The Role of Slab Remnants in Modulating Free Subduction Dynamics: a 3-D Spherical Numerical Study
Authors: Chen Fangqin , Davies D. Rhodri , Goes Saskia , Suchoy Lior , Kramer Stephan C
Published: August 2023

Seismic tomography of Earth’s mantle images abundant slab remnants,
often located in close proximity to active subduction systems. The
impact of such remnants on the dynamics of subduction remains under
explored. Here, we use simulations of multi-material free subduction in
a 3-D spherical shell geometry to examine the interaction between
visco-plastic slabs and remnants that are positioned above, within and
below the mantle transition zone. Depending on their size, negatively
buoyant remnants can set up mantle flow of similar strength and length
scales as that due to active subduction. As such, we find that remnants
located within a few hundred km from a slab tip can locally enhance
sinking by up to a factor 2. Remnant location influences trench motion:
the trench advances towards a remnant positioned in the mantle wedge
region, whereas remnants in the sub-slab region enhance trench retreat.
These motions aid in rotating the subducting slab and remnant towards
each other, reducing the distance between them, and further enhancing
the positive interaction of their mantle flow fields. In this process,
the trench develops along-strike variations in shape that are dependent
on the remnant’s location. Slab-remnant interactions may explain the
poor correlation between subducting plate velocities and subducting
plate age found in recent plate tectonic reconstructions. Our results
imply that slab-remnant interactions affect the evolution of subducting
slabs and trench geometry. Remnant-induced downwelling may also anchor
and sustain subduction systems, facilitate subduction initiation, and
contribute to plate reorganisation events.
Predisposing Factors of Anaemia among Pregnant Mothers with ≤ 12 Weeks of POA Receiving Antenatal Care in the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka
Authors: Arulkumaran Segarajasingam
Published: August 2023

Background: Anaemia in pregnant mothers is associated with increased rates of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Therefore, identifying predisposing factors of anaemia in pregnant mothers is essential for results based intervention modalities. The aim of this study was to describe the predisposing factors for anemia and its related factors among pregnant mothers. Objectives: To describe the prevalence and the predisposing factors for anemia in pregnant mothers in the Eastern Province. Methods: Simple descriptive cross-sectional study included 1334 pregnant mothers in first trimester. Pre-tested, structured questionnaire and Qualitative components such as Focus group discussion, In-depth interviews, and Key informant interviews were conducted to relevant participants and care providers. Results: The overall prevalence of anemia was 32.9% (439/1334). Among 439 mothers with anaemia, 87.24% had mild level anaemia, 12.53% had moderate level anaemia, and 0.23% with severe anaemia. Following factors were related to the high prevalence of anaemia among pregnant mothers such as recurrent miscarriages three or more, increased number of gravidity, marital age of less than 18 years, and pregnancy after the age of 30, mothers studied up to primary level of education and with body mass index of < 18.5. In-Depth Interview pointed numerous supporting issues such as less value for nutrition and it related diseases among service providers, availability and adequacy of services for nutrition awareness and modification. Discussion: Association of anaemia was found to be more significant in the age group of <20 years and >35 years. Analyzing possible predisposing factors shown, dietary habit, medical condition, number of pregnancy, and miscarriage are some positive contributing factors for anaemia during the pregnancy. Focus group discussion of PHM revealed service related issues such as inadequacy of facilities and manpower, maldistribution of service providers and area specific problems in remote areas. FGD conducted to pregnant mother’s revealed negligence by service provider, lack of communication, and less priority for nutrition enhancement are identified as predisposing factors. Both types of evaluation show the education status of mothers and spouse play key role of iron deficiency anaemia. They gave less priority for control of anaemia, even most of them not bother about their nutritional status.

