TRANSCENDÊNCIA E IMANÊNCIA EM ERIC VOEGELIN
Authors: Oliveira Rodrigo de Abreu
Published: August 2023

A finalidade deste artigo é compreender a passagem de uma estrutura compacta de realidade para a diferenciada, segundo Eric Voegelin. Trata-se, portanto, de demonstrar duas cosmovisões que, em alguma medida, se contrapõe, visto que a que se manifesta nos poemas de Homero e Hesíodo serão refutadas pelos filósofos, mesmo quando os aspectos míticos são incorporados em suas filosofias. A proposta é mostrar a ampliação da realidade que acaba por incorporar uma discussão de ordem metafísica e religiosa, de modo que a percepção sobre o divino também se modifica.  Em Voegelin, a descoberta do realissimum transcendental mudará por completo a forma como entendemos e vivemos, de modo que a existência de um Ser que transcende o mundo oferece uma abertura espiritual que só poderá ser presenciada entre os hebreus e os cristãos. Assim, Voegelin explica os fundamentos da realidade a partir das revoluções propiciadas pelos filósofos, tendo como referência os dois maiores rapsodos gregos.
A ABERTURA DA SUBJETIVIDADE À INTERSUBJETIVIDADE
Authors: Dentz René Armand
Published: August 2023

A essência do ser humano, presente em cada indivíduo e compartilhada com o outro, define sua própria identidade. A noção de intersubjetividade, introduzida por Ricoeur e interpretada por Jervolino, sugere que a subjetividade é um presente, uma vez que cada pessoa é o outro do outro e só se torna um indivíduo nessa condição. Jervolino (1996) destaca que, embora se morra sozinho, apenas os vivos experimentam a morte, e a vida está diretamente ligada aos outros. Se a morte é um ato de individualidade, é somente ao se reconhecer os desejos em meio à comunidade dos seres humanos que se torna um ato de vida.
DIREITOS HUMANOS E MANUTENÇÃO DA ORDEM PÚBLICA
Authors: Rego Martin Ramalho de Freitas Leão , Costa Elaine Cristina Pimentel
Published: August 2023

O presente texto é a versão escrita e revisada da comunicação oral apresentada no I Congresso Internacional de Direito Público dos Direitos Humanos e Políticas de Igualdade, realizado pela Universidade Federal de Alagoas. A "ordem pública" é compreendida como o conjunto de valores, princípios e normas que fundamentam a organização social e política de uma sociedade, normatizando a convivência pacífica e harmônica entre seus membros. O trabalho busca debater o equilíbrio entre o interesse coletivo voltado à manutenção dessa ordem e o interesse individual relacionado à inviolabilidade de direitos humanos. Foram utilizados escritos de filósofos como Platão, Hobbes, Locke e Rousseau, sem prejuízo de outros autores. Problematiza-se a inafastabilidade da proteção aos direitos humanos como referência central para a limitação ao exercício do poder estatal. Foram debatidas algumas ideias filosóficas que sedimentaram o paradigma civilizatório atual, notadamente para combater distorções, abusos e retrocessos históricos.
PLATÃO RETÓRICO?
Authors: Barbosa Patricia Lucchesi
Published: August 2023

Platão se vale do termo que remete à condução das almas dos mortos proveniente da tradição religiosa, e modifica o seu uso ao dar-lhe significado equivalente ao da retórica, ou seja, a arte de conduzir as almas dos vivos por meio das palavras. Trata-se de melhor definir as aproximações e diferenças entre a arte retórica tal como praticada pelos oradores e a psicagogia como retórica filosófica, segundo a proposta original de Platão, a qual envolve um método e um objetivo próprios. A alma é definida por sua potência de ação e padecimento, mas sobretudo como fonte e princípio de movimento. A imagem utilizada é a de uma parelha de cavalos, cujo auriga teria o desafio de dar direcionalidade e condução ao composto trino, equalizando as forças motoras que, a princípio, podem ser díspares.
NEGACIONISMO COMO MANIFESTAÇÃO DO INTRÍNSECO DEFEITO DA RATIO MODERNA À LUZ DA TEORIA CRÍTICA
Authors: Gomes Ruan de Oliveira
Published: August 2023

