Full textAbstract:
The main aim in this paper is to create a friend suggestion algorithm that can be used to recommend new friends to a user on Twitter when their existing friends and other details are given. The information gathered to make these predictions includes the user's friends, tags, tweets, language spoken, ID, etc. Based on these features, the authors trained their models using supervised learning methods. The machine learning-based approach used for this purpose is the k-nearest neighbor approach. This approach is by and large used to decrease the dimensionality of the information alongside its feature space. K-nearest neighbor classifier is normally utilized in arrangement-based situations to recognize and distinguish between a few parameters. By using this, the features of the central user's non-friends were compared. The friends and communities of a user are likely to be very different from any other user. Due to this, the authors select a single user and compare the results obtained for that user to suggest friends.

Full textAbstract:
The ever-growing quantity of audio-visual information accessible today may be effectively managed by recommender systems, which assist users in discovering new and interesting topics. An increasing number of customized suggestion apps have emerged on the World Wide Web in the last decade. Recommendation systems can’t function without precise behaviour modelling of users. The conventional wisdom about friend suggestion algorithms leaves out crucial user data, leading to a misleading portrayal of their actions. The common understanding of friend suggestions is inaccurate because it disregards crucial user information. Hence, this paper proposes that the Deep Learning-Based Media Content Recommendation System (DL-MCRS) improves efficiency and user satisfaction by integrating huge multi-source heterogeneity data and building more precise user and item models on social media platforms. The suggested method uses the semantic personalized recommendation system (SPRS) to bridge the gap between high-level semantic information and low-level media properties. The suggested system uses domain ontology to customise video recommendations to their interests based on a user’s past actions on the site. The experimental findings show that the suggested strategy outperforms the baseline methods concerning efficiency.

Full textAbstract:
Implicit clusters are formed as a result of the many interactions between users and their contacts. Online social platforms today provide special link-types that allows effective communication. Thus, many users can hardly categorize their contacts into groups such as “family”, “friends” etc. However, such contact clusters are easily represented via implicit graphs. This has arisen the need to analyze users’ implicit social graph and enable the automatic add/delete of contacts from/to a group via a suggestion algorithm – making the group creation process dynamic (instead of static, where users are manually added or removed). The study implements the friend suggest algorithm, which analyzes a user’s implicit social graph to create custom contact group using an interaction-based metric to estimate a user’s affinity to his contacts and groups. The algorithm starts with a small seed set of contacts – already categorized by a user as friends/groups; And, then suggest other contacts to be added to a group. The result inherent demonstrates the importance of both the implicit group relationships and the interaction-based affinity in suggesting friends.

Full textAbstract:
The higher educational institutions' students are familiar with technological advancement. As a terrible consequence, they will be trapped in incontrollable consumption by purchasing something they do not need. This circumstance cannot be separated from their classmate's trendy lifestyle and lures. This situation leads to poor organizing money. Besides, according to previous studies, this poor money management is usually affected by low financial literacy. Therefore, this investigation examines the influence of self-control and financial literacy on money management behavior. The population in this research consists of 1,226 active undergraduate students in the accounting and management departments from batches 2016 to 2021 in the business faculty at Maranatha Christian University. Based on the Slovin formula with a 5% fault boundary, the sample size is 302. Considering this situation, we use a stratified random sampling technique by treating the batches as strata. Then, we distribute the questionnaire to them. Unfortunately, only 94 students respond; the response rate is 31.17%. After analyzing their response by a structural equation model based on partial least squares, we conclude that self-control positively affects students' behavior in organizing their money. Unfortunately, financial literacy does not.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigated conditions under which young men responded with reactance to the suggestion to reduce their alcohol consumption. In an experimental study, 84 young men (university students, mean age: 24 years) listened to a recorded telephone call and were asked to imagine that they themselves were the recipients of this call. In this call, either a girlfriend or a male friend suggested that the recipient of the call should reduce his alcohol intake that evening. In one condition, the suggestion was highly restrictive; in the other condition, the suggestion was framed in a nonrestrictive way. Perceived threat, negative thoughts, and feelings of anger after listening to the call were assessed. Further outcome variables were intention and perceived probability of complying with the suggestion. Participants felt more anger after hearing the highly restrictive suggestion and more threatened by the suggestion made by the girlfriend. Interaction effects emerged. Participants reported more negative thoughts and lower intention and perceived probability to comply when a highly restrictive suggestion was made by the girlfriend. The male friend’s highly restrictive suggestion resulted in a perceived probability of complying (54%) that was similar to the probability of the girlfriend’s nonrestrictive suggestion (55%). Women’s efforts to reduce their male partners’ alcohol consumption can result in boomerang effects. Male peers might be more effective in motivating other men to behave in a healthier way. These results support recent findings with regard to the potential of peer positive social control.

Full textAbstract:
In recent times, there have been notable changes in cardiovascular medicine, propelled by the swift advancements in artificial intelligence (AI). The present work provides an overview of the current applications and challenges of AI in the field of heart failure. It emphasizes the “garbage in, garbage out” issue, where AI systems can produce inaccurate results with skewed data. The discussion covers issues in heart failure diagnostic algorithms, particularly discrepancies between existing models. Concerns about the reliance on the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) for classification and treatment are highlighted, showcasing differences in current scientific perceptions. This review also delves into challenges in implementing AI, including variable considerations and biases in training data. It underscores the limitations of current AI models in real-world scenarios and the difficulty in interpreting their predictions, contributing to limited physician trust in AI-based models. The overarching suggestion is that AI can be a valuable tool in clinicians’ hands for treating heart failure patients, as far as existing medical inaccuracies have been addressed before integrating AI into these frameworks.

