Authors:   The Table and Food Coordinate Society of Korea, Chang Hea-Jin , Kim Su-In
Published: January 2023

This study was conducted to strengthen the competitiveness of restaurant brands through the protection of menus and raising awareness of the rights. The scope of the study was limited to menu-related, domestic legal dispute cases and the method focused on theoretical consideration and case analysis. The results are (1) the concept of trade dress is products, packaging, design, services, and sensory markings that have attributes contributing to grasping the identity of products or services; (2) menus consisting of a combination of simple products at the level of arrangement or shape of unstructured food and ideas are difficult to be protected; (3) menus marked with simple compound words are also likely to be protected if they are recognized to have contributed to enhancing the reputation, credit, and customer attraction of a specific restaurant;. (4) the applicability of the trade dress to the dish plating was confirmed; (5) to protect trade dresses, similarities that can be regarded as infringement must be recognized along with the performance of their own efforts and investments. Based on these trade dress protection trends, suggested menu protection strategy includes preemptive measures for what conditions future sensory trademarks can be protected, database of related recipes and other data to reduce damage from menu copying, and a concept marketing strategy to have a trade dress as an entire brand image.

Authors: González-Pérez Ramón , Adams Stephen , Dowling Alexander W. , Phillip William A. , Whitmer Jonathan
Published: January 2023

Lithium ion-based batteries are ubiquitous in modern technology due to applications in personal electronics and high-capacity storage for electric vehicles. Concerns about lithium supply and battery waste have prompted interest in lithium recycling methods. The crown ether, 12-crown-4, has been studied for its abilities to form stable complexes with lithium ions (\ce{Li+}). In this paper, molecular dynamics simulations are applied to examine the binding properties of a 12-crown-4—\ce{Li+} system in aqueous solution. It was found that 12-crown-4 did not form stable complexes with \ce{Li+} in aqueous solution due to the binding geometry which was prone to interference by surrounding water molecules. In addition, the binding properties of sodium ions (\ce{Na+}) to 12-crown-4 are examined for comparison. Subsequently, calculations were performed with the crown ethers 15-crown-5 and 18-crown-6 to study their complexation with \ce{Li+} as well. It was determined that binding was unfavorable for both types of ions for all three crown ethers tested, though 15-crown-5 and 18-crown-6 showed a marginally greater affinity for \ce{Li+} than 12-crown-4. Metastable minima present in the potential of mean force for \ce{Na+} render binding marginally more likely there. We discuss these results in the context of membrane based applications of crown ethers for \ce{Li+} separations.
Toward routine Kohn-Sham inversion using the "Lieb-response" approach
Authors: Gould Tim
Published: January 2023

Kohn-Sham inversion, in which the effective Kohn-Sham mean-field potential is found for a given density, provides insights into the nature of exact density functional theory (DFT) that can be exploited for the development of density functional approximations. Unfortunately, and despite significant and sustained progress in both theory and software libraries, KS inversion remains rather difficult in practice, and especially in finite basis sets. The present work presents a Kohn-Sham inversion method, dubbed the "Lieb-response" approach, that naturally works with existing Fock-matrix DFT infrastructure in finite basis sets, is numerically efficient, and directly provides meaningful matrix and energy quantities for pure-state and ensemble systems. Some additional work yields potentials. It thus enables the routine inversion of KS systems, as illustrated on a variety of problems within this work; and provides outputs that can be used for embedding schemes or machine learning of density functional approximations.

