Sedentary Behavior and Lack of Physical Activity among Children in Indonesia.

Sedentary behavior and lack of physical activity among children in Indonesia is an important issue that needs to be addressed. It is estimated that 57% of children in Indonesia have insufficient physical activity. Studies have shown that children who engage in sedentary behaviors are at an increased risk for various negative health outcomes, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and poor mental health, compared to physically active ones. This article aims to provide recommendations to increase physical activity and reduce passive behavior in children in Indonesia. This is a commentary article developed from observing the recent progress of sedentary behavior and lack of physical activity among children in Indonesia and the potential consequences. The level of inactive behavior in children in Indonesia is relatively high. Factors that contribute to sedentary behavior and lack of physical activity among children in Indonesia are the increasing use of electronic devices and screen time, the lack of safe and accessible places to be physically active, the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as cultural and social norms that prioritize academic achievement over physical activity. To address sedentary lifestyles among children, there is a need for a comprehensive approach that addresses both the individual and societal factors contributing to the problem. This might include increasing access to healthy food options, promoting physical activity, and implementing education programs to raise awareness about the importance of healthy eating and physical activity, as well as limiting screen time.

Biological Applications of Colloidal Nano Crystals Using the MOORA Method

Introduction: Nano crystals are collections of molecule that may be put together to generate crystalline forms of drugs that are covered in a thin layer of surfactant. Quantum dots offer a wide range of uses in biology imaging, bioengineering, and environmental research, but less so in biomedicine for drug delivery. Nano crystals are created as nano absences, which are tiny medication particles. For medications that are weakly soluble, nano crystal is a commercially feasible formulation. A flexible and all-purpose manufacturing technique for nano crystalline is wet milling. Several delivery methods have been devised using nano crystalline structures. The crystals hair remover uses micro innovation to cause hairs to gather and separate from the flesh when it is gently massaged into the skin. Refillable and rechargeable-free for years of use. Skin, arms, limbs, chest, head back are all safe places to apply Crystal Hair Extractor. Research significance: A nonmaterial is a chemical particle made up of atoms in a mono or poly-crystalline form and having at least one length more than 100 micrometers. It is based on classical dots, which are nano particles. Organic nano crystal ferri hydrites have been identified as the basic core of ferritin in biology and are significant elements of many ecosystems. They are produced on CWP substrates by detonation. Methodology: Alternative: Conduction band offset, capacitive density, band gap, and dynamic constant. Evaluation Preference: Si3N4, Al2O3, ZrO, HfO2, Ta2O5. Result: “from the result it is seen that ZrO and is got the first rank whereas is the Si3N4 got is having the lowest rank”. Conclusion: “The value of the dataset for nano crystals in MOORA shows that it results in ZrO and top ranking”.

Clients' and genetic counselors' perceptions of empathy in Japan: A pilot study of simulated consultations of genetic counseling.

The rapidly increasing availability of genetic testing is driving the acceleration of genetic counseling implementation. Empathy is important in medical encounters in general and forms a core component of a successful genetic counseling session; however, empirical evidence on empathy in genetic counseling is minimal. This study aimed to explore the perceptions of empathy in simulated genetic counseling consultations from the perspectives of clients and genetic counselors. Semi-structured interviews and interpersonal process recall were used with participants of simulated genetic counseling consultations to elicit their experiences of empathy. A constructivist grounded theory was used for data analysis. A total of 15 participants, including 10 clients and 5 genetic counselors, participated in 10 simulated counseling sessions. The genetic counselors attempted to demonstrate empathy and were sensitive toward detecting changes in clients. Meanwhile, the clients' perceptions represented their feelings and thoughts elicited through the counselors' empathic approaches. This was the first process study to examine empathy in simulated genetic counseling sessions. Our model of communication of empathy is a process in which counselors try to address implicit aspects of clients, and clients are provided with time and a safe place for introspection, which contributes to discussions on building good relationships with patients. There is also a suggestion of the utility of simulated consultations for healthcare providers to learn empathic communication.

