Authors: Silva Kelly de Oliveira Galvão da , Oliveira Ellen Synthia Fernandes de
Published: March 2024

Uma preocupação comum das instituições de ensino é receber o retorno do que foi ofertado na visão de quem passou pelo curso. A continuidade do contato com o egresso propicia essa relação. Assim objetiva-se nesse estudo descrever o efeito do mestrado na vida profissional e pessoal do egresso e obter um feedback frente ao curso ofertado. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo exploratório de abordagem mista. Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa foi realizado um convite por meio de uma plataforma virtual a 92 egressos titulados Mestres em Saúde Coletiva da Universidade Federal de Goiás, das turmas 3, 4, 5 e 6, referente aos anos 2013, 2014, 2016 e 2017. O aceite a participar implicou-se em conhecer a plataforma e alimenta-la com valiosas informações que só o egresso possui. Ao final demonstrou-se por meio da análise e de teste estatísticos a consistência da ferramenta utilizada para o acompanhamento dos egressos, visando uma coleta de dados que não só atendeu às orientações da Capes, mas também forneceu informações adequadas para o bom desempenho do Programa. Portanto, com o desenvolvimento desta pesquisa e a adesão a plataforma utilizada, espera-se contribuir significativamente com melhorias na qualidade do curso ofertado pelo Mestrado Profissional em Saúde Coletiva.

Authors: Melo Rayane de Jesus Santos , Conti Keli Cristina , Passos Carmen Lúcia Brancaglion
Published: March 2024

Este artigo, ampliação do texto “As marcas da matemática do processo de escolarização e suas influências na formação e prática docente”, apresentado no Seminário Internacional de Pesquisas em Educação Matemática (Sipem), decorre de uma Atividade Curricular de Integração Ensino, Pesquisa e Extensão (Aciepe) e apresenta como objetivo identificar, a partir de narrativas escritas, as marcas da matemática do processo de escolarização e como elas influenciam ou influenciaram a prática docente. Buscou-se ouvir dos participantes o que tinham a dizer sobre as formas de ensino de matemática em suas salas de aula; quais os materiais utilizados; e quais as práticas lembradas do seu processo de escolarização. A pesquisa possui uma abordagem qualitativa, e os dados foram construídos por meio de um convite à escrita de uma narrativa, proposta aos 20 participantes, apresentados neste artigo com nomes fictícios. As narrativas foram analisadas a partir de dois focos: “as práticas de ensino vivenciadas no processo de escolarização”; e “as influências das marcas da matemática escolar na prática docente”. O convite à escrita possibilitou aos participantes o movimento de olhar para si, rememorar suas experiências, produzir histórias e refletir sobre seus processos de formação e constituição. Espera-se que este artigo contribua para que professores em atuação e/ou licenciandos percebam o quanto a escrita de narrativas e o rememorar e compartilhar experiências com a matemática em grupo de estudos podem tornar-se um momento formativo para a ampliação do seu repertório de conhecimento e para reflexão da sua prática docente.
Conhecimentos evidenciados por futuros professores em uma proposta inclusiva com o Jogo “Frações com dominó”
Authors: Lemes Jean Carlos , Cristovão Eliane Matesco
Published: March 2024

Este artigo apresenta um recorte de uma pesquisa de mestrado que considera a Base de Conhecimento para o Ensino, de Shulman (1986,1987), e o modelo do Conhecimento Especializado do Professor de Matemática (MTSK), proposto por Carrillo et al. (2013), como dispositivos analíticos dos conhecimentos docentes. Neste artigo busca-se identificar e classificar os conhecimentos evidenciados por licenciandos ao desenvolverem uma proposta de atividade sobre operações com frações, pautada no uso do Jogo “Frações com dominós”, com o intuito de favorecer a inclusão de alunos com surdez ou deficiência auditiva em turmas regulares de ensino. A pesquisa, de cunho qualitativo, ocorreu no contexto da pandemia de Covid-19, e teve seus dados produzidos por gravações em vídeo e registros escritos de licenciandos matriculados em uma disciplina com enfoque inclusivo. Esta disciplina, contempla a Prática como Componente Curricular, em um curso de Matemática Licenciatura de uma universidade federal. A partir do modelo do MTSK, o processo analítico indica evidências de todos os subdomínios do Conhecimento Pedagógico de Conteúdo e, também, de um dos subdomínios do Conhecimento Matemático, relativo aos Tópicos. O Conhecimento do Ensino da Matemática mostrou-se como o subdomínio mais recorrente nas falas e produções dos futuros professores, sobretudo, nas reflexões acerca das possibilidades da utilização do Jogo no contexto de ensino da Matemática na perspectiva inclusiva. Esse último aspecto também se ressaltou com a análise dos Conhecimentos para o Ensino, os quais evidenciaram a preocupação dos futuros professores com a formação docente e a prática de ensino na perspectiva inclusiva.
Formação de Professores: Matemática para o Ensino na Investigação de Conceito
Authors: Paiva Maria Auxiliadora Vilela , Sousa Tatiana Bonomo de , Campos Ayandara Pozzi de Moraes
Published: March 2024