In this postmodern qualitative account of an interspecies relationship, the author argues for a posthumanist scholarly orientation that critiques anthropocentric trends toward knowledge construction. Following Sarah J. Tracy's1 suggestion regarding more flexible and expansive literary styles, this essay appears in the form of a letter to a canine friend, Venice. The author asks us to consider a symbiogenetic perspective of qualitative research that recognizes philosophical perspectives that are less widely considered within the humanities, particularly those dedicated to an expanded view of world-making within a nature–culture network.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This essay explores the political implications and historical basis of noted Egyptologist Jan Assmann’s assertion—based on a distinction made canonical by Carl Schmitt—that the Biblical prohibition of images polarizes the world into friend and enemy. The focus is on two aspects of Assmann’s position: his claims regarding how the Bible represents Egypt and how he reads the first two commandments of the Decalogue. The essay concludes that Assmann relies more on the reception history than on the biblical text itself and ends with a suggestion regarding how to get at an alternative view of the Bible’s political understanding of idolatry.

Full textAbstract:
This essay examines the French reception of the Carl Schmitt's thought, specifically its Hegelian strand. Beginning with the early readings of Schmitt's thought by Alexandre Kojève and Georges Bataille during the mid-1930s, it attends to the partial adoption of Schmitt's friend/enemy distinction and his theories of sovereignty and neutralization in Kojève and Bataille's Hegelian writings, as well as to their critical responses. The essay then turns to examine the reading of Kojève by the Jesuit Hegelian résistant Gaston Fessard during the war, a reading specifically intended to delegitimate Vichy as a “slave-prince,” resistance to whom would be legitimate. The final section returns to Bataille and his 1948 book The Accursed Share in order to propose that his Maussian understanding of the Marshall Plan suggested an overcoming of the friend/enemy distinction, a suggestion that was later made explicit in a 1957 talk by Kojève at Düsseldorf before Schmitt and a group of his supporters. At stake throughout are both the thoroughly critical reception of Schmitt, the particular political inflection of Hegel carried out by and in Kojève's reading, and certain methodological links between conceptual history and the reception history.

Full textAbstract:
Current approaches to build social networking systems are based on a centralized architecture because it allows a simple browser-based user experience and makes easier and more efficient to implement many algorithms used in a social networking site (e.g., friend suggestion), However this kind of architecture has many drawbacks for its users, e.g., lack of privacy, lack of anonymity, risks of censorship and operating costs. This paper presents a system, called Blogracy, which uses widespread and stable peer-to-peer technologies, such as distributed hash tables and BitTorrent, for coping with intrinsic defects of centralized architectures and for being the basis of solid distributed social networking platforms. Moreover, Blogracy takes advantages of multi-agent systems for simplifying the implementation of social network services in a decentralized setting.

Full textAbstract:
In a letter to his friend Burgundio (Sidon. epist. 9.14), who was about to write a laus Caesaris, Sidonius Apollinaris drew up a short list of the works written on Caesar that Burgundio had to face: scripta Patavinis, opera Svetonii, ephemeris Balbi, and finally a Iuventii Martialis historia. If the mention of Livy, Suetonius, and Balbus is not surprising, the name Iuventius Martialis (or Vivencius in the Parisinus Latinus 9551) raises some problems: first the identification and, subsequently, the nature of his work on Caesar. Following an ancient hypothesis of identification as Quintus Gargilius Martialis, this paper aims to discuss this suggestion by placing it in the political and cultural context of the end of the Severan age, during the reign of Severus Alexander.

This article is devoted to the research of sacrifice as an important feature of A.N. Ostrovsky’s heroines. The detailed analysis of the heroine results in the suggestion of a new word. The word is “vyvedennostʼ” (productivity). It is the basic feature of the central character. The meaning of this word is based on the special heroine, who acts and lives in the real period of time. Her actions are influenced by the other people. Moreover, her dialogues make her unusual and not typical person for that period of time. The purpose of the article is to introduce the complex analysis of the heroines’ images in A.N. Ostrovsky’s works. This analysis builds a system of important aspects of all the ideas of the author’s works. The methods that suit for description are: structural-descriptive, descriptive-functional and comparative-historical methods. The research proves that women’s characters and their lives have become one of the most fundamental elements in the development of Russian literature, which reflects deep social problems of the Russian woman in the society of the XIX century.

Previous work demonstrated the existence of phosphatidylinositol kinase and phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinase in rat liver nuclei, with the suggestion that these activities are in the nuclear membrane [Smith & Wells (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 9368-9373]. Here we show that highly purified nuclei from Friend cells, washed free of nuclear membrane by Triton, can incorporate radiolabel from [gamma-32P]ATP into phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylinositol phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. The degree of radiolabelling of phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate is highly dependent on the state of differentiation of the cells, being barely detectable in growing cells and much greater after dimethyl sulphoxide-induced differentiation; this difference is mostly due to different amounts of phosphatidylinositol phosphate in the isolated nuclei. We suggest that polyphosphoinositides are made inside the nucleus and that they have a role in chromatin function; either the phospholipids themselves play a role, or there is a possibility of intranuclear signalling by inositide-derived molecules.

Full textAbstract:
Alfred Tennyson's poem “The Palace of Art” (1832/1842) is liable to strike the modern reader as all too clear in its meanings. Yet the author evidently feels the need to gloss the theme of the work and to elaborately preview its narrative in a brief poem that he includes with the piece when he sends it to his friend Richard Trench. “I send you here a sort of allegory (For you will understand it),” Tennyson writes in a peculiar formulation that muddies several issues about the aspirations of the work even while expressing certainty about the poem's clarity. The suggestion is that Trench will have access to a particular insight (“you will understand” being something we say when others may not). Or does Tennyson mean that the allegory is so clear that its tendency is unmissable? That would certainly be a reasonable construal of the claim about a poem with few apparent mysteries.