Creating a bereavement memorial protocol using art therapy: Reflecting on two case studies

Art therapy in South Africa has focused on counselling and grief work but not on modelling a persistent complex bereavement memorial protocol as a viable alternative to traditional bereavement counselling. This article addresses this gap in practice and literature in the following ways: Investigating an organically modelled and observed bereavement process reflected in the form of interviews. Analysing the literature that will support this hypothesis, consider how this art-based therapeutic bereavement memorial protocol can provide a viable alternative to traditional bereavement counselling. Investigating how the use of art materials in the form of clay-work in this research can support healing and a safe place to process persistent complex grief processing. The methodology of this article is a qualitative arts-based inquiry extracting the information of an organically modelled process observing two bereavement case studies of two mothers processing persistent complex grief through the action of using the clay processing to the attachment onto a surface, creating bereavement artworks as memory capsules to support their unique mourning processes. The time frame of two years of observing, recording and creating a thematic analysis and synthesis is likened to the mourning process of persistent complex grief. Using a supporting psychodynamic investigation from an extensive literature review enables a unique art therapy bereavement protocol that could be used as an alternative to traditional grief and bereavement counselling. Furthermore, through the action of clay-work with an extension to paper collage to ‘piece together’ memories integrating the loss of a loved one into a life without them.

Higher Prevalence of Adverse Childhood Experiences in Transgender Than in Cisgender Individuals: Results from a Single-Center Observational Study.

Adverse childhood experiences (ACE) have been shown to have a tremendous negative impact on health outcomes later in life. This study presents data on the prevalence of ACEs, psychological distress, and trauma-related symptoms in transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) people compared to cisgender people. TGD adults (n = 35) and a matched sample of nonpsychiatric hospital patients (n = 35) were surveyed between September 2018 and March 2019. Participants completed the Maltreatment and Abuse Chronology of Exposure Scale to assess ACEs, as well as the Brief Symptom Inventory and the Essener Trauma Inventory to assess psychological distress and trauma-related symptoms. TGD patients reported a higher number of ACEs than cisgender patients (0.7 vs. 2.4; p < 0.001; d = 0.94). A total of 28.6% of TGD vs. 5.7% cisgender patients reported four or more ACEs (p < 0.001). The most common forms of ACEs were parental abuse (54.3%) and peer abuse (54.3%). No significantly increased prevalence of sexual abuse was found (p > 0.05). TGD patients also reported a higher prevalence of depression (48.4% vs. 5.7%, p < 0.001), posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms (59.4% vs. 13.8%, p < 0.001), and anxiety (58.1% vs. 28.6%, p = 0.016). Health care providers should be aware of and assess ACEs, especially in vulnerable groups such as TGD people, and create a safe place through open-minded, affirming care.

No Safe Place: Violence among Unaccompanied Refugee Children Seeking Asylum in Kenya

This paper explores the rarely examined experiences of unaccompanied refugee minors in Nairobi, Kenya. Children are thought to comprise up to a third of Nairobi's refugee population, however, there is virtually no data on them. The paper provides a first analysis of a unique dataset to ascertain unaccompanied minor refugees’ experiences of physical, emotional, resource related, and sexual violence. Our research findings indicate widespread violence among refugee children living in Nairobi, and denote the prevalence of several kinds of violence in particular. Our results also reveal which children are most at risk and the type of abuse they are most likely to experience.

