Published: January 2025

The study of the properties of probiotic microorganisms is currently a relevant area in microbiology, biotechnology and medicine, which expands our knowledge of the evolution of their relationship with the human body and its microbiome, and also opens up new prospects for the practical use of active probiotic strains to maintain health and prevent and treat various pathological conditions. The review provides data on the known biological effects of probiotics, characterized mechanisms of the body's relationship with probiotic microorganisms, and highlighted their role in improving immunological status. Particular attention is paid to the possibilities of practical use of probiotic microorganisms, particularly strains of the genus Bacillus, for the treatment of infectious diseases. The results of studies confirming the effectiveness of probiotic strains against pathogenic microorganisms are presented.
Порівняльний аналіз життєвості деревних насаджень Криворізького району в умовах степу
Authors: Kvitko M. O.
Published: January 2025

Чимало видів рослин у природних екосистемах Степового Придніпров’я перебувають під загрозою зникнення, що, своєю чергою, може призвести до зниження біорізноманіття. Важливу роль у вирішенні цієї проблеми відіграють ботанічні сади Дніпропетровського національного університету імені Олеся Гончара, Криворізького державного педагогічного університету та Криворізького ботанічного саду Національної академії наук України, а також штучні лісові екосистеми в Дніпровському регіоні, які є унікальним біоресурсом генофонду рослин. У спеціальних штучних умовах підтримується існування певної частини представників раритетної флори. Це дозволяє за необхідності здійснити їх реінтродукцію, де вони існували раніше, але були втрачені. Ефективною формою збереження біорізноманіття в Дніпровському регіоні можна вважати створення так званих місцевих генних банків, у яких зберігається як насіння рослин, так і заморожені культури тканин або статеві клітини. Сучасні тенденції напрямків розвитку наукових дискусій з проблем раціонального природокористування сходяться до імплементації парадигми стійкого розвитку регіонів. Цей процес пов'язаний з удосконаленням оптимальних умов фізіології дерев із планування землекористування та природоохоронної діяльності. Також треба зазначити, що досвід європейських країн на національному, регіональному і місцевому рівнях вирішують питання, пов'язані з дослідженням відновлювання лісових екосистем та штучних деревних насаджень з інтродукованими, а також з можливими спонтанними заростаннями адвентивних видів. У процесі роботи було закладено 20 моніторингових ділянок у деревних екосистемах, що перебувають під впливом природних і техногенних абіотичних факторів, на яких установлювали вертикальну структуру, вимірювали висоту і діаметр стовбура на відстані 1,5 м від землі дерев І–ІІІ ярусів. У камеральних умовах розраховували запас стовбурної деревини та суму площ поперечних перерізів. Результати вимірів і розрахунків статистично опрацьовували.
Generation Z and The Direction of Character Education in School - Focused on the mental health status of generation Z adolescents -
Authors:   res inst edu sci, Kim Dong-chang
Published: January 2025

Education must consider the philosophical discourse about human nature[性], the context and circumstances of the times and the students who grow within that environment. Character education in schools, which is a hot topic in the field of education, holds practical educational significance when it takes into account both the philosophical discourse of “humanity” and the characteristics of adolescents living in the digital era. Accordingly, this study aims to discuss character education in schools for Generation Z adolescents, for whom smartphones have become an integral part of life. Recent indicators related to the mental health of Generation Z adolescents have significantly deteriorated compared to previous generations. The psychological depression, stress, anxiety, and loneliness of Generation Z adolescents have reached worrisome level. Thus, this study will first examine the relationship between the mental health of Generation Z adolescents and the popularization of digital devices including smartphones. Based on this, the study suggests the necessity of implementing "Social and Emotional Learning" as part of the formal curriculum and "Play" education as part of the hidden curriculum to enhance the mental health of Generation Z adolescents.
Mapuche Hip Hop in Time, Space and Testimony
Authors: Rekedal Jacob
Published: January 2025

This article describes an archival project about Mapuche hip hop, with digital primary sources and testimonies. The project includes a database and cartography highlighting the importance of Mapuche hip hop as a decolonizing artistic practice. In the collaborative and multifaceted sense of hip hop, the archive deals not only with music and events, but also with posters (visual art) and audiovisual productions. Based on digital media, the archive delineates a history that began several decades ago, and that bridges multiple generations of artists as well as different geographical areas. The quantity and complexity of the contents of the archive demand a systematic approach, but not from science as hegemonic epistemology. Hence the incorporation of oral testimonies, in order to place the perspectives of Mapuche rappers at the centre of our work. Ethnomusicology, concerned with ethics but weighed down by the colonial baggage of its origins, provides a useful but sometimes problematic backdrop for this project. We started in 2019 by organizing elements based on contextual details, for example hip hop as a pedagogical tool, as a political discourse and as an arena for artistic experimentation. We have also considered music as a means of circulating information and ideas within and beyond Mapuche territory. The archive facilitates the careful study of Mapuche hip hop and its history from multiple angles.

