Activities of the Federal Labor and Employment Service Aimed at Prevention of Violations in the Labor Sphere: The Current Status and Development Prospects
Authors: Sapfirova Apollinaria A. ,   LL.D., Associate Professor, Head of the Department of Land, Labor and Environmental Law of the Kuban
Published: July 2024

The article examines the issues of modern preventive activities of Rostrud, outlines the prospects for its development taking into account the new law on state (municipal) control (supervision), the Concept for improving control (supervisory) activities until 2026 and the Program for the prevention of risks of harm (damage) to legally protected values in the 2024 Examining these standards, as well as emphasizing the importance of a preventive visit as a mandatory preventive measure for the employer, the author proposes to include self-examination among the preventive measures of Rostrud and shows its relationship with the preventive visit. The author shows the prospects for the use of self-examinations by Rostrud (its use by state labor inspectors) and proposes to conduct their rating. Separately, the author considers the issue of measures to stimulate the conscientious legal behavior of employers, the criteria of conscientiousness and their impact on the determination of categories and the formation of the reputation of employers. The importance of maintaining the employer’s digital file and constant monitoring of incoming information is emphasized, as well as the prospects for creating a digital office of the state labor inspector to assess the effectiveness of their work and the targeting of the implementation of preventive and control (supervisory) measures.

Authors: Izyumova Evgenia S. ,   PhD (Law), Judge of the Inta City Court of the Komi Republic
Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the problem of introducing reconciliation of the parties as a basis for termination of proceedings in an administrative offense case. The article provides a comparative analysis of the grounds for termination of proceedings in a criminal case and in an administrative offense case with homogeneous objects, according to the results of which the author concludes about the different scope of rights granted by the legislator to persons brought to criminal and administrative responsibility. Based on the results of the studied material, the scientific work concludes that there is an obvious need to reform administrative and tort legislation by implementing reconciliation of the parties as a basis for terminating proceedings on an administrative offense in an administrative and tort process, which will ensure a fair balance of the scope of rights of persons brought to administrative and criminal responsibility, as well as public interests and rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of the individual.

Revised Editions of the Prajnaparamitahrdaya and Xīn jīng
Authors: Attwood Jayarava
Published: July 2024

The commonly used Sanskrit and Chinese editions of the Heart Sutra have both been found to be faulty or misread in minor but important ways (Nattier 1992, Huifeng 2014, and Attwood 2015, 2018, 2020a, 2021a). These faults and misreadings have consistently been overlooked to the detriment of Heart Sutra studies. This article combines published observations to revise the standard Heart Sutra editions in both Sanskrit and Chinese. The Sanskrit text is fully parsable, possibly for the first time. The revised texts are accompanied by translations that reflect the epistemic hermeneutic proposed in Attwood (2022a).
For convenience, the revised editions and translations are also provided as standalone supplements:

Identity, Creativity and Performance Spaces in Wales and Southwest England
Authors: Fincher Pip , McLoughlin John , Lee Morgan , Andoh Appiah Gifty
Published: July 2024

Globally, performative spaces and venues of artistic creativity are governed by sets of conventions which impact the creative process. In this article, we discuss the experiences of four different creatives, operating in four different creative spaces.  A poet and football player, a theatre producer and script writer, a gallery curator, and a ballet dancer have all shared their experiences of how traditionally white and heteronormative discourses regulate their respective creative spaces, the ways they conform to or transgress these norms, and the ways their interactions with their chosen creative spaces affect their creativity. These creatives have identities which are somehow ‘marked’, somehow ‘different’ from the ‘norms’ Wales and South-West England. Whether members of the LGBTQ+ community, migrants to Wales from European and Caribbean countries, or being a different race to many around them, the creatives all have complicated interactions with the norms of their creative spaces within Wales and South-West England. These creative’s identities often clash with an entrenched lack of diversity and the broader expectations of British society. Despite, or perhaps, because of, these conflicts and tensions, each of the creatives discussed here found immense joy in the relationship between their identity/ies and their creative spaces and discovered how their own identity/ies are a central driving force for their creativity. Regardless of the differences of their mediums, each creative interviewed sought to centre their identity, to help them create art which can challenge dominant white and heteronormative discourses in wider British society.
Motivational dynamics and training experiences among female Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioners
Authors: Andersen Brevig Emma , Mehus Ingar , Mark Williams Jonathan , Øvretveit Karsten
Published: July 2024

