Authors: Kaba Esat , Sünnetci Kubilay Muhammed , Alkan Ahmet , Beyazal Celiker Fatma
Published: February 2025

Objectives: It is aimed at magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based differential diagnosis of parotid gland tumors (PGTs) using deep learning.
Methods: This study included 117 PGTs obtained from 113 patients.  T2-w, T1-w, contrast-enhanced T1-w, Diffusion Weighted Imaging-b0, Diffusion Weighted Imaging-b2000 (DWI-2000), and apparent diffusion coefficient sequences of these patients were used in the study.  We implemented four different classification models, and we categorized the images as benign-malignant, pleomorphic adenoma (PA)-Warthin, Warthin-malignant, and all classes (mucoepidermoid carcinoma-other benign-other malignant-PA-Warthin). We constructed classification for each sequence separately using the ResNet18 architecture, with the dataset split into 80% for training and 20% for validation.
Results: The most successful model in this study, achieving an accuracy of 95.37% and an F1-score of 94.74% in classifying malignant-Warthin images in T1-w sequences, also demonstrated the highest accuracy among all models evaluated. For the classification of benign-malignant and the differentiation across All classes, the highest accuracies were achieved with the T2 sequence at 93.75% and 86.67%, respectively. In the differentiation of PA-Warthin, T1-weighted and DWI-b0 sequences demonstrated the highest performance, both with an accuracy of 90.36%.
Conclusion: The deep networks proposed in the study supported MRI-based differential diagnosis of PGTs with high accuracy, and the user-friendly software classified images with high accuracy in about 10 seconds.
Ethical Consideration in Implementing AI-based Tutoring Systems as Educational Technology Tool in Education: Balancing Efficiency with Privacy and Equity in the Teaching of Students
Authors: Amoo Tesleem Akinyemi
Published: February 2025

This article explores the major technological advancements in education and the ethical issues they raise. In this research, we use the systematic literature mapping method. The study follows the research methodology outlined by Kabudi, Pappas, and Olsen, with guidance from Petersen, Vakkalanka, and Kuzniarz. The methodology applied in both studies is as follows: (i) search and selection, (ii) data extraction, (iii) classification and analysis, and (iv) evaluation of validity. The PRISMA approach, or Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, was used as a framework for the search and selection phase. Key findings reveal that AI can automate grading and provide personalized feedback to students, while also reducing cheating. It also helps in predictive analytics by predicting learning outcomes and identifying at-risk students. AI also evaluates non-cognitive traits like emotional states and collaborative skills. However, the study also highlights ethical issues in AI-based assessments, such as inclusivity, fairness, accountability, accuracy, explanation, auditability, security, privacy, autonomy, consent, and sustainability. The research identifies five key thematic areas: AI system design, AI-driven assessment rollout, data stewardship, assessment administration, and grading and evaluation. The study concludes that while AI presents transformative opportunities for educational assessments, it also introduces complex ethical challenges that must be carefully managed.
Young Muslims’ Financial Behavior: Money Attitudes and Financial Literacy by Debt Status
Authors: Nuwailah  , Effendi Jaenal , Ermawati Wita Juwita
Published: February 2025

The increasing trend in household consumption debt in Indonesia, especially through digital lending platforms, has become a societal concern. From an Islamic perspective, debt is governed by ethical principles that emphasize fulfilling obligations responsibly and prudently. Achieving this requires self-discipline, supported by informed financial attitudes and knowledge. This study analyzes the effects of attitudes toward money and financial literacy, specifically debt and Islamic financial literacy, on the financial management behavior of young Muslim adults in Indonesia. It also examines differences in these effects between individuals with debt and those without. Data from 245 respondents were collected using structured questionnaires, analyzed through multiple linear regression, and further tested using the Chow Test to compare the two groups. Results indicate that attitudes toward money, debt, and Islamic financial literacy positively affect financial management behavior. However, in partial analysis, only Islamic financial literacy does not significantly impact financial management behavior. Additionally, comparisons between the two groups revealed no significant differences in financial management behavior between those with debt and those without, likely due to similar financial management tendencies across both groups.