State measures to protect the rights of children on the territory of Ukraine under martial law

The relevance of the study is due to the fact that in the conditions of war, Ukrainian children experience physical, psychological, and social difficulties. In these difficult conditions, the state must guarantee children, as the most vulnerable segments of the population, safety and protection. The purpose of the study is to determine what measures are appropriate to implement or have already been implemented to protect the rights of children under martial law and determine their effectiveness. For obtaining complete and objective information the methods of system analysis, concretisation and abstraction, determinism, induction, and deduction are used. The paper analyses the methods and measures of the state to protect the rights of children in Ukraine during the war. The legal framework regulating the protection of children’s rights under martial law is considered. It is noted that the examination of methods of protecting the rights of children under martial law is of great importance for improving the quality of life of children and improving the situation with their safety. The results of the study justify that the state should guarantee a safe place for children to live and study; it should also conduct safe evacuation of children to other cities or countries and provide assistance in moving to other areas. It is also important to ensure that children have access to healthcare. In addition, the state should provide children with the opportunity to receive education in a safe environment, in particular, remotely. In addition to physical safety, children should be protected from the negative consequences of war from a psychological standpoint. The study is practically relevant for law enforcement, as it provides a deep understanding of what measures should be taken to ensure the protection of children’s rights during martial law

How Should Museum Eduation Deal with the Current Loss of Confidence in Research in Society?

ABSTRACT There is an idiom in German that, translated word for word, says someone is “lying as printed.” This expression conveys mistrust toward the new, revolutionary technology of printing and offers compelling parallels to our present situation after the digital revolution. Fake news spreads much faster than it used to, and many people blame social media for the loss of trust in experts and verifiable information we face at the moment. The museum as a research institution has so far been relatively unaffected by this loss of trust. But do we still feel comfortable openly inviting our audience to criticize the institution and its content in the sense of critical education? Although this might seem risky, our present society needs critical education more than ever. It can help us practice the methods of criticism and distinguish fake news from facts. The museum can be a safe place where people can learn about methods of research, democracy, and open discourse. Here, we can practice this open dialogue in personal contact with educators and each other. But additional training is required for educators to successfully mediate difficult and controversial discussions.

Cryptic moulting behaviour of some Carboniferous Ostracoda

AbstractMonospecific accumulations of ostracods, represented by spine‐bearing Janischewskya? sp. and a smooth‐shelled Cavellina? sp., were detected inside the body chamber, siphuncle and camerae of three cephalopod specimens (a nautiloid and two goniatites) from the Carboniferous (Mississippian) Cracoean reefs of North Yorkshire, UK. The ostracods occur as isolated valves packed together and are well‐preserved, with delicate spines of Janischewskya? sp. still intact on numerous specimens. Such a mode of ostracod preservation inside the cephalopod conchs and their paucity in the surrounding matrix outside the shells indicate that the valves were not concentrated due to sedimentary processes. Rather, the ostracods deliberately entered the empty cephalopod shells in order to seek sheltered habitats for moulting. In the case of the smooth‐shelled Cavellina? sp., the ostracod valves preserved inside a camera of the nautiloid have similar size, indicating that a synchronized mass moulting took place in this species. Additionally, the presence of putative eggs closely associated with the spine‐bearing Janischewskya? sp. valves inside a siphuncle of the nautiloid shows that the empty conchs could have also served as safe places for egg deposition. The present finds are thus the first examples of cryptic moulting behaviour in ostracods. They also imply that such behaviour in this group of arthropods has a long evolutionary history, at least since the Carboniferous, and potentially may persist in present day ostracods.

