Barriers to BIM Adoption and Environmental Sustainability in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Bibliometric and PLS-SEM Approach
Authors: Precious Doe 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

The study presents a comprehensive analysis of Building Information Modelling (BIM) research and its impact on environmental sustainability in the context of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The research employs a two-part methodology, combining a bibliometric analysis of BIM-related publications from the Scopus database with an empirical investigation using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The bibliometric analysis reveals trends, influential publications, and collaboration networks in BIM research within SSA, highlighting the limited adoption and implementation of BIM in the region compared to developed countries. The PLS-SEM results indicate significant positive relationships between knowledge and information-related barriers and environmental sustainability, as well as between market-related barriers and environmental sustainability. However, the relationship between human-related barriers and environmental sustainability is not statistically significant. The study contributes to the Technology Acceptance Model by extending its application to the context of BIM adoption and environmental sustainability in SSA, challenging traditional assumptions and highlighting the need for further research on mediating and moderating factors.
#73 - Pädagogik | Technik | Utopie Folge 1: Fachredaktionstalk
Authors: Redaktion merz  
Published: November 2024

Was braucht es in düsteren Zeiten? Utopien!

Utopien sind wichtig für den gesellschaftlichen Wandel. Sie lassen auf eine bessere Zukunft und die Überwindung von Missständen hoffen. Sie motivieren Menschen, das aus ihrer Sicht Richtige zu tun.

Auch medienpädagogisches Handeln steht in einem engen Verhältnis zu utopischem Denken, wenn es Menschen Möglichkeitsräume eröffnet, Gesellschaft mitzugestalten und neu zu denken. In Zeiten, die von vielen als Dauer- und Polykrise erlebt werden, können Utopien so der Ausbreitung von Resignation und Fatalismus entgegenwirken.
Im Talk erzählt uns Dr. Wolfgang Reißmann, was seine Motivation zu diesem Heft war, was er bei der Erstellung gelernt hat und warum Utopien unerlässlich für die Medienpädagogik sind bzw. warum auch die Medienpädagogik selbst eine Utopie ist.

Relationale Agency zwischen Jugendlichen, Plattformen und Algorithmen
Authors: Müller Jane 
Published: November 2024

Menschen und Medien sind in einer tiefgreifend mediatisierten Welt umfassend miteinander verwoben. Medien nehmen dabei zunehmend nicht mehr nur die Rolle der Mittler von Kommunikation ein. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird die Frage bearbeitet, wie eine solche gewandelte Rolle von Medien auf den Alltag Jugend­licher Einfluss nehmen kann. Dabei stehen Fragen von Agency, welche hier ­relational gefasst wird, im Zentrum. Berichtet werden die Ergebnisse einer explora­tiven empirischen Untersuchung mit Jugendlichen zwischen 14 und 19 Jahren. Diese wurden in ihrem Alltag begleitet, beobachtet und ergänzend interviewt. Der Beitrag arbeitet heraus, wie Jugendliche Agency konstruieren und wem oder was sie in spezifischen Situationen Agent*innenschaft zuweisen.
ФИЛОСОФСКИЕ ОСНОВАНИЯ МЕТОДОЛОГИИ ИСТОРИИРУССКОЙ ВЕРСИИ НЕОКАНТИАНСТВАА. И. ВВЕДЕНСКИЙ И В. ДИЛЬТЕЙ
Authors: М.Ф. Румянцева 
Published: November 2024

Сопоставлено эпистемологическое основание концепции методологии истории А.С. Лаппо-Данилевского с «психофизиологическим законом отсутствия признаков одушевления» основоположника русской версии неокантианства А.И. Введенского и принципами «описательной психологии» В. Дильтея. Показано системообразующее значение принципа признания чужой одушевленности в теории познания Лаппо-Данилевского. Выявлена общность в понимании Введенским, Дильтеем и Лаппо-Данилевским объекта исторического познания – объективированного продукта психической жизни/исторического источника, цели гуманитарного познания – понимания Другого, а также метода – аналогии с собственной душевной жизнью.
The article presents a comparison between the epistemological foundations of the concept of the methodology of history by A.S. Lappo-Danilevsky and that of the “psycho-physiological law of the absence of signs of another soul” by A. I. Vvedensky, the founder of the Russian version of neo-Kantianism, and the principles of “descriptive psychology” by W. Dilthey. It shows the strategic importance of the principle of recognition of another soul in the epistemological concept by A.S. Lappo-Danilevsky. Shared ideas of A.I. Vvedensky, V. Dilthey and A.S. Lappo-Danilevsky were identified in their understanding of the object of historical knowledge: an objectified product of mental life /historical source, the aim of human cognition was thought to be an understanding of the Other, and its method – similar to the private mental life.
БРАТЬЯ ГРИММ В ИСТОРИЧЕСКОЙ ПАМЯТИ НЕМЦЕВ
Authors: Н.Н. Баранов 
Published: November 2024

