Authors: Sanz Ortega Javier Teófilo
Published: February 2025

Este trabajo analiza la relación de causalidad en el sentido de Granger entre los índices de la familia Ibex (Ibex 35, Ibex Medium Cap e Ibex Small Cap), y el índice para empresas en expansión BME Growth 15. Los resultados sugieren la existencia de una relación de causalidad de Granger unidireccional desde los índices Ibex35 y del Ibex Medium Cap hacia el índice BME Growth 15 y una relación de causalidad de Granger bidireccional entre Ibex Small Cap y BME Growth 15. Así pues, se concluye que los índices Ibex35 y del Ibex Medium Cap contienen información útil que no está presente en el índice BME Growth 15 que puede ayudar a explicar la evolución a corto plazo de este último y que existen mecanismos de realimentación entre los índices Ibex Small Cap y BME Growth 15.

La responsabilidad social es una tendencia que las empresas han adoptado en el entorno en el que desarrollan sus actividades, debido a que se ha ido convirtiendo en una exigencia de las partes interesadas, es así como a través de los Reportes de Sustentabilidad (RS), las organizaciones han podido comunicar la información cuantitativa y cualitativa del impacto de sus actividades al medio ambiente.

Aunque resulta una buena práctica, el contenido de los RS no es homogéneo por no contar con una estructura establecida, por lo que el primer objetivo de la investigación es analizar los ejes temáticos ambientales de la Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) en los reportes presentados y evaluar el tipo de información revelada de las empresas Grupo Bimbo, FEMSA y Grupo Herdez.

Y como segundo objetivo, contrastar las políticas tributarias ambientales mexicanas con las políticas tributarias ambientales de España, por ser uno de los países de la Unión Europea que cuenta con tributos ambientales con una recaudación de 19,750 millones de euros en el año 2020 que representó un 7.7% del total de impuestos que pagan los españoles (González, 2022) para emitir recomendaciones de implementación en México.
Investigating the Effects of Future Climate on Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Spore Dynamics in a Belgian Pear Orchard Ecosystem
Authors: Vercauteren Chloë , Claessens Vera , Soudzilovskaia Nadia
Published: February 2025

Climate change poses a critical threat to both global natural and agricultural ecosystems, significantly affecting essential soil microbial communities, including arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). These fungi form essential symbiotic relations with most terrestrial plant species, including economically significant ones such as fruit trees. As AMF are sensitive to climatic fluctuations, climate change influences AMF community species composition, diversity, ecological functions, and potentially even the temporal dynamics. Jointly this affects nature and temporal dynamics of AMF interactions with host plants. Although research has explored the impact of individual climate variables on AMF, a major knowledge gap remains in regard to how multiple climate parameters, exhibiting realistic climate change, simultaneously affect AMF community dynamics. This study aims to address this gap by examining the response of AMF to the worst-case climate change scenario (RCP8.5) forecasted for 2040. Using the state-of-the-art Ecotron facility, both ambient (2018) and future (2040) climate conditions were simulated for a pear orchard ecosystem, with six pear trees cultivated under each set of climatic conditions. We assessed climate change impact on AMF spore reproductive activity species composition (i.e., ratio intraradical over extraradical), and temporal dynamics, revealing patterns of dormancy and activity, and providing insights into the shifts in AMF community phenology induced by climate change. Our research advances the understanding of climate-driven dynamics of AMF in agricultural systems, providing insights into sustainable crop production and soil fertility under future climate conditions.
РОЗВИТОК МУЛЬТИМОДАЛЬНОЇ ГРАМОТНОСТІ ЗДОБУВАЧІВ НА ЗАНЯТТЯХ З ІНОЗЕМНОЇ МОВИ У ЗАКЛАДАХ ВИЩОЇ ОСВІТИ
Authors: Воробйова Алла Вікторівна
Published: February 2025