This study explored achievement goal orientations, perceptions of the motivational climate, and experiences during training among female Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) practitioners. 137 active female practitioners from 26 countries were included. Our findings revealed that female BJJ practitioners shared a similar emphasis on mastery approach goals as their male counterparts. A notable difference was observed for perceptions of the motivational climate, with female practitioners perceiving the climate as more mastery-oriented than males. We also found relationships between motivational dynamics and factors such as rank, training duration and experience, instructor status, and competition participation. Overall, female BJJ practitioners exhibit a strong emphasis on mastery goals and generally perceive the training climate as mastery-orientated, suggesting an inclination towards adaptive behavior in challenging situations. These results reaffirm the compatibility between mastery goals and competitive martial arts practice and provide a novel characterization of the motivational dynamics of active female grapplers.
Movements that Matter: How Martial Arts Studies Can Reframe the Ethics of First-Blush Empathy
Authors: Katz Peter
Published: July 2024

If empathy is how bodies resonate with one another, and ethics is what we are meant to do with that resonance, consideration of the ethics of empathy must begin with the split-second, non-conscious resonance between bodies: first-blush empathy. By combining the expertise of academics and practitioners of bodily knowledge, martial arts studies can distinctively consider how to cultivate the most ethical responses to others. This disciplinary argument takes physical form through a reading of a practice from Shotokan Aiki-karate-do that opposes hyper-attention to self or other with cultivated non-attention. To unpack these principles, the essay then uses philosophy of mind from to illustrate how attention provides a more compelling description of this initial bodily response to other bodies than intention. To most ethically engage others without imposing our own knowledge or self-absorption, we should cultivate deliberate habits of receptivity around first-blush empathy.
Autobiographical accounts of military hand-to-hand combat
Authors: Jensen Peter , Smith Matthew , Sampson Jack
Published: July 2024

The current study examines autobiographical accounts of soldiers to enhance our understanding of the demands faced, and the subsequent emotional responses experienced, during the military combat task of hand-to-hand fighting. Nine autobiographies with descriptions of military hand-to-hand fighting were sampled, and three themes were developed: unexpected, life-threatening, and killing. The findings extend the current literature by illustrating the severe psychological strain soldiers face from hand-to-hand fighting situations, such as having to apply lethal actions against an opponent, and suggesting how in situ cognitive performance degradations can result from the encountered fear-based affective components. Based on this study, recommendations are offered to enhance representativeness in training for military hand-to-hand fighting. The autobiographical analysis in this study presents an approach for enhancing existing and future interview-based research that explores affective components of martial arts that prepare for violent conflicts.

Trend of Home Economics Curriculum Research by the Curriculum Period and Journals
Authors: Kwon Boeun , Bae Jinhee , Choi Kyeongeun , Song Yeo Min , Yu Nan Sook , Baek Hee Yeon ,   Korean Home Economics Education Association
Published: July 2024

This study examined the trends in home economics education research across different curriculum periods and journals. A total of 374 papers related to the 2009, 2015, and 2022 revised curricula were selected and analyzed using network analysis from four journals. First, research trends were analyzed by curriculum period. Keyword frequency analysis revealed that articles on the 2009 and 2015 revised curricula primarily focused on analyzing the curriculum to develop textbooks or programs. In contrast, papers on the 2022 revised curriculum explored broader directions. Topic modeling results highlighted the prominent topics for each period: ‘environmental education’ in the 2009 revised curriculum, ‘safety and health education’ in the 2015 revised curriculum, and ‘ecological transition’ in the 2022 revised curriculum. Second, research trends were analyzed by journal. Keyword frequency analysis by journal exposed specific research tendencies. For example, in the Journal of Home Economics Research, ‘perceptions of practical classes’ and ‘analysis of safety textbooks’ were major topics for the 2009 revised curriculum, while ‘teaching and learning plans for competence development’ dominated research on the 2015 revised curriculum. This study demonstrates that the concepts and goals emphasized in curriculum revisions are reflected in the corresponding research.
El cambio de calidad: un enfoque sociológico sobre la elaboración de vinos en el Abruzo teramano y el posible desarrollo a través del enoturismo
Authors: Spineti Greta , Nico Bortoletto
Published: July 2024