Harnessing the x86 Intermediate Rings for Intra-Process Isolation

Modern applications often involve the processing of sensitive information. However, the lack of privilege separation within the user space leaves sensitive application secrets such as cryptographic keys just as unprotected as a &#x201D;hello world&#x201D; string. Cutting-edge hardware-supported security features are being introduced. However, the features are often vendor-specific or lack compatibility with older generations of the processors. The situation leaves developers with no portable solution to incorporate protection for the sensitive application component. We propose LOTRx86, a fundamental and portable approach for user-space privilege separation. Our approach creates a more privileged user execution layer called <i>PrivUser</i> by harnessing the underused intermediate privilege levels on the x86 architecture. The PrivUser memory space, a set of pages within process address space that are inaccessible to user mode, is a safe place for application secrets and routines that access them. We implement the LOTRx86 ABI that exports the <monospace>privcall</monospace> interface to users to invoke secret handling routines in PrivUser. This way, sensitive application operations that involve the secrets are performed in a strictly controlled manner. The memory access control in our architecture is <i>privilege-based</i>, accessing the protected application secret only requires a change in the privilege, eliminating the need for costly remote procedure calls or change in address space. We evaluated our platform by developing a proof-of-concept LOTRx86-enabled web server that employs our architecture to securely access its private key during an SSL connection. We conducted a set of experiments, including a performance measurement on the PoC on <i>both</i> Intel and AMD PCs, and confirmed that LOTRx86 incurs only a limited performance overhead.

COMPARISON OF SKYSCRAPER BUILDING DESIGN: ISOLATED FOUNDATIONS VS. NON-ISOLATED FOUNDATIONS

As the population grows, the need for safe and comfortable places to live and work increases. Tall buildings are becoming a popular option as they enable efficient use of urban space and provide solutions to the challenges of urbanization. However, the safety of these buildings against natural hazards such as earthquakes is crucial. Engineers are putting a lot of effort into the construction and design of tall buildings, some of which have been successfully completed, while others have been halted due to design difficulties. High-rise buildings have challenged engineers' endurance due to their height and number of floors. Efforts have been made to increase the resistance of tall buildings to natural factors and the weight of the building. One of the most important factors is the building's vibration movement, which must be resistant to wind, loads on the building, and earthquakes. One way to increase the strength of the building is to use isolated foundations. This article investigates whether using an isolated foundation has an effect on the strength of tall buildings. Two 51-floor tall buildings were designed, one with an isolated foundation and one without. The differences between the buildings were evaluated in terms of earthquakes, the greatest risk for buildings. Using the ETABS program and following international standards, these two buildings were designed to withstand the forces of wind, earthquakes, and loads on the building. The loads and forces caused by earthquakes, the resistances and possible damages of both types of buildings were also evaluated

Зоолог Володимир Караваєв та Карадазька наукова станція в Криму (до 160­річчя з дня народження)

Some unknown pages in the life of Volodymyr Karavaiev the world-famous Ukrainian zoologist, myrmecologist, traveler, as well as a large landowner of the former Kyiv Governorate are considered. Particular attention is paid to his stay and research activities in the Crimea, near the Karadag mountain massif, at the Karadag scientific station. The station was founded in 1914 at the own cost of Terentiy Viazemsky, doctor of medicine, a privatdozent of the Moscow University, in order to develop science free from state supervision. In 1917, at the beginning of the revolutionary destruction, Volodymyr Karavaiev was in Crimea, and the went to the Karadag trying to find a safe place for scientific activity. He was fascinated by the untouched nature of this place and, with the help of the geologist Oleksandr Sludskyi, who was in charge of the station, decided to build his own house and set up an entomological laboratory at the station. However, subsequent political events made it impossible to implement the scientist’s ideas. The significance of the station in the scientist’s life is considered in the context of the complicated fate of the manuscript on ants of the Ponerinae subfamily the first one that the scientist almost managed to process after returning from a trip to the Dutch Indies in 1913 (the events of 1917 prevented it). The history of the manuscript is filled with losses, experiences, and hardships, but scientific activity in Kyiv and at the station continued and covers the period from 1913 to 1923. The acquaintance with academician Volodymyr Vernadsky is also mentioned. Also considered the trip of the scientist in the ‘academic’ carriage to Kharkiv, and from there to Crimea in November 1919 (together with Volodymyr Vernadsky, who continued traveling to Rostov.) It is emphasised that thanks to the shelter at the station, the scientist was able to increase his scientific knowledge; the tropical collections of ants brought to the station and therefore preserved, gave him the opportunity to successfully continue studying the ants of the world. Another significant reason for developing scientific studies was the station’s surroundings, which revealed the biodiversity of the myrmecofauna of Karadag. It is proposed to create a memorial library and a memorial collection of ants of the scientist as a national heritage.