Published: August 2023

The novel COVID-19 pandemic that affects global food production and accessibility is a great concern/risk towards different country’s capacity to the attainment of stable and sustaining food security. Thus, Qatar’s food security like every other country of the globe is under a threat because of the COVID-19 pandemic which has been so far well managed because of its robust policies, social structure and proactive measures. Before the pandemic, Qatar has strengthened its food security status through laudable fiscal policies that focus on the local production increment, diversifying the sources of food imports and edible items, and overseas agro-business to ensure stable food supply at affordable prices. Hence, this mini-review looks into the current state of food security in Qatar amidst the global COVID-19 pandemic to establish if the current trend will help ensure food availability and accessibility in the foreseeable future.
A Review on Mycotoxin in Dried Herbs
Authors: Befa Abdela
Published: August 2023

Herbs can be used in different forms such as fresh and dried. A mycotoxin is the greatest concern in the case of dried herbs, due to their low water activity, microbial contamination may persist in these products, and thus, herbs can be sources of outbreaks of foodborne diseases. The toxigenic fungal compounds called mycotoxin are poisonous substances produced by different species of fungus. Three major genera of fungus are identified to produce mycotoxins: they include Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Penicillium. Although other genera also produce these toxigenic compounds. The presence of mycotoxins in dried herbs poses health risks ranging from mild to severe damage to the liver and kidney. Fungal toxicity could be prevented by controlling the environmental condition that influences fungal growth, which is by controlling the physical conditions of the dried herbs and by the use of mold inhibitors and anti-cracking additives. The control of the toxigenic compounds could also be by removing the suspected dried herbs with a fungal toxin or by the addition of the toxin binder to the ratio of the dried herbs.
Impact of Protein Diet Supplements on Athletes
Authors: M Athar
Published: August 2023

Protein supplements are one of the most commonly consumed nutritional supplements, whether by professional athletes or amateurs, even by those who use them for aesthetic purposes instead of sporting ones. The thirst for becoming better is increasing day by day and so is the quest for competition. Sports have been one of the greatest of platforms to showcase one’s talent, thus leading to constant hustle for getting better day by day. To improve the performance, diet and physical appearance of the body i.e. muscle growth of athletes, sports nutrient products are developed. The use of these protein supplements in diet has increased the physiological requirement of protein but whether the use of these supplements is having positive or negative effect on the host is still a topic of debate for many. Large amount of protein derived constituents end up in the large intestine in case of high protein diets as compared to medium or low protein diets, leading to more bacterial amino acid metabolism in colon having positive as well as negative effects on the host. We, here, will try to summarize the impact of protein diet supplements on athletes.
Comparison of Segmental Vs Total Colectomy for Treatment of Crohn’s Disease
Authors: A Jamshed
Published: August 2023

Background: There is debate concerning segmental resection for Crohn's disease. Segmental resection is reportedly associated with a greater rate of re-resection as compared to total colectomy. This topic is rarely covered in studies, and postoperative functional result has never been documented. Objective: In this study, the effects of resection, postoperative symptoms, and anorectal function were examined between segmental resection and total colectomy with anastomosis. Material and Methods: This retrospective comparative study was carried out at Department of General Surgery Hayatabad Medical Complex Peshawar from July 2019 to July 2022. Total 70 patients with Crohn's disease limited to the colon or rectum underwent resection were included. Patients were grouped into one of three categories: (a) segmental disease, (b) pancolitis with rectal sparing, or (c) proctocolitis. Recurrences were identified by colonoscopy, barium enema, upper gastrointestinal tract series with small-bowel follow-through, gross examination of bowel at reoperation, or pathologic examination of tissue Results: Total 70 patients were included in the study. Age ranged between 18-65 years with a mean of 41.5 years. There were 40(57.1%) male and 30(42.9%) female, with male to female ratio of 1.3:1. Most common presenting symptoms were pain, diarrhea and anorectal complaints. Initial diagnosis was made through colonoscopy/endoscopy in 50(71.4%) patients and by radiological study in 20(28.6%) patients. Patients were equally divided into 2 groups i.e. group 1 & 2 (35 patients in each group). Group 1 consisted total abdominal colectomy patients while group 2 comprise segmental resection patients. The sites of the cancer occurrence were similar between the two groups, i.e. the proximal colon and distal colon. In group 1, a lower frequency of recurrence was recorded 1 year following surgery when compared with group 2. Conclusion: Although recurrence are most likely, segmental resection improves the quality of life by delaying the need for a stoma and by preserving functioning bowel.
Fruit Bats: Their Importance, Threats and Conservation
Authors: Singh Rajwinder
Published: August 2023

