Playing with the gamebook: The Final Hours interactive storybooks as playful paratexts
Authors: Glas René
Published: December 2024

This article discusses an interactive storybook series titled The Final Hours which provides behind-the-scenes perspectives on the creation of certain video games. The focus is on how the specific interactive, playful elements which make up the reading – or playing – of these books provide forms of engagement which deviate from more traditional paper-based books on the making-of games. The analysis is situated within ongoing discussions about the role of paratextuality in and around games, in this case focusing on the question how these storybooks give shape to players’ understanding of games and game production through playful interactions with the making-of games. To account for the medium specificity of this type of interactive books, the paratextual analysis also connects to studies on paper-based pop-up or ‘movable’ books, a genre often associated with play, providing not just insights into paratextual functions but also highly ludic form.
‘A happier, healthier you’: Fair Play and the promise of a future self
Authors: Kagen Melissa
Published: December 2024

This article analyses Eve Rodsky’s Fair Play self-help book and card game, a tool designed to re-allocate domestic work more equitably for a stereotypical heterosexual American couple. I situate Rodsky’s work within three contexts: as a transformative role-playing game, as a critique of patriarchy hampered by its white feminist and gender essentialist biases, and as a self-help project offering its players a kind of fantasy play: the dream of their happier selves.
The dragon caught in amber: Greyhawk novels as narrative adaptations of adventure modules
Authors: Särkijärvi Jukka , Juntunen Hanne
Published: December 2024

Both role-playing game tie-in novels and adventure modules are little-studied and under-theorized topics. Whereas a tabletop role-playing game as a medium is participatory, interactive and narratively open-ended, the novel presents a fixed narrative. When a module is adapted into a novel, this forms a certain tension. This article examines the novels The Temple of Elemental Evil () and White Plume Mountain (), adapted from modules of the same names, and the ways that they engage in dialogue with the original texts, as well as how they form a part of the greater realized world of Dungeons & Dragons. These ways include cartographic storytelling and the logic of unfolding () in how the mapped areas of the module are presented to the novel’s reader, as well as the palimpsest, the doubled pleasure () of experiencing two texts simultaneously.
Designing a good story for better policies: Entrepreneurship at the crossroads of AI-powered visual storytelling and sensemaking
Authors: Behar Villegas Erick , Goh Zhen , Horowitt Gregory Scott
Published: December 2024

Sensemaking and AI image generators can contribute as visual storytelling tools to a better comprehension of the life-worlds of entrepreneurs in policymaking. There is doubt about whether policymakers productively understand entrepreneurial realities for the sake of implementing decisions that help startups. Using entrepreneurial journeys of 18 startups in six countries, weak-signal triads and image prompts were derived from shared stories in order to visualize entrepreneurial realities. The advantage of visual storytelling materializes in the cognitive ease that narrative schemas yield. Results indicate that AI generated visuals, e.g. storyboards, depict compelling realities regarding story elements such as character and setting clearly, yet they hardly illustrate the dynamics thereof (e.g. conflict resolution), while triads help understand entrepreneurial priorities. The project showcases the potential of tech-driven visualization, suggesting that visual arts can help the public understand untold stories that drive, among others, entrepreneurial solutions, provided that the dynamics be presented clearly.
A review of caveats and future considerations of research on responsible AI across disciplines
Authors: Memarian Bahar , Doleck Tenzin
Published: December 2024

Research on responsible AI has boomed over the past few years. Yet, an understanding of the responsible AI research across primary disciplines is missing in the literature. Through a review of 1224 studies across 7 databases, a total of 177 studies were included for a review of responsible AI across the areas of Business, Engineering, Governance, Health, Science, and Social Science. Using grounded theory and axial and open coding, we extracted and summarized areas, principles, research designs, challenges, findings, and trends in responsible AI research across the emerging areas. The contribution of this work is presenting the caveats and future considerations of research on responsible AI holistically and across primary disciplines in higher education.
Collaborative development on a digital learning platform: The potential of AI tools for facilitation
Authors: Kurki Anna-Leena , Koskela Inka , Yli-Kaitala Kirsi
Published: December 2024

Digital learning platforms featuring artificial intelligence (AI)-based tools are being increasingly used at workplaces. This study investigated the opportunities that AI tools offer for facilitating the collaborative development of work on a learning platform called Howspace. The data comprised interviews with platform developers (n=4) and facilitators (n=10). Content analysis explored the interviewees’ conceptions of the use of AI tools in collaborative development. It identified four AI tool functions—task assistant, participant assistant, process assistant, and interaction assistant—along with their associated benefits and limitations. Platform developers saw more opportunities for the use of AI tools, whereas the facilitators saw more challenges. These challenges were primarily related to the facilitators’ limited understanding of the algorithms' logic. The study proposes that enhancing the transparency of algorithms could improve the usability of AI tools. A better understanding of algorithmic operations could mitigate the identified challenges, and improve facilitators' experience of employing AI tools.

