BackgroundGait retraining has been demonstrated to be effective in reducing the peak knee adduction moment (pKAM) in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Since medial-compartment loading has been related to both the pKAM and the peak knee flexion moment (pKFM), reducing the pKAM without pondering the changes in pKFM does not ensure a decreased load in the knee. It is unknown whether combining multiple gait parameters is more effective than isolated gait parameter changes in achieving specific kinetic targets for the pKAM and pKFM.ObjectivesTo characterize the individual changes in the pKAM and in the pKFM in patients with medial KOA walking with a combination of varied gait parameters. We hypothesised that the number of people achieving the dual kinetic change (2KC) of decreasing the pKAM of at least 10% without increasing the pKFM through a combined parameter gait changes is higher than the number of people achieving it through a single gait parameter change.MethodsWe recruited medial KOA patients (K-L I-III) had a diagnosis confirmed through x-ray. A motion capture system and floor-embedded force-plates were used to measure the kinetics (pKAM and pKFM) and the spatio-temporal parameters (foot progression angle (FPA), step width (SW), stride length (SL) and walking speed) during gait. Gait retraining method used was an augmented-reality system. Each patient performed 81 trials combining three different amplitudes of PFA, SW and SL. Gait speed was controlled. The gait modifications were toeing-in by 15° or 10° or normal, walking width narrower (0.10m) or wider (0.15m) or normal SW, and/or walking with shorter (0.10 or 0.15m 0.15m) or normal SL. Descriptive statistics was used. The data of 17 patients, mean 52.7 years old (SD 15.9), mean height 172.9cm (12.8) and mean BMI 24.9 Kg/m2(3.2) was compiled for statistical analysis.Results76.5% of the patients achieved the 2KC with at least one of the combination (Figure 1). Changing one gait parameter led to a 2KC in 7 patients and changing a combination of multiple parameters led to a 2KC in 13 patients. Adding a third to a combination of two gait parameters change “only” added one patient to the total number of patients achieving the targeted 2KC. All patients achieving the 2KC with a single modification were also able to achieve it using two combined modifications. All patients achieving the 2KC with a combination of two gait parameters, achieved it too combining modifications in three parameters. 5.9% of patients achieved the 2KC with a combination of three gait parameters only.ConclusionWhen compared to single-parameter changes, gait-retraining through an augmented-reality setting using a combination of multiple gait parameter changes is more likely to achieve the targeted kinetic changes. Future research should assess the percentage of KOA people retaining the 2KC on both the shorter- and the longer-term.References[1]Gerbrands TA, Pisters MF, Vanwanseele B.

The article draws upon Minoan 'foundation deposits', focusing on issues such as typology, content, context and interpretation. As Hunt (2006: 128) points out... «foundation rituals were not isolated cult practices but belonged to a cultic koine that existed throughout the ancient Mediterranean». It seems that ‘foundation’ ceremonies are connected with the “initiation” and “consecration” of a building’s life, usually through “religious” as well as “magical” practices including the ritual burial and integration of sacrificial offerings into the “corps” of the building for its everlasting protection and prosperity

Full textAbstract:
Kristoffer Schmidt: Christian V’s par force hunt in 17th century’s newspapersThe year 2020 marks the 350th anniversary of the foundation by Christian V of the par force hunt (also known as chasse à courre) in Denmark. This type of hunting was a spec-tacular sight, where riders and a pack of hunting dogs, imported from England, would hunt a selected animal (often a stag) through large, artificially adapted hunting areas such as the open landscapes at Jægersborg Dyrehave or the geometrically shaped hunt-ing routes at Gribskov or Store Dyrehave. After a pursuit lasting usually several hours the animal would collapse from fatigue. The king would then finish off the exhausted beast with a hirschfænger – a large dagger – or a spear. Studies of the royal hunt tend to depict the Danish stag hunt as primarily a means for absolute rulers to showcase a symbolic power. It enabled the absolute ruler to exhibit athletic strength, exemplary riding skills and extreme courage, and thus to paint the picture of a heroic ruler.Although participation in these hunts was limited to a small group of royal hunts-men, court members and foreign guests (for example, ambassadors and royalty), news of the king’s hunting adventures were conveyed through contemporaneous, partly state-controlled newspapers such as Anders Bording’s Den Danske Mercurius and Ahasver-us Bartholin’s Mercurius.This article examines how the royal hunt – primarily the stag hunt – was covered in Den Danske Mercurius and later Mercurius. It reveals that reports on the stag hunt seem to have two main purposes. On the one hand, the newspaper reports underscore the assess-ment of the royal hunts as a symbolic manifestation of power, combining a description of the hunting skills of Christian V with a more general depiction of him as the hero-king. On the other hand, the reports also reveal a need of the Danish-Norwegian absolutist regime to justify the King’s numerous hunting adventures. In several instances Bording, in particular, pointed to the fact that the hunt was considered a pastime for the King and the court. Therefore, Bording and Bartholin stressed that this type of pastime did not interfere with the King’s other, more important duties, such as affairs of state. In other words, the picture of the athletic hero-king did not carry more weight than the image of the King as a capable and efficient ruler. Thus, it appears that the stag hunt, despite its public grandeur, also had a recreational and more private purpose, and that Christian V withdrew from his more formal duties to go hunting.