Bats are nocturnal mammals which lives in large aggregations as colonies, hang their feet to twig of tree upward side, provide widespread ecological and monetary services via pollination, seed dispersal, rejuvenation of forests, guano as nutrient rich fertilizer and agricultural pest control. Different factors like exposure to heavy metals, pesticides, hunting, diminishing food supply, habitat destruction, forest fires and diseases are responsible for decreasing bat population, but urbanization greatly affects the composition and structure of inhabiting animal communities by transforming the natural habitats into environments dominated by human constructions. Micro bats feed on insect pests and help to reduce pesticide application in agricultural crops, whereas fruit bats feed on horticultural orchards like guava, ber and litchi thus act as pest. Bats are reservoirs of many pathogens like hendra, nipah, tioman, European lyssa and ebola viruses which cause several epidemic diseases among humans and domestic animals. Among 60 countries around the world, more than 200 bat species are considered to be threatened (critically endangered, endangered or vulnerable) by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Using different eco-friendly methods like artificial lights and netting we can save our orchards and conserve fruit bats which will be helpful in the maintenance of ecological balance of nature.

Published: August 2023

Present investigation was carried out with 35 rice genotypes under wet direct seeding condition at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Jagtial, PJTSAU, Telangana, India during kharif (June to October), 2016. High GCV and PCV values for important yield contributing traits viz., 1000 grain weight (24.41, 24.62) and number of grains panicle-1 (26.17, 29.30) were observed. High heritable and genetic advance values for 1000 grain weight (98.30, 49.86) and number of grains panicle-1 (79.80, 48.16) indicated the role of additive genes and these traits can be improved by simple selections. Effective bearing tillers m-2recorded low values of heritability (25.40) and genetic advance (5.19) suggesting the exploitation of heterosis for improvement of this important yield character. Effective bearing tillers m-2 (0.7097**), plant height (0.5014**) and panicle length (0.3219**) exhibited significant correlations with yield, hence direct selection for these traits could improve the yield. Highest inter cluster distance was observed between clusters IV and VI (27.75) followed by III and VI (24.69), IV and V (22.34) and III and V (22.23) thus high heterotic hybrids can be developed by making crosses between genotypes of the clusters. 1000 grain weight (44.2%) contributed highest towards total divergence followed by days to 50% flowering (40.17%) and plant height (10.76). Genotypes from cluster V and VI can be used as parents in breeding programme for development of extra early varieties. Cluster II and IV recorded lowest means for plant height and hence genotypes from these clusters can be used as parents for development of dwarf varieties desirable for wet direct seeding condition.

The study was conducted during January to June, 2019 under college of Agricultural Engineering, Department of Post Harvest Process and Food Engineering, JNKVV, Jabalpur, M.P. (482002), India. The main objective of the research was to determine how paneer cube size influenced drying time and to study the effect of the combination of microwave heating tempering time and hot air drying on drying rate of paneer cube. A paneer sample was prepared using a National Dairy Development Board-developed industrial paneer manufacturing procedure (NDDB). Response surface methodology was implemented in this study to optimize microwave heating and ambient tempering for accelerated drying of milk paneer. Optimization factors included paneer cube size (5–25 mm), microwave power level (150–750W), heating time (2–10 min), and tempering time (1–5 min), while responses included moisture content (dry basis %) and bulk density (g cc-1). Optimum parameter for highly acceptable product with (13.8 mm) cube size at the microwave power level (670.27 W), heating time (7.2 min), tempering time (4.621 min) presented the Moisture content (22.15%) and bulk density (0.36 g cc-1) by using Design expert 13. The experimental values under the microwave drying condition matched the outcome predicted by analysis of variance. It shows that the model is highly fit and that response surface methodology (RSM) was successful in maximizing the microwave power level, which has a significant and advantageous impact on drying rate.