Published: December 2024

Purpose: This study examines patients' perspectives on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology through focus groups, aiming to identify the main issues and areas for improvement. It is part of a larger research project that employs various methodologies to explore the views of both patients and radiologists regarding AI tools. Methods: We conducted two focus groups using a narrative story and vignettes: one with patients who self-assessed as AI experts and the other with non-AI experts. Results: The focus groups revealed diverse opinions on AI use in diagnostics, focusing on six main topics: acceptance, concerns, communication between radiologists and patients, explainability of AI, medical records, and emotional aspects. Conclusions: The findings underscore the importance of developing patient-centric AI solutions to build trust in AI-assisted diagnostic tools, considering emotional and communicational aspects and addressing both physician and patient concerns to facilitate smoother integration of AI in radiology.
Pavement condition detection using acceleration data collected by smartphones based on 1D convolutional neural network
Authors: Han Yudong , Li Zhaobo , Li Jiaqi
Published: December 2024

Vibration-based pavement condition detection methods have advanced in recent years, and it has been proven to be feasible to identify pavement conditions by analysing acceleration data. In this study, a public participation solution is proposed, and a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN) is introduced to directly process acceleration signals, addressing the limitations of traditional machine-learning classification methods. In this study, a smartphone and bicycle were used as the experimental tools, and 422 samples of acceleration data across the X-, Y-, and Z-axes were collected, including four types of pavement conditions: bumpy pavement, speed bumps, smooth pavement, and potholes. Five types of 1D-CNN with different activation functions and network structures were designed to classify the data and were compared with machine learning algorithms, including support vector machine (SVM) and radial basis function (RBF) neural networks. The results show that a 1D-CNN, with three convolution layers and three pooling layers using the ReLU activation function, achieved the best classification performance, with a classification accuracy of 0.9976. Compared with SVM and RBF neural networks, CNN not only saves considerable time by eliminating manual feature extraction operations but also provides higher classification accuracy.
A Case of Transduodenal Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy of an Appendiceal Lesion
Authors: Khan Nihal Ijaz , Abbasi Abdullah , Chandan Saurabh , Pathak Sagar , Singh Charanjeet , Hasan Muhammad K.
Published: December 2024

Vermiform appendiceal cancers are rare and commonly diagnosed incidentally after appendectomy for acute appendicitis. Establishing a diagnosis and staging appendiceal cancer is important as the treatment options differ based on the subtypes of tumor and their spread in the peritoneum. The role of endosonography in tissue diagnosis of appendiceal cancer is limited. Most cases are diagnosed and staged radiologically and surgically. Tissue diagnosis is key in management, especially when diagnosis is unclear by other modalities. We report a case of transduodenal endoscopic ultrasound-guided biopsy of an appendiceal lesion, which had significant impact on patient outcome.
Dynamic Changes of Active Components in Greengage (Prunus mume) Wine During Fermentation
Authors: Wang Yan , Zhang Yuxin , Cao Pengliang , Chen Pengfei , Chen Xianggui , Tandhanskul Atittaya
Published: December 2024

Greengage wine is abundant in functional active ingredients, such as phenolics, which interact with proteins to induce turbidity. Therefore, understanding the dynamic changes during fermentation is essential for controlling the quality of greengage wine. In this study, the production process of four different greengage wines was designed by cross-fermentation of two yeasts and two enzyme preparations. The results indicated that variations in alcohol content, reducing sugars, pH, and soluble solids were primarily associated with the selected fermentation microorganisms. However, no significant differences were observed among the four processes. Notably, protein content varied significantly, reaching up to 142.82 ± 20.90 mg·L⁻1. The total phenol content exhibited a downward trend and ultimately stabilized at approximately 388.92 ± 2.39 mg/L. Conversely, total flavonoid content initially increased before experiencing a slight decline, thus indicating that the fermentation process had a substantial impact on its levels. Tannin content remained relatively stable throughout fermentation. Analysis of monomeric phenols revealed that greengage wine contained 14 common monomeric phenols, with chlorogenic acid being present at the highest concentration. Antioxidant activity in greengage wine continued to rise during the early stage of fermentation, peaking on day six before subsequently declining thereafter. These findings provide valuable insights for the further development of greengage wine.
Investigations on the performance of a single-cylinder diesel engine powered by biodiesel derived from palm oil and antioxidant additives
Authors: Pandian Balu , Harigaran Arumugam
Published: December 2024

Fossil fuel supplies are being depleted and environmental pollution is increasing due to the transportation and industry sectors' growing intensification. Biodiesel is a cheap, abundant, and environmentally beneficial fuel source that may be used. This study aims to reduce pollution in diesel engines by adding L-ascorbic acid, an antioxidant, to palm oil biodiesel (PB20, 20% palm biodiesel + 80% diesel). Solvent extraction was used to obtain palm oil from the discarded palm. Alkali transesterification was used to turn palm oil into biodiesel. Fuel samples consisting of 90% biodiesel + 10% L-ascorbic acid (PB20L10) and 95% biodiesel + 5% L-ascorbic acid (PB20L5) are created with varying percentages of antioxidant ingredient added to the biodiesel. The results of the experimental study show that, in comparison to diesel fuel and PB20, the oxides of nitrogen emissions from PB20L5 and PB20L10 are much lower. The brake thermal efficiency (BTE) is also reduced with an antioxidant added to biodiesel in comparison with PB20. Additionally, PB20 emissions increased modestly when antioxidant ingredient was added.
Molecular detection of honey bee viruses in an Osmia bicornis population in the Czech Republic and their prevalence in the proximity of commercial hives

