Abstract

Aim. The aim of the study was to analyse the level of cultural intelligence and multicultural personality profile of novice nurses in Poland in the context of the increase of migration and refugee crises.

Material and methods. A cross-sectional study of 234 novice nurses working in clinical, district or city hospitals was conducted. The Polish version of the Cultural Intelligence Scale and the Multicultural Personality Questionnaire were used. Statistica™ 13.3 software was used for analysis.

Results. The results indicate a moderate level of cultural intelligence and diversity in the levels of intensity of the multicultural personality traits. The highest levels were found in cultural empathy. A positive correlation was found between cultural intelligence and multicultural personality. The global dimension of cultural intelligence and its four domains were found to be related to three multicultural personality traits – cultural sensitivity, social initiative and open-mindedness.

Conclusions. The study highlights the importance of cultural competence in healthcare and the need to strengthen it among novice nurses, especially amidst contemporary social changes and challenges associated with migration. The implementation of systematic training programmes aimed at increasing cultural competence among nurses is recommended to enhance and develop these skills.

Published: June 2024

Abstract
Pipeline transport is proven to be an efficient method for conveying fluids over long distances, offering benefits such as continuous transport, significant volume capacity, lower energy costs, and substantial environmental advantages. Damage to pipelines could have detrimental effects on the economy, the environment, and pose health and safety risks for the population. The safety issues associated with pipes garner considerable attention in both scientific research and industry. The focus of the current study is on the dynamic stability of a straight fluid-conveying pipe with an elastic support. The investigation is based on the Euler-beam model and involves the use of Laplace and Fourier transformations. The paper draws attention to the stability of inclined pipes, as they haven’t received much attention.

Authors: Malashchenko Volodymyr , Protasov Roman , Lanets Olena , Lysiak Bohdan 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
A comparative analysis of well-known literary sources has been conducted to identify and summarize the main shortcomings of existing freewheel ball clutches used in bicycles. The need to improve the operational characteristics of existing clutches in order to completely eliminate ball slippage during transitional modes of operation has been convincingly demonstrated. This is due to the fact that they transmit torque through the frictional forces between the jammed balls and the working surfaces of the semi-clutches.

Anticipating Aesthetic Transformations in the Face of Climate Change
Authors: Alcaráz León María José 
Published: June 2024

Recently, within the field of Environmental Aesthetics, there has been some attention paid to how taking into consideration the environmental impact of Global Climate Change (GCC) generates new problems and issues. Among different questions that Environmental Aesthetics needs to face under the impact of GCC, we can distinguish, at least methodologically, those which address the impact of GCC in the aesthetic experience of the environment we currently inhabit and those concerned with the possible aesthetic character that future environments might possess as a result of GCC. In this article, I would like to focus on how to characterize the possible impact that the awareness of GCC may have on the aesthetic experience of current environments. In particular, I would like to clarify this issue by exploring the roles that knowledge, forward-looking emotions, and imagination play in this experience.

شهد المجتمع العربي بعد انتهاء الحرب العالمية الأولى ظهور العديد من الجمعيات والنوادي وغيرها من التنظيمات السياسية والاجتماعية الاخرى ، وقد امتد ذلك التأثير ليشمل معظم البلدان العربية بما فيها العراق اذ تصدرت النسوة فيه ولاسيما المرأة البغدادية لتأسيس مثل هكذا جمعيات ونوادي اجتماعية وثقافية اسوة بأقرانها في ارجاء الوطن العربي ، وقد اظهر ذلك الامر مشاركة المرأة بميدان جديد لم تكن قد جربته سابقاً ، ان ما كتب عن هذه الجمعية قليل جداً ولا يكاد يذكر الا في بعض المقالات التي نشرت بصورة قليلة جداً ، لذلك سيتم عرض الموضوع بناءً على ما توفر من معلومات عنها . ومن هذا المنطلق نود ان نبين ان ما سنقدمه عبارة عن محطات تاريخية لأبرز موافق الجمعية وليس سرداً تاريخياً مفصلا .
توصلت الدراسة الى ابرز النتائج :

كان للحرمان الذي طبق على المرأة العراقية ومنعها من المشاركة في الحياة العامة اثناء السيطرة العثمانية اثره في ابعادها عن اظهار مواهبها ودورها في بناء المجتمع ومشاركة الرجل في اعماله .
نجحت المرأة العراقية ولاسيما البغدادية في اثبات قدرتها على مواجهة المصاعب وايجاد الحلول لها وفرض نفسها على الواقع الذي طالما حاول استبعادها من المشهد العام في البلاد.