A total of 10 accessions were used for this experiment which were collected from different districts of Manipur. Based on the colony colour, they were classified as black, greyish-black and light greyish. Pigmentation was the same, i.e., black for all. Based on sporulation they were categorised as excellent, good and moderate. Different types of growth patterns were also observed from different types of accessions, i.e., flattened, slightly raised fluffy and raised cottony. The margins were recorded as regular and irregular. The range of fresh and dry weight, varied from 12.12 g–5.15 g and 1.61 g–0.82 g, respectively. Among six different types of media used to measure radial colony growth, maize leaf extract was found to be the highest and corn meal agar was the least. The growth rate for up to 7 days was observed and it was found that OQ689065 was considered as fastest-growing among all while, OQ689062 was considered as slowest. As per the length of the conidia, the maximum and minimum length was found to be 91.70 µm and 57.35 µm. Similarly, the maximum and minimum width was found to be 18.01 µm and 11.09 µm. The average septation of 10 accessions varied from 6.4 to 4.3. The statistical analyses performed during this study were found significant.

The investigation was carried out during rabi season (November–April) of 2020–2021 in the polyhouse, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab, India. CRD (Completely Randomize Design) were used in 3 replications with the objective to assess the performance of 20 chickpea genotypes under salinity stress conditions in order to identify genotypes that demonstrate greater tolerance to these conditions. To induce the salinity stress, NaCl salts were administer in two split doses of 120 mM during sowing and at 15 DAS. The study evaluated a range of parameters, including phenological, physiological, morphological, biochemical, and yield parameters, to examine the impact of salt stress on genotypes that exhibit varying levels of tolerance. Total proline content increment is due to increase of stress related proteins during the salinity. The yield parameters increase in non-saline conditions whereas in stress conditions, yield will get reduce. The findings revealed an increase in the total Proline content due to the production of stress-related proteins during salinity stress; however, yield parameters were negatively affected under stress conditions, with the most significant decrease observed in the 120 mM NaCl treatment group compared to the control group. ICC5439 and GNG 1581 emerged as highly tolerant chickpea genotypes under salinity stress conditions, while ICC 6050, ICC 251, ICC 252, and ICC 262 exhibited medium tolerance. In contrast, ICC253, ICC 247, and ICC 249 were found to be highly susceptible genotypes, with the remaining genotypes showing minimal tolerance and sensitivity to salinity stress.

Published: August 2023

The study was conducted at Arsi-robe, Southeast Ethiopia during August–December, 2020 to understand the extent of genetic variability and association for yield and yield related traits among Kabuli chickpea genotypes. Forty-nine Kabuli chickpea genotypes were evaluated for 11 traits at Arsi-robe using 7×7 simple lattice designs. The analysis of variance showed significant differences among genotypes. The phenotypic variances of the traits were higher than the genotypic variances, implying the influence of environment on the expression of the traits. Genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) ranged from 1.28 for days to maturity to 41.74% for grain yield and phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) ranged from 1.47 to 44.06% for days to maturity and grain yield, respectively. High heritability was recorded from grain yield. High broad-sense heritability coupled with high genetic advance was observed for grain yield, number of secondary branches and hundred seed weight. Grain yield showed highly significant and positive genotypic correlations with grain filling period, number of seed plant-1 and plant height. Genotypic path coefficient analysis showed that days to maturity, number of pods plant-1, number of seed plant-1, plant height and hundred seed weight had positive direct effects on grain yield. Number of pods plant-1 exhibited a maximum positive direct effect on grain yield. The observed variations indicate the possibility for further improvement of grain yield and associated traits by utilizing selected parental genotypes and targeted crossing schemes in breeding programs.

A água é um recurso natural com alto valor econômico agregado, que nem sempre é próprio para o consumo humano. Na água podem ser encontradas diversas substâncias químicas, como os íons ferro e manganês que, dependendo de sua concentração, podem causar danos à saúde humana. Assim, no presente estudo teve-se como objetivo avaliar as concentrações de íons ferro e manganês em amostras de água bruta em diferentes municípios do Estado de Minas Gerais. Para isso, foram analisadas 422 amostras de água provenientes de 85 municípios, sendo originadas de diferentes fontes, como poços, cisternas, minas e nascentes. Para análise, a concentração de ferro e manganês foi determinada por meio de espectrofotometria, utilizando kits específicos para cada íon. Das 422 amostras de água, 93 (22,0%) e 106 (25,1%) apresentaram valores acima do limite máximo de ferro e manganês, respectivamente, segundo a portaria GM/MS nº 888 de maio de 2021. Embora sejam consideradas impróprias para o consumo humano, o tratamento por meio da adição de cloro seguida de processo de filtração, pode ser uma alternativa viável para reduzir a concentração de ferro e manganês na água e contribuir para a redução de bactérias na água.

