Authors: Didriksson Axel , Álvarez Freddy , Caamaño Carmen , Caregnato Célia , Perrotta Daniela , Del Valle Damián , Hernández Alicia , Torlucci Sandra
Published: December 2024

El modelo de Universidad disciplinar y de separación de sus procesos y resultados académicos hace que la gestión de nuevos conocimientos, la sinergia entre las humanidades, la ciencia, el arte y la tecnología, la organización del currículum y la estructura de su gobierno y de la representación de sus principales actores y comunidades, hayan sobrevivido sin grandes cambios durante los últimos cien años, con una identidad y una raigambre histórica muy vinculada a las luchas estudiantiles y a las coyunturas históricas de los distintos gobiernos y países, sobre todo con el muy fuerte y determinante legado que dejó el movimiento reformista estudiantil de 1918 de la Universidad de Córdoba, Argentina, y que fue extensivo a lo largo y ancho de la región en la mayoría de sus universidades, y que aún prevalece y siguen siendo un referente obligado de afinidad. En este trabajo, este contexto de referencia destaca algunas de las tendencias que están en debate en la región de América Latina y el Caribe, desde la perspectiva de cambios que apuntan a ubicar a las ciencias y a la tecnología desde las humanidades.
El rol del Estado argentino frente al financiamiento de las universidades nacionales
Authors: Escudero María Celeste , Cuttica Mariela
Published: December 2024

Although public policies among the different countries seem to display a similar pattern of change, adjustment tools and structural changes, the main source of university funding continues to be the State. Meanwhile, it has modified its way of relating to colleges promoting flexibility in the management of resources, the self-evaluation of institutions and the planning of their tasks. Under the analysis carried out in this paper, the Argentine State based on the innovations of the university financing policy of the 90s, acquires a role of observer and of greater control of the sector. At the same time, national universities make evident a process of Institutional Isomorphism in the face of transformations in their environment, characterized by the force of coercive change, given the high dependence on contributions from the National Treasury. Likewise, the funds allocation through the incentive budget shows a disturbance in the priorities of the pursued policy objectives. When for the initial years of the study, more than half of the funds from special programs had researching destiny, over the course of 17 years, half of the funding was reserved for the objective of university quality.

Los resultados evidencian que tanto, el Covid-19 como los factores socioeconómicos están relacionados con los precios al productor nacional, además de existir correlaciones de las variables del sector entre sí, a nivel de la región y la provincia.
AI-Driven Smart Auditory Health Systems: Bridging Audiology and Public Health in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Authors: Ferdous A Anika Ferdous , Nishan MDNH Nishan , Jahan F
Published: December 2024

Hearing loss is a critical global health issue that affects over 1.5 billion people worldwide, with a disproportionate burden in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). These regions face significant challenges, including limited access to audiological services, a shortage of healthcare professionals, and a lack of affordable hearing solutions. These barriers lead to delayed diagnoses, inadequate management, and a significant negative impact on individuals' quality of life, education, and employment opportunities. The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced technologies offers innovative pathways to address these longstanding challenges. This review introduces the AI-driven smart Auditory Health Systems (SAHS) concept. This holistic approach integrates AI, wearable devices, Internet of Things (IoT) technology, and big data analytics to enhance the prevention, diagnosis, and management of auditory disorders. SAHS systems can provide real-time monitoring, early detection of hearing loss, and personalized care solutions tailored to individual and population needs. These systems offer community-level interventions, including noise pollution monitoring and data-driven public health strategies. Focusing on the LMIC context, this review explores the technological framework, applications, ethical considerations, and logistical challenges of implementing SAHS. By leveraging these advanced technologies, SAHS has the potential to bridge gaps in healthcare access, improve health outcomes, and transform auditory healthcare delivery in resource-constrained settings. This review underscores the importance of collaborative efforts in research, policy development, and capacity building to ensure equitable adoption of SAHS, thereby addressing hearing health disparities globally.
Política, identidad y argumentación. El discurso legislativo de las nuevas derechas argentinas (2021-2023)
Authors: Nahabedian Juan Javier , Marrugo Gómez Hilda , Flores Karina
Published: December 2024

