"It's Really Complicated": Engaging Key Stakeholders to Inform a Novel Parent-led Sexual Health Education Program for Autistic Youth.

Autistic adolescents frequently encounter difficulties in managing changes associated with puberty, sexuality, and relationships, and parents may be a useful source of sexual and reproductive health education (SRE) for this population. Despite this, few evidence-based programs exist to support parents in this role. Thus, there is a need for the development of such programs, particularly those incorporating the lived experiences of key stakeholders. The present qualitative investigation aimed to determine the SRE needs of autistic youth and to inform a novel, parent-led SRE program. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews conducted with two rounds of focus groups with two stakeholder groups: parents of autistic children (N = 4) and adult autistic self-advocates (N = 4). Focus groups were recorded and transcribed verbatim. The research team conducted rapid qualitative analysis on all four transcripts, and major findings were summarized and triangulated across groups. Four overarching themes were identified: "Empower parents as educators," "Individualize supports and education," "Consider cultural and intersecting identities," and "Prioritize safety." Parents can serve a primary role in providing SRE to autistic youth and would likely benefit from participating in a tailored program that prioritizes safety and considers the influence of culture and other aspects of identity on content delivery. Future research on the implementation of such a program is needed.

Penegakan Hukum Lingkungan Terhadap Masyarakat Adat Yang Melakukan Eksploitasi Di Wilayah Pesisir

Introduction: Environmental law enforcement is one of the processes carried out to provide legal certainty. In principle, indigenous peoples always carry out exploitation in coastal areas, so law enforcement is needed so that it can run optimally, where this experiences obstacles in the process and causes environmental law enforcement to not run effectively.Purposes of the Research: To find out the enforcement of environmental law against indigenous communities who exploit coastal areas and the obstacles in enforcing environmental law for indigenous communities in coastal areas.Methods of the Research: The method used in this study is normative- juridical, which focuses on the main law by examining theories, concepts, legal principles, and laws and regulations related to this research.Results of the Research: Environmental law enforcement can run well through criminal, administrative and civil aspects. Enforcing environmental laws for indigenous communities against exploitation in coastal areas has become very difficult. This is influenced by legal factors, law enforcement, facilities and infrastructure, society and culture itself. These five factors are one of the things that causes environmental law enforcement to not run optimally. For this reason, there must be cooperation between regional governments and law enforcement in order to prevent prolonged exploitation and cause marine areas to become damaged and not well controlled, so that regional governments must coordinate with stakeholders in the regions, in this case the environmental services and village governments. locally to follow up on problems in coastal areas resulting from sand and coral mining by indigenous communities.

The Digital Superhero: Conspiracy and Convergence

ABSTRACT The superhero is a popular figure in contemporary media: not just single characters, plots and movies, but entire universes and ‘phases’ spread across multiple protagonists, narrative arcs, devices, mediums and formats, from films and television shows to video games and books. Across much content, a reliance on conspiracy is evident: to motivate characters, link together plots, and move them across time and space. This article articulates paranoia and conspiracy as an emergent aesthetic bound up with the affordances of digital technology. It thus articulates these aesthetic impulses as the outcome of a cultural logic of convergence embodied in the affordances and demands of digital technologies and ecosystems. Considering the three aspects of convergence culture identified by Henry Jenkins (technology, culture, participation), and how they operate within superhero media under the aegis of digitization, this article discusses their penumbra: conspiratorial technology, conspiratorial culture, and conspiratorial participation.

The Digital Voice of Students: Analysing Emerging Themes in a Corpus of University Reviews

For higher educational institutions, reviews on Google Maps offer a free and easily accessible platform for students to express their needs and voice their concerns voluntarily. Such a platform can be valuable for capturing a wide range of academic and non-academic aspects that may not be manifested via traditional feedback instruments such as surveys. Accordingly, this study explores the themes that emerge in a corpus of online reviews collected from Google Maps of 29 Saudi public universities while also highlighting how such reviews form a public discourse shaped by the medium itself. To this end, this research employed an NLP advanced technique, namely BERT, to categorise the reviews into themes based on their semantic similarity. Then, a thematic analysis was conducted to reveal six main recurrent themes in the corpus: location and accessibility, facilities and infrastructure, academic quality and teaching, student support services, religious sentiment and gratitude, and community and social environment. The findings indicate that while Google Maps reviews capture a number of cultural and social aspects of university life, they inherently foreground physical (e.g., amenities) and logistical (e.g., location) dimensions. The paper also demonstrates how online reviews provide students with a platform to raise issues related to both micro-level (e.g., specific courses, amenities) and macro-level concerns (e.g., inclusivity), hence their potential value in contributing to the evaluative discourse on higher education institutions. These results suggest the need for a systematic engagement with online feedback platforms to promote continuous institutional improvement and cultivate an inclusive, student-centred educational environment.

