Наукове товариство імені Шевченка і Богословське наукове товариство: виміри співпраці у 20–30-х роках ХХ ст.

In article the author analyzed the scientific and publishing cooperation of members of the Shevchenko Scientific Society and the Theological Scientific Society in the 20–30’s years of the XX century based on the printed issues of these institutions. The main areas of consolidation of the work of Galician scientists were scientific meetings of societies and meetings of sections, at which, in the form of reports, researchers exchanged their opinions and discussed urgent problems of Ukrainian science and society in general. Members of NTSh & BNT were active in international scientific congresses and maintained relations with researchers from other countries. The appearance of printed editions of the Shevchenko Scientific Society and the Theological Scientific Society were determined by the social and political situation in Galicia. This issues are demonstrate that the most effective and rational form of organization of Ukrainian science in the period between the two world wars was the activity of public scientific centers and institutions of the Greek Catholic Church. The periodical and book scientific literature of these institutions contains thorough research by theologians, historians, literary critics, linguists, public and cultural figures of the older and younger generations, supplemented by a chronicle of events and illustrative material. These editions were professional, thorough and necessary, so they were often discussed by critics. At the same time, these printed issues emphasize the significance of the Shevchenko Scientific Society and the Theological Scientific Society, which consists in the formation of a national community of scientists, initiators of socio-political and cultural renewal of Ukraine, creators of new scientific, scientific-practical and cultural-educational institutions. Most of these publications presented the principles of the societies’ activities, defined their role and place in the contemporary social and cultural life, and were also a guarantee of the successful development and prosperity of Ukrainianism, the representation of national science on the world stage. The printed editions aroused the interest of scientists and a wide range of intellectuals – secular and spiritual, as evidenced by numerous reviews of it in the press and Academic evenings – scientific lectures in 1934–1938 with the aim of spreading and consolidating the Catholic worldview among a wide range of Ukrainian intelligentsia, which were initiated by the Theological Scientific Society in the 1930’s years.

The Role of Saudi Universities in Promoting a Culture of Community Coexistence in the light of Contemporary Global Experiences

The study aimed to identify the role of Saudi universities in promoting a culture of social coexistence in light of contemporary global experiences. A descriptive method was used. The sample consisted of the faculty members and students at the College of Education in the universities (King Saud - Imam Abdul Rahman bin Faisal- Umm Al-Qura): (248) faculty members and (332) male and female students. The results showed that the reality of the role of universities in promoting a culture of community coexistence from the perspective of university students came to a high degree with an arithmetic average of (3.84), and the results also showed that one of the means of promoting a culture of community coexistence in universities from the point of view of faculty members is to maintain security and stability of society, helping students to properly understand religion and the purposes of Sharia, and protecting students’ culture from the ideas of extremism. The results also showed that one of the obstacles facing universities when seeking to promote a culture of social coexistence is the lack of link between university curricula vocabulary and the culture of social coexistence and the inadequacy of the presentation of some faculty members for activities that help in promoting a culture of coexistence among students. The study recommended the necessity of educating male and female students about the importance of coexistence in building society, through seminars and open meetings organized by the university in the presence of specialists in that aspect.

Challenges, prevention, and countermeasures for social withdrawal (hikikomori) by age group

The term "hikikomori" was recognized by society between 1980 and 2000, when the term "NEET" also appeared and it was regarded as a problem of irresponsible youth. However, accumulation of surveys and research both in Japan and abroad, including those conducted by the Cabinet Office, has revealed that the reasons behind social withdrawal are not only limited to mental illness. There are many people who exhibit withdrawal because they are unable to establish relationships with the community and other people owing to various factors such as social systems, attachment formation, family background, and education. In other words, withdrawal is better described as a "symptom" or "condition" than a disease. Therefore, it is necessary to understand and analyze the diverse backgrounds and needs of individuals with withdrawal and confront them about their state. Currently, many hikikomori people with prolonged withdrawal are now in their 40s and 50s. With their parents' aging, there are cases where people with hikikomori and their families become socially isolated and are unable to make ends meet. It is undeniable that, until now, the society we live in as a whole has little interest in or understanding of hikikomori. In contrast, withdrawal among older adults (tojikomori), which has become a problem in the super-aging society. Tojikomori is defined as "going out less than once a week and not requiring nursing care", which is not equivalent with hikikomori. Owing to the decline in the frequency of going out among the elderly in the recent coronary crisis, the number of pre-frailty in older adults has become a nationwide problem. Thus, both hikikomori and tojikomori are reversible conditions, and can be alleviated by providing necessary support. This paper summarizes the findings of the symposium "Challenges, Prevention, and Countermeasures for Social Withdrawal (Hikikomori) by Age Group" organized by the Committee on Mental Health and Suicide Prevention of the Japanese Society of Public Health at the 79th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Public Health. This article is a compilation of findings that can benefit public health practitioners and researchers.

