Romani Music Collections, the Ruptured Archive, and Epistemic Justice in the United States
Authors: MacMillen Ian
Published: November 2024

Creating collections and archives of genres such as csardas, parallel to holdings of Romantic compositions based on those styles, affords a means for contemporary Romani performance to provoke institutional recognition of Roma’s historical influence on art music. This essay analyzes an instance of such a project at Oberlin College & Conservatory, while also advocating for a rupturing and resuturing of traditional archival data. A Storied People, an online Romani music project bridging collections of musical media and oral histories of csardas musicians in the Hungarian/Slovak Roma community around Cleveland, Ohio, USA, went public-facing in 2019, showcasing a Romani music collector’s donations and work by a Romani activist and historian in Cleveland, Oberlin Library staff and seminar students, and an ethnomusicologist. This article considers how acquiring the collection intervenes in 21st-century Romani music studies, musicological and archival practices, and their interrelations. Rather than having the collection sit for future research and pedagogical purposes, we connected it through two integrated online platforms to streamable, keyword-linked local oral histories relating to the collection’s traditions, performers, and compositions. The resulting online resource makes the music collection and oral histories more meaningful and accessible, at Oberlin and beyond. It thereby ruptures the collection, suturing its material resources to new musical performances and storytelling before it has a chance to reify into an institutionally contained unit. Addressing the sociopolitical context of this work and Roma’s ambiguous status within American epistemologies of race and ethnicity, the article analyses the successes and limitations of this approach to collaboration and the need for applied ethnomusicologists to learn from and integrate with applied community-making coming out of musical communities who have long been both wary of and invested in the processes of their public representation.

Sustainability Literacy: Assessment of knowingness, attitude and behavior regarding sustainable development among students in China
Authors: Jinyoung Hwang
Published: November 2024

Education is critical to achieving the world’s sustainable development (SD). Assessment or measurement is a means to help an education system to accelerate integrating SD content. To have a perception of the gap in relation to the SD action goals, a basic understanding of current students’ knowledge, attitudes and behaviors (KAB) needs to be established. The study applied a survey to assess Chinses students’ knowingness, attitude and behavior regarding SD. Data were collected from students from all parts of China via an online survey tool, which consists of 887 primary-school students and 1661 secondary-school students. The results indicate a high level of KAB regarding SD among Chinese students, while this sustainability literacy is mainly embodied in the environmental dimension. In general, the results showed the better KAB of primary-school students than secondary-school students, while there was almost no difference between male and female students. Moreover, knowingness and attitude have significant and positive correlations with behaviors. These results constitute a general sketch of Chinese students’ sustainable knowledge, attitudes and behavior, which could be employed to monitor China’s efforts on education for sustainable development and also to foster curriculum developments and innovations in China.
Strategic decision-making in outsourcing: Towards a substantive theory of business streamlining in outsourced processes
Authors: Jinyoung Hwang
Published: November 2024

Organizations are embracing the concept of outsourcing to avoid spending on skills that are needed intermittently. Studies have indicated that outsourcing has been accepted as a strategic move that will be unavoidable business practice in the future. However, there is no clear framework for strategic outsourcing that organizations can use to ensure success. This research utilizes exploratory and descriptive approaches to investigate outsourcing decisions in organizations and the basis of optimizing outsourcing practices. The qualitative aspect of the research involved interviewing of top managers of organizations to gain understanding of outsourcing decisions and challenges encountered in the process. The research employed inferential statistical analysis to draw conclusions from the data collected. The results indicated that outsourcing decisions are motivated by firms seeking operational efficiency. Most firms base their outsourcing tactics on the prior experiences, and there was high correlation between the number of times a firm has outsourced and outsourcing optimization. Also, the study finds out that technological complexity is a considerable factor when making an outsourcing decision. Incidentally, the study established a high correlation between outsourcing and operational efficiency. Organizations that had a propensity to outsource recorded high alignment with objectives and goals. The research validates the need for outsourcing optimization, and proposes a framework for effective outsourcing.
Green marketing and consumer attitudes
Authors: Jinyoung Hwang
Published: November 2024

This research study examines the impact of green marketing strategies on consumer attitudes and behaviors, alongside their implications for organizational financial performance. As environmental concerns intensify, green marketing emerges as a critical tool connecting sustainability with consumer preferences. Through a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys of consumer behavior and qualitative interviews with marketing experts, the study evaluates how green marketing influences consumer perceptions and purchasing decisions. Key findings highlight the positive correlation between exposure to green marketing initiatives and enhanced consumer attitudes toward eco-friendly products, with consumer trust acting as a mediating factor. The research also identifies challenges such as greenwashing and implementation costs that may hinder green marketing success. Theoretical frameworks like the Theory of Planned Behavior and the Triple Bottom Line underpin the analysis, illustrating the financial and reputational benefits of genuine sustainability practices. Practical recommendations include promoting transparency, educating consumers on environmental impacts, and strengthening regulatory frameworks to prevent misleading claims. This research provides valuable insights for businesses seeking to align environmental responsibility with market success, contributing to a more sustainable corporate landscape.