Покращення якості освіти та посилення мотивації здобувачів ЗВО вимагає переходу від мономодального (монокодового) режиму передавання знань до створення навчально-дидактичної бази у мультимодальному (мультикодовому) форматі. Сучасна полікодовість освіти супроводжується перманентним розвитком мультимедійних технологій, що призводить до нового розуміння того, що означає бути грамотним. Виникає потреба вивчати основи мультимодальної грамотності – вміння розуміти та продукувати мову засобами різних модусів вираження. Статтю присвячено актуальній проблемі пошуку шляхів інтенсифікації навчання мультимодальної грамотності на заняттях з іноземної мови у ЗВО. Проведено наукову розвідку останніх досліджень вітчизняних та зарубіжних науковців. У статті виокремлено специфічні якості креолізованого тексту (матеріальність, стислість, семіотичність), робота над вдосконаленням яких забезпечує високу ефективність сприйняття й продукування полікодового матеріалу. Матеріальність реалізується через двовимірне функціонування інтерактивних знаків (синтагматично та парадигматично), а також через трансформацію та інтеграцію знаків у різні модуси вираження. Стислість мультимодального тексту сприяє одночасно його скороченню і збільшенню в об’ємі. Семіотичність проявляється через якісне сприйняття й використання паралінгвальних та екстралінгвальних елементів дискурсу як окремо, так і в їхній взаємодії. У статті розглянуто переваги мультимодальних режимів для формування соціокультурної компетентності студентів. Результати дослідження демонструють, що у більшості випадків зміст мультимодального матеріалу ефективно підтримується через культурні та соціальні приклади мовної інтеракції. Дослідження пропонує детальний розгляд змістового та структурного аспектів методики розвитку мультимодальної грамотності студентів на заняттях з іноземної мови у ЗВО. Визначено, що вибір методу роботи з мультимодальним текстом залежить від його змісту. Теоретичний матеріал (науковий стиль) у мультикодовому форматі сприяє якісному розумінню й запам’ятовуванню. Зміст у художньому стилі, попередньо поданий мономодально, стає дієвим інструментом для створення власного мультимодального продукту. Універсальний контент розмовно-побутового або публіцистичного стилю дозволяє розвивати мультимодальну грамотність на всіх етапах: сприйняття, аналізу, часткового моделювання та повного продукування полікодового матеріалу. Аналіз змісту слугує основою для визначення методично доцільного формату роботи на занятті з іноземної мови. Доведено, що якісний розвиток мультимодальної грамотності включає формування умінь правильно сприймати та продукувати семіотичі (лінгвальні, паралінгвальні) і сенсорно-перцептивні знаки, інтегрувати їх у різні матеріали, лаконічно передавати через полікодові засоби вираження. Створення методичного інструментарію для розвитку такої грамотності має спиратись на контент та структурну організацію мультимодального матеріалу.

Sleep is widely recognized as a public health concern due to its impact on societal well-being and healthcare expenses. Emerging evidence suggests that insufficient sleep may significantly increase the risk of obesity and cardiovascular event. To date few studies have examined sleep duration and patterns within Malaysian boarding school particularly in Muslim Gifted and Talented institution. This study aims to identify sleep duration and investigate its relationship with body mass index (BMI) among first-year students of Kolej PERMATA Insan. Demographic data including gender, height, and weight were analysed using descriptive analysis. A linear regression test was applied to explore the relationship between BMI and sleep duration. Result indicated that male students slept significantly longer compared to female students. However, no association was found between sleep duration and BMI. This postulates that the structured environment and healthy lifestyle prepared by the Muslim Gifted and Talented Institution may mitigate potential negative impacts of insufficient sleep on BMI.

Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is a rare, aggressive salivary neoplasm. We present a 64-year-old woman with locally advanced salivary
duct carcinoma of the left parotid gland with metastatic involvement of the left cervical lymph nodes. A radical left-sided parotidectomy
with left-sided cervical lymphatic dissection was performed. Given the advanced disease/pT4 pN2b M0, as well as the aggressive nature
of the proven carcinoma, the patient was referred for postoperative combined chemoradiotherapy (Ch-RT). Despite aggressive complex
local treatment, on the background of achieved local and regional tumor control, at the sixth month after its completion, PET/CT proved
metabolically active accumulation in the left extra-regional axillar lymph nodes and in the left occipital implantation metastases.
Strict pathohistological and differential diagnosis of this rare, aggressive tumor requires immunohistochemical analysis of androgen
receptors (AR), which are usually positive. In case of distant metastatic dissemination, it is necessary to carry out AR target therapy.

