Land and Citizenship in the Greek Polis: Real Property, Public Control, and Institutionalisation
Authors: Faraguna Michele
Published: February 2025

The aim of this article is to show how an approach focusing on the dynamics of the relationship between land and politeia – an aspect not often adequately considered in recent studies on the conceptualisation of citizenship as “sharing (metechein) in the polis” – can offer new elements for the analysis of institutionalisation within the Greek city. After pointing out that in Homeric society land ownership is much less exclusive than in the polis of the classical age, the first part of the essay examines, through a substantial number of epigraphic documents, aspects such as arbitration concerning the boundaries of the polis, land distributions, confiscations and expropriations of real properties, the protection of boundaries, as well as various forms of legal limitation of property rights, that all together reflect, since the sixth century BCE, the intervention of public institutions in regulating property relations within the territory of the Greek city. As a parallel and complementary phenomenon, the second part of the article looks into the various forms of property registers and records and, in particular, concentrates on the need for archival lists of citizens and properties as a prerequisite for the institutional functioning of the polis.

Revitalization with Stagnation
Authors: Nguyen Tuan Anh , Rigg Jonathan
Published: February 2025

Based on research in four communes in rural areas of Hanoi, this paper investigates the hidden shortcomings of Vietnam’s New Rural Development program. Introduced in 2010, the program was designed to modernize farming, diversify rural economies, boost incomes, and reduce rural poverty. We argue that while headline data paint a positive picture, these achievements have been secured through an unsustainable combination of non-farm laboring, often ex situ, by younger generations and low return farm laboring, in situ, by older residents. These are socially combined – and make economic ‘sense’ – in the context of households that operate as units of production, reproduction and redistribution. With rice land abandonment and ageing farmers, the fissures in the New Rural Development program are becoming all too clear.
Development and Countermeasures of China's New Energy Vehicles within the Great Power Game
Authors: Xu Lyuxiao
Published: February 2025

In light of contemporary developments, fostering advancements in renewable energies has assumed paramount importance. New energy vehicles (NEVs) have progressively emerged as primary modes for transportation worldwide; their proliferation serves as a barometer reflecting each nations overall capabilities. The evolution trajectory for electric vehicles (EVs) in China has been riddled with challenges amid global power dynamics at play. It is imperative to delve into recent trends shaping this sector comprehensively to gain deeper insights into its trajectory over time. This study encapsulates how EVs in China have evolved within an overarching framework emphasizing conservation efforts alongside emission reductions. Furthermore, it scrutinizes persisting technical hurdles faced by Chinese NEVs, such as uneven charging infrastructure deployment, as well as limitations related to range anxiety due to suboptimal battery performance. Intense market competition among domestic EV manufacturers has inadvertently precipitated quality concerns impacting consumer loyalty adversely. The article also delves into the remedial measures being taken by Chinese NEV companies, including pioneering research efforts focused on improving the safety features of lithium-ion battery technology. On this basis, this paper discusses the government initiatives such as "plan-pilot-promotion-subsidy-development" aimed at supporting the NEV industry in China.

Estimation of Reference Evapotranspiration Using Fuzzy Logic: A Case Study of the Ogun-Osun River Basin
Authors: Alabi Habeeb , Asolo oluwaranti , Ewemoje temitayo
Published: February 2025

Aim/Background
Accurate estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ETo) is crucial for effective irrigation scheduling and water resource management. However, the universal application of the Penman-Monteith FAO-56 method is often limited by insufficient or low-quality meteorological data. This study addresses these limitations by developing and evaluating a fuzzy logic-based model for estimating ETo in the Ogun-Osun River Basin (OORB).

Methods
A 35-year dataset of four meteorological variables (temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and net radiation) was utilized. The actual ETo was computed using the Penman-Monteith FAO-56 method. Data preprocessing and wrangling were conducted using Python programming. A fuzzy inference system was implemented, employing membership functions and a rule-based system to model the complex relationships between meteorological variables and ETo. Model performance was evaluated using statistical metrics, including root-mean-square error (RMSE), sum-of-square error (SSE), mean-percentage error (MPE), and coefficient of determination (R²).

Results
The sensitivity analysis revealed that relative humidity was the most influential parameter (0.99 ± 0.01), followed by temperature (0.98 ± 0.02), net radiation (0.55 ± 0.1), and wind speed (0.003 ± 0.001). The fuzzy logic model demonstrated strong predictive performance, with R² values ranging from 0.9526 to 0.9775, RMSE values between 0.05167 mm/day and 0.1261 mm/day, MPE between –0.0039% and 0.00175%, and SSE ranging from 0.2136 mm²/day² to 1.2728 mm²/day², indicating low prediction errors.