A presente comunicação busca, por meio da teoria crítica sobretudo nas obras de Adorno e Horkheimer, identificar e analisar o fenômeno do negacionismo e sua relação com a ratio moderna. Assim, buscou-se primeiro contextualizar a modernidade no sentido histórico-filosófico enquanto continuidade e ruptura. Depois, analisar o fenômeno do Esclarecimento, projeto ápice da modernidade, para poder então delinear a falência da ratio moderna e como ocorreu a obliteração de uma ratio objetiva para uma subjetiva. Exposto isso, buscou-se analisar o fenômeno da barbárie e como depois dele o negacionismo torna-se reinvenção, readequação e reprodução da própria barbárie, sendo combatido na medida que o imperativo da memória torna-se presente.
O FEMINISMO ITALIANO
Authors: Teixeira Larissa
Published: August 2023

O seguinte trabalho propõe realizar uma breve análise do cenário filosófico feminista italiano.  Juntamente com a França, a Itália se tornou um grande centro de discussão para o pensamento da diferença sexual, uma forma peculiar de abordar o feminismo. Por conseguinte, procura-se evidenciar, em particular, a importância dos escritos de Carla Lonzi para o desenvolvimento de certos aspectos da filosofia feminista na Itália. Para concluir, destacaremos em particular as pensadoras da comunidade filosófica Diotimia, entre as quais emergem Luisa Murano e Adriana Cavarero. Diferente do feminismo igualitário (que deriva diretamente da primeira onda), tal feminismo colocou no centro do debate o conceito da diferença, pois a igualdade como princípio formal apagou a diferença feminina sem resolver, discriminações que continuaram e continuam a atuar. As filósofas propõem uma análise do conceito “sujeito” baseado em um esquema sexual, pois a falsa aparição do homem ao “neutro”, garante a reprodução da sociedade patriarcal.
CONSTITUIÇÃO DO SUJEITO ACADÊMICO EM TEMPOS DE FERRAMENTAS DE INTELIGÊNCIA ARTIFICIAL
Authors: Brito Robson Figueiredo , Lopes Maria Ângela Paulino Teixeira
Published: August 2023

Este artigo constitui um desdobramento da exposição dos autores, em um dos encontros promovidos no âmbito do projeto “Diálogos pertinentes” cuja temática foi a reflexão sobre a questão das novas tecnologias, tendo em vista os avanços decorrentes da Inteligência Artificial (IA), cada vez mais presente em nossa vida. O foco do estudo recairá sobre a interação dos sujeitos universitários com os objetos do conhecimento, frente às possibilidades trazidas pelas ferramentas de geração de textos. Pretendemos examinar possíveis repercussões de usos da ferramenta ChatGPT no processo de formação acadêmica e profissional, e refletir sobre as implicações dos recursos de geração de textos na constituição autoral do sujeito universitário. Ancoramo-nos em estudos de perspectiva enunciativa que concebem as práticas discursivas em interação, ou seja, sob uma ótica discursiva marcada pela alteridade, pelo dialogismo e pela responsividade. Para examinar as práticas enunciativas e autorais dos sujeitos no diálogo entre linguagem e discurso, estabelecemos uma interface entre o quadro discursivo dialógico e as contribuições de pesquisadores alinhados à Análise do Discurso (AD). Por fim, apontamos para um desafio: ler esse “arquivo” de inteligência artificial sob o prisma da comunidade universitária sempre em interface com os saberes que dela se descortinam.
Trieb und Ödipus
Authors: Fäh Markus
Published: August 2023