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivos describir y analizar los componentes argumentativos de los discursos legislativos de los representantes de las nuevas derechas argentinas. Las esquematizaciones argumentativas que buscamos no se restringen a los aspectos lógico-ilativos, sino que, en tanto la argumentación es una actividad retórico-social, nos interesan los elementos discursivos que hacen a la construcción de la subjetividad. Adoptamos el enfoque del análisis del discurso centrándonos en la dimensión argumentativa del discurso. Este análisis nos informó sobre los componentes discursivos (tópicos, valores semánticos dicotómicos, narrativas, técnicas de argumentación y formas de descalificación) que hacen, por el lado de la forma, a los rasgos estilísticos identitarios de estas nuevas derechas y, por el del contenido, a las representaciones que componen esta formación ideológica. La división del trabajo argumentativo de los oradores nos habilita a caracterizar un absolutismo economicista que resulta preponderante.El análisis da cuenta de la construcción de un campo semántico que distribuye maniqueamente valores positivos y negativos entre lo privado y lo público. Este doble juego diferencial/representacional funciona como el principal articulador para la conformación discursiva de una identidad política. La apelación a una historia revisitada completa la descripción de los rasgos identitarios que exponemos.El corpus de análisis es conformado por las intervenciones parlamentarias de los entonces diputados José Luis Espert, Javier Milei, Carolina Píparo y Victoria Villarruel durante los períodos legislativos 139, 140 y 141, esto es, los períodos correspondientes a los años 2021, 2022 y 2023. ARK: https://id.caicyt.gov.ar/ark:/s18535925/7arqlp38a
Tendencias ideológicas en la “batalla cultural” de la sociedad civil de la ultraderecha chilena
Authors: Baeza Cooper Patricio David
Published: December 2024

El éxito a nivel global de la ultraderecha no sería posible sin la articulación de un relato convincente para a la sociedad civil; por ello, el sector ha dirigido grandes esfuerzos a la defensa ideológica y la divulgación de sus doctrinas. Dicho frente no solo ocurre a espaldas de la política institucional, sino que, incluso, precede a ella. Antes del éxito electoral de la ultraderecha chilena, ya existían agrupaciones civiles que veían con buenos ojos el crecimiento exponencial de las “nuevas derechas”. El “estallido social” acontecido en Chile en octubre del 2019 significó que estos agentes reaccionarios salieran de la marginalidad para sacar a la luz un discurso nacionalista compuesto de heterogeneidad de ideas distintas. No obstante, estas ideologías han quedado eclipsadas como objeto de estudio debido el interés que ha suscitado el hasta ahora único partido de ultraderecha en Chile, el Partido Republicano. El presente artículo se propone estudiar las principales tendencias ideológicas presentes en las organizaciones civiles de la ultraderecha, por debajo de la política partidaria. A partir de una metodología cualitativa que consta de entrevistas, observación participante y bibliografía propia del sector, se analiza a estos actores desde sus propias voces. De esta manera, se reconoce la radicalización de las tendencias ideológicas propias de la derecha chilena: nacionalismo, liberalismo e hispanismo; pero teñidas con un paradigma propio de las nuevas derechas, el etnopluralismo.ARK: https://id.caicyt.gov.ar/ark:/s18535925/2tr1xyrts
Lo monstruoso, el espectáculo y las nuevas derechas
Authors: Pardo María de la Victoria , Bilbao Bárbara
Published: December 2024

