Authors: Barrionuevo Santos Luz Myriam
Published: November 2024

El objetivo de la investigación fue determinar la relación entre la actitud machista y la violencia intrafamiliar en el Distrito de Sillapata – Dos de Mayo – Huánuco - Perú. Para lo cual, se efectuó una investigación con enfoque cuantitativo, de nivel correlacional, diseño no experimental, transversal y prospectivo. La población estuvo conformada por 50 mujeres víctimas de violencia captadas en el establecimiento de salud de Sillapata entre los meses de enero a julo del 2023. Asimismo, se consideró a 50 varones que fueron sus parejas, a fin de evaluar su actitud machista, analizándose con una muestra no probabilística de 50 mujeres y 50 varones elegidos (as) por conveniencia. A los varones se les aplico el instrumento llamado, La escala de actitudes hacia el machismo y a las mujeres, La escala de medición de la violencia intrafamiliar (VIFJ4). Para relacionar las variables se usó el estadístico Rho de Spearman. Los resultados determinaron una relación significativa, positiva, directa, y baja (rs=0,344 y p= 0,014) entre la actitud con tendencia al machismo y la violencia intrafamiliar moderada. Además, se comprobó la relación significativa, positiva, directa entre la violencia física (rs=0,683 y p=0,000), psicológica (rs=0,344 y p= 0,015), sexual (rs=0,395 y p= 0,005), social (rs=0,459 y p= 0,001) y patrimonial (rs=0,422 y p= 0,002) con la actitud con tendencia hacia al machismo. Se concluyó que, en la medida que la actitud machista aumenta, también lo hace la violencia intrafamiliar.

Authors: Huilcarema Enríquez Kevin , Amaguay Gómez Ronny Fabian , Sevilla Carrasco Jaime David
Published: November 2024

Esta revisión sistemática explora la producción de bioplásticos a partir de residuos agrícolas como una alternativa sostenible para reducir la contaminación plástica. A partir del análisis bibliométrico usando Bibliometrix, se reveló que Estados Unidos y Europa occidental lideran este campo, mientras que en América Latina, solo Brasil tiene una contribución significativa. La Universidad de Sevilla destaca con el 21.8% de las publicaciones, seguida de King Abdulaziz University y Universiti Malaysia Pahang. El análisis temático muestra la ausencia de temas "motores" consolidados, indicando áreas con potencial investigativo. Los “temas de nicho” incluyen el polyhydroxybutyrate, mientras que la “biodegradación” y el empaquetado alimentario emergen como áreas incipientes. Temas como "bioplásticos" y "economía circular" son conceptos clave en sostenibilidad, aunque requieren mayor desarrollo práctico. Este estudio subraya la importancia de fomentar investigaciones en bioplásticos basados en biomasa renovable (maíz, caña de azúcar), dada su biodegradabilidad y bajo impacto ambiental. Sin embargo, su participación en el mercado global es aún limitada, con solo el 1% de la producción de plásticos.

Published: November 2024

This study investigates optimizing classroom design by balancing thermal comfort and daylighting to enhance student attentiveness, a critical factor in educational settings. The research was motivated by the need to address the knowledge gap concerning the combined effects of thermal and visual comfort on student engagement, particularly considering gender differences, which have been underexplored in existing literature. Two identical lecture halls in Tiruchirappalli, India, were selected for the study: one with blackened windows and the other with standard windows. Field measurements of temperature, humidity, wind speed, and light levels were taken using a thermal comfort microclimate data logger and light meter, while student engagement and comfort were assessed through a questionnaire. The findings reveal that the lecture hall with standard windows provided superior visual and thermal comfort, resulting in higher levels of student attentiveness. In contrast, the hall with blackened windows showed reduced attentiveness. Additionally, gender analysis indicated that female students reported greater satisfaction with both thermal and visual comfort compared to their male counterparts. The study’s implications underscore the importance of integrating both thermal and visual comfort in classroom design, highlighting that optimal daylighting is essential for maintaining student attentiveness, even when thermal conditions are consistent. Furthermore, the research emphasizes the need for thoughtful design in educational spaces to create inclusive and effective learning environments that account for gender differences in comfort perception. This study contributes to the field by providing evidence that classroom design significantly influences student engagement and satisfaction, urging designers and educators to prioritize these factors in educational settings.

