Cultivation of Youth Patriotism in the New Era: Current Situation, Objectives and Practical Approaches

Youth patriotism education is an important part of maintaining national unity and promoting the growth and success of young people to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in the new era. However, youth patriotism education in the new era presents the following status quo: firstly, the education method and content are single and boring; secondly, it is deeply impacted by the negative information on the Internet and the invasion of diversified ideologies and cultures; and thirdly, the cultural self-confidence is weakened, and the influence of traditional culture is declining. Patriotic education for young people in the new era should aim at realizing young people's emotional identity, ideological identity and behavioral identity of knowledge and action. To this end, patriotic education in the new era can be adjusted from the adjustment of the form and content of patriotic education, strengthening the governance of multiple subjects in cyberspace, as well as basing on traditional culture and firming up cultural self-confidence, with a view to enhancing the effectiveness of patriotic education for young people in the new era.

Effects of working time recording from the perspective of surgeons

Since 2023 the law in Germany has required that working times are recorded in the field of surgery. The consequences of recording of the working hours in surgery are the main topic of this study. The search for ways of harmonization in the team to counteract a limited availability of personnel requires knowledge of the position of surgeons on the issue in question. The study design is based on the situational approach of organizational research and encompasses 20qualitative interviews and 186 datasets of an online questionnaire with 24questions. For the evaluation group comparisons were carried out using the ANOVA analysis. The target groups were surgeons working in German hospitals. The study has an explorative character due to the targeted selection of samples. The results of the online survey showed a strong support for working time recording among surgeons with a general agreement of 82% and a consensus at all levels from residents to medical directors. Less than 50% of the assistants and medical specialists saw an improvement via an in-house dialogue, in comparison to senior physicians and medical directors. The right to compensatory time off by other employees represents agreater burden for senior physicians and chief physicians. The decisive result shows that there is a preference for transponder-based systems, especially among surgeons with long working hours. The problems of transparency and the right to compensatory time off, often associated with a lack of personnel, demonstrate the necessity for an improved communication and strategic personnel planning in hospitals. Surgeons have differentiated views on the transparent exchange on the topic of the working hours performed.

Arrhythmias in sarcoidosis

Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is difficult to diagnose and often requires acareful evaluation of numerous diagnostic findings. Typical features at initial presentation are ahigh-grade atrioventricular (AV) block and ventricular tachycardias that cannot be explained by other common entities, especially in younger patients. CS is frequently misdiagnosed and inappropriately treated, which may have deleterious consequences for the patients. In this review article, we focus on special features of the arrhythmias typical of sarcoidosis and also discuss the underlying substrate and the approach in special situations. Furthermore, we provide recommendations from our daily clinical experience, discuss open questions, and explain the need for research.

The Tangle of Evolution: Walter Benjamin as a Reader of Edgar Dacqué's Natural Philosophy

Abstract: Because Walter Benjamin's main articulation of natural history is speculative and disseminated across a number of major texts, starting with the study of the Trauerspiel and the unfinished Passagenwerk, his engagement with natural history as a corpus of scientific knowledge has not yet received the scholarly attention it deserves. Against the backdrop of the recursive popularity of natural history as a literary genre for assessing "what we are and where we are going"—from Yuval Harari's overarching narrative of homo sapiens to Meike Stoverock's feminist evolutionary history—this essay takes a literal, epistemological, and historically situated approach to natural history as a Weimar-era discipline for investigating human evolution from animal to man. In particular, I provide an account of the thought of Edgar Dacqué, who was a leading geologist and paleontologist of National Socialism, the intellectual milieu in which he worked, the reasons for his popularity; not secondarily, the utility for Benjamin of critiquing this esoteric natural history and thus transferring the fascination with the "grotesque" from the realm of science to that of literature.