Perturbative analysis of biological parameters for simulating glioblastoma multiforme using Swanson’s model by the method of symmetries
Authors: Caurio Junior Jorge Luiz de Mello , Ribeiro Aquiles Almeida , Petersen Claudio Zen , Tumelero Fernanda
Published: February 2025

The present work aims to propose an exact solution through split and symmetries for a model used to simulate the growth rate of cancer cells in a specific region of the human body, it also intends to study the behavior of the tumor cell concentration rate by varying the diffusion and proliferation coefficients randomly within a specified interval. The model utilized to simulate the cellgrowth rate is the Swanson model, disregarding the term that follows the treatment and considering a constant diffusion coefficient per region. Attaining the exact solution of the Swanson model can aid in the treatment of specific cancer types, as implementing a more accurate model leads to a decrease in the destruction rate of healthy cells neighboring the cancerous cells.
Asymptotic homogenization of a problem for a wave equation on a microperiodic medium
Authors: Silva Douglas Machado da , Pérez-Fernández Leslie Darien , Molter Alexandre , Bravo-Castillero Julián
Published: February 2025

The asymptotic homogenization method is a mathematical technique that allows studying the physical properties of a microheterogeneous, periodic medium characterized by rapidly oscillating coefficients through a homogeneous medium that is asymptotically equivalent to the micro-heterogeneous medium. The method involves constructing a two-scale formal asymptotic solution of the original problem, and by applying mathematical formalism, a problem is formulated over a homogenized medium known as the homogenized problem. Utilizing maximum principles, it is proven that the solution to the homogenized problem is an asymptotic expansion of the solution to the original problem. This work aims to apply this method to a problem for a hyperbolic equation and demonstrate the proximity between the solutions.
Future Challenges of the Influence of Neuroscience on Mediation Process
Authors: Yakubov Ahtam
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the current and prospective future landscape of neurotechnology integration in mediation using a multi-disciplinary approach spanning law, neuroscience, technology ethics and alternative dispute resolution. It examines the theoretical promise and documented applications of neurotechnologies such as EEG, fMRI and tDCS to enhance mediation capabilities including improved perspective-taking, empathy, unbiased decision-making and mutual understanding between disputants based on empirical neuroscience. The research analyzes the extent of existing real-world integration in mediation processes, with a focus on adoption patterns in the emerging BRICS economies shaping global norms. Through doctrinal analysis and comparative scrutiny, major regulatory gaps are identified across BRICS countries concerning risks, consent protocols, accessibility safeguards, dispute resolution ethics codes and oversight mechanisms for accountable and rights-based neurotechnology use during mediation. To responsibly address these gaps, the study formulates a comprehensive governance framework encompassing licensing systems, training guidelines, technical specifications, human rights principles and BRICS coordination strategies to promote harmonized, socially beneficial advancement of neurotechnology integration in mediation. Evidence-based recommendations advocate urgent policy reforms to implement effective safeguards without impeding innovation. By elucidating promising capabilities alongside profound ethical dilemmas at the intersection of neuroscience, law and technology, this pioneering research provides constructive insights to guide stakeholders in responsibly steering the trajectory of neurotechnology-assisted mediation to enhance access to justice globally. Further research can validate and extend findings as the field evolves.
Legal Personhood of Autonomous Systems: A Jurisprudential Analysis
Authors: Inoyatov Nodirbek
Published: February 2025

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous systems has led to extensive debates on whether these entities should be granted legal personhood. This paper explores the legal frameworks, philosophical arguments, and policy considerations surrounding the attribution of legal personhood to AI. The study examines key legislative efforts, such as the European Parliament's 2017 resolution on AI legal personhood, and assesses the ethical, economic, and regulatory implications. While some scholars advocate for an “electronic personality” model, others highlight accountability gaps and risks associated with AI autonomy. The findings suggest that AI legal personhood remains a contested concept, with prevailing legal doctrines favoring strict liability over autonomous legal recognition.

