Two independent reviewers will screen the studies based on predefined eligibility criteria and extract the data. Any disagreements will be resolved through discussion by a third reviewer. The review will be reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis extension for Scoping Reviews.Strengths and limitations of this studyA stakeholder consultation will provide an opportunity to validate the findings and address any potential gaps in the article.In this scoping review, all types of studies will be considered.The effectiveness of the methodological quality of the included studies will not be reported, which may lead to some studies of poor quality being included.Only studies published in English or Chinese after 2010 will be considered in this review, potentially leading to the omission of relevant papers.
“Our Right to Travel”
Authors: Siegfried Kate 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
In 1952, Paul Robeson and the Canadian Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter workers held a concert at Peace Arch Park on the border of the United States and Canada to protest the State Department's revoking of Robeson's passport for his condemnation of U.S. imperialist foreign policy, racism, and colonialism. Through his entangled use of place-as rhetoric and place-based rhetorics at the concert, Robeson charted a Black internationalist rhetorical cartography. Robeson's cartography contested the existing imperial world-order that is itself configured through Westphalian logics oriented around maintaining and projecting the European balance of power. Robeson's Black internationalist cartography hinges on freedom of movement as a teleology that circumvents imperial constructions of national sovereignty. This Black internationalist cartography offers a vision of a new world detached from imperial and colonial nationhood, ultimately demonstrating how space can be reimagined within contexts of racialized containment.

AbstractThis study investigated the ability of a sarcopenia screening test to predict mortality among cancer inpatients. We conducted a prospective study of patients admitted to the oncology ward of a teaching hospital in southern Taiwan. Over a 5‐month period, 82 patients were enrolled for evaluation and were followed for 3 years. All participants received a comprehensive assessment at the time of admission, including Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, cognitive ability, nutrition index, body mass index, and short physical performance battery (SPPB). Age, ECOG performance status, dementia, SPPB score, and albumin level were associated with sarcopenia. Of the enrolled participants, 53 (64.6%) were diagnosed with sarcopenia. Patients with sarcopenia were associated with worse overall survival (OS) than patients without sarcopenia (28.8% vs. 82%, p = 0.01). Metastasis (hazard ratio [HR]: 5.166; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.358–19.656) and albumin level (HR: 4.346; 95% CI: 1.493–12.654) were independent and significant predictors of OS for the whole study population. Age was a predictor of 2‐year all‐cause mortality among patients aged ≥65 years but not among those aged <65 years (OS: 25.6% vs. 100%, p = 0.04). To summarize, the sarcopenia screening results were found to predict OS and all‐cause mortality and may be helpful for patient stratification during in‐hospital care.

Periods of upheaval and their effect on mediatized ways of life: Changes in media use in the wake of separation, new partnership, children leaving the parental home, and relocation
Authors: Niemand Stephan 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Media use is always embedded in real everyday contexts, which would suggest that a profound change in everyday structure also brings about a change in the media repertoire. To explore the relationship between everyday structure and media use we present selected empirical findings from a qualitative panel study with couples on how they change their media repertoire in the wake of separation, new partnership, children leaving the parental home, and relocation. For analyzing the effects of these periods of upheaval we differentiate the mediatized ways of life into various dimensions: temporal, spatial, content-related, social, meaning-related, material, emotional, and physical. The findings tell us which changes in everyday structure bring about dynamics in the media repertoire, for example, more or less control over time (temporal), distance from family and friends (spatial), or emotional crises (emotional), and which factors are relevant for people when they renegotiate their media use within the new life situation.