В статье рассматривается образ братьев Гримм и его значение для идентичности немцев. Установки официальной политической культуры во многом определяли вывод на первый план тех или иных личностных черт и элементов творческого наследия братьев. В кайзеровской Германии отмечалась их приверженность национально-государственному единству и величию. При национал-социалистах подчеркивали их вклад в пропаганду национальной и даже расовой исключительности. Для бФРГ их главное значение состояло в стремлении к культурной интеграции и преодолению политических барьеров средствами языка. В ГДР превозносили якобы присущий им демократизм и республиканизм. До сего дня они сами и их труды остаются заметной составной частью немецкой массовой культуры.
The article considers the image of the Grimm brothers as “places of memory” and its significance for the identity of the Germans. From the change of official political ideology, those or other personal traits and elements of the brothers’ heritage came to the forefront. The brothers’ commitment to national-state unity and greatness was noted in Kaiser Germany. Their contribution to the propaganda of national and even racial exclusiveness was emphasized under the National Socialists. For the Bonn republic, their main importance was in the striving for cultural integration and overcoming political barriers by means of language. The GDR was extolled allegedly inherent democracy and republicanism. To this day, Grimm brothers themselves and their works remain an important part of German mass culture. Keywords: Brothers Grimm, Germany, “places of memory”, historical memory, political culture
СПЕЦИФИКА ПРОСВЕТИТЕЛЬСКИХ ТЕНДЕНЦИЙУ НАРОДОВ СЕВЕРНОГО КАВКАЗАВО ВТОРОЙ ПОЛОВИНЕ XVIII – НАЧАЛЕ XX ВЕКА
Authors: Н.О. Блейх , Л.В. Дзанагова 
Published: November 2024

В статье анализируются особенности просветительских тенденций в Северо-Кавказском крае. Данные, приводимые в статье, географически охватывают весь Северный Кавказ в хронологической последовательности с 1750 по 1917 гг. Авторы доказывают, что становление просветительства в наиболее отсталом районе империи имеет характерные черты, обусловленные менталитетом горских народов. В этом процессе выявлены четыре стадии: генезисная (1760–1850), предреформенная (1850–1864), постреформенная (1864–1890), революционная (1890–1917).
The article presents an analysis of educational trends in the North Caucasus. The source material used in the study encompasses all of the North Caucasus and covers the period between 1750 and 1917. The authors conclude that the development of educational policies in the most backward region of the empire had its peculiar trends defined by the mentalities of the local ethnic groups. Four stages have been revealed in the history of the North-Caucasian education: its genesis (1760–1850), pre-reform (1850–1864), post-reform (1864–1890), and revolutionary (1890–1917).
INTELLECTUAL ARCHAEOLOGIES OF MEDIEVALISMIDENTITY AND HISTORICAL MEMORYIN LATVIAN MEDIEVAL STUDIES IN SOVIET PERIOD(the case of Vasilii Doroshenko)
Authors: M.V. Kyrchanoff 
Published: November 2024

The author analyzes the problems of intellectual archeology of Vasilii Doroshenko’s texts. Vasily Doroshenko, the Soviet medievalist, began his academic career in Moscow University. Political dynamics of Soviet society in the second half of the 1940s forced him to participate in an anti-Semitic campaign and criticize Aleksandr Iosifovich Neusykhin who was his supervisor. A few years later Vasilii Doroshenko emigrated to Latvian SSR because he was not able to integrate into the community of Moscow medievalists. Doroshenko’s career in Latvia was formally successful, and he became one of the leading Latvian medievalists. The author analyzes the problems of intellectual and cultural archeology of Vasilii Doroshenko’s texts, published in Latvia. The culture of citation was a unique phenomenon in the Soviet historiography. The author tries to analyze why Vasilii Doroshenko cites some and ignored other Soviet historians. The author presumes that culture of citations in contexts of intellectual archaeology can be perceived as a form of symbolic communication and the exchange of gifts between the Soviet medievalists. The culture of citation can also be perceived as the invented tradition.
Автор анализирует проблемы интеллектуальной археологии текстов советского медиевиста Василия Дорошенко, который начинал академическую карьеру в Московском университете. Политическая динамика советского общества во второй половине 1940-х гг. вынудила его стать участником антисемитской кампании и критиковать своего научного руководителя А.И. Неусыхина. Спустя несколько лет, не сумев интегрироваться в сообщество московских медиевистов, Дорошенко переехал в Латвийскую ССР, где стал одним из ведущих историков-медиевистов. Культура цитирования была уникальным явлением в советской историографии. Автор пытается проанализировать почему В. Дорошенко цитировал одних и игнорировал других советских историков. Автор полагает, что культуры цитирования в контексте интеллектуальной археологии можно воспринимать как формы символических коммуникаций и обмена дарами между советскими медиевистами. Культуры цитирования можно также воспринимать как изобретенные традиции.
В КОРОЛЕВСКОМ АФГАНИСТАНЕ. СТАТЬЯ–ВОСПОМИНАНИЕ
Authors: С.А. Панарин 
Published: November 2024