Looking good and feeling better. Healthism in weight loss apps
Authors: Martin-Vicario Lara
Published: January 2025

Healthism is a discourse in which health is moralised, placing responsibility on individuals to maintain their health and, therefore, actively work towards it. Within this context, weight loss apps in app stores are presented as tools for users to achieve their desired state of health. Consequently, weight and fat are problematised, which can lead to stigmatising effects on overweight individuals. This study aims to analyse the descriptors used in 95 weight loss applications through thematic analysis. As their discourses have a clear persuasive intent, it is essential to identify their health-promoting components. The results have shown four ways in which this type of health discourse is perpetuated: (1) emphasising the use of body mass index as an indicator of health status; (2) attributing poor lifestyle habits to overweight individuals; (3) associating thinness with health and health with beauty; (4) equating thinness with wellbeing, wellbeing with happiness, and being overweight with unhappiness. Therefore, identifying these types of components is crucial for health professionals, app users, and developers to avoid perpetuating stereotypes related to weight and body size.
Insights on film and TV series analysis in sociology in times of digital media spread
Authors: Rossi Túlio
Published: January 2025

This article aims to combine research agendas on Digital Sociology and the Sociology of cinema, explicitly considering the spread of Serial TV Shows on streaming platforms such as Netflix and HBO-Max. Since the early 2000s, with Web 2.0 allowing a shift in the traffic and consumption of multimedia–music, photos, videos, and animation– on the Internet, the presence of audiovisual content in everyday life has become more intensified than before with cinema and broadcast television. It is argued in this paper that this technological shift changes how societies and individuals relate to electronically mediated images and constitute symbolic and valuation references through social life. However, much of the cultural and imagistic references set in motion in present digital media were established by cinema and television currently in the 20th century, being seen in a naturalized way, although historically produced. This paper reviews Pierre Sorlín’s sociological approach to films as ideological productions, contributing to form historical and social shared ways of conceiving reality, and Sorlin’s methodological guidelines for analyzing films. However, the differences between cinema and television series are considered, according to Esquenazi’s approach to TV series. Nevertheless, this paper highlights how technical and cultural specificities of today’s digital media, paired with a deep individualization process, set new analytical challenges. So, it is presented an analytical reflection that places together connectivity and cinematic culture in order to comprehend how today’s ideologies are partly influenced by specific recurrent imagistic constructions diffused by streaming platforms by using cinema and television languages.
CARTOGRAFÍAS NARRATIVO-RETÓRICAS PARA LA INCLUSIÓN EDUCATIVA: ESCENARIOS DE ACTUACION PROFESIONAL EN SITUACIONES DE APOYO ESCOLAR
Authors: Soto Cárcamo Jorge , Figueroa-Céspedes Ignacio , Fica-Pinol Esteban
Published: January 2025

En Chile, construir escuelas inclusivas implica definir el rol y el accionar de los equipos de apoyo en el Programa de Integración Escolar (PIE). Sin embargo, se ha reportado que este proyecto desarrolla una serie de enfoques simultáneos (integrador/inclusivo), basados en el déficit y el encapsulamiento profesional que impiden obturar las actuaciones profesionales de los equipos en las situaciones de apoyo escolar. Así, se busca comprender cómo los profesionales del PIE definen e intervienen en situaciones de apoyo educativo en 7 instituciones educativas chilenas. Se desarrolla una metodología cualitativa con enfoque narrativo-retórico, examinando 52 incidentes críticos, de los cuales se seleccionan 10 casos ejemplares. Los resultados destacan: 1) Dificultades con las estrategias de enseñanza y aprendizaje, 2) Incidentes conductuales/disciplinarios de estudiantes, 3) Dificultades para el Trabajo colaborativo y 4) Dificultades en las Relaciones con familias. Se discute la predominancia de actuaciones restringido-individualizadoras que privilegian un enfoque integrador, además de mapear cómo los profesionales clausuran/abren sus escenarios de intervención. Se concluye que la propuesta metodológica proporciona herramientas enriquecedoras para profundizar en la definición e intervención de situaciones educativas, y su relevancia para la formación inicial y continua para profesionales de la educación.
The Black Book of Carmarthen and its Owners
Authors: Williams Myriah
Published: January 2025

