De los márgenes al mainstream. Agustín Laje y la “batalla cultural” de las derechas radicalizadas
Authors: Saferstein Ezequiel
Published: August 2024

En los últimos años, las derechas radicales se han posicionado como actores políticos insoslayables en la coyuntura latinoamericana, tanto desde la movilización y activismo político cultural como también a nivel electoral. En el caso argentino, las transformaciones sociales sobre las que se apoya la irrupción de Javier Milei –el economista que triunfó en las elecciones presidenciales de 2023– no se reducen al declive de los partidos tradicionales ni a la crisis económica de largo arrastre, sino que implican procesos socioculturales más profundos, no desvinculados de lo global, pero con modulaciones nacionales específicas. Una de las dimensiones a considerar en relación al ascenso de las derechas radicalizadas es su dimensión cultural, en lo que refiere a la conformación de un espacio de producción, circulación y difusión de ideas, discursos, prácticas e interacciones que configuran un dispositivo de cultura masiva que promueve una “batalla cultural” contra el progresismo que resulta clave para pensar las formas de subjetivación política contemporánea. El politólogo argentino Agustín Laje se ha posicionado en los últimos años como uno de los principales referentes intelectuales en el campo de las derechas de Argentina en particular y latinoamericanas en general, desde una carrera que puede pensarse como iniciada desde los márgenes y que derivó en el mainstream a través de libros y contenidos digitales. Este artículo aborda la escena cultural de las derechas radicalizadas en la Argentina a partir del caso de Laje, sus textos, sus iniciativas culturales y los agentes que median en sus producciones y permiten que sus seguidores accedan y se vinculen con ellas. Mediante el análisis de sus libros e intervenciones, observaciones participantes en sus eventos, entrevistas en profundidad a editores, mediadores y consumidores de sus producciones, se estudia cómo Laje combina estrategias tradicionales y emergentes de intervención pública, en donde la publicación de libros y el posicionamiento intelectual materializan un programa de “batalla cultural” de las derechas radicalizadas en la Argentina.
El papel de la industria editorial en la legitimación ideológica de la derecha radical en América Latina
Authors: Palomino Roy
Published: August 2024

Este artículo analiza los elementos peritextuales elaborados por diferentes editoriales en la difusión de cinco libros políticos asociados a la derecha radical latinoamericana: La fatal ignorancia. La anorexia cultural de la derecha frente al avance ideológico progresista de Axel Kaiser, El libro negro de la nueva izquierda. Ideología de género o subversión cultural de Nicolás Márquez y Agustín Laje, Cómo hablar con un progre. Por qué en lugar de hacerla desaparecer, la socialdemocracia incrementa la pobreza de Gloria Álvarez Cross, Cómo derrotar al neoprogresismo. Una batalla política de Álvaro Zicarelli y La batalla cultural: Reflexiones críticas para una Nueva Derecha de Agustín Laje. A través de un análisis de las estrategias discursivas elaboradas en las contraportadas, y en la elección de los prologuistas, se determina el nivel de implicación de cada editorial en la acumulación de capital cultural y simbólico de los autores mencionados, así como en la legitimación de los discursos elaborados por éstos. Aunque se identificaron diferentes tipos de estrategias utilizadas por Unión Editorial, Deusto, Sudamericana y Harper Collins, queda en evidencia que estas editoriales reprodujeron la comparación por contraste, la cual fue planteada por los autores, para posicionar así a la derecha, en todos sus espectros, como defensora de la individualidad y el desarrollo de la sociedad; mientras que la izquierda, en todos sus espectros, es señalada como perjudicial para la nación por lo que debía ser combatida y derrotada. De esta forma, las editoriales promovieron y validaron, algunas de forma más directa que otras, un discurso radical de derecha en un contexto en el que se registra un incremento en el consumo de los libros políticos de esta tendencia.