Published: January 2023

We present the mass balances associated with carbon dioxide (CO2) removal (CDR) using seawater as both the source of reactants, and as the reaction medium via electrolysis following the “EquaticTM” (formerly known as “SeaChange”) process. The process involves the application of an overpotential that splits water to form H+ and OH– ions, producing acidity and alkalinity, i.e., in addition to gaseous co-products, at the anode and cathode, respectively. The alkalinity that results, i.e., via the “continuous electrolytic pH pump” results in the instantaneous precipitation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), magnesium carbonates (Mg–CO3), and/or magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) depending on the CO32– activity in solution. This results in the trapping, and hence durable and permanent (at least ~10,000–100,000 years) immobilization of CO2 that was originally dissolved in water, and that is additionally drawn down from the atmosphere within: a) mineral carbonates, and/or b) as solvated bicarbonate (HCO3–) and carbonate (CO32–) ions (i.e., due to the absorption of atmospheric CO2 into seawater having enhanced alkalinity). Taken together, these actions result in the net removal of up to ≈4.6 kg of CO2 per m3 of seawater processed. Geochemical simulations quantify the extents of net CO2 removal including the dependencies on the process configuration. It is furthermore indicated that the efficiency of realkalinization of the acidic anolyte using alkaline solids depends on their H+ neutralization capacity and dissolution reactivity. We also assess changes in seawater chemistry resulting from Mg(OH)2 dissolution with emphasis on the change in its alkalinity and saturation state. Overall, this analysis provides direct quantifications of the ability of the EquaticTM process to serve as a means for technological CDR to mitigate the worst effects of accelerating climate change.

Authors: Tolmacheva Violetta A. , Iuzbashian Polina G. , Samsonova Maria D. , Romanov Dmitry V.
Published: January 2023

Background. Blepharospasm (BS) includes non-motor symptoms manifested by psychopathological disorders. The impact of these disorders on patients' quality of life and therapy of motor symptoms with botulinum toxin is poorly understood.
Aim. To analyze the correlation of different characterological personality abnormalities (CPA) with the BS severity and the response to botulinum toxin therapy (BT).
Materials and methods. Forty-six BS patients (29 females, 17 males) aged 30 to 85 years (6111.5) with BS were examined. The control group included 46 healthy individuals (39 females and 7 males, with a mean age of 56.49.67). Patients were examined before and after BT (after 12 months) using the BS severity scale (BSDI), EQ-5D (EQ-5D-3L) quality of life assessment scales, General Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) scale, Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale (BFNE-S), and SCID-II-PD structured personality questionnaire.
Results. In the BS group of patients, unemployed and non-married were more common (p0.05) than in healthy individuals. In the BS patient group, there was an increase in anxiety (15.525.6 vs 4.283.5 control group by GAD-7 scale) and fear of negative evaluation (42.449.2 in the main group vs 21.347.3 in the control group). Quality of life was lower in BS patients (65.43, median 62 vs 88.2, median 92, p0.05). The prevalence of cluster C CPA (anxiety disorders) in patients with BS and, in particular, the obsessive-compulsive disorder was revealed. Patients with different personality profiles showed no differences in the BS severity before BT. The BT efficacy was higher in patients with cluster C CPA.
Conclusion. BS patients often have anxious type CPA; in these patients, BT is more effective than in other CPAs.

Persistent postural perceptual vertigo and vestibular migraine. Case report
Authors: Zastenskaya Ekaterina N. , Antonenko Ludmila M.
Published: January 2023

Persistent postural perceptual vertigo (PPPV) and vestibular migraine (VM) are common causes of vertigo. However, despite the typical clinical presentation of PPPV and VM, these diagnoses are rarely made, and dizziness is considered a consequence of other diseases, such as cerebrovascular disorders (chronic cerebral ischemia, vertebrobasilar insufficiency), cervical spine instability, or the manifestation of vegetative dystonia syndrome. This article describes a clinical case of a patient with PPPV and VM. The diagnosis is based on the clinical presentation matched with the diagnostic criteria and an in-depth examination using additional methods to rule out other causes of dizziness. Current evidence on clinical and instrumental diagnostics of the disorders is presented.
Osteoarthropathy of the front thorax
Authors: Bunchuk Nikolay V.
Published: January 2023