Este artigo apresenta e discute como a perspectiva da Matemática para o Ensino embasa pesquisas a partir da Investigação de Conceito (Concept Study), metodologia de pesquisa e formação, proposta por Brent Davis e seus colaboradores. Em uma linha qualitativa, as pesquisas apresentadas foram desenvolvidas pelo Grupo de Estudos e Pesquisas em Educação Matemática do Espírito Santo (Gepem-ES) vinculadas ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação em Ciências e Matemática (Educimat) do Instituto Federal do Espírito Santo (Ifes). Ocorreram em contextos de formação inicial ou continuada de professores, no período de 2016 a 2021, por meio da investigação dos conceitos de equação diofantina linear, padrões e generalizações, proporcionalidade e área, para o ensino. Com o intuito de possibilitar aos participantes destas formações a compreensão do seu papel no próprio processo de ensino e aprendizagem e colaborar em mudanças na prática docente, foram valorizados os saberes que emergem da prática docente e das experiências do futuro professor. Desse modo, analisamos quatro relatórios de dissertações, discutidas coletivamente com os autores das pesquisas. Os dados analisados indicam que as formações desenvolvidas, por meio da Investigação de Conceito, contribuíram para um movimento de (re)significação[1]/ampliação dos conceitos matemáticos abordados, implicando na reestruturação de saberes dos participantes para o ensino.
 
[1] A palavra ressignificação tem como primitiva a palavra signo, a que se juntam alguns afixos. Interessa aqui apenas destacar sua junção com o prefixo re. De origem latina, pode acrescentar aos termos com os quais formam novas palavras com três sentidos: repetição, reforço e recuo, este último indicando algo como “voltar ao ponto de partida”. A opção por grafar entre parênteses o prefixo re- escrevendo (re)significação se relaciona ao fato de querermos manter presentes não apenas esse novo sentido, mas também os provenientes dos elementos formadores da palavra na sua originalidade: o de significação e os agregados pelo prefixo re-, garantindo uma visão de que a busca por significações novas se dá continuamente na Educação Matemática na perspectiva da Matemática para o Ensino.
Um olhar sobre a mobilização de conhecimentos matemáticos próprios da docência no Pibid
Authors: Peixoto Nathalia Luiza Soares , Ferreira Ana Cristina
Published: March 2024

A participação no Pibid e sua relevância para a formação inicial de professores de Matemática tem sido amplamente documentada. Contudo, ainda são poucos os estudos que investigam os conhecimentos matemáticos mobilizados Pibid. Visando avançar nessa compreensão, procurou-se neste artigo desvelar conhecimentos matemáticos, próprios da docência, mobilizados no âmbito do Pibid Matemática de um Instituto Federal de Minas Gerais a partir de memórias e produções de dois egressos do programa. Trata-se de um estudo de natureza qualitativa no qual os dados foram produzidos a partir de documentos (relatórios e um Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso) e de uma entrevista semiestruturada realizada com os egressos. Os dados foram analisados à luz das noções de matemática escolar e matemática acadêmica desenvolvidos por Moreira e colaboradoras e organizados em dois eixos: conhecimentos matemáticos próprios da docência mobilizados nas ações e interações do Pibid e, conhecimentos matemáticos próprios da docência mobilizados em um Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso. Os resultados sugerem que, na maioria das ações e interações vivenciadas pelos pibidianos, predomina uma tentativa bem-intencionada de adaptar a matemática acadêmica ao trabalho com a Educação Básica. Contudo, raros foram os indícios de matemática escolar presentes nas ações relacionadas ao programa, ainda que se verifique uma atenção às demandas da prática docente. Nesse sentido, conclui-se que o Pibid poderia ampliar suas contribuições compreendendo a matemática escolar como conteúdo específico da formação docente e proporcionando aos licenciandos oportunidades de desenvolvimento de conhecimentos matemáticos próprios da docência.
Economic Relations Between China and Asean: The Shadow of the South China Sea Issue
Authors: Anwar Ahmad
Published: March 2024