Full textAbstract:
Rotter (1978) has suggested that, within social learning theory, a generalized expectancy related to internal versus external control of reinforcement (“locus of control”) is that of “looking for alternatives.” Rotter suggests that psychotherapy clients may be taught to look for alternatives to their problematic behavior. Within this framework college students were surveyed to examine the relationship between alcohol consumption and expectancy of finding satisfying alternative behaviors to drinking. After assessing the frequency and quantity of alcohol consumption, subjects were presented with a description of a situation in which a same sex friend asked them to go out for a “couple of drinks.” They were then asked to rate on a scale of 1 to 100 how likely it was that there were satisfying alternatives to following the friend’s suggestion. Results supported the hypothesis that heavier drinkers had a significantly lower expectancy that satisfactory alternatives to drinking were available. Results are discussed in terms of research and intervention with heavy-drinking college students.

Full textAbstract:
I’m certainly not alone in noting that the year 2011 brings, for those of us who are students of the work of Frantz Fanon, two different anniversaries. This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Les damnés de la terre, Fanon’s final book and, for many, his most lasting achievement. But it also marks the fiftieth anniversary of Fanon’s death: he died, tragically young, on December 6, 1961, not long after the book’s publication. It is no exaggeration to say that Les damnés de la terre was composed by Fanon from his deathbed, and that he was well aware that he was racing death as he rushed to complete the manuscript, as his publisher François Maspero remarked, “in pitiful haste.” Fanon had managed to complete it by July, although, as he told a friend, “I should have liked to have written something more.” As David Macey notes in his indispensable biography, “Fanon did see copies of his last book, but for its first readers, Les damnés de la terre was a posthumous work.” The book and Fanon’s death thus come to us bound inextricably together, fifty years later. So it would seem that we have an anniversary to celebrate (and in doing so, we would thus be celebrating the continuing relevance of a classic work, as this special issue intends us to do), but also a death to mourn. If I proceed to make a suggestion that will seem at first to be the height of perversity, let me preface it by saying that this suggestion is occasioned by what I believe to be Fanon’s greatest legacy, a legacy of unsparing intellectual and political commitment. For I want to begin by suggesting that this year brings us the mournful fact that fifty years on, Les damnés de la terre remains, in many ways, as relevant to our contemporary world as it was in 1961; but conversely, the anniversary of Fanon’s death offers us a cause for celebration.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT An immunosuppressive variant of Friend murine leukemia virus (F-MuLV), FIS-2, induces suppression of the primary antibody response against sheep erythrocytes (SRBC) in adult NMRI mice more efficiently than the prototype F-MuLV clone 57 (cl.57). It is, however, less potent than F-MuLV cl.57 in inducing erythroleukemia upon inoculation into newborn NMRI mice. Nucleotide sequence analysis shows a high degree of homology between the two viruses. Single point mutations are scattered over both the gag and the env encoding regions. The most notable mutations are the deletion of one direct repeat and a few single point mutations occurring in the binding sites for cellular transcriptional factors in the FIS-2 long terminal repeat region (LTR). To define the genetic determinants responsible for the pathogenic properties of FIS-2, we constructed six chimeras between FIS-2 and F-MuLV cl.57. Adult mice were infected with the chimeras, and their primary antibody responses against SRBC were investigated. The results showed that the fragment encompassing the FIS-2 envencoding region SU is responsible for the increased immunosuppressive activity in adult mice. A leukemogenicity assay was also performed by infecting newborn mice with the chimeras. Consistent with the previous studies, it showed that the deletion of one direct repeat in the FIS-2 LTR is responsible for the long latent period of erythroleukemia induced by FIS-2 in newborn-inoculated mice. However, studies of cell type-specific transcriptional activities of FIS-2 and F-MuLV cl.57 LTRs using LTR-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase constructs showed that the deletion of one direct repeat does not reduce the transcriptional activity of the FIS-2 LTR. The activity is either comparable to or higher than the transcriptional activity of the F-MuLV cl.57 LTR in the different cell lines that we used, even in an erythroleukemia cell line. It seems that the high transcriptional strength of the FIS-2 LTR is not sufficient to give FIS-2 a high leukemogenic effect. This suggestion is inconsistent with the previous suggestion that the transcriptional strength of an LTR in a given cell type is correlated with the leukemogenic potential in the corresponding tissue. In other words, these data indicate that the direct repeats in the F-MuLV LTR may play other roles besides transcriptional enhancer in the leukemogenesis of F-MuLV.

This paper describes the phenomenon of mysticism outside of religion, namely ‘Bacabut’ treatment. Named ‘Bacabut’ treatment because this treatment can remove the disease from the body in the form of objects such as gravel, broken glass, leather of walnut, ironwood, or ‘Sagar’ (palm stick). The treatment is performed by a physic who gains strength / magic that comes from the help of supernatural beings in the spirit world which is called ‘friend’ (gampiran). In the middle of the progress of society in every field, the understanding and primitive behavior sometimes still influence their lives. People’s dependence on primitive belief and the power of supernatural mystical and magical, making they are sick to prefer going to psychic / shaman to cure the illness than going to a doctor or a health worker. Psychologically, their motivation for treatment to the ‘Bacabut’ treatment divided to two kinds of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. The intrinsic motivation consists of their own accord and they would like to know / to try it. There are some extrinsic motivations, such as families’ suggestion, many people who come there for treatment, be sure by seeing the evidence. It’s simple, close and it does not specify rates/cheap.