Published: February 2025

Songs are written in artistic language. The artistic language is called figurative language in literature. This study is a descriptive study of figurative language in traditional Timorese songs. Timorese songs have figurative meanings hidden in the lyrics. Finding out figurative language's types and meanings is exciting and challenging. Therefore, the research objectives are to identify the types of figurative language and their meanings. This study was a documentary study using the qualitative method. The data was collected by reviewing 11 Timorese songs. The research procedures were downloading the songs (videos) from YouTube, transcribing and translating the data, identifying the figurative language, classifying them into types, analyzing and interpreting the meanings, and concluding. Data analysis used Miles and Huberman's data analysis; data reduction, data display, and data conclusion or verification. The research found seven types of figurative language; 1) simile (four sentences), 2) metaphor (three sentences), 3) allegory (four sentences), 4) personification (four sentences), 5) antonomasia (one sentence), and 6) epithet (three sentences). Figurative language in Timorese songs is a description the songwriter uses to explain meaning through unusual comparisons to attract attention and make something more straightforward. Future research on figurative language in traditional songs can be done to find more types and meanings.

Bir gazel, kaside veya mesnevi beyitlerinin önüne aynı vezin ve kafiyede üçer mısra eklenmesiyle oluşan beşer dizelik bendlere tahmis denilmektedir. Bir tahmisin muteber sayılabilmesi için eklenen mısraların vezin, anlam, biçim, mana ve kafiye bakımından eklendiği beyit ile birlik, bütünlük ve uygunluk göstermesi gerekmektedir. Şiir divanlarında diğer musammatlarla bir arada bulunan tahmislere divan şairleri çok rağbet göstermiştir. Bu yüzden neredeyse her şairin divanında tahmis yer almıştır. Türk edebiyatında Türkçe tahmislerin yanı sıra Farsça tahmisler de kaleme alınmıştır. Farsça tahmis yazan şairlerden biri de Mehmed Emîn Yümnî’dir. Yümnî, Ahmed Efendi adında birinin oğlu olup 1261 (1845)’de Süleymaniye’de doğmuştur. Medrese eğitiminden sonra 1282 (1865)’de Süleymaniye Tahrîrât Müdüriyeti Muavinliği’ne tayin olmuş, ancak daha sonra oradan istifa etmiş ve İstanbul’a gelmiştir. 1284 (1867)’te Bâbıalî tercüme odası ve 1291 (1874)’de Hoy Şehbenderliği’nde çalışmıştır. Arapça, Farsça, Kürtçe, Fransızca ve Türkçe dillerini bilen Yümnî, Van, Şehrizur, Cidde, Musul, Elâzığ ve Şebinkarahisar vilayetlerinde çeşitli görevlerde bulunmuştur. 1342 (1924)’de vefat etmiş ve Merkez Efendi Kabristanı’nda toprağa verilmiştir. Birçok eser yazmış olan Yümnî’nin en önemli eseri Hâfız-i Şîrâzî’nin Dîvânı’na yazdığı Farsça tahmistir. Bu eserde Hâfız’ın 602 gazeli ile 7 mesnevisine tahmis yazılmıştır. 1339 (1923)’da yazılan ve Cezbe-i Aşk adıyla anılan bu eserin sonunda Yümnî’nin bazı şiir seçkileri de bulunmaktadır. 1339 (1923)’da Kâdızâde tarafından İstanbul’da Kitâb-i Cezbe-i Aşk adıyla neşredilen söz konusu eser hakkında bu çalışmada detaylı bilgi verilecektir.

Okul öncesi dönemde çocuklara din eğitimi kritik bir öneme sahiptir. Bu dönemde sağlanan etkili din eğitimi, çocuğun ilerleyen yaşlardaki din anlayışını olumlu yönde etkilemektedir. Alanında uzman eğitimciler, bu dönemin önemini vurgularken ailenin rolü ve okul öncesi eğitim kurumlarının etkileri üzerinde durmaktadır. Ancak, bu konuda sınırlı sayıda makale ve kitap bulunmaktadır. Albert Biesinger ve arkadaşları tarafından yazılan “Gott Mit Neuen Augen Sehen” isimli kitap, bu alana katkı sağlayan önemli bir eserdir. Kitap, yetişkinlerin dini bilgilerini geliştirmeyi ve çocukların dini kimliklerinin oluşumuna yardımcı olmayı amaçlamaktadır. Yaratıcının merhameti çerçevesinde, çocuk ile Yaratıcı arasında aktif bir iletişim sağlanmaktadır. Sevgi dolu bir Tanrı tasavvuru ile kutsal metinler ve etkinlikler aracılığıyla, çocukların içsel ve manevi gelişimleri yaygın eğitim çerçevesinde desteklenmektedir.