Rapid urban development is a contributor to the ongoing climate change, leading to rising temperatures, frequent heat waves, and various environmental impacts. This created a pressing need for urban planning to consider the effects of thermal comfort, which greatly affects the outdoor activities as well as the quality and the mental health of the residents, in order to promote the development of more resilient and sustainable cities. The consequences of climate change result in thermal stress for urban residents, making it important to consider a wide range of factors, including climatic conditions (temperature, humidity, precipitation.), urban design (street width and orientation, vegetation, building materials...) when addressing outdoor thermal comfort. This led to the gain of interest of researchers to analyze and assess this phenomenon and provide solutions to improve people’s thermal comfort, particularly in outdoor spaces. This work highlights the key factors influencing thermal comfort in outdoor spaces, drawing upon a set of previous studies to address these challenges for the creation of urban environments that enhance the well-being of users and assist in the process of creating new public spaces to ensure their thermal adaptation with their environment. This review can provide a reference for scientific planning and construction of urban outdoor spaces to improve people’s thermal comfort.

Authors: Jocqué Rudy , Henrard Arnaud
Published: November 2024

The Afrotropical representatives of the zodariid spider genus Asceua Thorell, 1889 are revised. Apart from the known species A. radiosa Jocqué, 1986 (Comoros, Mayotte) and A. lejeunei Jocqué, 1991 (DR Congo, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Nigeria), six new species are recognized and described: A. arborivagasp. nov. (♀, Guinea), A. foordisp. nov., (♂♀, DR Congo, Guinea, South Africa), A. incensasp. nov. (♂♀, DR Congo), A. lukisp. nov. (♂♀, DR Congo), A. palustrissp. nov. (♀, DR Congo) and A. ventrofiguratasp. nov. (♂♀, Tanzania). A key to the species is provided. Some of the species have a very large distribution, which is unusual in the Zodariidae. The phenomenon is probably linked to the canopy dwelling behaviour, which appears common in the genus but unique for this spider family.
Empowering Biodiversity Education: Practicing Digital Data Utilization through BioBlitz in a Japanese Curator Course
Authors: Saito Yurika , Ueda Hirochika , Kaneko Keiichi
Published: November 2024

The digital creation and utilization of biological data, such as occurrence information, are facilitated through the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) using Darwin Core standard (Darwin Core Task Group 2009, Raymond M 2021). This standard ensures consistent documentation of species data, enabling efficient sharing across regions. In Japan, publishing biological data in digital formats is becoming essential for biodiversity monitoring. However, there remains a gap between data digitization and its practical use, especially in education. University curatorship programs emphasize data collection but often lack comprehensive training in utilizing these data for research or conservation, limiting students’ opportunities to experience the full scope of data acquisition and application. This report presents a case study of a BioBlitz, conducted in a curatorship program to address this gap（Saito et al. 2020）. A BioBlitz is a collaborative survey where participants aim to identify as many species as possible within a specific area and time frame. Students received lectures on GBIF and the Darwin Core standard, followed by practical training using the iNaturalist (iNaturalist 2024) app. iNaturalist enables real-time species identification and data sharing, making it a valuable educational tool. Thirty-four students were divided into smaller groups of 4–5 to conduct a biological survey in a local park, identifying an average of 90 species in an hour (Fig. 1). After the survey, structured discussions allowed students to evaluate the app’s usability and potential for data utilization. They discussed the strengths and limitations of iNaturalist, including its ease of use, accuracy, and its integration with larger biodiversity datasets. Ethical considerations, such as sharing sensitive species data, were also explored. This hands-on exercise helped students understand the role of digital data in biodiversity conservation. They learned not only about data acquisition but also its real-world applications, including conservation efforts and environmental policymaking. This approach bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and applied skills. The results indicate that incorporating BioBlitz exercises into educational programs can significantly enhance students' ability to engage with digital biodiversity data, from field collection to analysis and application. Expanding these exercises could better equip future conservation professionals with the skills needed to address global biodiversity challenges. In conclusion, BioBlitz exercises provide an effective model for integrating digital tools into biodiversity education, offering students a comprehensive learning experience. This approach is crucial for preparing the next generation of biodiversity professionals with the technical skills and ethical understanding required for responsible data use in conservation.

La ceramica greca figurata di Incoronata e della costa ionica dell'Italia meridionale nel VII secolo a.C.
Authors: Denti Mario
Published: November 2024