Judith Le Soldat machte im Rahmen ihrer Theorie der ödipalen Entwicklung bahnbrechende Entdeckungen: Das Kind erschafft sich imaginäre Organe, begeht in der Fantasie Kastrationstat, Raubmord und Verrat und gerät dadurch in ausweglose verzweifelte seelische Situationen. Diese kindlichen Lösungen hinterlassen in der menschlichen Psyche tiefe Spuren und führen zur fatalen Neigung des Menschen zum Unglück. Diese innovative Erweiterung der ödipalen Entwicklungslehre schließt Lücken in der klassischen Psychoanalyse, eröffnet neue Sichtweisen und wirksamere Behandlungsmöglichkeiten, z.B. für Erfolgshemmungen, Ängste, Depressionen und sexuelle Symptome. Im ersten Band der Reihe führen Kenner*innen des Werks von Judith Le Soldat zunächst in ihre neue und erweiterte Theorie des Ödipuskomplexes ein, um dann deren klinische und therapeutische Anwendung anhand detaillierter, sorgfältiger und präziser Beobachtungen von Kindern zu illustrieren und mittels ausführlich dokumentierter Behandlungsverläufe zu erläutern. Das Buch richtet sich gleichermaßen an erfahrene Psychoanalytiker*innen und Psychotherapeut*innen wie an Studierende und interessierte Laien.
Das Gespenst der Pandemie
Authors: Höll Davina
Published: August 2023

An der Schnittstelle von Literaturwissenschaft und Medizingeschichte zeigt Davina Höll, wie die traumatische Epidemieerfahrung der Leitkrankheit des 19. Jahrhunderts, der Cholera, Eingang in die zeitgenössische Literatur gefunden hat. Am Beispiel des epi- und pandemischen Ausnahmezustandes führt sie vor, wie eng wissenschaftliche, politische, gesellschaftliche und kulturelle Diskurse miteinander verwoben sind und welche Rolle Kunst und Literatur insbesondere in Krisenzeiten bei diesen Austauschprozessen spielen. Die Studie, die u.a. Texte von Mark Twain, Heinrich Heine und George Eliot untersucht, ist ein Plädoyer für inter- und transdisziplinäres Denken und Forschen.
Römische Jurisprudenz und stoische Logik
Authors: Hülser Karlheinz
Published: August 2023

Die römische Jurisprudenz hat sich unter dem Einfluss der griechischen Dialektik zu einer förmlichen Wissenschaft entwickelt. Wie stark dieser Einfluss genau war, ist in der Forschung strittig. Im vorliegenden Buch unterbreitet Karlheinz Hülser dazu drei Fallstudien. Er zeigt darin anhand von Q. Mucius Scaevola pont. und Servius Sulpicius Rufus, Proculus, und Ulpian, dass in Rom von der Stoa und der Platonischen Akademie nicht nur die Anwendungen der Dialektik übernommen wurden, sondern dass die Römer vor allem die Reflexionsdimension der Logik zu schätzen lernten.

There are billions of inter-connected devices by the help of Internet-of-Things (IoT) that have been used in a number of applications such as for wearable devices, e-healthcare, agriculture, transportation, etc. Interconnection of devices establishes a direct link and easily shares the information by utilizing the spectrum of cellular users to enhance the spectral efficiency with low power consumption in an underlaid Device-to-Device (D2D) communication. Due to reuse of the spectrum of cellular devices by D2D users causes severe interference between them which may impact on the network performance. Therefore, we proposed a Q-Learning based low power selection scheme with the help of multi-agent reinforcement learning to detract the interference that helps to increase the capacity of the D2D network. For the maximization of capacity, the updated reward function has been reformulated with the help of a stochastic policy environment. With the help of a stochastic approach, we figure out the proposed optimal low power consumption techniques which ensures the quality of service (QoS) standards of the cellular devices and D2D users for D2D communication in 5G Networks and increase the utilization of resources. Numerical results confirm that the proposed scheme improves the spectral efficiency and sum rate as compared to Q-Learning approach by 14% and 12.65%.

We described the placing of the mobile agents in a dynamic environment. It formed a dynamic environment for a complex of dynamically changing mobile agents. We described a two-level system of connections at the global and local levels of interaction. Such a scheme allows you to support the survivability of a dynamic environment. We presented the model of placement of mobile agents in a dynamic environment, which forms the basis of the trajectory of interaction between mobile agents, enabling us to combine the dynamic environment into a unified dynamic environment. The proposed method for mobile agents parameters restoring in a unified dynamic environment, taking into account the similarity coefficients, allows restore 80% parameters of an inaccessible mobile agent. This indicates the high efficiency of the objects description in the form of a unified dynamic environment in order to maintain its integrity.
MOTIFSM: Cloudera Motif DNA Finding Algorithm
Authors:   Computer and Control Department, Faculty of Engineering, Tanta University, Tanta, Egypt, Allam Tahani M.
Published: August 2023

