Effectiveness of lower limb rehabilitation protocol using mobile health on quality of life, functional strength, and functional capacity among knee osteoarthritis patients who are overweight and obese: A randomized-controlled trial
Authors: Tariq Rafiq Muhammad , Shariff Abdul Hamid Mohamad , Hafiz Eliza 
Published: December 2023

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the lower limb rehabilitation protocol (LLRP) using mobile health (mHealth) on quality of life (QoL), functional strength, and functional capacity among knee OA patients who were overweight and obese.
Patients and methods: Between August 2019 and November 2020, a total of 96 patients (42 males, 54 females; mean age; 52.9±4.8 years; range, 40 to 60 years) were randomized into either the rehabilitation group with mobile health (RGw-mHealth) receiving reminders by using mHealth to carry on the strengthening exercises of LLRP and instructions of daily care (IDC), the rehabilitation group without mobile health (RGwo-mHealth) following the strengthening exercises of LLRP and instructions of daily care (IDC) and control group (CG) only following the IDC for duration of 12 weeks. The reminders for using mHealth were provided two times a day for three days a week. Primary outcome measures were QoL assessed by the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index summary score, and functional strength by five-repetition sit-to-stand test. Secondary outcome measure was functional capacity assessed by the Gait Speed Test. The assessments of QoL, functional strength, and functional capacity were taken at baseline and post-test after 12 weeks of intervention.
Results: After 12 weeks of intervention, the patients in all three groups had a statistically significant improvement in QoL within groups (p<0.05). Patients in the RGw-mHealth and RGwo-mHealth had a statistically significant improvement in functional strength and walking gait speed within groups (p<0.05). The pairwise between-group comparisons (Bonferroni post-hoc test) of the mean changes in QoL, functional strength, and functional capacity at post-test assessments revealed that patients in the RGw-mHealth had a statistically significant greater mean change in QoL, functional strength and functional capacity relative to both the RGwo-mHealth and CG (p<0.001).
Conclusion: The improvement in QoL, functional strength, and functional capacity was greater among patients in the RGw-mHealth compared to the RGwo-mHealth or CG.
SELF-EFFICACY IN PARENTS OF CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS: A STATE-OF-THE-ART REVIEW OF RESEARCH AND IMPLICATIONS
Authors: Ronkainen Noora , Uusiautti Satu , Äärelä Tanja 
Published: December 2023

Research on self-efficacy in parents who have children with special needs appears fragmented and relatively scarce. The purpose of the research was to analyze (1) how the self-efficacy of parents who have children with special needs has been researched in 2000-2020 and (2) what implications the research provides to support parents’ self-efficacy. This was a state-of-the-art review in which a total of 23 articles were selected (n=10 from EBSCO and n=13 from ScienceDirect). The data were analyzed with the method of qualitative content analysis. For the research question 1, three upper categories were formed: Self-efficacy from the perspective of the parent’s well-being; Self-efficacy in relation to the child; and Self-efficacy in relation to the support offered to parents. For the research question 2, all articles (n=21) that included any implications were used for answering this question. Implications were categorized into Social support and services; Support for parents’ well-being; and Knowledge and skills offered to parents. Based on the analysis more research is needed about the connection between perceived well-being and self-efficacy from the parents’ own perspective. Cognitive-behavioral therapeutic interventions would be beneficial for parents who find their child’s behavior challenging. They also need continuous access to behavioral therapeutic methods.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0089/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

A distinção entre a verdade filosófica e a verdade factual, na ótica arendtiana.
Authors: Araújo Leonardo 
Published: December 2023

