Aesthetic Testimony and Aesthetic Concepts
Authors: Sauchelli Andrea 
Published: February 2024

AbstractI propose a new account of the limits of aesthetic testimony. One of this new account's main claims is that, among the kinds of aesthetic cognitive achievements, it is useful to distinguish aesthetic understanding. In particular, I suggest that the aesthetic understanding of X involves an understanding of why X is aesthetically valuable. In turn, aesthetic understanding is essentially connected to the deployment of aesthetic concepts. Given the fine-grained structure of some of these concepts, certain forms of testimony are not adequate to acquire them.
“The War Songs Continue ’til They Find Peace”: Music and the Politics of Death on the Ethio-South Sudanese Border
Authors: Bishop Sarah J. 
Published: February 2024

AbstractDiscrimination and violence have characterized inter-ethnic dynamics on the Ethiopian–South Sudanese border since the 1990s. Local musicians compose songs decrying the violence, calling for peace in their communities. Simultaneously, these same artists compose songs with divisive rhetoric, particularly during and after outbreaks of ethnically based killings. I argue that this dual promotion of peace and conflict is not contradictory but is logical in the context of decades of violence and trauma. Artists and their listeners consider violence necessary for self-defense, which does not preclude a genuine desire for positive inter-ethnic relations. These logics have implications for applied ethnomusicology in conflict zones.
Stiamo (ancora) tutti bene? L'italiano all'estero: dai primi numeri MLA post-pandemia al mercato del lavoro. Il ‘caso’ della GTA di Toronto
Authors: Casini Simone 
Published: February 2024

AbstractIl contributo propone una analisi linguistica e politico-linguistico-educativa sulla attuale condizione dell'insegnamento dell'italiano all'estero, a partire dai dati sul numero delle iscrizioni ai corsi di lingua presentati dalla MLA (2022) e dal College Board (AP courses). Il dato generale sui numeri delle iscrizioni ai corsi e sugli esami AP è poi considerato a titolo esemplificativo nel contesto economico professionale della Greater Toronto Area (GTA) di Toronto, così da fornire un quadro specifico, ma esaustivo, delle opportunità di spesa delle competenze linguistiche in italiano in un contesto come quello della capitale dell'Ontario che è stato nel passato particolarmente attrattivo per l'Italia e l'italiano a seguito degli ingenti movimenti migratori degli anni Settanta e Ottanta.
God and State Above All

Abstract
This article explores how politically active Polish women starting in the late nineteenth century until the start of World War II viewed themselves and their duties vis-a-vis the Polish nation. It traces the women's movement in Poland from the first calls for women's right to work, to their eventual enfranchisement under a newly independent Polish state in 1918. Challenges to women's equality took many forms: men from both sides of the political spectrum viewed women's entry into the salaried workforce and the public sphere as largely undesirable and deployed a variety of arguments to reinforce traditional gender hierarchy. Yet many educated Polish women, even from conservative, Catholic perspectives, viewed their engagement in the public sphere as necessary work for the good of the Polish nation. This article uses letters, political pamphlets, and published works to explore how modern Polish women attempted to strike a balance between breaking and preserving traditional notions of gender in order to secure new rights for themselves in a volatile political atmosphere. While Polish women's groups differed on their vision of the ideal Polish state, they generally agreed that women's roles as mothers provided the moral legitimacy required to act in the public sphere. They successfully carved a space for themselves in the new Polish state of 1918 but remained marginalized in a separate and unequal status in the interwar period.
It Is High Time for Serious Women