A Revolutionary Approach to Imparting English Language Skills

It is universally acknowledged that a command over spoken and written English is a sinequanon of success, professional or personal. The methods, principles and techniques adopted in schools and colleges in non-native English countries, not to speak of India, have not met the expected success in equipping students with the requisite linguistic skills to express themselves through speaking and writing. So many discussions have taken place among scholarly circles to address the lacunae resulting in the formulation of various methods like the Grammar Translation Method, the Direct Method, The Audio-Lingual Method, the Silent Way, the Bilingual Method, Community Language Learning, Communicative Language Teaching Approach, Structure Approach and Situational Approach. In the luxuriant of these numerous methods, the right approach becomes conspicuous by its absence in other words all these approaches will only help the learner be confused in acquiring English language competence. This rather gloomy picture has made the writer of this paper seek a solution to the problem resulting in his invention of an easy approach on the part of English language teachers in imparting English communication skills.

Politeness Strategies by "Ellie" from the Tv series "The Last of Us."

This research thoroughly explores the captivating world of politeness strategies employed by the main character, "Ellie," in the immensely popular television series "The Last of Us." the data source was meticulously collected from the HBO streaming service website and a comprehensive transcript repository. Employing Brown and Levinson's politeness strategy framework (1987), the study embarked on a qualitative method analysis, carefully examining the dialogue and interactions of "Ellie" throughout the series. The investigation unravels a fascinating array of insights, shedding light on how "Ellie" masterfully employs diverse politeness strategies in her communications. The study identified 16 instances of various politeness strategies found within the series. Among these, the most frequently observed strategy was the "Bald on Record" approach, utilized a remarkable nine times (comprising 52.25% of the instances). Following this, the "Negative Politeness" tactic emerged with four occurrences (25%), while "Positive Politeness" was deployed twice (12.5%). Lastly, the "Off-record" strategy was observed once (10%). The findings of this research unveil a compelling pattern of "Ellie" consistently employing a wide range of politeness strategies throughout the series. It is intriguing that the prevalence of "Bald on Record" may be attributed to the dangerous and challenging circumstances Ellie and the other characters face in the post-apocalyptic world. Direct communication is a pragmatic approach in such dire situations, minimizing misunderstandings and saving precious time. This study's nuanced exploration of politeness strategies in "The Last of Us" offers valuable insights into the complexities of human communication, even in the face of adversity. It mirrors real-life communication challenges and strategies in diverse contexts.

Pregnancy-Related Thromboembolism-Current Challenges at the Emergency Department.

Thrombotic events during pregnancy are burdened by an increased risk of morbidity and mortality, despite innovations in their diagnosis and treatment. Given their multifactorial etiology, it is important to understand all the pathophysiological mechanisms but especially to achieve correct and timely diagnosis. Pulmonary embolism (PE) during pregnancy represents a rare event, with an incidence of 1 per 1000 pregnancies, but it is also one of the leading causes of death during pregnancy. Managing PE in the acute setting is even more challenging and complex due to the attempt to maintain a balance between hemorrhagic and thrombotic complications while ensuring an optimal outcome for both the mother and the baby. In this review, our aim is to analyze the most significant challenges of acute PE during pregnancy and identify suitable management approaches for specific situations in order to improve the prognosis of pregnant women.

Monitoring of adverse effects of antituberculosis drugs: case study of hepatic cytolysis and skin reactions

Introduction. Tuberculosis remains a major public health issue worldwide. Progress in treatment, particularly with the emergence of anti-tuberculosis drugs, has been significant. However, identifying the drugs responsible for adverse effects is crucial to establish a practical approach in clinical situations, including the assessment and monitoring of these effects. Methods. This case study describes the monitoring and management of adverse effects of anti-tuberculosis drugs in patients at the Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases Control Department (SCTMR) in Sidi Bel Abbes (Algeria). Results. The observed effects include nine cases of hepatic cytolysis and two cases of skin reactions. This work revealed a predominantly high intrinsic imputability of anti-tuberculosis drugs, with a rating of I3 (C2S2) for six cases and I5 (C2S3) for five cases. The therapeutic interventions implemented and their compliance with international recommendations are discussed. Discussion. SCTMR specialists generally follow international recommendations to manage adverse effects of antituberculosis drugs. However, the high imputability of anti-tuberculosis drugs indicates that they are strongly incriminated in the occurrence of these adverse effects. Conclusion. Adverse effects of anti-tuberculosis treatment are not rare, requiring rigorous clinical, biological and pharmacovigilance monitoring. These surveillances can reduce mortality and morbidity associated with tuberculosis treatment. A government commitment is essential to revitalize the national pharmacovigilance center and improve the detection of serious adverse effects.