“English is the natural language of science”: discourses and ideologies concerning EMI in two Brazilian universities
Authors: Cogo Alessia , Gimenez Telma , Cabrini Calvo Luciana , El Kadri Michele 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
With the introduction of English medium instruction (EMI) as one strategy for the internationalization of universities, more and more lecturers in Brazil choose the option of running their courses in EMI, while higher education courses are normally taught in Portuguese, the official language. In this study, we aim to explore the discourses and ideologies underlying the introduction and choice of EMI in two Brazilian higher education institutions. We conducted interviews with lecturers and focus group discussions with lecturers and students at two state universities in Paraná, Brazil. The results show a tendency to see English as “the natural language of science” which is underpinned by various ideological positions in relation to the role of English in academia, such as monolingual, correctness and native speakerism ideologies. At the same time, the data shows resistance to English from a linguistic justice perspective, and portrays university lecturers as engaging in a balancing act to facilitate inclusion and still offer international opportunities to students in Brazil.
Our gateway is your gatekeeper: benefits and constraints of EMI for different participants in Japanese ELF contexts
Authors: Murata Kumiko , Iino Masakazu 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This paper explores the interconnectedness of gatekeeper and gateway roles the same English-medium instruction (EMI) policy plays for different student populations at different times. The research site is located in an EMI programme at a Japanese university, where, for international students, EMI opens a gateway to the university, Japanese ability not being required at the entry point, whereas the same policy plays a gatekeeping role for Japanese students, a high English proficiency level based on native English speaker (NES) norms being required. However, for international students with plans to work for Japanese companies after graduation, their low Japanese ability starts playing a gatekeeping role for their future career, contrary to the situation at the outset. In contrast, Japanese students, who initially struggle to get used to EMI, after a few years, become empowered by their ability to use English as a lingua franca (ELF), which becomes a gateway to new career opportunities. Thus, the same EMI policy could play opposing roles for different student populations at different times, a gateway turning gatekeeper for one group, while for another, the initial gatekeeper turning gateway after some time. The exploration is mostly based on our interview data with EMI graduates at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Implications for language policy will also be discussed.
From Guilt to Shame: Ecocide Responses East and West
Authors: Wenning Mario 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
The chapter begins with the idea that fostering emotions that acknowledge one's role, whether direct or indirect, in causing harm to the environment can encourage eco-friendly behavior. In Western environmental discussions, guilt is often emphasized, whereas Eastern perspectives lean towards shame when addressing responsibility for environmental damage. While guilt discourse is prevalent, ecoshame remains unexplored in the context of environmental ethics. Hence, the chapter draws on Chinese texts to offer an exploration into the potential of this affect to promote responsible environmental actions. This exploration enables a reevaluation of what it means to live on a planet that experiences ecocide.
Spirituality and Society: A Way to Search for the Common Good
Authors: Sepúlveda del Río Ignacio 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
For most of the twentieth century, spiritual traditions were understood to be a factor in slowing down and retarding the development of societies. Religion and spirituality were associated with traditionalism or conservatism, with maintaining stagnant understandings of society. In the time of post-secularity, the possibility of embracing spiritual traditions to help promote societies’ common good is opening up. The question that arises is how this can be possible and how spiritual traditions can contribute to the common good.
AGOSTINHO CONTRA TITO LÍVIO: PUDOR, ESTUPRO E SUICÍDIO FEMININO
Authors: Ayoub Cristiane Negreiros Abbud 
Published: August 2024

Agostinho discute a violência sexual contra as mulheres no primeiro livro de A Cidade de Deus (De ciuitate Dei). Tendo vivido nos séculos IV e V, o autor se reflete sobre o estupro de três perspectivas: moral, legal e social. Quanto à moral, defende que o estupro não macula a dignidade das vítimas. Quanto à legal, considera o estupro um crime contra a vítima e que esta, além de não merecer culpabilização nem pena, deve ter uma consolatio. No âmbito social, denuncia a mentalidade da época como baseada numa concepção deturpada da pudicitia (oriunda da narrativa de Tito Lívio sobre o estupro de Lucrécia e seu subsequente suicídio). Segundo Agostinho, a pudicícia romana agrava a punição injusta das vítimas com violências ulteriores. Nesses termos, reivindica uma política imperial de proteção e amparo às mulheres violentadas. O estudo desse texto de Agostinho é desenvolvido em quatro fases: breve contexto histórico, o exemplo imperial de pudor feminino (Lucrécia), as consequências desastrosas desse exemplo e, enfim, o posicionamento de Agostinho.