This article traces the later history of NLW Peniarth MS 1 (Llyfr Du Caerfyrddin, 'The Black Book of Carmarthen') through its owners, borrowers and readers. The primary body of evidence consists of marginalia left by these individuals in the manuscript's pages, including sixteenth-century
verses and a series of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century ownership notes. Much of this marginalia was erased, possibly in stages beginning around the sixteenth century, and has been recently recovered through multispectral imaging. External evidence, such as a lost memorandum by Sir John
Prise, early modern copies of the Black Book, and catalogues are also discussed. The picture that emerges from this evidence suggests that the Black Book was in south Wales, probably around Carmarthen, in the first part of the sixteenth century. There, it passed between the hands of poets
perhaps associated with the circles of Lewys Glyn Cothi and Gruffydd Dwnn. By the latter half of the same century the book was owned by William Salesbury, and it had made its way to north Wales sometime before 1587. In the 1580s the Black Book appears to have spent time in Llanfair Dyffryn
Clwyd, circulating among poets and scholars including Siôn Tudur, Simwnt Fychan and David Johns; sometime during this period a quire that had been displaced in the manuscript was put back in order. Jaspar Gryffyth had acquired the Black Book by 1604, after which it made its way ultimately
to Robert Vaughan's library at Hengwrt.
Las otras víctimas del feminicidio: reparación integral y violencia institucional en Ecuador
Authors: Álvarez-Velasco Carla M. , Laufer-Corella Alejandro
Published: January 2025

El hecho de que la violencia institucional anula los intentos de la justicia restaurativa por reparar a los hijos y las hijas de las víctimas de feminicidio en Ecuador motiva la reflexión del presente artículo. El análisis se basa en más de un centenar de sentencias judiciales emitidas entre 2014 y 2021 en seis provincias del país. Además, se aplicaron 20 entrevistas en profundidad a funcionarios y funcionarias del sistema judicial y del sistema de protección social de víctimas. También se construyó un modelo causal que evidencia el conjunto de consecuencias derivadas de la violencia institucional y de género. Entre los principales hallazgos se encontró que existe una limitada comprensión por parte del funcionariado judicial de lo que implica la reparación integral de las otras víctimas del feminicidio. Dicho de otro modo, en las sentencias judiciales revisadas se pudo constatar que no siempre se ordena la aplicación de todos los mecanismos legales para reparar a los hijos y a las hijas de las víctimas letales de la violencia de género (reparación, rehabilitación, indemnización, medidas simbólicas y garantías de no repetición). Estos resultados revelan que estos niños y estas niñas son victimizados por la sociedad y por el Estado cuando este no hace lo posible por restaurar sus derechos.
Migraciones, género y trabajo juvenil: transiciones superpuestas en sectores populares de Argentina
Authors: Gerbaudo-Suárez Débora
Published: January 2025

En el artículo se exploran las trayectorias de jóvenes de familias paraguayas residentes en barrios periféricos del Gran Buenos Aires, indagando su relación con los mercados de trabajo a los que ingresan y con la ciudad que habitan. De esta forma, el objeto de estudio lo constituyen los y las migrantes y también quienes nacieron en Argentina, pero viven en hogares transnacionales. Se desarrolló una etnografía colaborativa que implicó la observación participante y entrevistas a jóvenes en el entorno de sus familias, de los grupos de pares y de organizaciones comunitarias. Los resultados muestran que constituyen juventudes de clases populares y que enfrentan procesos de exclusión del mercado laboral en espacios sociourbanos segregados. Aunque también visibilizan las particularidades de sus transiciones juveniles, se perciben las desigualdades interseccionales de género, de etnia, de raza y de clase que experimentan, ligadas a la condición migratoria de sus familias. En conclusión, su inserción en trabajos precarizados asociados a nichos laborales de migrantes, si bien genera identidad en el espacio urbano, también reproduce las desigualdades de clase en las familias. A su vez, aunque las transiciones de las jóvenes reflejan mayores desigualdades debido a los estereotipos de género y de clase, también evidencian que a través del trabajo de cuidados comunitarios disputan su derecho a una ciudad desde una perspectiva feminista.
Identidad laboral y prácticas profesionales en Chile: experiencias en la educación técnica secundaria
Authors: Sepúlveda-Valenzuela Leandro , Valdebenito-Infante María José
Published: January 2025

