Thresholds of In/Visibility and the Scopic Power of Literature
Authors: Král Françoise 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
In recent years the trope of invisibility has emerged as a critical concept in the humanities; initially associated with the issue of racial invisibility, it has been applied to all forms of marginalisation, be they racial, social, or political. Today, the context of hypervisibility, which results from intensive media coverage of certain events, has made discussing invisibility paradoxical. This article seeks to reassess invisibility as a key concept in the humanities and discusses the scopic power of literature to make the unseen visible. This will be approached via discussion of contemporary narratives dealing with disappearance and loss, with a particular focus on the literature of the middle passage.
The Poetics of (Un)Mournability: Emma Donoghue’s Hood (1995) as an Elegy in Invisible Ink
Authors: Lecomte Héloïse 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Emma Donoghue’s Hood is an Irish tale of closeted lesbian love in which the narrator cannot mourn the death of her partner publicly because of the compulsory social invisibility of their relationship. While in her monograph Frames of War: When is Life Grievable? Judith Butler correlates the (un)grievability of certain lives (their ability to be grieved over) with ethical frames of perception, this paper focuses on the invisibilisation of public mourning. Since the term “mourning” is often used to evoke public displays and rituals of grief, I propose to confront Butler’s concept of “(un)grievability” with what I call “(un)mournability,” in order to investigate the three metaphors of (in)visibility that shape the aesthetics of Donoghue’s contemporary narrative elegy. The images of the closet, the hood, and the invisible ink, which are instrumental to Donoghue’s narrative strategies of linguistic invisibility, map out the evolving representation of lesbian invisibility in the novel.
Becoming (In)Visible: Self-Assertion and Disappearance of the Self in Contemporary Surveillance Narratives
Authors: Wasihun Betiel 
Published: March 2024

AbstractVisible surveillance technologies are vanishing in the wake of dataveillance. The practice of surveillance is certainly not disappearing, but it has become inconspicuous. In a regime of invisible surveillance, the watchers and the watched alike are hard to identify, for the latter have also become socially invisible as human beings. I argue that the idea ofbecoming invisiblein both digital and pre-digital surveillance societies is multifaceted. On the one hand, it suggests total deprivation of personal autonomy as a result of overexposure resulting in the disappearance of the subject and, on the other hand, it implies a possibility of resistance and self-assertion. Self-exposure is taken to extremes in Dave Eggers’s dystopian novelThe Circle(2013) where the protagonist becomes the centre of attention in a “viewer society” (Mathiesen 1997) and “goes transparent” (Eggers 2013, 351). In contrast, Wolfgang Hilbig’s Stasi novel“Ich”(1993) works with different notions of invisibility. Recruited to spy for the Stasi, Hilbig’s protagonist – an unsuccessful poet – is at the same time targeted by East Germany’s secret police and wants to become invisible, hiding from the omnipresent Stasi surveillance in Berlin’s maze-like cellar corridors in an attempt of self-assertion. The comparison of these novels will elucidate how different discourses on (in)visibility and transparency contribute to an account of subjectivity that attempts to resist surveillance.
‘Perced to the Roote’: Refugee Tales and the Poetics of In/Visibility
Authors: Baumbach Sibylle 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
In their aim to give a voice to those that are unheard and unseen in society, to refugees and detainees, Refugee Tales aim at countering practices of invisibilisation, especially in connection with UK immigration politics. While this might suggest a focus on narrative as a tool for communicating the untold, Refugee Tales I–IV (2016–2021) exceed this important, yet unsurprising role of narrative by unfolding the ‘making’ of invisibility. This is suggested, for instance, by the politics of adaptation and the in/visible intertext The Canterbury Tales, or by the (productive) paradox that most tales are in fact ‘translations’ penned by renowned writers, such as David Herd, Patience Agbabi, or Ali Smith. This article explores the poetics of invisibility in Refugee Tales by examining their specific (attentional) design. As I argue, these tales draw on tensions of in/visibility to unveil key instances of inattentional blindness in literature, culture, and society, challenging the relation between the seen and the unseen, between what is considered visible or invisible.
Arsa Payı Karşılığı İnşaat Sözleşmesinde Nama İfanın Koşulları
Authors: KORKUSUZ Sümeyye Tuba 
Published: March 2024