Having particular emphasis on women's liberties or empowering women, the paper aims to analyse the evolution or expansion of a socio-religious changes initiated by Raja Ram Mohan Roy in the 18th century. Raja Ram Mohan Roy founded the Bengali as Persian weekly publications Sambad Kaumudi as well as Mirat-ul Akhbar to serve as the foundation for his reformist revolution in India. This paper also emphasises Raja Ram Mohan Roy's contributions in reporting, that he subsequently utilised to communicate with the public or disseminate his contemporary views for India's cultural renewal or modernity. He believed that his nation could not advance socially or economically with knowledge. In order to set the way for socio-religious changes in the nation, he vigorously promoted contemporary education. This paper also attempts to analyse Raja Ram Mohan Roy's challenges in persuading the public to support women's education or the outlawing of cruel practises like sati. Roy was the driving force behind giving women more control over their lives as well as securing their honourable place in society. He established the Brahmo Samaj in 1829 in an effort to extend the support for his socio-religious reformation agenda.

Full textAbstract:
The Canadian Digestive Disease Foundation, renamed the Canadian Digestive Health Foundation -- Fondation canadienne pour la promotion de la santé digestive -- in December 2001, is the culmination of ongoing efforts by the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology to establish an independent charitable organization. In February 2001, it was officially endorsed as the Foundation for the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology. The initial efforts to establish this Foundation, led by Dr Richard McKenna in 1963, were unsuccessful. In 1991, Glaxo Canada (now GlaxoSmithKline) became a founding donor, and with the four founding physicians -- Drs Ivan T Beck, Richard H Hunt, Suzanne E Lemire and Alan BR Thomson -- the expenses to establish the Foundation were met. A charitable number was obtained in 1995 (0997427-11). The second founding donor was Janssen Canada (now Janssen-Ortho), and public education support came from Astra Canada (now AstraZeneca Canada). The Foundation initially relied on corporate donors, but now approaches physicians, patients and the general public. The objectives of the Foundation are to advance the science of gastroenterology and to provide knowledge of digestive diseases and nutrition to the general public, to enhance the quality of life of persons who are afflicted with these disorders. The major achievements of the Foundation are the provision of one-year operating grants to new investigators, which have allowed them to accumulate early data and subsequently obtain support from other major granting organizations. It also provides Fellowships and studentship support grants, in conjunction with the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the pharmaceutical industry. The education committee found that there was little research support in this field, considering the large economic burden of digestive disease and the amount of outstanding work done by Canadian researchers. A bilingual Web site, a web-based specialist's discussion program and bilingual pamphlets facilitate public awareness and allow patients to voice concerns.

Introduction: The nursing discipline is considered an integral part of the health care delivery system. Effective nursing practice needs the application of knowledge, skills, critical thinking, and art of care in an efficient, effective, and considerate method. This can be achieved through an amalgamation of understanding, practice, and nursing theories. The theory provides a logical way to organize for and give direction to nursing care. Theory-guided nursing practices act as a fundamental framework for the development of proactive and organized nursing care that assist to improve quality nursing care. Aim: The paper aims to elaborate on the theory-guided nursing practice by utilization of the Roy Adaptation Model in the clinical setup for delivering effective nursing care. Methodology: This paper will illustrate the case study of a breast cancer patient and the application of Sister Calista Roy’s Adaptation Model into nursing practice and the nursing process. Discussion: Theory-guided assessment, nursing care, and interventions provide the foundation for the development of suitable and meaningful nursing practices. Theories and models provide a basis for quality nursing practices and are considered a vital component of patient, family, and community care. Conclusion: The theory-guided practices are more efficient and possess better control over the outcome of nursing care through a purposeful and systematic approach.

Full textAbstract:
In this investigation to the author’s own artistic practice, cultural theory and ontology are applied to the notion of ‘wildness’ and ‘safari’ to establish a paradox between what we know and simultaneously will never know about the wild within dominant Western paradigms of thinking. Through her analysis of these contemporary philosophies, the foundation of Halsted’s artwork is explained as a culmination of both performative controlled movements and uncontrolled action. This is achieved through the medium of watercolour that allows for the pigment and representative objects of the non-Western wild to break through oppressive borders and colonial gazes.With the help of the wind, the scent of prey carries across the savannah. As it reaches the predator’s senses, deep feelings in the form of instincts create sudden and necessary action and the hunt begins. Although instincts are embedded within a predator, it has taken much time to develop the skills needed to ensure a successful hunt and there is still no guarantee for victory. Triumph is determined by constant trial and error, a never-ending journey of learning and the lesson always in motion. But who or what is the predator and who or what is the prey? Perhaps this behaviour is literal and confined to the animal hunt; or perhaps extends to human relations and power over others, whether it be other humans, non-humans and environment; perhaps it is about control and freedom; perhaps it can expand to how I feel about myself as being both the victim and perpetrator; or perhaps it is about all I have mentioned. As a Western assumption, the notion of wildness is acknowledged through ongoing interpretation, as a critical concept that points to the limit of our understanding by reminding us that there is something other. That is to say, knowing wildness suggests that there is an unknowing that is wild.

