Mu Dan's Encounter with Nature
Authors: Ye Qiongqiong , Gong Haomin 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This article takes as its point of departure an analysis of “The Phantom of the Jungle” and investigates how the poet Mu Dan's 穆旦 (1918–1977) view of nature and the world was destabilized and remodeled during the Second Sino-Japanese War by his encounter with the special kind of nature embodied in the primitive forests. This investigation is followed by an exploration of Mu Dan's writing about nature from the late 1930s to the 1940s, during which there appeared a noticeable transformation in his treatment of nature, from an element of ideological construction to an object of metaphysical meditation, that paralleled his change of poetic style, from being more romantic to being more modernist. Finally, we examine the role nature played in forming Mu Dan's most representative poetic thought, new lyricism (xin de shuqing 新的抒情), in the early 1940s, which, with his experience of a different kind of nature and the influence of English modernist poetry, led him to a style of poetic expression of a different nature.

Background
Severe and multiple disadvantage (SMD) is the combined effect of experiencing homelessness, substance use and repeat offending. People experiencing SMD have high burden of physical and mental health issues. Oral health is one of the most common health problems in people experiencing SMD which interacts with substance use, smoking, and unhealthy diet to create a cycle of harm and disadvantage. However, burden of these conditions is worsened by poor access to health services. This study aimed to identify pathways to improve engagement and access to health interventions, for oral health, substance and alcohol use, smoking and diet.

Methods
Using a qualitative methodology, interviews/focus groups were conducted with: (a) people experiencing SMD in Newcastle Upon Tyne/Gateshead; and (b) frontline staff, volunteer workers, policy makers and commissioners from London, Plymouth and Newcastle Upon Tyne/Gateshead. Data was analysed iteratively using thematic analysis.

Results
Twenty-eight people experiencing SMD (age range: 27–65 years; 21% females) and 78 service providers (age range: 28–72 years, 63% females) were interviewed or included in focus groups. Data were organized into two overarching factors: barriers to accessing health interventions and improving access to health interventions. Barriers included: wider disadvantages of people experiencing SMD leading to low priority for support for oral health and associated health behaviours, psychosocial factors, waiting period and physical space. Factors that improved access to interventions included: positive relationships between service provider and person experiencing SMD, including a support worker, location of services and outreach services.

Conclusions
The findings suggest the need for flexibility in offering services for oral health and related health behaviours for people experiencing SMD. Training health care providers and co-developing services with people with lived experience of SMD can help prevent (re)stigmatization. Systems-based approach to address factors on an environmental, organizational, inter-personal and individual level is needed. The results from this study could be extrapolated to other health intervention such as vaccinations and sexual and reproductive health.
Investigating access and use of digital tools for agriculture among rural farmers: A case study of Nkomazi Municipality, South Africa
Authors: Olorunfemi Oluwasogo David , Mamiane Thapelo Austin , Matiwane Mona Ben 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The study examined the access and utilization of digital tools for agriculture among rural farmers in Nkomazi, Mpumalanga, South Africa. Data were collected from 120 rural farmers who were purposively sampled in Nkomazi Municipality. Information was gathered from the respondents through enumerator-administered structured questionnaires. The data were analyzed descriptively using percentages, means, and ranks, and multiple linear regression was employed to analyze the influence of the farmers’ socio-economic characteristics on their utilization of digital tools. The findings reveal that the farmers had an average age of 45.81 years. Approximately half (50.9%) of the farmers had no formal education or only completed primary education, and the average years of farming experience was 8.62 years. Overall, the farmers had access to traditional digital tools and apps such as radio, television, and smartphones. However, their utilization of these tools and apps, especially modern digital tools such as WhatsApp (43.3%) and Facebook (37.5%) for agricultural purposes, was still relatively low. This can be attributed to various challenges highlighted by the farmers, including insufficient skills and training, high costs of tools and apps, and issues related to network coverage. The educational level and cosmopoliteness of the farmers were identified as key socio-economic factors influencing the utilization of digital tools among the respondents. It is recommended that the farmers receive education and training on the use of modern digital tools and apps to enhance their ability to leverage them effectively and efficiently for the benefit of their agricultural enterprise.
The repercussions of OV > VO shift in Hungarian: Variation and change in syntactic complex predicate formation
Authors: Gugán Katalin , Hegedűs Veronika 
Published: December 2024