Published: February 2024

Abstract
This article aims to highlight aspects of female emancipation in the Kingdom of Poland in the second half of the nineteenth century that gave this movement a specific, national character. The political and economic consequences of the January Uprising (1863–1864) hit the landed gentry particularly hard. As a result, many gentry women faced the necessity of earning a living and this forced a change in their way of life and aspirations. The traditional model for elite women did not match the economic challenges, and with this in mind, the Polish press, especially magazines for female readers, aimed to create a new model of gentry womanhood. Most periodicals agreed that women's emancipation was on a certain level necessary. But to what extent? This question has been a subject of dispute. Some columnists postulated to limit women's professional aspirations to manual occupations in order to preserve the domain of prestigious intellectual labor exclusively for men. This conservative movement succeeded only partially, with some upper-class women devoting themselves to handicrafts while others, against conservatives’ wishes, graduated from universities abroad and obtained qualifications for performing previously male professions. The majority of these educated women combined paid labor with social work. They were strongly influenced by the promoted ideal of a “new Polish woman” who was to be hard working, constantly improving her mental faculties, and engaging in activities that benefitted Polish society and the nation. This model contributed significantly to the formation of a new generation of distinguished female activists.

Authors: Utami Ima Hidayati , Dida Susanne , Hadisiwi Purwanti , Prasetyo Bambang Dwi 
Published: February 2024

Objective: Goal 6.2 of the SDGs emphasizes the importance of safe sanitation and ending open defecation in promoting health and well-being. This study analyzes health communication strategies for ending open defecation (OD) in a riverside community and identifies communication elements impeding the outcome.

Methodology:. Using a qualitative approach, the data were collected through a forum group discussion (FGD), in-depth interviews, and observations. Fourteen people attended the FGD, including village government leaders, community and religious leaders, health cadres, people with OD habits, a midwife. Eight people were interviewed, including the head of the primary health center, the head of the environmental health division at Malang District Health Office, village government leaders, community and religious leaders, a sanitarian, and people with OD habits.

Findings: The triggering method was combined with a customized communication strategy to promote OD behavior change. The study identifies challenges to achieving promotion objectives, such as villagers' distrust of some assisting team members due to a lack of training or workshops, the 'no subsidy' messages were ineffective because the local government granted latrine for the poor before, the use of face-to-face communication as a sole channel was found ineffective due to unreliable sources and a large number of participants, there is no regulation to sustain behavioral change.

Suggestions: This study recommends training or workshops for community members who serve as the triggering team, encouraging self-built latrines through a financing plan and latrine models tailored to villagers' capabilities and preferences, combining face-to-face communication with villagers' preferred media, and issuing a regulation governing penalties for offenders.
Triglyceride/HDL cholesterol ratio: the role of the laboratory as an indicator of insulin resistance
Authors: Solís Salinas Kevin Alexis , Galárraga Pérez Edison Arturo 
Published: February 2024

Introduction: insulin resistance or insulin resistance (IR) is defined by the reduction in the processes of insulin uptake, to stimulate the use of glucose in different tissues and to eliminate the production and output of hepatic glucose. On the other hand, currently there are different standard methods to evaluate IR, but these types of methods are highly expensive and their processing requires time. Objective: the objective of the literature review was to analyze the triglyceride/HDL cholesterol ratio and the role of the laboratory as an indicator of insulin resistance. Methods: to carry out the bibliographic review article, a documentary exploration method was used through a search for information in databases of journals such as Google Scholar, Pubmed, Scopus, Elsevier, SciELO and Medline. Results: the articles analyzed provide relevant information on the TG/HDL-C ratio and the importance of the laboratory as an indicator to predict and evaluate insulin resistance. Relevant information was also found on dyslipidemias and the different methods used for evaluation of the IR. Conclusion: the triglycerides/HDL-C ratio is of utmost importance in the early diagnosis of insulin resistance, since in the studies reviewed a high value of this ratio is consistent with IR