Full textAbstract:
“I have,” confided Washington Irving to his friend and effective literary agent Henry Brevoort, “by patient & persevering labour of my most uncertain pen, & by catching the gleams of sunshine in my cloudy mind, managed to open to myself an avenue to 〈a〉 some degree of profit & reputation.” The “avenue” in question was The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. – America's first internationally acclaimed work of literature – which, by March 1821, had become a direct route to respectability and the British establishment, opening to Irving the world of stately homes and their real-life avenues, previously only glimpsed from afar. Pieced together after the collapse of his family business, the collection of sketches may have been a carefully engineered career move, but Irving avoided any suggestion of personal cost in catching only those “gleams of sunshine,” and apparently censoring his cloudier, less amenable self. He continued: “I value it the more highly because it is entirely independent and self created; and I must use my best endeavours to turn it to account” (LI.614). In the context, “independent” – a charged word for his generation – is striking, given that The Sketch Book was anything but.

Full textAbstract:
"Jazz music and twentieth-century compositional music have interacted since the beginning. In the same way that one cannot talk about modern music today without mentioning Béla Bartók, his colleague and good friend Zoltán Kodály, also plays an important role in twentieth-century music. The compositional techniques that we associate with Bartók's name can also be found in Kodály's art. In this study, I scrutinize Zoltán Kodály's less well-known play, the 7th Epigram. Kodaly's suggestion on the preface sounds like this: The vocal part can be performed on any string or wind instrument, possibly in the upper or lower octave. It works best for those who use it as reading practice by accompanying their singing. As a jazz musician, compositional music has always influenced me, and I was curious to compare the harmonic relationships between the two styles. It affected me as a revelation when I discovered in the works of Johann Sebastian Bach those seventh chords or alterations that can also be found in the language of jazz. Kodály's Epigrams became interesting for me precisely because of this. Keywords: jazz, chords, alterations, upper extensions"

Introduction/Objectives: Despite the introduction of lung cancer screening using low dose computed tomography (LDCT), overall screening rates in the U.S. remain low, with certain populations including Black and rural communities experiencing additional disparities. The primary objective of this study was to understand the facilitators of lung cancer screening initiation and retention in Alabama reported by people at risk from mostly rural, mostly Black populations in Jefferson County—including the urban center of Birmingham—and 6 rural counties: Choctaw, Dallas, Greene, Hale, Marengo, and Sumter. Methods: We conducted semi-structured telephone interviews with 58 people who underwent lung cancer screening between December 2019 and January 2022. Participant responses were recorded by the interviewer for analysis. Open-ended responses were coded to identify emergent themes. Results: The most reported influences to initiate screening were information or suggestion from a Community Health Advisor (CHAs) or the supervising county coordinator, suggestion from a friend, or consideration of a personal history of smoking. Most participants reported multiple influences. Physicians were not very influential in decisions to initiate screening, but they were extremely influential in participants’ intent to continue screening, both positively and negatively. Knowing the recommended timeline for their annual scans was also a predictor of intention to continue screening. Participants screened during the COVID-19 state of emergency expressed less certainty about dates of next scans and more ambivalence about intention to continue screening. Conclusions: This study shows the benefit of using multiple methods to support increased awareness of and interest in lung cancer screening, particularly when educational messaging through CHAs is used. Clear guideline-based messages from healthcare providers about recommended screening is important for increasing retention. COVID-19 related implementation challenges impacted screening recruitment and retention. Future research is warranted to further explore use of CHAs in lung cancer screening.

The prepared text is a personal reflection on the structure and meaning of social relationships in contemporary families early twenty-first century, with particular emphasis on families with a child with symptoms of physical or intellectual disability. The major emphasis has been placed there for his father's social role, which in the social constellation which is the family, is sometimes not very clear, sometimes even marginalized, and most interesting families we underestimated the extent that it actually deserves. For drawing generalizations based on the assumed problems accumulated empirical material gathered through observation and interview about 500 families involved. For providing intelligence were both parents of a disabled child, as well as his siblings and other relatives. This properly collated and developed accordance with the suggestion of interested participants in the seminars for parents raising a child with disabilities development, helped to expose and develop a 12- theoretical models of structural and relational families, preferring certain attitudes towards the disabled child and his upbringing. Our results for which I made in the development, served me for a plot to show the very much appreciated and is vital in the life of a disabled child, his father's social role as a carer, friend and facilitator.

