A way out of the predicament of social sciences in the 20th century: a dialogue with Clifford Geertz’s essay “Thick description: toward an interpretive theory of culture”(Part II)
Authors: Cai Hua 
Published: January 2024

AbstractClifford Geertz’s essay, “Thick Description: Toward an Interpretive Theory of Culture” comprehensively explored the basic problems encountered in the theoretical efforts of 20th century social sciences. As a response to his reflection, this paper tries to reveal the methodological roots of the predicament of interpretive anthropology and all social sciences, through an epistemological analysis of social science. In addition, with the Theory of Belief as an analytical tool, it also tries to offer a solution to one of the classic predicaments in social sciences: “what is ethnography”.

Authors: Szymonik Julia , Woźniak Justyna , Szopa Sebastian , Womperski Karol , Elias Jagoda 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Introduction: Addiction is a complex phenomenon whose development may be related to many factors. Its treatment often includes behavioral therapy, social support, and in the case of substance addictions, may also include drug therapy. A key element of therapy is understanding the causes and mechanisms of addiction and developing the ability to cope with temptations and difficulties. In this particular context the utilization of mindfulness practices demonstrates promising potential in aiding the management of addiction.
Purpose: Provide an overview of the current understanding regarding the efficacy of mindfulness training in addiction therapies.
Description of the state of knowledge: The importance of employing mindfulness techniques in addressing addiction is steadily rising. Consistent practice of mindfulness offers advantages in addressing addictive behaviors by aiding individuals in comprehending and regulating impulses as well as managing intense cravings. Mindfulness facilitates an enhancement in self-awareness and recognition of personal reactions, proving especially beneficial in the process of recovery from addiction.
Summary: Research shows that mindfulness training may be a promising intervention in addiction control because it increases self-control and promotes emotion regulation. However, further research is needed to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of mindfulness for addiction control.
Keywords: mindfulness; addiction; addictive behavior; dependence; substance use disorder.

Introduction and purpose: This publication is a review of research on potential risk factors for the development of autism and autistic behaviour in children. The purpose of this review is to spread knowledge and awareness of autism syndrome disorder.
Brief description of the state of knowledge: Autism syndrome disorder is a neurological and developmental brain disorder. It is characterized by problems with social relationships and communication as well as narrow and repetitive behaviours and interests. The causes of autism spectrum disorder are still not fully understood and pose a challenge to modern medicine. Numerous studies find causes in fetal life and the course of pregnancy, genetic conditions and mutations, environmental risk factors or vaccination. Many theories about the causes of autism require more extensive and thorough research, for which some beliefs have been overturned, such as the search for links between autism spectrum disorder and childhood vaccination. At this point, the role of genetic mutations in the occurrence of autism in children can be confirmed with certainty. Causes are particularly looked for in fetal life and prenatal factors. One theory relates to the activation of the mother's immune system, her production of cytokine and pro-inflammatory factors that affect the development of the fetal nervous system.
Results and conclusions: In our review, we aim to present the risk factors that can most significantly influence the development of ASD. These factors include genetics, prenatal diet, smoking during pregnancy, maternal intake of antidepressants, infections during pregnancy, other pregnancy and maternal factors, parental age, various paternal risk factors, lack of breastfeeding, and environmental factors. Some factors need more research for a comprehensive understanding, while others, like breastfeeding and non-smoking during pregnancy, are well-studied and require promotion to reduce the risk of the disorder.

The ecological impact of resin-printed models in clear aligner treatment
Authors: Slaymaker Jack , Woolley Julian , Hirani Sunil , Martin Victoria 
Published: January 2024

Clear aligner therapy has gained immense popularity among orthodontists and general dentists as a treatment option for orthodontic tooth movement. This rapidly growing technology has successfully treated 14 million patients, resulting in an estimated production of 728 million plastic models and aligners. However, the disposal of these models and aligners presents a significant environmental concern because they are either destined for landfill, where they can leach harmful substances into the environment, or incinerated, leading to the release of carcinogenic toxins. This article explores the environmental impact of clear aligner technology, shedding light on the potential consequences associated with its widespread adoption. CPD/Clinical Relevance: To introduce the topic of the environmental impact of clear aligner therapy and the possible solutions to tackle this issue from a clinical and industry-based standpoint.