AbstractThis paper investigates the diachronic development of Hungarian word order, focusing on the syntactic position in front of the finite verb in light of the syntactic shift from OV to VO order. The so-called Verb Modifiers (VMs), which precede the verb in Modern Hungarian, showed significant word order variation in earlier periods. It is examined how this variation, and especially the difference between verbal particles and other VMs, can be accounted for. The study concludes that the VM–V order is not a syntactic remnant but a result of a syntactic change that affects all VMs already in the early texts.
Book review. Venipuncture for the Application of Blood Concentrates. Shahram Ghanaati, MD, DMD, PhD, Chicago: Quintessence Publishing Co Inc
Authors: Brauer Hans Ulrich 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT
Book review. A small handbook on blood sampling for dentists and oral surgeons in the dental practice has been published. The sole author of this guide is Prof. Shahram Ghanaati, DDS, MD, PhD, Senior Consultant and Deputy Director of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Plastic Surgery at Frankfurt University Hospital, Germany. Although the advantages of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and other blood concentrates in dental implantology are well known, dentists and dental assistants are not used to taking blood samples. The author presents a guideline for collecting and preparing blood samples to ensure a high level of patient safety in these cases and a certain degree of professionalism in the dental profession. In his foreword, the author rightly points out that only regular practice can bring theory to life.
The soft-cover book is extremely compact at 64 pages. The author focuses on the individual work steps and points out possible application errors using 88 photos, illustrations, and generally very easy-to-understand language. The result is an inexpensive clinical guide describing the necessary equipment, anatomy, and the correct sequence of steps for successful venipuncture. It should be included in any oral surgery practice that wants to work with blood concentrates.
Of course, anyone looking for references or further information in this small book will not find what they want in the instructions. A list of possible application areas for blood concentrates must also be made. However, the reader is provided with efficient step-by-step instructions. Thus, the booklet elegantly helps close the knowledge gap among dentists regarding successful blood collection.

Authors: Rohmawati Eni Dyah Ayu 
Published: December 2024

This article discusses factors of pregnancy outside of wedlock in Tegalsari, Surabaya. The factors are adultery and rape. For Muslims in Indonesia, the commitment to religion remains strong, including in observing the prohibition of pre-marital sexual intercourse which is considered major sin in Islam. However, in big cities like Surabaya such commitment is diminishing, especially among Muslim youths. In Tegalsari district, the main factor for the occurrence of pregnancy outside wedlock is this lack of religious commitment. In addition, the urban environment such as loose parental supervision and technological advancement also contributes to the frequent occurrence of pregnancy outside of wedlock. In responding to this deteriorating situation, KUA (the office of religious affairs) which is in charge of marriage registration for Muslims, urges parents to supervise their children in their social lives and to make sure good education, especially religious education. In relation to legal aspect of marriage of pregnant women, the KUA officers referred to the four Islamic jurisprudence schools, namely Hanafi, Maliki, Syafi'I, and Hanbali who state that the marriage is valid and they become husband and wife.

Non-pharmacological interventions for ICU nurses’ burnout syndrome: A meta-analysis
Authors: Sangati Chetan Ramesh , Patil Bhairgouda , Alagundi Sanjay , Pujar Veerupayya 
Published: December 2024

Burnout syndrome is a critical issue among Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurses due to high workloads, emotional distress, and constant exposure to life-threatening situations. Characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a reduced sense of personal accomplishment, burnout negatively impacts both the well-being of nurses and the quality of patient care. While pharmacological interventions may offer some relief, non-pharmacological strategies are increasingly recognized as essential for preventing and managing burnout without the risk of medication-related side effects. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the effectiveness of various non-pharmacological interventions, such as art therapy, guided meditation, mindfulness-based stress reduction, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and peer support programs, in reducing the symptoms of burnout syndrome among ICU nurses.A systematic literature search was conducted across multiple databases (PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Cochrane Library) for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-experimental studies evaluating non-pharmacological interventions for burnout in ICU nurses. Studies published between 2010 and 2024 were included. The primary outcome measure was the reduction in burnout symptoms as assessed by validated scales such as the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Data extraction and quality assessment were performed independently by two reviewers, and statistical analyses were conducted using a random-effects model to calculate pooled effect sizes. A total of 18 studies involving 2,346 ICU nurses were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled effect size indicated that non-pharmacological interventions significantly reduced emotional exhaustion (Hedges’ g = 0.67, 95% CI [0.45, 0.89], p &#60; 0.01) and depersonalization (Hedges’ g = 0.59, 95% CI [0.38, 0.81], p &#60; 0.01) while improving personal accomplishment (Hedges’ g = 0.53, 95% CI [0.30, 0.76], p &#60; 0.01). Among the interventions, mindfulness-based stress reduction and CBT showed the highest efficacy, followed by art therapy and guided meditation. Peer support programs also demonstrated moderate effectiveness but were less studied.The findings suggest that non-pharmacological interventions, particularly mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral therapies, are effective in reducing burnout symptoms among ICU nurses. These interventions offer a sustainable, low-risk alternative to pharmacological approaches, contributing to better mental health outcomes and improved nurse retention in high-stress environments. Future research should focus on larger, multi-center trials and explore the long-term impacts of these interventions.
Evidence Synthesis Instructional Offerings in Library and Information Science Programs
Authors: Lafferty Meghan , Premji Zahra , Herold Philip , Kocher Megan , Marsalis Scott 
Published: December 2024