This article reviews the data on a unique, rare rheumatologic syndrome osteoarthropathy of the anterior thorax (OAAT), characterized by inflammation of the bone, joint, and ligament structures that form the skeleton of the anterior thorax. OAAT is part of chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis, which occurs in adults and children and may be due to genetic mutations. The basis of this disorder is osteitis (focal lesion of the sternum, clavicles, and ribs with a tendency to the destruction of mainly articular parts and development of bone proliferation hyperostosis), arthritis with possible ankylosis development, as well as enthesitis and ligamentitis with ectopic ossification of affected soft tissues. Many patients also show similar dermatological changes: commonly palmar and plantar pustulosis and sometimes acne inversa (purulent hidradenitis and globular acne). The article describes typical radiological, scintigraphic, and MRI changes in the musculoskeletal system. The classification of chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis is reviewed. Diseases that may mimic OAAT are listed. Treatments for chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis, including bisphosphonates and biologics, are reported.

Published: January 2023

Financial inclusion is widely regarded as a key towards reducing inequality. Providing a better access to finance helps to reduce poverty by granting more equal opportunity to grow. Therefore, to promote a more inclusive economic growth, G20 countries establish principles for innovative financial inclusion to share and promote together the development of inclusive finance.  This study reviews previous both empirical and theoritical literatures to provide more evidences how the current body of literature has examined financial inclusion. Based on the previous literature, financial inclusion is determined not only by the lower cost but also distance to service, legal protection and political stability. Hence, providing wider range of services, a better legal protection and political stability is necessery particularly to promote more inclusive economic growth which is associated to financial inclusion.

Macro-invertebrate abundance on green roofs versus ground level sites in the city of Antwerp, Belgium
Authors: Jacobs Jeffrey , Beenaerts Natalie , Artois Tom
Published: January 2023

Here, the abundance of macro-invertebrates (Arthropoda and Gastropoda) of eight green roofs and their adjacent ground level habitats in the city of Antwerp, Belgium, is compared. All higher-level taxa found were present in both types of habitats without significant differences in their overall abundance between green roofs and ground level habitats. However, we found significant differences in abundances between the two types of habitats, when specific taxa were compared. Beetles (Coleoptera), isopods (Isopoda) and bees (Anthophila) were more abundant at ground level sites compared to green roofs, while for true bugs (Heteroptera) and cicadas (Auchenorrhyncha) the opposite was found. Our results support the idea that extensive green roofs in Belgium can provide a suitable habitat for different invertebrate taxa, but further research is needed to identify the true drivers behind differences in abundance between ground level and adjacent green roofs.
Wearable e-textile integrated sensors for detecting hyperkalemia and hypokalemia
Authors: Nageshwari Raja  , Maheswaran Easwaran
Published: January 2023

Recent evolutions in wearable and personalized healthcare devices have led to the emergence of real-time monitoring of the physiological and metabolic status of human beings. Detection of disorders related to potassium levels including hyperkalemia and hypokalemia is very much challenging in the current scenario. Potassium imbalance leads to massive change in electrical activity of the body especially disturbs the function of the brain, heart, nerves, bone and muscles in hospitalized patients. Potassium loss is a major concern in disorders such as hyperhidrosis and Cystic Fibrosis. Hence the real-time monitoring of potassium levels in the hospitalized patients may provide information related to latent cardiac problems and also assist in the diagnosis of apparent life-threatening diseases. Comprehensively, the real-time monitoring of potassium concentrations may shed light on the electrolyte loss, dehydration status and also the other associated diseases. In this study, the correlation between the electrocardiogram (ECG) signals and the potassium levels can diagnose the potassium imbalance in a non-invasive manner. The novelty of our work is to develop a wearable E-textile integrated sensor for the detection of hyperkalemia and hypokalemia through ECG signal. The main advantage of this product is wearable and portable, and also ensures the patient safety and user friendly particularly for elderly and disabled patients and also for children.