The Rhetoric of Female Senescence: A Gynocritical Reading of Selected Poems
Authors: Al Douri Arwa Hussein , Al-Doory Awfa Hussein 
Published: June 2024

Drawing on the social pattern of aged women and the factors that contribute to their restricted roles and consequently Otherness, this research examines the discourse of female senescence, a process that biologically indicates the gradual deterioration of functional characteristics in living organisms. Employing gynocritical criticism, the research examines the literary representation of old-age women in selected poems written by women who test the lived experience of growing old and the challenge it offers to individualistic conceptions of selfhood. The research argues that the examined poems implicitly highlight certain perspectives on aging such as social withdrawal, involvement, and social clock, so as to explain how old women might deal with later life experiences. The study further argues that the strategy of literary representation in the examined poems can be seen as a means through which women writers are engaged in an intellectual battle speaking for old women's subjectivity against entrenched ageist beliefs. According to this context, the research aims to answer the question of how female poets can work toward denaturalizing the social pattern of old-age women by presenting unstereotypical poetic representation. The significance of the study springs from the less attention feminist criticism pays to old-age women's literature aiming at debasing the stereotypical models of female senescence.
Fashion and Feminism: A Theoretical and Historical Background
Authors: Jamal Fatima Salah , Mohammed Awfa Hussein 
Published: June 2024

The study explores the relationship between fashion and feminism. Throughout history, fashion has been considered as a mechanism of oppression, focusing on the historical role of restrictive garments such as corsets in the objectification of women due to patriarchal influence and societal norms. In the context of corsetry, the paper traces the origins of these garments and their role in physically and metaphorically constraining women to fit into the narrow and idealized standards of beauty dictated by patriarchal societies. It delves into how these oppressive clothing items have been portrayed in literary texts, highlighting the struggles of female protagonists against societal constraints. The study further examines how the feminist movement has actively challenged and rejected these restrictive garments, defying norms and advocating for women's autonomy in clothing choices. The analysis of literary works from various eras reveals how authors have captured and critiqued the oppressive nature of these garments, exposing the damaging effects on women's physical well-being. The study further explores the performative aspects of fashion within the context of patriarchy, drawing upon Judith Butler's theory of performativity to critically analyze the ways in which gender is constructed and reinforced through clothing. The study then delves into the contemporary portrayal of clothing as a means of empowerment and autonomy for women, with focus on chick lit genre. It discusses how authors within this genre have utilized fashion as a form of self-expression, empowerment, and agency.
The Language of Football: A Critical Discourse Analysis of the FIFA World Cup 2022 Social Media Coverage
Authors: Ghaffori Ayhan A. 
Published: June 2024

Sports events are global phenomena around the world. Football is the most common and effective language when it comes to sports. Each language has its own set of tools to achieve ends. The year 2022 witnessed a distinguished sporting event on Arab lands in the area of the Middle East, the FIFA World Cup. It was the most prominent, important and widely debated event. Qatar hosted the World Championship. It is the first version of the World Cup to be held in a Muslim country in the Middle East, which made it surrounded by a lot of arguments over a number of issues since the announcement of Doha hosting the tournament in 2010. Though the World Cup was held before in controversial countries such as Russia, particularly, regarding its human rights record and stance on LGBT issues, however, no previous tournament has been as controversial as this one. Social media, newspapers and TV channels covered the event with different reactions from one side and contradictory ones from the other. This study uses critical discourse analysis to show how international media entities portrayed the FIFA World Cup version of 2022 hosted by Qatar. The main aim of the study is to understand how the specific characteristics of social, political, and religious issues impact the media discourse and influence the portrayal of the host country. The study also aims at clarifying the most common ideologies that the Western media has presented about the Middle East and the Arab Muslim world. To fulfill the above aims, the study hypothesizes that (i) Western media has presented Qatar World Cup 2022 as a negative version, and (ii) the negative ideologies about the Arab Muslims countries are employed rather directly in different ways. The data are collected from the YOUTUBE channel of BBC NEWS. The data are analyzed linguistically and ideologically within Van Dijk's (1995, 2011) approaches. The study concludes that: (i) the Arab Muslim world is presented as a place suppressing differences, restricting freedoms and gaging mouths in regard to human rights. (ii) the Arab Muslim world is presented as the other whose values and religious ideologies are de-emphasized throughout the negative representations and strategies used in the data under analysis . The politicization of social media to drop the tournament held in Qatar was among the priorities of the Western media to boycott the tournament.
Control of sperm quality in the epididymis by disintegration and removal – A transmission electron microscopy study of abnormal sperm of aflatoxin-treated rat
Authors: Faisal Kunnathodi , Akbarsha Mohammad Abdulkader 
Published: June 2024