Many studying systems of gene function work depend on the DNA motif. DNA motifs finding generate a lot of trails which make it complex. Regulation of gene expression is identified according to Transcription Factor Binding Sites (TFBSs). There are different algorithms explained, over the past decades, to get an accurate motif tool. The major problems for these algorithms are on the execution time and the memory size which depend on the probabilistic approaches. Our previous algorithm, called EIMF, is recently proposed to overcome these problems by rearranging data. Because cloud computing involves many resources, the challenge of mapping jobs to infinite computing resources is an NP-hard optimization problem. In this paper, we proposed an Impala framework for solving a motif finding algorithms in single and multi-user based on cloud computing. Also, the comparison between Cloud motif and previous EIMF algorithms is performed in three different motif group. The results obtained the Cloudera motif was a considerable finding algorithms in the experimental group that decreased the execution time and the Memory size, when compared with the previous EIMF algorithms. The proposed MOTIFSM algorithm based on the cloud computing decrease the execution time by 70% approximately in MOTIFSM than EIMF framework. Memory size also is decreased in MOTIFSM about 75% than EIMF.

Getting published a research article in a medical journal is a sensational experience as it symbolizes the aftermath and acknowledgment of a strenuous course. Solely, a research article can have implications in clinical practice if it has followed a clear and through path and can be a savior for the patients. Envisaging a research idea, practically working on it, writing a research article by a health care provider and printing an article by editors are both crucial quality concerns. Mutually they should know the expectations of each other. This editorial features the guiding principles of writing a worthy scientific piece of research so that it is not excluded by any editor from the journal.
Intervention
Authors: Williams Charles ,   After Dinner Conversation
Published: August 2023

Is there a difference between the right to end your own life quickly, vs slowly? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, Bill has decided it is time for a family intervention. His younger brother Tom gained 100 pounds after his wife died and it is affecting his health. His doctor’s have advised him to lose weight and proscribed him medication he refuses to take. Bill tells his plan to their sister, who opts out of the family intervention, arguing it’s his life, and if anyone should be having an intervention, it should be his daughters. Bill disagrees and, after a fishing trip, confronts Tom about his weight. Tom pushes back, arguing that eating makes him happy, that he doesn’t want to live to become an invalid, and that many cultures view obesity in a positive light. Eventually, Tom agrees he will consider making eating habit changes, but only if Bill and the rest of the family quit pestering him.
The Value of Socratic Inquiry in the Apology
Authors: Matherne Matthew ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: August 2023

What makes Socratic inquiry valuable? A standard response is what I term instrumentalism: Socratic inquiry is merely instrumentally valuable; it is valuable only because it produces valuable results. This paper challenges instrumentalism. First, I present two value puzzles for instrumentalists and argue that these puzzles are best solved by denying instrumentalism. Then, I survey passages in the Apology that point to the source of Socratic inquiry’s non-instrumental value.
Deceptive Pleasures in Republic ix
Authors: Parry Richard D. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: August 2023

In Republic ix, Socrates begins his argument that deceptive pleasure causes insatiable desire by citing the error that cessation of pain is the greatest pleasure. Some interpret this error as an illusion, experiencing pleasure when there is no pleasure; but illusion cannot explain insatiable desire. Our interpretation explains insatiable desire—and Socrates’ restatement of wisdom and justice to include pleasures, which links the knowledge of unchanging reality with these virtues.
Porphyry, Eusebius, and Epistemology
Authors: Greenwood David Neal ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: August 2023

I argue for the authenticity of a fragment found in Eusebius, PE i 2.2-5, and sometimes attributed to Porphyry of Tyre. I argue against the case for non-Porphyrian authorship that has become dominant in recent years, employing evidence that highlights congruity with generally accepted Porphyrian works. This allows me to move on to an initial reconstruction of Porphyry’s religious epistemology, and to assess what that means in his historical context.
The high price of green energy: Adjustments in general equilibrium
Authors: Thompson Henry
Published: August 2023

