Little Changes, Jessica Wolfe

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

This collage is made of hundreds of small pieces of paper cut from old magazines and junk mail. As I worked on it, I thought about how each tiny piece of paper alters the canvas in a nearly imperceptible way, but the shapes and colors could shift completely in the course of an hour. This concept of making small changes is something I think a lot about in my work as a psychiatric nurse as well. Even though it doesn’t always feel like it, we become wiser each day. By looking for these small opportunities to evolve, we can build …

We meet for friendship, laughter, and spending time together. Each person paints a 6 X 6 inch tile, some more competent than others. Each person comfortably shares their painting without judgment, and we are proud of what our bond produces. The output keeps us going with a refreshing breath of life. You see, we also work together every day in health care.

Umiiral ang malalalim na suliranin ng healthcare system sa Pilipinas, kabilang ang kakulangan ng pondo, limitadong akses sa kalidad na pangangalaga, at mataas na gastusin sa medisina. Ginagamit ni Ramon Christian “Arshie” Larga na mas kilala sa username na “@arshielife,” isang lisensyadong parmasyutiko at content creator, ang TikTok bilang plataporma upang magbigay ng wastong impormasyon at labanan ang maling paniniwala sa kalusugan. Kilala si Arshie sa mga video tungkol sa medisina at kalusugan, na may tanyag na panimula sa kaniyang mga video na "let me explain."

An Alternative To The Liberal World Order: China, Brics, And Middle East Diplomacy, Brice Tseen Fu Lee, Kotchaphop Kornphetcharat, Juan Pablo Sims Jun 2025

An Alternative To The Liberal World Order: China, Brics, And Middle East Diplomacy, Brice Tseen Fu Lee, Kotchaphop Kornphetcharat, Juan Pablo Sims

Journal Of Middle East and Islamic Studies

This paper explores how China and BRICS are emerging as strategic alternatives to the liberal international order, particularly in the realm of diplomacy and mediation for periphery states in the Middle East. Drawing on a realist theoretical framework, the study argues that these platforms offer pragmatic, interest-based avenues for engagement that contrast sharply with the conditionalities and normative expectations of Western-led institutions. Through case studies such as China’s mediation in the Iran–Saudi Arabia normalization and the expansion of BRICS+ to include Middle Eastern actors, the paper demonstrates how sovereignty, non-interference, and multipolarity have become central organizing principles for a new …

The authors of the article …


Study Of Religious Experience Using The Introspection Method: Case Of Estonia, Siim Nigulas, Tõnu Lehtsaar Jun 2025

Study Of Religious Experience Using The Introspection Method: Case Of Estonia, Siim Nigulas, Tõnu Lehtsaar

Occasional Papers on Religion in Eastern Europe

This article revisits the method of introspection as a valuable tool for studying religious experience in Estonia, where spirituality is often personal, unaffiliated, and deeply introspective. Drawing on the legacy of the Dorpat school—particularly Karl Girgensohn—it highlights how experimental introspection can illuminate the dimensions of faith. Considering Estonia’s post-Soviet religious individualization, the method offers a culturally fitting and academically rigorous approach. The study argues for the revival and adaptation of introspective techniques to explore the inner dynamics of belief in a secular yet spiritually curious society.

Adventist Human-Subject Researchers Association

Familiarity with the Adventist Health Message relates differently to outreach involvement depending on diet. Among the 5,849 participants, pescatarians and vegetarians showed a stronger positive link between health message awareness and willingness to increase outreach engagement, while vegans and meat-eaters showed no significant effect, suggesting diet may shape health-belief-driven outreach.

Beyond The Gray Ghost: John S. Mosby And The Power Of Legend, Kevin R. Youngberg

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Civil War generals are among the most celebrated figures of their time. In the post-Civil war era, many of these officers retreated to farms, and businesses and disappeared into obscurity. This was not the case with Colonel John Singleton Mosby, who quickly transformed into a figure whose legacy from the Civil war gave him a unique place in the American imagination as the legendary Gray Ghost of the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. He lived until 1916, a remarkable fifty years filling those decades with a host of accomplishments in public service both at home and abroad. His legacy is complex, …

A Sem Study Of The Three Domains Of Religious Experience, Mediated By Intellectual Humility And Cognitive Flexibility, Predicting Religious Tolerance Among Christian University Students, Conrad Dioniz Zygmont, David Dioniz Bolton

Adventist Human-Subject Researchers Association

The present study extends an existing mediation model of religiosity and socio-cognitive variables influence on religious tolerance by considering three religious co-variates (informal religion/personal spirituality, formalised religiosity, and God image) as antecedents. The sample for this study is recruited through university Christian student associations. The results will be discussed from an Adventist perspective challenging contemporary discourse of religiosity vs spirituality, and image of God.

Pretty And Problematic: The Use Of Music In Guadagnino's 'Call Me By Your Name', Brandon L. Foskett Jun 2025

Pretty And Problematic: The Use Of Music In Guadagnino's 'Call Me By Your Name', Brandon L. Foskett

Deliberately Queer Journal

Tension in the reception of the American-Italian film Call Me by Your Name (dir. Guadagnino, 2017)—as a beautiful film that implicitly condones a problematic narrative—is shaped in part by its compilation soundtrack. Already lauded as a timeless masterpiece in cinematography, sensuality, and music, the film also receives steadfast criticism regarding its portrayal of homosexuality and alleged condoning of interage desire between Elio, a 17-year-old Italian-French boy, and Oliver, a 24-year-old American man. In this paper, I analyze five musical episodes from the film, including The Psychedelic Furs’ “Love My Way,” Ravel’s Une barque sur l’océan, and Sufjan Stevens’s “Mystery …

Detective And Family: The Representation Of Same-Sex Family In Holmes & Moriarity By Josh Lanyon, Kanokwan Wichiansri, Thosaeng Chaochuti

Journal of Letters

This paper aims to study the questioning of in heteronormativity in early detective fiction by investigating the representation of homosexual family in the crime fiction series Holmes & Moriarity by Josh Lanyon. The study finds that the representations of the male detective and homosexual family are influenced by heteronormative standards. The selected texts raise questions about the conventions of early detective fiction that usually offer stereotypical representations of the male detective. The male detective in early detective fiction typically prefers a life of solitude and refuses to start a family. The selected texts, however, portray a protagonist who is able …
