The Inner World of a Suicidal Youth
Authors: Osborne Mildred 
Published: June 2024

Electra is a well-loved, beautiful, highly intelligent teenager. Yet, as is not uncommon, she becomes so depressed she contemplates suicide, considering it for years until she finally takes action. Electra's diary, discovered after her death and presented here by a psychiatrist, reveals her first-person reflections through to her fatal college year, showing how thought distortions are caused and how they chip away at self-esteem and the will to survive. In addition to enlightening professionals and aspiring professionals, this work will empower parents to identify and address growing dimensions in their children's development, and understand the struggles they face. And the end result is that Electra's diary teaches us all a lot about changes that are needed so that we can develop effective suicide prevention and treatment strategies, says author Millie Osborne, M.D.
Suicide is now a public health crisis. It is the third leading cause of death for youths aged 15 to 24, and the fourth leading cause of death for children aged 10 to 14. As author Osborne explains, Existing approaches to preventing youth suicide have had little impact on reducing the number of suicides and suicide attempts across America. By unveiling the private thoughts of a suicidal teenager in this unprecedented book, Osborne hopes that the legacy of Electra will be an understanding of the adolescent mind that will spur more effective means to recognize, treat, and heal those at risk, and so vastly reduce suicide among our youths.

A Mind for Tomorrow
Authors: Stover David , Erdmann Erika 
Published: June 2024

Stover and Erdmann deal with the crises confronting today's world and argue that solutions will come not from new technology nor in retreating to an idealized agrarian past, but by overhauling the beliefs that structure society. They link the dilemmas facing civilization to a fundamental rift running through society—one between religion and the humanities, rooted in subjective experience, and science, which emphasizes objective knowledge. They suggest a promising way of closing this rift found in the work of Nobel Laureate and neuroscientist Roger W. Sperry.
They examine Sperry's lifework, including his famous split- brain research and show how it led him to propose a theory of consciousness that challenged science's dismissal of subjective experience as irrelevant. By seeing consciousness as an emergent, causal property of brain function, Sperry reinstated subjective experience into the scientific worldview, laid the foundation for the cognitive revolution that has since swept through psychology, and created a means by which science can help create ethical systems better able to deal with today's challenges. Stover and Erdmann conclude by looking at ways in which others have built upon Sperry's ideas, and they hold out the hope that, with the creation of belief systems more compatible with science, a way out of humanity's current troubles may indeed be found. The result is an excursion through a world of exciting ideas, and a book sure to absorb anyone interested in the fate of our species—and how that fate might be influenced for the better. Students, researchers, scholars, and concerned citizens particularly interested in cognitive psychology, science and society, and futures studies will find the book intriguing.
Muckraking and Objectivity
Authors: Miraldi Robert 
Published: June 2024

This timely study by a former investigative reporter zeroes in on the role of the journalist in a democratic society. Robert Miraldi explores the relationship between an objective reportorial stance wherein an audience is given verifiable, neutral facts and muckraking, when a reporter crusades on an issue to expose what he or she sees as evil. Including examples of muckraking from newspapers, magazines, and television, the volume traces the history of muckraking journalism and investigative reporting from the turn of the century, when a band of magazine writers were exposing political and business corruption, to the sixties and seventies when television and newspaper reporters continued the tradition of expose journalism. He locates the colliding traditions of journalism in democracy's demand that the press uncover crime and corruption while at the same time requiring that reporters observe the social process more than intrude. The collision between objectivity and expose informs this fact-filled study.
The first chapter recounts Miraldi's experience as a New York City reporter tracking down illegal drug sales and offers an historical overview of muckraking journalism. Chapter Two analyzes the work of Ida Tarbell, David Graham Phillips, Samuel H. Adams, Will Irwin, Ray Stannard Baker, and Charles Edward Russell, six turn-of-the-century muckraking writers who were determined to be both objective reporters and partisan crusaders. The fall of muckraking journalism and its later reappearance with Edward R. Murrow's Harvest of Shame television documentary are the focus of chapters Three and Four. Chapter Five presents a case study of New York Times reporter John L. Hess' expose of New York State's nursing homes. Concluding with a look at factors that interfere with the work of journalists, Dr. Miraldi, in chapter Six, calls for a renewed spirit of activism as journalism enters the nineties. The book closes with a penetrating interview with Fred W. Friendly. This challenging history is must reading for scholars in journalism and mass media, practicing journalists and historians, students and teachers in college-level journalism and mass media courses, theory classes such as Press History and Mass Media in Society, as well as newswriting courses at all levels.