REFLEXÕES SOBRE O PROÊMIO DO DIÁLOGO PARMENIDES DE PLATÃO
Authors: Cruz Estevão Lemos 
Published: August 2024

Nossa investigação propõe a hipótese de que os introitos dos diálogos platônicos não se esgotam enquanto mero recurso dramático para suas respectivas ambientações, mas visam, sobretudo, expor as disposições de espírito necessárias para o fazer filosófico e o método que o põe em movimento. Ante a impossibilidade de recorrer ao exame particular de cada introito, escolhemos Parmenides como diálogo exemplar a ser investigado. Os resultados obtidos apontaram que há, no introito selecionado, uma compreensão do método dialético enquanto condução fortuita, global e paradoxal que leva à rememoração e que, como tal, é acompanhado de uma disposição que se explicita enquanto um fazer-se presente no lugar do encontro e da conversa, deixando-se conduzir corajosamente à rememoração pela ausculta cuidadosa.

Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Binge drinking disparities between sexual and gender minority (SGM) students and their heterosexual, cisgender peers are well-established. Data limitations have precluded understandings of whether the onset and progression of these disparities differ by grade. Additionally, little is known about whether and how SGM-related binge drinking varies across groups of students coincidingly defined by sexual orientation or gender identity (SOGI), race, and ethnicity. In the current study, we used a large, statewide sample of secondary school students in California to describe the prevalence of binge drinking among subgroups of adolescents at the intersections of grade, race and ethnicity, and SOGI.

METHODS
Data were from the 2017–2019 cycle of the California Healthy Kids Survey, one of the largest statewide cross-sectional surveys of secondary school students in the United States (n = 925 744). We described the grade-specific prevalence rates of past 30-day binge drinking by (1) grade level, (2) race and ethnicity, and (3) SOGI. Predicted probabilities estimated adjusted percentages of students’ binge drinking by subgroups.

RESULTS
SGM-related binge drinking differences were present early in secondary school. Several subgroups of SGM adolescents with minoritized racial and ethnic identities reported higher binge drinking rates relative to their same-grade, white, non-SGM peers.

CONCLUSIONS
Prevention and intervention programs must consider developmentally- and culturally-informed strategies to most effectively promote health among minoritized students.
Development of the hardness mathematical model of Ti-alloyed iron for cast parts used in conditions of intensive abrasive friction
Authors: Barsuk Andriy 
Published: August 2024

The object of research is wear-resistant cast iron, intended for cast parts that work under conditions of intense abrasive friction during operation. Examples of such parts can be mixer blades of various functional purposes, the operational properties of which include stability, which depends on the hardness, determined on the HRC scale. To give such cast parts wear-resistant properties, the cast iron from which they are made is alloyed with elements that contribute to the formation of carbides of different composition: W, V, Mo, Ti, etc. The main problem that prevents the purposeful selection of materials is incomplete knowledge about the effect of chemical composition on properties, in particular, wear resistance, which prevents a justified selection criterion.
Using regression analysis methods, a mathematical model was obtained, including a regression equation of the form HRC=f(C; Ceq; Ti), which relates the content of carbon, titanium and carbon equivalent in cast iron and hardness. The resulting model allows for purposeful selection of the chemical composition, which ensures a given value of HRC, on which wear resistance depends. Optimization of the chemical composition, performed according to this model, made it possible to determine that the chemical composition, which provides the maximum hardness of HRC=49, is outside the planning area: C=3.54 %, Ceq=3.95 %, Ti=3.56 %. It was established that the same value of hardness can be obtained inside the considered planning area, which has an arbitrary appearance, provided with available conditions of a passive experiment. According to the available experimental data, the values of the input variables equal to C=3.34 %, Ceq=3.727 %, Ti=0.73 % ensure obtaining hardness at the level of HRC=49. Such alternative options regarding composition and properties may indicate that the HRC=f(C; Ceq; Ti) response surface has a complex appearance that requires additional research.
Determination of the type of arched carbon fiber reinforced fastening of the preparatory opening for the conditions of the «Dniprovska» mine in weakly metamorphized rocks
Authors: Tsivka Yevhenii 
Published: August 2024