Full textAbstract:
The combination of electric vehicle (EV) and carsharing is expected to provide social and environmental benefits, like encouraging sustainable travel behaviors (reducing car ownership and vehicle kilometres of travel) and improving the accessibility and flexibility of urban transport. Thus, electric carsharing is encouraged to be adopted for daily trips, and the operators propose the friend-invitation promotion scheme for the membership expansion. This study explores the effectiveness of this scheme and the characteristics of the scheme participants and their invited friends (e.g., age, friend-invitation pattern, and EV rental pattern). The analysis found that 28.4% of these invited friends would make at least one EV rental after registration, whereas 30.4% of the other members who registered in the same period would do so, indicating that these invited friends were less active. Therefore, suggestions are given based on the EV rental pattern of these invited friends (preferring a longer journey using a smaller but cheaper EV) to enhance the effectiveness of the friend-invitation promotion scheme.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Die seelischen Folgen aus der unglücklichen Dreiecksgeschichte in Wetzlar umschreibt Goethe rückblickend als ,historia morbi‘ oder ,taedium vitae‘. Seine eigene Krankengeschichte verbindet er im Werther mit anderen Fällen. Nie zuvor hat ein Ich so rückhaltlos von sich selbst erzählt, ohne den Autor dabei völlig preiszugeben. Nicht der Held, sondern das Büchlein empfiehlt sich als ein Freund, der das Publikum über den Menschen aufklärt. Tragische Leidenschaft und Selbstmord wären bloß schrecklich und kein Fundament für Freundschaft, die daraus kausal entwickelte Geschichte hingegen ist fesselnd und erhellend. Die Innovation des Werther besteht in der Suggestion von Authentizität, erstens durch Versatzstücke aus der Wirklichkeit und zweitens durch Darstellung einer lebendig dramatisierten, ,inneren Geschichte‘ aus der Ich-Perspektive. Das empfiehlt den Roman für mehrere Bühnenadaptionen, von denen hier Willers ,,bürgerliches Trauerspiel“ von 1778 betrachtet wird. Goethes neuartige Darstellungsverfahren machen den Werther zum Kultbuch, das eine erste moderne ,,Ichzeit“ einleitet – noch vor M. Biller, R. Goetz, H. Hegemann, W. Herrndorf oder Chr. Kracht.In retrospect, Goethe describes the emotional consequences of the unfortunate love triangle in Wetzlar as ‘historia morbi’ or ‘taedium vitae’. In Werther, he connects his own medical history with other cases. Never before has an ego spoken so wholeheartedly about itself without revealing the author completely. Not the hero, but the little book is recommended as a “friend” who enlightens the public about the nature of man. Tragic passion and suicide would be merely horrific and not the foundation of friendship, but the reasonably arranged story is compelling and enlightening. Werther’s innovation consists in the suggestion of authenticity, firstly through set pieces from reality and secondly through the depiction of a vividly dramatized ‘inner story’ from the first-person perspective. This recommends the novel for several stage adaptations, of which Willer’s “bourgeois tragedy” from 1778 is considered here. Goethe’s innovative methods of presentation make Werther a cult book, introducing a first modern “ego time” before M. Biller, R. Goetz, W. Herrndorf or Chr. Kracht.

Full textAbstract:
Walter Benjamin’s posthumous reception was significantly broader than the one during his lifetime, par-ticularly in the one country he had never succeeded to visit (although he had intended to), the United States of America. In the current article, we suggest, that while beginning to widen in American intellectual circles, the acknowledgment of the philosopher’s legacy happened later in a narrower academic context, rehabilitating the philosopher who had never had the chance to work in a university due to a failed 1925 habilitation. The majority of Benjamin’s works were disseminated in various non-academic journals and magazines, making the process of translation and publication of his texts more difficult than it usually is for scientists. We suggest that, firstly, Benjamin’s reception in the USA established his image as a provoc-ative essayist stepping far beyond Marxist frameworks (as opposed to how his first publisher and friend Theodor Adorno presented him through a thoroughly-selected collection of writings that had been trans-lated into English for the first time), exploring such topics as Messianism, mass culture, and everyday practices. Our second suggestion is that Benjamin’s legacy appeared to be fruitful for American cultural studies whose representatives rejected ideas of the teleology of culture embedded in the original British program, and turned to “practice theories” which presented everyday practices significant in themselves, not as privileged sites of ideology.

Full textAbstract:
Traditional rehabilitation is a tedious process which is reducing the patients' motivation to perform rehabilitation exercises. Therefore, patients need a program that can entice them to do rehabilitation exercises at home. This research aims to identify the game's needs based on the traditional rehabilitation, design a prototype of a recovery game based on traditional rehabilitation, and test the effectiveness of the rehabilitation game. There are two different game types in this rehabilitation game, with three different movement types used to interact. The prototype developed based on four elements, which are the elements of rehabilitation game, type of movement rehabilitation exercises, technology constraints faced by post-stroke patients, and the basic principle of interface design. Because of patients face physical constraints, Kinect was used in this game to interact with. Using Kinect, the patient is not bound to any device to interact with the game. The game also introduces a social background that encourages patients to have a friend to play either through competition or cooperation.By evaluating by observation and interviews, the game was accepted by post-stroke patients and their family members. They also provide a suggestion for improvement in the future. The contribution of this research is to measure whether the Kinect game console and this game can help patients do additional recovery exercises at home without the supervision of the therapist

Full textAbstract:
In a recent article published in the CQ I argued the likelihood that in comparable underworld scenes Vergil modelled Charon's challenge to Aeneas in Aeneid 6.388–97 on Aeacus' challenge to Heracles in a surviving fragment of the tragedy Pirithous composed by either Euripides or Critias, and I took the episode to be a reinforcement or a possible modification of E. Norden's suggestion that Aeneas' descent into the Underworld is modelled on a catabasis of Heracles. In the play Aeacus sees a figure approaching him and demands to know of the stranger both his identity and his business in coming. Heracles responds by giving his name and explaining that he has come hither at Eurystheus' command to fetch Cerberus alive from Hades and bring him to Mycenae's gates. Heracles must then have overcome Aeacus. for we next find Theseus and Heracles conversing in the Underworld about Pirithous. Earlier in the play Pirithous had lamented that he still languishes in Hades for having attempted, with Theseus as his accomplice, to carry off from the world below the goddess Persephone to be his bride. In the usual version both heroes are caught and punished in the world below and only Theseus is rescued by Heracles. In this play, however, Heracles now heaps praise upon Theseus for his loyalty in electing to stay with his friend Pirithous in Hades. Heracles then rescues both heroes.

