The idea of adapting Malay traditional architectural values has been gazetted as one of the resolutions for National Architecture Identity as presented in ‘Seminar Ke Arah Identiti Kebangsaan Dalam Seni Bina’ in 1981. The resolution heavily influenced the adaptation of traditional Malay architecture, motives, and artefact onto modern architecture as a form to inculcate a singular and united national identity. A lot of research and documentation on good and meaningful architecture embracing the ideals of National architecture identity through the worldview and perspectives of Malay scholars and architects have been documented through books, journals, magazines and extensively discussed during seminars, symposiums, and discourses. Ironically, the contributions of Non-Malay architects adapting Malay symbolism to enunciate or articulate national pride and identity, either due to policies or interest, are minimally discussed and highlighted. This publication attempted to document the contributions of non-Malay architects to the national architecture identity construct. It is crucial to shape future philosophies, theories, criticisms, and thoughts on the overall built environment in developing a comprehensive construct of national architectural identity that does not necessarily rely on ethnocentric criteria based on a single race dominance. The research allows us to expand and progress the local architecture narrative by including diverse voices and thoughts, especially of those who have contributed extensively in the eras of nation-building. This inclusive and diverse input will, in turn, inform and expand the discourse of national identity and unity.

Road accident contributes to high fatality rate around the world and being the 8th leading cause of death of all ages worldwide. Thus, road safety is essential for ensuring the safety and security of individuals of all ages, as well as reducing the number of traffic accidents and injuries as a one way to achieve Sustainable Development Goals 2030. This study aims to assess the level of road safety awareness in terms of basic road traffic practices among public who use Jalan Kluang Federal Route 50 (FT050). The level of knowledge on basic road traffic practices, the level of perceived real practice on basic road traffic practices, and the relationship between their level of knowledge and perceived real practice on basic road traffic practices were investigated. A survey method via questionnaire was distributed randomly to 200 respondents who are adults aged 18 and above and who live around Batu Pahat areas using Google Form online platform. Relevant statistical methods via Statistical Package for the Social Science Software version 26.0 (SPSS) such as descriptive, Mean Score Method, Correlation and Regression analyses were used to analyse the data. It is found that the level of knowledge on basic road traffic practices among public is high. Meanwhile, the level of perceived real practice on basic road traffic practices among public is low. Regression analysis results show that the awareness on knowledge of basic road traffic practices variable (β = 0.624, t = 11.229, p < 0.05) demonstrate a statistically significant relationship with perceived real practices, indicating that, the better an individual’s awareness on knowledge of basic road traffic practices (e.g. importance of safety belt, safety helmet, child restraint system (CRS) and speeding) the better the individual to actually apply the basic road traffic practices (e.g. the use of seat belt, safety helmet, CRS and speeding).

In recent decades, urban noise has become well-known as one of the critical problems affecting the quality of life in urban areas around the world. Noise assessment is becoming more common in Malaysia as many cities in this country become highly populated and industrialized with serious noise pollution issues, particularly in schools. The aims of this study are to identify the factors and effects of noise in the school environments and evaluate the acoustic comfort of the teachers during the teaching lesson in the school environment. A total of 3 schools located in the urban area of Batu Pahat, Johor, which were Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK), Tinggi Batu Pahat, SMK Tun Aminah and SMK Semerah were chosen as study areas. In the present study, questionnaires survey using Google Form were distributed to teachers working in the selected schools. Expert reviews and a pilot study were carried out before the actual survey. The results indicated that the noise factors were coming from inside and outside the classroom, mainly from traffic noise and heavy vehicles near the school environment and noise from student activities and chattering. Teachers need to raise their voice during the teaching and learningprocess, and some of them had a sore throat. SMK Tinggi Batu Pahat and SMK Tun Aminah teachers were uncomfortable with the existing acoustic comfort of the school environments.