Conclusion
The findings validate the effectiveness of fuzzy logic in climate modeling, particularly for estimating ETo under conditions of data scarcity. The developed fuzzy logic model provides a reliable alternative to traditional methods and can be applied in similar climatic regions to enhance water resource management and irrigation planning.
Antimicrobial susceptibility and resistance patterns of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from mastitic cows in Hawassa city and its suburbs, southern Ethiopia
Authors: Abebe Rahmeto , Hatiya hagere
Published: February 2025

Background/Aim: Bovine mastitis, an inflammation of the mammary gland, frequently affects dairy cattle, reducing milk production and causing economic strain on farmers. It is mainly caused by various bacteria, particularly Staphylococcus aureus, which often exhibits resistance to multiple antimicrobials. The excessive use of antibiotics on dairy farms has resulted in the rise of multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains of S. aureus, complicating mastitis treatment. This study was aimed to isolate S. aureus from mastitic cows and evaluate its antimicrobial susceptibility.
Methods: The was conducted from December 2022 to May 2023 in Hawassa City and its surroundings. A total of 172 milk samples from confirmed mastitic cows were cultured using standard bacteriological methods. Forty-four S. aureus isolates were tested against 11 common antimicrobials using the Kirby–Bauer disk diffusion method.
Results: S. aureus was isolated from 51.2% of samples, with significant resistance observed against ampicillin (84.1%), penicillin (81.8%), tetracycline (36.4%), and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (34.1%). MDR was noted in 43.2% of isolates. In contrast, S. aureus demonstrated complete susceptibility to ceftriaxone and gentamicin (100%), and high susceptibility to streptomycin (88.6%), erythromycin (88.6%), nitrofurantoin (72.7%), and cefotaxime (72.7%).
Conclusion: The significant isolation rate of S. aureus and its MDR underscore the urgent need for enhanced veterinary practices and public health strategies. A comprehensive approach that includes improved management, ongoing education for veterinarians and dairy farmers, responsible antimicrobial usage, and regular monitoring of resistance is essential to tackle the escalating threat of antimicrobial resistance in bovine mastitis.

This paper looked at the correlates of individual’s recommendations for making people redundant.  Participants ranked the importance of various criteria (length of service, attendance, disciplinary/performance records) used to make job redundancies. They were also asked to add any additional criteria, and their many suggestions included individual circumstances, organisational costs, and employee engagement. The focus was on individual difference correlates of rating 10 criteria to make redundancy decisions. In all, 499 working British adults completed various questionnaires, including Just World Beliefs, Organisational Disenchantment and Equity at work. There was considerable agreement on redundancy criteria, with the three most important being performance records, skills and competencies, and disciplinary records. The variable that most correlated with the chosen redundancy criteria was education. Regressions indicated that different individual difference variables were related to different redundancy criteria preferences. Limitations are acknowledged, and implications considered.
El Sistema de Evaluación de Diputada/os del Congreso mexicano
Authors: López Blanca
Published: February 2025

En 2017, el Congreso mexicano diseñó un sistema para valorar el desempeño, funciones y actividades sustantivas de diputada/os, sin embargo, no operó formalmente y en 2021 creó el sed (Sistema de Evaluación de Desempeño) de la Cámara de Diputada/os, que evalúa unidades administrativas y responsables del gasto. Por esto, el propósito del artículo es analizar con un enfoque cualitativo las diferencias entre estos sistemas para cumplir con el objetivo de evaluar las funciones que deben realizar la/os congresistas, considerando las propuestas de evaluación legislativa, entrevistas a operadores del proceso, normatividad e indicadores de desempeño.
El análisis crítico muestra que no existe información pública sobre el diseño y metodología del sed ni evaluaciones realizadas, escasos indicadores de resultados y actividades sustantivas, lo cual obliga a cuestionar la naturaleza política de la evaluación por los costos políticos de transparentar recursos, acciones y decisiones públicas de cada diputada/o. Además, ante el debate vigente sobre la iniciativa de reforma político electoral, se sugiere la evaluación del desempeño de congresistas para recuperar el valor público de sus funciones, fortalecer la democracia participativa, representativa y capacidad parlamentaria, acercar las comisiones parlamentarias con la ciudadanía-electorado y legitimar la actividad legislativa.
“¿Seré capaz de estar a la altura?” Vivencias del profesional de psicología organizacional en el servicio público federal brasileño
Authors: Azevedo Germano Rodrigues Adriana , Gonçalves de Freitas Lêda
Published: February 2025