В тексте, соединяющем признаки научной статьи и мемуарного жанра, автор приводит и анализирует наблюдения, сделанные им в 1970–1971 гг., во время работы в Советско-Афганской археологической экспедиции, в сельской местности Северного Афганистана. Автор мог наблюдать за двумя социальными группами: как за безземельными издольщиками и сельскохозяйственными рабочими, так и за резко различающимися типажами зажиточной верхушки деревни. Наблюдения также касаются облика афганской деревни 1970-х гг. и внешних признаков обнищания ее жителей, конфликта между пуштунами и туркменами, строгой возрастно-половой сегрегации и обусловленных ею способов удовлетворения сексуальных потребностей мужчин.
This text combines the earmarks of academic article and freely unfolding memories. The author had a possibility to make a participant observation during his stay in the Northern Afghanistan as a member of the Soviet-Afghan archaeological expedition. He looked at two social groups; on the one side, for the manners and meager conditions of excavation workers who were landless sharecroppers and agricultural laborers; on the other hand, there were everyday encounters with the representatives of rather prosperous rural elite, who widely differ in their worldview and ways of income earning. The article also touches upon the Afghan village appearance and visible signs of rural poverty, a bloody conflict between the local Pashtuns and Turkmens, very strict segregation of sexes and the issuing modals for satisfaction of male sexual needs.

ABSTRACT

Studies have shown the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in the stool of both symptomatic and asymptomatic COVID-19 patients, enabling wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) to complement clinical monitoring. The emergence of variants can enhance viral transmissibility, highlighting the need for ongoing surveillance to detect and control infectious diseases. This study aimed to detect SARS-CoV-2 variants in wastewater from a treatment plant in San Pedro de la Paz, Chile, between January and November 2021. Wastewater samples were concentrated using the polyethylene glycol method, and RT-qPCR assays were performed to analyze SARS-CoV-2 and its variants (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Lambda, and Delta), with results compared to Illumina amplicon sequencing. The concentration method achieved about 11% viral recovery. The detection of viruses and variants in wastewater proved sensitive and consistent with clinical data, providing additional surveillance insights. Notably, Lambda and Delta variants were the most frequently detected during the second and third infection waves, with some variants identified in wastewater before the first confirmed clinical cases. However, Illumina sequencing lacked sufficient genome coverage, suggesting the need for better sequencing methods for this matrix. This study demonstrates that WBS is a rapid, cost-effective tool for detecting SARS-CoV-2 and its mutations, particularly useful during overwhelming clinical situations or when cost is prohibitively high.
Development and Evaluation of a Mindfulness-Based Mobile Intervention for Perinatal Mental Health: Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Park Sehwan , Cho Hee Young , Park Jin Young , Chung Kyungmi , Jhung Kyungun 
Published: November 2024

Background
Perinatal mental health problems, such as anxiety, stress, and depression, warrant particularly close monitoring and intervention, but they are often unaddressed in both obstetric and psychiatric clinics, with limited accessibility and treatment resources. Mobile health interventions may provide an effective and more accessible solution for addressing perinatal mental health. Development and evaluation of a mobile mental health intervention specifically for pregnant women are warranted.

Objective
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a 4-week, self-administered mobile mindfulness intervention in reducing anxiety, depression, and stress, and improving emotional well-being, maternal-fetal attachment, and mindfulness skills in a general population of pregnant women.

Methods
Pregnant women were recruited and randomized to an intervention or a wait-list control group. The intervention group participated in a self-administered 4-week smartphone-based mindfulness program. Anxiety, depression, and stress were assessed as primary outcomes at baseline and postintervention. Secondary outcomes were mental health well-being, maternal-fetal attachment, and skills of mindfulness. The usability of the mobile intervention was also evaluated.