Fitoplancton en el sitio RAMSAR “Esteros del Iberá” (Argentina): Una comparación entre años de sequía e inundación
Authors: Forastier Marina E. , Contreras Felix I. , Franceschini María C.
Published: August 2024

En este estudio se analiza la abundancia, diversidad, riqueza de especies y equitatividad del fitoplancton en los Esteros del Iberá (Argentina), en dos condiciones climáticas contrastantes, tanto para ambientes leníticos y lóticos. Los análisis mostraron que la abundancia del fitoplancton en la mayoría de los ambientes del sistema Iberá no es afectada por la variabilidad climática; sin embargo, si se ve modificada la diversidad, riqueza de especies y equitatividad del fitoplancton. En las grandes lagunas predominan las cianobacterias como componentes del fitoplancton, con los valores más altos de densidad en la laguna Iberá durante el período seco. Dos de las especies encontradas de cianobacterias (Raphidiopsis raciborskii y Microcystis aeruginosa) son formadoras de floraciones y potenciales productoras de cianotoxinas, por lo que se recomienda acciones de monitoreo de vigilancia para estas especies y manejo sustentable para las actividades turísticas y de conservación.
National Holidays and Collective Leave for Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha Within the Framework of Religious Moderation in Indonesia
Authors: Yaqin 'Alamul , Khasna Syarifa
Published: August 2024

This study aims to analyze the dynamics of governing holidays and collective leave for Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, as well as their relationship to the implementation of religious moderation in Indonesia. The complexities associated with recognizing these Islamic celebrations arise from the diverse methods employed by the government, mass organizations, Islamic groups, and Sufi orders to determine the commencement of the Hijri month. A qualitative research approach was adopted, utilizing library research methods. Data were sourced from literature pertaining to governmental decisions on Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, as well as the perspectives of Nahdlatul Ulama, Muhammadiyah, Islam Aboge, and Jamaah Tarekat Naqsabandiyah Padang City. Additionally, literature on religious moderation and its application in Indonesia was examined. Findings indicate that the Indonesian Government, Nahdlatul Ulama, Muhammadiyah, Islamic Aboge, and Jamaah Tarekat Naqsabandiyah employ distinct methodologies for determining the dates of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. The celebrations of these Islamic holidays in Indonesia align with key indicators of religious moderation, including national commitment, tolerance, non-violence, and the embrace of tradition. However, the study concludes that further interventions are necessary to mitigate potential future disputes and enhance the implementation of religious moderation in this context.
Multicultural Transformation in Waqf Land Registration: Role of Waqf Pledge Deed Officials in Manado, Indonesia
Authors: Lahilote Hasyim Sofyan , Subeitan Syahrul Mubarak
Published: August 2024

This study explores the multicultural transformation in waqf land registration in Indonesia, focusing on the role of Waqf Pledge Deed Officials (PPAIWs) in Singkil District, Manado City. Employing a multicultural approach integrated with empirical legal research methods, this study examines how national waqf policies interact with cultural and religious diversity at the local level. Data collection methods include legal document analysis, field observations, and in-depth interviews with PPAIWs, nazhirs, religious leaders from various communities, and government officials. The data were analyzed using a multicultural theoretical framework, emphasizing the concepts of 'interactive multiculturalism' and 'dialogical multiculturalism'. The findings reveal that only 18.9% of waqf lands are certified and 21.6% have Waqf Pledge Deeds, reflecting the challenges in aligning national policies with local multicultural realities. However, the adaptive strategies of PPAIWs in bridging cultural and religious differences demonstrate the potential for multicultural transformation in waqf management. This study proposes a more inclusive model of waqf registration, including cross-cultural outreach programs, flexible legal interpretations, and the utilization of interfaith dialogue. This research contributes to a more nuanced understanding of religious law implementation in pluralistic societies, offering new insights into how waqf policies can be enriched through a multicultural approach to enhance social harmony and administrative effectiveness.

Authors: Purnamasari Listya , Carreon Janine M. , Dela Cruz Joseph F.
Published: August 2024

Poultry production contributes significantly to the agricultural economy. Nutrition is one important factor in having competent poultry production. Currently, there is a lot of research about natural alternatives or feed additives that are low in cost and can help increase the overall performance and improve poultry health conditions without any adverse effects. Macroalgae such as green seaweeds can meet these parameters. It is easily available and is considered a rich source of proteins, polysaccharides, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, pigments, and antioxidants. Most often, seaweeds are used as feed additives for broiler chickens as they can induce a beneficial impact on production parameters (body weight (BW), average daily gain (ADG), feed consumption (FC), and feed conversion ratio (FCR) and meat quality. However, there are several challenges in using green seaweed as a protein alternative for broiler chickens such as its toxic and antinutritional components, as well as varying available supply due to seasonal effects, diseases, location, and environmental pollution. Furthermore, the main objective of this review is to evaluate the different research conducted on green seaweed as a potential protein source in broilers.