Abstract The return rate is considered here as a fuzzy probabilistic set. Then the expected return is obtained as a fuzzy subset in the real line. This result is a theoretical foundation for new investment strategies. All considered strategies result of comparison profit fuzzy index and limit value. In this way we obtain an imprecise investment recommendation. Financial equilibrium criteria are a special case of comparison of the profit index and the limit value. The following criteria are generalized here: the Sharpe's Ratio, the Jensen's Alpha and the Treynor's Ratio. Moreover, the safety-first criteria are generalized here for the fuzzy case. The Roy Criterion, the Kataoka Criterion and the Telser Criterion are also generalized. Obtained results show that proposed theory is useful for the investment applications.

Jörg Widmann is a German composer who is acutely conscious but certainly not in awe of his musical forebears. His best-known string quartet, no. 3 ‘The Hunt’ makes dramatic use of – and has great fun with – Schumann. His 2011 concerto Flûte en suite, performed at the 2014 Proms, more than nods to Bach and baroque elegance. In Armonica, commissioned by the International Mozarteum Foundation to celebrate Mozart's 251st birthday in 2007, Widmann surprisingly and yet unsurprisingly features the glass harmonica, the distinctive instrument that Mozart featured in his own last chamber piece, the Adagio and Rondo for glass harmonica, flute, oboe, viola and cello, K617. Mozart teamed the instrument with the quieter representatives from the wind and string families; Widmann places it against the whole orchestra.

BACKGROUND Lobulated intracranial aneurysm is a special type of aneurysm with at least one additional cyst in the neck or body of the aneurysm. Lobulated intracranial aneurysm is a complex aneurysm with complex morphology and structure and weak tumor wall, which is an independent risk factor for rupture and hemorrhage. Lobular aneurysms located in the anterior communicating artery complex account for 36.9% of all intracranial lobular aneurysms. Due to its special anatomical structure, both craniotomy and endovascular treatment are more difficult. Compared with single-capsule aneurysms, craniotomy for lobular intracranial aneurysms has a higher risk and complication rate. AIM To investigate the efficacy and safety of endovascular treatment for ruptured lobulated anterior communicating artery aneurysm (ACoAA). METHODS Patients with ruptured lobulated ACoAA received endovascular treatment in Sanming First Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University from June 2020 to June 2022 were retrospectively included. Their demographic, clinical and imaging characteristics, endovascular treatment methods and follow-up results were collected. RESULTS A total of 24 patients with ruptured lobulated ACoAA were included, including 9 males (37.5%) and 15 females (62.5%). Their age was 56.2 ± 8.9 years old (range 39-74). The time from rupture to endovascular treatment was 10.9 ± 12.5 h. The maximum diameter of the aneurysms was 5.1 ± 1.0 mm and neck width were 3.0 ± 0.7 mm. Nineteen patients (79.2%) were double-lobed and 5 (20.8%) were multilobed. Fisher's grade: Grade 2 in 16 cases (66.7%), grade 3 in 6 cases (25%), and grade 4 in 2 cases (8.3%). Hunt-Hess grade: Grade 0-2 in 5 cases (20.8%), grade 3-5 in 19 cases (79.2%). Glasgow Coma Scale score: 9-12 in 14 cases (58.3%), 13-15 in 10 cases (41.7%). Immediately postprocedural Raymond-Roy grade: grade 1 in 23 cases (95. 8%), grade 2 in 1 case (4.2%). Raymond-Roy grade in imaging follow-up for 2 wk to 3 months: grade 1 in 23 cases (95.8%), grade 2 in 1 case (4.2%). Follow-up for 2 to 12 months showed that 21 patients (87.5%) had good functional outcomes (modified Rankin Scale score ≤ 2), and there were no deaths. CONCLUSION Endovascular treatment is a safe and effective treatment for ruptured lobulated AcoAA.