Arsa payı karşılığı inşaat sözleşmesi kapsamında yüklenicinin; yapıyı sözleşmeye aykırı veya ayıplı inşa etmesi ile yarım bırakarak ortadan kaybolması oldukça yaygın bir durumdur. Bu gibi durumlarda arsa sahipleri, 6098 sayılı Türk Borçlar Kanunu’nun (TBK) 113/1 ile 473/2 hükümlerinde düzenlenen “nama ifaya” başvurabilir. Bu hükümlerin yanı sıra taraflar, mahkeme izni olmaksızın aralarında anlaşarak doğrudan nama ifayı uygulayabilir.
Nama ifaya başvurulurken bulunması gereken bazı maddi koşullar, TBK m. 113/1 ile TBK m. 473/2 için ortaktır. Genel hüküm niteliğindeki TBK m. 113/1 izne tâbi tutulmuşken özel hüküm niteliğindeki TBK m. 473/2, yükleniciye uygun süre verilip ihtar çekilerek uygulanabilir. Ancak uygulamada arsa sahipleri, TBK m. 473/2’deki maddi koşullar sağlansa dahi izlenmesi gereken usûl bakımından ileride çıkabilecek uyuşmazlıklar sebebiyle TBK m. 113/1 hükmünü tercih etmektedir. Çalışmamızda, arsa payı karşılığı inşaat sözleşmesinde hangi koşullarda nama ifaya başvurulabileceği ve uyulması gereken usûl incelenmiştir.
Knowledge Transfer as a Driver of Innovative Performance of SMEs in Lagos State
Authors: Olayemi Olufemi , Akinsanya Damilola 
Published: March 2024

Purpose: The ability to disseminate knowledge in the presence of innovation and capability in businesses creates an advantage over other businesses. Most SMEs do not implement formal tools to protect and share needed knowledge, which makes knowledge transfer difficult.
Design/Method/Approach: Quantitative research was adopted. With over eleven (11) thousand registered SMEs in Lagos State and using Yamane’s formula, a total of 386 respondents formed the sample size for this study.
Findings: The study established a positive significance of social networking, mentorship and research and development for innovation performance. However, training revealed no impact on innovation performance which further established that most SMEs operators in Nigeria usually improve business skills through apprenticeship instead of an organized training to transfer knowledge.
Theoretical Implications: The absorptive capacity theory was adopted to explain the importance of enriching organizational learning by the acquisition of diverse knowledge from different sources to enhance capabilities. It also depicts the impact of technological innovation performance through general abilities of an individual.
Practical Implications: The study emphasized that the survival and competitiveness of any business entity in an evolving global environment is dependent on its implementation of continuous innovative improvements through knowledge transfer, but of all knowledge transfer methods, training is the least used method by business owners.
Originality/Value: This paper assesses the significance of knowledge transfer as a driver of innovation performance in Nigerian SMEs using such methods as training, mentorship, research and development and social networking employed by SMEs.
Research Limitations/Future Research: One major limitation to the study was the inability and unwillingness of SMEs owners and managers to fill in a questionnaire.

Published: March 2024

AbstractBackgroundAn imbalance between model-based and model-free decision-making systems is a common feature in addictive disorders. However, little is known about whether similar decision-making deficits appear in internet gaming disorder (IGD). This study compared neurocognitive features associated with model-based and model-free systems in IGD and alcohol use disorder (AUD).MethodParticipants diagnosed with IGD (n = 22) and AUD (n = 22), and healthy controls (n = 30) performed the two-stage task inside the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner. We used computational modeling and hierarchical Bayesian analysis to provide a mechanistic account of their choice behavior. Then, we performed a model-based fMRI analysis and functional connectivity analysis to identify neural correlates of the decision-making processes in each group.ResultsThe computational modeling results showed similar levels of model-based behavior in the IGD and AUD groups. However, we observed distinct neural correlates of the model-based reward prediction error (RPE) between the two groups. The IGD group exhibited insula-specific activation associated with model-based RPE, while the AUD group showed prefrontal activation, particularly in the orbitofrontal cortex and superior frontal gyrus. Furthermore, individuals with IGD demonstrated hyper-connectivity between the insula and brain regions in the salience network in the context of model-based RPE.Discussion and ConclusionsThe findings suggest potential differences in the neurobiological mechanisms underlying model-based behavior in IGD and AUD, albeit shared cognitive features observed in computational modeling analysis. As the first neuroimaging study to compare IGD and AUD in terms of the model-based system, this study provides novel insights into distinct decision-making processes in IGD.