在臺灣的越南文學－－論〈他鄉之夢〉
Authors: 林盈翔 林盈翔
Published: November 2024

根據中華民國政府統計資料，因婚姻、求學、工作而在臺灣生活的東南亞族群已破百萬人，其中越南籍約佔成三成以上，已近四十萬人，皆是臺灣社會的重要組成。而「移民工文學獎」也讓此些東南亞族群得以用自己的母語創作，並傳播於臺灣社會。本文便以第一屆首獎，越南籍丁氏領的〈他鄉之夢〉為核心，分析其「平淡、認命」的敘事基調，並輔以社會學的研究成果，論述其處境。並也分析文章中介於中文與越文兩種語言間的意義落差與文學效果，如筆名中文是芒草香、越文卻是白兔。「女孩之身好比十二渡頭」背後，屬於越南社會文化的隱性脈絡。當然，此類文章並非越南文學的全貌，但確實是目前在臺灣日漸為人重視的「在臺越南文學」。

 

According to government statistics from the Republic of China, the population of Southeastern Asians living in Taiwan because of marriage, study, or work exceeds one million, among which more than 30% are Vietnamese, or nearly 400,000 individuals. They are important members of Taiwanese society. The Taiwan Literature Award for Migrants enables the Southeastern Asian population to use their native language to create works to be disseminated in Taiwan. This study focuses on the work “A Dream of Afar” by Dinh Thi Linh, a Vietnamese author, to analyze the style and tone of “plainness and acceptance of fate.” Sociological research outcomes are adopted to discuss the situations faced by migrants. In addition, this study explores the difference in meaning and literary effects between Chinese and Vietnamese languages in the work. For example, Dinh’s pen name is “Aroma of Silvergrass” in Chinese and “White Rabbit” in Vietnamese. The meaning of “The life of a girl is like 12 wharfs” lies in the implicit context of Vietnamese society and culture. Of course, this type of literature does not represent Vietnamese literature overall; however, it shows that “Vietnamese literature in Taiwan” is currently attracting increased attention in Taiwan.

 
Role Models as an Intervention for Gender Diversity in Computing Education
Authors: Szlavi Anna , Haugland Hanne Sofie , Jaccheri Letizia
Published: November 2024

Context: The lack of gender diversity has been a persistent challenge for computing fields for decades now. Both in education and in the workforce, men are in a significant majority, which poses a threat not only to social fairness and gender equality, but also to the quality and inclusiveness of new technology produced by computing teams. Efforts have been made to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion in the computing field, especially in computing education. Studies suggest that role models would be a helpful intervention for improved gender diversity and equality, but little research has been done to explore the concept more in-depth and specifically within the computing education context.Objective: The research objective of this paper is to explore the impact of role models on gender inclusion in computing education. The lack of thorough research on role models in the field has motivated the following research questions (RQs):RQ1: What recent research exists that explores the impact of role models on computing students?RQ2: Who functions as role models in computing education?Method: The method used to answer the RQs is a systematic literature review (SLR).Results: The SLR included 16 primary papers published between 2015 and 2023. The results, presenting what current literature exists regarding the impact of role models on computing students, reveal a lack of focus on non-US-based contexts and on the retention, not only the recruitment, of non-male identifying students to computing. The paper also provides insight into who are considered to be role models in the context of computing education, what attributes appear important, and why they are considered role models.Conclusion: The results indicated a scarcity of global research on the usefulness of role models for gender diversity within computing education, which calls for further explorations. Teachers and older students are the most commonly identified role models, and they work as role models by breaking down stereotypes and other barriers faced by girls in computing, but certain features must be present in order for them to fulfill such roles. Relatability in gender, age, and passion was identified as significant attributes of role models.

