THE EFFECTS OF CULTURAL BASED TEXT TYPES IN READING COMPREHENSION
Authors: Thirunavukarasu Indhira , Raja Harun Raja Nor Safinas
Published: June 2021

Background and Purpose: This research aims to investigate the effects of Malay, Chinese and Indian cultural based text types on reading comprehension.
 
Methodology: An exploratory case study research design was employed to explore the use of cultural schemata in reading comprehension of three types of cultural text format: narrative, descriptive and info graphic. The purposive sampling method was used to select participants based on their ethnicities, English proficiency level, and their scores in prior knowledge assessment and retelling assessment.   A total of 15 students, between 11- 12 years old, were selected. The retelling technique in written form, a comprehension test and an interview protocol were used as instruments to gather data in this research and they were analysed both quantitatively and qualitatively.
 
Findings: The overall findings have shown that the comprehension test scores showed better performance in info graphic texts. However, the retelling assessment scores showed better performance in retelling narrative texts. The participants’ main reason for text incomprehensibility was due to the unfamiliar cultural content regardless of the types of text format
.
Contributions: This study aids teachers in their pedagogical decisions when selecting and adapting cultural texts for reading comprehension
 
Keywords: Comprehension test, cultural schemata, reading comprehension, retelling assessment, text types.

TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN MALAYSIA
Authors: Baba Rozita , Abdul Karim Zulkefly , Abdul-Majid Mariani , Sulaiman Noorasiah
Published: June 2021

Background and Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the level of technical efficiency of Malaysia’s secondary education. Education efficiency has become an important issue since the education sector is the recipient of high priority budget allocation. An evaluation of whether the budget distribution for secondary education is technically efficient is necessary because secondary education represents almost 40% of the national education budget. 
 
Methodology: The study applied the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) in examining the level of technical efficiency for a sample of 626 secondary schools from four selected states, namely, Selangor, Melaka, Kedah, and Terengganu. The sample was further split into schools from developed and less developed states, and urban and rural areas.  
 
Findings:  The results revealed that secondary schools in the four sample states were technically inefficient (almost 98%).  Most schools were at a moderate level of technical efficiency (score range between 0.5-0.79). Interestingly, schools in rural areas and less-developed states showed better technical efficiency than those in urban areas and developed states. Given the government's total expenditure, academic achievement could be increased by almost 30 percent with an improvement in inefficiency.
 
Contributions: The study's fundamental implications are that inefficient secondary schools need to increase their efficiency by ensuring effective budget spending and adequate expenditure distribution monitoring. More schools need to be constructed or repaired, and old schools/buildings upgraded. The sector also needs to expedite compliance with the 17:1 student-teacher ratio set by the Education Ministry to improve teaching delivery quality.
 
Keywords: Data envelopment analysis, government spending, secondary school, student and teacher ratio, technical efficiency.

THE TURKISH AND AZERBAIJANI LAWS ON UNFAIR COMPETITION VIA STANDARDISED TERMS OF CONTRACT - ASSESSMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS
Authors: Gunay Ece Deniz , Gunay Gozde Engin
Published: June 2021

This paper presents a comparative analysis between Turkish and Azerbaijani law systems and it attempts to evaluate whether the usage of standardised terms of contract in a way that causes the infringement of the principle of good faith forming unfair competition. Standardised terms are pre-prepared without negotiating with the other contracting parties. The paper highlights that the two countries have strong connections, especially in economic and commercial terms which render even more important convergence of legal regulations. In this respect, upon examining the regulations on standardised terms and unfair competition and considering the fact that the two systems have similar approaches regarding standardised terms, the paper suggests that the usage of standardised terms in a manner that violates good faith should be qualified as unfair competition under Azerbaijani law in accordance with Article 55/1(f) of the Turkish Commercial Code. The paper assesses the issue in conjunction with the Turkish Commercial Code, Turkish Code of Obligations, the Civil Code of Azerbaijan (Mulki Mecelle) and Code on Unfair Competition. The scope of the protection that is envisaged in the relevant Turkish and Azerbaijani codes is studied from consumers’ and merchants’ aspects, respectively. The paper inter alia assesses that protecting all market participants is the most effective way to provide market balance. The paper aims to contribute to the improvement of the economic relations of Turkey and Azerbaijan via its suggestion on harmonising the two law systems in terms of unfair competition regulations.
 