Contemporary work is permeated by managerial precariousness; by the criticality of the mental health scenario worldwide; and by the effort, on the part of professionals, to resist the constraints of reality in order to achieve prescribed objectives, a theme widely studied by Work Psychodynamics (PDT). In this study, we aimed to understand the experiences of organizational and work psychology (OWP) professionals in the Brazilian federal public service, in the light of PDT. The qualitative research interviewed, through semi-structured interviews, nine professionals from nine federal institutions. As a result of content analysis, elements of work organization (WO) and experiences of pleasure and suffering allowed us to conclude that managerialism permeates professional practice, characterizing an approach that ensures the maintenance of organizational devices in practices with an adaptive bias in meeting managerial demands. In the pursuit of pleasure, OWP professionals find recognition for their utility in the immediate satisfaction of the user and in the maintenance of productive standards, even though they do not intervene in the factors causing illness. The collective emerges as a source of support while legislation contributes to establishing limits and, to some extent, shaping behavior.

Authors: Valdez Aguilar Mariana , Barriguete Meléndez Jorge Armando , Perez Bustinzar Ana Regina
Published: February 2025

Eating disorders are serious medical illnesses affecting multiple aspects of an individual’s life. Psychological factors such as perfectionism, body dissatisfaction, and emotional distress are commonly found in eating disorder patients. Understanding how some of these variables can predict eating disorders is crucial for developing effective interventions and prevention treatments. In this study, we aim to examine the relationship between perfectionism, body dissatisfaction, maturity fears, depression, and anxiety in a sample of Mexican patients with eating disorders. The sample was 335 women with an age range of 18 to 40 years (M = 21.73, S.D = 3.633). Patients answered two self-report questionnaires: Eating Disorder Inventory and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Multiple linear regressions analysis was performed. The regression model for the dependent variable "perfectionism" explained 44% of the variance with a greater presence of body dissatisfaction, maturity fears, feelings of ineffectiveness, as well as greater anxiety symptoms and older age. We observed a significant increase in maladaptive perfectionism; this was attenuated in the presence of depression symptoms. In this sample, the greatest predictor of maladaptive perfectionism was maturity fears. These issues should be addressed among young people from the general population and carry out prevention and intervention programs related to eating disorders.

Behind Closed Doors: Examining the Stock of Clothing in Individuals’ Wardrobes.
Authors: Vermeyen Veerle , Alaerts Luc , Worrell Ernst , Van Acker Karel , Germeys Filip
Published: February 2025

Increasing the use intensity of individual garments is crucial in reducing the total environmental impact of clothing consumption. Implementing circular economy strategies, such as reuse, can intensify the use of garments. However, a deeper understanding of the current fulfilment of the need for clothing is essential for the effective implementation of circular economy strategies. To this end, we conducted an extensive wardrobe study on 156 adults living in Flanders (Belgium) in 2024. The study finds that participants had, on average, 198 garments in their wardrobe, of which only 2% was pre-owned and 22% was dormant (not used in the last 12 months). Further, 75% of dormant clothes are in good enough condition for reuse. This shows the considerable untapped potential to intensify the use of garments currently trapped in wardrobes. However, the results suggest that the potential to reactivate dormant garments is limited for two reasons: First, participants are unwilling to part with over half of their dormant garments, primarily because they believe they will prove useful in the future. Second, the observed scarcity of pre-owned garments in wardrobes suggests a low demand for reusable garments. The findings in this study provide essential groundwork for developing more effective policies to promote the full utilisation of garments in the transition to a CE for consumer clothing.

En las últimas décadas, la educación tradicional ha experimentado una metamorfosis significativa, transitando de un paradigma centrado en la transmisión unidireccional de conocimientos por parte del docente a un enfoque inclusivo y participativo. Influenciados por avances en la psicología educativa y la pedagogía, los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje se han transformado en experiencias interactivas y colaborativas, donde estudiantes y docentes comparten un papel activo en la construcción del conocimiento. Por tal razón se plantea la investigación "Aprendizaje Cooperativo y el Rendimiento Académico en la Asignatura Organización Administrativa y Contable", el objetivo aplicar el aprendizaje cooperativo como estrategia didáctica para mejorar el rendimiento académico en la asignatura Organización Administrativa y Contable en primero de Bachillerato técnico figura profesional Ventas e Información Turística en la Unidad Educativa Diana Esther Guerrero Vargas ubicada en el cantón Sucre provincia de Manabí. El estudio identifica varios factores que afectan negativamente el rendimiento, como la falta de motivación y la escasa capacitación docente en metodologías innovadoras. La implementación del aprendizaje cooperativo se presenta como solución que puede mejorar tanto el rendimiento académico como las habilidades sociales y la participación activa. La investigación llevó a cabo mediante un enfoque mixto, combinando técnicas cuantitativas y cualitativas para analizar la influencia del aprendizaje cooperativo en el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes de primer año de bachillerato. Los resultados de la investigación sugieren que el aprendizaje cooperativo tiene un efecto positivo significativo en el rendimiento académico en la asignatura de Organización Administrativa y Contable. Esto apoya la hipótesis planteada y sugiere que el aprendizaje cooperativo es una estrategia efectiva para mejorar el rendimiento académico en este contexto.