Published: November 2024

OnlineProver is an interactive proof checker, tailored for the educational setting. The main features are a user-friendly interface for editing and checking proofs, and a DSL for specifying deduction systems and exercises about them. The user interfaceprovides feedback directly in the derivation, based on error messages provided by a proof checking web-service. A basic philosophy of the tool, is that it should aid the student, while still maintain that the students construct the proofs as if it was on paper. We gathered feedback on the tool through a questionnaire, and we provide a comprehensive evaluation of its effectiveness, assessing its impact on teaching and learning approaches, along with technical aspects.The evaluation showed that the students were satisfied with using OnlineProver as part of the teaching and gave a first conformation of the learning approach behind. This gives clear directions for future developments.
Insights from the Perspective of Examiners on the Justification of Grades in Higher Education in Norway
Authors: Sørum Hanne , Presthus Wanda
Published: November 2024

Students in higher education in Norway have the right to ask for justifica-tion for and/or complain about the grades they receive. Drawing on an online survey of examiners (n = 54) at a Norwegian university college, we report in terms of numbers and open-ended comments about justifications given to students. Guided by Winston and Boud (2020), we contribute insights that fill a gap in the literature. Our results show that the examiners experienced many requests for justification, which they perceived as time-consuming. They suspected that the information system for exams and grades (WISEflow, in our case) made it easy for students to request justifications. At the same time, they were positive that feedback should be given to stu-dents. We conclude that there is a need for more research on the usefulness of the justification of a given grade in higher education. Our findings reveal that the examiners requested better guidelines for the purpose and content of justifications (descriptive feedback only or advice on how to improve grades) and how to motivate students to be receptive and learn from justifications. Thus, there is great potential for future studies pertaining to this topic.
A Case Study on Student Perspective of Peer Code Review (PCR)
Authors: Rehman Attiqa , Hjelsvold Rune , Montecchi Leonardo
Published: November 2024

Peer Code Review (PCR) is a professional practice and a learning method. A case study on PCR was conducted in a “Programming Languages” course in the fall semester of 2023 at the Norwegian University of Science and Tech-nology (NTNU). A new protocol for peer code review was implemented where the students received a suggested solution and instructor feedback on their solutions before reviewing their peers’ solutions. The motivation for the protocol was to reduce the students’ cognitive load, allowing them to focus on assessing the code produced by their peers. A survey among the students showed that they engaged in the PCR and found the workload rea-sonable. The survey also indicates that students found the review work an opportunity for learning even under the new protocol.

Venus's Temple: Pleasure and Politics in Montesquieu
Authors: Gilmore Nathaniel K.
Published: November 2024

Liberty is Montesquieu's decisive political good, and so contemporary scholarship often debates which political path he thought best to secure it. But as for why liberty is good, most scholars leave that question unexamined. In this article I argue that Montesquieu justifies liberty
and politics by a romantic hedonism, and we understand this hedonism if we compare him to the ancient hedonist he most admired, Lucretius. Uniting Montesquieu's best-known works and restoring his neglected Temple of Gnidus, this article explores the reasoning behind Montesquieu's political
thought, the paradoxes that result, and a twist in Lucretius's early-modern reception.
Natural Innocence and the Psychology of Indignation in The Dialogues of Rousseau
Authors: Pangle Sophie
Published: November 2024

In his last completed writing, Rousseau offers a comprehensive reflection on his central principle of 'natural goodness' through a portrait of himself as a prototype of natural man. Although he is presented as a human type free from amour-propre and its unnatural evils, many
readers of the Dialogues judge its defence of Rousseau's slandered reputation to be an exceptional display of amour-propre itself. I argue that rather than being a model of natural man's freedom from amour-propre, Rousseau offers his self-defence as an illustration of
the 'sentiment of injustice', a natural expression of amour-propre equally responsible for vice and virtue. A strong interpretation of the doctrine that man is naturally free from amour-propre comes to light instead as a form of faith in the innocence of human nature. The
Dialogues reveal Rousseau's intention to offer a new naturalistic faith as a response to the secular political aims of his Enlightenment contemporaries.
A Secret Radical Enlightener in 1770s Copenhagen: Peter Frederik Suhm
Authors: Stjernfelt Frederik
Published: November 2024

Peter Frederik Suhm was a historian and independent author in DenmarkNorway in the latter half of the eighteenth century. Mostly known for his extensive work as an author of historical works and fictions, he also developed a less known political doctrine through the 1760–70s,
developing radical enlightenment ideas. These ideas culminated around the Danish Press Freedom Period 1770–3 and involved ideas such as freedom of speech and religion, rule of law, constitutional monarchy, an elected parliament, separation of powers, etc. — much of which were not
or only partially published at the time. This paper investigates Suhm's radical political philosophy.