En este artículo se traza la historia del desarrollo de la producción de vino en el Abruzo, una región en el centro de Italia, en la provincia de Teramo, a través de la investigación bibliográfica. Se centra en el cambio de paradigma adoptado durante la segunda mitad del siglo pasado, cuando los vinicultores comenzaron a orientarse hacia la producción de vinos de calidad, incluso a expensas de la cantidad. El marco teórico sobre la sociedad moderna y sus implicaciones con tradiciones e innovaciones se basa en las ideas de Beck et al. (1997), según las cuales la tradición se considera un medio para replicar el pasado. La hipótesis aquí es que el patrimonio cultural representado por el vino, la producción de vino y lo que estos pueden crear (es decir, el paisaje) pueden convertirse en verdaderos impulsores del turismo en el norte del Abruzo, como sucedió en Mendoza, Argentina. En el contexto del desarrollo regional y la innovación, hay esperanzas de un mayor énfasis en el enoturismo, capaz de generar desarrollo social y económico y una mayor protección del territorio, como se ha visto en Argentina. Las investigaciones revelan el potencial no aprovechado de la región italiana, principalmente debido a obstáculos tecnológicos. En este sentido, la literatura respalda la idea de que las rutas del vino podrían ser un medio válido para promover y desarrollar la cultura y el patrimonio local.
Sistemas de indicaciones geográficas, un debate en transformación. Reflexiones desde regiones y países vitivinícolas emergentes
Authors: Salas Quesada Maria del Carmen
Published: July 2024

En el agronegocio del vino, las representaciones colectivas, como los sistemas de indicaciones geográficas, se crean para proteger la calidad y diferenciar cada región productora en el mercado nacional e internacional. En la actualidad, la diversidad del escenario vitivinícola global, las nuevas demandas de los consumidores y los cambios socioambientales están invitando a repensar este tipo de sistemas de protección de la calidad y a enriquecer el debate en relación con las posibles alternativas a estos. En ese contexto, el presente trabajo explora las opiniones acerca de dicho debate desde regiones y países vitivinícolas emergentes, como es el caso de Sonora, en México. Estos espacios se encuentran en una fase de crecimiento, experimentación y desarrollo que permite analizar cómo se percibe la posibilidad de adoptar y regular modelos de protección geográfica y los desafíos asociados a este tipo de estrategias de clasificación y valorización. Asimismo, a nivel más amplio, este análisis busca reflexionar respecto a la creación de formas alternativas de diferenciar y representar colectivamente la calidad y el valor asociado al lugar de origen de la producción vitivinícola. Lo anterior, finalmente, con el objetivo de comprender en profundidad los cambios a los que se enfrenta la diversificación y transformación de la industria vitivinícola actual en América Latina y a nivel global.
Construcciones discursivas de nuevas empresas vitivinícolas en la provincia de San Juan, Argentina
Authors: Fili Juan Pablo
Published: July 2024

Durante la década de 1990, en la provincia de San Juan, Argentina, se promovieronuna serie de proyectos agrícolas que produjeron una reorganización territorial de lafrontera del vino. Dichas transformaciones impulsadas por la Ley 22.021 se dieron en uncontexto de críticas hacia la política de diferimientos. El objetivo de la presente investigaciónfue analizar las nuevas construcciones discursivas emergentes a partir de dicha política abordandola trayectoria de la identidad regional y sus tensiones. A partir de un diseño de investigaciónflexible que combinó técnicas de análisis documental, análisis de datos estadísticos yentrevistas en profundidad, se indagó en las estrategias discursivas adoptadas por las empresasbeneficiadas con diferimientos. Se concluye que esta nueva etapa provocó tensiones en laidentidad tradicional vitivinícola. La llegada de nuevas empresas y la diversificación hacia laolivicultura, impulsada por estos incentivos fiscales, contribuyeron a la transformación de lanarrativa identitaria centenaria de San Juan. Las tradicionales valoraciones agrarias sobre lasque la vitivinicultura había descansado fueron desplazadas por una construcción menos cohesiva,es decir, más particularizada, empresa por empresa, lo cual marcó una diferenciaciónidentitaria con el período anterior. A su vez, se dio un proceso de reapropiación material ysimbólica donde se fusionaron imágenes tradicionales con otras nuevas.
La viticultura en Jumilla (España). Aportaciones al desarrollo territorial sostenible
Authors: Morales Yago Francisco José
Published: July 2024