Objective – The goal of this study was to determine the extent to which evidence synthesis (ES) is incorporated into American Library Association (ALA)-accredited master’s level Library and Information Studies (LIS) programs. The study considered the depth of coverage, interest in additional curriculum content, and preferences for expanding existing coverage.
Methods – A cross-sectional survey was implemented. Program administrators and instructors currently involved with ALA-accredited master’s level LIS programs in Canada and the United States were eligible to participate. Recruitment emails targeted faculty and administrators from a directory of institutions offering ALA-accredited MLIS programs.
Results – 26 eligible responses from 20 unique institutions were obtained. Most respondents reported that ES is incorporated into the curriculum, albeit only briefly in most cases. Most of the respondents expressed interest in incorporating more ES content into the curriculum, specifically as a portion of a course. A greater number of respondents would prefer to bring in external guest speakers to teach the ES content, but a small percentage were interested in training for existing LIS instructors.
Conclusion – In-depth instruction on ES in LIS programs is currently limited. However, there appears to be interest in increasing ES content in curricula, primarily in the form of guest lecturers.
Faculty at an R2 University Show Varied Perceptions Toward Publishing and Using Open Access Scholarship
Authors: Lewis Abbey 
Published: December 2024

A Review of:
Scott, R. E., Murphy, J. A., Thayer-Styes, C., Buckley, C. E., & Shelley, A. (2023). Exploring faculty perspectives on open access at a medium-sized, American doctoral university. Insights the UKSG Journal, 36(1), 1-14. https://doi.org/10.1629/uksg.620
Objective – To examine faculty members’ preferences, experiences, and current practices for publishing and using Open Access (OA) content.
Design – Qualitative interviews and inductive coding of participants’ responses.
Setting – Illinois State University (ISU), a public R2 university.
Subjects – Twenty-five faculty members, representing all of ISU’s colleges.
Methods – Authors recruited participants via a faculty electronic mailing list, selecting 25 faculty members representing all of ISU’s colleges, as well as differing academic ranks and length of time since earning their terminal degrees. Interviews were conducted, recorded, and transcribed over Zoom. Authors used inductive coding to identify themes, while also seeking input from participants and external professionals to guarantee accurate and detailed representation of participants’ responses to the interview questions.
Main Results – All participants placed themselves somewhere on the spectrum between being completely opposed to, and enthusiastically participating in, OA publishing, with many noting tension between a principled belief in OA scholarship and difficulties with carrying out those beliefs due to journal quality or article processing fees. Some scholars were able to make use of grants, transformative agreements, or departmental funds to cover the costs associated with OA publishing. Disciplinary norms governed the sharing or use of unpublished, publicly accessible scholarship, with scholars in the sciences being more likely to place works in disciplinary repositories, such as arXiv. Participants expressed hesitation to post preprints to repositories due to lack of peer-review, legal considerations, and having one’s research ideas “scooped.” Lack of peer-review also contributed to hesitancy to cite preprints, although arXiv emerged as a highly regarded repository in terms of article quality for relevant scientific disciplines.
Conclusion – The authors conclude that perceptions of OA publishing are heavily determined by disciplinary norms, leading to a broad range of practices even within an R2 university. This necessitates multiple approaches by libraries to make OA publishing more possible and palatable for scholars including facilitating access to funds that alleviate or cover article processing fees, hosting OA journals, and providing quality education and support for publishing in reputable OA journals in one’s field. The authors see sustained shifts toward publishing in OA models as also likely to lead to scholars' increasing their use of others’ OA materials.