Publication Rates of Podium Presentations from the Orthopedic Summit: Fellow Resident and Medical Student Annual Meeting 2019-2021

Purpose To determine the publication rate of presentations presented at the Orthopaedic Summit and Evolving Techniques (OSET) Fellow Resident and Medical Student Annual Meeting 2019-2021 Methods All presentations from the OSET annual meeting between 2019 -2021 were identified from the OSET’s official website and confirmed through review of the OSET Official Programs. The 2019 and 2021 meeting were in person and the 2020 meeting was virtual due to the COVID pandemic. This information was then used to direct a search on PubMed and Google Scholar database to determine if the presentation was associated with a publication since the meeting. Publishing information was entered into the database. Results For 2019-2021 there were a total of 227 presentations with 101 associated publications (45%). The highest rate of publications was 63% of presentations published in 2019, followed by 49% rate of publications in 2020, and 27% rate of publications in 2021. The presentations were published at an average of 8.1 months after presentation. Conclusion Our research demonstrated a 45% publication rate over a 3-year period of presentations presented at the OSET annual meetings. Our results are comparable to other publication rates for podium presentations in other societies (e.g. American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, Annual Meeting of the Pediatric Orthopedic Society of North America, Orthopedic Trauma Association Annual Meeting, American Academy for Surgery of the Hand, Annual Meetings of the North American Spine Society, and American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine Annual Meeting). This validates the quality of research presented in podium presentations format at the OSET Annual Meeting.

A framework for advancing sustainable magnetic resonance imaging access in Africa.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology has profoundly transformed current healthcare systems globally, owing to advances in hardware and software research innovations. Despite these advances, MRI remains largely inaccessible to clinicians, patients, and researchers in low-resource areas, such as Africa. The rapidly growing burden of noncommunicable diseases in Africa underscores the importance of improving access to MRI equipment as well as training and research opportunities on the continent. The Consortium for Advancement of MRI Education and Research in Africa (CAMERA) is a network of African biomedical imaging experts and global partners, implementing novel strategies to advance MRI access and research in Africa. Upon its inception in 2019, CAMERA sets out to identify challenges to MRI usage and provide a framework for addressing MRI needs in the region. To this end, CAMERA conducted a needs assessment survey (NAS) and a series of symposia at international MRI society meetings over a 2-year period. The 68-question NAS was distributed to MRI users in Africa and was completed by 157 clinicians and scientists from across Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). On average, the number of MRI scanners per million people remained at less than one, of which 39% were obsolete low-field systems but still in use to meet daily clinical needs. The feasibility of coupling stable energy supplies from various sources has contributed to the growing number of higher-field (1.5 T) MRI scanners in the region. However, these systems are underutilized, with only 8% of facilities reporting clinical scans of 15 or more patients per day, per scanner. The most frequently reported MRI scans were neurological and musculoskeletal. The CAMERA NAS combined with the World Health Organization and International Atomic Energy Agency data provides the most up-to-date data on MRI density in Africa and offers a unique insight into Africa's MRI needs. Reported gaps in training, maintenance, and research capacity indicate ongoing challenges in providing sustainable high-value MRI access in SSA. Findings from the NAS and focused discussions at international MRI society meetings provided the basis for the framework presented here for advancing MRI capacity in SSA. While these findings pertain to SSA, the framework provides a model for advancing imaging needs in other low-resource settings.