The investment decision of individual investor is influenced by macro/micro economic and behavioral factors. Interest rate, economic growth, inflation, government policy, technological developments, etc., are the macro-economic factors, and firm size, book-to-market equity, cash flow yield, earnings yield, and dividend yield, etc. are the micro-economic factors whereas accounting information, advocate suggestion, personal financial needs, social relevance, self-image/firm-image coincidence, etc. are the behavioral factor. This paper has analyzed the perception of investor on the selected behavioral factors that makes influence on individual investor's investment decisions at Nepalese stock market. Using the structured survey questionnaire, this study concludes that behavioral factors have significant influence on investment decision of individual investor. This study revealed that to get rich quickly, reputation of the firm, feelings for a firm’s products and services, and firm status in industry are the major influencing Self–image/Firm-image factor. On the other hand, friend or coworker's recommendations, family member opinion, and broker recommendation are the most significant influencing Advocate Recommendation factors. Similarly, return maximizing, stock marketability, ease of obtaining borrowed funds, and expected dividends are the major Personal Financial Needs factors, and past trends of stock, information of dividend, price level of other stock, and information of the stock market are the major Market Information factors for influencing investment decision of individual investor at Nepalese stock market.

This study explored engagement in interpersonal relationships within the context of combined group and one-on-one mentoring. Using flow theory, we propose that “relational flow” requires an optimal balance between an individual's relational skills and the challenges inherent in relationship development. The Young Women Leaders Program (YWLP) is a relationally based after-school program for early adolescent girls that combines structured group time with one-on-one mentoring. Researchers explored relational engagement through interviews with seventh-grade participants and group observations. Results indicated that four relational processes occurred that made girls feel more comfortable: (1) giving advice and helping, (2) asking questions/reaching out, (3) sharing and opening up, and (4) spending time with/being there for them. These processes helped the adolescent girls feel closer to and more comfortable with both mentors and peers by reducing feelings of anxiety or self-consciousness, thus freeing them to experience relational flow. The group also provided a safe context for girls to stretch their relational skills and appeared to mitigate the relational challenges associated with a new one-on-one mentoring relationship. This study presents a conceptual model of relational engagement and suggests that this may be a critical component for girls in out-of-school programming. A group of girls and their mentors are sitting in a circle talking about “boy problems.” One girl, Ann, shares that she and her friend like the same boy and she is not sure what to do. A mentor suggests that both girls could find another guy. “It's not worth the friendship,” she says. Ann chimes in with “Unless he's really cute!” Another girl, Shantel, agrees with Ann. “Sometimes it is [worth the friendship].” The mentors laugh, saying, “Not in seventh grade! It is not worth losing your friendship over a boy.” But Ann seems stuck on the boy. When asked for a suggestion of something positive her peer could do, Ann says, “Have the guy choose.” A mentor asks what would be the pros of that idea. Shantel answers, “If he picks you, you feel good about yourself.” The mentor nods and adds, “So I guess the con is if he doesn't pick you, you don't feel good.” Ann and Shantel are in agreement that both would leave their friend for the guy. A third girl shakes her head, disagreeing with her peers, saying it's not worth the friendship.

The Critical Friend is a powerful concept partly due to the inherent tension between a challenging critic and a trusting friend. Originally utilized in the PreK-12 sector in both England and the United States, the application of Critical Friends has expanded across a range of contexts. This article further adds to the Critical Friend literature base by operationalizing critical friendship protocol in a higher education context. Consistent and regular application of Critical Friend protocol can develop and challenge the cognitive ability of graduate students suggesting that the Critical Friend model may be a successful andragogical strategy for developing classroom trust essential for enhancing rich Socratic dialogue.

In a departure from traditional bereavement research, which concentrates on the impact of familial death upon surviving family members, this article explores the bereavement of persons who have experienced the death of a close friend. Identifiable subgroups of “survivor-friends” include adolescents and young adults, dyadic partnerships similar to conjugal partnerships, and elderly adults. Evidence for the existence of grief among survivor-friends comes from two small-scale studies we conducted. One consisted of twelve open-ended interviews with and twenty-three essays by college students; the other was a constructed mutual-support group with thirteen participants. Our findings indicate parallel survivor-friend and family member bereavement patterns. We argue that although survivor-friends are a large and growing population due to increases in delayed marriage, cohabitation, single-person households, and the increasing numbers of elderly adults, they are rarely incorporated into American death and dying organizational considerations. Suggestions are made on how to bring these observations to the attention of a wider audience.

The analysis of psychological correction for post-traumatic stress disorder and progressive chronic psychological stress was carried out. Strategy of the first consultation was based on the principle of A.A. Ukhtomsky, the theory of functional systems by P.K. Anokhin, A. Maslows pyramid of needs, taking into account the hierarchy of emotional stress and cognitive function in the structure of PS, social immobilization and the characteristics of the energy supply of the central nervous system. An algorithm for psychological counseling was developed: 1. Provocation to ensure an intense emotional reaction of suppressed aggression to a stimulus (NLP) under the control of the psychological and physiological state (NLP calibration, lie verification and profiling). 2. Inhibition of the activity of the limbic system and zeroing of emotional stress with the use of pattern interrupt (short-term confusion), followed by breathing control under conditions of transient hypoxia and overload of the representative systems. 3. Conducting resource-relaxation trance (Ericksonian hypnosis). 4. Post-hypnotic suggestion, cognitive analysis and embedding of new patterns of behavior and response to stress. 5. Teaching the method of zeroing emotional stress and reaction to external stimuli. Within 3 weeks after a single consultation, emotional stress disappeared, relations in the professional sphere normalized (transferred to a more prestigious job with a slight increase in salary), friendly relations with a neighbor-friend were restored, and mutual understanding was reached with parents. At the same time, against the background of regression of uterine hypertonicity, the painful formation in the pelvic cavity, perceived as an oncological pathology, disappeared, and the woman got pregnant.