Published: March 2024

AbstractBackground and objectivesWork addiction (WA), characterized by dimensions such as overcommitment, difficulties in detachment from work, and work-life imbalance, is presumed to be associated with increased smartphone usage, even during risky activities like driving. The study investigated the connection between WA and future problematic and hazardous smartphone use, considering personality factors: anxiety, rumination, and worry.MethodsA three-wave longitudinal study (N = 1,866) was conducted from March to July 2019, June to September 2020, and June to November 2021, involving a representative sample of 18-34-year-old residents in Hungary's capital. The study employed Hungarian versions of the Bergen Work Addiction Scale, Problematic Mobile Phone Use Questionnaire, Ruminative Response Scale, Anxiety subscale of the Brief Symptom Inventory 18, and Penn-State Worry Questionnaire. Additionally, author-developed questions on mobile phone use while driving were included.ResultsAt baseline, those at risk for WA showed more frequent mobile phone use while driving at both time points 2 and 3 compared to the non-risk group. Path analyses revealed rumination, anxiety at time 1, and worry at time 2 as significant mediators between baseline WA and mobile phone use while driving at time 3. However, when analyzing all three mediators together, only anxiety at time 1 and worry at time 2 remained significant.Discussion and conclusionThis study demonstrates that WA predicts future mobile phone use while driving through mediation by anxiety and worry. Our findings add to the growing evidence highlighting the detrimental aspects of WA, emphasizing the need for improved prevention and treatment strategies.

Published: March 2024

В нижеследующей статье рассматривается роман Шио Арагвиспирели «Разбитое сердце», его жанровая специфика, художественный синтез сказочных и литературных форм, соотношение любви и искусства, прозаические пассажи, эпизоды и художественное пространство, отображенные в сказочном аспекте.
Рассмотрен писательский стиль, художественно-психологический нарратив автора в романе, оригинальность прорисовки персонажей, зафиксирован их характер, настроение и образная интерпретация эмоций. Охарактеризованы созданные этим методом сказочные, реалистические и романтические образы, их визуальный и духовный мир.
Проанализированы художественная символика музыкального колокольчика, созданного Махаре Окромчедели и его художественная функция от развития сюжета романа до его финала, показаны идейные, сказочные и фантастические тенденции произведения.
Изучена структура романа, он композиционно своеобразен по вошедшим в него нескольким басням. Сказка «о гусином пастухе», басня, рассказанная пастухами в лесу и другие представляют собой самостоятельные новеллы. Семь глав романа связаны между собой одной основной идеей – любовью Етери и Махаре. Здесь в полной мере проявился высокий уровень художественного нарратива Шио Арагвиспирели, которого раньше мы знали как большого мастера словесного искусства малых форм.
Изображенное в произведении художественное пространство – это в общем страна с королем. Время соответственно феодальная эпоха. Но век и годы в романе не определены, писатель это не конкретизирует, поскольку для сказки это не обязательно.

Introduction. Initially discovered as a mechanism to protect host neutrophils from pathogens and prevent spread of infection outside inflammatory site, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have been implicated in progression of other diseases associated with sterile inflammation such as autoimmune diseases, diabetes, and cancer. NETs components (myeloperoxidase, citrullinated histones, cell-free DNA) exhibit manifold effects on tumor cells, thereby emphasizing a need to be aware of the features of biological functions related to their constituents and their place in carcinogenesis to identify major molecular targets for targeted therapy of gynecologic cancers in the future.Aim: to determine an impact of NETs on tumor progression/metastasis and thrombosis risk in gynecologic cancer.Materials and Methods. A single-center interventional study was conducted: 70 women with uterine, ovarian and cervical cancer were examined; 60 age-matched apparently healthy women without thrombotic complications were selected as controls. All study participants were examined for myeloperoxidase (MРO), citrullinated histone (сitH3), proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR).Results. Laboratory biomarkers such as MPO (p < 0.001), IL-1β (p < 0.001) and NLR (p = 0.003) were significantly more often elevated in patients with oncological pathology compared to group of healthy women. 32 (45.7 %) of the 70 women with cancer of the reproductive system had metastases. Metastases-related analysis in patients showed significant differences in MPO level (p = 0.002), but not in level of citH3, IL-1β and NLR (p = 0.441, p = 0.159, and p = 0.739, respectively). Elevated citH3 vs. MPO, IL-1β and NLR level was significantly more often associated with developing thrombosis in study patients (p < 0.001).Conclusion. The results of our study demonstrate that inflammation and NETs components such as MPO and citH3 may be potentially implicated in many aspects of carcinogenesis including tumor metastasis and the risk of developing thrombosis in cancer patients.