Thermal-Responsive Liquid Crystal Elastomer Foam-based Compressible and Omnidirectional Gripper.

Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are considered to be a promising material for the fabrication of soft grippers because of their large and reversible deformations, an LCE gripper with suitable compressibility and omnidirectionality has not yet been developed. To overcome these obstacles, this study utilizes salt template method to fabricate a rod-like LCE foam as gripper. The thickness of the compressible foam can be reduced by up to 77%, temporarily maintaining the deformation and enabling the gripper to pass through slits. The foam was aligned along the long axis and the length of the foam exhibits reversible thermal responsiveness and contract up to 57% along its alignment. Additionally, when the foam approaches a heat source, the generated temperature gradient results in a contraction gradient owing to the low thermal conductivity of the LCE foam. This in turn causes the foam to reversibly bend with a bending angle up to 93° and follow the movement of a heat source omnidirectionally. The developed gripper successfully grasps, moves, and releases hot objects in a cold and safe place, demonstrating its potential for emergency disposal. Thus, LCE foams can be considered suitable materials for novel gripper design and construction.

Home is often considered the safest and most comfortable place for us. Everyone certainly thinks at home is the safest place. But without our knowledge, the house can also pose a danger when the occupants are active there. Domestic hazards and risks such as fire, food poisoning, dangerous goods, accidents, etc. Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) knowledge must be possessed by all families living at home, even though every day housewives and housemaids are basically people who live daily lives at home who need awareness about safety management. at home. In preparing for socialization activities and safety house training, it is necessary to establish Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) cadres in RT 23, Bagan Pete Village, Jambi City and increase the HR of these cadres through training. The training aims to make cadres and housewives understand and increase their awareness of the importance of the safety house in their daily activities at home. With these socialization and training activities, it is hoped that the understanding of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) and safety houses for housewives can increase.&#x0D; Participants who received material on safety house socialization and training gained increased knowledge and awareness about work safety at home, which can be seen from the results of pre-test and post-test and statistically proven to have a significant effect. Characteristics Participants who participated in the safety house socialization and training were the majority of participants aged 27-34 years (63.3%), the most with high school education (83.3%) and the majority not working (76.7%).&#x0D; Keywords : Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), Safety House

JĘZYK POLSKI NA TLE WOJNY NA UKRAINIE

Since 24 February 2022, Ukraine has been operating in a different reality, which until now has been read about in history textbooks. Russia's invasion of Ukraine took not so much the whole world by surprise as the Ukrainians. Victims of direct contact with the invaders, who have been 'providing' civilian 'liberation services' in Ukraine for a year now, from a civilised life, an acquired property and a peaceful existence, are forced to look all over the world for refuge, safe places and opportunities for survival. Accepting their refugee status, and fleeing the war, they continue to witness the hostilities and wish to report on the events taking place in Ukraine to their families. The term language of war, which appears in the text, is understood in terms of the material used by the media during the conflict, i.e. how journalists express themselves about the situation in Ukraine when presenting war reports, and in terms of social and propaganda narratives. The language of war furthermore defines additional problem planes, e.g. forms of expressing emotions or the creation of various linguistic constructions, as well as the extent to which it functions on the visual plane. The article presents a list of necessary structures, and lexical units, which can be used to formulate a message about the war in Ukraine, and the crimes committed by the Russian occupier, and help in displaying reports from the front line in real-time. The material of the article can be used in lessons of Polish as a foreign language, aid groups and witness accumulation units, and interviews with victims who experienced warfare.

