    Případ Ujgurské autonomní oblasti Sin-ťiang

    Abstract V tomto článku se pokusím dokázat, že pokračující násilnosti, k nimž dochází v oblasti známé jako Ujgurská autonomní oblast Sin-ťiang nebo Východní Turkestán, je vhodné chápat jako případy občanských nepokojů ve veřejné sféře a jen zřídka je lze označit za „secesi“ (fenliezhuyi) v tradičním smyslu tohoto pojmu (který chápu jako koordinované násilné činy proti vládě a civilnímu obyvatelstvu za účelem vytvoření nezávislého státu).[1] Boje ujgurského národa s čínským národním státem, které probíhaly od jeho začlenění v roce 1949, je třeba chápat v kontextu snah o dosažení suverenity, nikoli jako náboženskou nebo islámem inspirovanou kampaň. Kromě toho, že jsou Ujgurové muslimský národ, se jejich zájmy a problémy podobají zájmům a problémům Tibetu a občasné násilnosti, k nimž dochází v Tibetské autonomní oblasti v Číně, a protesty proti čínské vládě jsou zřídkakdy, pokud vůbec, označovány za „teroristické“, i když jsou často pokládány na stejnou úroveň s ujgurskými incidenty a označovány jako „secesionistické“ (fenliezhuyi). Zároveň se v tomto článku pokusíme ukázat, že oblast Sin-ťiang, která byla od konce 90. let 20. století mimořádně klidná, což se v posledních několika letech změnilo, zastihla hospodářská konjunktura, kterou by jí mohl závidět kterýkoli z okolních středoasijských států. Číně je možné blahopřát k obrovské hospodářské a sociální transformaci regionu v posledních dvou desetiletích, ale zároveň ji povzbudit, aby našla způsoby, jak zachovat a podporovat živou a výjimečnou středoasijskou civilizaci, kterou ujgurská kultura představuje.

    Abstract Though often called a “heaven on Earth” New Zealand suffers from a serious problem with gangs. Ethnic gangs have dominated the New Zealand gang scene since the 70s when many Maoris left traditional rural areas and migrated in search of work to the cities but ended up in poverty because of lack of skills and poorly-paid jobs. Maori urbanization and the dual pressures of acculturation and discrimination resulted in a breakdown of the traditional Maori social structures and alienated many from their culture. Maoris who have been unable to maintain their ethnic and cultural identity through their genealogical ties and involvement in Maori culture attempt to find it elsewhere. For many of those that have lost contact with their cultural and ethnic links gangs have replaced families and community and provides individuals with a sense of belonging and safety. The aim of this article is to demonstrate the role of gangs in Maori ethnic and cultural identity development. This paper demonstrates the impact of gang environment on individual identity development and provides evidence that cultural engagement initiatives can enhance Maori identities, which in turn could increase psychological and socio-economic wellbeing.

    Abstract A health recommender system (HRS) provides a user with personalized medical information based on the user's health profile. This scoping review aims to identify and summarize the HRS development in the most recent decade by focusing on five key aspects: health domain, user, recommended item, recommendation technology, and system evaluation. We searched PubMed, ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, Web of Science, and Scopus databases for English literature published between 2010 and 2022. Our study selection and data extraction followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. The following are the primary results: sixty-three studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in the data analysis. These studies involved twenty-four health domains, with both patients and the general public as target users and ten major recommended items. The most adopted algorithm of recommendation technologies was the knowledge-based approach. In addition, fifty-nine studies reported system evaluations, in which two types of evaluation methods and three categories of metrics were applied. However, despite existing research progress on HRSs, the health domains, recommended items, and sample size of system evaluation have been limited. In the future, HRS research shall focus on dynamic user modelling, utilizing open-source knowledge bases, and evaluating the efficacy of HRSs using a large sample size. In conclusion, this study summarized the research activities and evidence pertinent to HRSs in the most recent ten years and identified gaps in the existing research landscape. Further work shall address the gaps and continue improving the performance of HRSs to empower users in terms of healthcare decision making and self-management.

    Abstract Psychological distress while coping with cancer is a highly prevalent and yet underrecognized and burdensome adverse effect of cancer diagnosis and treatment. Left unaddressed, psychological distress can further exacerbate poor mental health, negatively influence health management behaviors, and lead to a worsening quality of life. This multimethod study primarily focused on understanding veterans' psychological distress and personal experiences living with lung cancer (an underrepresented patient population). In a sample of 60 veterans diagnosed with either nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or small cell lung cancer (SCLC), we found that distress is common across clinical psychology measures of depression (37% [using the Patient Health Questionnaire, PHQ-9 measure]), anxiety (35% [using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder, GAD-7 measure]), and cancer-related posttraumatic stress (13% [using the Posttraumatic Stress Symptom Checklist measure]). A total of 23% of the sample endorsed distress scores on two or more mental health screeners. Using a broader cancer-specific distress measure (National Comprehensive Cancer Network), 67% of our sample scored above the clinical cutoff (i.e., ≥ 3), and in the follow-up symptom checklist of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network measure, a majority endorsed feeling sadness (75%), worry (73%), and depression (60%). Qualitative analysis with a subset of 25 veterans highlighted that psychological distress is common, variable in nature, and quite bothersome. Future research should (a) identify veterans at risk for distress while living with lung cancer and (b) test supportive mental health interventions to target psychological distress among this vulnerable veteran population.

    Abstract Toxigenic Vibrio cholerae serogroup O1 is the etiologic agent of the disease cholera, and strains of this serogroup are responsible for pandemics. A few other serogroups have been found to carry cholera toxin genes-most notably, O139, O75, and O141-and public health surveillance in the United States is focused on these four serogroups. A toxigenic isolate was recovered from a case of vibriosis from Texas in 2008. This isolate did not agglutinate with any of the four different serogroups' antisera (O1, O139, O75, or O141) routinely used in phenotypic testing and did not display a rough phenotype. We investigated several hypotheses that might explain the recovery of this potential nonagglutinating (NAG) strain using whole-genome sequencing analysis and phylogenetic methods. The NAG strain formed a monophyletic cluster with O141 strains in a whole-genome phylogeny. Furthermore, a phylogeny of

    Abstract Exposure to blast overpressure has been a pervasive feature of combat-related injuries. Studies exploring the neurological correlates of repeated low-level blast exposure in career "breachers" demonstrated higher levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) and interleukin (IL)-6 and decreases in IL-10 within brain-derived extracellular vesicles (BDEVs). The current pilot study was initiated in partnership with the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) to explore whether neuroinflammation is seen within special operators with prior blast exposure. Data were analyzed from 18 service members (SMs), inclusive of 9 blast-exposed special operators with an extensive career history of repeated blast exposures and 9 controls matched by age and duration of service. Neuroinflammation was assessed utilizing positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with [
