Resistance Against Beauty Standards Stereotypes and Representation of Women’s Beauty Through BLP Beauty Advertisement
Authors: Tanca Jhenika Tiara
Published: February 2024

Advertising is a medium for conveying persuasive messages to promote a product or brand. Many advertisers strive to find interesting concepts to capture the audience's attention. The use of beautiful women in advertisements, especially in cosmetic ads, is a common occurrence. Eventually, these ads construct a media representation that reinforces stereotypes of women's beauty standards. One of the cosmetic advertisements that will be the subject of this research is the BLP Beauty #BLPMainCharacter ad on the official Instagram account @blpbeauty, uploaded from May 8, 2023, to May 12, 2023. This research aims to understand how BLP Beauty offers their cosmetic products for women who want to enhance their beauty without conforming to existing beauty stereotypes. The research method used is qualitative descriptive with semiotic analysis by Roland Barthes. Semiotics is the study of signs within a text. The signs in the text are considered to have denotative meaning (dictionary meaning) and connotative meaning (dual meaning born from cultural and personal experiences). This research positions BLP Beauty advertisements as a text that will be analyzed to uncover the true meanings behind the signs contained within the ads. The results of this research analysis explain that BLP Beauty resists the standard beauty stereotypes by introducing a new concept in representing women's beauty. The resistance in this research is a form of opposition or rejection of stereotypes or inequalities related to women's beauty standards. BLP Beauty emphasizes that beauty in women goes beyond physical attributes like fair skin, slim bodies, straight hair, and various other beauty stereotypes but is unique to each woman. This is demonstrated through the selection of models who defy the conventional description of beauty in society. BLP Beauty boldly chooses models with larger bodies, darker skin, chubby faces, and various criteria that oppose the stereotype of beautiful women in society. BLP Beauty emphasizes that all women are beautiful in their uniqueness. It is hoped that this resistance movement can be the beginning of a revolution for women in the advertising world and will broaden society's perspective on the definition of women's beauty.

Published: February 2024

This research discusses the application of electoral district structuring principles and Islamic political principles in the formation of North Sumatra Province DPRD Electoral Districts in the 2024 Election. Using qualitative research methods, normative approaches, and Miles and Huberman's interactive data analysis model. This research investigates the extent to which these principles are reflected in the determination of electoral districts. The results of the research show that the principle of equal vote value and the principle of proportionality has not been fully accommodated in the Determination of Electoral Districts for the DPRD of North Sumatra Province for the 2024 Election, based on the Principles of Electoral District Arrangement. According to the perspective of Islamic political principles such as obedience, justice, and equality (al-musawah), they cannot be fully applied in determining electoral districts. Further analysis reveals that the main factor causing the non-implementation of these principles is political influence in determining electoral districts for the DPR and Provincial DPRD in the 2024 Election. This research makes an important contribution to understanding the challenges and obstacles faced in realizing the democratic and political principles of Islam in the context of regional elections. The implications of these findings emphasize the need for reform to increase the value of voting representation and proportionality, in line with Islamic political principles. Practical recommendations involve policy reform and tighter oversight to reduce detrimental political influences. It is hoped that these steps will improve the implementation of these principles in future regional election systems.

Pyotr Kireyevsky’s European letters in a literary-epistolary context
Authors: Kuzmina M. D.
Published: February 2024

During his visit to Germany in 1829–1830, Pyotr Kireyevsky wrote lengthy accounts to his family back in Russia, detailing the conspicuous qualities of European lifestyle as well as his personal attitude to, and experience of, such mode of living. His letters supply the readers with a guide for a virtual tour of Europe. In many ways, Kireyevsky’s letters invoke the influential pretext of Russian travelogues: N. Karamzin’s Letters of a Russian Traveller [Pisma russkogo puteshestvennika]. However, Kireyevsky does not target a large audience, nor does he try to educate his readers or preach Europeism. His older brother Ivan, who followed Pyotr to Europe, would keep his letters to the family brief and rather unsystematic, choosing to focus on his personal judgements and impressions. It seems that, without Pyotr’s letters, it would be nearly impossible to make sense of those epistles or get a good idea of Ivan’s life abroad. Meanwhile, it was Pyotr’s letters that displeased his loved ones. Apparently, the family considered them too good, too ‘correct,’ and, therefore, ‘impersonal.’ They felt that Pyotr’s character was missing from them, which hindered an open and sincere dialogue.