The object of study is an arched carbon fiber-reinforced support of constant cross-section in a layered massif of weakly metamorphosed rocks. The article presents an analysis of the possible use of arched fiber-reinforced support of constant cross-section in a layered massif of weakly metamorphosed rocks for the conditions of the «Dniprovska» mine (Ukraine) around the preparatory opening. An analysis of the stability of mine openings in Western Donbas mines has shown that it is necessary to modernize the support system by introducing carbon fiber. The main reason for the low stability of the opening is the insufficient load-bearing capacity of the support, while its technical characteristics do not take into account the complex mining and geological conditions. The increase in stresses at mining depth is associated with impact safety, which is a serious problem during mining. Metal arch supports are deformable and have high rock loads and require a high level of energy absorption, i. e., to be very strong and flexible to withstand significant loads and avoid large displacements of the opening walls.
Carbon fiber-reinforced plastic is able to ensure the stability of the fastening system and eliminate the existing disadvantages of typical metal arch fasteners, namely, high labour intensity, low production speed and high weight of the structure. In this article, the stress-strain state for the specified conditions and the carbon fiber-reinforced plastic arch support of constant cross-section was analyzed using the SolidWorks software product, taking into account the physical and mechanical properties of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic and layered rocks. Taking into account the results of laboratory tests of an equivalent layered array on a press made of PLA and carbon fiber, the dependence of deformations of the equivalent array with increasing load was established.
The use of arched carbon fiber supports of various cross-sections can ensure the opening stability by reducing the intensity of stresses around its contour. On the basis of this study, a rational arched composite support of constant cross-section was proposed for the conditions of the «Dniprovska» mine. The obtained results indicate the need for further research, which will be considered in the author's future works.
Simulation of the work of glass furnaces with the purpose of searching for reserves and increase their efficiency

Published: August 2024

The object of research is the operation of a glass furnace. The work involved modeling the operation of a glass furnace by changing the technical and economic indicators of its operation in order to optimize the technological processes of manufacturing glass products, increase the energy efficiency of the process, and reduce the ecological burden on the environment. Glass furnaces are complex heat engineering units that require a large amount of energy to operate. Therefore, increasing their effectiveness is the main task of our research. In the work, computer modeling of thermal processes in the furnace was carried out, heat balances were calculated and analyzed, and the performance of the furnace was analyzed after changing and improving the technological regimes of combustion processes, glass boiling and furnace construction. Studies have shown that in order to increase the technical and economic performance of glass furnaces, it is advisable to conduct additional thermal insulation of the furnace enclosures. The thermal insulation of the vault increases the efficiency of the furnace by 2–3 %, and the thermal insulation of the remaining areas of the furnace in total allows to increase the efficiency of the heating unit up to 3 %. Such measures improve the sanitary and technical working conditions of the staff in the machine-bath shop. Studies have shown that additional heating of the air used for burning fuel significantly increases the efficiency of the furnace. Thus, an increase in air temperature by 100 °C increases the efficiency of the furnace by approximately 2.5 %. However, such a measure is possible with a corresponding increase in the volume of regenerator nozzles. A significant increase in the efficiency of the furnace was achieved when additional electric heating was installed. This allows to reduce the total energy costs, and at the same time, the introduction of every 10 % of additional electric heating increases the efficiency of the furnace by up to 3 % and improves the quality of the glass mass. Such additional heating can be recommended in the amount of 20–30 % of the total heat consumption for the operation of the furnace. The analysis of the obtained results showed a fairly good convergence of the results, which indicates the acceptable adequacy of the models. The obtained process simulation results allow choosing the optimal design and operation parameters of the glass furnace. The results of the work can be used in practice for the design of efficient glass furnaces of various purposes and performance.