Authors: Swathi T  , Nithya V D
Published: January 2023

In the present study, zinc oxide (ZnO) and magnesium doped zinc oxide (Zn0.5Mg0.5O) nanoparticles were synthesized by simple and cost-effective co-precipitation method. The synthesized materials were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) with Energy dispersive X-ray spectrum (EDAX). Finally, the effect of magnesium (Mg) doping on the structural, morphological and anti-bacterial property of ZnO nanoparticles was analyzed. From the XRD results, it was found that there was a formation of hexagonal structured ZnO and the average crystallite size of ZnO and Zn0.5Mg0.5O was calculated to be 71 nm and 36 nm respectively. The FTIR analysis confirmed the existence of possible functional groups in ZnO and Zn0.5Mg0.5O. There was formation of almost spherical shaped particles as evident from FESEM images and agglomeration of particles was observed upon doping Mg into ZnO. The EDAX spectra of the prepared nanoparticles provided the composition of Zn, O in ZnO and Zn, Mg, O in Zn0.5Mg0.5O. No other elements have been found in the EDAX spectra of ZnO and Zn0.5Mg0.5O that confirmed the formation of pure materials. Finally the anti-bacterial study demonstrated that ZnO and Zn0.5Mg0.5O was effective in inhibiting E. coli bacteria.

Currently, there are about 195 nations in the world, with a population of 7.8 billion. This much higher the population directly influences higher food demand. Due to this interlink massive amount of food waste has been collected from the meat industries; especially poultry plays a major role by discharging feathers into dumps. There are about 8.5 billion tons of feathers that are wasted every year which lead to high global environmental risk and cause different human disease. This high risk is due to typical structure of feather. They have a matrix protein called keratin that makes degradation more tedious under normal condition; they are insoluble in nature with high rigidity due to the disulfide bridges. By extraction of keratin from these waste feathers are used for multipurpose such as cosmetics, biomedical, textile use, bio-fertilizers etc. In addition, as per trend by utilizing nature’s gift the microorganisms we can breakdown these matrix proteins easily. By this environmental friendly technique our works gets easier and are also cost effective. By consumption of keratin as substrate some microorganisms produce an extracellular enzyme called keratinase which has the ability to cleave the protein. The produced keratinase is a wealth out of waste which has wide biochemical properties and also used for waste water treatments. On whole the feather considers as waste is completely turned to verity of useful products ubiquitous like biodiesel, biofertilizer, biodegradable plastics, biofilms, skin, hair and other biomedical treatments.

Published: January 2023

In general, most of green leafy vegetables undergo a cooking process prior to consumption. This present study was carried out to investigate the effect of moist heat cooking treatments of the green leafy vegetable, Talinum portulacifolium on the total phenolic content and antioxidant potential using phosphomolybdenum reduction, DPPH, and ABTS radical scavenging activities. The total phenol and tannin contents were found maximum in the raw samples of the plant 78.25 and 33.84 mg GAE/g extract, respectively. The boiling and frying treatments significantly reduced the total phenolic and tannin contents in T. portulacifolium. In the antioxidant study, the raw sample of ethanol extract exhibited a strong antioxidant potential based on ABTS, DPPH, radical scavenging and phosphomolybdenum reduction assays. Further, the raw and processed powders were subjected to FTIR analysis and the functional groups of the components were separated based on their peaks. It could be concluded that boiling and frying treatments have a determining effect on the levels of phenolic content and antioxidant capacities of vegetables.
The Elusive Robert Carr: A Construction of a Jacobean Favourite, 1598-1612
Authors:   , Spence Steven
Published: January 2023

