Culturally safe physiotherapy care: how this looks and feels for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Background Understanding the experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as healthcare recipients is essential for delivering culturally safe physiotherapy care; however, the literature inadequately explores these experiences. This study aimed to explore the experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who have engaged with physiotherapists and understand their perspectives on how physiotherapists can provide culturally safe care in the community. Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted with adult (aged >18years) self-identified Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples (n =12) who had received physiotherapy care within a community setting within the previous 3months. A First Nations methodology approach alongside reflexive thematic analysis was used to interpret the data. Results Four themes were generated: (1) building trust through yarning; (2) acknowledging and respecting culture; (3) creating a culturally safe environment; and (4) the importance of professional training. Conclusions Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have expressed that physiotherapists can establish trust with their patients by dedicating time to develop a therapeutic relationship and by demonstrating respect for their culture. It is essential for physiotherapists to carefully consider the physical environment in which they deliver care to ensure it is welcoming and culturally safe for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Physiotherapists should undertake professional development to immerse themselves in First Nations culture and history through connecting with community. This study offers insights into the lived experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples receiving care in the community and provides recommendations that may assist physiotherapists, alongside other community-based health professionals, to provide culturally safe care.

Students become more open to differences, reducing prejudice and stereotypes, and are more active in collaborating with peers from diverse backgrounds.

Revolt of 1857 in Cachar District of Assam: A Re-emphasis

The revolt of 1857 had a significant impact in the Cachar district of Assam like other national allied activities. Many national historians asserts that the Cachar as well as Assam remained largely unaffected by the great revolt. But there are evidences which suggests that the echoes of the revolt felt in the Cachar district of southern Assam. The British administration, under figures like Captain Stewart, remained vigilant against potential uprisings, indicating an underlying tension despite a facade of tranquility. The common folk of Barak valley composed innumerable ballads and songs on the incident of the revolt which occurred in this region. There are also official documents to prove that the revolt affected the Cachar district. The revolt in Cachar emerged primarily as an extension of discontent from Bengal, with the local populace largely indifferent to the mutineers. The mutineers of 34th Native Infantry regiment marched to Cachar from Chittagong and the British army tried to suppress them. while the revolt of 1857 marked a pivotal moment in Indian history, its impact in Cachar was characterized by a lack of local support for the mutineers and minimal involvement from the common people. This paper aims to explore the nature and implications of the revolt in Cachar, detailing its limited but notable manifestations. The study indicates that while Cachar did not experience overt mutinies like other parts of India, it was not entirely insulated from the turmoil. The paper also discusses how the British forces managed to suppress potential uprisings, with notable incidents involving the 34th Native Infantry Regiment. Encounters between mutineers and colonial troops led to casualties and highlighted the region's precarious situation, exacerbated by the presence of tribal populations and discontented soldiers.

Tolerance as a Founding Value of World Peace

Societies today have a heightened awareness of their unity and the way in which each individual depends on the other in indispensable solidarity; however, within these societies bitter political, social, economic, racial and ideological disputes persist and with them the danger of a war that could jeopardize world peace. It is in this context that tolerance emerges as a fundamental ethical priority for building and maintaining peace in the world. Tolerance, therefore, does not imply neutrality of thought, on the contrary, each group has space to present their points of view and experiences for everyone's co-reflection, and everyone is asked to respect the essential norms to the functioning of pluralism. The advocacy of tolerance represents a project of emancipation and is based on the strength of human reason. The objective of this thematic proposal is to reflect on the mystery of man and the meaning of his social being through the prism of considering the moral value of tolerance in the political-democratic order and in social coexistence. Democracy, whose assumptions are condensed in the production of consensus in relation to the good of political life and the experience of citizenship, must recognize that social pluralism poses challenges to the idea of tolerance based on the ontology of the person. For a proper approach to the topic in question, which involve a triple joint: 1) The problem of intolerant democracies today; 2) Social pluralism and public security, and 3) Tolerance and world peace, priority will be given to the method of reviewing the vast and rich literature that discusses the subject in question. In conclusion, the study puts forward the thesis that in the face of various existential scenarios that negatively mark the recent history of many peoples and nations - such is the case of violent extremism in the world, electoral offenses and, consequently, barbaric demonstrations post-elections, the human-environment relationship - the moral value of tolerance continues to be an important factor in building world peace and must therefore be cultivated by everyone.