Cultural exchange: A case study of Huizhou architecture Yin Yu Tang reassembly in the United States

In 1997, the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) acquired the Yin Yu Tang (Hall of Plentiful Shelter), a historic Huizhou building situated in Xiuning County, Anhui province, China. This structure is a significant example of China’s Huizhou architectural heritage. It was shipped to the United States, and underwent meticulous reconstruction at the museum’s premises in Salem, Massachusetts. The objectives of this research were 1) to scrutinize the transplantation of architectural heritage within the Yin Yu Tang project, as well as its related cultural and traditional aspects; 2) to describe how Yin Yu Tang was "revitalized" in a new socio-cultural environment by providing an in-depth interpretation of Yin Yu Tang in a multicultural context; and 3) to examine the essential position of Yin Yu Tang in the overseas dissemination of traditional Huizhou architecture. This study adopts research methods in architectural culturology to conduct an analytical study, gathering information from existing documents in the United States and collecting data through interviews with key individuals in China. It is clearly shown that the "transplantation" of the Yin Yu Tang provides a valuable cross-cultural opportunity for the American public to gain insights into Chinese culture, architecture, customs, and family routines. It also encourages reflection on the importance of preserving historic buildings, not only from an architectural standpoint but also in terms of adapting to evolving values through the lens of architectural culture.

Do Green Bonds Issue Statistically Significant Effect on the Indebteness’ European Companies’ Performance?

Objectives: The objective of this paper is to analyze the impact of issuing Green Bonds on the financial performance of European energy companies. This paper analyses the indebtedness of 30 European companies in the energy sector and verifies if there is any relationship between the Green Bonds issue and companies’ value between 2015 and 2022. Theoretical Framework: Green Bonds have been increasing their visibility in the financing market, representing an innovative debt instrument, becoming a way of reducing the pressure of bank loans and the associated financial costs. Green Bonds present themselves as an important choice for economic agents, with a positive impact on the financial performance of financed projects expected. We therefore thought it would be interesting to analyze whether green bonds have a statistically significant effect on the debt performance of European energy companies. Method: For this purpose, the Bloomberg database was used, and a sample of bonds from Euronext ESG Bonds. A Pooled OLS and Random model were applied. The software chosen for analyzing the empirical model was R Studio. The Chi-Square independence test and Cramer's V were also applied. Results and Discussion: Results indicate that in the years in which energy companies issued Green Bonds they had a better performance, measured by the ROE indicator. The internal variables TTA, LTA, STA, EAF and GAF are statistically significant in the performance (ROE) of the Energy European Companies. The Chi-Square independence test and Cramer's V degree of association between the debt and DUMMY variable were also applied. The conclusion is that when Green Bonds are issued, indebtedness decreases. Issuing Green Bonds is a more sustainable alternative to traditional sources of finance. There is a lot of research in this area, and it is quite diverse. There are researchers interested in this topic on all continents. In this sense, given the difference in Green Bonds legislation and cultural aspects, it is not always straightforward to carry out a comparative analysis of the results obtained. Research Implications: Green finance has become an important subject for researchers and promotes sustainable economic development. The goal is financing green projects, contributing to mitigation and adaptation to climate changes. Represent a resent an innovative debt instrument. In other words, it is an important choice for economic agents. Originality/Value: It's the first study of the European Union's energy companies that emit Green Bonds. It should be noted that issuing Green Bonds is not only important for environmental and sustainability issues, but also means reducing bank loans, which have high financial costs. More sustainable forms of financing are important for growth and keeping up with the changes the world is going through. Companies must be aware of these new forms of financing as routine bank loans are not always the best way to meet companies' financial needs.