El desarrollo sostenible es un concepto que aparece por primera vez con la publicación del Informe Brundtland (Comisión Mundial sobre Medio Ambiente y Desarrollo, 1987), que alertaba de las consecuencias medioambientales negativas del desarrollo económico y la globalización y trataba de buscar posibles soluciones a los problemas derivados de la industrialización y el crecimiento de la población sobre el paisaje y el territorio. La viticultura supone una práctica agrícola respetuosa con el medioambiente y, concretamente, en el estudio de caso que nos ocupa, cuyo tema es la denominación de origen de Jumilla, ha sido uno de los principales motores económicos de este territorio. La viticultura supone importantes oportunidades para el desarrollo económico y social, consolida puestos de trabajo y respeta el equilibrio medioambiental. A través de la metodología ofrecida por análisis de debilidades, amenazas, fortalezas y oportunidades (DAFO) y la explotación de datos estadísticos ofrecidos por organismos oficiales, se observa la creciente importancia de cultivos de temporada que están sustituyendo a las plantaciones de viñedo y otros cultivos tradicionales, ya que ofrecen mayor rentabilidad, aunque producen efectos medioambientales negativos por el uso de pesticidas, así como un consumo de agua que pone en peligro la capacidad de recarga de los acuíferos. Es necesario incrementar el cultivo de la vid y promover nuevas actividades relacionadas con el enoturismo que puedan ayudar a la competitividad del cultivo a través de una rentabilidad competitiva que ayudará a fijar población y salvaguardar el valor de la tierra, sus paisajes y un patrimonio ambiental heredado desde hace casi dos milenios.
El calentamiento global devuelve la viña a tierras polacas
Authors: Miętkiewska-Brynda Joanna , Makowski Jerzy
Published: July 2024

Polonia no es un país que cualquiera asociaría con la cultura del vino y los paisajes vinícolas, aunque no fue así en el pasado. Hasta finales de la época medieval europea, en el sur y suroeste de las tierras de la Polonia contemporánea, los viñedos eran un rasgo frecuente del paisaje cultural y el vino, independientemente del autoconsumo, era un lucrativo objeto de comercio con los países escandinavos (sin competir con los países mediterráneos). La Pequeña Edad de Hielo y las guerras, seguidas de la repartición de Polonia entre vecinos poderosos: Rusia, Prusia y Austria-Hungría, y una política socialista de planificación centralizada, acabaron con la producción de vino en Polonia. Hoy asistimos a un renacimiento de la producción nacional de vino y a la expansión de los viñedos a una escala sin precedentes. También asistimos al regreso de los paisajes vinícolas a tierras polacas. Las razones de este retorno a tradiciones casi olvidadas son complejas. En el presente texto intentaremos esbozarlas, aunque cada vez está más claro que el calentamiento global está desempeñando un papel importante en el cambio del mapa vitivinícola del mundo. El cambio del clima está perjudicando a muchos cultivos, pero la vid en Polonia goza de su favor.
Disputas corporativas en torno a la creación de indicaciones geográficas vitivinícolas en Mendoza, Argentina
Authors: Larsimont Robin , Martín Facundo
Published: July 2024