Keywords: Banks, merchant-consumer, principle of good faith, standardised terms of contract, unfair competition.

THE PRESENCE AND INSINUATION OF SOCIAL CANCER AMONG SEA INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN MALAYSIA
Authors: Zal W. A. Amir
Published: June 2021

Background and Purpose: Disturbances that hinder community development affect social capital. I refer to such disturbances as social cancer. This article aims at explaining the existence of social cancers, their typologies, and implications for Sea Indigenous People’s community development through economic activities.
 
Methodology: This exploratory case study involved 12 Sea Indigenous People in Johor, Malaysia. Data obtained through interviews were analysed using a thematic approach.
 
Findings: The findings revealed four types of social cancer in the community’s economic activities: 1) jealousy, 2) prejudice, 3) slander, and 4) defamation. Those social cancers had direct impacts on community development, specifically forming sabotage actions, negligence in using community capital, reducing community cohesiveness, causing a decline in the production of social innovation, and the existence of a hanging community and the death of the community.
 
Contributions: This study calls for a self-realisation mechanism to be introduced to community members so that their capacity for social capital can be developed to overcome the social cancer.
Keywords: Community development, self-realisation mechanism, social cancer, social capital.

DICHOTOMY OF LANGUAGE & THOUGHT IN THE INTERPRETATION OF METAPHOR IN THE QURAN
Authors: Khan Sardaraz , Ali Roslan
Published: June 2021

Previous literature either deciphered the literary and rhetorical aspects of metaphor or focused on its conceptual basis in the interpretation of the Quran. No attempt has so far been made to harness the linguistic and conceptual metaphor approaches to provide a comprehensive interpretation of the metaphors in the Quran. This paper reviews the existing literature on the interpretation of metaphor in the Quran from different theoretical perspectives. The review reveals that the application of different theoretical approaches has led to the dissociation of language and thought in the interpretation of metaphors. The linguistic approaches miss the bulk of conventional metaphors, while the cognitive approaches ignore the linguistic aspects of metaphor. The findings also reveal that the linguistic studies of metaphor concern themselves with the rhetorical beauty of the Holy Quran, while the conceptual metaphor studies explore the generic categorization of concepts. This paper calls for a more elaborate mechanism, which can account for both the linguistic and conceptual aspects of metaphor, to fill the gap between the linguistic and conceptual knowledge in the existing literature for a comprehensive interpretation of metaphors in the Quran.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF RECIPROCAL TEACHING AS READING COMPREHENSION INTERVENTION: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Dew Ting Pick , Swanto Suyansah , Pang Vincent
Published: June 2021

Background and Purpose: This paper presents a comprehensive review of the research on reading comprehension interventions for ESL learners. Although numerous reviews have reported the effectiveness of reciprocal teaching in improving reading outcomes, only few reviews focused on the use of these strategies in ESL contexts. Hence, this review identified, evaluated and synthesized relevant literature in search of the effectiveness of reciprocal teaching and the features that are associated with improved reading comprehension outcomes.
 
Methodology: Guided by Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), a thorough search was performed on five major databases using the search terms “reciprocal teaching” or “reciprocal reading” and “reading comprehension” or “text comprehension”.
 
Findings: The comprehensive search resulted in a total of 18 articles. The analysis coded these articles  into eight main themes with four main themes concentrated on the features of the reciprocal teaching interventions: (a) purposes, (b) learning environment, (c) comprehension-monitoring, and (d) scaffolding, and another four main themes on the outcomes of the interventions: (e) results, (f) comprehension outcome measures, (g) reading strategies, and (h) conceptual change.
 
Contributions: Conclusively, reciprocal teaching fulfilled the key features of effective intervention as significant gains were mostly observed in the research using reciprocal teaching as intervention. The versatility of reciprocal teaching makes the technique adaptable to learners of varying backgrounds, ages and levels of education.
 
Keywords: reciprocal teaching, reading strategies, interventions, ESL learners, comprehension.