Este artículo explora las continuidades entre las narrativas medievales y los discursos de odio contemporáneos, enfatizando cómo ciertos estigmas sociales, como la misoginia y el antisemitismo, tienen raíces históricas profundas. A través de la representación de mujeres acusadas de brujería y judíos perseguidos, se evidencia cómo estas figuras han sido utilizadas para justificar prácticas de control y violencia. Estas representaciones han evolucionado y se han alimentado de un sistema productivo que subordina ciertos cuerpos, conectando la violencia histórica con las dinámicas contemporáneas.El auge de las nuevas derechas en América Latina y el mundo presenta un modelo extractivista que transforma recursos naturales en bienes transables. Este conservadurismo radical busca restaurar valores tradicionales, neutralizar la disidencia y deslegitimar críticas al colonialismo, convirtiendo a cualquier oposición en un "enemigo público". La cultura del miedo, fomentada por medios y redes sociales, normaliza la violencia simbólica y desensibiliza a la sociedad frente al sufrimiento ajeno.La restauración de la masculinidad hegemónica y la legitimación de la violencia son ejes centrales en este contexto en el que se promueve un discurso totalizante que simplifica la realidad. Las imágenes de violencia se convierten en espectáculo, despojando al sufrimiento de su carga crítica.Las expresiones disidentes, como el feminismo y los movimientos LGBT, son atacadas, lo que refuerza una cultura de obediencia. A través de la obra de artistas como Rosana Paulino, se busca desmontar la espectacularización de la brutalidad y recuperar narrativas históricas olvidadas, integrando experiencias diversas y construyendo nuevas subjetividades. Este enfoque crítico es esencial para desafiar las estructuras de poder contemporáneas y promover una política de la palabra que visibilice las injusticias persistentes.ARK: https://id.caicyt.gov.ar/ark:/s18535925/jrax49rbu
The Stucco Art of Ancient and Medieval Bengal
Authors:   PhD Researcher, University of Calcutta, Chatterjee Arnab
Published: December 2024

Like terracotta art, stone and bronze sculptures,
stucco art has also occupied a significant place in Indian art
since ancient times. Stucco art became popular in Bengal
during the post-Gupta and early Medieval period, for
decorating Buddhist Vihāras and Hindu temples, and this
tradition continued over time. The study of Stucco art of
Bengal has been overlooked in the discussion of art centres
in the past few decades, so this article will mainly focus on
the chronological history of stucco art of Bengal. Region
wise characteristics of this art will be discussed and
analysed based on several primary and secondary sources
and fieldwork-based data collections. The observation gives
the impression that the various experiments by the artists of
Bengal during the early Medieval period resulted in the
development of a distinctive style of stucco art, which was
different from the contemporary popular terracotta art. In
some cases, stucco art was used instead of terracotta art,
which is a classic example of the increasing demand for art.
This article will provide a comprehensive discussion of
stucco art in Bengal.

Published: December 2024

The Baduy community located in Lebak Regency, Banten, is an ethnic group that still maintains its customs even today amidst the wave of modernization. This research aims to explore how the Baduy people preserve their customs and traditions as well as the challenges they face in facing changing times. In the era of globalization and modernization which has brought advances in technology and foreign culture, the Baduy people continue to maintain their cultural identity, especially through the principles of simple and sustainable living. This research uses qualitative methods combined with interview techniques and participant observation to understand their practices in preserving customs and traditions. The research results show that the preservation of Baduy customs is not only achieved through religious rituals but also the way they organize their socio-economic life, for example in an agricultural system that respects the environment and a lifestyle that prioritizes simplicity.  However, big challenges come from technological developments, economic changes and increasingly strong external cultural influences.
Implementing Port Operation Policy through Collaborative Governance Perspective
Authors: Prasetyo Heri , . Sumartono , . Suryadi , Nuh Mohammad
Published: December 2024

This research aims to explore the operational policy implementation process at the Prigi commercial port by utilizing a collaborative governance framework. This study uses policy implementation theory (Van Meter & Van Horn, 1975) which focuses on dimensions such as standards and resources, communication objectives, interorganizational characteristics, and enforcement activities of implementing agencies, economic, social, and political conditions, implementer dispositions, and performance. Additionally, it integrates collaborative governance theory (Emerson & Nabatchi, 2015) which emphasizes the importance of cooperation, coordination, and involvement of various stakeholders, including government port operators, port users, and local communities, in designing and implementing such policies. This approach is believed to improve the effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of port operations, ensuring that policies reflect diverse interests and needs. This research adopted a qualitative descriptive approach and was conducted at the Prigi commercial port, Trenggalek Regency, Indonesia. Thirty-two informants participated in this research, consisting of government officials including legislators (DPRD) and executives (regents, regional government secretaries, regional planning agencies, transportation agencies, and development administration bureaus), private sector representatives (business associations), NGOs, academics, community leaders, and the media. Findings show that operational policy implementation at Prigi port faces challenges due to lack of clarity in policy standards and objectives, limited human resources, weak inter-organizational communication, complex characteristics of implementing agencies, and limited commitment from regional leaders as well as low involvement of NGOs, academics, leaders society, and media. This study recommends the issuance of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) as an agreement of honor between all stakeholders to optimize the operations of the Prigi commercial port. In addition, this research provides opportunities for further research using alternative perspectives of policy implementation theory and collaborative governance theory in port governance.