IntroductionAnxiety are among the most common (Huang, Zhao, 2020, Rajkumar, 2020, Roy et al., 2020) and stable (Wang et al., 2020) mental complaints in a pandemic situation. Based on cognitive approach (Beck, Emery, Greenberg, 2005) one should differentiate unrealistic (dysfunctional) anxiety as well as different types of anxiety (Roy et al., 2020).ObjectivesThe aim was to reveal relationship of different types of anxiety with the search for information about coronavirus and protective behavior.MethodsIn April 2020 (2-3 weeks of self-isolation regimen) 409 respondents not infected by coronavirus (186 men, 223 women) aged 18 to 64 years appraised their anxiety of infection and pandemic consequences (Cronbach’s alphas .77-.82), the degree to which anxiety disturbs their usual activities, the frequency of tracking information about the coronavirus (.75) and various protective actions against the coronavirus (.76).Results17.1% reported that anxiety disturbed their activities. Anxiety of pandemic negative consequences was more prominent than anxiety of infection and was unrelated to age and gender. Anxiety of infection was higher in females (t=-5.48, p<.01, η=.26) and elder people (r=.20, p<.01). Both anxiety of infection and of pandemic consequences was equally related to information tracking and protective behavior (r=.25-.36, p<.01). Dysfunctional anxiety was unrelated to adherence to self-isolation (r=.08) but was related to information tracking (r=.21, p<.01).ConclusionsDysfunctional anxiety is unrelated to self-isolation and should be differentiated from realistic anxiety in studies of pandemic.

There is no existence of life without plants. Plants are the essential foundation of medicine. Some important drugs that are still in use today are derived from traditional medicinal herbs. The hunt for new medicines has engaged ethnobotany and ethnopharmacology—a new route as an important source of knowledge, which led toward different sources and classes of compounds. Nowadays, studies on structure-activity relationships, and their impact on the design of novel drugs have rendered them one of the utmost valuable and thus significant accomplishments of pharmacochemistry, an advance constituent in the group of pharmaceutical sciences. In this paper, we have discussed the historical importance of medicinal plants, geographical importance throughout the world, some important historical observations of medicinal plants, and leading drugs of plant origin which are still being used to treat various ailments, with or without any structural modifications.

Objective The objective was to develop an understanding, using the Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM), of the factors that could cause a deer hunter to misidentify their intended target. Background Hunting is a popular activity in many communities. However, hunters vary considerably based on training, experience, and expertise. Surprisingly, safety in hunting has not received much attention, especially failure-to-identify hunting incidents. These are incidents in which the hunter, after spotting and targeting their quarry, discharge their firearm only to discover they have been spotting and targeting another human, an inanimate object, or flora by mistake. The hunter must consider environment, target, time of day, weather, and many other factors—continuously evaluating whether the hunt should continue. To understand how these factors can relate to one another is fundamental to begin to understand how incidents happen. Method Workshops with highly experienced and active hunters led to the development of a FRAM model detailing the functions of a “Hunting FRAM.” The model was evaluated for correctness based on confidential and anonymous near-miss event submissions by hunters. Results A FRAM model presenting the functions of a hunt was produced, evaluated, and accepted. Using the model, potential sources of incidents or other unintended outcomes were identified, which in turn helped to improve the model. Conclusion Utilizing principles of understanding and visualization tools of the FRAM, the findings create a foundation for safety improvements potentially through training or safety messages based on an increased understanding of the complexity of hunting.

Abstract. Comprehension of the image and naming of the spirit of hunt - known as Baai Barylah Bayanai - has high value nowadays. The spirit has an archetypal nature. Hunting today is losing its main function, gradually turning into a social attribute of a modern man. But hunting still has pedagogical potential. The goal of the research is to find out the attitude of the indigenous peoples of Yakutia to this image–phenomenon. A comparison is made between traditional and modern societies. The methods include theoretical analysis, comparison and logical analysis, interdisciplinary approach, sociological research. The author used a step-by-step transformation of the image of the spirit of hunting, outlining its active existence among modern representatives of northern ethnic communities. There is an obvious need to continue the intergenerational transmission of hunting cultural practices and hunting culture/hunting culture. It is established that this image has passed a full cycle of existence in historical and cultural terms. This cycle took place in the following sequence: anima /animus– totem – fetish. Nowadays, the Bayanai spirit is at the beginning of a new cycle of its existence – with an animistic beginning. The theoretical value of the study is to substantiate the process of formation of spiritual culture in the younger generation. The practical significance is in educating young hunters to upbring traditional respectful attitude to the spirit of hunting, the Bayanai.

I was very honored by the invitation to deliver the 2019 Rappaport Lecture, which forms the basis of this article. The theme of the Society for the Anthropology of Religion’s conference for which it was written, “The Politics of Religious Knowledge and Ignorance,” is one that is very close to the heart of Roy Rappaport’s work. After all, the foundation of his magisterial theory of the role of ritual in the development of humanity is our species’ radical inability, once language allowed expression to take on a life of its own, to know whether others are lying to us or not, and ritual’s ability to address the problem of radical social ignorance that this incapacity sets before us by creating certainty about who people are and what commitments they have taken on (Rappaport 1999). For Rappaport, ritual and religion were both from the start fundamentally entangled with issues of knowledge and ignorance.