El actual régimen agroalimentario corporativo y neoliberal está reconfigurando activamente la geografía mundial de la vitivinicultura que conocíamos hasta el momento. La creciente competencia internacional exacerba las estrategias regionales de distinción de los productos y sus mecanismos de patrimonialización. Así lo demuestra la proliferación de dispositivos de normalización y delimitación de zonas productivas. Más allá de las querellas intercontinentales que han suscitado en el pasado, en la actualidad se revelan conflictos y tensiones entre escalas, entrelazando acelerada y frágilmente actores y territorios en la conformación de lugares vitivinícolas que necesitan ser delimitados y reconocidos institucionalmente. En este trabajo analizamos las disputas por la definición de la indicación geográfica del Paraje Altamira en el oasis del Valle de Uco en Mendoza, Argentina, con el fin de desentrañar las estrategias de legitimación desplegadas por actores empresariales, científicos y estatales, y las relaciones de poder que se establecen entre ellos en el marco de la territorialización vitivinícola corporativa. El diagnóstico de este caso de estudio nos permitirá valorar críticamente la emergencia de otras nuevas iniciativas similares que dieron lugar a una compleja y jerárquica producción de escalas.
De la viña a la etiqueta: la evolución del diseño de etiquetas y publicidades de vino en la década del sesenta en Mendoza, Argentina
Authors: Copia María Laura
Published: July 2024

Este artículo pretende indagar sobre las modificaciones y transformaciones en el diseño de etiquetas de vino y su protagonismo en publicidades a la luz del incremento inédito de vino en la década del sesenta en la provincia de Mendoza, Argentina. En la década que abordamos, entre el año 1958 a 1970, este fenómeno se vio fortalecido por innovaciones en los canales de distribución y estrategias de promoción, tanto empresariales como estatales. En forma simultánea, este período vio nacer la conformación del Diseño como campo disciplinar en nuestra provincia, por lo que tratamos de verificar si el diseño de las etiquetas recibió aportes de este nuevo campo disciplinar y en qué medida reflejó los cambios en el sector vitivinícola. Para ello, además de la bibliografía existente, consultamos repositorios y colecciones de etiquetas, y revistas de la época, privilegiando en nuestro análisis la publicación Vinos, Viñas y Frutas, órgano de difusión de la Asociación Vitivinícola Argentina.
Analysis of Students' Understanding of the Carbon Cycle through the GCCDI Approach in Environmental Chemistry Education
Authors: Shabrina Annida Nurul , Nursaadah Euis
Published: July 2024

This study aims to analyze the understanding of first and second-year Chemistry Education students about the global carbon cycle. The design of this research is descriptive research, using the Global Carbon Cycle Diagnostic Instrument (GCCDI) instrument with 11 questions. The subjects of this study were first- and second-year undergraduate students of Chemistry Education at Bengkulu University, with a total of 15 students in each group. The students' understanding was analyzed qualitatively through the survey method. The data were analyzed and categorized into four groups: understand, misconception, doubt, and do not understand for the GCCDI. The students' understanding was categorized into simple, medium, and complex schemes for the survey method. The results indicated that, for first- and second-year students, respectively, the category of understanding comprised 53.31% and 58% of responses, the misconception category accounted for 22.38% and 27.24%, the doubtful category represented 4.8% and 6.65%, and the category of "does not understand" comprised 19% and 7.85%. The survey method was employed to analyze the responses of first- and second-year students on three schemes: simple (40% and 20%), medium (26.6% and 33.3%), and complex (33.3% and 46.6%). The low level of understanding of the carbon cycle indicates the need for more effective learning approaches, such as in-depth curriculum development, the use of interactive learning methods, and the integration of technology to improve students' understanding of the carbon cycle concept in the broader context of science.

From micro financial statements to macro accounting: an integrated model based on the measurement approach
Authors: Hauque Sergio Miguel ,   Universidad Nacional del Litoral, Facultad de Ciencias Económicas, Santa Fe, Argentina
Published: July 2024

The nomenclature in national, public, and financial account-ing, while sharing a common noun, has yet to explore potential synergies. despite accounting’s capacity for powerful analysis at micro and macro levels, the persistent microaccounting-macroaccounting dichotomy limits these synergies. Despite modest reception, scholars have explored con-verging Accounting into a comprehensive discipline, emphasizing inter-connections between macro and micro levels. This study presents a conceptual model spanning micro, meso, and macro fundamental accounting identities. Employing abstract concepts like Di-chev and Tang (2008), Dichev (2008, 2017), and Miller & Bahnson (2010), it organizes economic value stocks and flows from micro to macro levels. Aligned with Scott’s concept of accounting under ideal conditions (2015), it’s grounded in beaver’s measurement approach (1989). The study con-firms, through micro accounting consolidation, that only real assets con-stitute society’s concrete capital. It outlines cyclic dynamics of rental phe-nomena from diverse assets, accruing rental values at each aggregation level. This analytical approach aids understanding accounting’s nature and identifies avenues for future research, including empirical estimation and periodic reassessment of abstract categories.
A Preliminary Study of The Javan Leopard Behaviour in Meru Betiri National Park
Authors: Kholiq Nur , Sucipto Adi
Published: July 2024