Stochastic Models for Cyber Attack Detection and Response: A Mathematical Approach to Intrusion Detection Systems
Authors: Rohit Krishna Murti  
Published: June 2024

Cyberattacks are a big problem in today's world because everything is linked online. They can damage the security, privacy, and access of private information. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are very important for keeping networks safe because they quickly find and stop harmful activity. To successfully find and stop attacks, however, we need more advanced methods because online risks are always changing. This paper suggests a new mathematical approach for improving IDS that is based on random models. Traditional ways of finding intrusions often use signature- or anomaly-based methods, which might not be able to keep up with how attackers' strategies change all the time. By using random processes, our method provides a more flexible and adaptable way to find online threats. IDS can tell the difference between normal network traffic and hostile activities because stochastic models use a statistical framework to capture the uncertainty that comes with cyberattack behaviors. We use methods from probability theory, Markov chains, and queue theory to make models of how network traffic and possible cyberattacks might behave. Our random models can find differences that could mean someone is doing something bad by looking at the statistical features of different network factors, like the rate at which packets arrive, the length of a link, and the size of the payloads. Using Markov models, the IDS can also guess how likely it is that an attack will happen in the future based on past data, which helps with strategic strategies for reducing threats. Along with monitoring, our system includes ways to respond to cyberattacks and lessen their effects. By using stochastic optimization methods, we can change how resources are used and how reactions are prioritized based on how likely and how bad the threats are to be. This flexible method makes the network infrastructure more resistant to complex attack routes, which lowers the damage and downtime that can happen during cyber events. We show that our stochastic models can improve the performance of IDS in real-world situations by analyzing them theoretically and running simulations. Adopting a scientific approach to cyber security makes it possible for stronger and smarter defenses against cyber risks that are always changing.
LA RISCOPERTA DE’ L’ORTOGRAFIA ITALIANA ET ALTRE OSSERVATIONI DELLA LINGUA DI ALTOBELLO GAGLIARO (1631)
Authors: De Leo Viviana 
Published: June 2024

Nell’ottica del più ambizioso progetto di riscoperta delle opere grammaticali del Seicento, trascurate dalla moderna letteratura scientifica, si inserisce il presente contributo, dedicato all’Ortografia italiana et altre osservationi della lingua di Altobello Gagliaro (1631). Oltre allo studio di una grammatica dimenticata e, quindi, alla ricostruzione della storia dell’opera e alla descrizione dei contenuti, l’articolo si propone di evidenziare alcune non trascurabili riflessioni di natura sintattica con cui l’autore, sovente, costella la riflessione metalinguistica. La sicura distinzione tra i concetti di periodo e membro, la frequenza con cui fa ricorso alle nozioni di dipendenza e reggenza, l’abbozzo di una rudimentale analisi del periodo e altre intuizioni, assieme all’impiego di una precisa terminologia tecnica, rendono l’opera meritevole di attenzione, permettendo di descrivere e conoscere un autore che sentì il bisogno di supportare le asserzioni sulla lingua con l’analisi di unità maggiori alla parola e che produsse riflessioni puntuali che testimoniano il perfezionamento teorico di quanto già acquisito nel secolo precedente.

The rediscovery of L'ortografia italiana et altre osservationi della lingua by Altobello Gagliaro (1631)

The present contribution, dedicated to Altobello Gagliaro’s Ortografia italiana et altre osservationi della lingua (1631), is part of the more ambitious project of rediscovering grammatical works of the 17th century that have been neglected by modern scholarly literature. In addition to the study of a forgotten grammar and, therefore, the reconstruction of the work’s history and the description of its contents, the article aims to highlight some not-inconsiderable reflections of a syntactic nature with which the author often punctuates his metalinguistic reflections. The clear distinction between the concepts of periodo and membro, the frequency with which he makes use of the notions of dependency and regency, the outline of a rudimentary analysis of propositions and other intuitions, together with the use of precise technical terminology, make the work worthy of attention, allowing us to describe and get to know an author who needed to support his assertions on language with the analysis of units greater than a single word and who produced precise reflections that bear witness to the theoretical refinement of what he had already acquired in the previous century.
LE METAMORFOSI DA DESCO. PRIMI SONDAGGI SULLA LINGUA DELL’ORDINE DE LE IMBANDISONE (1489)
Authors: Felicani Elena 
Published: June 2024

Nell’Italia delle corti, dove le occasioni di banchetto costituiscono la più alta espressione del benessere economico e della potenza politica dei signori, le feste nunziali sono pensate come momenti conviviali e celebrativi, ma al contempo sono volute per rinnovare equilibri interni in funzione della pace sociale. Frequenti in queste occasioni sono le rappresentazioni sceniche, durante le quali gli invitati assistono a un vero e proprio spettacolo, accompagnato solitamente da letture, mimi e musica; in genere la messa in scena è sostenuta da un testo, spesso opera di un poeta di corte. L’articolo offre una prima indagine, storica e linguistica, dell’Ordine de le imbandisone, “poemetto” in versi di patina settentrionale, pensato per accompagnare la festa di nozze organizzata a Tortona, il 25 gennaio 1489, in occasione del matrimonio di Isabella d’Aragona e Gian Galeazzo Sforza. L’analisi sulla lingua, che si anticipa in questa sede e che verrà poi ampliata in uno studio successivo, permette di riflettere sulla «policromia espressiva» del poemetto, che da un lato prende forma nell’impiego di una lingua illustre e nel recupero di tessere dantesche e petrarchesche, dall’altro si profila nella selezione di tratti lombardi e latamente settentrionali, che a quest’altezza cronologica sono testimonianza della volontà di dichiarare un’appartenenza, preservando gli elementi locali, distintivi e identitari, depurate le forme più esplicitamente municipali.