Conceptualism Philosophy of the “Biblical Time” in the Works of Jacob Druskin
Authors: Darenskiy Vitaliy
Published: August 2023

In the article the author analyzes the time ontology as noumenal relation, developed in the treatises of Ja.S. Druskin and genetically associated with the “leap” to biblical thinking implemented by L.I. Shestov. It is shown that the path of “conversion” of consciousness described by Ja.S. Druskin has the character of “inner mystery” of the soul, ascending to the counter gifts of the Spirit. This is a kind of “inner ritual” that the soul performs in every momentary effort to stand before the Creator and Judge, seeking reciprocal grace. Methodologically Ja.S. Druskin radicalizes the way of overcoming the “natural attitude” of consciousness, started by E. Husserl, and characterizes it as “philosophical paganism”, which can be overcome only by the biblical attitude of consciousness. The latter is a relation that transcends any ontology of the created world and carries out the act of returning the created “I” to its uncreated image, which is assumed as a relation to the absolute “Thou” of the Creator. This is the “personal eternity” that opens not as a logical timelessness, but as a special vision – as being in the Face of God. Exploring the architectonics of the noumenal “I – You” relationship, Ja.S. Druskin develops the philosophy of dialogue as new Philosophia prima, which includes the whole gamut of the traditional metaphysical problematics in the context of the primary absolute “I – Thou” relationship, including rethinking the category of time. In this context, the category of time acquires new eschatological meaning, since it is fi lled not with just simple duration, but with the process of human transformation – the transition from the “shadow of death” into eternity, from the state of immanent lies to the recovery of the gift of grace and the rediscovery of the image of God in man.
Liturgical Aesthetics of Archpriest Sergei Protopopov

The article is devoted to the analysis of the treatise “On the Artistic Element in Orthodox Church Singing: (Thoughts and Observations)” (1901) by archpriest S. Protopopov as the fi rst experience of aesthetic research of church music in the period of the Silver Age. The author examines the ontological foundations of the archpriest’s understanding of the nature of aesthetic perception and the specifi cs of sacred music (church singing). It is shown that Sergei Protopopov succeeded in substantiating the principles of the revival of canonical church singing on the basis of the laws of musical harmony of later epochs.
Orthodox Historical Philosophy of A.A. Tsarevsky
Authors: Darenskaya Vera
Published: August 2023

The article examines the Orthodox historiosophy of A.A. Tsarevsky, a representative of academic science, who was a historian and thinker with a wide range of interests, who embodied in his works the main ideas of the philosophy of the Silver Age: the universal vocation of Russia, Orthodoxy as the center of the world history, metaphysical laws of the historical process. A.A. Tsarevsky represented a “different Silver Age” – the cultural direction, the purpose of which was the revival of the primordial cultural tradition set by the baptism of Russia and opposing secularization. He created the fi rst ecclesiocentric concept, which was then developed in the works of N.D. Talberg, G.V. Florovsky and others. A.A. Tsarevsky can be considered the founder of Orthodox traditionalism in Russian historical science.
“Churching” of Russian History and Historiosophy of N.D. Talberg.
Authors: Darenskiy Vitaliy
Published: August 2023

The article offers the analysis N.D. Talberg’s historiosophy and its Orthodox foundations. The author shows that Talberg’s concept of Russian history is based on the application to it of the principle of “symphony of the authorities” as a measure of the churching of Russian people life, and hence the entire Christian meaning of Russian history. This is an ecclesiocentric view on Russian history when the history of Russia is understood as the history of the people of God, and all the events of Russian history are important insofar as they are connected with the earthly existence of the Church of Christ. N.D. Talberg belongs to the type of historian-publicist, and his personological method gives spiritual biographies of outstanding fi gures of Russian history, a kind of “secular lives”, through which the Orthodox meaning and spiritual driving forces of Russian history are revealed.
“There will be, there will be – Tsushima! There will be a New Kalka...”: the Image of Japan in the Literature of Russian Symbolism
Authors: Molodiakov Vassili
Published: August 2023