Adding texture to the Art of constraints-led coaching: a request for more research-informed guidelines

ABSTRACT The constraints-led approach has become an increasingly popular framework for developing functionally adaptive movement skills among athletes. Despite this popularity, the application of the constraints-led approach requires a level of conceptual, theoretical, and practical expertise, which we believe is in need of further applied research. In this paper, we aim to challenge constraints-led researchers and practitioners to provide more research-informed guidelines to support coaches who wish to become ecological designers. In doing so, we first discuss the underlying theoretical perspectives, providing a balanced account of the possible strengths and limitations of the ecological dynamics and constraints-led approaches. We then pose three questions we believe have yet to receive the empirical attention necessary to help coaches become effective ecological designers. In posing these questions, we hope to encourage greater empirical guidance about the application of the constraints-led approach in situations coaches routinely encounter in the daily training and competition environment.

A microservice based control architecture for mobile robots in safety-critical applications

Mobile robots have become more and more common in public space. This increases the importance of meeting safety requirements of autonomous robots. Simple mechanisms, such as emergency braking, alone do not suffice in these highly dynamic situations. Moreover, actual robotic control approaches in literature and practice do not take safety particularly into account. A more sophisticated situational approach for assessment and planning is needed as part of the high-level process control. This paper presents the concept of a safety-critical Robot Control Architecture for mobile robots based on microservices and a Hierarchical Finite State Machine. It expands already existing architectures by drastically reducing the amount of centralized logic and thus increasing the overall system’s level of concurrency, interruptibility and fail-safety. Furthermore, it introduces new potential for code reuse that allows for straightforward implementation of safety mechanisms such as internal diagnostics systems. In doing so, this concept presents the template of a new type of state machine implementation. It is demonstrated with the application of a delivery robot, which was implemented and operated in real public during a broader research project.

LaMMOn: language model combined graph neural network for multi-target multi-camera tracking in online scenarios

Multi-target multi-camera tracking is crucial to intelligent transportation systems. Numerous recent studies have been undertaken to address this issue. Nevertheless, using the approaches in real-world situations is challenging due to the scarcity of publicly available data and the laborious process of manually annotating the new dataset and creating a tailored rule-based matching system for each camera scenario. To address this issue, we present a novel solution termed LaMMOn, an end-to-end transformer and graph neural network-based multi-camera tracking model. LaMMOn consists of three main modules: (1) Language Model Detection (LMD) for object detection; (2) Language and Graph Model Association module (LGMA) for object tracking and trajectory clustering; (3) Text-to-embedding module (T2E) that overcome the problem of data limitation by synthesizing the object embedding from defined texts. LaMMOn can be run online in real-time scenarios and achieve a competitive result on many datasets, e.g., CityFlow (HOTA 76.46%), I24 (HOTA 25.7%), and TrackCUIP (HOTA 80.94%) with an acceptable FPS (from 12.20 to 13.37) for an online application.

Situational NMAC risk assessment using conditional random field for UAV tiered aerial passage operations

Complex urban unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations necessitate near mid-air collision (NMAC) risk assessment to ensure safety. In this work, a novel situational NMAC risk assessment approach is developed by integrating the conditional random field (CRF) algorithm with safety metrics and conflict resolution performance to facilitate UAV tiered aerial passage operations. Firstly, a concept of tiered aerial passages is designed to provide a practical urban airspace planning scheme that addresses UAV heterogeneity. For UAV tiered aerial passage operations, a situational NMAC risk assessment framework is formulated, enabling the host UAV to evaluate and respond to real-time risks, ensuring avoidance of potential collisions. Specifically, a probabilistic risk assessment model is proposed based on the CRF algorithm, considering UAV safety metrics and resolution performance. Then the NMAC risks in overtaking, approaching head-on, and converging UAV situational encounters are quantified considering advisory, caution, and warning risk alert levels. To resolve risks assessed, acceptable, tolerable, and unacceptable scenarios are proposed to enhance the flexibility and personalization of the resolution decision-making. The proposed method is validated by testing encounter situations and comparative study. The results show that the proposed method outperforms UAV NMAC risk assessment, effectively tailoring different risk requirements for diverse UAV operations.