Results
A total of 133 pregnant women were randomly assigned to the intervention (n=66) or the control group (n=67). The overall dropout rate was 30% (39/133). Anxiety scores of the intervention group significantly decreased from baseline to postintervention (P=.03, Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test), whereas no significant changes were observed in the control group. Depression and stress scores showed no significant changes. Emotional well-being significantly improved in the intervention group (P=.01). Improvements were observed in maternal-fetal attachment, particularly in attributing characteristics to the fetus (P=.003) and in differentiating the self from the fetus (P=.006). Mindfulness awareness also showed significant improvement (P=.008). Significant between-group effects were identified for mindfulness awareness (P=.006) and attributing characteristics to the fetus (P=.002). After applying the false discovery rate corrections, within-group improvements in emotional well-being, maternal-fetal attachment, and mindfulness awareness remained significant, while between-group differences for emotional well-being and differentiation were not significant.

Conclusions
A mobile mindfulness program effectively reduced anxiety and improved emotional well-being, maternal-fetal attachment, and mindfulness awareness in the general population of pregnant women. Mobile interventions may offer a cost-effective and feasible method for promoting perinatal mental health.

Published: November 2024

Background. In recent decades, type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) has become the most prevalent di­sease worldwide. In the coming decades, a large number of people are expected to be affected by this disease, it is spreading rapidly in an epidemic in some countries due to the aging of the population, which will increase the cost for health care providers, especially in countries with poorer health. Microalbuminuria is the earliest stage of progressive kidney damage, the simplest and most reliable predictor for assessing the probability of overt nephropathy in diabetes. The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between duration of diabetes and higher microalbumin secretion. Material and methods. Blood samples were collected after an overnight fast of 10–12 hours, EDTA-Sarstedt tubes were used to collect blood from patients and analyze glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, while blood samples collected in Sarstedt S-monovette tubes were used for serum (to analyze other biochemical parameters). Samples were centrifuged, aliquoted and stored at 4 °C until analysis. The urine sample (24 h urine) was analyzed for microalbumin (immunoturbidimetric method). All analyzes were performed with Roche-Integra 400 Plus equipment at the Polyclinic and Laboratory Alpha in Peja. This prospective study was conducted in the Dukagjin Plain in the Republic of Kosovo. Statistical analysis: data were entered into Microsoft Excel data sheet and analyzed using SPSS version 22 software. Results. The average age of the participants in the study was 48.00 ± 2.34 years (range 26–79) compared to the control group — 41.00 ± 2.65 years (range 20–65), the percentage of women was higher (58.33 %) than men (41.66 %). From the analyzes made between the patients under study and the control group, we obtained high results to a significant degree in these parameters: HbA1c (p < 0.001), triglycerides (p < 0.04), microalbumins (p < 0.001), body mass index (p < 0.03). Conclusions. Increasing levels of microalbuminuria in diabetic patients worldwide and in ours will be an immediate requirement for microalbuminuria tests to be routinely performed in addition to HbA1c by all health institutions for better surveillance of patients in order to prevent the deterioration of their health status.
A Study on Detailed Image Processing of Fractal Characteristics of Irregular Cloud Edges
Authors: Xiao Lin 
Published: November 2024

With the recent development of computer graphics and image processing technology, this paper describes the progress of cloud image generation and processing techniques. Clouds in nature usually have complex and changeable shapes, so accurate and detailed processing of their images has always been an important research topic in computer graphics. First, this paper summarizes the application value of fractal theory in cloud image processing. Next, it presents the fractal generation and edge thinning algorithm as crucial technical components in forming the framework of cloud image detail processing. The fractal generation algorithm uses the fractal geometry principle to simulate the basic shape of the cloud. In contrast, the edge thinning algorithm enhances the realism of the cloud edge by adding small-scale features on the boundary.

Published: November 2024

Graymold is one of devastating fungal disease of castor plants (Ricinus communis L.) caused by Botryotinia ricini. Resistant germplasm is the basic and essential sources to support castor breeding obtaining disease resistant varieties. Objective of this study was to identify castor genotypes resistant to gray mold in peatland agroforestry area in Kepulauan Meranti that naturally infected by graymold fungal pathogen. This is the first report about castor plants cultivated under peat soil. Infected and uninfected castor plants were sampled and analyzed their Resistance Gene Analog (RGA). Results showed that resistant plants expressed diverse phenotype and amplified DNA fragment using RGA primers. The fragments were similar to ABC transporter gene which is one of RGA classes. Additionally, the fragments revealed P-loop NTPase conserved domain. In contrast, all infected plants failed to produced PCR product. The results indicated that uninfected castor plants can be used as source of resistant trait. Their RGA sequences can be analyzed to develop molecular marker for supporting gray mold resistant breeding program.