Published: January 2024

This ethnography study investigates the sociocultural significance of the Tonggoluan and Pusi’ death rituals that persist in Bolaang Mongondow society despite the threat of modernity. Current understanding ignores its ontological role in preserving the existence of Bolaang Mongondow, so this research aims to explain these traditions as a basis for identity formation and social reproduction through the lens of Victor Turner's symbolic anthropology. Using a rigorous ethnographic field study, data was collected through in-depth interviews and observation of six elders in Bolaang Mongondow. These findings reveal that Tonggoluan graves encapsulate the eternal spiritual connection between living and deceased ancestors. Its sacralization reflects a strong belief in a metaphysical realm that upholds the collective memory of this community. Meanwhile, wearing Pusi’ mourning clothes symbolizes sadness and passing down cultural values from generation to generation. This ritual also builds communal solidarity during mourning, reaffirming Bolaang Mongondow's identity. Essentially, these two traditions combine the temporary and the eternal through the creative reproduction of meaning, forming the basis of local existence. Therefore, maintaining this death ceremony amidst the erosion of modern culture is very important to ensure the continuity of the unique identity of this indigenous community. This encourages a deeper global appreciation of the role of death rituals in strengthening the cultural vitality of the Bolaang Mongondow community group.

Published: January 2024

Rutting is one of the major distresses in pavement. The objective of this paper is to develop an improved asphalt binder grading system for Iraq based on the principal of Superpave system, and increasing performance grade of product asphalt binder in Iraq using polymers without raising the viscosity of the binder. Two types of polymers are used, Plastomers, Functionalized Polyethylene (PE) which is developed by asphalt research group in Wisconsin University in the USA, and Elastomers, Styrene Butadiene Styrene (SBS) with and without cross linker. Mastercurve are drown for these modified binders, Rolling thin film aged, to show effects on rheological properties at high temperature for complex modulus (G*) and phase angle (δ). It concluded that 3.5% of Functionalized Polyethylene polymer (PE) is more effective than 4% of Styrene Butadiene Styrene (SBS) to shift up performance grade of local asphalt binder two grades to be PG (76-16). Furthermore, the viscosity of binders increasing about 200% when using 4 % SBS, while no significant effect on viscosity when using 3.5 % of PE, therefore, there is no need to increase temperature of mixing and compaction which may be effect on polymers In addition G*/sinδ is increased by a ratios of 1.6 to 2.96 for 2%, 4% respectively of SBS-based modifier (RTFO aged) and 1.4 to 3 for 2%, 3.5% respectively of PE-based polymers modifier. It can be seen that PE reduce G*.sinδ about 10%, while SBS increase G*.sinδ about 30% and PE reduces the stiffness of asphalt binder about 15 % at low temperature which make PE more effective, there is no significant effects on m-value.

Published: January 2024

Adsorption capacity of a waste biomass, date stones, for phenolic compounds such as phenol (Ph) and p-nitro phenol (PNPh) was investigated. The characteristics of such waste biomass were determined and found to have a surface area and iodine number of 495.71 m²/g and 475.88 mg/g, respectively. The effects of temperature, initial sorbate concentration, and contact time on the adsorption process were studied. Experimental equilibrium data for adsorption of Ph and PNPh on date stones were analyzed by the Langmuir, Freundlich and Sips isotherm models. The results show that the best fit was achieved with the Sips isotherm equation with maximum adsorption capacities of 147.09 and 179.62 mg/g for Ph and PNPh, respectively. The kinetic data were fitted to pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order and intraparticle diffusion models, and was found to follow closely the pseudo-second order model for both Ph and PNPh. The calculated thermodynamic parameters, namely AG, AH, and AS showed that adsorption of Ph and PNPh onto date stones was spontaneous and endothermic under examined conditions.

Published: January 2024

In the process of maintaining the metabolic processes of the gastrointestinal tract of ruminants, an important link is to ensure a complete feeding diet. The study of the use of betaine supplements in a form "protected" from the indirect effects of the microflora of the rumen showed positive dynamics in relation to the digestive processes, the microbial composition of the rumen and the intestines of sheep. In the conditions of the physiological yard of the Federal Science Center for Animal Husbandry named after Academy Member L.K. Ernst conducted a physiological experiment on ramshanks of crossbreeds of the Romanov breed and katadins, aged 8-9 months, with chronic scar fistulas according to Basov (n=3). In the control period, the animals received the main diet, in the experimental 1 – the main diet + unprotected betaine at a dosage of 0.05 g / kg of live weight, in the 2nd experimental period a "protected" betaine supplement at a dosage of 0.05 g / kg of live weight. The duration of each period was 30 days. During the accounting period, average daily stool samples were taken according to the generally accepted method. To study cicatricial digestion, at the end of each period, samples of the contents were taken from animals through the fistula of the scar by Basov. As a result of the use of both the "protected" and native forms of betaine, the mass of microorganisms of the scar content became higher than in the control period. When the "protected" form of betaine was added to the diet of animals, the overall digestibility of feed nutrients tended to improve. In the 2nd experimental period, compared with the control, the level of bifidobacteria in the large intestine of sheep increased by 1.63 CFU/g, the level of pathogenic yeast fungi decreased several times.