Published: December 2024

The global decline in pollinators, particularly honeybees (Apis mellifera) and solitary bees such as Osmia bicornis, has raised significant concerns due to the increasing threats from environmental stressors and pathogen spillover. This study aimed to detect the presence of honeybee-associated viruses in an O. bicornis population in the Czech Republic and investigate the potential for viral transmission between A. mellifera and O. bicornis. Molecular techniques were used to determine the presence of five common viruses: Deformed Wing Virus (DWV), Acute Bee Paralysis Virus (ABPV), Black Queen Cell Virus (BQCV), Lake Sinai Virus (LSV) and Apis mellifera Filamentous Virus (AmFV). Sampling was done at two locations: an apiary where O. bicornis coexisted with A. mellifera and a remote site without commercial hives. The results confirmed the presence of all five viruses in O. bicornis at the apiary, while only BQCV and DWV were consistently detected in bees from the remote site. Interestingly, the viral load at the apiary increased over time, particularly, that of ABPV and DWV, indicating that proximity to A. mellifera hives facilitates virus transmission to O. bicornis. Moreover, the presence of virus was confirmed in all developmental stages of O. bicornis, from larvae to adults, indicating potential for vertical transmission. Despite high viral incidence, no visible morphological deformities were observed in O. bicornis, indicating that these viruses may exist asymptomatically in solitary bees. These findings underscore the risks posed by managed bee populations to wild pollinators and the need for further investigations into the ecological effect of viral spillover.

Published: December 2024

The Bohemian Forest spans the borders of Bavaria, Czechia and Upper Austria, and is important for studying forest biodiversity in central European mountain ecosystems. This study focuses on assessing the patterns in biodiversity in the Šumava National Park. Species richness, Shannon diversity index, evenness and dominance were determined for 117 forest plots (large sample) and a subsample of 49 plots (small sample) using comprehensive monitoring techniques within the Silva Gabreta project, a cross-border initiative implemented together with the Bavarian Forest National Park. Data were collected for the following taxonomic groups: plants, fungi, mammals and invertebrates, using a variety of trapping methods and survey techniques. Results indicate significant differences in the number of species in the different taxonomic groups, with Lepidoptera, fungi and Bryophyta with the highest species richness and diversity, whereas groups such as Neuroptera, Curculionidae and mammals had lower values. Although most biodiversity indicators were not significantly different between the large and the small sample at the taxonomic level, species richness and Shannon diversity were higher in the small sample. This may be attributed to the trapping methods used in those plots, which are likely to have resulted in more complete captures of the species than in the plots of the large sample. The findings indicate that 49 plots are a suitable number for long-term biodiversity monitoring, provided key plots with efficient trapping setups are included. This study highlights the importance of careful plot selection and suggests that a mixed monitoring strategy, incorporating both broad taxonomic assessments and targeted approaches for specific taxa, may be the most effective for monitoring biodiversity.

Postrzeganie prawa na przykładzie instytucji scalania gruntów rolnych
Authors: Truszkiewicz Zygmunt
Published: December 2024

Postrzeganie właściwości i roli prawa ma zasadniczy wpływ na jego oddziaływanie na relacje społeczne o doniosłości prawnej. Przekłada się ono również na mniejszą lub większą aktywność organów stosujących prawo. W państwach o systemach prawnych zaliczanych do civil law obraz prawa jest kształtowany głównie przez doktrynę, w mniejszym stopniu przez judykaturę, natomiast w krajach common law – odwrotnie, głównie przez orzecznictwo. To odmienne postrzeganie prawa ma praktyczne znaczenie. Nie pozostaje bowiem bez wpływu na mechanizmy działania prawa. Spojrzenie na prawo przez pryzmat okoliczności konkretnego przypadku, zwłaszcza zaliczanych do hard cases, pozwala bowiem ostrzej widzieć właściwości prawa, w tym zależności między konkretyzowaniem treści norm prawnych a uwarunkowaniami społeczno-gospodarczymi i politycznymi. Sprawą o ogromnej doniosłości społecznej, a zarazem złożoności prawnej jest postępowanie scaleniowe, zwłaszcza trwające kilkadziesiąt lat. W kontekście tego rodzaju spraw doskonale widać, że przepisy nie mogą być utożsamiane z prawem, że mogą być tylko punktem wyjścia do poszukiwania właściwych norm prawnych niezbędnych do osądzania konkretnych przypadków, a tym samym jak doniosła może być w tym wymiarze rola organu stosującego prawo z założeniem celu skonkretyzowania sprawiedliwych i słusznych norm prawnych.
Opodatkowanie zużycia pestycydów jako narzędzie realizacji celów Wspólnej Polityki Rolnej – model duński
Authors: Bieluk Jerzy
Published: December 2024