A acalasia é uma patologia rara, com incidência aproximada de 1 em 100.000, sem distinção entre sexo, porém podemos ressaltar que ela pode ser uma doença secundaria a patologia de chagas. A fisiopatologia pode ser entendida como uma plexopatia mioentérica autoimune, por vias de anticorpos, relacionado com o esfíncter esofágico inferior, e no corpo do esôfago pode ser descrita como uma neuropatia generalizada, podendo apresentar como sintomas mais comuns a disfagia, regurgitação, perda de peso e entre outros podendo evoluir até para um deslocamento do conteúdo para as vias respiratórias. Este estudo então se propôs a entender os desdobramentos de uma acalasia tardiamente diagnosticada, a partir de um caso clínico real e tensionando a descoberta da patologia e sua relação com o estilo de vida da paciente. A pesquisa, analisou o caso do paciente M.S,em que foi investigado seu estilo de vida prévio, os sintomas que a acometeram,
os procedimentos e métodos utilizados no paciente no decorrer do caso e o resultado da doença como um todo, sendo essas informações embasadas através de exames clínicos, declarações médicas e relatos do paciente. Os resultados devem mostrar ao leitor novas direções para uma descoberta mais breve dessa doença, a fim de evitar que os sintomas relatados possam ser fatores distratores e atrasar o diagnóstico.

A inserção das Tecnologias da Informação e da Comunicação (TICs) no contexto educacional é um fenômeno amplamente reconhecido, que tem sido aprofundado por diversos estudos. A pandemia de Covid-19 acelerou a adoção de aulas remotas e trouxe à tona a importância das TICs, destacando que seu uso por si só não garante a eficácia no ensino-aprendizagem. Nessa perspectiva, o presente estudo tem como objetivo discutir as novas TICs no ensino de História, mostrando que uma educação moderna deve incorporar essas tecnologias de maneira eficaz, com uma formação adequada dos professores e a aplicação de metodologias ativas. A metodologia utilizada foi uma revisão bibliográfica, abordando contribuições de autores como Kenski (2003), que enfatiza a importância da educação para a inclusão tecnológica e a formação crítica dos educadores; Vasconcelos e Colares (2020), que discutem o impacto das TICs nos programas educativos; e Trindade (2015), que observa o impacto das tecnologias na dinâmica educacional. Concluiu-se que, embora as TICs ofereçam diversas potencialidades para a construção do conhecimento histórico e para a modernização do ensino, é importante que os professores estejam preparados para integrar essas tecnologias de maneira pedagógica, e que as escolas se adaptem continuamente para maximizar os benefícios dessas ferramentas no processo educativo.

Mais de 60 anos após o golpe burgo-militar brasileiro, se faz necessário relembrar a história desse período e dos profissionais que fizeram parte dessa máquina de guerra. Neste ensaio teórico, o principal objetivo é discutir como se configurou o afeto biopolítico da esperança produzida pelo regime ditatorial brasileiro e sua relação com o saber-fazer da Psicologia que havia nascido de forma oficial no Brasil pouco antes do golpe. Pretendo discutir os usos biopolitícos do afeto da esperança e compreender como o regime trabalhou com o afeto biopolítico da esperança em sua máquina de guerra estatal. Buscarei entender também como o saber-fazer psi brasileiro foi afetado por esse contexto e como, inevitavelmente, fez parte direta de sua construção. Percebemos, então, que o regime burgo-militar produziu uma forma muito específica do afeto da esperança na população brasileira que se alinhou com seus interesses de aceleracionismo econômico urbanista e de controle dos corpos, na medida também que o saber-fazer psi teve papel importante nesse processo. Exploramos o saber-fazer psi no período do regime afim de pensar práticas psi para além do controle pensado por autores que estudaram o período.