Background: Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) faces significant barriers, particularly in the first 7 days postpartum, primarily due to a lack of knowledge and skills about lactation among mothers and their partners. Couple classes have been proposed as a potential solution, as they provide lactation education to both mothers and their partners from pregnancy onward. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of couple classes in enhancing breastfeeding rates and preventing breast milk stagnation during the early postpartum period. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a posttest control group was used, targeting third-trimester pregnant women. The sample consisted of pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria, along with their husbands, who lived together and consented to participate. Exclusion criteria included husbands who worked out of town, those who did not attend all sessions, and those who experienced emergencies during pregnancy, childbirth, or postpartum. A total of 25 participants were assigned to each group through simple random sampling. The intervention group received couple class education, which was delivered online via WhatsApp Groups, along with direct assistance within the first 7 days postpartum. This support lasted for one month. The control group received standard care according to the PMB’s (Praktik Mandiri Bidan or Independent Midwife Practices) SOP (Standard operational procedure). Posttests were conducted on the seventh day postpartum. Breastfeeding rates and the occurrence of breast milk engorgement were assessed using a checklist. Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test to compare differences between the groups. Results: A significant difference in breastfeeding rates during the first 7 days was observed between the two groups (p = 0.034). Additionally, there was a significant difference in the prevention of breast milk engorgement (p = 0.017). Conclusions: Couple classes effectively increase breastfeeding rates and prevent breast engorgement, with online materials providing an efficient and impactful method of support.

Background: Vitamin A is a critical nutrient that dissolves in fat, is stored in the liver, and must be sourced externally, as the body cannot produce it. Its significance for toddlers and children is undeniable, particularly in preventing infections and enhancing the body’s immunity. Methods: This study decisively examines the knowledge of mothers in Cikondang Village, Cibeber District, Cianjur, Indonesia, regarding the administration of vitamin A capsules to their toddlers. We employed an analytical report method to assess this important issue. A total of 20 mothers were sampled using a total sampling technique, and primary data was collected directly from the respondents with suitable instruments. Results: The results are compelling. Before counseling, 13 respondents (65%) were classified as having poor knowledge, with an average score of 53.05. Following the counseling session, 12 respondents (60%) demonstrated a significant improvement, moving into the good knowledge category, with an average score of 78.30. The Wilcoxon test analysis confirmed these findings with a p-value of 0.000. Conclusions: counseling has a profound and measurable impact on maternal knowledge. Local health services must continue to provide education on the critical importance of vitamin A consumption.
Music as a social instrument: a brief historical and conceptual perspective
Authors: Bannan Nicholas , Harvey Alan R.
Published: February 2025

This article addresses the origins and purpose of communal music-making, including dance, and its role in human sociality. It accords special significance to the adapted nature of human vocalization, and the sensorimotor discrimination that allows the prediction and then generation of musically relevant, coordinated and simultaneous movements. Commencing with a historical survey of the development of ideas about the evolutionary importance of music in human social behavior, this mini-review then sets out to define and explore key issues involved in an evolutionary explanation. These include: acquisition and control of parameters required for vocal production (synchronization of pitch, timbre, duration and loudness); the exchange and transmission of pitched utterances in unison as well as in harmony; the roles of natural and sexual selection in shaping human musical abilities; the nature of cooperative behavior, and the consequences for social bonding of such interaction throughout life; transmission of such behaviors across generations, and the interaction between genes and culture that drives the evolution of complex social behavior in Homo sapiens. The article concludes with a brief review of current research that deals with contributory features of this field, especially in neuroscience which continues to provide important psychophysiological data that reinforces the long-held proposal that music has a key role in promoting cooperative, prosocial interactions leading to health and wellbeing over the human lifespan.