Entre dois mundos: um exame da recepção de ideias da Revolução Francesa em Raízes do Brasil

There is no doubt that the Enlightenment principles of liberty, equality and fraternity have been very present in the history of several Ibero-American nations. In the case of Brazil, however, the state, guided by these noble ideals, has often engendered their opposite. The lack of certain essential services and guarantees for citizens in the Brazilian state is undeniable. Knowing the importance of such principles in Brazil, the aim is to understand how Sérgio Buarque de Holanda uses certain emblematic concepts of Enlightenment philosophy and what role they played, in his perception, in Brazilian political formation.

Mnemonic labor and the construction of civil service at the National Mall and Memorial Parks

AbstractDespite long‐standing recognition in collective memory scholarship that commemorative sites are places of deep cultural meaning, fieldwork evidence collected at the National Mall and Memorial Parks in Washington, DC, suggests that visitors primarily engaged with mnemonic resources in a superficial fashion. This paper explores how interpretive park rangers, who are tasked with engaging the public to discuss the nation's history, nevertheless strived to deliver informational, interpretive services to the visiting public. Findings show that rangers, conceptualized in this paper as street‐level bureaucrats, developed roles and routine lines of action that hinged on how they imagined and constructed their audiences. This paper demonstrates how street‐level bureaucrats variably conceive of their clients at the pre‐interactional stage, thus identifying an underexplored dimension of discretion in frontline service work. Additionally, this paper contributes to collective memory research by contextualizing mnemonic deliberation within contexts of mnemonic agents' workplace dynamics, showing how organizational expectations shape discourses of difficult, contentious histories.

From recognition to cause: analyzing parental knowledge of children’s short stature, preliminary study

Short stature (SS) is a condition where children's growth rates are below the 2.5th percentile for their age and gender. Early intervention is vital due to its association with reduced quality of life and mortality. This study examines the understanding of Qassimi parents regarding their child’s SS. We surveyed 384 Qassimi parents, including those with growing children and those without children willing to participate. Knowledge scores ranged from 0 to 8, with scores over 4 indicating good knowledge. Most of the study participants were Saudis, females, or holding a university degree. The mean score was 4.44 and almost 47% of respondents demonstrated good knowledge. All the study participants were aware of at least one cause of short stature. Of more than 20 causes of short stature, only 24.3% of the study participants could correctly identify 4 or more causes. Multivariable regression revealed that higher knowledge scores were significantly noted among participants younger than 40 years (p-value: < 0.001), students (p-value: < 0.001), unmarried (p-value: 0.001), and/or having no children (p-values: 0.001). Among respondents with children, individuals with children younger than 12 years had significantly better knowledge (p-value: 0.003). In contrast, knowledge was seemingly independent of gender, level of education, nationality, or family history (p-values: > 0.05). Although the knowledge status is overall moderate, it’s recommended to further start public health initiatives and educational programs, while paying special attention to population groups associated with lower knowledge level.

Attitudes and Levels of Concern and Trust Towards COVID-19 Vaccination Among Patients Hospitalized at Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Kashan, Iran

Introduction: This study aimed to explore hospitalized patients' attitudes, concerns, and trust regarding Coronavirus disease 2019 vaccination. Materials and Methods: This descriptive-cross-sectional study was conducted on 128 patients hospitalized at Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Kashan, Iran, in 2022. Participants were selected using simple random sampling. The questionnaire included questions about demographic information, attitudes towards vaccination (7 items), levels of concern (14 items), and trust (15 items). Data were analyzed using SPSS 26 software. Descriptive statistical analysis and chi-square tests applied. Results: Fifty-three (41.4%) of cases had a history of two vaccinations. Sinopharm was used in 28.12% of patients. The average attitude score was 8.21 ± 2.88, significantly associated with age (p = 0.02), nationality (p = 0.01), education (p = 0.01), and vaccination history (p = 0.02). The mean concern score was 35.41 ± 11.87, significantly linked to gender (p = 0.01) and vaccination history (p = 0.02). The average trust score was 40.50 ± 13.64, significantly associated with age (p = 0.04), gender (p = 0.01), vaccination history (p = 0.01), hospitalization history due to COVID-19 (p = 0.03), and COVID-19 infection history (p = 0.03). Conclusion: The vaccination rate among participants was acceptable. However, concerns about vaccination and its complications were the primary reasons for vaccine hesitancy. Given that vaccine acceptance across various community groups is as crucial as vaccine development, it is recommended that health organizations provide information on vaccine benefits and address concerns about potential side effects.