Introduction. The tumor microenvironment (TME) consisting of non-tumor cells and other components plays a crucial role in cancer development by promoting uncontrolled tumor growth.Aim: to detail all the components in TME and their contribution to carcinogenesis by analyzing available publications.Results. Currently, TME study is of great interest in the medical field. Its crucial role in the tumor initiation, progression, and spreading is emphasized. Several constituents have been identified in TME including cancer-associated fibroblasts, neutrophils, adipocytes, tumor vasculature, lymphocytes, extracellular matrix, dendritic cells, neutrophil extracellular traps, etc. Thromboinflammatory reactions are also considered an important TME element.Conclusion. TME constituents can serve as new targets for both diagnostics and antitumor therapy.

The Myopopone castanea Smith (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) is a predator of Oryctes rhinoceros Linn larvae, the main pest on oil palm plantations. These predatory ants have potential as biological agents because they have similar niches to their prey. This research aimed to explore the presence and potential of M. castanea as bio-agents in oil palm plantations and obtain knowledge about the abiotic environment of Myopopone castanea ant nests. The research was conducted in oil palm plantations owned by PTPN 4 Adolina, PTPN 2 Pagar Merbau, and smallholder oil palm plantations in Binjai, North Sumatra Province. Sampling was conducted using the purposive sampling method and as many as 10 sample points in each plantation. The results showed that the average temperature and humidity in the ant nests were 29.4 °C and 70.5%, respectively. The number of individual ants in a colony varied greatly in number and developmental stages. The predation potential of Myopopone castanea ants in the field reached 50.3% for five days of exposure in smallholder plantations and 46,9% in Adolina Plantation. This research could be the opportunity to use Myopopone castanea ants as a biological control for larvae Oryctes rhinoceros in oil palm plantations.
Pediatric acute urinary retention due to impacted urethral meatal calculus: a rare case report
Authors: Putra Arief Fadli , Yulianto Fajar Awalia 
Published: March 2024

Urethral calculus is rare in pediatrics, especially with acute urinary retention. The diagnosis of urethral calculus is made by proper history taking, physical examination, and imaging studies. In this case, the diagnosis was made mainly by anamnesis, inspection, and palpation of the calculus in the external urethral meatus. Invasive and less invasive procedures such as open surgery, meatotomy, or laser lithotripsy procedure, can be a management of urethral calculus. In this case, simple extraction was performed without meatotomy or other invasive procedures. A 5-year-old, boy was reported to come to the emergency department because of severe pain in his penis and acute urinary retention. The patient had a history of dysuria, a habit of delaying urination, and low fluid intake. On physical examination, it was found a distention in the suprapubic area and a green-white solid mass at the external urethral meatus. A 10-millimeter calculus was successfully extracted from the external urethral meatus with simple extraction procedures under local anesthesia. This case report demonstrated a rare case of pediatric acute urinary retention secondary to impacted urethral meatal calculus in an emergency setting of a low-level hospital. Immediate and proper management was required due to the patient's condition and considering the lack of facilities. The extraction of calculus with minimal urethral damage was the recommendation.

The history of the development of science is inseparable from the history of thedevelopment of the philosophy of science, the philosophy of science referred to here is the truth system of science as a result of radical, systematic and universal thinking. One of the aims of this study on the usefulness of science (axiology) is to provide support for the process of advancing the science of da'wah among other sciences. The research method in this article is qualitative research with library research. Library research through library research based on literature, namely the main source in the form of library data in the form of books, manuscripts, books, and other sources in the form of other documentation. There is no difference or perspective on the axiology of science in the Islamic perspective. The axiology of science in an Islamic perspective is based on the values of the Qur'an and hadith. There are three branches of axiology of science in the Islamic perspective, namely: ethics, aesthetics and morals.

Published: March 2024

This study discusses religious thoughts that affect the learning ethos of students during the Covid-19 pandemic, which has formed a new culture in the learning process that is carried out online (on the network). This study uses a qualitative method with data collection techniques in observation, interviews and literature review. In contrast, the data analysis method used is an analysis of the religious ideas of Jabariyah, Qadariyah, Ahlu Sunnah Waljama'ah in the indicators of a predetermined learning ethos. This research has shown the results that: first, the level of religious understanding of students has shown a significant influence on learning ethos during the covid-19 pandemic, second, there is a change in the learning ethic of students seen from indicators/moral aspects (attitudes, behaviour, habits). Al-Jiddu (resistance/persistence, sincerity), al-Thariiq (method), AlHimmah (interests, ideals), and al-Shobru (patience). Third, the flow of Ahlu Sunnah Waljama'ah thought in the socio-cultural environment of the Purwakarta community also contributed to strengthening religious literacy during the covid-19 pandemic. Thus, the influence of religious thinking on the learning ethos of students has implications for the intellectual repertoire in the theological and social fields and will shape academic attitudes and culture in their participation in strengthening community religious literacy