Organizational and managerial context of project-based learning development in higher school

The article is devoted to the study of the organizational and managerial context of the development of project-based learning in Russian universities. The sample of the study is represented by twelve universities of different types (federal, research, reference) Volga, Ural, Siberian and Southern Federal districts. Based on the traditional analysis of official documents posted on the official websites of universities, an assessment of key aspects of university policies in the implementation of project-based student education was carried out, reflecting the development of the organizational infrastructure of the analyzed practice and forming an environment of social interaction between students, teachers, curators, employers and representatives of educational management. The development of assessment tools was based on the methodology of systemic, organizational and managerial, process, situational and temporal approaches. The purpose of the study is to analyze the organizational and managerial context of project–based education in Russian universities. It is established that the institutional practices of implementing project-based learning in the universities under study have different resource capabilities and are implemented along different trajectories that have their own logic. The study recorded that in the information space, and accordingly in the organizational and managerial environment, diversity is represented in determining the goals and effectiveness of project training. The demarcation lines in the existing organizational and managerial models are strategic forks that ensure: the mass or selectivity of project-based education in universities; orientation towards educational and/or product results; integration of project-based learning into the educational process or the implementation of students' project activities beyond their educational activities. The dependence between the organizational design of project training and its resource provision – regulatory, personnel, and information support is revealed. The scale and intensity of managerial innovations associated with the transition of the educational process to project-based learning formats are more typical for universities included in the “Priority-2030” university development program. They determine not only serious institutional and organizational changes, but also the transformation of social interaction practices in higher education.

Pregnancy As Window of Opportunity? A Danish RCT on Physical Activity During Pregnancy

ABSTRACT Pregnancy is seen as a window of opportunity for health interventions, with the potential to produce long-term health changes for mother and child. The RCT FitMum investigates the effects of different regimes of physical activity during pregnancy. We suggest that rather than hitting a window of opportunity, the trial works in choreography with different timescapes through the processes of management of time. These timescapes are characterized by linear progression and futurity, alongside composite, complex time. We reconceptualize the intervention as a navigation of flows and passages in collective efforts, providing a situated and sustainable approach to interventions.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE CHANGE MANAGEMENT MODEL AT THE HOTEL INDUSTRY ENTERPRISES

The article is devoted to the development of methodological approaches and practical recommendations for improving the change management model in the enterprises of the hotel industry. Based on the definition of the functioning peculiarities of modern enterprises of the hotel industry, it is proved that traditional and classical models of change management are ineffective in modern changing conditions, and it is substantiated that the model of change management at enterprises of the hotel industry should be based on a situational approach, which transforms it into an "improvisational" one. The change management model, in which managers make decisions based on intuition and change management is carried out through constant improvisation, represents a flexible and adaptive approach to managing an organization in conditions of constant uncertainty and variability of the external environment. Key aspects of this model include the acceptance of intuition's importance in the decision-making process, where managers value intuitive propositions and apply them in their activities. Instead of pre-designed and tough change strategies, change management is based on the organization's ability to quickly adapt to changes and respond to situations that arise in real time. The effectiveness of such a model is supported by an open and active exchange of information and ideas between management and employees, which helps stimulate improvisation and making non-standard decisions. The article proposes an algorithm for managing changes in hotel industry enterprises, developed taking into account the survey results of employees of 25 Ukrainian hotels of various categories. This algorithm works in the form of a continuous cycle and consists of six stages. The results of the survey also emphasize the relevance of the problem of effective change management in the modern hotel sector.