Dania zaczęła wdrażać mechanizmy podatkowe mające na celu ograniczenie stosowania pestycydów już w latach 80. Ostatnia reforma z 2013 r. znacząco zwiększyła obciążenia podatkowe i powiązała stawki podatkowe z poziomem szkodliwości danego środka stosowanego w produkcji rolnej oraz jego negatywnym wpływem na środowisko i zdrowie ludzi. Rozwiązanie to okazało się skuteczne i doprowadziło do znacznego ograniczenia stosowania pestycydów. To duńskie doświadczenie pokazuje z jednej strony, że osiągnięcie redukcji stosowania pestycydów w rolnictwie nie jest procesem łatwym i wymaga jednoczesnego stosowania rozwiązań mających na celu uzyskanie akceptacji społecznej, a z drugiej strony – że dobrze uregulowany system podatkowy może być doskonałym narzędziem do osiągania społecznie pożądanych celów, w tym znacznej redukcji stosowania najbardziej szkodliwych pestycydów i znacznej redukcji stosowania tych mniej szkodliwych. Jednak w krajach, które nie stosują opodatkowania mającego na celu ograniczenie stosowania pestycydów, to społeczeństwo ponosi koszty zewnętrzne stosowania środków ochrony roślin, które obejmują utratę różnorodności biologicznej czy zanieczyszczenie wody pitnej lub gleby itp.
Polskie struktury agrarne w perspektywie 20 lat Wspólnej Polityki Rolnej
Authors: Jeżyńska Beata
Published: December 2024

Przystąpienie Polski do Unii Europejskiej w 2004 r. stało się akceleratorem procesów transformacyjnych, zwłaszcza strukturalnych. Głównym czynnikiem transformacji był napływ środków pomocowych w ramach II filaru Wspólnej Polityki Rolnej. Przedstawiona w artykule analiza prawna obejmuje przemiany strukturalne w perspektywie 20 lat funkcjonowania Wspólnej Polityki Rolnej w Polsce. Głównym celem badawczym była ocena aktualnego stanu prawnego struktur agrarnych. Przeprowadzona analiza doprowadziła do wniosku, że generalnie kierunek zmian struktury gospodarstw rolnych w Polsce jest zgodny z obserwowanym w krajach o wyższym poziomie rolnictwa. Tempo tych przemian jest jednak zbyt wolne, aby oczekiwać szybkiego niwelowania istniejących różnic i wynikającej z tego poprawy konkurencyjności. Pożądane zmiany w strukturze obszarowej gospodarstw rolnych w Polsce wymagają zmian w obowiązujących regulacjach prawnych. Pilnej zmiany wymagają także regulacje dotyczące dzierżawy rolniczej oraz systemu finansowania i alokacji środków.
Legal aspects of ensuring the safety of water as a foodstuff
Authors: Leśkiewicz Katarzyna
Published: December 2024

The purpose of the discussion is to determine the relationship of the regulation of the right to water with the requirements of its safety for health and life against the background of the concepts of food safety and food security. The author comes to the conclusion that due to the presence of a requirement to guarantee availability of water in general, which is contained in the requirements of drinking water, there exists a link between the regulation of water safety and its availability in different perspectives that may be described as a relationship of dominance or even superiority of the right to water over the regulation of the safety of water as a product. Keeping in mind the nature of the obligations of the Member States regarding the implementation of EU directives articulated in the case law of the Court of Justice, the right to water should be a matter of result.
Energy-variational solutions for viscoelastic fluid models
Authors: Agosti Abramo , Lasarzik Robert , Rocca Elisabetta
Published: December 2024

In this article, we introduce the concept of energy-variational solutions for a class of nonlinear dissipative evolutionary equations, which turns out to be especially suited to treat viscoelastic fluid models. Under certain convexity assumptions, the existence of such solutions can be shown constructively by an adapted minimizing movement scheme in a general framework. Weak-strong uniqueness follows by a suitable relative energy inequality. Our main motivation is to apply the general framework to viscoelastic fluid models. Therefore, we give a short overview on different versions of such models and their derivation. The abstract result is applied to two of these viscoelastic fluid models in full detail. In the conclusion, we comment on further applications of the general theory and its possible impact.
Revisiting Hittite prayer lexicon: a focus on heteroclitic nouns and light verb constructions
Authors: Fagiolo Virna
Published: December 2024