Authors: Stepura Е. , Ippolitova Т.
Published: January 2024

Purpose: to study the bioelectrical activity of the brain and determine the parameters of electroencephalograms in sports and untrained horses.

Materials and methods. The object of the study were horses aged from 2 to 20 years in the amount of 150 heads. The animals were in active training and were also used for rental training in horse riding; their average weight was 550.78 kg; the breeds were Oryol Trotter, Russian Trotter, American Trotter and Hanoverian. During EEG recording, horses were restrained using a halter at the junctions. Experiments were carried out in the morning or afternoon, 1 hour before feeding/training or 1 hour after. EEG registration was carried out with patch electrodes in 6 unipolar leads using a special patented Ippolitova / Gauss helmet for recording EEG in animals, the electrodes on which are located along the projections of different lobes of the brain, which allows non-invasively, without the use of sedatives and shaving hair, to record the electrical activity of the brain . EEG recording continued for 10-15 minutes. We assessed brain rhythms using the following indicators: Rhythm severity index (RSI) – the degree of manifestation of the rhythm, the percentage of time during which a given rhythm is recorded (%). Frequency – the number of complete oscillations performed per unit of time, sec. (Hz). Amplitude is the largest deviation (from the average) value of a quantity, the range of oscillations.

Results. As a result of the research and analysis of the obtained EEG data, waves of bioelectrical activity of the brain in horses were established in the following ranges: alpha rhythm (α-rhythm) – 7.1 – 13 Hz, amplitude up to 100 µV; beta-1 rhythm (low-frequency β-1 rhythm) – 13.1 – 25 Hz, amplitude – 3-5 µV; beta-2 rhythm (high-frequency β-2 rhythm) – 25.1 – 40 Hz, amplitude – 3-5 µV; delta rhythm (δ rhythm) – 0.3 – 4 Hz, amplitude up to 40 µV; theta rhythm (Ѳ-rhythm) – 4.1 – 7 Hz, amplitude about 30 µV; gamma rhythm (γ rhythm) – above 40.1 µV. When analyzing EEG rhythms in animals, the most pronounced spontaneous brain activity at rest in the horses studied is the delta rhythm in all leads and hemispheres. We observe oscillations with a frequency of 0.3–4 Hz and an amplitude of up to 40 μV. The waveform is regular, sinus. Such oscillations represent the delta rhythm.

Authors: Kudukhova D. , Gappoeva V. , Ktsoeva I. , Temiraev R. , Kozyrev S.
Published: January 2024

Purpose: to study the effect of antioxidants santoquine and vitamin E, included in the composition of wheat-sorghum-rapeseed type feed with a tolerant level of T-2 toxin, on the productivity and digestive processes of meat quail.

Materials and methods. The experiment was carried out on meat quails of the Pharaoh breed. At one day of age, according to the principle of analogous groups, 4 groups of 40 animals each were formed. Raised for meat until 42 days of age. Quails were individually weighed weekly to determine live weight gain and calculate feed costs per unit of production. After control slaughter at the age of 42 days, the activity of digestive enzymes: proteinases, amylases and cellulases was studied in the contents of the muscular stomach and duodenum of 5 animals from each group.