RESILIENCE, PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT, AND LIFE SATISFACTION AMONG MALAYSIAN COLLEGE STUDENTS
Authors: Md Khalid Norfaezah
Published: June 2021

Background and Purpose: Resilience is an essential element of life satisfaction. Individuals with high resilience are normally able to cope with a problem and find its solutions. Resilience is critical in helping students to achieve life satisfaction and good mental health. In addition, social support has been found as one of the good predictors in achieving life satisfaction. However, the underlying mechanism by which resilience is associated with life satisfaction has been under examined. The current study investigates the association between resilience and life satisfaction among Malaysian college students, focusing on social support as a factor mediating this association.
 
Methodology: A total of 491 students participated in this study. The data were collected using a set of questionnaires. The mediation model was tested using structural equational modelling.
 
Findings: Results showed that the total effects of resilience on life satisfaction were significant. Furthermore, social support mediated the influence of resilience on life satisfaction. Therefore, improving resilience and enhancing social support may increase Malaysian college students’ satisfaction in life.
 
Contributions: The present study has implications on enhancing life satisfaction among college students. Finally, the study highlights the importance of social support in the implementation of intervention programmes with the goal of enhancing life satisfaction.
 
Keywords: Social support, Malaysian, college students, life satisfaction, resilience.

USING GOOGLE SEARCH FOR ENGLISH GRAMMAR LEARNING
Authors: Tavakoli Mona
Published: June 2021

Background/Purpose: Second/foreign language learners face problems in different areas such as correct word usage, grammatical accuracy, and pronunciation fluency. This paper responds to one of these problems by investigating the impact of strategic Google Search on Iranian English as a foreign language (EFL) learners’ grammar learning.
 
Methodology: Sixty Iranian intermediate EFL learners from a private English language institute in Isfahan, Iran were selected and randomly divided into two groups. To find which areas of grammar are most problematic among the participants, a multiple-choice grammar pretest which was validated by five English experts was given to them. Then 10 questions that most participants answered wrongly were selected as the most challenging ones. During 10 class sessions, the participants were taught how to select the correct choice through Google Search. In fact, each participant in the class had a laptop connected to the internet. The researcher taught them how to search on Google strategically and the participants found out that in Google sites there are some sentences which are grammatically wrong and they should not trust them. They learned how to search strategically for the correct choices. At the end of the sessions they answered a posttest containing different questions but in the same grammatical areas. The pretest and posttest both were conducted while the participants were connected to internet sites.
 
Findings: Data analysis was done through running t-test using SPSS software and statistically significant difference was revealed. The findings showed that those participants who were taught how to strategically use Google Search performed better in the posttest. Therefore, the results revealed that correct Google Search had improved the Iranian intermediate EFL learners’ grammar knowledge. 
 
Contributions: This study has several implications for both language learners and teachers regarding the use of Google platform for English grammar learning. In addition, it contributes to the body of knowledge that strategic Google Search does not only improve the Iranian EFL learners’ English grammar but also make them less dependent on teachers thus promoting autonomous learning.
 
Keywords: Google search, EFL learners, grammar learning, intermediate EFL learners, Iran, web-based instruction.

Authors: Odebode Aminat Adeola , James Joke Felicia , Adegunju Kabir Adewale , Julia J.
Published: June 2021

Background and Purpose: Globally, many married adults engage in infidelity. However, the repercussions of the act appear not palatable for couples, their children and the society at large. This study therefore, investigated the aftermaths of infidelity as expressed by literate working class women in Lagos State. The study also examined whether age and type of marriage would affect the respondents’ views.
 
Methodology: The descriptive design was adopted for this study. A total of 300 literate working class women were drawn from the target population using purposive and simple random sampling techniques. A researcher-developed questionnaire tagged Aftermaths of Infidelity (AIQ) was used to collect data. The instrument was validated by five experts in Nigeria and Nusantara while its reliability was established through test re-test reliability method and a coefficient of 0.74 was gotten. The data collected were analyzed using t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) at 0.05 level.
 
Findings: Results showed that divorce, unhappiness, contact of sexually transmitted diseases, emotional disability, hatred in the family, unwanted pregnancy, distrust and suspicion in the family, psychological trauma in children, and giving birth to illegitimate children are some of the aftermaths of infidelity as expressed by the literate working class women. Similarly, age and marriage type did not influence the expression of literate working class women in Lagos State on infidelity.
 