This paper focuses on the Hittite prayer lexicon, with particular regard to deverbal forms derived with the suffixes -(a̅)tar, -eššar, and -war (-mar) from different verbs (i.e., arkuwai- ‘plead, argue’, mald- ‘declaim, recite’, mugai- ‘invoke’, talliya- ‘summon’, walliya- ‘praise’, wek- ‘wish, ask’). The aim of this work is to analyse the semantics of the verbal nouns for ‘prayer’ to identify possible semantic distinctions among these forms. In addition, the light verb constructions of these verbal nouns, with the verb iya- ‘do, make’ and its iterative form ešša-, are examined, comparing them with the corresponding synthetic forms, to detect similarities and differences in the use of these verbal constructions.
Effect of bentonite and molasses binder content on physical and mechanical properties of green and fired mill scale pellets
Authors: Barik Jayram , Chaira Debasis
Published: December 2024

The present research reports the effect of binder addition on the physical and mechanical properties of green and fired mill scale pellets. A mixture of mill scale powder and varying weight percentage of bentonite (1, 1.5 and 2 wt.%) and molasses (2.5, 5 and 7.5 wt.%) binders were used separately to prepare green mill scale pellets by hand rolling to form spherical balls of diameter around 10 mm and then fired at 1,100 °C for 1 h. It was observed that the moisture content in pellets made with the addition of bentonite was found in the range of (6.16–6.70 wt.%) which was higher compared to those made with the addition of molasses (2.40–4.18 wt.%). A drop number in the range of (1.33–5.33) and (20.33–47.67) were observed for bentonite and molasses bonded pellets respectively. The compressive strength for bentonite bonded pellets varied from (633–780) N cm−2 and molasses bonded pellets it ranged from (179–213) N cm−2. X-ray diffraction study revealed the formation of only hematite phase after sintering at 1,100 °C.
Civil Society in Transition: The Case of Germany in the Field of Education
Authors: Priemer Jana
Published: December 2024

The field of education has undergone a profound transformation in recent decades due to shifts in public governance in numerous Western countries. This transformation has been particularly evident in the realm of civil society organizations (CSOs) operating in the education sector. This article illustrates this phenomenon in the context of Germany, where education has evolved into a quantitatively significant and highly diversified field of CSO activities within a relatively brief period of three decades. The study is based on the theoretical assumption that the flourishing of CSOs depends on conditions set by the government. It follows that changing educational governance has led not only to the prospering of civil society but also to structural changes of CSOs in the field of education. Therefore, it outlines the main developments in educational governance in Germany that resulted in increased collaboration between CSOs and schools. Analyses of a dataset of 6,334 German CSOs demonstrate that the field of CSOs in education is currently pluralized and diverse, comprising service providers, support organizations, and advocacy organizations. New collaborations between CSOs and the state result in the adaptation of these organizations to new tasks and professionalization. Nevertheless, CSOs representing a novel type of civil society actor have also emerged. This article contributes to a broader discussion of structural change in civil society in the context of new public governance.
Spaces of Afrofuturism
Authors: Manoudakis Georgios
Published: December 2024

This paper explores Afrofuturism as a significant artistic and political movement, examining it as a platform for expressing the voices of a repressed population within the global context. Using the African American jazz musician Sun Ra as a case study, the paper illustrates how Afrofuturism challenges societal norms and redefines Black identity and agency. The paper also investigates the relevance of Afrofuturism beyond African American communities. Through heightened “infrapolitical” tactics – such as dismissal, evasion, escapism, and the reimagining of oppressive histories – Afrofuturism provides a safe haven for marginalized voices. In conclusion, this paper posits that Afrofuturism is a powerful tool for envisioning and shaping the futures of Black communities worldwide. By embracing speculative, mystical, artistic, and exploratory narratives, while rejecting oppressive histories, Afrofuturism cultivates the potential for more inclusive and empowered futures for Black individuals.

Authors: Puljar D’Alessio Sanja
Published: December 2024

The paper delves into artistic representations of the complex relationship between humans and plants, drawing on recent research in the fields of the humanities and botanical sciences. It emphasizes that science and art, while different languages, complement each other and together provide a more comprehensive view of the world. The artworks by Igor Eškinja, Vitar Drinković, SofijaSilvia, and Ana Belošević are analyzed in terms of the narratives they present, the social critique they offer, and how they express societal and cultural momentum. The paper provides an insight into the interconnectedness of humans and the natural world in contemporary society, as described, interpreted, and facilitated through artistic imagination.
Entre paredes de um aquário: projetos sociais esportivos e a vulnerabilidade como virtualidade
Authors: Gonçalves Arisson Vinícius Landgraf
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo tem por objetivo problematizar os mecanismos de produção de sentido pelos quais iniciativas de governo, como os projetos sociais esportivos (PSE), atribuem a determinadas crianças e jovens a classificação de vulneráveis sociais. Resultado de uma operação ensaística como exercício de pensamento, encaminha a leitura da vulnerabilidade ativada pelos PSE como virtualidade projetada a serviço de estratégias de governo de determinada população. Nesse sentido, a abordagem do vulnerável como virtualidade, sugere, sobretudo, a desnaturalização dessa classificação como a priori de certas iniciativas que tomam o esporte como prerrogativa de salvação e transformação social.
Projeto Pescar como estratégia de moralização de jovens em situação de vulnerabilidade social