Abstract: In this essay, I argue that the meaning of academic activism focusing narrowly on direct, immediate, political, and visible forms of action and agency needs to be supplemented by a more nuanced understanding including dimensions of academic re-action, co-action, and inter-action. In universities today, we are witnessing an entrepreneurial turn of research environments with an ever-increasing focus on the roles of professionalization and employability in researcher education and careers. As a counter-view, the essay aims to open up the conceptual understanding of the interconnectedness between research and its societal contexts. I shall argue that these relationships cannot exhaustively be described through current discourses about societal impact but need a broader and more inclusive vocabulary including terms like societal engagement, societal responsibility, societal value, and societal dialogue and commitment. I shall work from a philosophical foundation in the critical realism of Roy Bhaskar coupled with recent discussions within the literature of academic activism.

ObjectiveTo assess the ‘real-world’ performance of the newer generation of hydrogel coils in ruptured aneurysms.MethodsA multicenter retrospective study was carried out of angiographic and clinical outcome data on consecutive patients with ruptured aneurysms treated with at least 70% of the newer generation of hydrogel coils. Demographics and data on clinical grade, smoking, use of statins, aneurysm size, location, technique used, packing density, immediate angiographic result, angiographic follow-up, rebleeding and clinical outcome were obtained and analyzed.ResultsEighty patients (54F; 26M) with an average age of 55.1 years were entered in the study. Forty-four presented good clinical grade (Hunt and Hess 1 or 2). Forty-two (52.5%) aneurysms were ≤5 mm. 56.7% of the aneurysms were treated with simple coil embolization and 39.6% with balloon-assisted coil. The packing density ranged from 9.3% to 92.6% (mean 48.5%). Immediate occlusion rates (Raymond–Roy Scale) were: complete occlusion (class I) in 57.5%, residual neck (class II) in 32.5% and residual aneurysm (class III) in 10%. Intraoperative rupture occurred in 3 cases (3.75%). Clinical follow-up, available in 73 patients, showed a good outcome (modified Rankin Scale 0–2) in 76.3%. Preliminary data on imaging follow-up were available in 54 patients (average 6.8 months) with complete occlusion in 77.8%, residual neck in 20.3% and residual aneurysm in 1.9%. There was no re-hemorrhage.ConclusionsOur data show that the use of the newer-generation hydrogel coils in the treatment of ruptured aneurysms is feasible, safe and effective with high immediate and mid-term occlusion rates and low morbidity.

Full textAbstract:
A comparison has been made of two methods for electron-density map improvement by the introduction of atomicity, namely the iterative skeletonization procedure of the CCP4 program DM [Cowtan & Main (1993). Acta Cryst. D49, 148–157] and the pseudo-atom introduction followed by the refinement protocol in the program suite DEMON/ANGEL [Vellieux, Hunt, Roy & Read (1995). J. Appl. Cryst. 28, 347–351]. Tests carried out using the 3.0 Å resolution electron density resulting from iterative 12-fold non-crystallographic symmetry averaging and solvent flattening for the Pseudomonas aeruginosa ornithine transcarbamoylase [Villeret, Tricot, Stalon & Dideberg (1995). Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA, 92, 10762–10766] indicate that pseudo-atom introduction followed by refinement performs much better than iterative skeletonization: with the former method, a phase improvement of 15.3° is obtained with respect to the initial density modification phases. With iterative skeletonization a phase degradation of 0.4° is obtained. Consequently, the electron-density maps obtained using pseudo-atom phases or pseudo-atom phases combined with density-modification phases are much easier to interpret. These tests also show that for ornithine transcarbamoylase, where 12-fold non-crystallographic symmetry is present in the P1 crystals, G-function coupling leads to the simultaneous decrease of the conventional R factor and of the free R factor, a phenomenon which is not observed when non-crystallographic symmetry is absent from the crystal. The method is far less effective in such a case, and the results obtained suggest that the map sorting followed by refinement stage should be by-passed to obtain interpretable electron-density distributions.

Full textAbstract:
Though living in the age of Industrialization when the concept of anthropocentricism was prevalent and not a hardcore vegetarian, Thoreau challenged the anthropocentric view of human being’s condescending superiority over animals in Walden. Not only does Thoreau view non-human animals as subjects possessing their own consciousness and sentience, he also regards a consummation of one’s spirituality involves admitting and understanding of one’s inner animality so as to inhibit his savage instinct to hunt or kill animals for food, on the grounds that animals are sentient to feel pain and sufferings and animal food is both unclean and degenerated. Therefore, Thoreau’s humanity to non-human animals inspires and will inspire his modern readers to show more respect for non-human animals and lead them to aspire for a higher stage in their spiritual development. It is in this sense that Thoreau’s concept of animal rights in Walden shakes the solid foundation of anthropocentricism and approximates, if not pioneers, the modern concept of animal rights.