RESUMO: Ensejamos abordar o tema da verdade a partir do pensamento de Hannah Arendt. Tomamos como base o seu ensaio Verdade e política provindo da obra Entre o Passado e o Futuro. O objetivo é destacar como o conceito de verdade é visto pela ótica arendtiana e é bipartida em tipos bem distintos: a filosófica e a factual. Para tanto, faremos uso da análise textual referendada a partir do ensaio de Arendt e de comentadores relevantes ao assunto. No primeiro momento do texto, mostramos como Arendt aborda o conceito de verdade filosófica, racional e a sua relação com a política. Já no segundo momento do texto tratamos de expor um outro tipo de verdade que, segundo a ótica arendtiana, é própria do mundo dos homens, a que interessa na esfera pública. Por fim, nas considerações finais, retomamos a análise dos dois tipos de verdade e, embora concordemos com a perspectiva do primeiro tipo, a filosófica, tendemos a acreditar que a verdade factual é o oposto da mentira, a âncora necessária para sair do obscurantismo provindo da falsidade deliberada.
ABSTRACT: We intend to approach the theme of truth from the thought of Hannah Arendt.We take as a basis his essay“ Truth and Politics” from the work Between the Past and the Future. The objective is highlight the distinction of how the concept of truth is seen from Arendt´s perspective and is divided into very diferent types: the philosophical and the factual. To do so, we will make use of the textual analysis referenced from Arendt´s essay and relevant commentators on the subject. In the first moment of the text, we show how Arendt approaches the concept of philosophical, rational truth and its relationship with politics. In the second moment of the text, we tried to expose another type of truth that, according to Arendt´s perspective, belongs to the world of men, which is what matters in the public sphere. Finally, in the final considerations, we return to the types of truth and in the analysis that follows, although we agree with the perspective of the first type, the philosophical one, in relation to factual truth, we tend to believe that it is the opposite of the lie, the necessary anchor to get out of obscurantism arising from deliberate falsehood.

Dual-Frequency Lidar for Compressed Sensing 3D Imaging Based on All-Phase Fast Fourier Transform
Authors: Li Xiaotian , Hu Yetong , Jie Yuchen , Zhao Changming , Zhang Zilong 
Published: December 2023

Lidar, with its advantages of high measurement accuracy, fine angular resolution, and strong anti-interference capability, plays a pivotal role in the field of scene depth information acquisition. Traditional approaches to achieving lateral spatial resolution in imaging include raster scanning and array detectors. The former necessitates frequent scanning to acquire depth maps, resulting in time consumption and instability. The latter encounters challenges such as high dark count rates, pixel crosstalk, and excessive costs for obtaining high-resolution images using array detectors. The introduction of compressed sensing (CS) offers a novel perspective on realizing non-scanning three-dimensional imaging. In this context, we propose a novel three-dimensional imaging system that combines CS with coherent dual-frequency continuous-wave lidar and utilizes the all-phase fast Fourier transform to extract both amplitude and phase information. This system requires only M measurements, and through a reconstruction algorithm, it achieves the inversion of depth information for N-pixel scenes (M << N). Integrating cost-effective components such as digital micromirrors and single-point detectors, this affordable system accomplishes three-dimensional imaging of a single target. Notably, it significantly reduces the required number of measurements while concurrently ensuring enhanced eye safety and signal-to-noise ratio.

Authors: Souza Victor Hugo Gomes de 
Published: December 2023

Este estudo tem como objetivo geral analisar se os jogos eletrônicos podem ser considerados um esporte genuíno ou se são apenas uma forma de entretenimento. A motivação pelo tema deu-se em razão da popularidade crescente e o reconhecimento dos jogos eletrônicos como forma de entretenimento que acabou legitimando o reconhecimento dessa atividade como um esporte genuíno em outros países. A metodologia empregada nesse estudo compreendeu como uma pesquisa descritiva, com abordagem qualitativa, onde o levantamento bibliográfico foi realizado em um recorte de tempo, indexada nos bancos de dados SciELO (Scientific Eletronic Library OnLine), PePSIC (Períodicos Eletrônicos em Psicologia) e Google Acadêmico com publicações no período de 2017 a 2023. Ao concluir este estudo chegou-se ao entendimento de que o reconhecimento dos jogos eletrônicos como esporte envolve uma análise profunda de diversos aspectos legais que vão desde a definição do esporte, a regulamentação das competições o reconhecimento dos jogadores como atletas e até mesmo a proteção dos seus direitos.
SEPARAÇÃO OBRIGATÓRIA DOS NUBENTES MAIORES DE 70 ANOS E SUA (IN)COMPATIBILIDADE COM AS MUDANÇAS SOCIODEMOGRÁFICAS
Authors: Nascimento Jéssica Silva , Santos Dartagnan Plínio Souza 
Published: December 2023