Authors: Mamilianti Wenny , Huda Miftahul , Asmara Rosihan , Bakhtiar Ary
Published: December 2024

Therefore, this research aims to analyze the factors that influence the farmer's perspective regarding the labor provider service and the effect of the service that is used by the farmers on the technical efficiency level. This research uses the methodology that involves the utilization of logit regression analysis to test the cross-sectional data that was obtained from 200 farmers in Ngawi, Lumajang, Pasuruan, Malang in Indonesia as a sample. The measurement of technical efficiency uses the Cobb-Douglas production function with the Stochastic Production Frontier approach and the Tobit Regression model to determine the effect of labor provider business on technical efficiency. This research found that factors that influence the farmer's perception of the labor provider are age, land area, the worker’s wage, and the use of agricultural tools. The technical efficiency level can certainly still be improved by addressing the influencing factors, namely the use of information technology, agricultural mechanization, and the positive response towards the organizations that help in the availability of input, such as the labor provider service. The findings in this research provide an overview of how a farmer should perceive the agricultural labor provider service, especially in agriculture in the industrial or high labor wages areas.

Exploring how Parents can Promote Gender Diversity in South African High Schools
Authors: John Chaka , Henry Nichols
Published: December 2024

By examining the voices of parents regarding the extent to which South African high schools maintain a cisnormative culture, this paper aims to explore how parents' understanding of gender can play a role in promoting gender diversity. Drawing on a qualitative study conducted in the Free State Province of South Africa and framed by both Queer Theory and the African philosophy of Ubuntu. A focus group interview was employed to interview nine parents. Consistent with many international studies on the experiences of parents regarding gender diversity in high schools, this paper found that most of the parents’ views were influenced by cultural and religious backgrounds. The results reveal that parents' understanding of gender can play a role in promoting gender diversity in South African high schools. Results further reveal an emerging understanding that gender diversity is real, not mythical. This paper calls for more research to examine how parents can help others to embrace gender diversity through various school platforms to accelerate parental support of trans learners. Lastly, the Department of Basic Education can formulate a policy that will assist schools in engaging parents to support schools in promoting gender diversity.

Dhaka University employees during the Liberation War
Authors:   Center for Advanced Research in Arts and Social Sciences (CARASS), University of Dhaka, Sheesh Kazi Sameeo
Published: December 2024

The employees of the University of Dhaka during the Liberation War of Bangladesh not only fulfilled their regular responsibilities but also stood as silent pillars of resistance. They took on roles such as sheltering vulnerable individuals, including students, preserving critical information, transmitting secret messages, and safeguarding countless lives in danger—all as if bound by an invisible vow. Even amidst the turbulence of a city fraught with instability, they fearlessly dedicated themselves to serving the nation. Despite the risks to their own lives, they remained steadfast in upholding the ideals of the Liberation War and the spirit of national consciousness.