Metamorphosis at the banquet. First linguistic reflections on the Ordine de le imbandisone (1489)

In the Italy of the courts, where banqueting occasions constitute the highest expression of the economic well-being and political power of the lords, nuptial feasts are thought of as convivial and celebratory moments, but at the same time they are desired to renew internal balances in function of social peace. Frequent on these occasions are stage performances, during which guests witness a real show, usually accompanied by readings, mimes and music; usually the staging is supported by a text, often the work of a court poet. The article offers an initial survey, both historical and linguistic, of the Ordine de le imbandisone, a “poem” in verse with a northern patina, designed to accompany the wedding feast organized in Tortona on January 25, 1489, for the marriage of Isabella of Aragon and Gian Galeazzo Sforza. The analysis on the language, which is anticipated here and will be expanded in a later study, allows us to reflect on the “expressive polychromy” of the poem, which on the one hand takes shape in the use of an illustrious language and in the recovery of Dantean and Petrarchan tesserae, and on the other is profiled in the selection of Lombard and languidly northern features, which at this chronological height are evidence of the desire to declare a belonging, preserving local, distinctive and identity-based elements, purified of more explicitly municipal forms.

BACKGROUND
QTc interval prolongation with an increased risk of torsade de pointes (Tsd) has been described in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients treated with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and azithromycin (AZI) in Western countries. In the DR Congo, few studies have evaluated the safety of this association or proposed new molecules.
AIM
To determine the incidence of QTc prolongation and Tsd in COVID-19 patients treated with HCQ-AZIs vs doubase C (new molecule).
METHODS
In present randomized clinical trial, we have included patients with mild or moderate COVID-19 treated with either HCQ-AZI or doubase C. Electrocardiogram (ECG) changes on day 14 of randomization were determined based on pretreatment tracing. Prolonged QTc was defined as ≥ 500 ms on day 14 or an increase of ≥ 80 ms compared to pretreatment tracing. Patients with cardiac disease, those undergoing other treatments likely to prolong QTc, and those with disturbed ECG tracings were excluded from the study.
RESULTS
The study included 258 patients (mean age 41 ± 15 years; 52% men; 3.4% diabetics, 11.1% hypertensive). Mild and moderate COVID-19 were found in 93.5% and 6.5% of patients, respectively. At baseline, all patients had normal sinus rhythm, a mean heart rate 78 ± 13/min, mean PR space 170 ± 28 ms, mean QRS 76 ± 13 ms, and mean QTc 405 ± 30 ms. No complaints suggesting cardiac involvement were reported during or after treatment. Only four patients (1.5%) experienced QTc interval prolongation beyond 500 ms. Similarly, only five patients (1.9%) had an increase in the QTc interval of more than 80 ms. QTc prolongation was more significant in younger patients, those with high viral load at baseline, and those receiving HCQ-AZI (P < 0.05). None of the patients developed Tsd.
CONCLUSION
QTc prolongation without Tsd was observed at a lower frequency in patients treated with HCQ-AZI vs doubase C. The absence of comorbidities and concurrent use of other products that are likely to cause arrhythmia may explain our results.

Published: June 2024

Dalam islam mu’amalah ialah suatu aturan yang diciptakan oleh Allah SWT untuk mengatur hubungan manusia dengan makhluk lain dalam kehidupan ini, agar semua kebutuhan dan keinginannya terpenuhi dengan sebaik-baiknya. Dalam lingkungan pondok pun terjadi kegiatan mu’amalah selain praktik belajar mengajar. Tujuan penelitian ini ialah untuk mengetahui bagaimanakah praktik penitipan barang yang dijual belikan dengan sistem titip dan bagaimanakah perspektif hukum ekonomi syariah dengan praktik penitipan barang yang dijual belikan. Dalam penelitian ini penulis menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif, yang bersifat deskriptif, interpretatif, atau eksploratif. Dengan teknik pengumpulan data berupa observasi dan wawancara. Berdasarkan penelitian, didapatkan hasil bahwa hukum ekonomi dan Islam memperbolehkan pengambilan keuntungan dengan syarat adanya kesepakatan dari kedua belah pihak. Praktik penitipan barang dagangan kepada wadi’ (penitip) dianggap sah dalam Islam dan hukum ekonomi syariah, asalkan ada kesepakatan yang jelas antara pihak-pihak yang terlibat. Para ulama pakar fiqih juga menganggap praktik ini sebagai hal yang diperbolehkan bahkan disunnahkan karena dianggap sebagai bentuk saling tolong-menolong antar manusia.