The high price of energy due to green energy policy will cause adjustments across the US economy predicted in the present general equilibrium model that includes energy Btu input with capital and labor to produce manufactures and services.  This same model in trade theory examines the effects of a tariff on an imported factor of production such as a natural resource or capital.  Corresponding error correction estimates of the reduced form equations of the model in annual 1970-2018 data prove robust and suggest model modifications.  A parametric approach to noncompetitive pricing based on unit cost diminishing with output brings the model much closer to the estimates.  Manufactures are revealed to have a higher degree of noncompetitive pricing than services.  Assuming constant elasticity of substitution production, a weak degree is revealed to provide the best fit to the error correction estimates.  The high price of green energy will cause an inelastic decrease in energy input resulting in increased energy revenue.  Outputs of both sectors fall, more in manufactures due to its energy intensity.  The capital return and wage also fall given the weak substitution of capital and labor relative to the price of energy.  The wage rises slightly in the model but falls considerably in the error correction estimate.  The only clear winner is energy input with increased revenue.  The government owns a large share of hydrocarbon reserves and will benefit from a higher price of energy.

Preservation and Restoration of Ireland's Peatlands Will Reduce the Amount of Carbon Dioxide in the Atmosphere
Authors: Chapman Jade , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Climate change, and the e¬ffects of climate change, are of critical importance to the planet and to those who inhabit it. Trees are being planted throughout the world, but they may not be the most efficient way to capture carbon from the atmosphere. This study performed an extensive literature search to determine the relevance of peatlands in capturing carbon. We found that less nitrogen is needed to capture carbon in peatlands than other types of soils, and that overall, the preservation and restoration of Ireland’s peatlands are a key part in combatting climate change by reducing the buildup of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Examining Self-Esteem as a Moderator of Attachment Styles and Sexual Partners
Authors: Kinderknecht Dezerae , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this study was to examine self-esteem as a moderator of attachment styles and the number of sexual partners an individual has had in their lifetime. Previous literature has found that an individual’s level of self-esteem affects a person’s number of sexual partners (e.g., those with low self-esteem tend to have more sexual partners). Studies have also been conducted examining the correlation between attachment styles and number of sexual partners, finding that those with an insecure attachment style, namely anxious or avoidant attachment, tend to have more sexual partners. While previous literature has examined these factors separately, this study aims to examine self-esteem as a moderator of attachment style on the number of sexual partners an individual has. In doing so, we aim to determine if self-esteem may predict when attachment styles influence decisions regarding sexual partners.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) individuals face obstacles in accessing healthcare services due to previous experiences both within and outside of healthcare (Hafeez, Zeshan, Tahir, Jahan, & Naveed, 2017; Macapagal, Bhatia, & Green, 2016). Healthy People 2020 (2018) identified LGBTQ people as a vulnerable population susceptible to poor health outcomes. Support of the LGBTQ community is imperative. Low healthcare literacy can be one contributing factor to unwillingness to access services (Alencar-Albuquerque et al., 2016). The purpose of this project was to translate research into action, and address lack of support of LGBTQ individuals in regards to healthcare access. Support topics were identified via a health equity survey and were discussed during campus Gender and Sexuality Alliance meetings to improve support resources for LGBTQ students on a Midwestern University campus. Ultimately, the goal is that by removing barriers to care for members of the LGBTQ community, health outcomes will be improved. Keywords: LGBTQ, healthcare, access to care, health disparities

Introduction: Treatment with laser light energy has been utilized as a modality for pain reduction, modulating inflammation process, and promoting tissue repair for many years. The most recent laser version is called class IV. The purpose of this study was to review the efficacy of class IV lasers on orthopedic injuries and disorders. Methods: Randomized control trial studies using class IV laser treatment were reviewed. The quality of studies was assessed with inclusion and exclusion criteria. Pain reduction, range of motion (ROM), strength, and disability were the main outcomes. Results: 10 articles met inclusion criteria. Improvements in pain ROM, strength, and disabilities were observed after class IV laser treatment and in follow-up evaluations. Conclusions: Class IV laser therapy shows potential as an effective modality for pain reduction and improving function in patients with orthopedic injuries and disorders. Further research is needed to examine appropriate dosage and parameters for optimal effects.
Media, True Crime, and Public Perceptions

