Authors: Kwamanakweenda Jordan , Pino Julian , Van Hauwermeiren Olivier , Peacock Corey , Tartar Jaime , Cuc Alexandru 
Published: August 2022

Introduction: Emotional self-regulation has been determined to be an important factor regarding outcomes for athletes. Previous research has examined strategies athletes use to regulate their emotions and their motivations for doing so. However, little research has examined how professional fighters utilize emotional self-regulation strategies and their impact on performance. Fighters have been perceived as aggressive and impulsive; hence it is important to examine how they regulate their emotions. The present study investigates the association of emotional self-regulation in professional fighters versus college-aged male nonfighters. The study also evaluates the relationship between emotional self-regulation and winning percentages in professional fighters.
Methods: The study used a sample of professional male fighters (n = 36) and college-aged nonfighters (n = 29). Participants completed measures examining difficulties with emotional self-regulation amongst other measures.
Results: Despite no differences with professional fighters and the comparison group, difficulties with emotion regulation were negatively correlated with winning percentages (DERS-18 total scores p = .003; Awareness p = .036; Goals p = .005, and Nonacceptance p = .005). Findings also suggest significant differences (p ≤ .05) for professional fighters based upon promotion, concussions, and education level.
Conclusions: These findings may contribute to understanding how emotional self-regulation factors into professional fighters’ performative success.

Vaikuttavuutta yhteisöllisyydellä? Työpaikan tuen merkitys tietojenkäsittelytieteen MOOC-kursseilla
Authors: Salovuori Anton , Pesonen Joonas A. , Polso Kukka-Maaria , Ihantola Petri 
Published: August 2022

Aikaisemman tutkimuksen perusteella työpaikan tuki liittyy työssäoppimisen tuloksiin. Avointen ja skaalautuvien (MOOC) verkkokurssien osalta ilmiötä on kuitenkin tutkittu vasta vähän. Selvitimme, miten työssäkäyvät avoimille verkkokursseille osallistuneet opiskelijat erosivat toisistaan työpaikan tuen suhteen, miten osallistujat kuvasivat kurssien vaikutuksia, ja miten työpaikan tuki oli yhteydessä kokemuksiin kurssien vaikutuksista. Kysymyksiin vastattiin analysoimalla noin kuudensadan työssäkäyvän ICT-alan MOOC-kursseja suorittaneen vastaukset sähköpostitse lähetettyyn kyselyyn.
Klusterianalyysin perusteella vastaajat jakautuivat Laajasti tuettuihin, jotka saivat suorittaa kurssia työajallaan ja joiden työyhteisö oli kiinnostunut aiheesta, Työyhteisön huomioimiin, Työaikaa hyödyntäviin, ja Ei-tuettuihin. Näistä Laajasti-tuetut ja Työyhteisön huomioimat kokivat kurssit hyödyllisemmiksi kuin Työaikaa hyödyntävät ja Ei-tuetut. Kurssien vaikutusten laadullisessa analyysissä tunnistettiin mm. seuraavat teemat: ymmärryksen lisääntyminen, hyöty nykyisessä työssä (Ei-tuetut raportoivatodotusarvoa vähemmän), hyöty opinnoissa, halu opiskella lisää, hyöty työuralla jakiinnostuksen lisääntyminen.
Tulokset korostavat työyhteisön sosiaalisen tuen merkitystä avoimilla verkkokursseilla: työajan hyödyntäminen ilman laajempaa yhteisön tukea ei kurssien koetunhyödyn kannalta eroa tilanteesta, jossa tukea ei saa lainkaan. Työyhteisön tuen merkitykseen tulisi kiinnittää huomiota sekä työpaikoilla että verkkokurssien suunnittelussa.
Transforming African Education Systems through the Application of IOT
Authors:   Department of Management, Namibia University of science and technology, Windhoek, Namibia, Nikodemus Angula 
Published: August 2022

The project sought to provide a paradigm for improving African education systems through the use of the IOT . The created IOT model for Africa will enable African countries, notably Namibia, to exchange educational content and resources with other African countries. The objective behind the IOT paradigm in Africa's education sectors is to provide open access to knowledge and information. The study revealed that there are no recognised platforms in African education systems that are utilised by African governments to interact, communicate, and share educational material directly with African institutions. As a result, the current research developed a model for transforming African education systems using the IOT in the Namibian context, which will serve as a centralised online platform for self-study, new skill acquisition, and self-improvement using materials provided by African institutions of higher learning. Everyone is welcome to use the platform, including students, instructors, and members of the general public

What mental illness means in different cultures: Perceptions of mental health among refugees from various countries of origin
Authors: Moses Sarah , Holmes David 
Published: August 2022