Published: November 2024

Este texto tiene como propósito analizar el proceso de patrimonialización del centro histórico de la ciudad de Oaxaca, a partir de un andamiaje teórico y conceptual que destaca el traslape entre las dimensiones espacial y cultural de la vida social. En este sentido, la categoría de centro histórico se utiliza como una herramienta cognoscitiva que expresa una serie de prácticas materiales y simbólicas, las cuales sirven para dotar de un conjunto de valores a unespacio delimitado y diferenciado de la totalidad de la ciudad. En términos metodológicos, se emplea un análisis espacio-temporal para reconstruir la evolución de la ciudad de Oaxaca, así como la conformación de su centralidadhistórica. Asimismo, se recurre al uso de datos documentales y etnográficos, con el fin de develar los discursos y prácticas que desarrollan los distintos sujetos que producen este espacio. Se destaca que el centro histórico de Oaxaca se ha producido como un espacio patrimonial de escala global, donde predomina una visión monumentalista del patrimonio cultural, así como unavaloración y usufructo del mismo, desde una lógica mercantil vinculada a las actividades turísticas.

Published: November 2024

El presente trabajo constituye un esfuerzo para pensar en el rol del espacio barrial popular en la configuración de las identidades culturales de sus pobladores. Con este propósito adoptamos un diseño metodológico con enfoque cualitativo y alcance descriptivo-comparativo, pues los datos que se analizan corresponden a dos barrios populares de Guayaquil, Ecuador. Este artículo se desprende de una experiencia de investigación de dos años, y Estudios se analizan un total de 31 entrevistas y cuatro grupos de discusión en ambos barrios. Los resultados organizados en categorías analíticas dan cuenta de 1) los paisajes barriales, a partir de los recuerdos sobre los orígenes de ambos barrios y el rol de los pobladores en su constitución inicial; 2) las identidades culturales de sus pobladores y los elementos que dan cuenta de una perspectiva territorializada de la identidad; y 3) las identidades de sus pobladores y el contraste con un otro externo, que toma la forma de otros barrios populares.Podemos concluir que las historias de estos barrios populares han tenido la acción colectiva de sus residentes como parte constitutiva de su desarrollo y mantenimiento, y en respuesta, dan cuenta de aquellas experiencias que han configurado las identidades culturales de sus habitantes.
Tecnolatría: el reencantamiento del mundo

Se analiza cómo una nueva ritualidad (tecnolatría) e imbricación del anthropos con sus producciones tecnológicas refiguran las percepciones, organizacionesy prácticas socioculturales en la modernidad tardía. Se plantea un abordaje desde conceptos antropológicos como hiperobjeto, enredamiento y ritualidad a fin de comprender cabalmente las representaciones y prácticas en un entornotecnologizado (tecnósfera), cuya inmanencia y performatividad desvela inscripciones deontológicas caracterizadas por la novedad, el estatus, la aceleración, el productivismo, la virtualidad, el desanclaje espacio-temporal, la ubicuidad, la hiperestimulación sensorial, la excedencia informacional, la hipervigilancia, la violencia sistematizada y burocratizada, y finalmente una reorientación metafísica y ontológica expresada como transhumanismo o posthumanidad.
Virtualización e inclusión: una revisión a la gestión cultural y la educación en el marco del covid-19
Authors: Mariscal Orozco José Luis , Valenzuela Gómez María del Carmen
Published: November 2024

Este ensayo problematiza la premisa de que la virtualización de los servicios educativos y culturales es una estrategia innovadora que permite la inclusión de diversas personas, grupos y comunidades que no pueden ejercer plenamente su derecho a la cultura y a la educación. Para ello se parte visibilizando los supuestos de verdad que sustentan tanto la posición que defiende que las tecnologías digitales contribuyen la inclusión, como de la posición que argumenta lo contrario. A partir de ello se presentarán diversos ejemplos de prácticas de virtualización analizando sus niveles y las implicaciones que conllevan las diversas formas de presentar los contenidos y su diseño para permitir (o no) la participación. Se concluye que la virtualización de los servicios educativos y culturales no puede ser considerada por sí misma una estrategia innovadora para la inclusión si las opciones virtuales a las que tienen acceso las personas que se pretende incluir sólo permiten el consumo pasivo de contenidos y los sujetos no tienen la posibilidad de adecuarlos a sus intereses y capacidades, por lo que la clave es generar las condiciones de participación a partir de contenidos y estructuras más flexibles y adaptables.