Potato plant (Solanum tuberosum L.) is an important food source as well as an alternative food. Potato productivity in Indonesia experienced a decline in production in 2020, due to the limited availability of quality seeds. Efforts to overcome these problems with seed production using an aeroponic system. The time interval for nutrition in potato aeroponics was controlled by a timer. Use of appropriate varieties in aeroponics in order to increase yields. The aim of the study was to determine the time interval for giving nutrition, the best variety, and the interaction between the time interval for giving nutrition and the kinds of varieties. The research was carried out at the Greenhouse of the Faculty of Agriculture, Tidar University (1,200 masl) from February-May 2022 using a factorial (2x2) completely randomized design (CRD). Factor I interval of nutrition includes 5 minutes off and 15 minutes on (I1), 10 minutes off and 15 minutes on (I2). Factor II varieties include varieties of granola L. (V1) dan tedjo MZ. (V2). The data were analyzed using ANOVA and continued with the BNT test. The results showed that the interval (I2) was best for plant height and number of leaves, while for (I1) the best results were on fresh tuber. Two varieties of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) had no effect on all observation parameters. The interaction between the interval of nutrition and the variety was responded the same to all observation parameters

A spatial-genetic relationship between native placers of gold and their indigenous and intermediate sources in the zone of the Main Ural fault is considered. Morphogenetic features of native gold and its internal structure, studied in non-relief polishes according to different classes of size and horizons of the Vorontsovsky Log placer, indicate a long-term connection of the placer with the primary source, which apparently are gold-quartz veins with low-sulfide mineralization of the middle-depth formation.
Рассмотрена пространственно-генетическая связь между ложковыми россыпями золота и их коренными и промежуточными источниками в зоне Главного Уральского разлома. Морфогенетические особенности шлихового золота и его внутренней структуры, изученные в безрельефных полировках по разным классам крупности и горизонтам россыпи Воронцовский Лог, указывают на длительную связь россыпи с первоисточником, которым видимо, являются золото-кварцевые жилы с малосульфидной минерализацией среднеглубинной формации.

Published: August 2024

The valley of the Yuryuzan River from the mouth of the Ust-Kanda River to the Yangantau Hill flows along the foot of the hills of the western slope of the Southern Urals, composed of Carboniferous rocks, and crosses the southern part of the Yuryuzan-Ai Plain of the Fore-Urals, formed by Lower Permian rocks. The geological sections of Nasi, Belekei kaya and Kyzyrbak are the reference sections for the Bashkirian Stage of the Middle Carboniferous. There are several key-sections of the Lower Permian deposits: in the Novokaratavly and Kurgazak sections, rocks of the Akhunovo Suite of the Asselian Stage were exposed; the Tatarsky Maloyaz and Urdaly sections represent the Kapysovo and Urdalin formations of the Sakmarian Stage; the Yangantau section is the reference section for the Yangantau Suite and the Iltaevo section – for the Tandak Suite of the Artinskian Stage. The Yuryuzan River in this part of the valley has 8 tributaries. 19 speleological objects are associated with Carboniferous carbonate rocks, including the Salavat Yulaev Cave, Kalmaklarovskaya and Kyzyrbakskaya 1 and 2 Caves. There are 49 springs on the territory, among which the most powerful mineral spring is Kurgazak. The creation of geological and ecological paths equipped with information stands will help increase the importance of natural objects and will focus the attention of the population on the need for their protection and careful attitude towards natural objects in general.

Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT
Background: Non-pharmacological therapies are complementary to pharmacological therapies for managing disease symptoms, including pain, and can be integrated into a self-management program, enhancing patient independence and autonomy. It has been discovered that therapies that are non-pharmacological for pain relief are effective with minimal side effects. This study, therefore, seeks to determine how frequently non-pharmacological methods (NPMs) are used in the management of postoperative pain (POP) and the influence of these NPMs on patient satisfaction.
Methods: This study had a descriptive cross-sectional design. A quantitative approach was used with a structured questionnaire based on the International Pain Outcome Questionnaire (IPO-Q) to obtain responses from patients from October 2019 to December 2019.
Results: The majority of the patients, 52.2%, responded using some form of (NPM) for pain relief. The most widely used non-pharmacological method of pain relief was mobilization, representing 79.2%. The male participants were observed to use more NPMs for pain relief. Most patients (51.4%) who used NPMs for pain relief reported that their pain was not relieved. A majority (90.6%) of the participants desired more pain treatment. The type of surgery the patients underwent had a statistically significant negative correlation with using NPMs for pain relief. A higher percentage (71%) of participants were highly satisfied with their overall pain treatment.
Conclusion: Pain is subjective, and it would be appropriate if patients were allowed to describe the location and intensity of their pain and choose their preferred NPMs which would be of help.