DEMOCRATIC EDUCATION: IMPLICATIONS FOR TEACHING WORK

The school curriculum plays a fundamental role in the civic education of students, directly influencing their skills and social values. Through formal education, the curriculum contributes to the development of critical, reflective and participatory skills, necessary for conscious action in society. Civic education involves not only theoretical knowledge, but also the construction of practices and attitudes that promote democratic coexistence and respect for diversity. Thus, education focused on citizenship must consider cultural, ethical and political aspects, promoting the active engagement of students. The general objective of this article is to analyze how the school curriculum contributes to the civic education of students. The specific objectives are: - to identify the pedagogical practices present in the curriculum that foster citizenship; - to verify the presence of content that encourages critical thinking and social participation; - to evaluate the importance of interdisciplinarity in the construction of a civic education. The research problem that guides this study is: In what way does the school curriculum contribute to the civic education of students? The methodology used was bibliographic, based on a literature review of works that address the relationship between school curriculum and citizenship. The results indicate that a curriculum that integrates democratic principles, social values, and practices of mutual respect favors the development of critical and participatory citizens. The discussion reinforces the need for an interdisciplinary approach that takes into account the diversity and multiple realities of students. It is concluded that the school curriculum must be constantly reviewed and adapted to meet social demands and to educate individuals capable of acting ethically and responsibly in society, fully exercising their rights and duties as citizens.

Finally, this paper concludes that although AI has challenges, it will play an increasingly important role in the field of cultural heritage protection in the future.

Challenges and Strategies for Safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage in Modern China

Intangible cultural heritage encompasses a nation’s traditional culture and wisdom, offering a profound reflection of the lives and thoughts of its predecessors. This heritage manifests in diverse forms, including artistic performances, music, handicrafts, and festivals. Despite its cultural significance, the protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage face numerous challenges in modern society. These challenges are exacerbated by rapid urbanization, globalization, and the decline of traditional practices. Previous studies have predominantly explored these issues from cultural and historical perspectives, often overlooking the critical economic factors that influence heritage preservation. This article seeks to fill this gap by examining the difficulties and problems faced by intangible cultural heritage through a comprehensive lens that includes cultural, economic, and social aspects. By analyzing these multifaceted challenges, we aim to uncover the underlying economic dynamics that hinder effective heritage preservation. Moreover, this research will propose innovative solutions to address economic challenges and enhance the protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage. Ultimately, this article aims to provide new perspectives and positive impacts on safeguarding intangible cultural heritage, highlighting the importance of an economic approach to its preservation and transmission to future generations.

Confiscated property from illegality to common good: requirements for a necessary resignification

The property confiscated from organised crime is the outcome of a particular communing process. Italian law provides for a primary compensatory function, implemented in the final destination of their use for collective, institutional, or social purposes. Despite the critical management issues, which prolong the allocation process, the strong symbolic value is enriched by the significance of compensation for the mafia oppression that certain territories suffer. In addition, confiscated properties constitute a potential resource for the territory from an economic point of view, capable of supporting job opportunities and enhancing useful services and activities for the community involved. The resignification of confiscated property requires specific focus on the various phases of the interventions. It is not just a question of a mere change of legal status or intended use but of a profound reorganisation of the architectural, material, technological, environmental, and managerial characteristics. This is consequent and consistent with the interweaving of legal, social, cultural and environmental aspects triggered by confiscation.

A Study of Subtitle Translation from the Perspective of Multimodal Discourse Analysis: A Case of My People, My Country