This article tries to illustrate the circumstances of teaching English in the New Normal following the global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has led to an essential role for online education. The objectives of this study were to examine the evolution of English language learning, from traditional methods to the "New Normal," focusing on the integration of technology in contemporary language education, explore the ways to teach English through online platforms and analyze the advantages, disadvantages, and limitations of online learning. The data was collected using quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative data was gathered using a questionnaire while qualitative data were derived from books, research, articles, and relevant news sources. The study sample comprised 200 undergraduate students from Phetchabun Rajabhat University during the 2566 B.E. academic year. This study aligns with active English language learning and is attuned to productive language learning, adapting to the New Normal era's changing dynamics for effective learning and fostering communication-focused English instruction in this context. This is regarded as active learning English language instruction and is also connected to productive learning language instruction, which adapts to the New Normal era in accordance with the changes that occur to adjust and learn effectively the New Normal as same as implementing communication-focused English instruction in the New Normal. Promoting teaching and learning in the twenty-first century has a form and objective that attempts to give students the opportunity to acquire and practice various skills on their own, regardless of time or space constraints. The study results indicate that students held a neutral stance (X̅ = 2.83, S.D. = 1.91). It showed that students could cope with the situation. The COVID-19 pandemic forced a rapid and widespread shift to online learning, with profound effects on education. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated online learning adoption, offering flexibility and safety. The advantages include accessibility and convenience, allowing remote education. However, it revealed the disadvantages such as the digital divide, hindering equitable access. Challenges like decreased social interaction, distractions, and mental health issues also emerged, impacting the overall educational experience.

Background: Excessive scarring has both cosmetic and psychological repercussions. Intra- scar injection, for example, makes a significant contribution to enhancing treatment efficiency.
Objectives: To describe the morphological features, categorize, and assessing the effects of Triamcinolone injection therapy of hypertrophic scars. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study of 80 patients with hypertrophic scars treated with triamcinolone intralesional injection at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital from 5/2018 to 5/2021. Results: There were 80 patients in all, with a male/female ratio of 1/1.05 and a median age of 15-35. There were 129 scars in all, with scar age >1 year accounting for 83%, keloid scars accounting for 64%, and hypertrophic scars accounting for the remaining 36 percent. Scars are most commonly seen on the trunk, accounting for 53.5 percent of all scars, particularly on the anterior chest wall. When the source of scars was discovered, trauma and acne accounted for 24% and 23%, respectively, while the rest were predominantly spontaneous scars, accounting for 49%. Scarring and discomfort of mild to moderate severity were common clinical symptoms; scars larger than 5cm in size had more symptoms than scars smaller than 5cm. Prior to the therapy, the mean Vancouver Score Scale-VSS was 6.55±2.13. After 24 weeks of the therapy, 96.7% of patients had entirely improved itching symptoms, 75% had completely improved pain, and 25% still had minimal pain. After therapy, the mean Vancouver Score Scale-VSS was 2.55±1.81 (p<0.05). At week 24, 3.75% of patients experienced skin shrinkage, 3.75% experienced depigmentation, and 13.75% experienced vasodilation. Conclusion: Triamcinolone intralesional injection should be utilized as a first-line therapy for hypertrophic scarring.
Passive Cooling Performance in Vernakular Javanese Architecture
Authors: Murti Nugroho Agung 
Published: February 2024

Through the development of passive design solutions, architecture has to deal with issues relating to the subject of the energy crisis and building comfort. Vernacular architecture contains design principles that optimize natural systems for the creation of habitable comfort. This needs to be proven through the study of natural design for thermal environments in vernacular architecture, especially in Joglo buildings. This paper aims to evaluate the performance of passive cooling in Javanese vernacular houses through observation techniques and field measurements. Passive cooling performance is limited to visually appropriate aspects of building elements as well as air temperature measurement results that fall within the comfortable temperature limit along with the magnitude of the decrease in air temperature in the building. Visual methods are used to determine the suitability of passive design parameters, while field measurements are carried out to assess comfort levels and air temperature reductions. The object of this research is Joglo House in Karangjati, Ngawi, East Java. The air temperature and humidity measurement tool used is the RC 4H Data Logger with a measurement duration of seventeen days. The results showed that the main elements of passive cooling based on visual observation techniques were orientation, roof volume and porous walls. Passive cooling performance results include two things, namely: first, the average air temperature (27.5°C) in the building is within the comfortable temperature limit; second, the rate of decrease in air temperature in buildings during the day reaches 3.3°C