This thesis explores the early political career of the Scottish borderer Robert Carr [Kerr], earl of Somerset (1585/6–1645), a courtier and later administrator (1598-1615) in the reigns of James VI and I, King of Scotland, England, and Ireland. For the first time the pervasive contention Carr was a significant Jacobean figure will be challenged. To achieve this, cultural artefacts supplement archival sources to illustrate the era’s ever-growing paranoia about royal favouritism. The first chapter explains how contemporaries and early historians of James’ reign revived classical portrayals of tyranny to transform Carr’s conventional pattern of advancement into something extraordinary. These authors obscured Carr’s origin from the formidable Kerrs of Ferniehirst in favour of a narrative that James ignored his natural advisors and promoted a transgressive, pacifist court. The second chapter demonstrates Carr’s role as a court broker and James’ closest companion. While their friendship conformed to Renaissance norms, Carr struggled for legitimacy in an environment where favouritism was linked to sycophancy. Finally, apprehension about favourites merged with neo-Stoic concerns that James failed to understand or respect English liberties. There were attempts to present Carr as a prop for absolutism. Carr became a conduit for English frustrations about James’ refusal to abandon the Anglo-Scottish union, and he attracted baseless claims of sabotaging the 1610 ‘The Great Contract’ between King and Parliament. This thesis argues that Carr was an unremarkable figure in the milieu of the Jacobean Court. The research findings of this thesis demonstrate the deep-set prejudices against courtiers (especially Scots), which turned an inoffensive figure like Carr into one that threatened to destabilise the Commonwealth.
Marxism, Rangatiratanga, and Māori Economies: Can the rangatiratanga sphere be built within settler capitalism?
Authors:   , Webb Danielle
Published: January 2023

The dynamics of settler colonialism, of which capitalism is a dominant feature, continue to constrain the ability of Māori to assert tino rangatiratanga. Before the arrival of Europeans, rangatiratanga over every aspect of life, including the economy, lay with the rangatira of hapū and iwi. Now there are other sites of power to contend with. The state and those who control capital have significant influence over the lives of Māori, including the capacity for self-determination. Māori have long asserted rangatiratanga against the state through various campaigns to change New Zealand's constitution to reflect the agreements between rangatira and the Crown in te Tiriti o Waitangi. The most recent effort is spearheaded by Matike Mai Aotearoa, the independent working group on constitutional transformation. Matike Mai focuses on the legal and political dimensions of constitutional transformation, including the construction of a new governance system in which a 'rangatiratanga sphere' (under Māori leadership) would govern in partnership with a kāwanatanga sphere (under the Crown). Little attention is paid, however, to the economic implications of constitutional transformation or to the role of capitalism in constraining rangatiratanga. I argue that for rangatiratanga to be fully realised, radical economic transformation is required to the same degree as constitutional transformation. Indigenous Marxist conceptions of the political economy highlight the relationship between the state and capitalists in the construction and perpetuation of settler capitalism. In posing the question, 'can the rangatiratanga sphere be built within settler capitalism?’ this thesis aims both to draw attention to how settler capitalism has shaped Māori economies and to explore the role of Māori economies in restoring rangatiratanga. I develop a theoretical framework by drawing on Marxist scholarship, alongside contemporary literature on Māori economies, to help interpret the interview data from my research. A thematic analysis of the interviews suggests that the assertion or restoration of rangatiratanga is a central concern to participants in Māori economies. Far from being straightforward, however, rangatiratanga must be negotiated with the state and in the capitalist market, the very forces that have historically constrained it. I refer to this as the rangatiratanga paradox. Building the rangatiratanga sphere may be possible within settler capitalism, but it will always have to contend for power with the state and owners of capital.

Nexus of Foreign Direct Investment, Domestic Investment, Trade on Economic Growth: A Cointegration Analysis
Authors: Zaharudin Nor Amyra Shazzyra , Jalil Siti Ayu
Published: January 2023

Objective: As Malaysia is an upper-middle-income country since 1992, it aspires to achieve high-income nation status by 2028. This paper aims to examine the interrelation of foreign direct investment inflows (FDI), domestic investment (GFCF), trade openness (TO), and economic growth (GDP) in Malaysia from 1979 to 2019. Methodology: The econometric model and techniques applied are unit root test, Johansen-Juselius co-integration analysis, and vector error correction mechanism. The unit root test result indicated the stationarity of all series at the first difference. Findings: Subsequently, co-integration analysis depicted a presence of one co-integration among the series at 5% level of significance, thus VECM is an appropriate technique to apply. In the long run, VECM findings indicated 1% increase in FDI caused a decline in GDP by 0.1338%, while 1% increase in GFCF will increase GDP by 0.8136%. Also, GDP has a weak unilateral effect on FDI in the short run based on VECM causality findings. Implications: This paper certainly provides new literature and evidence for the Malaysian context through advanced techniques applied.