Full textAbstract:
Traditional foods and foodways are a critical part of health and well-being for Alaska Native/American Indian (ANAI) peoples. However, many of these foods are being replaced by ultra-processed foods high in fat, sugar, and sodium. The cultural knowledge needed to gather, hunt, and fish to acquire these foods is not being passed down to younger generations, due to lingering effects of colonialism, leading to poor health outcomes among ANAI peoples. Southcentral Foundation (SCF) and the Center for Indigenous and Health Equity (CIIHE) are using community-based participatory research to identify and prioritize food sovereignty interventions to strengthen the transmission of cultural knowledge across generations and improve ANAI health. Through the implementation of a comprehensive landscape analysis and the development of a community advisory board, SCF has planned an Alaska Native Traditional Foods Gathering to highlight regional efforts to document, revitalize, and share cultural food knowledge and practices to build healthy communities.

Full textAbstract:
Students in architectural disciplines need to acquire skills in technical disciplines and design, but also in collaborative practice and self-reflection (AACA, 2021). Exploring these ideas in an authentic space can legitimise their learning activities and provide the foundation to build competencies critical to their future professional practice (Herrington, 2006). In reviewing a core subject in architectural technology at a research-intensive university, we considered the overarching 21st-century graduate attributes as defined by Ng et al. (2022), as well as how students were engaging in the subject, finding a disconnect between lectures and assessment tasks, and limited opportunities to collaborate and build skills progressively.
 As part of the subject redesign, we aimed to embed constructivist approaches and build students’ confidence within the discipline by providing opportunities to collaborate on authentic, low-stakes, iterative tasks. A high-stakes exam was replaced with weekly authentic ‘treasure hunt’ (TH) activities designed to support student self-reflection, critical thinking, engagement, and skill development and articulated to progress from simple questions (to gain declarative and procedural knowledge within the subject area) towards more complex questions based on pattern recognition and critical thinking (to manipulate information in ways consistent with the learning goals).
 The new tutorial activities were constructed in digital Miro boards, to which student groups were given edit access to collaborate, prioritising mutual support (Bandura, 1977; Bloom, 1984; Lamb et al., 2022).
 
 A 2023 evaluation using surveys and interviews showed most students found TH activities provided meaningful opportunities to interact with peers and teaching staff (51% A lot; 22% Somewhat). They felt their individual learning needs were supported, and their contribution mattered (38% A lot; 27% Somewhat). In interviews, one student highlighted the greater value of collaborative and progressive learning of these activities compared to the final exam: working together on real documentation and finding relevant information consolidated their knowledge and helped them complete their assignments with increased confidence.
 Overall, the new TH activities enabled learners to make choices and reflect on their learning, including at an interdisciplinary level, by allowing a diversity of outcomes that are open to multiple solutions rather than a single correct response. The focus on collaboration helped students develop negotiation and delegation skills, with tutors assisting and coaching in the learning process.
 Incorporating a reward-based strategy (low-stake assessments) to promote student engagement proved successful in reinforcing learning and motivating students because, as anticipated by Deci et al. (2001), the extrinsic motivation (the reward) was balanced with the intrinsic challenge of problem-solving tasks, recognising the need for specialist information to fulfil the given tasks and then access the appropriate resources.
 Digital collaborative workspaces proved successful in creating flexible, equitable learning spaces, allowing students to rework topics at their own pace and build skills outside the pressure of the classroom.
 Incorporating low-stakes, authentic learning tasks allowed students to explore complex concepts, enhance their skills, and foster collaboration. This is key for technical fields, where establishing a connection with the discipline early in a degree can positively impact students' success.

Another institutionalisation of public relations and the mistakes made by the guardians of the “spirit of informationism”The article focuses on a new, hypertextual model of public relations created by the author, who confronts it with the practice of information management in contemporary organisations. The theoretical foundation of the concept of public relations proposed by the author can be found in the division which was introduced by the classics J. Grunig and T. Hunt and which has been expanded to include the virtual new media layer of communication as well as an analysis of its impact on corporate dialogue.Despite the fact that the author’s model of information management helps with putting into practice the model of symmetrical bilateral communication — sometimes seen as utopian in the literature on the subject — and turning PR into a function of strategic management, this does not protect organisations from mistakes made by PR specialists. In such a perspective the main aim of the article is to demonstrate the significance of the right choice of PR personnel to an organisation’s communication success.

Introduction Increase in affective and somatic complaints during pandemic is considered as related to experienced stress (Wang et al., 2020, Roy et al., 2020, Robillard et al., 2020). Expression or suppression of emotions related to pandemic could affect the vulnerability of people to stressful situations (Gross, Thompson, 2007, Roberts et al., 2008). Objectives The aim was to reveal a role of suppression / expression emotions regarding pandemic in the changes in somatic and affective complaints in people without coronavirus during lockdown. Methods In May 2020 110 people 18-65 years old (61.2% females) without coronavirus appraised their strategy of dealing with different emotions regarding pandemic on the 1-5 scale from emotional expression to hiding and suppression (Cronbach’s alphas) and 26 somatic and emotional symptoms including sleep-related symptoms, daytime functioning, affective symptoms, general physical condition (Cronbach’s alphas .81-.90). In December 2020 they reappraised 26 complaints. Results There were no statistically significant changes in somatic and affective complaints during May-December 2020 (p>.20). Increase in sleep-related complaints (β=.23, p<.05, ΔR2=5.0%) and complaints regarding general physical condition (β=.32, p<.05, ΔR2=10.0%) were more pronounced in those reporting higher expression of emotions related to COVID. Conclusions People with higher emotional reactivity to pandemic situation tend to report increase in sleep-related problems and general worsening of their physical condition during lockdown.