Results. In the course of the studies, new experimentally substantiated data were obtained on the effectiveness of reducing the risk of T-2 toxicosis in the body of meat quails due to the rational joint use of santoquin antioxidant drugs in the composition of mixed feeds of the wheat-sorghum-rapeseed type with a tolerant level of T-2 toxin at a dose of 150 g/ t and vitamin E at a dose of 25 thousand IU/t. Thanks to this, in the quails of the 3rd experimental group, there was an increase in the survival rate of the livestock by 7.8 %, and an increase in live weight by 13.19 % (P<0.05). The meat poultry of the 3rd experimental group had the best pay for feed in terms of live weight gain, having spent 12.01 % less feed to obtain 1 kg of gain compared to the quails of the control group. Combined additions of the tested antioxidants contributed to a significant (P<0.05) increase in the activity of proteinases, cellulases and amylases in the contents of the muscular stomach by 24.15, 33.30 and 18.18 % and in the duodenum - by 13, compared to the analogues of the control group. 58, 13.93 and 15.02%, respectively.
Direction of salmon aquaculture development in the world
Authors: Nikolaeva О. , Dementyeva N.
Published: January 2024

The growth of the world's population implies the search for alternative sources of nutrition. One such area is the development of aquaculture. The world aquaculture, as well as other branches of agriculture, has gone through stages of its formation from farming by primitive methods to use of modern technologies. Salmon farming occupies an important place in industrial fish farming, and the volume of farmed products is increasing every year. This review summarises the main milestones in the salmon aquaculture industry, describes the trends that have guided breeding programmes and shows the genetic approaches that have been used in fish farming. The introduction of genetic methods in salmonid fish breeding depends on the level of development of the countries where fish farms are located. Abroad there is a great experience of investment policy aimed at creation and introduction of projects up to the final (operational) stage of introduction of molecular genetics methods into salmon breeding, including the use of genomic selection. While in Russia the concept of genetic improvements in aquaculture is only being discussed.  In this review an important place is given to generalisation of the accumulated material on genetic methods of salmonid fish research, as well as directions of application of genetic markers in salmon farming. The issues of searching for candidate genes, quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with gaining muscle weight and fish resistance to diseases are discussed.  The directions and ways of solving breeding problems are shown. Intensive development of scientific approaches to aquaculture development abroad is a vector for setting goals to expand business investment in the development of molecular genetic approaches to salmonid fish breeding in Russia.

Authors: Kuzmina Т. , Starikova D.
Published: January 2024

Aim. Comprehensive analysis of the morphofunctional state of somatic (cumulus) and germ cells (oocytes) of Sus scrofa domesticus subjected to intraovarian vitrification using silicon dimethylglycerolate (SDMG) are presented.

Materials and methods. Fragments of porcine ovaries (FsPO) 15×20 mm in size were gradually kept in cryoprotective agents (CPA) prepared in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) with 20% fetal bovine serum (FBS): 25 min. in CPA-1 [7.5 % EG (ethylene glycol) with 7.5 % DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide)] and 15 min. in CPA-2 (15 % EG with 15 % DMSO and 0.5 M sucrose). The composition of the CPA-2 in experimental groups was modified by addition of SDMG (at concentrations of 2 %, 6 %, or 10 %). FsPO were stored in liquid nitrogen. FsPO were devitrified by exposure 1 minute in solution 1 (80 % PBS, 20 % FBS, 0.5 mol/l sucrose) and 5 minutes in solution 2 (80 % PBS, 0.25 mol/l sucrose). The following indicators of cryoresistance of devitrified cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were analyzed: degree of cumulus cells expansion; oocyte morphology and the functional status of lipidome in female gametes (fluorescence intensity of Nile red /lipid droplets complex - FILDs).

Results. The addition of SDMG into cryoprotective media reduced the level of denuded oocytes after vitrification. The level of gamete with different degree of cumulus cells expansion (low, medium, high) in the experimental group with 10 % SDMG tended to indicators in the group of native cells. The level of native oocytes with the signs of morphological degeneration (7.7%) had no significant differences with the level of intraovarian vitrified gametes with 10 % SDMG (11 %). The proportion of native oocytes with low FILDs (38.9 %) exceeded the level of oocytes with the above indicator in vitrified oocytes of the control (16.5 %) group and in experimental groups of cells with the addition of 6 % SDMG (4.8 %) and 10 % SDMG (11.8 %, P<0.001).