Heterotopías digitales: simulacro y realidades en "La sombra cazadora" (Suso de Toro) y "Sueños digitales" (Edmundo Paz Soldán)
Authors: Pedrós-Gascón Antonio Francisco
Published: January 2023

La sombra cazadora (De Toro 1995) y Sueños digitales (Paz Soldán 2000), son dos ejemplos relativamente recientes de novela distópica en la literatura hispánica. En este artículo analizaremos la manera que estos autores han tenido de plasmar lo que Baudrillard ha llamado “le crime parfait:” el asesinato de la realidad. Para ello nos centraremos en la dialéctica que establecen el poder y los medios de masas como creadores de “realidad” en la postmodernidad, para concluir con la lectura moral/social que se desprende de ambas obras.

Toda narración distópica está relacionada directa o indirectamente con la sociedad en que se produce, y de la cual el autor quiere denunciar un peligro presente o futuro. El desencanto nacional parece ser el origen de la denuncia de ambos autores. El desencanto con la nación postrevolucionaria latinoamericana es trazable en el caso del autor boliviano, y la “democracia infantilizada” (De Toro 2004: 106) que surge de la Transición española en el caso del gallego.

En el presente estudio propongo una nueva visión e interpretación de la trilogía de Agota Kristof a través de la convergencia de dos marcos teóricos: temática e identitaria. Por lo tanto, relaciono las distintas configuraciones estructurales del tema del doble en la figura de los gemelos, problemática central en la trilogía, con la condición del exilio interpretada desde un análisis del espacio autobiográfico y la construcción de la identidad narrativa; encontrando, además, que la conexión entre el doble y el exilio se repite a lo largo de la historia. De esta manera, se busca explicar con mayor exhaustividad las particularidades de esta compleja trilogía.
Valencias de la "desautomatización" en la teoría literaria del formalismo ruso
Authors: Cámara Outes Cristian
Published: January 2023

A día de hoy, podemos decir que el descrédito generalizado en que ha caido la poética estructuralista no ha tenido como consecuencia una revisión suficiente de la imagen tergiversada de las tesis principales del formalismo ruso, concertada por los autores estructuralistas de acuerdo con intereses precisos de autodescripción genealógica. Frente al heteronomismo desaforado de los estudios literarios contemporáneos, como consecuencia parcialmente extravagante de las premisas deconstructivas (aunque históricamente no tan insólita), el desglose analítico de las valencias fundamentales del término de «desautomatización» puede permitir dar cuenta de hasta qué punto el formalismo ruso elaboró un sistema completo de estudio de los fenómenos literarios, de extraordinaria sofisticación, que en todos los niveles de análisis pone el énfasis en los rasgos de antinomia, transgresión y dinamización.
El espectador desarraigado. Reflexiones en torno a "Concierto para el bioceno" de Eugenio Ampudia
Authors: Helgueta Manso Javier
Published: January 2023

Este trabajo busca analizar la obra Concierto para el bioceno(2020) de Eugenio Ampudia. Esta pieza no solo cumplió como función musical, sino en cuanto obra compleja —concierto, performance, instalación, vídeo montaje— y acontecimiento mediático y polémico. Ampudia ha sido criticado por su discutible propuesta ecologista; así también, algunos artistas le han acusado por apropiacionismo de la idea principal: colocar plantas en la proscenio. Sin embargo, no ha sido atendido el desplazamiento o suplantacióndel espectador desde un punto de vista estético. Para lograr este objetivo, es necesario emplear la teoría posdramática (Lehmann) y pensar el contexto pandémico. Este tipo de obras se enmarcan en un arte postantropocéntrico que anticipa la muerte del espectador.
Cognición distribuida y est´ética de la acumulación fragmentaria en "Permanente obra negra", de Vivian Abenshushan
Authors: Mora Vicente Luis
Published: January 2023