O objetivo deste estudo consiste em examinar a concordância do artigo 1641, Inciso II, que trata da imposição da separação de bens para os cônjuges com mais de 70 anos de idade, com a atual inversão da pirâmide etária brasileira e o aumento da expectativa de vida. Para isto, a metodologia utilizada será a revisão bibliográfica, por meio das análises de dados, reflexão sobre a lei e análise dos entendimentos jurisprudenciais do STF e STJ. A importância desse tema reside na necessidade de uma análise mais abrangente e reflexiva em relação aos idosos, diante das recentes mudanças sociodemográficas e jurisprudenciais perante a legislação que impõe a separação obrigatória, tendo em vista as constantes mudanças da sociedade. Desse modo, questiona-se a existência da defasagem da norma para com a realidade atual e as suas mudanças. E se é necessária uma revisão na Lei nº 12.344 de 2010, frente ao significativo aumento da expectativa de vida. Portanto, o resultado esperado é evidenciar a defasagem da norma, o aumento da longevidade e a nova estruturação sociológica proveniente da inversão da pirâmide etária. Assim, constatou-se haver uma incompatibilidade da lei que impõe a separação obrigatória de bens aos nubentes maiores de 70 anos com o cenário atual da sociedade brasileira.

Abstract. Ozone is a potent air pollutant in the lower troposphere and an important short-lived climate forcer (SLCF) in the upper troposphere. Studies using satellite data to investigate spatiotemporal variability of troposphere ozone (TO3) have predominantly focussed on the tropospheric column metric. This is the first study to investigate long-term spatiotemporal variability in lower tropospheric column ozone (LTCO3, surface–450 hPa sub-column) by merging multiple European Space Agency–Climate Change Initiative (ESA-CCI) products produced by the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) Space. We find that in the LTCO3, the degree of freedom of signal (DOFS) from these products varies with latitude range and season and is up to 0.8, indicating that the retrievals contain useful information on lower TO3. The spatial and seasonal variation of the RAL Space products are in good agreement with each other, but there are systematic offsets of up to 3.0–5.0 DU between them. Comparison with ozonesondes shows that the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME-1, 1996–2003), the SCanning Imaging Absorption spectroMeter for Atmospheric CartograpHY (SCIAMACHY, 2003–2010) and the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI, 2005–2017) have stable LTCO3 records over their respective periods, which can be merged together. However, GOME-2 (2008–2018) shows substantial drift in its bias with respect to ozonesondes. We have therefore constructed a robust merged data set of LTCO3 from GOME-1, SCIAMACHY and OMI between 1996 and 2017. Comparing the LTCO3 differences between the 1996–2000 and 2013–2017 5-year averages, we find sizeable positive increases (3.0–5.0 DU) in the tropics/sub-tropics, while in the northern mid-latitudes, we find small-scale differences in LTCO3. Therefore, we conclude that there has been a substantial increase in tropical/sub-tropical LTCO3 during the satellite era, which is consistent with tropospheric column ozone (TCO3) records from overlapping time periods (e.g. 2005–2016).
Lives and Destinies in History: The Possibilities and Questions of Personal History
Authors: Valuch Tibor 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This article examines how the method of analytical life, family, and generational history can be applied to the complex social-history analysis of transformations and changes in the social behavior of individuals and communities. The first part reviews the theoretical and methodological issues concerning this possible historical approach, discusses how this approach might be different from traditional historical interpretations, and then briefly summarizes the range of possible sources and their utility. The second part applies this analytical approach to a case study that examines the life histories of six generations of a lower-nobility family to analyze the specificities of social-position changes. It highlights the long-term process by which the family lost its landholdings and became day laborers and then gradually improved its social status, becoming petty bourgeois and later members of the lower-middle class.