The use of orthodontics in the management of a bilateral condylar fracture in a child
Authors: Murphy Ian , Taylor Nigel 
Published: January 2024

Mandibular fractures in children are different to those in adults. Greenstick fractures are more commonplace, and displacement less frequently encountered. They are mostly treated conservatively; however, if the occlusion is altered, then reduction will be required. Closed reduction is normally favoured in children because open surgical reduction and internal fixation may impair future growth. Closed reduction is often carried out with arch bars or splints. These may be traumatic and painful for the child. This case report describes the case of a 12-year-old boy who presented with bilateral condylar fractures with displacement and deranged occlusion. Minimal fixed appliance treatment was used to reduce the fractures and restore him to his pre-injury occlusion. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Minimal orthodontic treatment can be used to reduce a bilateral condylar fracture with displacement in paediatric mandibular fractures.

Published: January 2024

Bu araştırmada, sınıf öğretmenlerinin, güçlendirici liderlik ve güçlendirmeye ilişkin görüşleri incelenmiştir. Araştırmada, nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden fenomenolojik yaklaşım benimsenmiştir. Araştırma, 2020-2021 eğitim-öğretim yılında Elâzığ il merkezinde farklı okullarda görev yapmakta olan amaçlı örnekleme yöntemlerinden ölçüt örnekleme tekniği kullanılarak araştırmaya dahil edilen gönüllü 13 sınıf öğretmeni ile yürütülmüştür. Veri toplama aracı olarak, açık uçlu sorulardan oluşan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları okul müdürünün adil olması, mesleki gelişim için fırsatlar sunması, sorumlulukla beraber yetki vermesi ve iletişime açık olması öğretmeni güçlendirdiğini göstermektedir. Öğretmeni güçlendirmenin merkez yönetimden taşra örgütlerine kadar bir kültür oluşturmasının gerektiği ve bunun sonucunda öğretmenin kendini yetkin hissedeceği, görevini daha büyük bir motivasyonla icra edeceği söylenebilir. Sonuç olarak okul müdürü, öğretmenleri ile ortak bir yaşam içerisinde olduğunun, kurumun hedeflerine ancak öğretmenleri ile beraber ulaşabileceğinin, güçlendirici liderlik davranışlarının yönetsel ve örgütsel etkililiği sağladığının farkında olmalıdır. Öğretmenlerin güçlendirme algılarında müdürlerin ayrımcılık yaptığına dair kanıtlar bulunmuştur. Elde edilen diğer bir bulgu, okul müdürlerinin sendikaya göre kayırmacı bir tutum sergilediklerini işaret etmektedir. Bu bulgudan hareketle okul müdürlerinin görevlerini yaptıkları süreçte sendika üyelik sıfatlarının olmaması önerilebilir.

Gluing Karcher–Scherk saddle towers I: Triply periodic minimal surfaces
Authors: Chen Hao , Traizet Martin 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
We construct minimal surfaces by gluing singly periodic Karcher–Scherk
saddle towers along their wings. Such constructions were previously
implemented assuming a horizontal reflection plane. We break this symmetry
by prescribing phase differences between the saddle towers. It turns out
that, in addition to the previously known horizontal balancing condition, the
saddle towers must also be balanced under a subtle vertical interaction.
This interaction vanishes in the presence of a horizontal reflection plane,
hence was not perceived in previous works.
Our construction will be presented in a series of papers. In this first
paper of the series, we will explain the background of the project and
establish the graph theoretical setup that will be useful for all papers in
the series. The main task of the current paper is to glue saddle towers into
triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMSs). Our construction expands many
previously known TPMSs into new 5-parameter families, therefore significantly
advances our knowledge on the space of TPMSs.
Multi-localized time-symmetric initial data for the Einstein vacuum equations
Authors: Anderson John , Corvino Justin , Pasqualotto Federico 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
We construct a class of time-symmetric initial data sets for the Einstein vacuum equations modeling elementary configurations of multiple almost isolated systems. Each such initial data set consists of a collection of several localized sources of gravitational radiation, and lies in a family of data sets which is closed under scaling out the distances between the systems by arbitrarily large amounts. This class contains data sets which are not asymptotically flat, but to which nonetheless a finite ADM mass can be ascribed. The construction proceeds by a gluing scheme using the Brill–Lindquist metric as a template. Such initial data are motivated in part by a desire to understand the dynamical interaction of distant systems in the context of general relativity. As a by-product of the construction, we produce families of complete, scalar-flat initial data with trivial topology and infinitely many minimal spheres, as well as families of initial data with infinitely many Einstein–Rosen bridges.
Analysis of Multi-Factor Dynamic Coupling and Government Intervention Level for Urbanization in China: Evidence from the Yangtze River Economic Belt
Authors: Bao Wenchao , Chen Beier , Yan Minghui 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Effective coordination of urbanization dynamics and influencing factors is crucial for achieving balanced development. This study analyzes urbanization, economic, and environmental data of the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2005 to 2019 using the Coupling Degree model and Entropy Method with the Analytic Hierarchy Process, focusing on the coordination between urbanization development, economic development, and environmental protection (EP). It highlights the significance of government interventions and the necessary level of government engagement in environmental matters for harmonized development across regions. Findings show that higher urbanization and economic levels align with robust environmental safeguards facilitated by active government interventions. Conversely, lower levels may lead to reduced EP, influenced by government actions. The study enhances understanding of the interplay between urbanization, economic growth, and environmental conservation, underlining the government’s role in coordination. Different development stages reveal the importance of government environmental interventions for policy formulation. Introducing the relatively unexplored variable of government policy, the study establishes a comprehensive framework for interventions, enriching coordination analysis and insights.
On the Flow Characteristics (FC) method for estimating sustainable borehole yield
Authors: M Gomo  
Published: January 2024