China-ASEAN relations have experienced remarkable growth and transformation over the past few decades, driven by China's emergence as a global economic powerhouse and ASEAN's dynamic regional integration efforts. However, the South China Sea issue has cast a persistent shadow over their economic partnership. This paper examines the economic relations between China and ASEAN and the impact of the issue on these relations. Employing a multi-faceted approach, the paper finds that the South China issue had a negative impact on China-ASEAN economic relations, leading to tensions and disputes, a potential economic loss, a hindered economic integration, and a more cautious approach from ASEAN countries in their economic relations with China.
A várható élettartam jövőbeli növekedésének korlátozó tényezői a fejlett országokban – Limiting Factors for Future Growth in Life Expectancy in Developed Countries
Authors: Drabancz Áron , Földi Csenge
Published: March 2024

A várható élettartam növekedése a magas jövedelmű országok körében jelentősen ellaposodott az elmúlt évtizedekben. Az életmódból fakadó nem-fertőző krónikus betegségek egyre nagyobb tömegeket érintenek a fejlett országokban, ami hosszú távon megakaszthatja a várható élettartam korábbi évtizedekben látott növekedését. Emellett a koronavírus is új helyzetet teremtett a világ legfejlettebb térségeiben: először figyelhető meg a várható élettartam mérséklődése az Európai Unióban. Elemzésünk rámutat arra, hogy a koronavírus okozta várható élettartam csökkenésének nagyságát a térségben 2020-ban kevés jól megfogható változó befolyásolta, az Európai Unió gazdagabb-szegényebb, magasabb-alacsonyabb időskorú részarányú országai között nem volt érdemi különbség a várható élettartam csökkenésének mértékében, azonban a 2021-es év adatai alapján a kelet-közép európai országokban a várható élettartam jelentősen nagyobb mértékben mérséklődött, mint a centrum országokban. Amennyiben az életmódból fakadó nem-fertőző krónikus betegségekre és a koronavírus járványra a jövőben sem találnak megfelelő népegészségügyi válaszokat, a várható élettartam ellaposodása tartós maradhat a fejlett országokban.
Az életminőséggel korrigált életév nyereség monetáris értékelése, jövedelem és jóllét alapján
Authors: Mabore Thema , Ferenczik Anikó
Published: March 2024

A tanulmány célja a jóllét alapú értékelési módszer alkalmazásával egy életminőséggel korrigált életév (QALY) pénzben kifejezett értékének a kiszámítása. Ehhez először keresztmetszeti, online felmérését végeztünk a magyar felnőtt lakosság körében, összesen 2001 fő bevonásával. A felmérés során rákérdeztünk a válaszadók szocio-demográfiai jellemzőire, egészségi állapotára, továbbá az élettel való elégedettségükre is. Ezt követően regressziós modell segítségével megbecsültük a jóllét, az egészségi állapot és a jövedelem közötti kapcsolatot, majd ez alapján kiszámítottuk egy QALY forintban kifejezett értékét. A kapott eredmények alapján az egészségi állapot és a jövedelem pozitív, szignifikáns kapcsolatban volt a jólléttel, egy QALY pénzben kifejezett értéke pedig 12 604 819 HUF volt. Kutatásunk során először vizsgáltuk jólléti megközelítéssel a tökéletes egészségben megélt életévek pénzben kifejezett értékét Magyarországon. Eredményeink szerint ez az érték alacsonyabb, mint az egészségügyi technológiák befogadásakor alkalmazott finanszírozási küszöb, ezért az egészségpolitikai döntéshozóknak érdemes lehet megfontolni a finanszírozási küszöbérték csökkentését.
Navigating tensions: A critical policy analysis of expectations for English educators in Georgia
Authors: Ervin Jennifer , Gannon Madison
Published: March 2024

We compare the institutional standards and expectations for English language arts (ELA) educators from the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE), the leading professional organization in this field, and the state of Georgia. By conducting a critical policy analysis of documents from NCTE and the Georgia Department of Education (GADoE) we sought to understand the tension between standards set for training English education students in institutions of higher education and the standards those teachers would be required to use in Georgia K-12 schools. We analyze these documents through Cooper et al.’s (2004) policy analysis framework, which questions the normative, structural, constituent, and technical dimensions of policy development. We found that the ideological beliefs and values embedded in the policies and documents from NCTE and GADoE have developed divergent sets of expectations for ELA teachers in Georgia, particularly around how teachers respond to oppression in our society; how we understand the overall purpose of ELA instruction; and the scope of responsibilities for educators. We end by presenting implications for educators working among these two sets of policies, in recognizing where these expectations may overlap as well as diverge.
Educar y cuidar a la infancia de 0-3 años en la Galicia rural: La experiencia de las “Casas Nido"
Authors: Ferreiro-Núñez Xesús , Caride-Gómez José Antonio
Published: March 2024