Contributions: Infidelity has devastating aftermaths. Counsellors should enlighten couples on the aftermaths of infidelity; they should enlighten them on the negative effects which infidelity has on the home, children and the society in general.
 
Keywords: Aftermath, infidelity, literate working class women, Lagos State, Nigeria.

ORDINAL REGRESSION FOR MODELLING THE FAMILY WELL-BEING AMONG THE MALAYSIANS
Authors: Muhammad Sapri Noor Azlin , Ibrahim Kamarulzaman , Abu Bakar Mohd Aftar , Mohd Ariff Noratiqah
Published: June 2021

Background and Purpose: Understanding factors which affect the level of family well-being is important as it contributes to effective decision making among the policymakers to improve the family lives as well as to strengthen the family institution. Accordingly, this line of research is gaining attention. This study develops an ordinal regression model which identifies demographic, economic and social factors that are significant in explaining the status of family well-being. 
 
Methodology: Data involving 2,808 respondents from a nationwide survey conducted by the National Population and Family Development Board of Malaysia in 2011 were used in this study. Ordinal regression model was implemented to describe the three levels of family well-being.
 
Findings: The national survey reported that high level of family well-being was experienced by 76.3 per cent of the respondents, followed by moderate (18.4%) and low (5.3%). The fitted ordinal regression model found that ethnic background, family relationship, community relationship, health and safety levels, economic situation of the family, religious practice, housing, and environment are significantly related to family well-being. Meanwhile, it was found that the level of income is not a significant factor in determining the level of family well-being.  
 
Contributions: There are a limited number of studies on the application of ordinal regression for modelling the level of family well-being, particularly with covariates involving the demographic and social characteristics of the respondents. This study fills in the gap in the literature where the ordinal regression model provides useful information for policymakers to enhance the status of family well-being in Malaysia via various policy initiatives.
 
Keywords: Family well-being, Ordinal Regression Model, ordinal data, Proportional Odds Model.

De embudos, filtros y brújulas: economía, técnica y subjetividad en Spotify
Authors: Bazzara Lucas
Published: June 2021

En el presente trabajo se optará por hacer un análisis en profundidad de Spotify, por tratarse de la máxima referencia entre las plataformas de streaming musical, hecho que se constata en su masividad de uso y posición de mercado. Esto no impedirá dar una definición lo suficientemente abarcativa que remita a las plataformas de streaming musical en general, pero tal definición funcionará como punto de partida desde el cual se examinará en detalle su caso económica y culturalmente más emblemático. De esta suerte, y sobre la base de la articulación que opera en Spotify entre economía, técnica y subjetividad, las preguntas que guiarán el desarrollo del trabajo serán: ¿Cuál es su modelo de negocios, o qué lógica de mercado pone en juego? ¿Cuál es su modelo subjetivo, o qué tipo de usuario u oyente ideal configura? Y ¿De qué tecnologías computacionales se vale para unir los intereses de las industrias y los usuarios? Como se verá, términos como freemium, machine learning, sistema de recomendación, perfil y personalización resultarán claves para desentrañar esta lógica de plataforma.

"Negros, mafiosos y ortibas". Masculinidades y proxenetas en los relatos de varones que pagan por sexo en Argentina
Authors: Morcillo Santiago , Martynowskyj Estefanía , De Stéfano Barbero Matías
Published: June 2021

Desde principios del siglo XXI la prostitución ha vuelto a estar en el centro del debate público y feminista. Sin embargo, la investigación desde las ciencias sociales se ha ocupado relativamente poco de dos actores importantes: clientes y “terceras partes”. En este contexto, algunas perspectivas construyen al mercado sexual como un espacio de sociabilidad masculina donde todos los personajes masculinos actúan como “socios”. En este trabajo nos interesa indagar en la manera en que la figura del proxeneta aparece en los relatos de los varones que pagan por sexo y pone de relieve un conjunto de tensiones para su masculinidad y su sexualidad. Para ello nos basamos en dos fuentes: entrevistas en profundidad a varones que pagan por sexo y una etnografía en foros virtuales de comercio sexual. En el análisis veremos cómo la representación generizada del “fiolo” (proxeneta) que circula entre los varones que pagan por sexo se articula con el uso y los significados del dinero, de la violencia y de las emociones habilitando a repensar las relaciones entre masculinidades en el mercado sexual.
Sociología como disciplina de nivel medio en Argentina, Brasil y Uruguay
Authors: Cuestas Paula
Published: June 2021