A caracterização hidrodinâmica de uma seção do rio Acará, na área de influência de uma indústria de beneficiamento de dendê, revelou que o sistema estuarino está sujeito à influência da maré astronômica, morfologia, características ambientais locais, batimetria, tensão de fundo e vazão fluvial. A modelagem computacional, realizada com o software SisBaHiA®, definiu o domínio de modelagem, a discretização da malha de elementos finitos e a modelagem hidrodinâmica 2DH. Foram simulados cenários representativos dos períodos de maior e menor pluviosidade da região em 2021, correspondentes aos meses de março e outubro, respectivamente. Os resultados indicam que o corpo hídrico na área avaliada apresenta uma maré semidiurna predominantemente estacionária, com fluxo de vazante ocorrendo ligeiramente após a baixa-mar e fluxo de enchente um pouco antes da preamar. Predomina a maré vazante, que cobre aproximadamente 80% do ciclo de maré, com velocidades médias variando entre 0,28 e 0,37 m/s. As maiores velocidades são registradas durante a meia-maré enchente e a meia-maré vazante. As características hidrodinâmicas identificadas na área de estudo são relevantes para avaliar a capacidade de suporte e autodepuração do sistema hídrico, caso este venha a ser utilizado como receptor de efluentes com alta carga poluidora provenientes da indústria de beneficiamento de dendê.
Woody biomass as an alternative to reduce natural gas consumption in the generation of process steam in the industrial sector
Authors: Bueno Grazielli , Santos Tiago Henrique dos , Novaes Kátia Cristiane Kobus
Published: November 2024

In the world, the industrial sector consumes a significant portion of primary energy, knowing that the majority of energy consumption in industry is heat found, mostly at temperatures below 400 °C. The present study aims to analyze the economic potential for the generation of steam for industrial processes in several cities in Brazil in two scenarios: those using natural gas as fuel and the other using wood pellets. The analysis of process steam generation costs was obtained through a calculation that used the parameters of Net Present Value, Internal Rate of Return and investment payback time. Thus, it was observed that the boiler that uses wood pellets is a viable alternative, with LCOH ranging from 20.25 US$/MWhth to 36.15 US$/MWhth. In this sense, by using renewable fuel to generate process steam in the industrial sector, there is the possibility of reducing the consumption of fossil fuels, such as natural gas, and consequently, minimizing the emission of greenhouse gases.

Free trade plays a crucial role in global economic development, especially in the era of globalization, and the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) aims to create a single market within the ASEAN region through the liberalization of trade in goods. This study examines the impact of AFTA on Indonesia's economic transformation, including increased export and import volumes as well as regional economic integration, highlighting benefits such as the growth of exports in manufacturing, agriculture, and consumer goods, alongside strengthening domestic industries. However, free trade poses risks, such as competition from imported products that could pressure local producers. Using a qualitative approach through literature studies, the findings show a significant increase in export and import volumes following AFTA implementation, although regional development disparities remain a challenge. This study emphasizes the need for strategies to improve product quality, enhance infrastructure, and build sectoral synergy to ensure inclusive economic integration and drive Indonesia's overall economic progress.

International trade plays a strategic role in driving economic growth, especially for developing countries like Indonesia. Through trade activities, countries can access products with more economical prices or superior quality while expanding the market for their local products. One important concept in international trade is trade creation, which is an increase in the volume of trade between countries as a result of the reduction or elimination of tariff and non-tariff barriers. This concept allows goods produced more efficiently in other countries to be imported to replace more expensive or less efficient domestic products (Baier & Bergstrand, 2020). As a developing country, Indonesia is also active in international trade and has significant trade relations with China, particularly in the textile and apparel sector, where China has become the largest trading partner in recent years.

Testing the relationship between bleaching severity and climate change during the fourth large-scale coral bleaching event
Authors: Geng Muyan
Published: November 2024

The Fourth Global Coral Bleaching Event unfolded amidst the accelerating impacts of climate change, underscoring the urgent need to reassess the relationship between coral bleaching trends and climatic shifts. This study examined the influence of sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies and cumulative thermal stress, quantified by Degree Heating Weeks (DHW), on coral bleaching rates from early 2023 to mid-2024. Satellite-derived coral risk data were analyzed for correlation with field survey data. The results revealed that SST anomalies alone were insufficient to significantly predict coral bleaching events. However, a significant positive correlation was found between DHW and coral bleaching rates, indicating that cumulative thermal stress is a critical predictor of bleaching events. This finding emphasizes the necessity of implementing an effective monitoring and early warning system based on DHW thresholds to mitigate the impacts of coral bleaching, especially given the increasing frequency of such events in the context of climate change.