Published: December 2024

O artigo tem como objetivo analisar os discursos colocados em movimento por um conjunto de documentos relacionados com o Projeto Pescar, uma iniciativa voltada para a formação profissional de jovens em situação de vulnerabilidade, visando mostrar que seu funcionamento se encontra orientado para a moralização de seus usuários. A investigação foi desenvolvida tomando como lentes teórico-metodológicas os estudos foucaultianos. A partir das análises, foi possível mostrar que o projeto investe em mecanismos disciplinares para a moralização dos sujeitos atendidos pelos cursos ao mesmo tempo em que utiliza uma lógica fundada na governamentalidade neoliberal para dirigir-se aos empresários parceiros.
MAPEAMENTO ARQUEOLÓGICO E PEDOLÓGICO NO VALE DO RIO CAPIVARI, ESTADO DE SANTA CATARINA

Published: December 2024

Resumo:A região sul catarinense oferece uma diversidade ambiental que há milênios vêm possibilitando ao homem diferentes formas de aproveitamento do meio. Essa região é composta por áreas de encostas da Serra Geral e uma planície litorânea, ambos os compartimentos, cobertos por floresta ombrófila densa. Essa configuração vegetal está relacionada aos tipos de solo que recobrem essa região, uma vez que o solo é o responsável pela nutrição das plantas, sejam elas cultivadas ou espontâneas, influenciando muito diretamente na configuração ambiental de determinados espaços. Foi pensando nisso que nos propusemos a desenvolver esse projeto, cujo principal objetivo é o de realizar o cruzamento de dados pedológicos e arqueológicos, a fim de encontrar relações entre a configuração pedológica da região da encosta sul catarinense e as ocupações empreendidas no mesmo espaço durante o período pré-colonial.Abstract: The southern Santa Catarina offers a diverse environment for millennia that have enabled man to different forms of exploitation of the environment. This region consists of areas of slopes of the Serra Geral and a coastal plain, both compartments, covered by dense rainforest. This vegetation is related to soil types that cover this region, since the soil is responsible for the nutrition of plants, either cultivated or spontaneous, directly influencing the configuration of the local environment. Thinking about what we set out to develop this project, whose main objective is to achieve cross-pedological and archaeological data, in order to find relationships between configuration pedological of the south slope of Santa Catarina and occupations undertaken in the same area during the pre-colonial period.

Published: December 2024

Resumo:  O estudo trata de remanescentes faunísticos presentes em sítios arqueológicos da Tradição Guarani e dos ambientes em que os sítios estavam inseridos. Para isto foram comparadas informações publicadas sobre a arqueofauna de 13 sítios da tradição cerâmica Guarani: um de São Paulo, um de Santa Catarina, dez do Rio Grande do Sul e um da Argentina. Há expressiva quantidade de trabalhos publicados tratando principalmente do fabrico ceramista desta população, porém os estudos de vestígios faunísticos de seus assentamentos são raros. O enfoque zooarqueológico da análise de remanescentes faunísticos proporciona conhecimentos sobre padrões de subsistência, de paleoecologia e de formação de sítio. A partir dos dados obtidos sobre a arqueofauna dos sítios foi possível delinear elementos da instalação dessas populações e da exploração dos recursos. Com os resultados fica evidenciada a busca preferencial de recursos em habitats aquáticos e formações florestais. Os dados mostram um padrão de caça seletivo direcionado á mamíferos de porte médio a grande. Com base nos dados e informações ecológicas das espécies identificadas, percebe-se a instalação do assentamento em áreas com formações florestais densas, sempre associadas a corpos hídricos, proporcionando a exploração dos variados ambientes adjacentes à aldeia.Abstract: The study deals with faunal remains found in archaeological sites of the Guarani ceramic tradition and the environments in which the sites are inserted. With this purpose there was compared information published on the arqueofauna of 13 sites of the Guarani ceramic tradition: one from São Paulo, one from Santa Catarina, ten from Rio Grande do Sul and one from Argentina. There is a significant amount of published papers dealing with the ceramic manufacture of the mentioned population, but few studies on the settlement's faunal remains. The zooarcheological focus of the analysis of faunal remains provides insides on subsistence patterns, pale ecology, and site formation. The data obtained from the site’s arqueofauna allowed the outline of elements of these populations' settlement and their exploitation of the natural resources. The results made evident the preferred search for resources in aquatic habitats and forest formations. The data present a vision of a selective hunting pattern directed to mammals of a medium through large size. Based on the data and ecological information of their identified species, one perceives that the settlement was in areas with dense forest formations, always associated with water bodies, enabling the exploration of the varied environments adjacent to the settlement.