La iniciativa denominada “Casas Niño” ("Casas Nido," en castellano), promovida en 2013 por la Xunta de Galicia, hace referencia a un modelo de atención a la infancia de cero a tres años del ámbito rural de Galicia. Está asociado al proyecto de conciliación laboral-familiar -Plan de Dinamización Demográfica 2013-2016, Horizonte 2020, que persigue favorecer la empleabilidad, promover la conciliación femenina y retener-atraer población joven en municipios rurales. Este artículo da cuenta de la investigación realizada con el objetivo de conocer, describir y analizar la naturaleza y alcance de la iniciativa desde sus inicios como proyecto implementado desde 2016 hasta la actualidad. El proceso metodológico se sustenta en el análisis de distintas fuentes documentales y en la información obtenida mediante la aplicación de un cuestionario, al que ha dado respuesta un alto porcentaje de las titulares de las casas. Algunos de los resultados obtenidos indican que el proyecto incrementó la empleabilidad femenina en el ámbito rural, por lo que se alcanza uno de los objetivos de la administración autonómica, aunque la co-crianza en la Casa Nido no es la razón principal para emprender un proyecto de cuidado y tampoco se han encontrado evidencias sobre su contribución a mitigar el éxodo rural.

Published: March 2024

Sales promoters have an essential role in achieving the company’s profit. Therefore, they are required to have a good performance. However, they often encounter various difficulties during their job performance that decrease employee performance. In overcoming this issue, grit exists in each individual, and social support from the sales promoter’s environment can help them increase their job performance. This research objective is to examine the influence of grit and social support on the job performance of sales promoters. The sampling technique used is simple random sampling. The sample of this research is a group of 180 sales promoters consisting of 132 men and 48 women with an age range of 20-40 years (M = 2.54; SD = 1.027). The instruments used in this study were the Job Performance Scale (24 items, α = .856), Grit Scale (20 items, α = .604), and Social Support Scale (30 items, α = .877). The analysis test by the multiple linear regression with the hypothesis testing t-test statistic showed a positive and statistically significant influence of grit and social support on the sales promoter job performance, adjusted R 2 = .608; F(2, 177) = 140.057, p < .001.

Published: March 2024

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacts on life, especially for parents of school-age children. One of the phenomena that occur is parenting stress, which impacts parenting. Parenting stress requires the role of mindfulness and family resilience in order to be able to deal with stressful conditions of parenting during a pandemic. This study aimed to determine the relationship between mindfulness, family resilience, and parenting stress of parents who had school-age children. This quantitative study used a purposive sampling technique involving 60 parents with children of primary school age (93.3% female, Mage = 38; SD = 7.4). The instruments used in this research were the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) with (α = .911), Family Resilience Assessment Scale (α = .964), and The Parenting Stress Index (α = .994). The method of data analysis was multiple linear regression analysis. The result shows that mindfulness and family resilience are simultaneously statistically significant in predicting parenting stress, Adj R 2 = .936, F(2, 58) = 428.89, p < .001. In addition, it found that mindfulness does not contribute to the model, b = -.025; t(58) = -.686, p = .495, while family resilience does, b = .957; t(58) = 26.158, p < .001. The effective contribution of mindfulness and family resilience to parenting stress is 93.6%. Based on the research results obtained, parents can develop mindfulness and family resilience to cope with the perceived stress of parenting.
PREDICTING ATTITUDE TOWARD COVID-19 VACCINE AMONG INDONESIANS: AN APPLICATION OF THE THEORY OF PLANNED BEHAVIOR
Authors: Husna Aftina Nurul , Zahra Aning Az , Akmal Nur , Ningrum Milyarti
Published: March 2024

Vaccination is an important tool to end the pandemic; however, various surveys show considerable cases of hesitance and refusal among public in many countries. This study aimed to predict the effect of several factors on attitudes toward the Covid-19 vaccine using the theory of planned behavior framework. A quantitative survey design was used to collect data from participants from 15 cities in Indonesia (n = 323) during the second wave of pandemic in June-July 2021. Data were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression to test three models. In Model 1, risk perception and confidence in vaccine significantly predict attitude toward vaccine, Adj. R2 = .501, F(2, 320) = 162.610, p < .000. In Model 2, adding trust to government does not improve the prediction, Adj. R2 = .504, ΔR2 = .003, F for R2 Change = 3.284, p = .071. In Model 3, we added knowledge about Covid-19 and beliefs in conspiracy in the model, which presented as the best model by having Adj. R2 = .532, ΔR2 = .030, F for R2 Change = 10.222, p < .000. Though relatively weaker than the influence of risk perception, t(317) = 4.250, p < .00, and confidence in vaccine, t(317) = 10.24, p < .00, knowledge about Covid-19 can predict attitude toward vaccine t(317) = 4.521, p < .00, while beliefs in conspiracy do not. It is concluded that there is an interplay between control beliefs (knowledge) and behavioral beliefs (risk perception and confidence in vaccines) in shaping attitudes toward a vaccine. Confidence in vaccines plays the most important role, followed consecutively by risk perception and knowledge. It suggests that health authorities emphasize the safety and efficacy of vaccinesin reducing the risk of disease while educating the public with authorized information.