Theory of the nation in the scientific concept of Lev Rebet

The article analyzes the life and work of L. Rebet, his general theoretical views on the formation and development of the nation. Considerable attention is paid to the characterization of L. Rebet’s fundamental scientific works on the theory and history of the Ukrainian nation, in particular: “The Formation of the Ukrainian Nation”; “Theory of the Nation”; “The Origin of Ukrainians, Russians, Belarusians in the Light of Modern Soviet Theories”; “The Light and Shadows of the OUN”, etc. It is shown that in his scientific concept of the formation and development of the nation, Lev Rebet examined in detail the causes of the decline, economic and cultural isolation of the Ukrainian community during the Golden Horde, analyzed the causes of the territorial fragmentation of the Ukrainian principalities and determined the importance of the Galicia-Volhynia State for the continuation of the state life of the Ukrainian people. Using historical examples, L. Rebet identified the negative impacts on the Ukrainian population under the Lithuanian and Polish occupation of Ukrainian lands. L. Rebet rightly noted that during the revival of the Ukrainian people, religion and the Orthodox faith played an important role, opposing Catholicism and polonization and becoming the bearers of Ukrainian tradition and the formation of national consciousness. It was the Ukrainian bourgeoisie, part of the petty gentry, and artisans who proved to be the bearers of culture and state traditions. However, it was only the independent Ukrainian military Cossack stratum that became the military and organizational force that quickly acquired the features of a national state, and in the era of Bohdan Khmelnytsky’s hetmanship, thanks to the military and political success of the Cossacks, one of the most powerful Ukrainian states of that time emerged, which played a significant nation-building role and for several years “crystallized the Ukrainian community, approaching a higher type - the nation”, in which the Cossacks were the main political force. The article reveals that L. Rebet in his works considered nationalism as an ideology that should be based on feelings of national dignity, self-respect and national consciousness. L. Rebet convincingly argued in his writings that the Ukrainian people have the right to political self-determination and the creation of their own state. L. Rebet believed that in order to build one’s own state, first of all, it is necessary to raise the national consciousness and culture of the people. According to L. Rebbetzin, this requires the Ukrainian people to return to their national roots, to their own history and culture, in order to preserve and establish their national identity. In his scientific concept, Lev Rebet emphasized the importance of preserving Ukrainian culture and language, and of preserving the national identity of Ukrainians. Nationalism should be democratic and social. He sought to create a national liberation organization that would unite different segments of the population and work for the benefit of the entire Ukrainian people. L. Rebet favored the creation of national statehood, but believed that the source of power in the state should be the people, not the political elite. Rebet’s views on the importance of moral virtues and cultural values, such as freedom, justice, honesty, diligence, creativity, traditions, religion, and language, are particularly relevant. Rebet believed that these values are important for Ukrainian and other nations.