BackgroundLittle is known about the practices and resources employed by general practitioners (GPs) in Singapore to manage late-life depression. As the country is stepping up its efforts to promote collaborative care across community mental health and geriatric care, understanding GPs’ current practices when managing late-life depression appears timely. MethodsThis qualitative descriptive study explored the perspectives on late-life depression of 28 private GPs practicing in Singapore through online semi-structured group and individual interviews. GPs were purposively sampled across age, gender, and ethnicity. Analysis followed a reflexive thematic approach and focused on physician- and system-related factors.FindingsClinical instinct, experience, and knowledge of appropriate resources for specific patients played an important role for GPs during late-life depression care. GPs paid particular attention to communicating with patients tactfully during initial assessments and diagnosis, although some GPs chose to be upfront with patients with whom they had already established rapport. Using non-English languages when communicating about depression could mitigate stigma in some cases but added confusion in others. GPs relied primarily on their own professional support network to manage late-life depression. Although GPs acknowledged the usefulness of public care services, they felt that collaborative care was hindered by a lack of efficient communication channels between providers and appropriate financial coverage to coordinate the frequently complex care of depressed older adults.InterpretationCurrent resources and practices to manage late-life depression vary greatly between private GPs in Singapore. This needs to be considered during ongoing reforms to achieve effective collaborative care.

Major urban-rural differences in perception of a visual illusion
Authors: Kroupin Ivan , Davis Helen Elizabeth , Lopes Aparicio José Paredes , Konkle Talia , Muthukrishna Michael
Published: August 2024

Culture shapes higher-level processes such as norms and reasoning styles. The extent to which culture affects more low-level, automatic mental processes remains largely unknown. Here we show stark cross-cultural differences in perception of the Coffer visual illusion, which contains two percepts: rectangles and circles. Our data reveal that 97% of US and UK participants see only rectangles or rectangles first, but 96% of Namibian Himba participants from traditional villages see only circles or circles first. How we see the world may be shaped by exposure to right-angled stimuli across an urban-rural gradient. These results have implications for research relying overwhelmingly on participants (human, machine, non-human animal) exposed to highly carpentered environments (urban environments for humans and machine training datasets, cages/aquaria for non-human animals).
Childhood maltreatment is associated with lower exploration and disrupted prefrontal activity and connectivity during reward learning in volatile environments
Authors: Armbruster-Genc Diana , Neil Louise , Valton Vincent , Philips Harriet , Rankin Georgia , Sharp Molly , Rapley Jessica , Viding Essi , Roiser Jonathan Paul , McCrory Eamon
Published: August 2024

Background: Atypical reward processing is implicated in a range of psychiatric disorders associated with childhood maltreatment and may represent a latent vulnerability mechanism. In this longitudinal study, we investigated the impact of maltreatment on behavioural and neural indices of reward learning in volatile environments and examined associations with future psychopathology assessed 18 months later. Methods: Thirty-seven children and adolescents with documented histories of maltreatment (MT group) and a carefully matched group of 32 non-maltreated individuals (NMT group) aged 10-16 were presented with a probabilistic reinforcement learning task featuring a phase of stable and a phase of volatile reward contingencies. Brain activation and connectivity were assessed simultaneously using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Computational models were used to extract individual estimates of learning rates and temperature, and neural signals in prespecified regions of interest were analysed during volatile and stable environments. In regression analyses, behavioural measures and neural signals at baseline were used to predict psychological symptoms at follow-up. Results: The MT group showed lower behavioural exploration, which predicted decreased internalising symptoms at follow-up. The MT group had lower activation in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) during outcome delivery in volatile relative to stable contexts. OFC connectivity with an area in the mid-cingulate cortex was also lower during outcome processing, which predicted higher general psychopathology at follow-up. Conclusions: These findings are consistent with the notion that low exploratory behaviour following childhood maltreatment is potentially a protective adaptation against internalising symptoms, while disrupted neural processing of reward learning in volatile environments may index latent vulnerability to mental illness.
A guidebook for building and sustaining Racial Equity Learning-Action Communities in academia