Flow Characteristics (FC) is one of the few methods developed for predicting long-term sustainable borehole yield of single wells in typical fractured rock aquifers. The FC method uses drawdown derivatives and subjective information on no-flow boundaries to estimate a sustainable borehole yield that should not cause the water level to drop below the main water strike (fracture) during long-term operations. Since its development, the FC method has been widely applied in many research and consulting projects. Two decades after its development, a review of its technical capabilities and limitations is necessary to enhance understanding among groundwater practitioners while building a platform for further improvements. The main strength of the method is its simplicity of use, its ability to protect the main water strike/fracture, and its lower susceptibility to the influence of aquifer heterogeneities because it does not require the input of aquifer storativity and transmissivity. The FC method also caters to the negative influence of impermeable boundaries, thereby enabling planning for different low-yield-causing scenarios. However, the major limitation is in using the subjective closed no-flow boundary without factoring aquifer storativity and the distance of the closed no-flow boundary from the pumping well. Under the influence of the closed no-flow boundary, the water must come from aquifer storage, hence the storativity and the size of the bounded aquifer are very critical parameters. It is therefore incorrect to factor in the influence of the closed no-flow boundary without considering its exact location. This limitation is reflected in the absence of criteria to determine the distance of the closed no-flow boundary from the pumping well for validating the FC results using numerical models. The FC method still needs validation using field operational data; other recommendations for future research are highlighted in the discussion.
Perpetuating gender hierarchy in Indonesia through language: A deconstructive study on the online Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia
Authors: Sirulhaq Ahmad , Listyo Indra , Adriani Maria , Aisyiyah Siti 
Published: January 2024

Gender relations in Indonesian social practices tend to marginalize women, as manifested in various methods and instruments. One of them is the use of language in Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia (online KBBI), an Indonesian dictionary compiled by the Indonesian government. The dictionary is the primary standard and official reference for lemmas, meanings, and examples of sentences. This study aims to analyze the unequal relations between men and women reflected in linguistic units in the online KBBI and uncover their hidden meanings. Data was collected by searching, reading, and recording (documenting) the gender-related lemmas (words), definitions of lemmas, and examples of their use in sentences in the online KBBI from 7 May to 5 June 2022, and applying Derrida’s deconstruction approach to the words and their related features, with its main principles including (1) determining the meanings that are not determined (undecidable), (2) dismantling the ideology of the text (binary logic), (3) reversing the metaphysical hierarchy and neutralize it, and (4) disseminating the meaning. This study found a metaphysical hierarchy between women and men in binary concepts, including domestic-public hierarchy, passive object-active subject hierarchy, and negative-positive hierarchy for women and men regarding lemmas, meanings, and examples of sentences in the online KBBI. These findings suggest that KBBI tends to perpetuate unequal metaphysical hierarchies between women and men in Indonesia. This article is expected to contribute to language awareness and attitudes in Indonesia in addition to improving the online KBBI in terms of its language use.
Digital storytelling projects in developing Indonesian EFL pre-service teachers’ metasemiotic awareness and professional competence
Authors: Drajati Nur Arifah , Tan Lynde , Tyarakanita Agustina , Wijaya Surya Agung 
Published: January 2024