Health status and heat preparation at a UCI World Tour multistage cycling race

ObjectivesTo assess health status and heat preparation of cyclists at the 2019 Tour Down Under and determine the alignment of heat mitigation strategies with current recommendations. DesignCohort study. MethodsTwenty-three (17 % participation rate) male World Tour cyclists from five teams and 10 countries completed a pre-competition questionnaire evaluating exertional heat illness (EHI) history, pre-race health status, and heat mitigation and recovery strategies use. Associations between arrival days pre-competition, years as professional, nationality, team, history of EHI symptoms and diagnosis on heat mitigation and recovery strategy utilisation were assessed. Results65 % of cyclists reported previously experiencing one or more EHI symptom (cramping: 48 %) and 22 % a diagnosis of heat stroke. In the 10 days preceding the race, 26 % experienced one or more illness symptoms. 65 % trained in the heat (acclimatisation 8–25 days; acclimation: 3–7 days), which was associated with team (P = 0.047, ϕc = 0.61), nationality (P = 0.009, ϕc = 0.86) and EHI symptoms history (P = 0.058, ϕ = 0.43). All cyclists had a hydration plan, with links to team (0.5–1.0 L·h−1, P = 0.043, ϕc = 0.68) and EHI symptom history (1.0–1.5 L·h−1, P = 0.048, ϕ = 0.476). Most had pre-cooling (87 %) and mid-cooling (83 %) strategies, most commonly cold beverages (75 %) and neck collars (78 %), respectively. All cyclists planned on using at least one recovery strategy (massage: 87 %). ConclusionsOur data indicate good alignment with current recommendations for competing in the heat, particularly for hydration, cooling and recovery strategies. Whilst the proportion of cyclists engaging in heat acclimation/acclimatisation is encouraging, greater awareness on adapting and implementing heat training is required.

A Brief Discussion on the Development and Inheritance of Chinese Woodblock Printing Art

Chinese woodblock printing art, as an ancient art form, carries the long history and profound cultural heritage of the Chinese nation. From the emergence of woodblock printing technology in the Tang Dynasty, to the prosperity of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and then to the diversified development of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, woodblock printing not only witnessed the changes in Chinese society, but also reflected the aesthetic tastes and spiritual pursuits of people in different historical periods. Since modern times, woodblock prints have continuously integrated new artistic concepts and techniques while inheriting tradition, showcasing a unique style of the times. However, in the era of globalization and modernization, this traditional art form faces challenges in inheritance and innovation.

THE INFLUENCE OF MYTHOLOGY ON MODERN SOCIAL AND MARKET COMMUNICATIONS

The problems of the influence of the second generation of myths on the consciousness of man and society are considered. The study is conditioned by the growing influence of the latest political and social myths, which are created on the basis of archetypes that formed the cultural foundations of modern civilisations. Crisis situations in society, when individuals in society are unable to explain the events taking place from the point of view of reason, intensify irrational factors in the interpretation of existence, which actualises the appeal to the philosophical understanding of modern mythogenesis.The study shows that the creators of second-generation myths (newer myths that use the archetypes of first-generation myths) can have a different impact on society. By creating social myths, they can either help an individual to identify with a particular culture, social group, etc., contribute to unifying society, stabilising it and mobilising people’s efforts to achieve common goals, or lead to intolerance towards other groups in society. Destructive myth-making can be used by certain groups to destabilise and divide society.Based on a study of the impact of modern myth-making on the consciousness of individuals and society, the author concludes that the destructive influence of second-generation myths can only be countered if individuals are better acquainted with the history, culture, customs and traditions of other nations, which will allow them to rationally explain the content of myths. A philosophical understanding of the content of myths helps to be critical of their content, to understand the hidden meanings of their symbols, and to recognise in whose interests certain views and concepts are imposed.

1000 Animals Left Behind: Responder Experiences of the 2017 Edgecumbe Flood in New Zealand.

The 2017 Edgecumbe flood in New Zealand necessitated the rescue of over 1000 animals, making it the largest companion animal rescue operation in the nation's history at the time. This qualitative study explores the experiences and perspectives of six first responders from various agencies involved in the animal rescue efforts. Through semi-structured interviews, this study identified several key themes, including challenges during the rescue phase, post-rescue issues, the impact on the human-animal relationship and wellbeing, and the health and safety of responders. The rescue phase was characterised by difficulties in evacuating and rescuing animals, the influence of the socio-zoological scale on rescue prioritisation, issues with feeding animals in place, and the diversity of species requiring rescue. Post-rescue challenges included animal identification and tracking, decontamination, management of deceased animals, and long-term impacts on animals and owners. This study also highlighted the interconnectedness of human and animal welfare during the disaster, as well as the health and safety risks faced by responders. The findings underscore the need for comprehensive collaborative emergency response planning that addresses the needs of both humans and animals, as well as the importance of ongoing efforts to build resilience and preparedness in communities. Lessons learned from the Edgecumbe flood can inform future policy, planning, and practice to enhance the effectiveness and compassion of animal-inclusive emergency management.