Published: August 2023

If you have ever found yourself confused on where you stand with a current event in the criminal justice world, you’ve probably fallen victim to media framing. All frames are supported by some portion of the public, and often, people tend to support more than one frame at a time. Many true crime consumers and justice system enthusiasts are able to perceive each case differently when the stories are constructed using different frames. For example, through the Faulty Criminal Justice System Frame, O.J. Simpson can be seen as guilty. This is accomplished by using the narrative that pins the criminal justice system as corrupt, or unable to complete the one task it was designed to do. However, when the story is told using the Racist System Frame, he is innocent. This frame shows the criminal justice system as a tool to further oppress and discriminate against those who belong to minority groups.

Published: August 2023

With advancing technologies, healthcare practices are evolving and improving all the time. When the goal is to keep up with these constantly changing practices, nursing programs are regularly reviewing the latest research to ensure that they are up to date when it comes to clinical experiences. In addition, nursing shortages, which in turn cause nurse educator and clinical site shortages, force simulation and other practical experiences to become more prevalent. One type of simulation that is small but still growing is virtual reality (Aebersold, 2018). With the addition of virtual reality simulations in nursing programs, students can feel more prepared for not only their clinical experiences, but also for the high-fidelity simulation experiences. Virtual reality can also help to boost nursing students’ confidence, improve communication, and optimize learning skills. After analyzing the literature, it was deduced that virtual reality simulations have a positive impact on nursing students’ education.

During WWII, there were a number of airfields in Kansas, including Walker Air Force Base in Russell County, Kansas, that trained B-29 bomber crews. During an Army Air Force (AAF) training mission on May 5, 1945 the semi-experienced crew 383rd Bomb Group of Flight 294 experienced an external fire in engine #1. At 1500 feet the bomber turned sharply, nosed vertically, exploded on impact, and was embedded in a field at an undisclosed site in Russell County, Kansas. Within minutes 5 crew bailed out, but 8 of the 13-man crew perished, their bodies recovered, but much of the buried bomber was left on site. In 2010 a magnetometer survey was conducted to determine if any anomalies at the crash site could be used to target the B29. Initially four anomalies were detected, but no excavations took place. A 2013 reconnaissance and a 2014 survey eventually led to the detection of the B29 and subsequent excavation took place.
Effects of Platelet-rich Plasma Injections on the Healing of Different Tissues in Athletes: A Systematic Review
Authors: Griffith Kelly , Fitzhugh David , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Sprains, strains, and tendinopathies are some of the most common injuries inathletics and each present their own challenges for sports medicine practitioners. A new form of nonoperative treatment called Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections have gained attention and consideration for treating soft tissue injuries. PRP is a preparation of autologous human plasmawith an increased platelet concentration. When injected, the PRP releases larger amounts than normally found in the body of growth factors and cytokines to the injury site. This is theorized to start the natural healing process.Purpose: To analyze the effects of platelet-rich plasma injections in athletes suffering fromligament, tendon, or musculoskeletal injuries through a systematic review of literature.Methods: A search of Pubmed, Cochran Central, Ebscohost, and Medline was conducted with the keywords “platelet-rich plasma injections” followed by “in athletes”. The inclusion criteria consisted of any article analyzing the use of PRP injections for treatment of a sprain, strain, or tendinosis in athletes. The methodology of each article found was critically appraised using the PEDro appraisal scale. The exclusion criteria were articles which used PRP injections for non-athletes, the experiment was conducted on animals, the study compared the injections to another form of treatment, and/or given a score below a five on the PEDro scale.Results: A total of 11 studies were included in the qualitative data synthesis based on theinclusion and exclusion criteria. Three different tissues were researched. Studies analyzing each different type of tissue found the use of platelet-rich plasma injections to be effective inaccelerating the healing process which ultimately decreases the athletes time to return to play. However, some studies also did not find any difference in healing time and pain.Conclusion: The study analyzed new research on the overall effectiveness of platelet-richplasma injections in the athletic population. The available evidence showed an overall positive outcome, but some precautions of accepting the research should be considered. More research should be conducted to solidify these results. Once the research has proven it to be a new form of effective treatment, then it can be utilized by sports medicine teams more frequently to aid in the healing time and decrease time to return to play.