Supply Chain Management (SCM) Perspectives, Practices, and Strategies: A Private and Public Sector Comparative Study
Authors: Hafiza Al Haya Sarfaraz  , Dr. Noman Ahsan  , Muhammad Ajmal  , Erum Mateen
Published: February 2025

This examination explores the variations in perceptions of supply chain management (SCM) techniques, topics, tools, and strategies among procurement professionals in public and private sector businesses. To achieve this, a survey was performed among procurement experts from a Fortune 100 company and a municipal employer in Pakistan. The accrued statistics were analyzed to evaluate differences in SCM perceptions in the sample and whether these variations correlated with formal schooling stages. Key findings screen that public sector procurement specialists generally tend to understand SCM as a constrained characteristic centered on shopping, while their sector opposite numbers view it as a strategic manner requiring move-purposeful coordination. Public sector respondents suggested lower stages of formal education compared to those inside the private sector. The study additionally found that SCM-associated subjects, equipment, and strategies maintain greater importance for private-sector experts than for the ones inside the public sector. However, respondents from both sectors acknowledged the important role of ethics and moral behaviour in powerful SCM practices.
Representasi Ideologi Patriarki Dalam Film Sabtu Bersama Bapak (Analisis Semiotika John Fiske)
Authors: Rahman Agung Hidayatu , Wenerda Indah
Published: February 2025

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis representasi ideologi patriarki dalam film Sabtu Bersama Bapak melalui pendekatan semiotika John Fiske. Film ini, yang diadaptasi dari novel karya Adhitya Mulya, menampilkan narasi hubungan keluarga yang sarat dengan nilai-nilai budaya patriarki. Pendekatan semiotika John Fiske digunakan untuk menguraikan lapisan makna dalam representasi visual dan naratif, meliputi level realitas, representasi, dan ideologi. Penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa film tersebut merefleksikan nilai-nilai patriarki melalui penggambaran figur ayah sebagai pusat otoritas keluarga, norma gender yang mengutamakan peran laki-laki sebagai pemimpin, serta tekanan sosial terhadap perempuan untuk mematuhi peran domestik. Representasi ini diperkuat melalui elemen teknis seperti dialog, pencahayaan, dan framing yang menekankan hierarki gender dalam hubungan keluarga. Meski demikian, film ini juga menyisipkan upaya untuk menyeimbangkan narasi dengan memperlihatkan karakter perempuan yang berdaya, meskipun masih berada dalam batasan norma patriarki. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ideologi patriarki tetap mendominasi dalam film Sabtu Bersama Bapak, meskipun terdapat indikasi transformasi nilai-nilai gender yang lebih inklusif. Temuan ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi dalam kajian budaya populer dan gender, serta membuka ruang diskusi kritis mengenai bagaimana media, khususnya film, merepresentasikan dan mempertahankan struktur ideologi tertentu. Analisis ini juga menggarisbawahi pentingnya literasi media dalam memahami dampak ideologi yang disampaikan melalui karya visual terhadap persepsi masyarakat.
Evaluating Supply Chain Transformation of Passenger Vehicle Industry Towards Manufacturing in Bangladesh
Authors: Uddin Md. Rubaiat , Chowdhury Hasan Maksud , Bin Mamtaz Al Fattah
Published: February 2025

Bangladesh is classified as a lower-middle-income economy by the World Bank, with a Gross National Income (GNI) per capita of $2,824. It is also designated as a Least Developed Country (LDC) by the United Nations, based on low income, human asset deficits, and economic vulnerability. However, in February 2021, the UN Committee for Development Policy (CDP) recommended Bangladesh for LDC graduation, recognizing its progress in income growth, human development, and economic resilience. Bangladesh, which is the second largest economy in South Asia gained independence in 1971. Nearly 54 years have passed, yet customers in the passenger vehicle segment predominantly rely on used, reconditioned cars imported from Japan. These vehicles, allowed for import up to five years after manufacture, continue to dominate the market. However, there is a growing need to shift toward locally manufactured, brand-new vehicles to advance the country's automobile sector. Establishing a domestic automobile manufacturing industry could drive employment, strengthen the local economy, and improve living standards. Thus, many prime points come into limelight like consumer behaviour, government support and infrastructural capability. This study explores the future of the automotive supply chain in Bangladesh, focusing on identifying key factors that could drive its transformation. Utilizing a hypothesis-driven research design, the study analyzes survey responses to uncover consumer preferences and emerging trends shaping the industry. The findings provide critical insights into the potential shift from a reliance on imported reconditioned vehicles to localized manufacturing, highlighting opportunities and challenges within the evolving automotive landscape of Bangladesh.
Microfinance Cooperation Base On Loan Sharks
Authors: Hasan Asyari , Prasetyowati Riris Aishah
Published: February 2025