This book is a part of the collective history of Bangladesh's Liberation War. Forgetting history as a collective or losing memory as an individual are equally grave misfortunes. However, history is not merely a chronological narration of events; it demands critical examination, analysis of cause-and-effect relationships, and insights into internal conflicts.
Soft Skills in Favor of Advanced Military Education
Authors: Cherni Maroua , Slimeni Feten
Published: December 2024

The concept of military education has evolved significantly during the years, reflecting the changing education methods from physical training and hard knowledge-based activities to more advanced and effective techniques. Modern military education recognizes the importance of soft skills required for adaptation to the complexities of twenty-first century military operations and resilience to future challenges. Developing new abilities like critical thinking, problem-solving, and flexibility can significantly support academic performance and enhance students’ capabilities. Also, the role of a multiskilled teacher is crucial, not only for improving students’ academic outcomes but also arming them with techniques to face life challenges. This article emphasizes this requirement and suggests leveraging project management (PM), emotional intelligence (EI), and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) to enhance educational psychology and pedagogy principles. These strategies—PM, EI, and NLP—provide adequate soft skills to boost the teaching-learning experience by improving communication, understanding emotional cues, and effectively managing the teaching and learning projects. The proposed methodology is detailed and illustrated using application examples. Finally, results highlight its effectiveness in the transformative global landscape.

A Critical Analysis of Gender Representation in the English Translation of the Urdu Novel Pinjar by Pritam
Authors: Azmat Fatima , Rehman Rida , Ghani Nadia Abdul
Published: December 2024

Aim of the Study: Gender research is an interdisciplinary field of education dedicated to the analysis of gender identity and gender representation. The present research deals with the processes of gender representation in the English translation of the Urdu novel Pinjar by Pritam. Pinjar is translated by Khushwant Singh and titled "The Skeleton". The study analyzes how gender is represented in English translation and how the translator’s gender ideology influences the act of translation. The source text is written by a woman and translated by a man.
Methodology: As a result, gender identities are reconstructed in translation. For this purpose, critical discourse analysis is adapted with the inclusion of Sherry Simon’s perspective “Gender in Translation”, and is used as a research framework. Extracts from both the source and target texts have been studied comparatively and then used for data analysis.
Findings: The findings of the current study show that the translator maintains a man's position whereas he represents women as low, weak, and powerless throughout the process of translation. In patriarchal societies, such bias leads to gender discrimination.
Conclusion: The current study concludes that language reflects the translator's position in constructing women's identities while also maintaining the male position in translation as well as in a patriarchal society.

Blasphemy: Subverting the Colonial Legacy of Domesticated Patriarchy, Hegemonic Masculinity and Religious Politics
Authors: Ghilzai Shazia Akbar , Khan Muhammad Bilal , Mujeeb Aqib
Published: December 2024

Aim of the Study: This study examines how Durrani portrays the subjugation of women and the imposition of patriarchal dictates in the name of religion.
Methodology: The study is qualitative in nature and based on “Tehmina Durrani’s novel Blasphemy (1991)”. The study examined the data under the light of “Hegemney Theory”. The theory of hegemony developed by Antonio Gramsci is used to study Tehmina Durrani’s novel, Blasphemy (1991). This theory explains how a dominant class can maintain its power and control over a subordinate class through the use of cultural tactics. Hegemony, according to Gramsci, is a process of domination and subordination that does not necessarily involve physical force. Rather, it involves the social and cultural domination of one group by another.
Findings: Tehmina Durrani’s Blasphemy is an excellent example of how Gramsci’s theory of hegemony works in practice. The novel has highlighted the religious hegemony of the colonial master in the subcontinent and its effects on the Muslim community. Durrani has not only exposed the hegemonic schemes of the British colonial masters, but she has also delineated the repercussions of such hegemonic colonial legacy on the society in general, and on women in particular. Furthermore, this paper investigates how Durrani’s critique of patriarchy and hegemonic can be used to inform contemporary feminist critiques of gender inequality and patriarchy. Durrani has used her writing to criticize the oppressive force of male domination and the use of traditional religious beliefs to justify it. She questions the inequalities and injustices that women face, and the ways in which religious teachings are manipulated to uphold this system.
Conclusion: Her work provides an insight into the damaging effects that this type of oppression can have on society, and encourages readers to think critically about the ways in which religion is exploited to perpetuate gender inequality.
Validation of Urdu Interpersonal Mindfulness in Parenting (IM-P) Scale on Pakistani Mothers
Authors: Shafiq Uzma , Mushtaq Asia
Published: December 2024