Introduction: Mental illness remains a significant issue in refugees worldwide. Internationally, there continues to be stigma surrounding mental health, mental illness, and mental health treatment. Cultural stigma is just one of many barriers to mental healthcare for refugees. Perceptions of mental health are culture-specific and continue to play a role in refugees.
Purpose: The purpose of this review study is to make distinctions between the perceptions of mental health of refugees based on country of origin because knowing these cultural differences has the potential to improve refugee mental healthcare. This knowledge could contribute to treatment approaches and help break some of the barriers to mental healthcare for refugees.
Methodology: An extensive literature review of relevant articles published between 2000-2021 was performed using the databases APA PsycInfo, Global Health, MEDLINE via Ovid, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, and Google Scholar. The following search terms, in addition to other related and relevant terms, were used: “mental health, refugees, mental health barriers, perceptions of mental illness, country of origin.”
Results: There were both numerous similarities and differences between the perceptions of mental health among refugees from different cultures. There were similarities in terms of mental health stigma, with certain cultures thinking of mental health/illness as taboo, as shameful, or associating it with evil spirits. A few of the cultures studied had similar ideas about the causes of mental illness, believing it was due to traumatic events or possession by evil spirits. The refugee groups had some common treatment options, including informal conversation, religious-based ideas, and community-level solutions. Some differences between refugees from different cultures involved certain symptoms associated with mental health, including physical symptoms, and differing degrees of religiosity.
Discussion: Based on studies reviewed about the perceptions of mental health of various refugee cultures, many recommendations are proposed to improve refugee mental healthcare. Suggestions include focusing on cultural competency and community-level solutions, in addition to implementing mobile health clinics and telehealth.
Conclusions: This review discusses the perceptions of mental health, mental illness, and mental health treatment of refugees from numerous countries of origin. It is unique in its inclusion of different groups of refugees. Culture seems to play a significant role in the perceptions encountered. Keeping culture in mind, several recommendations are made to improve refugee mental healthcare, such as more integrative treatment methods and telehealth.

Espacios de afinidad docente en Twitter
Authors: Marcelo-Martínez Paula , Marcelo Carlos 
Published: August 2022

Twitter has become a meeting and affinity space for teachers that allows the generation of online informal learning communities. Through the analysis of a total of 22,897 tweets that included the hashtag #Claustrovirtual distributed between the months of March 2020 and January 2022, we have analyzed the frequency and temporal distribution of publication. Through the Graphext program we have carried out an analysis of social networks, specifying the degree of centrality and betweenness centrality, which has allowed us to know the leadership roles assumed by the most active teachers in the hashtag. Through the analysis carried out, we have identified four roles in social networks: transceivers, transmitters, transcenders and traders. To descriptively analyze why and for what teachers use the #Claustrovirtual, we designed an instrument composed of 8 dimensions that was answered by 81 teachers with a high level of participation in the #Claustrovirtual. Among the results obtained, we found that these teachers use the hashtag in their publications both to locate and turn to teachers with more experience, as well as to raise doubts and questions to the community or ask for support from it.

Of One Blood
Authors: Hopkins Pauline 
Published: August 2022

A mixed-race Harvard medical student stumbles upon a hidden Ethiopian city, the inhabitants of which possess both advanced technologies and mystical powers.
Long before Marvel Comics gave us Wakanda, a high-tech African country that has never been colonized, this 1903 novel gave readers Reuel Briggs—a mixed-race Harvard medical student, passing as white, who stumbles upon Telassar. In this long-hidden Ethiopian city, whose wise, peaceful inhabitants possess both advanced technologies and mystical powers, Reuel discovers the incredible secret of his own birth. Now, he must decide whether to return to the life he's built, and the woman he loves, back in America—or play a role in helping Telassar take its rightful place on the world stage. Considered one of the earliest articulations of Black internationalism, Of One Blood takes as its theme the notion that race is a social construct perpetuated by racists.

Children as Consumers and Co-Creators of Cultural Products: The Impact of Foreign Films on Estonian Children’s Culture in the 1950s
Authors:   Estonian Folklore Archives, Estonian Literary Museum, Estonia, Tuisk Astrid 
Published: August 2022

This article gives a folkloristic insight into how cinema and films influenced Estonian children’s culture in the late 1940s and in the 1950s. During this period, Estonia was occupied by the Soviet Union. Due to the lack of Soviet film production at that time, the cinemas began to show American, German, and other films of the 1930s, so-called foreign films or trophies. The post-World War II trophy films, which differed from Soviet films in both themes and images, but also ideals, characters, and soundtrack, became box-office hits. The source material comes from the relevant essays sent to the Estonian Folklore Archives at the Estonian Literary Museum. As memories show, cinema and films had a strong influence on children and young people. Trophy films had an impact on children’s culture, and children’s games and activities found inspiration in them. Children build the culture of their peers, being both consumers of the culture and creating a culture of their own based on the culture of adults. Adult films helped them to socialise and take part in cultural exchanges.
Para muito além do pulmão: o Covid-19 e a vida das mulheres no Brasil
Authors: Carneiro Rosa 
Published: August 2022

Em meados de março de 2020 tornamo-nos parte da pandemia de Covid-19, haja vista a confirmação dos primeiros casos. Os dados epidemiológicos, gradativamente, nos permitiram pensar em “grupos de risco” ou de maior vulnerabilidade física para o vírus. Entre pessoas hipertensas, diabéticas, imunodeprimidas e idosas, foram alojadas também, em abril do mesmo ano, as mulheres grávidas e as puérperas. Essa nova classificação se deveu em parte a uma série de notícias e de práticas que passaram e deixaram de acontecer no campo dos direitos sexuais e reprodutivos (contracepção, aborto legal, pré-natal e parto). No entanto, pari passu com essa caracterização, ao analisar notícias de jornais e de revistas, resultados de pesquisa em artigos científicos e diálogos estabelecidos nas redes sociais, os corpos das mulheres não me pareciam ser considerados “grupo de risco” por conta de seus pulmões, alvo da pandemia, mas repetidamente por seus úteros, vazios ou cheios. Diante disso, neste artigo, a partir de material coletado e arquivado de maneira intermitente no primeiro semestre de 2020, refleto sobre a leitura dos corpos femininos em tempos pandêmicos, tratando de entender como e por que importam e qual a diferença ou semelhanças ao serem considerados do “grupo de risco” e tomados por sua capacidade de reprodução.