Conclusion. In general, comprehensive monitoring of indicators cryoresistance of COCs in Sus scrofa domesticus subjected to intraovarian vitrification revealed the cryoprotective properties of SDMG. The effects were dose-dependent and were expressed in the stabilization of oocyte-cumulus communication, a decrease in the level of oocytes with the signs of morphological degeneration, and features of the lipidome functioning in intraovarian vitrified female gametes using SDMG at various concentrations.

Authors: Vasiliev R.
Published: January 2024

Purpose:  the aim is to study the effect of the inclusion of the immunomodulator thymalin in the treatment regimen of genital mycoplasmosis of cattle on the immunological characteristics of vaginal secretions.

Materials and methods. For the experiment, three groups of pregnant cows were formed, 8 heads each. The first group – pregnant cows with genital mycoplasmosis for the treatment of which the antibiotic traksovet 100 (tulatromycin) was used at a dose of 2.5 mg per 1 kg of animal body weight, subcutaneously, once 40 days before the expected delivery. The second group - pregnant cows with genital mycoplasmosis for the treatment of which the antibiotic traksovet 100 was used at a dose of 2.5 mg per 1 kg of animal body weight, subcutaneously, once 40 days before the expected delivery and the immunomodulator timalin at a dose of 0.1 mg per 1 kg of animal body weight, intramuscularly, twice with an interval of 72 hours. The third group (control) – clinically healthy pregnant cows. In experimental groups of cows, 2 weeks after the start of treatment, the effectiveness of therapy was monitored by conducting a PCR test for Mycoplasma spp. Before the start of therapy, vaginal secretions were collected from the walls of the vagina in animals of all groups. Repeated secretion from the first and second experimental group of cows was carried out 14 days after the start of treatment. In vaginal secretions, the content of - Ig G, Ig M, Ig A, sIg A and their total amount were determined by radial immunodiffusion in Mancini gel, lysozyme activity and its reaction (pH) was determined.

Results. In the group of animals for the treatment of which the traxovet was used 2 weeks after the start of therapy, Mycoplasma spp. it was detected in 2 cows out of 8 (therapeutic efficacy was 75 %); in a group of cows where traxovet was used in combination with thymalin positive tests for Mycoplasma spp. there was no (therapeutic efficacy – 100 %). The use of an antibiotic for the treatment of cows with mycoplasmosis leads to the restoration to the level of healthy animals only Ig M and sIg A, whereas, when included in the thymalin therapy regimen, all the studied indicators reached their values in healthy cows.

Conclusion. The use of a combination of tulatromycin and thymalin for the treatment of cows with genital mycoplasmosis provides a higher percentage of recovery, and also contributes to the restoration of the immuno-biological properties of vaginal secretions.

Published: January 2024

The Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) has emerged as an indispensable instrument in public policy research, influencing the design, development, and implementation of diverse policies across multiple domains. Despite its growing application and influence, a thorough analysis and comprehension of its scholarly evolution and inter-disciplinary impact remain elusive. This study addressed this deficiency by conducting a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the NPF literature. We extracted and analyzed 178 documents from the Scopus database using the Bibliometrix R utility. The results demonstrate a substantial increase in NPF research over the years, as evidenced by the growing number of affiliations and collaborations between researchers and institutions. In addition, the co-occurrence network analysis uncovered a number of research themes and clusters, providing valuable insights into the NPF research focus. Additionally, the study traced the thematic evolution of the research domain over time, revealing significant shifts and trends in research topics. Our findings suggest that the scholarly landscape of NPF research is diverse, complex, and dynamic, spanning multiple academic disciplines and policy domains. In addition to enhancing our comprehension of the NPF research ecosystem, the results of this study provide valuable insights for future research directions and policy applications.