AbstractBackground: Medication nonadherence is common in elderly patients and is a major cause of morbidity. However, it is not well-described in the literature and to our knowledge has never been studied in Thais.Objective: To investigate the extent, causes, and contributing factors of medication nonadherence in older patients in a geriatric clinic.Material and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study at Siriraj Hospital, a university teaching hospital in Bangkok. We assessed baseline demographic data, comorbid diseases, Thai Mental State Examination (TMSE), functional status (basic and basic activities of daily living), type and number of medications used, and medication adherence.Results: There were 153 participants in this study. Medication nonadherence, in the administration of prescribed drugs only, was found in 34% of the participants. Nonadherence to administration of prescribed drugs and to the advice regarding over-the-counter drugs was 42.5%. Nonadherence to the administration of prescribed drugs and to the advice regarding over-the-counter drugs, and herbal and dietary supplements was 54.9%. Three most common causes of medication nonadherence were misunderstanding or lack of the knowledge (25.6%), the development of adverse drug events (18.9%), and because of a suggestion by a friend or family member (16.2%).Conclusion: Medication nonadherence is common in elderly Thais attending geriatric clinics. We recommend clinicians be aware of this problem and develop a system to improve medication adherence. The clarification of reasons for prescribing is crucial. We recommend emphasis on educating patients, family members, and the public about the risk of nonadherence and of using nonprescribed medications.

To Moscow! To Moscow! To Moscow!A. P. Chekhov, “Three Sisters”If you were destined to be born in the Empire,It’s best to find some province, by the ocean…I. Brodsky, “Letters to a Roman Friend”The relation between a province and a metropolis, like many other processes, is subject to periodic oscillations. Systole comes after diastole; creative energy tends to move towards the common center one day, and spreads among a number of local centers and objects another day. The trend seems to be changing right now. Some of today’s tendencies convey the suggestion that the centripetal motion is giving way to the centrifugal one. The metropolises’ attractiveness, which was so evident just a short time ago, is melting. It is starting to seem that life in small towns is healthier and safer and can satisfy a lot of cultural needs.Probably, one of the reasons is degradation of cultural policies of global and national centers. Metropolises “come down” with haughtiness and self-complacence and start to treat the provinces as cultural colonies (p. 18). In return, provinces ignore the models proposed by metropolises and pay more attention to their own identity (p. 27). Once again, the experience of national provincial architecture of the first half of the 20th century (pp. 32, 37) is reconsidered and reassessed. Protection of monuments of the local culture and history (p. 89), concern for industrial heritage, unique landscapes (p. 96) and unique appearances of small towns are gaining ground. We are living again in a time of change. How will the drastically changing world affect our attitude to provincial towns, their appearances and lifestyles, as well as the settlement system in general?

Full textAbstract:
This article considers the relevance of the theories of German jurist Carl Schmitt for understanding Papua New Guinea (PNG) politics and international relations, with a focus on relations with China. In pursuing this analysis, the text gives particular emphasis to Schmitt’s friend–enemy distinction. In order to understand the regional context in which China has a growing presence, this article initially highlights the preoccupation of Chinese intellectuals with the ideas of Schmitt. It proceeds to mention the use of Schmitt’s ideas in supporting the particular ideological positions of Chinese liberals, the New Leftists, those who articulate the China Path and even the Chinese state. Through a comparative analysis I both compare how Schmittian ideas have been used by Chinese intellectuals to critique the economic inequality in Chinese society and alternatively the relevance of such critiques to the issues of social inequality in PNG. The discussion subsequently focuses on PNG’s international relations and China’s increasing economic and political influence. While the United States and its regional partner Australia appear to be alarmed by an expanding Chinese presence, others do not necessarily believe that Beijing has overreaching ambitions of global dominance. The article considers the suggestion that Chinese thinking on international relations has been influenced by Schmitt’s concept of the Großraum, an alternative to the Westphalian system, in which international relations are marked by a dominant hegemon and self-contained regional blocks consisting of constellated nations. As PNG finds itself in a critical position and subject to pressures from both the West and China, the text considers PNG sovereignty within a possible regional system in which China serves as the dominant hegemon.

<strong>Background: </strong>Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting majority of the adolescent population with a considerable impact on the psychosocial well-being of a person. <strong>Aim:</strong> 1) To assess the psychological impact of acne vulgaris. 2) To analyse their beliefs about acne and outlook about treatment of acne. <strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> This was a cross sectional study conducted at a tertiary government hospital involving 448 cases of acne, who were analyzed using a predesigned questionnaire and Cardiff acne disability index (CADI). <strong>Results:</strong> Out of 448 cases 220 were males and 228 were females. 210 cases diagnosed with grade 2 acne and 173 replied they had acne on and off. Inspite of this 228 cases had never taken any treatment in past. Of the 220 cases who had taken treatment, 91 cases had been treated by a dermatologist and 60cases had taken treatment based on a friend’s suggestion. Only 53 replied that cost is immaterial. 158 patients preferred using only night cream. 321 were aware that dermatologist was the qualified person to treat acne. 80 subjects had CADI scores > 8 indicating significant psychological impact and 368 showed < 8 score, implying no psychological impact. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> This study shows that the psychological impairment due to acne is not so severe in our set up compared to other reports. It is important to take into account the cost of therapy and counsel adequately regarding the mode of therapy while treating acne which can improve the compliance and outcome.

This study aims to estimate induced abortion incidence and safety in Burkina Faso using direct and indirect methods, overall and by women’s background characteristics. Data come from a nationally representative survey of reproductive aged women (n = 6,388). To address social desirability bias in abortion reporting, we asked about respondents’ closest female friends’ experience with abortion. The one-year abortion incidence in 2020 for respondents was 4.0 (95% CI 2.2–5.9) per 1,000 women aged 15–49 while the adjusted friend incidence was 22.9 (95% CI 15.8–30.0). Although not significant, abortion incidence was higher for adolescents, unmarried women, those with higher education, and those in urban areas among both respondents and their friends. Approximately nine out of ten abortions were unsafe (90% respondents, 95% friends), with respondent and friend findings suggesting higher risk of unsafe abortion among older women, less educated women, and women residing in rural areas. Despite recent increases in contraceptive use and continued legal restrictions, abortion remains common in Burkina Faso and is largely unsafe, with evidence of potential disparities.