An Application of Multinomial Mis-Classification Cost Matrix For A P- To – P Lending Credit Score
Authors: Bakker Daniel K. , Ong’eta Oyaro Jackson
Published: March 2024

An emerging new form of online credit for lending, different from traditional sources of finance, such as banks and building societies, where lenders provide loans to borrowers directly is termed as P-P. Many of these credits are unsecured personal loans, thus credit score of loans is vital to regulate the default risk and improve profit for lenders and platforms. Standard two-fold classifiers may not be appropriate in this lending since there are multiple credit classes and misclassification costs vary largely across classes in the lending platforms. Cost Sensitive Classifiers have been studied extensively in this set of lending, but none of them have analyzed this issue from the perspective of multinomial classifications and measured the misclassification costs of different credit grades using actual losses and opportunity costs. The research intends to model credit score in p-p lending as a cost-sensitive multinomial classification problem. A misclassification cost matrix is proposed for credit scoring with a set of equations and models to estimate the costs. A replication study using a publicly available data is conducted to evaluate the performance and validate the usefulness of the proposed misclassification cost matrix with the help of an R statistical package developed to aid the application of the model. The outcomes showed that the cost-sensitive multinomial classifiers can significantly decrease the total cost, which is vital for the p-p survival and profitability.
Childfree In The Workplace: Demographics, Stigmas, And Implications
Authors: Bendtsen Meghan , Buchko Aaron A. , Buchko Kathleen J.
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this paper is to explore one particular phenomenon that can be associated with the millennial generation, and that is the increasing number of childfree employees in the workplace.  We examine the demographic data on childlessness in the workplace and the literature on issues and perceptions of childlessness and childfree individuals.  Research has demonstrated various social stigmas associated with childfree; among these are perceptions that the childfree are more immature, selfish, autonomous, and less desirable to be around.  The social stigma attached to the choice to remain childfree has certainly impacted the extent to which firms have sought to address these issues, and researchers have also tended to avoid conducting significant empirical and qualitative work in this domain.  There is a very real need for high quality research efforts focused on understanding the issues raised by childfree workers in the structure of contemporary organizations, along with work needed to identify innovative ways organizations can adapt to the new reality of childfree employees.  For managers, there is a clear need to think carefully about the implications of childfree workers in the workplace.  Managers should be encouraged to engage in honest discussions with employees about disparities in familial status, and to work with teams to encourage greater acceptance of the diversity that comes from these differences. The trend toward childfree individuals in the workplace is likely to continue, with the result that managers will need to address the issues raised in this analysis.
Pedagogical Approaches for Meeting Gifted Students’ Needs: Literature Review
Authors: Alsuwailimi Mansour Shubrum
Published: March 2024

In recent decades, there has been significant interest internationally level in the field of gifted education, which has led to a vast amount of research. This widespread interest stems from recognising what might be seen as the intrinsic value of developing giftedness. Nurturing gifted students has become an essential part of the mainstream educational system of developed countries. Furthermore, more countries around the world are now becoming aware of the potential benefits of investing in gifted education and the role that such investment can play in their growth and development. However, many gifted students may not receive educational opportunities that match their abilities and needs as instruction in regular classroom settings is usually not tailored to meet the needs of more gifted learners. Much research has shown that gifted children need tailored educational opportunities for their talents to flourish and to stimulate their individual potential in appropriate environments. This paper reviews and analyses the relevant literature on the pedagogical approaches to meeting gifted students’ needs. The four main approaches to meeting diverse students’ needs, comprising acceleration, grouping, enrichment and differentiation, are discussed to explore and understand how to provide adequate support for gifted students.
Economic Sustainability is the Road to Follow Towards the Future that is Changing
Authors: Cossiga Giovanni Antonio
Published: March 2024