The image of Japan and its place in the literature of Russian symbolism go far beyond the image of a certain country in the perception of another country in a specifi c historical epoch. The theme of Japan occupied an important place in the works of Vladimir Solovyov (1853–1900), Valery Bryusov (1873–1924), Andrei Bely (1880– 1934) and Konstantin Balmont (1867–1942), who were the key fi gures of Russian literature and thought of the Silver Age, who had signifi cant infl uence on the contemporaries. For Solovyov, Bryusov and Bely, Japan was of particular importance not in itself, but in connection with the historical destinies of Russia, its present and future. Whether Japan was a force of positive “progress” or a reactionary “order”, an ally of the West or the “East of Xerxes”, what threat it posed to Russia and how it was connected with Russian revolutionary disaster – those problems were the key-note of the most important works of Solovyov, Bryusov and Bely. However, along with the image of Japan as a “yellow peril” there also existed the image of “picturesque Japan”, which received the most vivid embodiment in the poems and essays of Konstantin Balmont. The article summarizes the author’s studies published for over more than 30 years.
“The Magic Palimpsest” On the Signifi cance of L.N. Gumilev’s Poetry and Legacy
Authors: Saraev Andrei
Published: August 2023

L.N. Gumilev belonged to the very small group of the children of the Silver Age in Russian culture, and the fi rst three decades of his own adult life (until the early 1960s) he particularly devoted to writing poetry. The literary heritage of L.N. Gumilev’s has been preserved only fragmentarily and does not refl ect the full range of his interests – neither in subject matter, nor in genres (the prosaic works have not been basically preserved). However, the extant works make it possible to establish a direct connection between the poetic work of L.N. Gumilev and the tradition of the Silver Age, from which he drew many images and plots. The greatest infl uence on Gumilev Jr. was exerted by the works of his father, N.S. Gumilev. Moreover, in the proper scientifi c heritage of L.N. Gumilev poetry also constitutes a separate layer: these are both poetic allusions and direct quotations of poems, including those of the Silver Age. Often in his scientifi c works L.N. Gumilev embarked on an intellectual game, which, despite the outward lightness of his language, hid second and even third layers of meanings from the mass reader, like the shadows of former texts in old parchment manuscripts (palimpsests). Thus, throughout his scholar and creative life L.N. Gumilev was accompanied by the proper ‘poetic image of the historian’. This is a kind of the alter ego of the author, and in unraveling it, it is important to understand that for Gumilev the presence of science in poetry and of poetry in science was quite organic.

Published: August 2023

Learning requires students to be able to improve the various abilities needed in the 21st century. However, student abilities were still low. The solution to the problem is to apply a cooperative learning model. This study aims to determine the effect of using the cooperative model on students' knowledge abilities and critical thinking skills in science learning which is determined through the effect size. This study uses a descriptive meta-analysis research method. Research data were obtained from 20 journals about the effect of using the cooperative learning model, where there were 10 journals related to learning outcomes and 10 journals on students' critical thinking skills. Research is based on two categories, the ability achieved and the type of cooperative learning model. The results showed that the use of the cooperative model in the category of student ability obtained an average effect size of 0.93 high category on learning outcomes and an average effect size of 1.08 high category on critical thinking skills which showed a positive influence in improving student abilities. Second, based on the type of cooperative learning model, the average effect size is 0.74 in the medium category, which indicates that the use of cooperative learning models is still less effective in improving student learning outcomes. The average effect size value for critical thinking skills which shows the type of cooperative learning model is 0.76 has a positive effect on students' critical thinking skills. Therefore, it is important for educators to use learning models to improve students' skills.

"One of the most challenging categories of threats circulating into the online world is social engineering, with malicious web links, fake news, clickbait, and other tactics. Malware URLs are extremely dangerous because they represent the main propagating vector for web malware. Malicious web links detection is a challenging task because the detection mechanism should not influence the consumers’ online experience. The proposed solutions must be sensitive enough, and fast enough to perform the detection mechanism before the user accesses the link and downloads its content. Our paper proposes three goals. The main purpose of this paper is to refine a methodology for malicious web links detection that may be used to experiment with machine learning algorithms. Moreover, we propose to use this methodology for training and comparing several machine learning algorithms such as Random Forest, Decision Tree, K-Nearest Neighbor. The results are compared, justified, and placed in the malicious web links literature. In addition, we propose to identify the most relevant features and draw some observations about them. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 68T99, 68U99. 1998 CR Categories and Descriptors. 68T99 [Artificial Intelligence]: Applications and Expert Systems – Experiments for Malicious Web Links Detection; 68U99 [Management of Computing and Information Systems]: Security and Protection – Malicious Web Links.