Leveraging Hybrid Adaptive Sine Cosine Algorithm with Deep Learning for Arabic Poem Meter Detection

Poetry is a significant aspect of any language. Many cultures and the history of nations are recognized in poems. Compared to prose, each poem has a rhythmic structure that is quite different. The language has its set of lyrical structures for poems, known as meters. Detecting the meters of Arabic poems is a complicated and lengthy procedure. The text must be encrypted using the Arudi method to classify the poem's meter, which requires complex rule-based transformation before another set of rules classifies the meters. Applying deep learning (DL) to meter classification in Arabic poems includes constructing a neural network to discern rhythmic patterns inherent in various meters. The model can extract essential features, like word lengths or syllable patterns, by tokenizing and preprocessing text datasets. Architectures such as Long Short-Term Memory Networks (LSTM) or Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are fitting solutions to capture temporal relations in poetic verses. This research introduces a Hybrid Meta-heuristics with Deep Learning for the Arabic Poem Meter Detection and Classification (HMDL-APMDC) model. The main intention of the HMDL-APMDC system is to recognize various kinds of meters in Arabic poems. The HMDL-APMDC technique primarily preprocesses the input dataset to make it compatible with the classification process. Besides, the HMDL-APMDC technique applies Convolution and Attention with a Bi-directional Gated Recurrent Unit (CAT-BiGRU) for the automated recognition of meter classes. Furthermore, the adaptive sine-s-cosine particle swarm optimization (ASCA-PSO) algorithm is applied to optimize the hyperparameter tuning of the CAT-BiGRU model, enhancing the meter detection results. A detailed simulation analysis is made to highlight the improved performance of the HMDL-APMDC technique. The empirical outcomes stated that the HMDL-APMDC technique had a superior outcome of 98.53% over recent models under the MetRec dataset.

Interpretation of cultural heritage: approaches and methods of excursion work

The article deals with the problem of interpreting cultural heritage in the context of modern society, which faces numerous challenges, including globalisation, technological changes and the need to preserve cultural values. Cultural heritage, which encompasses both tangible and intangible elements, is an important aspect of a nation's identity and history. However, in today's environment, traditional approaches to sightseeing do not always meet the needs of the audience, particularly young people who seek interactive and emotionally charged experiences. The article offers an analysis of the main approaches to the interpretation of cultural heritage, including scientific, educational, aesthetic and socio-cultural. The scientific approach focuses on the objective study of heritage sites, while the educational approach involves engaging a wide audience through interactive elements and new technologies. The aesthetic approach focuses on the emotional perception of heritage, while the socio-cultural approach takes into account the context of cultural values and involves local communities in the process of their interpretation. The article also analyses the methods of excursion work, such as thematic and interactive excursions, excursions using new technologies, as well as specialised programmes for specialists. The latest research by Ukrainian scholars is considered, which emphasises the importance of innovative approaches in this area. Thus, the article concludes that an integrated approach to the interpretation of cultural heritage is needed to ensure its preservation and active use, as well as the formation of respect for cultural values in society. It is also important to involve local communities in the processes of preserving and promoting cultural heritage, which will increase their activity and awareness in this area.

Kyrgyz Youth from Past to Present: Opportunities and Threats

Kyrgyz is a deep-rooted nation history of which goes back to ancient times. Before passing to the settled life, Kyrgyz people lived in a nomadic life. As a necessity of nomadic life, they earned their lives by farming and they met their needs thorough animal breeding. As a house, they lived in “boz uy” that is a traditional Kyrgyz house made of felt. While they lived in their traditional house, they taught their children to make various clothes from animal materials and used animal milk and wool. This traditional life style was transferred from the old generation to the young generation through the history. More importantly religious and moral teaching took place in this traditional house, “boz uy.” Parents not only taught their children the traditional life style, but also taught them human relations such as regard for old people, love for children, hospitality and others.