Too amused to stop? Self-control and the disengagement process on Netflix

Abstract Consuming media entertainment often challenges recipients’ self-control. While past research related self-control almost exclusively to whether individuals engage in media use, it might be equally relevant for the disengagement from media use. Testing core assumptions of the Appraisal of Media Use, Self-Control, and Entertainment (AMUSE) model, the present study investigates the situational interplay of self-control and affective appraisals in predicting disengagement from Netflix use. Preregistered hypotheses were tested based on an event-contingent experience sampling design, in which 205 adult Netflix users in the Netherlands and Germany were tracked and surveyed for two weeks. Results demonstrate that disengagement is contingent upon enjoyment and appreciation and that enjoyment, in turn, can be “spoiled” by feeling guilty. Self-control influenced goal conflict and enjoyment throughout the reception process. We discuss opportunities for modeling disengagement from media use with situational research approaches.

The purpose of this article is to discuss how to apply contextual teaching method in English classroom to improve students' English learning efficiency.

An SPH framework for drained and undrained loading over large deformations

AbstractWe propose a new approach for performing drained and undrained loading of elastoplastic geomaterials over large deformations using smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), a meshfree continuum particle method, combined with the modified Cam Clay (MCC) model of critical state soil mechanics. The numerical approach draws upon a novel one‐particle two‐phase penalty‐method based formulation for handling undrained loading in saturated soils, which allows tracking of the buildup of pore‐water pressures under combined shearing and compression. Large‐scale parallelized simulations are employed to accommodate a significant number of degrees of freedom in a three‐dimensional setting. After verification and benchmark testing, the SPH based formulation is used to analyze the propagation of reverse faults through fluid‐saturated clay deposits and the rupture of strike‐slip faults across earthen embankments. The computational methodology tests the robustness of the meshfree approach in situations where the soil tends to dilate on the ‘dry’ side of the critical state line and to compact on the ‘wet’ side, but cannot, because of the incompressibility constraint imposed by undrained loading. Our results extend the current understanding of fault rupture modeling and further demonstrate the potential of our framework together with the SPH method for large deformation analyses of complex problems in geotechnics.

Implementasi Gaya Kepemimpinan Situasional Kepala Sekolah SMKS ST.Nahanson Parapat Sipoholon

Leadership style can be defined as a collection of a person's behavior that aims to change and influence the minds of other people so that they are willing to follow the instructions and directions given. This research is a type of qualitative research that uses a descriptive approach. The aim is to explain and describe information obtained from the field as data in research. The location of this research was at SMKS St. Nahanson Parapat Sipoholon, the research subject is the principal at SMKS St. Nahanson Parapat Sipoholon. The data analysis method used refers to the theory of Miles and Huberman, which consists of several steps as follows: 1). Data Collection: Researchers collect data through interviews, observation and documentation. 2). Data Reduction: Researchers carry out selection returning to the data that has been collected at the data analysis stage. 3). Data Presentation: The reduced data is presented by the researcher at this stage. 4). Drawing Conclusions: Before drawing conclusions, the researcher double-checks the data that has been collected. Leadership is the ability and readiness of an individual to influence, encourage, invite, guide, mobilize, and if necessary force others to act in achieving organizational goals. Situational leadership is a leadership approach in which the leader's behavior is adapted to the varying conditions and situations of each subordinate. Indicators that influence situational leadership include: (a) the telling dimension, where the leader gives clear instructions when assigning; (b) selling dimension, which involves two-way communication between leaders and subordinates; (c) participating dimension, which includes assigning tasks and responsibilities to subordinates and supporting leaders in carrying out these tasks; and (d) the delegation dimension, where the leader gives authority to subordinates to act independently. At St. Mary's Vocational School Nahanson Parapat, the situational approach adapts leader behavior to specific conditions and subordinate needs, with four main styles, namely telling, selling, participating, and delegating. Situational leadership has been implemented with examples of implementation by the Principal practicing a telling approach in exam preparation, using selling in discussing new teaching scheduling, and participating in Prakerin planning. However, the delegating style is less applied because the Principal tends to control all aspects of decisions and tasks. In practice, situational leadership at St. Nahanson Parapat faces several obstacles, including the school environment and staff characteristics, which influence the effectiveness of implementing this leadership style. These obstacles require special strategies to overcome them, so that situational leadership can be more effective and adapt to existing situations, so that organizational goals are achieved optimally.