Meru Betiri National Park (MBNP, 526km2), is one of only three protected areas in east Java that can support a viable Javan leopard population. The Javan leopard has become a priority for management following the extinction of the Javan tiger. Therefore, it is important to know how the Javan Leopard behaves to improve species management. We conducted a field study using camera traps to determine the daily behavior of the Javan leopard in MBNP. A monitoring site was established with 73 stations, with a density of one station per 0.5 x 0.5 km grid cell, providing different but comparable densities and spatial coverage. The results indicate that the Javan leopard displays 9 daily behaviors including walking, observing, standing, cheek rubbing, scraping, urine spraying, claw marking, parenting, vocalizing, and others. Each behavior was observed with a relative frequency of walking (63.25%), observing (14.53%), standing (7.69%), cheek rubbing (5.98%), scraping (4.27%), urine spraying (1.71%), claw marking (0.85%), parenting (0.85%) and vocalizing (0.85%). An analysis of the time spent on each behavior revealed their proportion as follows: walking (382 s, 49.29%), watching (208 s, 26.84%), standing (66 s, 8.52%), cheek rubbing (27 s, 3.48%), scraping (57 s, 7.35%), urine spraying (17 s, 2.19%), vocalizing (9 s, 1.16%), claw marking (4 s, 0.52%) and parenting (5 s, 0.65%).

The salivary glands of mosquitoes, which act as disease vectors, contain biological components that facilitate the blood-feeding process and transmit pathogens to the human body. Apyrase, a protein from the salivary glands of Ae. aegypti, is known to be an immunogenic protein that influences the host's immunity. It can prevent platelet aggregation by hydrolyzing ATP or ADP into AMP and thus facilitate the blood-feeding process. This mechanism is also exploited by pathogens to obtain entry into the host's body. Vaccination with the apyrase protein could control dengue virus transmission by enhancing the immune response to inhibit the pathogen's entry. To examine the potential of apyrase, it is critical to explore its nature and characteristics by using bioinformatics databases. This quantitative descriptive study involved apyrase protein from the salivary glands of Ae. aegypti obtained from several bioinformatics databases, namely UniProt, SWISSMODEL, ENZYME, Rhea, CFSSP, GlyCosmos, STRING, and QuickGo. The findings contribute to a more fine-cut understanding of apyrase as a potential vaccine to inhibit dengue transmission.
Using digital technology to engage people with varying degrees of sight loss with archives and filmmaking during COVID-19
Authors: Aguiar Laura , Gillespie Lynsey
Published: July 2024

When the Covid-19 pandemic reached Europe in March 2020, the official archive for Northern Ireland, PRONI (Public Record Office of Northern Ireland) was forced to close its doors and move all work online, including its outreach programmes. One of the people to benefit from the programme was a group with different degrees of sight loss from the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB). Ten people aged 20-60s took part in Everyday is a School Day, an eight-week filmmaking project which used Zoom and smartphone filmmaking to connect them with PRONI’s archives and help them make short films about their experiences of education in 2021. A year later we brought the group back to PRONI for a second project, Music Tales, which helped them continue to develop filmmaking skills and to delve deeper into the archives and explore the role of music in their lives. In this article, we take the two projects as case studies and use a reflective methodology to analyse how Zoom technology and a participatory approach to filmmaking were used to enable the group to engage with archives and learn how to tell their stories through film.
Representing disability in queer fanfiction: Analyzing the role of whiteness and intimacy in depicting desirable disabled masculinity
Authors: Heath Marty
Published: July 2024

