The advent of modern technologies during the era of globalization has significantly expanded the array of sources available for historical research. Visual materials, encompassing various forms of pictorial media such as photographs, phonographs, and video images, stand out due to their diversity and capacity to directly convey information. Concurrently, there is a growing scholarly emphasis on investigating the roles and experiences of women in historical contexts. In this context, the utilization of visual materials in studying the history of Korean women during the late 19th and early 20th centuries holds profound relevance in contemporary historical research.

Multilingualism refers to the ability of an individual or a community to speak or use multiple languages. It can be characterized by the ability to understand, read, write, and communicate in more than one language. A multilingual person does not necessarily mean someone who speaks more than one language perfectly.

Radiation poses significant challenges to the reliability and performance of integrated circuits (ICs) deployed in space applications. The harsh space environment exposes ICs to various types of ionizing radiation, including solar particle events, cosmic rays, and trapped radiation belts, which can induce transient and permanent damage to semiconductor devices. Understanding the effects of radiation on ICs is essential for designing robust and reliable spaceborne electronics. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the radiation effects on ICs, including single-event effects (SEEs), total ionizing dose (TID) effects, and dose rate effects. Strategies for mitigating radiation-induced failures, such as radiation-hardened design techniques and radiation testing methodologies, are also discussed. By addressing the essential considerations for radiation hardness in ICs, this paper aims to facilitate the development of reliable electronics for space missions.

Swap and domino organ transplantation represents a groundbreaking approach to address organ shortages by facilitating organ exchanges among incompatible donor-recipient pairs or utilizing organs from deceased donors to trigger multiple transplant chains. This paper explores the socio-cultural and political implications of swap and domino organ transplantation, transcending traditional boundaries and challenging existing norms in the field of organ donation and transplantation. Through a multidisciplinary lens, it examines the ethical considerations, legal frameworks, and societal attitudes surrounding swap and domino transplantation, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges inherent in this innovative approach. By fostering collaboration and cooperation across sociocultural and political divides, swap and domino transplantation offers a promising pathway to expand access to life-saving organ transplants and promote global health equity.

This abstract provides a concise overview of the prevalence of cultural beliefs and their impact on the recognition and treatment of schizophrenia symptoms in Kenya, drawing from a review of relevant literature including "A survey of psychosis risk symptoms in Kenya," "Cultural Aspects of Major Mental Disorders: A Critical Review from an Indian Perspective," "Psychotic Symptoms in Kenya – Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Relationship with Common Mental Disorders," and "Exploring mental health practice among traditional health practitioners: a qualitative study in rural Kenya." This review reveals a complex interaction between traditional cultural beliefs that are held by many Kenyan communities and Western biomedical viewpoints on schizophrenia. Results of a survey conducted in Kenya on psychosis risk symptoms highlight the substantial overlap between symptoms that are distinctive to a culture and those that meet Western psychiatric standards. This overlap emphasizes how crucial it is to use culturally aware methods when diagnosing and treating schizophrenia in Kenya. Studies conducted on psychotic symptoms in Kenya show that a significant proportion of schizophrenia patients experience symptoms that are culturally specific, such as spirit possession and witchcraft beliefs. These culturally particular symptoms frequently impact behavior related to seeking help and adhering with treatment, with traditional healers having a significant role in the treatment of mental illness. Reliance on conventional healers, however, may impede treatment outcomes for people with schizophrenia and prolong the time it takes to receive evidence-based psychiatric therapy. It is important to consider the cultural perceptions and beliefs around the symptoms of schizophrenia in Kenya highlight the critical need for culturally competent methods to mental health treatment. Schizophrenia treatment initiatives must strike a careful balance between honoring various cultural viewpoints and encouraging cooperation between conventional healers and biological professionals. The creation of culturally appropriate therapies and the improvement of mental health literacy in Kenyan communities ought to be the top priorities for future research in order to guarantee that people with schizophrenia have fair access to high-quality mental health care.