Este artículo busca describir las formas en que la Sociología se constituyó como una disciplina específica en el nivel medio en Argentina, Brasil y Uruguay, sin ahondar en las diferencias regionales al interior de cada territorio nacional. Para ello se analizarán los contextos particulares de su surgimiento en cada país, así como los modos en que actualmente se imparte la asignatura en las escuelas a partir de un breve análisis de distintos recursos aúlicos como manuales, normativas como los diseños curriculares o las últimas leyes nacionales educativas, de cada caso. Luego de una breve introducción, se recupera cada una de las experiencias en particular para, a continuación, hacer un análisis comparativo a partir de lo presentado. El trabajo muestra cómo la sociología, en tanto asignatura de nivel medio, ha sido asociada a distintas tradiciones o influida por otras disciplinas, en cada país y en el contexto particular de su surgimiento. Nos guía la pregunta por el sentido de esta materia en las aulas escolares y su potencial para promover el “pensamiento crítico”.
La “Teoría Crítica del Discurso” como herramienta metodológica para la investigación en teoría social
Authors: Fraga Eugenia
Published: June 2021

En este trabajo daremos forma a una metodología particular dentro del trabajo en teoría social, llamada "Teoría Crítica del Discurso". Esta metodología se inscribe dentro de la discusión abierta en los últimos años acerca de los modos y técnicas de trabajo teórico en las ciencias sociales, y resulta de una combinación entre la Historia Conceptual, la Teoría Crítica y el Análisis Discursivo. Se estudiará especialmente el antecedente de la corriente conocida como Análisis Crítico del Discurso o ACD, de Norman Fairclough y Ruth Wodak, y se pasará revista a los aportes de autores fundamentales de la teoría sociológica crítica a las reflexiones en torno al lenguaje y el discurso, como ser Max Horkheimer, Charles Wright Mills, Herbert Marcuse, Alvin Gouldner y Jürgen Habermas.
Estrategias de conciliación trabajo productivo y reproductivo en parejas de doble ingreso de la ciudad de Talca, Chile
Authors: Domínguez-Amorós Màrius , Aravena Veja Verónica
Published: June 2021

En un escenario de intensas transformaciones sociales y familiares, y de búsqueda de equilibrio en la distribución de roles al interior de las familias, la conciliación del trabajo productivo y reproductivo emerge como un elemento central en el desarrollo social de los países. Este estudio busca contribuir a dilucidar los tipos de estrategias de conciliación del trabajo productivo-reproductivo, (según presencia o no de hijos/as y algunas variables socio demográficas de interés) utilizadas por parejas de doble ingreso de la ciudad de Talca (Chile), para conciliar ambas esferas y su posible relación con variables sociodemográficas como género, grupo socioeconómico o nivel educacional. La metodología incluyó entrevistas semiestructuradas, seleccionando a 15 parejas de doble ingreso, menores de 45 años, en las cuales ambos integrantes trabajaran fuera del hogar, con el objetivo de identificar la perspectiva del sujeto estudiado, categorías recurrentes en sus discursos y los motivos de sus actos sobre la base de un marco comparable, pero flexible. A pesar que los principales resultados constatan una mayor participación de los varones en las tareas domésticas, su presencia está marcada por una lógica patriarcal que define su rol desde la dominación en la esfera reproductiva.
La virtualidad en las intervenciones asistidas con animales
Authors: Iacoviello Mercedes , Ringach Paula , Chichotky Valeria
Published: June 2021