It is certainly singular that a large part of Western and Eastern society has experienced in the last two years a sudden rise in inflation and there has been great concern about the development and control of the rise in prices. A sudden but not unexpected increase in fossil fuels, in the face of a delay in renewable energy. Apart from the incidence of delays that favored the phenomenon, it must be said that there is a relationship between humanity's strategic objective for full neutrality with the environment and the quality of the development of economies - that is, we will be able to achieve the strategic objective of neutrality if the development of the global economy is also sustainable and supported. Well, the global picture does not seem to correspond to this evidence. Because many countries in Africa, Latin America and others have been grappling with high inflation for a long time. Furthermore, after the ruffle of inflation driven by international costs, we can see that half the globe is grappling with long-term deflation, certainly not affected by the short-term inflation caused by the costs of fossil fuels. Starting from China, which has been sending waves of deflation for some time, and from Europe itself, which welcomes them through the drop in prices of exported products and at the same time the drop in export prices in Europe for reasons of competitiveness. We ask ourselves how it is possible that international cost inflation is compatible with long-term deflation in Europe. Well, international cost inflation increases but tends to decrease when a new price equilibrium is reached. Unlike classical long-term inflation and deflation, which arise due to problems in the unbalanced economy that last over time and are subject to constant acceleration that depends on the state of the economy at the time of its occurrence. It is not easy to bend the sprint of prices, except with the recessive strategy that rebalances the economy and cuts the monetary anomaly at the root. The co-presence of inflation and deflation is not surprising. But only when the growth of inflation depends on the increase in international prices and therefore almost seems to add algebraically to the coexisting classical monetary anomalies (deflation and inflation). Beyond this hypothesis, inflation and deflation cannot coexist. Beyond this hypothesis, inflation and deflation cannot coexist.
The Vistula, Overgrown Shrubs, and Untended Gardens in the Literature of Postwar, Communist Warsaw
Authors: Barcz Anna
Published: March 2024

The article offers to combine the environmental history and memory of Warsaw on the example of analyses of literary works relating mainly to the post-1939-war and communist periods. These references involve specific places, such as the Vistula River, wastelands and abandoned allotments. In addition to brief exemplifications from Marek Hłasko and Dorota Masłowska, the psychogeographical interpretation of the environmental realities of post-war Warsaw in the People’s Republic of Poland was developed in the more detailed analysis of three novels by Tadeusz Konwicki: A Minor Apocalypse, Underground River, Underground Birds and Ascension. It turned out that the traumatic history of the city, which has not been recognized so clearly in the environmental sense, is applicable in the analysis of these novels and by greening the undeveloped wastelands.
Stabat Mater: The Impossible Mourning in Teresa Ferenc’s Poetry
Authors: Szopa Katarzyna
Published: March 2024

The article discusses the feminist politics of mourning in the poetry of Teresa Ferenc. The main assumption of the text is to highlight the subversive potential of the medieval motive of Stabat Mater. By referring to feminist anthropology, as well as the psychoanalyst theory of Julia Kristeva, I argue that behind the figure of mother’s grieving lies not only the poet’s opposition to war, but also an ethical imperative of solidarity with others, i.e. nameless victims of any kind injustice provided by patriarchal-capitalist policy.
The Dybbuk Speaks with the Mouth of the Living: Wartime Trauma and Strategies of Holocaust Remembrance in Hungarian Literature Between 1949 and 1953
Authors: Piotrowiak-Junkiert Kinga
Published: March 2024

The article deals with the subject of the Holocaust in Hungarian literature between 1949 and 1953, and in particular with the writing strategies used by the authors to describe a phenomenon that was silenced and removed from public debate. During the post-war period, when the Communists were in power in Hungary, it was forbidden to write about the war and especially about the Holocaust of the Jews; moreover, all literary texts had to be approved by the censors. Despite the strict restrictions, Hungarian writers managed to smuggle the forbidden topic into their novels. In this article, I discuss the prose of József Debreczeni, István Kamjén, and Ferenc Karinthy against the background of social and historical phenomena in Hungary.

Felicja Raszkin-Nowak still remains a little-known witness of the Holocaust. Born in Warsaw, she found herself in Białystok as a little girl during the war. Miraculously she survived the liquidation of the ghetto and hid on a farm, from where she was liberated. After the war, she worked at Polish Radio, and after March 1968 she emigrated to Denmark. In 1991, she published her memoirs titled My Star, translated into several languages. They are a faithful and shocking portrayal of war and the Holocaust, written with rare mastery. Raszkin-Nowak’s writing strategy combines several different perspectives: that of a child and an adult, a Polish woman and a Jew, a girl and a mature woman on the threshold of old age. Raszkin-Nowak uses an innovative storytelling technique that can be called empathetic realism. It enables the author to overcome the internal and external distance between the experience of childhood and the experience of war, the experience of cultural settlement and the experience of emigration, the time of events and the time of reminiscing.