The collective monograph “Comintern and the East: To the 100th Anniversary of the Foundation of the Comintern” focuses on the activities of the Comintern in the Eastern countries. Based on the newly discovered documents and materials from Russian and foreign archives, the collective of authors proposes to look at the events of the early 20th century from the perspective of the 21st century, and to expand the understanding of the place and role of the Communist International in the context of internal political, geopolitical, economic, national liberation processes as well as the main directions of its policy. Presented monograph is based on the talks of the international academic conference “The Comintern and the East: To the 100th Anniversary of the Foundation of the Comintern”, organized by the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The book consists of five sections. The first section opens with the studies on the relationship of the Comintern and the first Middle Eastern Communist Parties in Egypt, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Iran. The second section researches the relationship of the Comintern with the countries of the Far East: Japan, China, and Korea. The third section analyzes the role of the Comintern in the history of Russian / Soviet-Mongolian relations in the 1920s — early 1930s. The fourth section extensively covers materials on the liberation movement in India, where M. N. Roy, Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and others played prominent roles. The fifth section contains studies about the relationship between the leaders of the Comintern and the Communist Party of Great Britain in 1920–1924.

Their prevalence is associated with anxiety about the pandemic (Roy et al., 2020), online information search (Moghanibashi-Mansourieh, 2020, Wang et al., 2020).ObjectivesThe aim was to reveal relationship between the type anxiety and coping during pandemic and sleep-related complaints after 3-4 weeks of lockdown.Methods 203 adults aged 18 to 59 years filled situational version COPE (Carver et al., 1989) and scales measuring anxiety of infection and pandemic consequences (Tkhostov, Rasskazova, 2020) in the mid-April 2020 after 2-3 weeks of lockdown in Russia. After 3-4 weeks, they filled in a modified insomnia severity index (Morin, 1991) appraising how much worse their sleep and daytime functioning during this period (Cronbach’s alpha .62-.73).ResultsPrevalence of sleep and day functioning related complaints during lockdown varied 19.3%-30.5%. Complaints were associated with anxiety only if it reaches dysfunctional level (interfering with daily activities, r = .17-.34, p <.05) and coping strategy of mental disengagement (r = .15-.19, p <.05). Sleep complaints were related to substance use to cope with lockdown problems while complaints on daytime functioning correlated were more common among young respondents (r = -0.22, p <0.01).ConclusionsComplaints about poor sleep during a pandemic are not related to the general severity of pandemic anxiety, but to the dysfunctional level of anxiety and attempts to avoid it.

Cancer is a serious and significantly progressive disease. Next to cardiovascular disease, cancer has become the most common cause of mortality in the entire world. Several factors, such as environmental factors, habitual activities, genetic factors, etc., are responsible for cancer. Many cancer patients seek alternative and/or complementary treatments because of the high death rate linked with cancer and the adverse side effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Traditional medicine has a long history that begins with the hunt for botanicals to heal various diseases, including cancer. In the traditional medicinal system, several plants used to treat diseases have many bioactive compounds with curative capability, thereby also helping in disease prevention. Plants also significantly contributed to the modern pharmaceutical industry throughout the world. In the present review, we have listed 33 medicinal plants with active and significant anticancer activity, as well as their anticancer compounds. This article will provide a basic set of information for researchers interested in developing a safe and nontoxic active medicinal plant-based treatment for cancer. The research will give a scientific foundation for the traditional usage of these medicinal herbs to treat cancer.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractT. C. Boyle’s fifteenth novel The Harder They Come (2015) offers a fictional inquiry into the American propensity for violence and takes its title from Jimmy Cliff’s 1972 reggae song and its motto from D. H. Lawrence’s characterization of the “essential American soul [as] hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer” (1978: 68). The article investigates how Boyle creates a metafictional historiography by combining two unrelated historical events – the bare-handed killing of a mugger by an elderly American veteran in Costa Rica and the long police hunt for the schizophrenic murderer Aaron Bassler in the Mendocino Redwoods – with a fictional character who represents the paranoid fringe worlds of sovereign citizens. The article then shows how Boyle embeds his plot in a general atmosphere of menace and incorporates the legend of the heroic mountain man John Colter, thus adding historical depth and evoking the world of wilderness survivalists. It also examines the narrative techniques, such as the choice of a schizophrenic’s point of view, and the stylistic features employed in order to fuse these ingredients into a thrilling tale that reveals the hidden relations between American foundation myths and the threats of contemporary gun violence.