Fanfiction is a media which blends canon texts with audience reimaginings, wherein fans take up existing narratives and make them their own. This paper analyzes story tags on the fanfiction site Archive of Our Own (AO3) and a case study of “Malex,” a notable relationship between two canonically disabled characters, to examine the salience of their disabilities in fanfiction which presents them as desirable romantic and/or sexual prospects. I discuss the desexualization of disabled people as well as the tendency for fanfiction to (re)produce norms of whiteness and maleness, and examine how Malex-focused stories are similar to and different from stories about characters who are not canonically in a relationship. Overall, I argue that fanfiction has the ability to queer and crip existing social narratives, depicting disability as a real and desirable part of diverse relationships. However, as it stands, whiteness, maleness, and the intimacy of perceived vulnerability remain the cornerstones of desirable disabilities.
Ableism and adaptive preferences in digital uses and skills: Social and cultural conditioning factors
Authors: Malknecht Ludovica , Antonelli Carlotta
Published: July 2024

This theoretical paper aims to highlight interactions between ableism and adaptive preferences that involve persons with disability with the purpose of identifying social and ideological conditioning factors in using digital media and developing digital skills. These factors encompass the availability of resources for accessing and using digital media as enabling tools capable of generating positive outcomes at an economic, social, political/civic, cultural and personal levels. Giving that digitalization processes encompass concepts of citizenship, autonomy, individual capabilities and social capital, then digital media and skills become crucial tools for equalizing opportunities and reducing inequalities. The pandemic emergency and the shift to distance learning revealed forms of digital education poverty that had a specific impact for persons with disability. Analysing the digital disability divide and inequality requires considering technological and economic variables, Universal Design principles, as well as social stratification, cultural influences, and material and symbolic resources. Digital inequalities and adaptive preferences are thus examined in their relations with social, cultural and ideological aspects that may affect expressed and perceived needs, attribution of meanings, motivation and aims which, in turn, affect access and usage of digital media as well as the development of digital skills. Taking into account these factors and their interconnections, the contribution aims to provide some guidelines for further future research aimed at deepening the socio-technical, cultural, and ideological matrices of digital inequalities affecting persons with disabilities.
Can you hear me? The inclusive advertising and its representation
Authors: Casale Roberta
Published: July 2024

Inclusive advertising represents an important change that is taking place. Issues that in the past were part of social communication are finding their way into commercial communication strategies and fuelling the ethical debate. The brand image is conveyed through emotional storytelling that involves the consumer. The keywords are changing: inclusion, ethics and values are replacing the “aspirational dimension” typical of advertising. In the digital age, the image of the testimonial is increasingly built on socially relevant topics. It is a transversal phenomenon that involves different targets and products. A new aesthetic paradigm is subverting the canon of communication strategies: new models, new families, new age groups, new bodies are appearing on the scene. Focusing on the representation of disability, this paper observes how advertising can contribute to changing the perception of socially relevant issues by new strategies.

Aim: This study aimed to identify risk factors for medicationrelated osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) by carrying out clinical and radiographic evaluations of patients with osteopenia and osteoporosis using bisphosphonates (BFs). Methods: After approval by the CCS/UFES Ethics Committee (registration number 2,738,749), consultations were undertaken, and data were collected from medical records in cooperation with sectors from UFES and the University hospital. A total of 50 patients, 29 with osteoporosis and 21 with osteopenia were selected. Patients underwent a clinical and a panoramic dental x-ray examination to assess risk factors associated with oral health and dental interventions. Results: All patients had at least one local risk factor, the most frequent being tooth extraction (100%) and periodontal disease (50%) which, if associated with the use of BFs, could lead to MRONJ. Among the systemic risk factors, the most common were diabetes and corticosteroid therapy. The most used BF was alendronate, administered orally. Conclusion: The dental surgeon should evaluate all patients with osteopenia and osteoporosis using BFs to determine whether there are other risks. Whether there may be other potential risks, acknowledging upon key risks factors surrounding MRONJ are critical for early diagnosis and successful dental treatment.

The most practical approach for dissecting the liver parenchyma involves first visualizing and subsequently addressing the blood vessels within the parenchyma while maintaining a dry operative field. This process is similar to “excavation” of ancient artifacts from soil without causing any damage. To excavate the blood vessels in a dry operative field during liver parenchymal dissection, proficiency in both blood flow control and parenchymal dissection techniques is mandatory. For blood flow management, inflow control is achieved using an externally applied Pringle maneuver, whereas outflow control is achieved by decreasing the central venous pressure. Precision in parenchymal dissection lies in dissecting the liver parenchyma in areas devoid of the Glissonean branch, such as the intersegmental plane, using the back-scoring technique with a cavitron ultrasonic surgical aspirator (CUSA) to read the grain of the blood vessels.