Published: February 2024

Research on creativity is a common topic today, with a strong psychological component influencing its definition. This research takes the definition of creative learning from the theory of subjectivity, which is a strand of the cultural-historical approach. However, few studies have defined creativity in the field of computer science and even fewer have addressed learning in this field. This paper aims to diagnose creative learning in computer science in a computer engineering course at the University of Matanzas. In order to achieve this objective, creative learning is first established as an expression of creativity in learning. Then, it is described as a fundamental form of computer activity and, finally, creative learning in computer science is defined. A questionnaire was used to diagnose creative learning in computing. The questionnaire will be administered to 66 final year students enrolled in the academic year 2022. The indicators obtained in the theoretical section will be measured on a scale from 0 to 1. The study will first compare the data obtained through qualitative state inference, followed by the application of inferential statistical methods to further analyse the results. From the results, creative learning in computer science will be assessed and it will be found that it is generally poor. Based on the data, the hypothesis is rejected and the level of development of creative learning in computing is found to be low.
Staunch the Age Related Decline into Dementia, Cancer, Autoimmunity (POTS), Obesity, and Other Diseases with a Prebiotic, Probiotic, Postbiotic Triple Play
Authors: Chambers Patrick
Published: February 2024

“All diseases originate in the gut.” Hippocrates (400 BC)

A healthy gut microbiome via the gut-brain-axis (GBA) elevates heart rate variability (HRV), a general measure of health and well-being. A dysbiotic gut microbiome, low in biodiversity and butyrate producers, alters tryptophan metabolism with release of proinflammatory cytokines, predominantly TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β. These also characterize chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and a multitude of diseases, all exhibiting low HRV. Gut dysbiosis upregulates IFN-γ and with it IDO (indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase). Tryptophan pivots from serotonin synthesis to that of IDO induced kynurenine, increasing the kynurenine to tryptophan ratio (KTR). An elevated KTR is positively linked to neurodegenerative and autoimmune diseases and negatively linked to HRV. Elevated IDO activity is not only enzymatic but also an intracellular signal transducer potentiated by TGF-β. This cytokine is the primary determinant of the TME. Also proposed is the gut-lung dysbiosis concept and consequent degradation of ACE2 (richest in lungs and gut). Leaky gut induced autoantibodies related to G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) in combination with increased Ang II further potentiate oxidative stress. Aldosterone and paroxysmal orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) paradoxes are highlighted in the context of GPCR and gut dysbiosis, and the role of Candida is explored. The triple play of a prebiotic (d-mannose), probiotic (bifidobacteria and lactobacilli), and postbiotic (butyrate) might improve intestinal barrier integrity, oppose entry of GPCR antigens, suppress the inflammatory cytokine triad, balance IFN-γ and TGF-β, suppress oxidative stress, depress KTR, elevate HRV, and extend lifespan and its quality.
Religious Anti-euthanasia Attitudes — Authoritarianism and Age as Serial Mediators
Authors: Grigoropoulos Iraklis
Published: February 2024

Given the link between religiosity and anti-euthanasia attitudes, the current study examined possible factors that could mediate the association between the two constructs. Thus, this study proceeded a step further, examining the contribution of authoritarianism and socio-cultural characteristics (i.e., age, gender, political positioning, and educational level) as serial mediators in the relationship between religiosity and anti-euthanasia attitudes. A sample of 236 (196 female) individuals participated in the study. Data were collected between August and November 2022. The associations between the variables were assessed using Pearson correlation analysis. Multiple regression analysis was performed to develop predictive models for euthanasia attitudes and PROCESS macro (Model 6) for the chain mediation tests with Bootstrap analysis. This study’s results show that religiosity and anti-euthanasia attitudes are related, and their relationship is mediated by two serial mediators: right-wing authoritarianism and age. Alternative models were also tested to strengthen our model. This study has significant practical implications since it underlines potential factors for intervening at an individual and a societal level to influence euthanasia attitudes.

Violencia política contra las mujeres en México
Authors: Carrera Nava Felizardo
Published: February 2024

La violencia política es una de las principales dificultades que enfrentan las mujeres para ejercer sus derechos político-electorales y se manifiesta en los obstáculos que se les impone para ejercer el derecho a participar en la vida política, por el simple hecho de ser mujeres (en razón de género). A decir verdad, muy pocas mujeres han ocupado cargos públicos en los diferentes niveles de gobierno en México. Una de las causas de su baja participación política ha sido la falta del respaldo de las autoridades e instituciones públicas, pero también la ausencia de consciencia social. La baja participación política de las mujeres afecta la democracia, porque se les limita a expresarse libremente y a participar en las decisiones y los proyectos políticos del país y, al hacerlo, se violentan sus derechos y se genera un ambiente rígido lleno de prejuicios, por lo que las autoridades deben garantizar el principio de paridad de género y proteger los derechos humanos de las mujeres, promoviendo los principios de igualdad, justicia y seguridad. El propósito de este estudio es visibilizar la violencia política que enfrentan las mujeres para generar consciencia en la sociedad acerca de este grave problema en México. Además, se señala la importancia de la nueva reforma “Paridad en todo”, la cual plantea que haya una participación equitativa entre hombres y mujeres en los entes públicos del país.