Northern Basque: The Hittite of Sino-Caucasian
Authors:   Evolution of Human Languages Project, Bengtson John ,   Association for the Study of Language in Prehistory
Published: January 2024

In 1994 Nikolaev & Starostin published their reconstruction of Proto-North Caucasian (PNC) and Proto-East Caucasian (PEC), in which they proposed several laryngeal consonants, with direct or indirect reflexes (e.g. accentuation) in modern North Caucasian languages. Recent comparisons of PNC and PEC with Basque have revealed that the northern dialects of Basque – in Lapurdi, Low Navarre, and Zuberoa (Soule) – preserve a /h/ sound in the same words (i.e., putative cognates) where laryngeals are proposed for PNC, often in the same position in the word, and also in transposed positions. These comparisons (a) demonstrate the extreme conservatism of Northern Basque in this respect, and (b) provide compelling corroborative evidence of a genetic relationship between Basque and North Caucasian. The /h/ attested in Northern Basque is thus analogous to the /ḫ/ of Hittite, as a relic phoneme that confirms certain phonetic phenomena in more distantly related languages.
Accentological observations on the reconstruction of the Late Common Slavic dialect of Pannonia
Authors:   University of Kansas, Greenberg Marc , Habijanec Sinisa ,   Ľudovít Štúr Institute of Linguistics, Slovak Academy of Sciences
Published: January 2024

The paper represents the authors’ first attempt to collect the accentual peculiarities recoverable from the extinct Late Common Slavic dialect traditionally named “Pannonian” Slavic as a prequel to their entry the topic for the Encyclopedia of Slavic Languages and Linguistics. The difficulty of defining this dialect is acknowledged (distinct, transitional), for which reason the authors take an agnostic view, focusing not just on the traditional notion of the Slavic speech community that disappeared from the Carpathian Basin with language shift to Hungarian from the 9–12 cc., but also the surviving dialect areas that might be provisionally labeled “circum-Pannonian,” which potentially includes the Czecho-Slovak areal, SW Ukrainian, Slovene, Kajkavian, and W peripheral areas of Štokavian.
Is Algowakashan (Amerasiatic) the Fifth Branch of Borean Megafamily?
Authors: Krougly-Encke Nikita
Published: January 2024

The article is based on Sergei L. Nikolaev’s papers that include initially Borean etymologies for most of 423 Algonquian-Wakashan (Algowakashan) etymologies, the latter including Nivkh and Algic, more distant Wakashan and Chemakuan, as well as even more distant Salishan. The author proposes the term “Amerasiatic” for this macrofamily. Borean is presented as a megafamily including Eurasiatic and Afroasiatic (both forming Nostratic), Sino-Caucasian (or Dene-Caucasian), and additionaly Sumerian. In his early work the author also included the Austric macrofamily as the fourth branch of Borean, hence the title of the article. The current article presents a 110-word list of Algowakashan or Nivkh-Algic level (with 9 missing semantemes), proposing 190 Borean etymologies.
More on the issue of the origin of the Lithuanian inessive and illative cases
Authors:   Institute of Polish Language, Polish Academy of Science, Oslon Mikhail
Published: January 2024

The four so-called secondary locatives in Lithuanian, namely the adessive, allative, inessive, and illative, go back to various combinations of inherited case forms with postpositions. Some of them raise questions, particularly in regard to the basic case forms used in the original spatial expressions, as more than one historical interpretation is often possible. This article is a follow-up to Bolotov, Oslon 2019, where the acute in some case forms (previously unaccounted for) is explained by regular sound changes that occured at a recent time before syncopated or apocopated syllables. It appears that one can address along the same lines the perplexing array of accentual variants of the inessive (the only productive locative case in standard Lithuanian) and illative (a fullfledged case now only in peripheral eastern dialects). It is argued that by starting with two “proto-cases” for both the inessive and illative (which yields the putative inessive, illative, superessive, and superlative) and applying all the relevant sound changes to these a priori combinations, one can arrive at a synchronic state similar to what is actually attested (with the many accentual variants more or less predicted). This procedure was specifically conceived to be purely mechanical, excluding any analogical changes and intended to rely solely on phonology. The results seem to indicate that this is not an impossible scenario, yet further investigation should rely on a more detailed analysis of the accentual properties of individual morphemes (including the old locative markers) as well as dialectological considerations (such as the potentially disparate chronology of the syncope and apocope across Lithuanian dialects).
Accentuation of i-verbs in two Old Shtokavian manuscripts of the 15th century
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Pekunova Irina
Published: January 2024

The article presents full description of the i-verbs accentual system in two 15th cent. Serbian manuscripts and demonstrates the advantages of the canon/aberration technique in approaching the analysis of the accentual grammar of the medieval Slavic manuscripts. The observed ratio of canonical vs. aberrant accents makes it possible to determine a dialectal localization of the systems under consideration. Thus, while it was previously assumed that the accentual system of these manuscripts can be considered as the ancestor of the accentual system of the Central Shtokavian dialects (specifically, those upon which the modern literary variety of Serbian is based), I argue that it should be, instead, recognized as representing another medieval Shtokavian dialect, apparently belonging to the South eastern region.