Questa ricerca affronta lo studio della ceramica figurata realizzata da alcuni pittori greci che, nel VII secolo a.C., attraversarono il Mediterraneo per venire a installarsi sulla costa ionica dell’Italia meridionale. Attraverso un esame filologico della documentazione archeologica e del repertorio iconografico e stilistico, il lavoro traccia un profilo dell’identità culturale dei ceramisti che hanno contribuito a costruire questo importante fenomeno storico dell’età del Ferro mediterranea. Grazie ai nuovi dati emersi dalla più recente ricerca archeologica – in particolare sul sito­chiave che illumina oggi in maniera decisiva questo scenario, Incoronata – è stato possibile inquadrare tali eccezionali manifestazioni materiali e figurative all’interno dei propri contesti di produzione e d’uso: esse vennero realizzate soprattutto presso quelle comunità indigene che, accogliendo questi individui e questi beni, e partecipando a un orizzonte ideologico e culturale condiviso, hanno costruito uno strumento fondamentale della loro egemonia storico-politica. Il libro intende seguire le tracce di queste immagini, di questi vasi, ma soprattutto di queste persone, cercando – per quanto possibile – di coglierne il più profondo significato storico.
Ethnographier les expériences somatiques avec la recherche en danse :
Authors: Givors Martin
Published: November 2024

Cet article propose une ethnographie des pratiques d’entraînement en qigong (discipline corporelle chinoise) développées par le professeur et ancien moine-combattant Shi Yanlei. Celles-ci ont été observées à l’occasion d’un camp d’été de deux semaines au Shaolin Temple Europe (Otterberg, Allemagne) où se sont réunis une cinquantaine de participants. Prenant appui sur des outils et concepts issus de la recherche en danse (« partitions », « analyse du mouvement », « état de corps »), les descriptions et analyses de ces pratiques tentent de mettre au jour les enjeux kinesthésiques sous-tendant l’ambition prophylactique de l’enseignement, et révèlent ainsi l’intérêt offert par l’étude du geste dans le cadre d’une anthropologie des techniques du corps et des affects. Contrastant avec l’imaginaire d’une discipline corporelle douce aujourd’hui répandu en Europe, le qigong de Shi Yanlei nous apparaît ainsi peu à peu dans sa filiation avec la méthode dite de « la chemise de fer », caractérisée par sa quête de robustesse : une qualité que les participants cherchent ici à développer en eux au travers d’une forme rituelle développée par Shi Yanlei.
Drawing as a Heuristic Practice Throughout the Ethnographic Process
Authors: Bosco Marie Mazzella di
Published: November 2024

In this article, I reflect on my practice of drawing during fieldwork and throughout the analysis and writing process of my PhD Thesis. The aim here is to explore the heuristic potential of drawing, well before any illustrative use. Rather than in the production of images, the major interest of drawing lies in the highly revealing dimension of the process itself. Through the physical commitment it implies, each sketch is a sensuous coming back to ethnographic material, as a pencil-in-hand meditation. Regardless of any aesthetic or artistic qualities of the productions, the very act of drawing provides the opportunity to pause and consider one’s fieldwork without words, by connecting the ethnographer to feelings and embodied memories. Then only after, if drawings eventually enter a restitution process, they possess an evocative power where the author’s subjectivity is fully owned. Furthermore, they provide readers with a shift in perceptions, shedding new light on descriptions, participants’ words and theoretical developments.

Social Media as a Conduit for Secondary Trauma
Authors: Hafeez Sanam
Published: November 2024

Secondary trauma, once limited to therapists and first responders, is part of our everyday lives. Anyone with a phone and an account can talk about harrowing experiences sharing with the world at large. This creates social and psychological awareness but also trauma, inherited. We watched the murder of George Floyd, because it was filmed on several phones. No one really thinks of the trauma of a Black man or a Black mother, watching that clip. The carnage in Gaza, unrelenting for over four months, has been the most traumatizing experience I have had, and that is the reality of millions if not billions of people in the world. This chapter gives that reality a voice as a Psychologist who is one of the masses. The impact on the brain is indelible when it is readily available on the little screen that is your constant companion. This chapter talks about the very personal experience of watching a war unfold on my instagram and how we are all unwittingly witnessing some of the most graphic violence via social media.

Natural Antioxidant Compounds for Skincare
Authors: Ogidi Odangowei Inetiminebi , Ajoko Imomotimi Timipa , Chukwudi Peter
Published: November 2024

The skin is among the largest organs in the human body. In contrast to epithelial tissue, which comprises the epidermis, connective tissue comprises the dermis. Oxidative stress arises from the daily exposure of the epidermis to numerous detrimental elements. Skin integrity and homeostasis are compromised when cellular defenses against reactive oxygen species fail to maintain equilibrium with antioxidant defenses. To effectively stimulate skin immunological responses to stress, it is critical to consider the skin microbiota, immune and nonimmune cells, and the skin itself. The growing need for new molecules that can influence immunological processes in the skin has led to increased development efforts, especially in the area of compounds produced from natural products. This chapter discusses various kinds of natural antioxidants that have been demonstrated to influence skin immunological responses, along with their mechanisms of action and capacity. It also covers the application of antioxidants in skincare, limitations and future prospects.