En este trabajo se presenta una primera aproximación al proceso de virtualización de las intervenciones asistidas con animales (IAA) en Iberoamérica, que surgió como recurso de emergencia para sortear la crisis sanitaria durante la pandemia de COVID-19. De un relevamiento realizado en dos encuentros virtuales con profesionales y guías de IAA se desprende que las experiencias de virtualización se dieron mayoritariamente bajo el formato de teleconsultas individuales desde consultorios privados de psicoterapia, psicopedagogía y terapia ocupacional asistida con perros. Fueron menos frecuentes las intervenciones en centros de salud y educación, debido a barreras logísticas e institucionales. Los participantes se mostraron favorablemente sorprendidos por los resultados de las IAA virtuales, que habían encarado con cierto escepticismo. El formato virtual podría seguir vigente como estrategia complementaria para garantizar el acceso a ciertas poblaciones o para sortear situaciones que impidan la modalidad presencial.
Veinte años de la iniciativa para la Integración en Infraestructura Regional Suramericana
Authors: Álvarez Álvaro
Published: June 2021

América del Sur experimentó en los últimos veinte años un proceso de reconversión de la infraestructura de transporte, energía y comunicaciones que ha rediseñado las dinámicas de los flujos regionales y que se inscribió en el marco de un proceso de debate y transformación de los paradigmas de integración.

La Iniciativa para la Integración en Infraestructura Regional Suramericana puede caracterizarse como el proyecto de interconexión física más importante desarrollado en la historia de América del Sur, con un fuerte impacto en el ordenamiento del territorio y determinado sobre todo por las dinámicas del mercado internacional.

La integración en infraestructura no se desarrolla al margen de las disputas geopolíticas y los intereses económicos de los principales actores del sistema internacional. Sin embargo, la iniciativa ha logrado avanzar pese a los cambios en las relaciones de fuerza en diversas escalas, ampliando incluso su cartera de proyectos de manera significativa y transitando del regionalismo abierto a proyectos de integración más autónomos como la Unión Suramericana de Naciones, sin alterar sus ejes de articulación territorial ni sus proyectos prioritarios.

Este trabajo aborda de manera articulada la dimensión histórica de la integración con el impacto geográfico de las mega obras de infraestructura en la región.
Salud Vocal o Salud Fonatoria
Authors: Díaz Claudia
Published: June 2021

En muchos sectores de la Fonoaudiología se trabaja intensamente sobre la salud del proceso que genera la emisión vocal y el habla en el ámbito educativo, preventivo y clínico. Aunque este concepto en principio resulta claro, no siempre lo es o, al menos, no contamos con una mirada unívoca. Esta noción, como todas, depende de un enfoque que siempre se posiciona desde algún lugar, modelo o paradigma. La intervención profesional en salud, en cualquier ámbito, depende en gran parte del concepto que cada profesional tenga sobre la salud en general. Este concepto ha sufrido transformaciones a lo largo de su historia, por lo que se trata de un término dinámico y, por ende, relativo. Su estudio puede colaborar en la comprensión de lo que fue y es la salud en cada grupo social y en cada época, a lo que se le suma, al hablar de la voz como resultado sonoro de un proceso, la importancia que tiene como forma comunicativa y de identidad en las personas. En la intervención fonoaudiológica orientadora, preventiva y terapéutica podríamos replantear y enriquecer enfoques, recorriendo el concepto de salud y retomando ciertas cuestiones en relación a su marco teórico y sus prácticas. Para esto, puede ser enriquecedor plantearnos algunas preguntas: ¿De qué hablamos cuando nos referimos a la salud y, más precisamente, a la salud vocal? ¿La salud de la que hablamos es vocal o fonatoria? ¿Los parámetros que manejamos son universales y permanentes? ¿Se adecuan a este momento y al siglo XXI?
Relatos de espera: experiencias musicoterapéuticas en el Hospital de Quemados
Authors: Vesco Carolina , Marasco Adriana Iris
Published: June 2021

Este artículo expone algunas reﬂexiones en torno a la conformación y el desarrollo de un dispositivo musicoterapéutico en la sala de espera de un hospital público. El objetivo de las intervenciones se dirigió a trabajar dos aspectos relevantes: la espera y el dolor como situaciones que provocan padecimiento subjetivo. Experiencias que se desarrollaron en la sala de espera: apertura, menú de canciones, jingle preventivo, serenata, musicalización de la sala. Seleccionamos tres indicadores producto de nuestra observación: tiempo, sonido y cuerpo. Con la experiencia musical el tiempo se volvía previsible, se creaba un ambiente sonoro con sentido y se colaboraba a desviar la atención sobre el foco de dolor. Instalar prácticas expresivo#subjetivantes invitó a asumir una posición activa, a partir de involucrarse en actividades que acompañaran e interpelaran la situación de espera.