Distance learning in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and war in Ukraine according to medical university students

Objective — to investigate the personal attitude of 5th and 6th year students of the medical faculties of Danylo Halytskyi Lviv National Medical University to mixed forms of education, including distance learning, in the context of quarantine of the COVID-19 pandemic and martial law.&#x0D; Materials and methods. A questionnaire was conducted to study the personal attitude of the 5th and 6th year students of the medical faculties of Danylo Halytskyi Lviv National Medical University to the study of curricula in a mixed form of education during the autumn semester of the 2022—2023 academic year.&#x0D; Results and discussion. Among the survey participants, a third (33.7 %) noted that they felt more responsible for their studies, realised the opportunity to be in the learning process, i. e. noted a change for the better, in general. However, 18.5 % of the respondents indicated a negative change, feeling indifferent. One third of students (39.1 %) rated their level of anxiety as high, and one third (33.7 %) as very high. It has been found that 30.4 % of students are engaged in volunteer activities alongside their studies, and more than half (53.2 %) are employed, including 30.4 % of all survey participants working in the medical field. Among the 6th year students, participation in volunteer activities increased compared to the 5th year students, and 39.7 % were engaged in it, and more 6th year students were also employed — 56.4 %. Among the negative factors for 80.4 % of the surveyed 5th year medical students, the priority was the lack of acquisition and improvement of practical skills, which is obvious. «Technical difficulties» came second. Distance learning had no impact on the desire to acquire knowledge in 72.3 % of students, and 27.7 % said they felt a lack of motivation to study after switching to distance learning.&#x0D; Conclusions. The war and martial law in Ukraine have become a source of stress for all participants in the educational process, so understanding students’ personal attitudes to learning is relevant and necessary in modern conditions. The use of information technology tools increases opportunities for both education and science. During the quarantine caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and martial law in Ukraine, the educational process did not stop, and the distance learning format, according to the vast majority of students surveyed, made it possible to continue studying medicine in relatively safe places.

Managing Employees’ Diversity Practices in Private Higher Education in Ethiopia; Evidence from Selected Private Higher Educational Institutions (PHEIs) in Mekelle, Tigray

Diversity means having a range of people with various racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and cultural backgrounds and various lifestyles, experience and interests. The efforts with regard to the study of managing employees’ diversity in private higher educational institutions (PHEIs) have helped private colleges in keeping their global competitiveness and overall ability to have a confrontation at an international level. However, studies show that managing employees’ diversity are no longer the only topical issues for argument in organizations but are now a reality to be challenged in the day to day activities of private higher educations. For this case, the debate on issues related to managing employees’ diversity practices in private higher education is desire to create safe, welcoming and conflict free work places in the higher education environments established by people of diverse backgrounds. Hence, the objective of this study was to examine employees’ diversity management practices in the selected private higher education institutions in Mekelle. The study employed a descriptive cross sectional survey design by applying both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The researcher used open ended interview and a semi-structured questionnaire that used a 5-point Likert scale to collect the primary data from 131 employees and the higher administrative bodies of the selected higher education respectively. The study used descriptive and econometric techniques to analyze the collected data. Following the dimensions of diversity namely; age, nationality, ethnicity, language, physical disability, socio-economic status and gender were considered as they were viewed as being more applicable dimensions for private higher education in Mekelle. Descriptive results of the study showed that respondents slightly agree with performance of physical disability and language on managing employees’ diversity; while, they slightly disagree with the other dimensions of diversity. The correlation result shows physical disability and socio-economic status have strong and significant; while, three dimensions (Nationality, Ethnicity and Language) have moderate and significant and the remaining two have weak and significant association with managing employees diversity. Finally, the regression result revealed that 65.7% of managing employees’ diversity was explained by the seven diversity dimensions. Moreover, all except age and gender have significant effect on managing employees’ diversity in the selected PHEIs. Finally, the study forwarded a number of recommendations for the management of the selected higher education to improve managing employees’ diversity practices.