This study aims to observe the motivational factors for the moneylender business of the Batak tribe known as shark loans. The discriminant analysis method is used to classify motivation into two different factors based on the pull and push theory. The testing was also carried out on two different groups of respondents, namely the favorable and the unfavorable. These results show that the determining factors for the motivation of borrower customers in the loanshark cooperative in this case are divided into two parts, namely; 1) pulling factors consisting of; independence, money, challenges/achievements, seeing opportunities, and lifestyle. 2) driving factors consisting of; job dissatisfaction, changes in the world of work, assistance from employers, and the needs of children/families. The results of the study prove that overall, all of these determining factors contribute to the Batak moneylender business. The Batak moneylender business based on the motivation factor of the pull and push theory in both community groups that support and oppose the Batak moneylender business shows that its existence is still very much needed, reaching 66.5%. Because the weak economic community in general do not have access to banking and do not have adequate requirements for creditworthiness or bank loans.
Processus de transformation urbaine du Rocher de Constantine entre 1837–1937 : la metamorphose d’un paysage urbain

Published: February 2025

This article traces the evolution of the urban landscape of Constantine's Rock and its Medina during French colonisation. It examines the transformations and restructuring of the urban fabric between 1837 and 1937. Various archival materials were collected and analysed, including written documents, maps, and photographs. This analysis enabled us to ascertain the chronology of urban transformation operations on the traditional fabric and observe the changes in the urban landscape of Constantine's Rock during the study period.
The findings demonstrate the scale of demolition and restructuring operations on the existing fabric and the substantial creation of new urban and architectural forms influenced by Western European norms. Ultimately, these urban transformations resulted in a near-total transformation of the traditional urban landscape of Constantine’s Rock and the gradual disappearance of the millennia-old Medina.
THE PHILOSOPHICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF GOETHE’S FARBENLEHRE FOR HEGEL
Authors:   Potsdam University, Kabeshkin Anton
Published: February 2025

In this paper, I discuss Hegel’s reception of Goethe’s theory of colors and attempt to shed light on its philosophical significance for Hegel. I start with an overview of the central themes and concepts in Goethe’s theory, focusing in particular on primordial phenomena, polarity, intensification, complementarity of colors, and Goethe’s anti-reductionism. I then argue that it is especially the principle of polarity, as well as Goethe’s anti-reductionism about the domain of color phenomena, that were attractive for Hegel and played the most significant role in his discussion of Goethe’s theory. Finally, I argue that Hegel’s interest in polarity is connected with his view that this principle anticipates, in a sensuous and not fully adequate way, his own account of the concept as the fundamental structure of reality.
GOETHE’S ZUR FARBENLEHRE (1810) AND ARTHUR SEGAL’S DAS LICHTPROBLEM IN DER MALEREI (1925)
Authors:   Institutul de filosofie și psihologie „Constantin Rădulescu-Motru” al Academiei Române, Kessler Erwin
Published: February 2025

Goethe’s Zur Farbenlehre (1810) and Arthur Segal’s Das Lichtproblem in der Malerei (1925) deal with the various assessments, considerations and usages of Goethe’s Theory of Colours on the background of the aesthetics of the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries. The paper follows Goethe’s appreciation of his own research and theory of colours throughout his lifetime, as it emerges from his Conversations with Eckermann. This contribution frames Goethe’s artistic activities as an interpretative context of his theories of the colour spectrum. A special attention is paid to the relationship between Goethe and the painter Philip Otto Runge, with whom he had an exchange of letters and conversations about the chromatic spectrum. The relevance of Goethe’s work is further examined from the point of view of early modernist artists such as John Mallord William Turner, but also from the point of view of later theories of colour such as the one of the French chemist Michel Eugène Chevreul, who strongly influenced the emergence of Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism. After presenting the protracted criticism of Goethe’s colour theory by Wittgenstein, who doubted the factual truth that Goethe’s theory was influential upon artists, the paper addresses the way in which the Theory of Colours was assimilated and distorted in Kandinsky and especially in the theory of the Romanian-born painter Arthur Segal. The latter published in 1925 Das Lichtproblem in der Malerei and invoked both Newton and Goethe in order to articulate a theory of the utopian, optical equilibrium in painting, a theory based on the Goethean ideal of a world of perfect colour harmony, possibly emerging only in painting.
PERSPECTIVE ASUPRA LIBERULUI ARBITRU: DE LA DUMNEZEU A MURIT LA PARADOX
Authors:   independent, Nicolae Ioana Cristina
Published: February 2025