PREVENÇÃO DE INFECÇÕES SEXUALMENTE TRANSMISSÍVEIS
Authors: Ferrarese Barbosa Alessandra , Abdalla Teixeira Ivan
Published: June 2021

As Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis (IST) estão entre os problemas de saúde pública mais comuns em todo o mundo. O termo Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis passou a ser adotado em substituição à expressão Doenças Sexualmente Transmissível (DST), para destacar a possibilidade de uma pessoa sem sinais e sintomas ter uma infecção e transmitir. Dentre as IST, as mais comuns são: sífilis, gonorreia, HPV (papilomavírus humano), herpes simples, tricomoníase, candidíase, gardnerella, hepatite B e C, e HIV/Aids (Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana/síndrome da imunodeficiência adquirida). Ainda, outras infecções como hepatite A e amebíase são importantes entre LGBTI+ por terem transmissão por meio da prática de sexo oral-anal.

Enquanto escrevo estas linhas – durante a mais dura pandemia deste começo de século – o Brasil se aproxima do revoltante número de 450 mil vítimas fatais da COVID-19. A vida de pessoas idosas, nesta conjuntura crítica, tem estado profundamente vulnerável. Tendo em mente a heterogeneidade nas experiências de velhices, pessoas idosas que são pobres, periféricas, negras, indígenas, LGBTI+, com deficiências, com comorbidades e moradoras de regiões sem acesso regular a serviços de saúde têm sido atingidas com particular força.

The study investigated the suitability of a novel strain Lactiplantibacillus plantarum EK11 for obtaining fermented tomato and beetroot juices with improved functional potential. EK11 had the capability of dynamic acidification of pasteurized vegetable beverages. The lowest values of pH were noted in juices after 48 h of fermentation with the probiotic L. plantarum 299v (pH=3.72±0.01 in beet juice and pH=3.43±.0.01 in tomato juice). The fermentation increased the lycopene content in tomato juices from 27.90±0.31µg mL−1 (after 24-h fermentation by strain EK11) to 116.86 ±0.19 µg mL−1 (final products obtained using strain 299v after 7-day cold storage). The process contributed to changes in the betanin and vulgaxanthin-I concentration in beetroot beverages. All fermented products exhibited antioxidative activity, i.e. 50% inhibition of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl free radicals. Moreover, three genes involved in the biosynthesis of bacteriocins were detected in the novel strain EK11, which exhibits functional and technological potential for the production of fermented foods.
Recent Tendencies in Waste-Based Aggregates in Concrete Production
Authors: Thomas Marta
Published: June 2021

The development of construction and the growing popularity of concrete as a building material cause a continuous increase in the demand for non-renewable raw material such as aggregate. This paper aims to analyse the possibility of using various alternative aggregates for the production of concrete. In the first part of article a detailed analysis of the European aggregate production has thus been carried out and the requirements for concrete aggregates according to European Standards have been also presented. One of the goals of sustainable waste management is to reduce landfills by finding new ways to reuse and disposing waste. Therefore in the second part of article the waste-based aggregates have been analysed. Moreover, various types of alternative aggregates such as recycled and manufactured aggregates are discussed in detail. The article presents also the properties of selected alternative aggregates with a proposal of pre-treatment. Based on the presented analyses it can be concluded that each new waste that is sourced as aggregate in concrete should undergo detailed testing because of the different chemical and mechanical properties of various waste aggregates. Hence, specific research for each waste should be undertaken.