The interview was conducted within the framework of the NKFI-FK-135586 grant project “The Post-1956 Refugee Crisis and Hungarian Émigré Communities during the Cold War.” The transcript was subsequently edited by the interlocutors.
Wasted or Stolen Time: Squid Game, Debt, and Dispossession of Time
Authors: Subramanian Prerna 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This article delves into the portrayal of the relationship between indebted individuals and disposable time in the South Korean Netflix TV series Squid Game (2021–present). It argues that the show illustrates how the debt-ridden, so-called unproductive members of society are denied the right to have disposable time and are excluded from moments of play and leisure and denied escape from their perpetual debt cycle. The analysis focuses on two pivotal moments: the recruitment of Gi-Hun and the persuasion of Oh Il-Nam to participate in the deadly game. In the final episode, Oh Il-Nam is revealed as the wealthy mastermind behind the Squid Game, highlighting the rich’s exploitation of the indebted individuals’ time for their own leisure and profit. The article concludes by suggesting an alternative perspective: considering time as stolen rather than wasted, prompting further contemplation on the complex dynamics of power, time, and exploitation depicted in Squid Game.
Vanilla Twist Again: Passing, Loitering, and Intertextual Equilibrium in John Carpenter’s Assault on Precinct 13
Authors: Rolls Alistair , Hamilton Emma 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
In the companion piece to this article, the authors discuss John Carpenter’s Assault on Precinct 13 (1976) from the perspective of what they have dubbed “representational equilibrium,” in which two opposed notions—change over time and absence of transformation—can be shown to pertain at the same time in the same film. This article maps the and-or dynamics of equilibrium onto textual space as something simultaneously autonomous (closed in upon itself) and shared or penetrated (open to otherness). This “intertextual equilibrium” allows a more complex reading of the filmic intertext as it pertains to Assault and its hypotexts. Intertextual exchange will be analyzed as points of intersection (of host and source texts) and sites of double movement or double-crossing. For example, while Once Upon a Time in the West will be seen to hold the key to Napoleon Wilson’s racial identity in Assault, Assault will simultaneously raise questions about Harmonica’s identity in Once Upon a Time in the West. Literal crossings will stand as metaphors for racial passing and metonyms for Assault’s construction: Carpenter’s film is, like its (quasi-titular) precinct, under siege, assaulted by the very intertexts on which it is built.
The Mineralogical, Chemical, and Physical Properties of Ceramic Building Material: Khirbet Edh-Dharih in Southern Jordan (First Century BC–Seventh Century AD)
Authors: Al-Shorman Ahmed H. B. , Al-Muheisen Zeidoun H. , Khalayleh Raghad M. , Al-Daire Jihad A. 
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT
Throughout history, ceramic building material (CBM), such as bricks, tiles, and hypocaust tiles, along with decorative elements, have been of immense significance. To determine the mineralogical content, chemical composition, and physical property of such materials, as well as pottery sherds, excavated from the archaeological site of Khirbet Edh-Dharih in southern Jordan, a range of analytical techniques that include petrography, XRD, AAS, and SEM-EDX were utilized. The findings indicate that during the periods studied the potters followed the tradition of sourcing local raw materials and utilized relatively advanced manufacturing techniques. However, the late Byzantine–early Umayyad potters deviated from this norm by blending noncalcareous clay with coarsely crushed quartz in higher proportions and firing them at elevated temperatures. This resulted in a clay with a lower water absorption capacity, lower porosity, and higher bulk density, thus improving its durability.
“Princeton’s Gift to Turkey”: Exploring the Political Matrix of the Orpheus Mosaic from Jerusalem and Late Ottoman Sardis
Authors: Luke Christina , Çelik Semih 
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT
Whereas it has often been argued that conflict and Western imperial ambitions and ensuing Ottoman defensive policies guided the direction of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century archaeology in Anatolia and the Middle East, here we offer a perspective of high-profile American-Ottoman mutual partage diplomacy. This view stems from the relationship between Princeton University and the Imperial Museum in Constantinople. From a multiscalar approach that includes microlocal and macroimperial histories, we demonstrate how this American alliance trumped Ottoman citizenship and transcended physical and political jurisdictions. “Princeton’s Gift to Turkey”—the excavation, transfer, and installment of the Orpheus mosaic from the northwest corner of the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem to the Imperial Museum—triggered a lasting relationship between Osman Hamdi Bey and Howard Crosby Butler. Underwritten by financial means and technological capacity, this alliance foreshadowed the transformative period at Late Ottoman Sardis.
The Materiality of the Religious Soundscape: Bells and Bell Casting in Lebanon
Authors: Rodriguez Suarez Alex 
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT
This article looks at bells and bell casting in Lebanon from the eighteenth to the twentieth century. The topic, which has not received much scholarly attention, sheds light on a fascinating aspect of the material culture of the Christian communities in Lebanon. Through a combination of written sources and artifacts the article traces the history of bells and their production in the territory of the Republic of Lebanon. The core of the study is a catalog of ten bells, found in churches and monasteries across Lebanon, which were examined in 2020. Because of their location—usually on top of bell towers/gables—these musical instruments cannot be surveyed easily. Their analysis is a remarkable opportunity to visualize the materiality of bell ringing and its evolution throughout a period of about 200 years.