The widespread use of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in recent years has led to a marked increase in the quantity of spent batteries, resulting in critical global technical challenges in terms of resource scarcity and environmental impact. Therefore, efficient and eco-friendly recycling methods for these batteries are needed. The recycling methods for spent LIBs include hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy, solid-phase regeneration, and electrochemical methods. Compared to other recycling methods, electrochemical methods offer high ion selectivity and environmental friendliness. Assembling research on the recycling and reutilization of spent LIBs, with a focus on the various electrochemical techniques that can enhance these processes, is essential. A thorough analysis of the characteristics and evolution of these methods remains crucial to advancing the field of electrochemical technology in battery recycling. This review first discussed the necessity of recycling spent LIBs from multiple perspectives and briefly introduced the main pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical recycling technologies, analyzing their advantages and disadvantages. Moreover, we comprehensively summarized the current applications of electrochemical technology in the recycling of spent LIBs, including pretreatment, leaching, element separation, and regeneration. Then, we analyzed the characteristics and advantages of different electrochemical techniques in the LIB recycling process and discussed the obstacles encountered in the application of electrochemical technology and their solutions. Finally, a comparison between electrochemical technology and traditional recycling processes was provided, highlighting the potential advantages of electrochemical technology in reducing recycling costs and minimizing waste emissions.
Közösségimédia-stratégiák az álhírek elleni küzdelemben
Authors: Myat Kornél
Published: July 2024

Az ál- és hamis hírek problematikája végigkísérte a média különböző korszakait. Nem meglepő módon a késő modernitás médiakörnyezetében is hamar központi kérdéssé vált. A 2020-as évek elejére a közösségi média a hírfogyasztás egyik legfontosabb platformjává vált. A médiahasználók közreműködésével áramoltatott tartalmak pedig elkerülik a korábbi tartalomhitelesítő rendszereket, ami fokozatosan aláásta a velük szemben támasztott bizalmat. Mindez egy olyan időszakban, amikor a Covid-19-pandémia, a 2020-as amerikai elnökválasztás vagy az orosz–ukrán háború, egyre nagyobb mértékben befolyásolni próbálta a média nyilvános tereit. Milyen lépéseket tettek ebben a helyzetben a késő modern közösségi médiumok és mennyire hatékonyak ezek a stratégiák? Tanulmányomban a médiakörnyezet sajátosságainak feltárása mellett az együttműködő-közösségi médiaelméletet segítségül hívva, a médiahasználók felkészültségei és közösségi problémamegoldó tevékenysége felől közelítem meg a problémát.

Thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) pose critical health risks, often asymptomatic until a rupture or dissection occurs. Guidelines recommend surgical repair based on specific aortic diameters and risk factors, emphasizing the importance of early detection and intervention. Despite established clinical risk factors for early detection in TAAs, the influence of racial and ethnic disparities on TAAs remains underexplored. This study aims to provide a comprehensive summary of existing research on racial and ethnic disparities in the presentation and outcomes of TAAs. Methods: This literature review was conducted using a systematic search strategy, in order to explore racial and ethnic differences in the presentation and surgical outcomes of patients with TAAs. Results: The findings demonstrated that black patients were younger at presentation and had a higher incidence of ruptured TAAs than non-black patients. Furthermore, compared to non-black patients, black patients had higher rates of cardiac arrhythmia and COPD, as well as comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, and renal insufficiency. For black patients undergoing open surgery, the surgical results showed improved 5-year survival rates after repair but higher perioperative mortality rates. All-cause or in-hospital mortality did not significantly differ between the racial groups, according to four studies. Discussion: This review highlights significant racial and ethnic disparities in TAA presentation and outcomes, underscoring the need for personalized risk stratification models. Standardized racial and ethnic definitions are essential for consistent and reliable research. Future studies should focus on refining risk assessment models to enhance diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, ultimately improving patient outcomes across diverse populations.