Do social movements shift the focus of their framing from grievances to tactics as they mature? This paper examines the nature of the frames that social movements and activists co-create using the case of Black Lives Matter (BLM). Building on (Snow & Benford, 1988), we explore whether BLM’s frames have evolved from diagnostic to prognostic frames since the movement’s emergence. We compiled a novel tweet dataset collected from Twitter that contains 269,963 tweets sent under the hashtag “BlackLivesMatter” from Jan. 01, 2020, to Dec. 31, 2021. Using time series and network analysis, we show that frames do not naturally evolve from diagnostic to prognostic frames as movements mature. We find that BLM activists increasingly use prognostic frames while expressing their grievances because injustices and discrimination toward the Black continue. The evidence suggests that tweets on tactics and solutions outnumber the grievance-related frames only after Chauvin’s guilty plea alleviates grievances.
Uluslararası ve Bölgesel Belgelerde Göçmenlerin Siyasi Katılım Hakkı: Oy Hakkı Bağlamında Ulus Devletlere Genel Bakış

Published: March 2024

Hukuki belgelerde yer alan temel haklardan biri de siyasi faaliyetlerde bulunma hakkıdır. Bu çalışmada siyasi faaliyet kapsamında olan siyasi katılım hakkı, göçmenler/vatandaş olmayanlar özelinde incelenmiştir. Ulus-devlet söyleminin yükselmesiyle kamu ve ulus güvenliğinin savunulması sonucu göçmenlere/vatandaş olmayanlara yönelik bazı haklar sınırlanmıştır. Bu süreçte sınırlama getirilen haklardan birisi de siyasi katılım hakkıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, ulus-devlet ve göç ilişkisi bağlamında göçmenlerin siyasi katılım hakkına dair genel bakış sunmaktır. Çalışma, belirlenen on bir ülkede göçmenlerin siyasi katılım haklarını oy kullanma bağlamında ele almaktadır. Literatürde spesifik olarak bir ülkenin siyasi katılım hakkını ele alan çalışmalar var olsa da genel bir bakış sunan çalışmaların sınırlılığı bu çalışmayı önemli kılmaktadır. Çalışma nitel araştırma tekniklerinden doküman analizi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada göçmenlere/vatandaş olmayanlara belli kıstaslara bağlı olarak siyasi katılım hakkının verildiği, genellikle bölgesel ve ulusal seçimlerden ziyade yerel düzeydeki seçimlere katılabilme hakkına sahip oldukları ve Avrupa Birliği’ne üye devletlerde vatandaş olmayanların seçimlere katılma durumunun diğer ülkelere göre daha olağan karşılandığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca bu bağlamda siyasi katılım hakkını içeren uluslararası ve bölgesel belgeler belirlenmiş ve açıklanmıştır. Hukuki belgeler arasında tüm devletler için bağlayıcı veya emredici bir belgenin mevcut olmadığı anlaşılmıştır. Güvenlikleştirme teorisi bağlamında, ulus-devlette vatandaş olmayanlara siyasi katılım hakkı verilmesinin önünde engel oluştuğu anlaşılmış ve kent vatandaşlığı önerilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda; göçmenlerin insan haklarının siyasi katılım haklarını da içerecek şekilde genişletilmesi, vatandaş olmayanların da temsil edilmesi ve hayatı derinden etkileyen iktidarın oluşumuna katılabilmeleri insan hakları temelinde desteklenmiştir.
2024 Seçimlerine Giderken Rus Siyasal Sistemi ve Parti Sistemine Putin Etkisi
Authors: Akdoğan Yalçın
Published: March 2024

Ülkelerin siyasal sistemleri, hükümet biçimleri ve yönetim yapıları farklı parti sistemleri ortaya çıkarmakta, parti sistemleri ile seçim sistemleri ve siyasal rejimler arasında ciddi bir etkileşim gözlemlenmektedir. Devletlerin özgürlükçü, çoğulcu, katılımcı bir siyasal rejime sahip olması veya otoriter, totaliter, baskıcı, çoğunlukçu bir siyasal sistemle yönetilmesi parti sisteminin doğasını belirleyebildiği gibi, partilerin liderlerin hâkimiyetine girmesi tek adam partilerine, siyasal sistemlerin tek adamın kontrolüne girmesi ise tek adam rejimlerine sebep olabilmektedir. Mutlak monarşi ile anılan Çarlık dönemi ve tek parti diktatörlüğü olarak görülen SSCB’nin ardından kurulan Rusya Federasyonu’nun ne tür parti sistemine veya siyasal sisteme sahip olduğu tartışılan bir konu olmaya devam etmektedir. Başkanlık, yarı başkanlık veya güçlü başkanlık şekillerinde yorumlanan Rus siyasal sisteminin V. Putin’in Başkanlığı döneminde otoriter bir güçlü başkanlık sistemine dönüştüğü vurgulanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada dört kez başkan seçilen ve dünyanın en etkili liderleri arasında gösterilen Putin’in siyasal sistemi, seçim sistemini ve parti sistemini dönüştüren etkileri ele alınmakta; 20024 seçimlerinde de aday olan Putin’in güçlü bir tek adam sistemi doğurduğu iddiası değerlendirilmektedir.
Change and Continuity in North European Security: Finland and Sweden’s Membership in NATO
Authors: Seyaz Adnan
Published: March 2024