Aim of the Study: The Interpersonal Mindfulness in Parenting scale is a self-report instrument to assess mindful parenting practices. This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties, including reliability and validity, of the Urdu version of the IM-P. 
Methodology: Two studies were undertaken to achieve this aim. The first study comprised 244 mothers of children under age 11 in which confirmatory factor analysis was utilized to validate the original three-factor structure of the scale. The second study included 127 mothers of children with same age range conducted to investigate the construct validity of the scale, encompassing both convergent and divergent validity. Internal consistency of the scale was also calculated.
Findings: The confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the data fit the original three-factor model well (CMIN/DF = 2.65, CFI = 0.96, GFI = 0.94, RMSEA = 0.08, SRMR = 0.04). The reliability coefficients for the entire scale and the three subscales were 0.85, 0.70, 0.87, and 0.74, respectively. Significant positive correlations were observed between the IM-P and measures of self-compassion and present centered attention and awareness, while negative correlations were found with parenting stress.
Conclusion: This study provided evidence that mindful parenting can be effectively assessed through three dimensions—Awareness and Present-Centered Attention in parenting, Non-judgmental acceptance in parenting, and Non-reactivity in parenting—and confirmed that the Urdu version is a reliable measure for this construct to be used with Pakistani mothers.

Kontrola i przeszukanie Prezesa UOKiK. Pięć lat doświadczeń po rozdzieleniu instytucji – już osobno czy nadal razem?
Authors: Gajewska-Leite Irena , Modzelewska de Raad Małgorzata
Published: December 2024

Celem artykułu jest porównanie kontroli i przeszukania1, dwóch procedur stosowanych przez Prezesa UOKiK w celu pozyskiwania dowodów dopuszczenia się praktyk ograniczających konkurencję. Publikacja nie tyle zawiera wyczerpującą charakterystykę tych dwóch instytucji, ile ukazuje je z punktu widzenia istotnych podobieństw i różnic. Analiza ograniczona jest do spraw z zakresu ochrony konkurencji, gdzie omawiane narzędzia odgrywają nieporównywalnie większą rolę niż w sprawach konsumenckich, w których ich zastosowanie jest sporadyczne.

Authors:   Instytut Nauk Prawnych Polskiej Akademii Nauk, Łukawski Jarosław
Published: December 2024

Artykuł zawiera analizę zagadnienia czy obowiązujące przepisy prawa dotyczące zgód warunkowych w sprawach kontroli koncentracji, jak również praktyka ich stosowania przez Prezesa Urzędu Ochrony Konkurencji i Konsumentów uzasadniają potrzebę opublikowania przez polski organ antymonopolowy szczegółowych wytycznych dotyczących zgód warunkowych. Analiza została przeprowadzona na podstawie orzecznictwa oraz głosów doktryny co do potrzeby publikowania przez organ antymonopolowy wytycznych do obowiązujących przepisów prawa konkurencji, jak i praktycznych problemów, jakie powstają na gruncie wydanych dotychczas przez organ antymonopolowy zgód warunkowych.
Zakaz konkurencji obejmujący podmiot kontrolujący zbywcę w umowach transakcyjnych a komunikat i orzecznictwo KE w sprawie ograniczeń akcesoryjnych
Authors: Kulesza Marcin
Published: December 2024

Artykuł przedstawia analizę Komunikatu Komisji Europejskiej w sprawie ograniczeń bezpośrednio związanych i koniecznych dla dokonania koncentracji oraz orzecznictwo Komisji w sprawach kontroli koncentracji pod kątem dopuszczalności ograniczeń akcesoryjnych w postaci zakazów konkurencji o zakresie podmiotowym obejmującym, obok bezpośredniego zbywcy, podmioty znajdujące się wyżej w strukturze jego grupy kapitałowej, w tym osoby lub podmioty ostatecznie kontrolujące zbywcę. Tego rodzaju klauzule często pojawiają się w praktyce transakcyjnej, wzbudzając niejednokrotnie wątpliwości co do zgodności z prawem ochrony konkurencji. Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu przedstawienie opartych na Komunikacie i decyzjach Komisji argumentów za dopuszczalnością takich klauzul. Ponadto omówiono orzecznictwo Prezesa UOKiK dotyczące tej kwestii.