This work is the second part of a work published in 2022 („The Concept of the Free Will in the Philosophy of the Eternal Recurrence”), where I elaborated on the concepts of the free will and the eternal recurrence in the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. I chose to present in this article the point of view of Søren Kierkegaard that corrects and completes the overthrow of all values that takes place in Nietzsche’s writings. If the German philosopher states a type of freedom achieved through extrem individualism and personal morality, Kierkegaard withholds the freedom that emerges from the relation with God and a free will dependent on choices that can dissapear (alongside freedom) when the individual does not respect (conciously or not) the paradox of faith and does not take into account God when making a decision.
LEBENSWELT – UN CONCEPT DESPRE LUCRURILE ÎNSELE
Authors:   Universitatea București, Medeșan Alexandru
Published: February 2025

In this paper, the concept of lifeworld (German: Lebenswelt) is expounded by focusing on the Husserlian notions that preceded it. The translatability of the term is discussed by arguing for preserving the original German word. It is argued that Lebenswelt holds an essential place among Husserl’s and other phenomenological concepts. The influence of this concept on the development of philosophy is also discussed.
Influence of seasonal and latitude changes in solar radiation on the synthesis of plastid pigments
Authors: Kolomiet Irina
Published: February 2025

In the presented work, using the example of carotenoids and tetrapyrroles, the environmental conditionality of plastid pigment synthesis is substantiated. In the homologous series of the genus Viola, it is shown that the genetically determined synthesis of carotenoids and tetrapyrroles is an adaptation to the circadian rhythms of solar radiation and to variations in its quantitative and qualitative characteristics. An attempt is made to expand the area of prediction of the homological series law in hereditary variability, namely, knowing expression of the morph-forming factor for the homological series of one species, one can assume the time and location of parallel forms in other related species.

Champa immigrants in Malaysia: Environmental and social- psychological adaptation
Authors: Zhou Yahui , Muhamad Asyaari , Ramli Zuliskandar
Published: February 2025

Culturally and historically, the migration of Champa immigrants to Malaysia shows the complicated interaction  between  environmental  adaptation  and  social-psychological  procedures  as   a  significant  event.  From   1975,  this  migration was part of a government-led immigration policy that caused the first generation of Champa immigrants to  Malaysia. With cultural ecology and social identity principle, the study examines how these immigrants have overcome  to environmental challenges and controlled social and mental variations over the past five decades. Based on fieldwork,  interviews, and file analysis, the research digs ecological adaptation measures, cultural identity protection, and the  difficulties  of  marginalization  and  integration  into  Malaysian   society.  From   a  cultural  ecology  view,   Champa  immigrants show tough abilities to adapt to their environment and sustain their livelihoods by agriculture, fishing, and  trade in many areas. These conventional activities provide financial  steadiness and cultivate association with local  Malaysian communities. However, the integration procedure is usually impeded by systemic marginalization, leading to  relatively  restricted  involvement  in  wider  Malaysian  social  and  cultural  frameworks.  On  basis  of  social  identity  principle, how Champa immigrants actively preserve their cultural identity by conventional customs, religious measures, and cultural rituals, is highlighted. These act as core points of their collective identity and an origin of resilience against  assimilation  stress.  This  dual  attention  to  ecological  adaptation  and  cultural  identity,  and  also  emphasizes  how  immigrants control the difficulties of a novel environment and protect a deep relationship with their cultural roots. The  outcomes highlight the interconnection among the environment, social identity, and community resilience, providing  precious  understandings  of the  complicated  procedures  of migration,  adaptation,  and  the  protection  of  culture  in  diasporic communities.
Legal Paradigms in Addressing Social Polarization on Social Media
Authors: Yusup Aldian
Published: February 2025

This research aims to explore the legal paradigm in overcoming social polarization that is increasingly sharp on social media. This polarization is exacerbated by digital platform algorithms that reinforce "echo chambers" and the spread of certain interest-based content, including disinformation and hate speech. This phenomenon triggers ideological segregation and social conflicts that threaten the stability of society and democracy. The study uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach, analyzing journal articles, books, and policy documents from the last five years (2018–2023) that are relevant to law and social media. The data collection technique is carried out through a systematic document review, while data analysis uses a thematic approach to map the main patterns and concepts related to legal regulations and digital platforms. The findings of the study show that an adaptive and inclusivity-based legal paradigm is needed to overcome the challenges of social polarization. Regulations should include algorithmic transparency, content moderation, and human rights protections without sacrificing freedom of speech. In addition, collaboration between the government, social media platforms, and the public is needed to create a healthy digital space. This research makes a significant contribution to the development of legal and technological literature and offers policy recommendations that can be applied practically to reduce the impact of social polarization in the digital era.