Full textAbstract:
Indigenous social and legal orders are a source for addressing the challenge of overlapping claims in exercising historic treaty rights in the territories of neighbouring non-treaty Indigenous Peoples. The Vancouver Island Treaties (also known as the Douglas Treaties) of the 1850s made commitments that signatory communities could continue to hunt on unoccupied lands and carry on their fisheries as formerly. Today, as urban, agricultural and industrial forestry have constrained where people can exercise their treaty rights locally, individuals from these nations exercise harvesting rights in “extended territories” of their neighbours. Through detailing several court cases where these treaty rights were challenged by the Crown and the texts of modern-day treaty documents, I show how Coast Salish people continue to draw on local values and legal principles to articulate their distinctive vision of territory and community, both engaging and subverting divisive “overlapping claims” discourses. Not only First Nations but the state, through the judiciary, Crown counsel and land claims negotiators, also, at times, acknowledge and recognise the principles of kin and land tenure that are the foundation for addressing the challenges of overlapping claims.

IntroductionCommitment to sports is especially important for well-being in people with disabilities (Malm et al., 2019), although mental health problems are common among Paralympic athletes (Hunt et al., 2019). Importance of representations of and regulation in sport situations was supported for different kind of sports (Moran, 1993, Suinn R., 1982, Hardy et al., 1996) but Paralympic ones.ObjectivesThe aim was to reveal aspects of psychological regulation important for achievement and longer commitment to Paralympic sports comparing to non-Paralympic sports.Methods51 athletes from Paralympic sports (49.1% candidates and masters of sports) filled Questionnaire of Image Representations of Professional Activity of Athletes (Leonov et al., 2020) measuring general importance and self-appraisals of different aspects of image representation and regulation in sport activities: control of temporal, spatial, informational, technical and tactical, energetic aspects, game intelligence, motivational, emotional and social aspects (Cronbach’s alphas .61-.89). Data were compared to 399 athletes without disabilities (48.4% candidates and masters of sports).ResultsComparing to athletes without disabilities, Paralympic athletes higher appraise general importance and their capacities for emotion regulation during sport situation (t=2.26-3.35, p<.01). High-level Paralympic atheletes report marginally better emotion regulation (t=1.74, p<.10). Longer experience in sport in Paralympic athletes is associated with better representations of spatial and social aspects of sport situations and better emotion regulation (r=.25-.29, p<.05).ConclusionsData suggest that improvement of emotion regulation in sport situation in Paralympic athletes could be helpful for longer participation and better achievement.

Full textAbstract:
This article is devoted to the formation and development of system of public libraries in India and their place in the educational, social, cultural and informational space of the country. The formation of the library system in India occurred during the complex colonial and post-colonial periods of its history. It took place in the conditions of underdevelopment, the uneven social, political and cultural development of the regions, ethnolinguistic disunity, and mass illiteracy of the population, dominating in the society of caste, religious and gender prejudices. The article demonstrates that public libraries in India, beginning with their appearance in the first half of the 19th century, had a special mission. They were considered not only as repositories of books, but, first of all, as centers of education, aimed to spread the knowledge, fight with ignorance by introducing to the reading, to raise the cultural and intellectual level of Indian society, thereby contributing to its prosperity. The article describes the main stages and directions of state policy of India in the field of librarianship from the early nineteenth to the late twentieth century, recounts the history of the founding of the National library, emphasized the role of Raja Rammohan Roy Library Foundation. In separate section there is considered the contribution to the library and information science of S.R. Ranganathan, the outstanding leader of Indian culture.

Full textAbstract:
The human adrenal cortex comprises three distinct zones with unique steroid products, namely the zona glomerulosa, which secretes the mineralocorticoids, the zona fasciculate, which secretes the glucocorticoids and the zona reticularis (ZR), which at adrenarche, begins to produce the so-called adrenal androgens. Of all the adrenal zones, we still understand control of ZR emergence the least, and yet the consequences of such dysregulation can be devastating. Premature adrenarche is a growing problem and the correspondingly inappropriate emergence of ZR function can negatively influence puberty and lead to adult infertility. Our understanding is limited and more needs to be done. The purpose of these three reviews is to provide a survey of where we are in our current understanding of what adrenarche is, and indeed if it is unique to humans at all. Furthermore, these reviews describe what is also known of how the functional ZR emerges during adrenarche and what steroids of physiologic relevance result beyond the widely known DHEA and DHEAS elevated at this time. Such advances in human, primate and indeed stem-cell biology are clearly laying the foundation for new directions in the hunt for the factors involved in the regulation and functional emergence of a ZR at the appropriate time, as well as insight into how they may fail. Given support for these new directions, considerable progress can clearly be made.