In the context of globalization, audio-visual works produced by ever-evolving information technology provide a quick and convenient channel for bridging cultural divides and communicating with people from all over the world. People harness these productions not only to satisfy their own entertainment needs but also to gain information about other cultures. As manifold cultures and races become increasingly interconnected, the need for intercultural communication is particularly urgent, and with abundant European and American films and cultural productions taking over the world, the significance of subtitle translation cannot be understated. On the surface, subtitle translation transforms one language into another and puts it on screen at the same time. However, at a deeper level, subtitling involves a wide range of cultural and social contexts in both the source and target languages. Translators need to not only use their translation skills to select words and sentences, but also have a deep understanding of the social and cultural aspects of both languages. This is the only way to smoothly accomplish the language transfer and help the audience accurately make sense of the meaning of the words in the film. At the same time, China has entered a new era and is facing unprecedented changes in a century. Only by spreading its own culture, promoting the achievements of excellent Chinese civilization, and gaining widespread international recognition will it be able to stand firm and progress against the tide of globalization. However, even though Chinese film and television products are constantly being produced and innovated every year, there are certain shortcomings in the dissemination of film and television works and the study of subtitle translation. This thesis takes Professor Zhang Delu’s theoretical framework of multimodal discourse analysis as its perspective and selects the subtitle corpus of the film My People, My Country, which was released around National Day in 2019 to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, as the object of study. Based on the integrated framework of multimodal discourse analysis, the author carefully selects typical examples from My People, My Country to analyze the effects of multimodal discourse analysis on subtitle translation at the cultural, contextual, content, and expression levels, and investigates how different modalities work together to vividly convey the meaning of the film’s discourse. In conclusion, multimodal discourse analysis theory has injected new momentum into the study of subtitle translation applications, breaking away from the traditional monomodal and symbolic studies and contributing to the international dissemination of more domestic audio-visual cultural products.

Factors associated with major adverse cardiovascular events among Arabs and Jews in Israel: a population-based cohort study

Abstract Introduction Arabs in Israel are at higher risk of cardiovascular mortality; however, there are no data on factors associated with disparities in major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) incidence among Arabs and Jews. Purpose To study factors associated with MACE incidence among Arabs and Jews in Israel. Materials and Methods This is a cohort study carried out in urban localities of Hadera District in Israel. The study sample included 1,100 participants, stratified in equal numbers by ethnicity (Arab and Jewish), sex, and five 10-year age group (mean age: 51 years, range: 26-77). Data collected via in-person interviews conducted between 2001-2006 included socio-demographic characteristics and health-related behaviors (smoking, physical activity, and diet). Data on baseline diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and cardiovascular disease were collected from interviews and participants' health records. Information on MACE occurring during follow-up was determined based on hospital discharge diagnoses, recorded in the Israel Ministry of Health hospital admission database. MACE was defined as an acute coronary, cerebrovascular or peripheral artery event, or invasive procedure for its treatment. Factors associated with the time to first MACE were tested in Cox proportional hazards models. Sensitivity analysis included death from any cause as a competing risk, using Fine and Gray’s model. Results During a median follow-up period of 20 years, there were 221 first MACE during follow-up; 91 among Jewish participants and 130 among Arab participants, hazard ratio (HR) Arab vs. Jewish: 1.59; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.22, 2.09, adjusted for age and sex. Arab ethnicity was no longer significantly associated with MACE, following further adjustment for years of education; HR: 1.32; 95%CI 0.95, 1.84. The HR (95%CI) associated with ethnicity after additional adjustment for health-related behaviors, body weight and baseline chronic morbidity was 1.02 (95%CI: 0.73, 1.42). A subgroup analysis among 950 participants, who did not have a baseline diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, produced similar results. These participants experience 147 first MACE during follow-up. The age and sex-adjusted HR (95%CI) associated with Arab ethnicity was 1.72 (1.23, 2.40), compared to 1.08 (0.72, 1.64) in a fully adjusted model. Competing risk analysis did not materially change these results. Conclusions Arabs in Israel are at higher risk for MACE. Lower socioeconomic position and higher prevalence of unhealthy lifestyle and cardiovascular risk factors may explain the excess risk of MACE among Arabs. Improving cardiovascular health among Arabs should consider social determinants of health and cultural aspects.

Stakeholders’ perspectives on informed decision-making for migrant women in CC prevention programs