This study focuses on the overall airport operational performance of selected airports in Northern Nigeria using the stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) model. STATA version 7 software was used for the data analysis. Data collected from the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) from all the selected airports from 2001 to 2018 included both domestic and international passengers in the given area. The study focused on measuring the operational performance of all selected airports; its results show that none of the airports under review showed 100% level of productivity benchmark. The study recommended that the airports in the given area can improve their technical performance by reducing the unit costs as well as some other inputs to increase efficiency.
Identification of Convicts in Hungarian Prisons
Authors: Kondás Katalin
Published: June 2021

Personal identification is a crucial element of some safety-technology systems. The same applies to facilities brimming with safety devices, in particular, in penalty institutions, prisons. My goal is to present a comprehensive picture of the identification method used in Hungarian prisons. There is no other summarizing document available on identification. My present paper is based on the 12 years of experience that I have gained in the Penalty Enforcement Organisation in the area of information technology since 2007. I have been analyzing and researching the personal identification of convicts based on their biometric characteristics. In 2004, a well-functioning, object-based identification method was established. This article will give an overall picture of the identification system(s) used in Hungarian prisons as well as of my former plans to renew the identification methods of convicts.

The manufacturing industry in Europe is currently enfacing one of its greatest challenges due to the emission reductions needed to reach carbon neutrality by the middle of this century. The European Union’s Energy Efficiency Directive and Green Deal will force manufacturing industries to significantly reduce their present energy consumption, but at the same time sustain their competitiveness globally. Here we use the Latvian manufacturing industry as a case to analyse how different macro-level factors have affected its energy use and how the industrial energy efficiency has progressed during the last decade. We apply the Log-Mean Divisia index decomposition method to decompose the energy use in the manufacturing subsectors over the period of the past ten years from 2010 to 2019. The findings unravel the key driving factors of industrial energy consumption, which could serve as a valuable basis for effective energy efficiency policymaking in the future. The results show that energy consumption trends differed across industrial subsectors and the effect of industrial energy efficiency improvements was more pronounced in the period following the entry into force of Energy Efficiency Law in Latvia. Significant increases in energy consumption are observed in the two largest Latvian manufacturing subsectors, such as the non-metallic minerals production sector and the wood processing sector, where the current pace of energy efficiency improvements cannot compensate for the effect of increasing industrial activity, which increases overall industrial energy consumption. The results suggest that the Latvian manufacturing industry is at the crossroads of the sustainability dilemma between economic gains and energy saving targets.

Ereke is one of regions in the north of Buton Island which grew in the authorization of Muna Palace.Under the threat of pirates and the greatness of Waolio Castle (Buton) and Muna, they built their government in a fortress (intra-murros). It was divided into some units with “kalisusu” as physical symbol of residential centre, and it became their identity. This paper will reveal the archaeological trackin historical landscape. To describe some aspects of community civilization in the history of Ereke archaeological site. At least since XV until XIX centuries. The purpose is to give initial information which can be developed in the broader and deeper research in the future. There was one significant thing found using archaeological survey, although cultural acculturation and assimilation occurred transparently, but the substantive element of local culture can hold up as the identity by adapting the external influence, such as defence system, fortress, armament, import goods, and religious order of the society. ABSTRAKEreke merupakan kawasan di sisi utara pulau Buton yang tumbuh dalam pengaruh penguasa keraton Muna. Di bawah ancaman bajak laut dan bayang-bayang kebesaran keraton Wolio (Buton) dan Muna, mereka membangun pemerintahan dalam benteng (intra-murros). Ruang benteng terbagi dalam beberapa unit, dengan “Kalisusu” sebagai simbol pusat permukiman, sekaligus menjadi identitas yang merekatkan. Tulisan ini akan mengungkapkan jejak arkeologis dalam bentang sejarah (historical landscape) untuk menggambarkan beberapa aspek peradaban komunitas di situs Ereke masa sejarah, sekurang-kurangnya sejak abad XV hingga XIX. Tujuannya, untuk memberikan informasi awal yang dapat dikembangkan dalam penelitian yang lebih luas dan mendalam di masa akan datang. Ada satu hal yang penting ditemukan dengan survei arkeologis, bahwa meskipun akulturasi dan assimilasi budaya berlangsung terbuka, namun unsur subtantif budaya lokal mampu bertahan sebagai identitas dengan tetap mengadaptasi anasir luar, seperti sistem pertahanan (benteng), persenjataan, barang impor, dan tatanan keagamaan.