Published: August 2024

Due to the longstanding issue of systemic racial inequity in academia, there is a pressing need for sustainable antiracist communities within academic settings. While many in academia aspire to antiracist practice, practical frameworks for weaving antiracist education and actions into academic life are scarce. In this guide, we share our experiences within a Racial Equity Learning-Action Community that has been active since 2020. We discuss how others can 1) create a community founded on similar principles, 2) implement antiracist actions as a collective, and 3) highlight successful, enduring antiracist initiatives. We offer a blueprint for how academics can engage in antiracist efforts alongside colleagues, illustrating how such groups can foster and sustain antiracist actions. We share this framework in the hope that it will equip others with the tools needed to establish and maintain their own Racial Equity Learning-Action Communities.
How much semantic information is available in large language model tokens?
Authors: Haslett David A. , Cai Zhenguang G.
Published: August 2024

Large language models segment many words into multiple tokens. For example, GPT-4 segments "dogcatcher" into dog+catch+er. Companies that make those models claim that meaningful subword tokens are essential, yet tokens often appear meaningless or misleading. For example, GPT-4 segments "anteater" into ante+ater, and those tokens don’t align with morphemes (i.e., ant+eat+er). To investigate whether tokens bear meaning, we segmented tens of thousands of words from each of 41 languages according to three generations of GPT tokenizers (GPT-2, GPT-4, and GPT-4o). We found that words which share tokens are more semantically similar than expected by chance or expected from length alone, that tokens capture morphological information even when they don’t look like morphemes, and that tokens capture more information than is explained by morphology. These results suggest that comparing tokens to morphemes overlooks the wider variety of semantic information available in word form and that standard tokenization methods successfully capture much of that information. However, tokens convey less semantic information in lower resource languages and in languages that don't use the Latin alphabet, so standard tokenization methods might entrench advantages for speakers of English and other high-resource languages.
Finnish Teachers' Perspectives on Moral Education
Authors: Wingren Mattias , Björkgren Mårten , Korhonen Johan
Published: August 2024

In Finland teachers have historically held a high degree of trust and respect, where they have been thought of not only as teachers but educators in a broader sense. This is reflected by the national curriculum dictating that teachers should not only teach, but see to their students’ social development. Interested in how this second task relates to moral education, this study interviewed teachers in how they reasoned about this second role, how it related to moral education and what supports and deters it. The teachers saw this role as central and deeply moral, where relationships, empathy and understanding were of great importance. Sound cooperation between home and school, school and municipality and between school staff were seen as clear supporting factors, whereas the inverse of these were seen as clear detriments. As a whole, the study acts as an entryway for deeper investigation of moral education in Finland.
Cognitive flexibility versus stability via activation-based and weight-based adaptations
Authors: Xu Shengjie , Verguts Tom , Braem Senne
Published: August 2024

Humans are remarkably efficient at adapting to different contextual demands by exerting optimal levels of cognitive flexibility versus stability for switching between different tasks. Here, we show how a recurrent neural network can be used to simulate behavioral indices of cognitive flexibility versus stability, and investigate how people learn and apply optimal control settings across different contexts. Our model showed both fast but transient adaptation (in activation space) to high- versus low-switch frequency conditions, and slow but more enduring shallow versus deep task attractor settings (in weight space) in these same contexts. Interestingly, it further learned to associate and use information from its context to different task attractor settings and shift along a flexibility-stability continuum. In sum, we provide a novel framework that sheds new light on classic measures of cognitive flexibility versus stability when people must switch between several tasks, through the lens of activation-based versus weight-based adaptations.

The purpose of this study is to measure the progress of developing the Palm Oil Industrial Estate, sumatera corridor (MP3EI). This study conducted because Industrial Park has been developed almost 10 years laready but the progress is still slow. This study analyzed the characteristics of each variables of its resources on an Industrial Park. Dumai Industrial Park is chosen as a sample. Resources Based view theory is apllied to searching the weaknes and strength of the variables. There are 7 (seven) resources based : Human resources, financial resources, phisical and location resources, natural resources, technology resources, organisation resources, and inovation resources. Each variables is devided into indicators. Then, every indicators is formulated to get the index number. Having index numbers, the web approach is using to analyze the result. The findings are:1. Eventhought the raw material resources is very atractive variable in this industrial park,, but the organization resources has the lower index ( 0) .2. it means that the local government has reluctancy to develop the Tenayan Industrial Resources. Although the other resources have good index, but they are meaningless for Tenayan Industrial development. 3. it shows that Industrial Park at Kawasan Industri Dumai has a weakness to attract the tenant in to its location.