ABSTRACTResearch on informal care-giving has largely neglected the contributions of non-kin carers. This paper investigated the characteristics and contributions of non-kin who care for older adults with a long-term health problem, and investigated friends and neighbours as distinct categories of care providers. Using data from 324 non-kin carers in the 1996 General Social Survey of Canada, this study compared individual and relationship characteristics, care tasks and amount of care provided for the two groups. Interpersonal and socio-demographic characteristics were investigated as mediators of potential differences between friends and neighbours in patterns of care. Results demonstrate that friend and neighbour carers differed on age, marital status, geographical proximity and relationship closeness. Friends were more likely than neighbours to assist with personal care, bills and banking, and transportation. Neighbours were more likely to assist with home maintenance. Friends provided assistance with a greater number of tasks and provided more hours of care per week, suggesting a more prominent role in the care of non-kin than neighbours. Age, income, a minor child in the household, proximity and relationship closeness significantly predicted amount of care provided, and relationship closeness largely explained differences between friends and neighbours. Future research on informal care-giving can build on the findings that distinguish friend and neighbour carers to further discriminate the dynamics of non-kin care.

The aim of this research is to determine the social caring character and describe the form of social caring character in Class IV students at SD 3 Buwaran as shown in the film "Upin and Ipin Season 16: Take Care of Yourself from an Early Age".The research method used is descriptive with this type of analysis. Data collection in this research includes note-taking, documentation, observation and interviews. The film analysis technique uses content analysis proposed by Krippendorf, namely: sample unit, recording unit, context unit, and then conclusions are drawn. Meanwhile, the description of the students' social care character was analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis with percentages.The research results show that the social care characters in the cartoon film "Upin and Ipin Season 16: Take Care of Yourself from an Early Age" include: 1) empathy; 2) cooperation; and 3) please help. The implementation of the film "Upin and Ipin Season 16: Take Care of Yourself from an Early Age" on the social care character of fourth grade students at SD 3 Buwaran is: 1) the empathic character is classified as quite good with a percentage of 57.14%, shown by the attitude of feeling the atmosphere/event that befalls others; 2) the character of cooperation is classified as Very Good with a percentage of 100%, shown by the attitude of working together to clean the class and group work/discussions; and 3) the helping character is classified as Good with a percentage of 64.28%, shown by an attitude of wanting to help a friend who is in trouble without expecting anything in return (sincere). The suggestion in this research is that elementary school age children should increase their moral content which can build children's character.

ABSTRACT One of the most crucial issues, nowadays, is to provide personalized services to each individual based on their preferences. To achieve this goal, recommender system could be utilized as a tool to help the users in decision-making process offering different items and options. They are utilized to predict and recommend relevant items to end users. In this case an item could be anything such as a document, a location, a movie, an article or even a user (friend suggestion). The main objective of the recommender systems is to suggest items which have great potential to be liked by users. In modern recommender systems, various methods are combined together with the aim of extracting patterns in available datasets. Combination of different algorithms make prediction more convoluted since various parameters should be taken into account in providing recommendations. Recommendations could be personalized or non-personalized. In non-personalized type, selection of the items for a user is based on the number of the times that an item has been visited in the past by other users. However, in the personalized type, the main objective is to provide the best items to the user based on her taste and preferences. Although, in many domains recommender systems gained significant improvements and provide better services for users, it still requires further research to improve accuracy of recommendations in many aspects. In fact, the current available recommender systems are far from the ideal model of the recommender system. This paper reviews state of art in recommender systems algorithms and techniques which is necessary to identify the gaps and improvement areas. In addition to that, we provide possible solutions to overcome shortages and known issues of recommender systems as well as discussing about recommender systems evaluation methods and metrics in details.

Abstract With shrinking family sizes in many parts of the world, older adults are beginning to rely more on friendships for support in later life. Because individuals get to choose their own friends (unlike family), the typical assumption is that perceiving more social support from friends is protective of mental health. In this study, we examine if the association between social support from friends and depressive symptoms is contingent on other factors, such as age and support from family. We use three waves of data (2014-2018) from a nationally representative study of older adults aged 60 years and above in China (N = 6,304 person-year observations). We estimated growth curve models with an accelerated longitudinal design, using interaction terms to assess whether age, friends, and family ties moderate the relationship between support from friends and depressive symptoms. The results suggest that the protective effects of friend support on depressive symptoms reduces with increasing age and greater family support. We also found the relationship between social support from friends and depressive symptoms was curvilinear – the direction of the relationship depended on the degree of support perceived. Our findings provide a more nuanced view of the benefits of friendships for psychological well-being, suggesting moderation in the positive effects of friend support despite the common assumption that they are always beneficial. Understanding how social support from friends contributes to their health can help guide efforts to maximize gains and minimize losses that matter most to people as they age.

This keyword essay discusses how the terms friend and family are used by same-sex-desiring women in Trinidad to mask and facilitate queer becoming. For many, friends can be like family; for some, those words might be synonymous. The paper questions how cultures of exclusion within Trinidadian society and its queer communities facilitate the women’s formation of kin and kin-like bonds. In Trinidad, the term friend has multivalence, suggesting a sexual relationship, an inevitable betrayal, a confidante, or a go-between. Finally, the essay draws on other models of female homosociality, cooperation, and desire, such as zami and mati, as well as sakhi, Indo-Caribbean traditions of ritual friendship, to help contextualize women’s passionate friendships.