Toward a safe home: Experiencing the transition to an outpatient setting with home mechanical ventilation. A thematic analysis

Toward a safe home: Experiencing the transition to an outpatient setting with home mechanical ventilation. A thematic analysis Abstract. Background: With the progress in medical options, the need for home mechanical ventilation increases. The transition from long-term ventilation in an institution to home mechanical ventilation in an outpatient setting is a difficult phase in terms of setting up the network of care, coordination of care for those with the ventilatory insufficiency and the financing. Aim: The study describes how patients with ventilatory insufficiency and family caregivers experience the transition from an institution to an ambulatory setting with invasive or non-invasive home mechanical ventilation. Methods: A qualitative research design with a social-constructivist approach was adopted using thematic analysis according to Braun and Clarke. We included seven German-speaking patients (≥ 18 years old) with ventilatory insufficiency and home mechanical ventilation (> 6 h/day) from the German part of Switzerland, with discharge from an institution to home, and five family caregivers who care for patients with the described criteria. Results: The institution was seen as a safe place. Affected persons and their family caregivers had to create a safe environment at home. Three themes were formed inductively: To gradually build trust with each other, to become experts as family caregivers, to align their own network with the new care needs.Conclusions: The transition home succeeds in the interplay of gaining trust, building expertise, and creating sustainable networks. Professionals can use this knowledge to provide targeted support to patients with home mechanical ventilation and their family caregivers.

Built pedagogy and educational citizenship in an Australian alternative learning environment

The impact of built pedagogy has received increased focus within educational research, however to date there has not been a sustained focus on alternative learning environments. The research reported in this paper explored the experiences of young people enroled in a Flexible Learning Options (FLO) programme in South Australia. Interviews with 30 young people were undertaken both at the beginning and end of the school year in 2021, and ethnographic observations of the learning space were also undertaken. Thematic analysis identified four key aspects of the built pedagogy in the programme space, with a specific focus on safety and educational citizenship. The space allowed young people to take time out for themselves, helping them to feel they were in a safe place. The space also facilitated a sense of place through its open plan, though aspects of the built pedagogy potentially introduced an emphasis upon normative understandings of educational citizenship. The paper concludes by considering recommendations for how FLO programmes may, through their built pedagogy, better meet the needs of all students.

The Reticent Revolution of Sexual Daydreams

Daydreaming is a spoken word poem that captures the intimate moment in which a woman fantasizes about having sex with her ‘crush’. Although romantic and tender at times, this piece is not a snapshot of ‘everlasting love’ between two people, but of the reticent revolution of self-love, self-indulgence, and self-surrender that invokes sexual daydreams. brown’s (2019) ‘Pleasure Activism’ observes the sensual imagination as a private and safe place where we develop fantasies of what we desire – what we want to do to others, or what we want done to us by others or what we want to witness, while acknowledging that these fantasies are heavily influenced by cultural social norms and intersecting systems of hierarchy that can perpetuate the disempowerment of ourselves and others. This leads brown to recognize sexual fantasies as sites for radical healing and liberation – as a quiet space where we get to intentionally work on developing new fantasies and generate power in and/or out of the bedroom. Inspired by brown’s work, Daydreaming challenges androcentric and suppressive cultures of sexual exploitation and repression by (re)imagining and (re)claiming sex as something full of reciprocity, rapture, and vocality, thus disrupting the long-standing history of silencing survivors of sexual trauma and the patriarchal view that sexual pleasure is primarily for white straight cis men. As such, the poem embodies counter-hegemony, not only offering us an opportunity to see, feel, sense, and imagine differently, but to also (re)shape “our real-life desires and practices”, as brown (2019) puts it (p. 222). By creating space to envision new imaginary landscapes of sexual healing, sexual empowerment, and sexual liberation, Daydreaming reminds us of the power and potential of the radical sexual imagination to liberate a part of our (sexual) selves from within. It seeks to celebrate the political and liberating process of shamelessly luxuriating in our own erotic imaginations to activate our inner sexual worlds, and thus to produce social change.