Abstract Background This study gathered the perspectives of stakeholders regarding participation in cervical cancer (CC) screening and human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccination among migrant women in the Netherlands. Considering their perspectives by developing interventions that are tailored to migrant women’s information needs regarding CC screening and HPV vaccination will support informed decision-making. Methods In total five focus group discussions were held with community leaders, healthcare professionals and communication experts separately. The focus group discussions were transcribed verbatim in Dutch, and analyzed thematically according to the Grounded Theory. Results The analysis resulted in six themes. The first theme describes the existing views and misconceptions regarding CC (screening) and HPV vaccination in the target population according to the stakeholders. The second theme is about the current approach of informing about these health programs, and its belonging barriers. Theme three dives into the differences within the target population, such as generations and level of language. Theme four describes the conditions to which interventions should adhere. In theme five and six suggestions for interventions were introduced, focused on the target population and their (social) network respectively. Conclusions The results of this study showed that stakeholders are willing to play a role to support informed decision-making regarding CC (screening) and HPV vaccination among migrant women, but they need more training to support. Community leaders express a need for training to gather more medical knowledge of CC and its prevention programs. Healthcare professionals expressed a need for more insight into the practical, cultural, religious and emotional aspects that play a role within this target population. Communication experts emphasize the need for customized information materials and a more district-oriented approach. Key messages • Stakeholders operating at different levels are willing to play a role in increasing informed decision-making regarding CC screening and HPV vaccination. • Migrant women’s (social) network need more training and support to be able to provide tailored information regarding CC screening and HPV vaccination.

Development of a predictive model for adherence to pharmacological treatment in ischemic heart disease: consideration of psychosociocultural, neuropsychological, and mental health variables

Abstract Introduction Adherence to pharmacological treatment recommendations is the main preventable cause of rehospitalization and premature mortality in patients diagnosed with ischemic heart disease, which in turn, is permeated by modifiable psychosocial risk factors such as anxiety, depression, stress, type A behavior pattern, inhibitory control, attitudes and behavioral beliefs towards the disease and treatment. The objective of this study was to develop and test a model to predict adherence to pharmacological treatment in patients with ischemic heart disease undergoing coronary revascularization surgery based on psychosocial, neuropsychological and mental health variables. Material and Methods Cross-sectional study with a sample of 691 patients between 45 and 82 years of age (M= 52 years, SD= 12.15), 46% women and 54% men, diagnosed with ischemic heart disease and undergoing coronary revascularization surgery. Anthropometric, cardiovascular and psychosocial risk factors were evaluated. The scales were designed and validated to assess adherence to pharmacological treatment in ischemic heart disease by means of EFA and CFA, which showed adequate internal consistency indicators and psychometric properties. Results Using the AMOS v.24 statistical package, a path analysis was performed for the variable of adherence to pharmacological treatment, with attitudes toward the disease and treatment, behavioral beliefs, and inhibitory control (executive function) as direct predictors, explaining 54% of the variance in adherence to pharmacological treatment in ischemic heart disease, and the model fit indices were: χ2(33) =261. 19; CMIN/DF= 7.91; TLI= .893; NFI= .815; IFI= .901; CFI= .900; AGFI= .822, SRMR= 2.727; RMSEA=.053. Conclusions The findings of this research contribute to the understanding of adherence to pharmacological treatment in ischemic heart disease as a process and not only as an isolated construct, in which mental health intervenes interacting with psychosocial and cultural aspects of the patient with respect to their disease and pharmacological treatment and in turn provides evidence that inhibitory control as an executive function. This provides evidence that inhibitory control as an executive function is useful for understanding adherence to pharmacological treatment, which shows the need to incorporate in the hospital setting comprehensive psychological evaluations and interventions that allow us to predict adherence to pharmacological treatment of ischemic heart disease in order to intervene in the processes involved, which could contribute to the prevention of rehospitalization and premature mortality.

Pakaian Diraja Melayu: Kain Tenggarung dari Sudut Sosio Budaya Melayu.

Tenggarung cloth is a type of traditional Malay woven textile woven by Malay weavers. Around the 19th century AD, Tenggarung cloth was worn by the Royal family and Malay nobility during official government and state ceremonies. This Tenggarung fabric is used as the Malay Royal clothing, especially in the states of Pahang, Terengganu, and Kedah. It is used especially by Malay Royal relatives who have a title. Now Tenggarung cloth has become less and less known and even less produced by Malay textile weavers due to the lack of demand from the local market in addition to the dumping of textiles from outside such as brocade cloth from India and Pakistan. This research is to study Tenggarung cloth as Malay Royal clothing from a Malay socio-cultural point of view. This research uses qualitative methods in the process of collecting research data through two methods, namely primary and secondary. Analytical research is conducted through observation on the visual collection of Tenggarung cloth as well as its historical records. Meanwhile, the purpose of this study is also to provide more information to the community about Tenggarung cloth as a traditional Malay textile from the aspects of culture, history, heritage and the value of the beauty of the Royal Malay clothing.