The overall goal for this research project is to examine and determine certain factors that affect a person’s financial well-being. More importantly, each factor will be analyzed and controlled in order to articulate an explanation as to why certain financial well-being scores differ from individuals in different age groups. It is assumed that each person determines their state of finances differently because of certain variables that affect them. This regression model will show that income, gender, and marital status affect an individual’s personal financial well-being more significantly when they are between the ages of 25 and 34, in comparison to all other ages under 62. Also, one will be able to see the financial well-being scores amongst all age groups and how they greatly vary between total scores.
Empowering Schools and Family

Many barriers exist in terms of parental involvement in their child’s education. Time constraints, language issues, poverty, education, and not feeling like a member of the “team” are some of the common barriers many parents have reported as reasons for lack of involvement in their child’s schooling. Language issues include lack of English proficiency which hinders their ability to communicate with school personnel. Comprehension is also impaired and further contributes to communication barriers, (Arias & Morillo-Campbell, 2008). Parents also have stated not feeling as though they are a part of the their child’s educational team. They do not feel welcomed by those in the school, feel intimidated by not only the school personnel but the setting as well, and often are unaware of how important their involvement in their child’s education really is, (Harris & Goodall, 2008). Due to this intimidation, parents, especially those of with language confines, will often avoid having contact with the school. A parent’s level of education can also contribute to this feeling of intimidation. Parents with lower levels of education may be unable to comprehend some of the terminology being used in the school setting by teachers and other school personnel, (Sheridan, Knoche, Edwards, Bovaird, & Kupzyk, 2010). They are also less likely to be able to help their child with their studies. Families in low income or poverty situations also face barriers of time constraints due to working many additional hours and shifts to support families, (Sheridan, Knoche, Edwards, Bovaird, & Kupzyk, 2010). This leaves little time for communication with their child’s school. The limited time available for conferences and communication by teachers further prevents effective communication between parents and their child’s school.

The purpose of this systematic review is to compare the effects of blood flow restriction training (BFRT) to traditional resistance training (RT) with regards to muscular strengthening with a consideration of pain during exercise. The research databases used included PEDro Physiotherapy Evidence Database and CINAHL. The key search terms used were blood flow restriction training, blood flow restriction exercise, occlusion training, occlusion exercise, musculoskeletal, and rehabilitation. Six different peer-reviewed research articles address this clinical intervention are included with their respective results and applicability. The population totaled 186 participants who participated in clinical trials (Bryk et al., 2016; Bunevičius et al., 2019; Erickson et al., 2019; Hughes et al., 2019; Iversen & Larmo, 2016; Ladlow et al., 2018). BFRT is shown to be beneficial and significantly more effective in muscular strengthening (Bryk et al., 2016; Erickson et al., 2019; Ladlow et al., 2018), functionality (Bryk et al., 2016; Bunevičius et al., 2019; Erickson et al., 2019; Ladlow et al., 2018), pain reduction during exercise (Bryk et al., 2016; Hughes et al., 2019; Ladlow et al., 2018), and muscular endurance (Bunevičius et al., 2019). However, one clinical trial found the use of BFRT found no significant difference in muscular strengthening when compared to a control group (p = 0.6265) (Iversen & Larmo, 2016). BFRT shows the potential to be a more effective means of training in rehabilitation when compared to traditional high load resistance training. However, further and more comprehensive research is required to prove its efficiency in clinical application.

In recent years, heart rate has become easier to measure and collect data. Heart rate is a direct measurement of the autonomic nervous system. Therefore, it is utilized in aerobic training to determine an appropriate exercise intensity within a general population. Long distance runners utilize blood lactate threshold-based and maximum oxygen uptake-based speeds and paces as their exercise intensity during training. Overtraining is often determined by rate of perceived exertion by the athlete. There has yet to be an established physiological marker to indicate overtraining in collegiate long-distance runners. There are strong correlations between blood lactate threshold and VO2 with heart rate physiological markers such as percent maximal heart rate (%Hrmax) and heart rate variability (HRV). HR-based physiological markers that can be utilized to indicate overtraining are %Hrmax with intensity zones, %HRR with intensity zones, HRV, and cardiac drift. However, further studies need to be conducted to establish appropriate utilization of each physiological marker.