Prejuicios que silencian: Injusticia Testimonial y Muerte Hermenéutica
Authors: Guerrero-Mc Manus Siobhan
Published: August 2023

En el presente texto se retoma la noción de injusticia epistémica desarrollada por Miranda Fricker, así como algunos avances posteriores que dicho concepto posibilitó, para mostrar las facetas epistémicas que acompañan a diversas formas de exclusión y marginación, en las cuales las desigualdades de género juegan un papel importante. Se sostiene que el feminismo contemporáneo puede caracterizarse, al menos en parte, por un afán de subsanar este tipo de injusticias. Empero, como también se evidencia en este texto, subsisten todavía en su interior contradicciones y prejuicios que conducen al mantenimiento de la condición de muerte hermenéutica en la que se encuentran las poblaciones trans y las personas dedicadas al trabajo sexual. De manera general, este trabajo busca revelar la existencia de un conjunto de puntos ciegos o prejuicios que aún perviven en el feminismo contemporáneo y que incluso han ido tomando fuerza; me refiero concretamente a las posiciones transexcluyentes y abolicionistas del trabajo sexual que en la actualidad promueven narrativas en torno a estos dos sectores y que potencian su marginalidad y exclusión.

Actualmente hay un alto porcentaje de alumnos que muestran desmotivación y desinterés en el aula y, cada vez va más, esta situación aumenta en etapas superiores. Por ello, se hace ineludible el conocimiento de diferentes metodologías activas como alternativa a la metodología tradicional, para, de esta forma, poder observar si es un factor determinante o no en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje del alumnado. En este sentido, el presente estudio pretende valorar algunas de las metodologías activas como el aprendizaje cooperativo, el flipped classroom, el Aprendizaje Basado en Proyectos (ABP) y la gamificación, para conocer las mejoras educativas que se pueden realizar. Los resultados obtenidos confirman que la metodología tradicional desmotiva al alumnado, ya que no adquiere los conocimientos y capacidades necesarias para resolver los problemas que se puedan presentar en su día a día. Por otro lado, el estudio también revela que los docentes, en general, no están preparados para el cambio metodológico necesario.
Educar en Derechos Humanos a través de vidas migrantes
Authors: Serván-Melero Cristina
Published: August 2023

El presente trabajo plantea la relevancia en materia de educación en Derechos Humanos y de Sensibilización Intercultural de las historias de vida de las personas migrantes. Para ilustrar esta perspectiva nos basamos en la experiencia como herramienta educativa de la “Enciclopedia de los migrantes”, (https://www.enciclopedia-de-los-migrantes.eu/es/).

La iniciativa de uso de este material parte de la necesidad de combatir los conceptos discriminatorios y contrarios a los derechos fundamentales, promovidos a través de los discursos neoliberales cada vez más influyentes en el pensamiento de la sociedad actual. El uso de materiales y metodologías basadas en el acercamiento personal a las vidas de las personas migrantes promueve una mejor comprensión del alumnado de las desigualdades en el acceso a derechos y sus efectos. Las acciones educativas descritas en este trabajo están situadas en el ámbito no formal y han sido desarrolladas por la Asociación Pro-Derechos Humanos de Andalucía (APDHA) en la provincia de Cádiz. 

Utilizando metodología interpretativa basada en la etnografía crítica, se ha analizado la experiencia educativa y los resultados alcanzados.  Se observa que la conexión con la realidad de las personas migrantes favorece la desarticulación de estereotipos discriminatorios. También se evidencia la efectividad para la sensibilización de las estrategias de colaboración entre personas migrantes, entidades sociales, instituciones y centros educativos. Por último, destacamos esta experiencia como un modelo de buenas prácticas para la educación en Derechos Humanos y Sensibilización Intercultural.