Assim, é possível pensar as experiências que originam a memória a partir de uma série de inscrições simbólicas no corpo, compreendidas a partir de um viés psicanalítico e social sem, contudo, desconsiderar o aspecto neurocientífico de gravação das memórias. Parte-se aqui de uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o assunto, na tentativa de evidenciar o aspecto inscritivo da experiência e o caráter eminentemente linguístico do compartilhamento na constituição da identidade em sociedade. Objetiva-se, a partir disto, uma aproximação entre a relação que a sociedade ocidental contemporânea estabelece com o tempo e o lugar do idoso em sociedade.Abstract: The understanding that the development of identity is associated with memory makes possible the realization of the construction of identity that happens parallel to time. This way it's possible to think of the experiences that create the memory as a series of symbolic inscriptions in the body, understood from a psychoanalytic and social point of view, without disregarding the neuroscientific aspects of recording memories. A literature review was done on the topic in an attempt to highlight the bodily aspect of experience and the linguistic sharing of memories in the forming of identity in society. The objective of this was to find an approximation of the relationship that contemporary Western society has established with the time and the place of the elderly in society.
Outcome Bias in Evaluations of Ethical Decisions: Replication and Extensions of Gino, Moore, and Bazerman (2009)
Authors: Aiyer Sriraj , Chan Wing Yan (Florence) , Feldman Gilad
Published: December 2024

Outcome bias is the phenomenon whereby decisions which resulted in positive outcomes are rated more favorably than when the same decisions resulted in negative outcomes, ceteris paribus. We conducted a pre-registered replication of Gino, Moore, and Bazerman (2009) Study 1’s three scenarios (original’s: N = 120) with an extension adding the three scenarios from their Study 2. Our data was collected online with an Amazon Mechanical Turk sample recruited using CloudResearch (N = 402). We tested outcome bias by measuring participants’ ratings of how unethical, punishable, and blameworthy a decision maker’s behavior was in morally grey scenarios. We partially replicated outcome bias in ratings of punishment (original: η2G = .05 [.00, .14]; replication 1-3: η2G = .03 [.01, .11]; replication 4-6: η2G = .11 [.05, .18]) and blame (original: η2G = .12 [.03, .23]; replication 1-3: η2G = .06 [.05, .19]; replication 4-6: η2G = .16 [.08, .23]), but with support for outcome bias in ratings of unethicality in Scenarios 4-6 (η2G = .04 [.01, .08]) but not in Scenarios 1-3 (original: η2G = .06 [.004, .16]; replication: η2G = .00 [.00, .03]). Similarly, we only found support for the target’s finding that ratings of unethicality mediate the relationship between outcome and both perceptions of punishment and blame in Scenarios 4-6. We also added an extension of a control condition and found higher unethicality judgements when a decision resulted in a negative outcome relative to a control condition with no outcome information.

Inflexiones de las voces populares en las novelas "El sueño del señor juez" y "La jaula de los onas", de Carlos Gamerro
Authors: Rogna Juan Ezequiel
Published: December 2024

En este trabajo, señalamos el hecho paradójico según el cual la ficción argentina vino a dar voz a los sujetos subalternos (Spivak, 2003) y reconocemos, en primer lugar, las operaciones efectuadas por Bartolomé Hidalgo y Esteban Echeverría a partir de las posibles interacciones entre los paradigmas culturales “civilizado” y “bárbaro”. Posteriormente, elaboramos un breve excursus teórico y abordamos Una excursión a los indios ranqueles de Lucio V. Mansilla para comprender cómo la obra desarticula los estereotipos establecidos por el “discurso público argentino” (González, 2012) en torno a una otredad de carácter monstruoso. Reconocemos así su inscripción en la “heterodoxia literaria” (Bocco et al, 2023), al tiempo que advertimos la instauración de una nueva “ortodoxia” que, desde principios de este siglo, se ha dedicado a revisar, cuestionar y/o deconstruir los estereotipos y las dinámicas entre otredades forjados por los textos canónicos decimonónicos. En este marco, situamos la obra de Carlos Gamerro y analizamos las inflexiones de las voces populares en sus dos novelas emplazadas en el siglo xix, identificando aquellas operaciones que vuelven sobre la fórmula civilización/barbarie para auscultarla con mayor amplitud y profundidad.
El viaje de "don Qujote" por el mundo: un análisis comparado de dos traducciones al inglés y al chino
Authors: Santander Oliván Mario
Published: December 2024

Don Quijote ha sido traducido a lo largo de la historia a muchas lenguas del mundo, entre las que el inglés y el chino son, además del español, las tres más importantes. En este trabajo se explora mediante un análisis histórico comparativo dos traducciones al inglés, las realizadas por Pierre Antoine Motteux y Edith Grossman, y de dos al chino, la de Yang Jiang y la de Dong Yansheng. Además de examinar de forma independiente sus estrategias de traducción, su comparación nos permite conocer más en profundidad las técnicas utilizadas por los traductores dependiendo de la época y de la lengua de llegada. Mientras Motteux y Yang Jiang se centraron en el lector meta, domesticando Don Quijote para obtener la aprobación de la audiencia, Grossman y Dong Yansheng preservaron en mayor medida el lenguaje de la novela original, con estrategias extranjerizantes del lenguaje.
Entropía y subversión en la obra de Roberto Bolaño y Pedro Lemebel
Authors: Figueroa Díaz Tamara
Published: December 2024