Objectives:
The mammalian epididymis is a dynamic organ endowed with diverse roles, including sperm quality control, which appears to occur during the epididymal processing and storage to prevent the misshapen spermatozoa from being present in the ejaculate in large numbers. This quality control mechanism is capable of identifying and removing dead/defective spermatozoa. In this respect, the role of a dense matrix arising from epididymal secretory aposomes/epididymosomes and associated disintegration/dissolution of dead/defective spermatozoa has been reported. This study was conceived to find if the mechanistic details of the disintegration of the parts of the spermatozoa along the length encompass the same or different patterns.

Material and Methods:
We used photomicrographs from the experimental rat model induced into defective/unviable spermatozoa by aflatoxin B1 treatment.

Results:
A meticulous screening of the matrix-embedded spermatozoa reflected different courses of disintegration of the major parts, namely, head, mid-piece, and flagellum. The disintegration of the head began with swelling of the acrosome and its lysis, followed by the gradual disintegration of the nucleus. In the mid-piece, the plasma membrane underwent disintegration first, and this was followed by disorganization and disintegration of the mitochondrial sheath and, subsequently, the outer dense fibers (ODFs). In the flagellum, neither the plasma membrane nor the fibrous sheath (FS) indicated any trace of disintegration initially. Rather, the FS and the plasma membrane were lifted off from the ODF-axoneme complex and, subsequently, with the FS remaining intact, the ODFs and the axonemal doublets on one side disintegrated, followed by disintegration of the remaining ODFs and the axonemal doublets.

Conclusion:
In the disintegration process, the spermatozoa’s head, mid-piece, and flagellum follow different courses, reflecting on the respective structural compositions.
Rehabilitation Following ACL Repair with Internal Brace Ligament Augmentation in Female Gymnast: A Resident’s Case Report
Authors: Haack Colten , Zeppieri Giorgio , Moser Micheal W 
Published: June 2024

Introduction Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries continue to be a major source of morbidity in gymnastics. The gold standard is to perform an ACL Reconstruction (ACLR). However, injuries to the proximal femoral attachment of the ACL have demonstrated an ability to regenerate. An alternative surgical intervention to the ACLR in this ACL tear subgroup is an ACL repair. The purpose of this case report is to provide a rehabilitation progression for a female gymnast after an ACL repair with Internal Brace Ligament Augmentation (IBLA). Case Description The subject was a 16-year-old female who presented with a Sherman Type 1 proximal avulsion of her ACL. She underwent an ACL repair with IBLA. Physical therapy interventions followed a sequential and multi-phased approach based on time for tissue physiologic healing and individual progression. Patient reported outcomes including the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), the Anterior Cruciate Ligament Return to Sport After Injury (ACL-RSI) and the Optimal Screening for Prediction of Referral and Outcome Yellow Flag (OSPRO-YF) were assessed in conjunction with isokinetic strength and hop performance testing to determine return to sport readiness. Outcomes The subject completed 42 sessions over the course of 26 weeks in addition to a home exercise program. At return to sport, clinically meaningful improvement was observed in patient reported outcomes including the IKDC, ACL-RSI, and OSPRO-YF. Additionally, strength and hop performance surpassed established thresholds of clinical significance. The subject returned to sport at six months post-operatively. Conclusion The subject in this case report returned to full participation in gymnastics six months after an ACL repair with internal bracing following a sequential and multi-phased rehabilitation. The primary ACL repair with IBLA appeared beneficial to this patient and could benefit from additional study in other athletes and athletic populations. Level of Evidence Level 5