Academics Are More Specific, and Practitioners More Sensitive, in Forecasting Interventions to Strengthen Democratic Attitudes

Published: January 2024

Concern over democratic erosion has led to a proliferation of proposed interventions to strengthen democratic attitudes in the United States. Resource constraints, however, prevent implementing all proposed interventions. One approach to identify promising interventions entails leveraging domain experts, who have knowledge regarding a given field, to forecast the effectiveness of candidate interventions. We recruit experts who develop general knowledge about a social problem (academics), experts who directly intervene on the problem (practitioners), and non-experts from the public to forecast the effectiveness of interventions to reduce partisan animosity, support for undemocratic practices, and support for partisan violence. Comparing 14,076 forecasts submitted by 1,181 forecasters against the results of a mega-experiment (n=32,059) that tested 75 hypothesized effects of interventions, we find that both types of experts outperformed members of the public, though experts differed in how they were accurate. While academics’ predictions were more specific (i.e., they identified a larger proportion of ineffective interventions, and had fewer false positive forecasts), practitioners’ predictions were more sensitive (i.e., they identified a larger proportion of effective interventions, and had fewer false negative forecasts). Consistent with this, practitioners were better at predicting best-performing interventions, while academics were superior in predicting which interventions performed worst. Our paper highlights the importance of differentiating types of experts and types of accuracy. We conclude by discussing factors that affect whether sensitive or specific forecasters are preferable, such as the relative cost of false positives and negatives, and the expected rate of intervention success.

O ACONTECIMENTO LINGUÍSTICO DA REDAÇÃO MODELO ENEM: IMPACTOS NA PRODUÇÃO TEXTUAL DO ENSINO MÉDIO BRASILEIRO
Authors: Galvao Carolina Jardim
Published: January 2024

Neste trabalho, há um levantamento histórico das mudanças políticas e sociais ocorridas no Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (ENEM) e os impactos que elas trouxeram para a escrita dos alunos nos anos finais da Educação Básica, convergindo – ou não – para os prescritos tanto na Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BRASIL, 2018) quanto nos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais do Ensino Médio (BRASIL, 2000). As alterações no número de questões, no tempo de prova, na função da avaliação e a quase universalização do exame como principal meio de entrada nas faculdades nacionais influenciaram as condições de produção do discurso (PÊCHEUX, 1997 [1975]), as quais permitiram que estratégias de enrijecimento e padronização da escrita fossem não só viáveis como também rendáveis. A fim de analisar tal movimento de estruturação do texto, a História das Ideias Linguísticas e a Análise do Discurso foram utilizadas como arcabouço teórico lançado sobre o arquivo (ORLANDI, 2001) de análise, que são espelhos de redações do ENEM (BRASIL, 2012; 2017), inicialmente, das edições de 2011 a 2016. Por meio da comparação linguístico-discursiva das redações exemplares que circulam na internet com as nota 1000 liberadas pelo Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira (Inep) – órgão responsável pela elaboração, aplicação e avaliação do ENEM –, foram identificados casos que poderiam ser considerados como plágio, mas que não foram penalizados, ao contrário, foram bonificados com a pontuação máxima no vestibular. Para mensurar a trajetória de construção da chamada “Redação Modelo ENEM” – que propulsionou a criação de estruturas-padrão a serem reproduzidas em qualquer tema desse vestibular – foram evocados os conceitos de acontecimento (MARIANI, 1996), acontecimento linguístico (ZOPPI FONTANA, 2009), “pega” (MORFINO, 2006) e gramatização (AUROUX, 1992), além do materialismo do encontro (ALTHUSSER, 2005).