Este estudio se centra en la figura de territorio en fuga que adquiere la escritura en las obras Nocturno de Chile (2000) de Roberto Bolaño y Loco afán. Crónicas de sidario (1996) de Pedro Lemebel, lo cual produce una liberación de ataduras identitarias empezando por el uso del lenguaje, puesto que se encuentra fuera de la circunscripción. Se trata de una estrategia escritural frente a todo lo que represente el poder coercitivo y despótico en la sociedad chilena de los años 70’ y 80’ durante la dictadura militar de Pinochet, y de esta manera legitimar la resistencia a asumir un localismo estático en la narrativa. Por lo tanto, ¿Cómo podemos concebir la desterritorialización y los espacios que incrementan la entropía en la escritura de ambos autores? ¿Cuáles son los cuerpos sediciosos que permiten la reconstrucción del “Yo” en estas obras? Para responder a estas interrogantes, primero nos detendremos en el análisis de los territorios de lucha contra el olvido que genera el caos en Los baches de la memoria, antes de centrarnos en la presencia combativa de los cuerpos irreverentes bajo la opresión evocados por los autores en Entropía y miradas desafiantes.
Geografía literaria y novela policiaca: análisis del espacio urbano en "Valencia Roja", de Ana Martínez Muñoz
Authors: Roselló Verdeguer Jorge
Published: December 2024

La geografía literaria es una disciplina que explora la importancia de los paisajes en las obras literarias. Las ciudades son el escenario donde se desarrollan muchas novelas, en especial las de corte policiaco, ya que sus argumentos se desarrollan en una multiplicidad de espacios en los que confluyen gran cantidad de personajes y situaciones. En este artículo describimos los espacios en los que transcurre Valencia Roja, primera novela de Ana Martínez Muñoz. Estos escenarios se sitúan en la ciudad de Valencia (España) y los analizamos relacionándolos, por un lado, con los distintos personajes que conforman la historia (dónde viven y trabajan, dónde se divierten…) y, por otro, con las investigaciones que realizan un grupo de policías en torno a los delitos relacionados con la industria del sexo y la pornografía, argumento principal de esta novela.
La consideración de la mujer en la mitología griega y la perpeuación de la violencia de género
Authors: Rodríguez Fernández Irene , Rodríguez Santos José María
Published: December 2024

Este artículo examina la representación de la violencia hacia las mujeres en los mitos griegos. A través de un enfoque interdisciplinario que combina la teoría literaria, la antropología y los estudios de género, se analizan mitos que, transmitidos por medio de la tradición cultural, reflejan y perpetúan la violencia de género. Estos mitos no solo son narrativas de su tiempo, sino que también influyen en las actitudes contemporáneas hacia las mujeres, contribuyendo a la normalización de la violencia en nuestra sociedad. Como ejemplo de transferencia cultural en el contexto contemporáneo, se comparan los mitos griegos con la representación de las mujeres en algunas de las obras literarias sobre el narcotráfico de Don Winslow.
Las relaciones interartísticas entre literatura y música
Authors: Suárez Rodríguez Miguel Tomás
Published: December 2024

La música vocal, y específicamente la canción popular, es un sistema en el que se integran dos signos: el musical y el poético-literario o lingüístico. Así pues, el análisis de las relaciones interartísticas entre música y literatura requiere de un enfoque interdisciplinar para dar cuenta de los signos que conforman la canción popular y la manera en la que estos signos se elaboran y significan en relación a su contexto de producción. Por lo tanto, a través de la canción «London Calling», del álbum homónimo de la banda inglesa The Clash, se propone un análisis semiótico y sociológico de la canción popular, recurriendo a una revisión del objeto de estudio y a las relaciones intertextuales que se dan en la convergencia de sus signos literarios y musicales.
Los juegos en los cuentos de Julio Cortázar
Authors: Geng Xiaokun
Published: December 2024

El maestro argentino Julio Cortázar impregna sus obras con elementos lúdicos. Este artículo tiene como objetivo investigar los diferentes niveles de estos elementos, basándose en las teorías de definición y clasificación del juego propuestas por estudiosos como Johan Huizinga y Roger Caillois. Por un lado, se clasifican y se investigan los juegos de diversión presentes en los cuentos de Cortázar, como el ajedrez y el juego de rol, explorando su función en la caracterización de los personajes y en el desarrollo de la trama. Por otro lado, se analizan los recursos literarios lúdicos, como los juegos de palabras y la manipulación innovadora de la estructura narrativa, que desafían las convenciones del idioma y la lógica tradicional de la lectura. Detrás de todo esto se percibe la admiración del autor por el juego como una expresión de la civilización humana, su visión de concebir todo como un juego, tanto en la escritura como en la vida, y su deseo de liberarse y romper todas las normas establecidas.
