ABSTRACT.
Acute undifferentiated febrile illness (AUFI) is the main cause of medical attention in the tropics worldwide. Malaria, arboviral diseases, and leptospirosis are the most important etiologies. These are highly endemic in the Urabá antioqueño, Colombia, being the main causes of fever in several municipalities in this region. However, up-to-date data regarding the infecting species and serotypes are lacking. Thus, we characterized the etiology of AUFI, focusing on malaria, arboviruses, and leptospirosis in this region and the circulating infecting species. An active surveillance was conducted between January and April 2022, and July and October 2023 in two local hospitals in the Urabá antioqueño. Febrile patients were enrolled voluntarily. Malaria, arboviral diseases, and leptospirosis were screened through direct, serological, molecular, and rapid diagnostic methods. Amplicons obtained for dengue virus (DENV) and Leptospira spp. were analyzed through phylogenetic analysis. A total of 184 febrile patients were enrolled. A confirmed etiology was detected in 43.4% of patients from Apartadó and 61.2% from Turbo. Malaria was the most frequent cause in both municipalities, which was caused mainly by Plasmodium falciparum in Apartadó and Plasmodium vivax in Turbo. Dengue virus serotype 1 genotype V, DENV genotype Asian-American, and DENV genotype Cosmopolitan were identified, as well as pathogenic Leptospira species closely related to Leptospira santarosai and Leptospira noguchii. The present study confirms the importance of malaria, dengue fever, and leptospirosis in the Urabá antioqueño. Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax were identified, as well as two DENV serotypes and three DENV genotypes and two different Leptospira species.

The Human in the Feedback Loop: Predictive Analytics in Refugee Status Determination
Authors: Kinchin Niamh 
Published: November 2024

Predictive analytics in law describes AI systems that can predict the outcome of legal cases via computational legal reasoning. Predictive analytics in refugee status determination (RSD) has been cautiously employed. However, active research into model development holds significant potential for scalable application. Predictive analytics, traditionally built upon inductive decision-making processes like supervised machine learning and decision trees, risks compromising the abductive reasoning processes that RSD relies upon. Even if models are built to effectively navigate this hurdle, problems with data remain. Insufficient data is an intractable element of forced displacement, which means inaccuracies or uncertainty. The prospective nature of a well-founded fear undermines how algorithms are traditionally trained from historical data. The inability of predictive analytics to measure subjective fear may mean that RSD credibility assessments are pushed to ‘pseudo-scientific’ tools such as lie detectors and emotion recognition technology. Without the ability to remove subjectivity, the training data will capture subjective fear from previous claimants that will inform other case outcomes. Case characteristics that describe an individual case within a dataset and upon which the algorithm is trained must be carefully chosen in consultation with legal experts. Without considering how case characteristics reflect legal standards, they risk subverting hard-fought and won international legal protections. Finally, commonly acknowledged issues of algorithmic bias and harmful feedback loops must not be forgotten. This conversation is crucial for ensuring that the likely implementation of predictive analytics in RSD upholds fairness and established legal standards and, crucially, does not forget the human at its heart.
Błogosławieństwo nowego króla i królowej w Pontificale Plocense I
Authors: Seweryniak Henryk 
Published: November 2024

Ryt pobłogosławienia nowego króla w Pontificale Plocense I jest kompilacją tekstu z połowy X wieku. Być może ten właśnie rytuał stosowano podczas pierwszych koronacji w Polsce. W świetle obrzędu to Bóg jest tym, który udziela władzy, i to On powierza władcy królestwo. Sakralny charakter majestatu królewskiego wzmacniają porównania z postaciami biblijnych królów, proroków i kapłanów, a także odniesienie do samego Jezusa Chrystusa. W obrzędzie wyczuwa się głęboką troskę o zachowanie równowagi pomiędzy wysoką godnością władzy królewskiej a utrzymaniem jej w odpowiednich granicach. Za pośrednictwem Kościoła, przez „pokorną posługę biskupów”, władca otrzymuje koronę i sakrę królewską, która stawia go pośrodku pomiędzy duchowieństwem a ludem. Ponieważ jego władza jest tylko zewnętrzna, jest ona niższa od kapłańskiej (biskupiej). Posługa króla wobec Kościoła i sfery życia duchowego ogranicza się do obrony i ochrony wiary chrześcijańskiej (auctor ac stabilitor christianitatis et christiane fidei) oraz wsparcia administracyjnego i ekonomicznego kościołów oraz klasztorów. O ile biskupi są pasterzami i kierownikami dusz w sprawach wewnętrznych, to władca ma być obrońcą Kościoła oraz rządcą królestwa, danego mu mocą ich błogosławieństwa; o ile biskup jest pośrednikiem między ludem a Bogiem, to król – pośrednikiem między ludem i klerem. W obrzędzie błogosławieństwa królowej wyraźnie podkreśla się, że Bóg, Źródło i Początek wszelkiej dobroci, daleki jest „od potępienia i niechęci wobec kruchości płci niewieściej”.

Authors: Xia Huijuan 
Published: November 2024

Higher education leaders (HEI) are the college directors, deans, department chairpersons, and program coordinators. Over time, the roles and functions of academic administrators have changed significantly. This study investigated the influence of the HEI administrators’ transformational leadership on teachers’ performance in China and contributed to the limited studies on these variables in the context of HEI in China. Guided by the theory of transformational leadership, this study was designed using a quantitative descriptive correlational research approach. Through the participation of 314 HEI faculty, the results revealed that the overall assessment of transformational leadership qualities is evident, but the overall performance of teachers is rated as average. And among the predictors of transformational leadership, only the empowering variable has a positive influence on the assessment of teachers’ performance.

This research evaluated the implementation framework of international educational assistance for foreign students in China, concentrating on access and fairness, infrastructure and resources, policy and governance, sustainability, and monitoring and evaluation. The mixed-methods research encompassed 200 international students from several universities around China. Quantitative data were obtained by structured surveys and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, and qualitative data were acquired through casual interviews. Findings indicated that respondents favorably assessed access and equity, observing diminished educational obstacles. Nevertheless, apprehensions were expressed regarding inequitable budget allocation and inadequate research infrastructure. Policy and governance were perceived as transparent although inconsistent in resource distribution, whereas sustainability garnered moderate evaluations, with students voicing apprehensions over post-graduation assistance. Monitoring and evaluation were assessed as mediocre, indicating a necessity for more regular program assessments. Notable evaluation disparities arose based on the students' characteristics, especially concerning infrastructure and governance. Identified challenges encompassed bureaucratic delays, insufficient transparency, inequitable resource allocation, cultural impediments, and inadequate non-academic assistance. Notwithstanding these problems, the scholarship program favorably influenced students' academic prospects, research competencies, and social connections. Nonetheless, apprehensions over the enduring viability of the assistance were widespread.