The Editorial: Minimum requirements to publish with SJORANM
Authors: Mosler Frank , Nöldge Gerd
Published: February 2025

"Manners maketh man." This phrase is attributed to William of Wykeham (1324–1404) and conveys the idea that good manners and education are essential in shaping a true human being. The expression has also gained wider recognition through the film "Kingsman: The Secret Service".
William of Wykeham was an English bishop, chancellor, and the founder of New College, Oxford (1379) and Winchester College (1382)—one of England’s oldest schools. He played a significant role in English politics and education during the reigns of Edward III and Richard II. His influence on education and architecture was profound, and the institutions he founded continue to exist today.
Approximately 700 years after William of Wykeham, we now benefit from advancements such as the printing press, the internet, and electronic communication. The achievements of the natural sciences and the scientific method represent milestones in human progress—progress that would not have been possible without well-established communication practices and internationally recognized publication standards. One of the most fundamental principles of communication is politeness and respect toward one's interlocutors. Good manners and critical self-reflection are learnable character traits that enhance interpersonal communication. This principle also applies when interacting with artificial intelligence.
When asked, "Why are you polite in your communication with humans?", ChatGPT responds as follows:
"I am polite because politeness is a fundamental form of respect and fosters positive, constructive communication. People generally respond better to respectful and friendly interactions, leading to more meaningful conversations and a more pleasant exchange. Additionally, politeness reflects what is considered good behavior in many cultures—much like the famous motto 'Manners maketh man'."

Published: February 2025

El artículo tiene como objetivo analizar las brechas de desigualdad de género en Latinoamérica, priorizando en la educación desde un enfoque intercultural, en lo laboral y en el cuidado. Estas distancias son disparidades entre varones y féminas en lo concerniente a dignidad, derechos y libertades. La metodología integra el enfoque cualitativo, diseño hermenéutico y como técnicas se utilizó la revisión documental de diferentes estudios, con el propósito de identificar avances y nudos críticos para la reducción de estas brechas, que oriente a los responsables del diseño de políticas públicas el direccionamiento de estas al logro de la igualdad. Los hallazgos del análisis ratifican que, aunque las tasas de matrícula escolar se han incrementado, todavía hay diferencias en lo concerniente a tasas de graduación, permanencia y reducida vinculación de las mujeres en carreras ubicadas en profesiones de las ciencias duras. Las féminas también tienen menos participación en el mercado y, cuando se vinculan laboralmente, con frecuencia reciben una remuneración menor y tienen menos oportunidades de promoción que los hombres. Además, el cuidado remunerado y no remunerado sigue siendo en su mayoría una responsabilidad femenina.

Since the 1970s Portmán, a small town on the coast of Murcia, has been surrounded by a growing tourism sector. While much of Murcia’s coastline was being developed for tourism purposes, Portmán made its living from mining. But the town’s mining industry began to decline in the 1980s and finally disappeared in 1991, leaving behind a devastated environmental and social landscape; the bay that the town overlooks had been completely filled with mining waste. This paper enquires at the changes in the practices and discourses around tourism development, as displayed by the community’s interest groups.

Desde la década de 1970, Portmán, un pueblo minero de la costa de Murcia, vio desarrollarse el turismo de sol y playa en el resto del litoral, mientras su economía seguía basada en la minería. Sin embargo, tras un lento declinar en los años 80, la actividad minera desapareció en 1991, dejando un paisaje medioambiental y social tremendamente impactado, en el que destaca la desaparición de la bahía frente al pueblo, rellena de escorias mineras. Este artículo indaga en los cambios en las prácticas y discursos sobre el desarrollo turístico, tal y como los muestran los grupos de interés comunitarios.