Una de las particularidades del fragmento narrativo contemporáneo reside en su autoconciencia y su vocación reflexiva sobre su condición inacabada. Esa recurrente peculiaridad será estudiada a partir de Permanente obra negra, de la mexicana Vivian Abenshushan, que a su investigación sobre la reticularidad suma el uso de mecanismos textuales y técnicos de conciencia distribuida, que se estudiarán desde un enfoque neurocognitivo. La novela o narrativa de Abenshushan constituye un ejemplo de cuestionamientos de todas las dimensiones de la experiencia literaria y, en cierta manera, una obra que propone una poética narrativa no unitaria para el siglo XXI.

This paper describes two volunteer-based nonprofit initiatives, COMMON and Speak Up For Peace, which originated as a response to the humanitarian crisis caused by the invasion of the Russian Federation of Ukraine. The initiatives function as communities of practice that provide free online foreign language instruction to people in crisis (predominantly Ukrainian refugees). We conducted an online survey in a subset of language instructors (N = 75) and participating people in crisis (N = 102) with the goals 1) to assess the effectiveness of provided language instruction, 2) to gain a better understanding of the participating learners’ and teachers’ experiences and attitudes towards their learning and teaching, respectively, 3) to identify the main challenges and issues that learners and teachers face while participating in the projects, and 4) to gauge the viability of these and similar volunteer-based language projects for people in crisis and refugees in the future. The survey revealed a significant improvement in proficiency and motivation of participating people in crisis to learn a new language. Additionally, participating in the projects was associated with overall positive emotional and psychological benefits, for both learners and teachers. Among the most common issues related to learning and teaching in the context of the projects were student absenteeism and attrition, work balance, and teacher training. Overall, the study revealed interesting insights about perceived attitudes towards learning and teaching in students and instructors, respectively. It may be of interest to educators, language instructors and policymakers working with refugee groups and people in crisis.
The psycholinguistics of propaganda: mechanisms of subjugation and how to challenge them
Authors: Isacoff Nora M.
Published: January 2023

This paper reviews current research on the oppressive and dehumanizing use of language by those in political power to promote essentialist thought about oppositional groups, including during the war in Ukraine. Essentialism is the implicit belief that categories of people–those of certain ethnicities or nationalities, for example–have intrinsic, immutable properties, driven by some deep, unobservable, and often deterministic causal essence. There is robust evidence that cross-culturally, both young children and adults sometimes employ an essentialist heuristic when reasoning about cultural traits, and that they see others’ traits as being less mutable than their own. Strikingly, though, cultures vary drastically in the particulars and extent of this cultural essentialism. Thus, it seems clear that cultural input can to some degree either exploit or overwrite a tendency toward cultural essentialism, with language being an especially powerful mechanism. In this paper, I demonstrate ways that language is intentionally used by those with political power to promote essentialist thought and to justify violence. In particular, I highlight use of generic language, ascriptive definitions, and the language of opposites within propaganda. I end with consideration of ways to be responsive to instances of propaganda within our own communities and as global citizens, such as through pro-social repurposing of the linguistic tools that have been used destructively, promoting nuance through the use of differentiated language, and by capitalizing on an intuitive human belief in essential goodness and desire for truth.
Topic modelling and emotion analysis of the tweets of British and American politicians on the topic of war in Ukraine
Authors: Karpina Olena , Chen Justin
Published: January 2023