Despite the widely-cited potential of digital storytelling (DST), its use in EFL education remains under-explored in Indonesia. Thus, EFL pre-service teachers (PSTs) in Indonesia are not sufficiently prepared to create digital and multimodal teaching materials using pedagogical approaches like DST since EFL education still prioritizes language and has not yet acknowledged other meaning-making modes for communication. In order to fill in the gap, we invited 20 pre-service teachers (aged 22 to 24) in Central Java to be involved in our study. Employing a case study with intervention and using classroom observations, artifacts, and reflections to collect the data, this study aimed to increase pre-service teachers’ metasemiotic awareness and professional competence by involving these PSTs in examining the linguistic and visual modes whilst creating digital stories for EFL teaching. Furthermore, we discussed the approach to facilitate the processes to achieve this dual aim. The findings highlighted both the importance of teaching EFL from a multimodal approach and the pedagogical implications for Indonesian EFL pre-service teacher education.
Linguistic diversity and communication dynamics an in-depth study of Phatic expressions in Bima
Authors: Alek Alek , Abdullah Umar 
Published: January 2024

Phatic expressions serve a vital role in daily communication, fostering the strengthening of social bonds and the maintenance of interpersonal relationships among conversational participants. Despite their significance, a comprehensive investigation into phatic expressions in regional Indonesian languages remains notably lacking. To address this research gap, our study delves into the diverse forms and functions of phatic expression within the Bima language (BL). Employing a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design, conversational interviews were conducted involving five participants, leading to the identification of fourteen distinct phatic utterances in BL. These expressions encompassed -ra, -na, -ku, -pu, rau, ke, ka, kan, rauja, oe, ha, ah, sih, and poda. Findings reveal that these phatic expressions serve a multitude of functions, encompassing affirmation, validation, explanation, expressions of surprise, conveying irritation, signaling uncertainty, emphasizing intensity, and issuing commands. Notably, the category of phatic expressions for affirmation exhibited the greatest diversity, featuring six distinct expressions. From a linguistic perspective, the use of this rich array of phatic expressions plays a pivotal role in maintaining seamless communication among speakers, contributing significantly to the fluidity of conversation. This study carries important pedagogical implications for language educators, particularly in Indonesia and regions where BL is spoken. Educators can enhance their students' linguistic repertoire, particularly in the context of the Bima language. Furthermore, by shedding light on the intricacies of phatic expression in BL, this research contributes to a broader exploration of language diversity and its sociolinguistic significance, further strengthening the documentation and preservation of regional languages.
Consecuencias de la pandemia SARSCoV-2 en el proceso de emetropización y defectos refractivos en edad escolar
Authors: León Fernández Rocío León 
Published: January 2024

ANTECEDENTES: Después del confinamiento domiciliario provocado por el SARSCoV2, sobrevino un cambio respecto al uso de nuevas tecnologías de información y comunicación, que aumentaron la exigencia visual en etapas susceptibles para padecer defectos refractivos.
OBJETIVO: Evaluar si el confinamiento domiciliario y el uso de nuevas tecnologías de información y comunicación influyen en la distribución de defectos refractivos infantiles.
MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio epidemiológico, analítico y trasversal, que incluyó una muestra por conveniencia de 244 niños, asignados a dos grupos independientes: 1) los que sufrieron confinamiento domiciliario (n = 113) y 2) grupo control (n = 131). Se evaluaron los antecedentes personales y familiares, tipo de colegio, horario escolar, actividades extraescolares, uso de nuevas tecnologías de información y comunicación, y tareas escolares. Se exploró la refracción con cicloplejia. Posteriormente se examinó la distribución de defectos refractivos en ambos grupos.
RESULTADOS: La distribución de defectos refractivos en el grupo de confinamiento reportó una menor cantidad de niños emétropes y mayor con astigmatismo.
CONCLUSIONES: El confinamiento domiciliario por el COVID-19 y los cambios en la educación escolar y familiar respecto al uso de nuevas tecnologías de información y comunicación pudieran haber supuesto mayor exigencia visual en pleno proceso de emetropización infantil. Se registraron menos niños emétropes y más con astigmatismo después del confinamiento, lo que a futuro puede incrementar la cantidad de casos de miopía.