Reading comprehension models implemented in content classrooms boost adolescent reading achievement. Yet, few researchers examine how such models are incorporated into teachers’ daily instruction. We used extended observations and interviews to examine the integration of Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR), an evidence-based reading comprehension model, into the instructional practices of fifteen middle school content teachers. High integration teachers embedded CSR lessons into their curriculum and reinforced CSR strategy use throughout the week. These teachers felt supported in their efforts by colleagues and school administrators. There is much to be learned from the ways in which teachers engage in the art of integrating new methods into their teaching.

Online learning is a popular method for graduate nursing programs. Today, we live in a rapidly evolving society. Many students live at a distance from the university setting. They have a family and a job; but also want to advance their education.Courses need to be student friendly and stimulating. In many of the Graduate courses, the Department of Nursing added a variety of tools to keep the course content challenging for the student. Students in general have varying learning preferences. Some students are more comfortable with technology than others. Blackboard Learning is already simulated with a variety of tools including Learning Activities, Discussion Board, Quizzes and Exams. Additional tools are necessary to enhance learning and collaboration. Students are asked to submit an anonymous evaluation of the course midterm and at the end of the course for ongoing improvement.

•This mixed-method study is a collaborative effort that draws on faculty expertise in marketing, tourism and communication. The study seeks to identify the consumer values and motivations implicated in the rise of microbreweries in the Midwest. Over the course of a few decades, craft beers have gained significant market share relative to large-scale commercial brands. The study aims to identify salient factors underlying the popularity of craft beers, taking into consideration both individual consumer preferences as well as how these intersect with socio-economic megatrends such as the “buy local” movement and agri-tourism.•The popularity of microbreweries is further evidenced in an increasing number of beer festivals and associated regional events. As these have become fixtures on annual calendars, additional questions regarding group affiliation and how it informs conceptions of self among craft beer enthusiasts’ demands exploring. Thus the proposed study further aims to shed light on social dimensions of these trends in a regional setting. Overall, results will not only fill gaps in knowledge concerning regional consumers, but will provide an understanding of shifting socio-cultural trends as reflected in the microbrewery movement at local levels.

Climatic Impact of Cross-Timber Production and Ecosystem Services on Profit Efficiency
Authors: Sancewich Brian , McDonald Iryna , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

The Cross-Timbers is a forested region that stretches from southern Kansas to central Oklahoma and into Texas. As an essential transitional ecotone between the eastern forest and Great Plains grassland biomes, this region is crucial for maintaining biological diversity. Much of this land is not actively managed for the critical ecosystem services that benefit people living in the region. The Cross-Timbers face threats from natural and anthropogenic factors, including climate variability. The lack of proper forest management (prescribed fires and thinning’s) has resulted in a reduction of wildlife habitats and water availability, and an increased risk of wildfires surrounding human development. These losses in ecosystem services are concerning given the high population pressure, with over 17 million people projected to be directly dependent on these services by 2040. Therefore, analyzing the economic capacity of the region to efficiently use and provide natural resources is critical for improving economic wealth. Efficient forest management practices can result in increased forest productivity and profitability, leading to the development of markets for other non-timber benefits, such as carbon sequestration, hunting, biodiversity, water production, and recreational activities. These practices can position the Cross-Timbers forests as a feasible commodity for emerging natural resource markets. To assess the economic efficiency of the region's forests, we applied stochastic frontier analysis, which measures profit efficiency. Using data from the USDA Forest Inventory and Analysis program at the forest plot level between 2004-2019, we examined the impacts of forest management practices, natural disturbances, and climatic variables on profit efficiency. Our results indicate that the Cross-Timbers forests are economically inefficient in the provision of ecosystem services. Damage caused by abiotic factors reduces profit efficiency by 3.4%, while damage caused by biological factors increases profit efficiency by 23%. The productivity of the site also increases profit efficiency by 17%. Overall, forests in this region generate negative profits when providing ecosystem services. Kansas forests generate higher and more stable profits over time than those in Oklahoma and Texas, and managing softwoods shows to be a more economically attractive alternative than managing oaks, which show the largest variability in profits across the three states.