This paper focuses on the content and emotive features of four politicians' posts that were published on their official Twitter accounts during the three-month period of the russian invasion of Ukraine. We selected two British politicians – Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister of the UK, and Yvette Cooper, the Labour MP and Shadow Home Secretary of the State for the Home Department – as well as two American politicians, President Joe Biden and Republican senator Marco Rubio. In the first phase, we identified the most frequent lexical tokens used by the politicians to inform the world community about the war in Ukraine. For this purpose, we used Voyant Tools, a web-based application for text analysis. These tokens were divided into three groups according to the level of their frequency. Additionally, we measured the distribution of the most frequent lexical tokens across the three-month time span. In the next phase, we analysed the context of the identified lexical tokens, thereby outlining the subject of the tweets. To do this, we extracted collocations using the Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) library. During the final phase of the research, we performed topic modelling using the Gibbs Sampling algorithm for the Dirichlet Multinomial Mixture model (GSDMM) and emotion analysis using the NRC Lexicon library.
From conflict of discourses to military conflict: multimodality of identity construction in Russo-Ukrainian war discourse
Authors: Ushchyna Valentyna
Published: January 2023

This study is an attempt to grasp the discursive nature of Russo-Ukrainian war. The critical discourse analysis of the conflicting ways  Russian and Ukrainian identities are constructed in discourse and by discourse can shed light onto the covert reasons of the unprovoked military aggression Russia has been executing against Ukraine. Our assumptions are based on the idea that identity is a manifold of stances taken by individual as well as collective speakers in various situations of communication. Having epistemic and affective dimensions, stances are inherently interactive, and, thus, have a collective or social nature. Generally speaking, conflictual stances, built in war discourse, express national, political, or sociological worldviews of the stance-takers, reflecting their ideologies, values, and beliefs. The way people see the conflict differs according to what "frames" they choose to see it through. In this study, the frames circumscribing Ukrainian and Russian conflictual identities, as they are built in Ukrainian and Russian media discourse, including social media, have been deconstructed and analyzed. As there are diverse semiotic systems that are used to create, transmit and understand meanings (e.g., verbal and non-verbal, written and oral, visual and audial) various modalities employed in the process of discursive construction of these identities were taken into consideration.
Estilo de afrontamiento en cuidadoras primarias de niños con ceguera. Aplicación en población hidalguense
Authors: García López Angélica Janneire , Orozco Ramírez Luz Adriana , Rojas Vite Gerardo
Published: January 2023

El siguiente estudio deriva de una investigación dirigida a cuidadoras primarias de menores con ceguera congénita con el objetivo de conocer el tipo de afrontamiento y estrategias más utilizadas en el cuidado del infante a su cargo. La muestra estuvo conformada por N=5 mujeres, pertenecientes a una Fundación para niños y niñas con ceguera del estado de Hidalgo, México. Se usó la escala de afrontamiento al estrés (CAE) de González y Landero (2007) para medir las estrategias de afrontamiento más usadas por las cuidadoras. Se observa que las participantes tienen mayor prevalencia en la focalización centrada en la solución en el problema (FSP) y la reevaluación positiva (REP). Se concluye que las cuidadoras primarias de menores con ceguera congénita desarrollan un estilo de afrontamiento adaptativo de acuerdo a sus condiciones sociales y contextuales.
En busca de un cambio en quienes ejercen violencia de género
Authors: Payarola Mario Andrés
Published: January 2023

Durante los últimos años se han efectuado diversos cuestionamientos a los programas de intervención con varones que ejercen violencia, tanto desde su formato como también desde la ideología que sustentan. Este trabajo no pretende ser una revisión exhaustiva ni polemizar respecto de los cuestionamientos mencionados. Simplemente deseamos exponer de una manera didáctica, tres modelos de intervención y la teoría del cambio que sustentan,la que muchas veces se da por supuesta, pero no siempre se explicita. Los primeros dos modelos son ampliamente conocidos. El tercero, es un modelo integrativo al cual adhieren los integrantes de nuestra Red de equipos de trabajo y estudio en masculinidades (RETEM) en la Argentina, que hemos denominado “psico-socio-educativo”. Quisiéramos darlo a conocer a la comunidad académica como también a algunos funcionarios de nuestro país quienes aún desconocen los alcances de nuestras intervenciones, exponiendo sus principales características.