This study aims to analyze the change and continuity in Northern European Security after Finland and Sweden’s membership processes in NATO. With this purpose, firstly I examined the history of the countries in the region to detect possible continuities in their relations. Russia’s lack of respect for the sovereignty of its neighbors since 2008 and lastly the occupation of Ukraine forced Finland and Sweden to leave their long-lasting non-aligned status and caused to invalidate the concept of ‘Finlandization’. This study secondly focuses on this radical change’s effect on the security understanding of Northern Europe with a concentration on the role of NATO. The findings of this article put forward that recent NATO enlargement is vital for regional states to be able to counter Russia through uniting countries except Russia in the Baltic and Arctic. Russia is applying ‘hybrid war’ tactics as an unreliable regional power and it has been stuck in Ukraine since February 2022. NATO must learn from the Russia-Ukraine War and prepare against Russia’s conventional superiority over its neighboring states and the usage of asymmetrical means since no one may guarantee that Russia’s next steps will not violate the sovereignty of other regional states.

Objective Since the release of vaccines against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), there have been reports of vaccine-related neurologic complications. This study aimed to perform a descriptive systematic review of movement disorders associated with COVID-19 vaccines.Methods We described the demographics, clinical presentation, management, outcomes, and proposed pathomechanism of the patients. A systematic review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. A standardized tool was used to assess the quality of the cases.Results We identified 8 articles that met our inclusion criteria; these articles included 10 patients who developed movement disorders after vaccination. The majority were males (n = 8), with a median age of 64.5 years. The most common movement disorder was hemichorea. The rest presented with generalized chorea with myoclonus, cervical dystonia, and akathisia. Most patients respond to immunotherapy. The standardized tool used showed that most studies had a low risk of bias.Conclusion The reported incidence of vaccine-related movement disorders was low based on available published cases.

Published: March 2024

With the deployment of global navigation systems such as GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, and BeiDou, and the construction of the global observation network, global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data have greatly expanded. Traditional relational databases and file systems can no longer efficiently store and process GNSS data. In addition, multidimensional, in-depth visual analysis methods for such data are lacking. In this paper, we provide a solution and implement a GNSS data visualization system based on MapV and cesium running on the Hadoop platform, which can effectively solve the problems of the lack of storage and computing resources for these massive multisource heterogeneous data. The proposed system provides multidimensional presentations to show how the space and ground segments of the entire system are organized by analyzing GNSS data.
Khovanov homology and exotic surfaces in the 4-ball
Authors: Hayden Kyle , Sundberg Isaac
Published: March 2024

We show that the cobordism maps on Khovanov homology can distinguish smooth surfaces in the 4-ball that are exotically knotted (i.e., isotopic through ambient homeomorphisms but not ambient diffeomorphisms).
We develop new techniques for distinguishing cobordism maps on Khovanov homology, drawing on knot symmetries and braid factorizations.
We also show that Plamenevskaya’s transverse invariant in Khovanov homology is preserved by maps induced by positive ascending cobordisms.
Some good news for the school: the levelling effect of the EFL class in FL vocabulary production and FL categorization of autochthonous learners and heritage speaker learners
Authors: Agustín-Llach María-del-Pilar
Published: March 2024

Several researchers have drawn attention to the educational challenge posed by multilingual classes where students from different linguistic backgrounds coexist. Current institutional initiatives in Europe, but also elsewhere, advocate for the maintenance and promotion of multilingual and multicultural diversity within both monolingual and multilingual classrooms. In this study located in Spain, we were interested in exploring the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) vocabulary production and FL categorization of a group of heritage bilinguals in comparison with their mainstream monolingual peers. Results from a categorization task revealed that on most measures taken, heritage bilinguals, despite being a more heterogenous group, performed similarly in terms of vocabulary production in general, and as compared against the framework of a standard pre-B1 Cambridge vocabulary list, FL categorization, and typicality structures. The levelling effect of the EFL class is claimed to be accountable for this lack of differences. Furthermore, we dare speculate the generalization of CLIL could play in favour of more inclusive classes where immigrant learners are not left behind and can realise their potential to the fullest.
The wall effect in a plane counterflow channel
Authors: Galantucci Luca , Sciacca Michele
Published: March 2024

In this paper, we study the influence of the boundary conditions of the velocity fields in superfluid helium counterflow experiments. To make progress, we perform numerical simulations where we allow a slip velocity of the viscous component at the walls, and observe how this impacts on velocity fields and density profiles of distribution of quantized vortices. We conclude that the presence of a slip velocity at the walls generates a more homogeneous vortex distribution throughout the channel.