Los estudios sobre la transición sistema educativo-trabajo tradicionalmente se han centrado en las formas en que los y las jóvenes movilizan sus capitales y se adaptan a las condiciones que ofrecen los distintos espacios laborales. Sin embargo, también resulta importante considerar la incidencia del trabajo y de la vida laboral en la reelaboración de las subjetividades y de las relaciones sociales de las nuevas generaciones en los lugares donde inician su experiencia profesional. En este artículo se analiza esta preocupación a partir de la incidencia de la práctica profesional en la educación técnica secundaria en Chile. Los dispositivos institucionales de intermediación y los agentes que participan en su implementación juegan un rol relevante en la transición educación-trabajo, pero, paradójicamente existe escasa investigación sobre estos actores, acerca de los procesos y de casi todo lo relacionado con sus logros y debilidades. Se ahonda en este tema mediante un enfoque cualitativo en una muestra de establecimientos educativos técnico-profesionales en Santiago de Chile. Con base en entrevistas semiestructuradas a docentes y a egresados y egresadas, se describen los principales mecanismos de gestión de las prácticas profesionales. Se concluye que, si bien son criticables las condiciones de implementación, existe una alta valoración de estas prácticas como inducción al mundo del trabajo, especialmente por el aprendizaje social contenido en tales experiencias.
Precariedad laboral y juventudes: los mercados de trabajo en Argentina, Brasil, Colombia y México
Authors: Florez-Vaquiro Nelson , Hincapíe-Aldana Lia Alejandra
Published: January 2025

La precariedad laboral es un fenómeno multidimensional que afecta gravemente a la población joven en América Latina. En el presente artículo, basado en la información proporcionada por encuestas aplicadas a hogares en Argentina, Brasil, Colombia y México en 2023, se analizan cuatro de sus dimensiones: inestabilidad, desprotección social, ingresos insuficientes y subocupación. Los resultados del estudio revelan que en México y Argentina las personas jóvenes asalariadas tienen las condiciones más precarias, mientras que Brasil mostró los menores niveles entre los cuatro países; México presenta la mayor prevalencia, seguido de Colombia y Argentina. En todos los países las mujeres jóvenes son las más afectadas y existe una asociación entre la precariedad laboral, las características sociodemográficas y las estructuras de los mercados laborales. Las personas con menos edad dentro de este grupo etario y aquellas con menor nivel de escolaridad son quienes experimentan condiciones más desfavorables. Por sector de actividad, en México se reportan más problemas en el sector primario, mientras que en Argentina, Brasil y Colombia ocurre en los servicios personales. Las mujeres jóvenes, independientemente del nivel de escolaridad y del sector de actividad, registran mayores niveles de precariedad, lo que agrava la desigualdad de género. En las conclusiones se plantean acciones que promuevan la inclusión de las juventudes en empleos formales.

Artificial Intelligence in the workplace and as a tool for occupational safety
From the perspective of occupational safety, artificial intelligence must be viewed as a means of production and work in the company, including potentially associated risk factors. But AI can also be used to better and easier understand complex work environments and to identify risks. However, there are still few concrete recommendations for action for both aspects. Until then, it helps to focus on existing starting points with more general criteria.

Artificial intelligence, standardization and occupational safety – An interaction with far-reaching significance for business practice
Artificial intelligence (AI) can become a decisive competitive advantage for Germany as a business location and also bring a lot of benefits for work design and occupational safety. Used correctly, AI can improve products and services AND make work safer and more enjoyable. However, in order to
create this WIN-WIN situation, the rules of the game must be followed. This is currently establishing the EU AI Regulation, which is being legally specified through harmonized standards – with direct reference to occupational health and safety as well as specific obligations for employers in Germany. However, the fact that European standardization should set the tone here is a novelty on various levels, which must be consciously accompanied and controlled both politically and practically.

The dynamic nature of the world of work is bringing more and more different people together, which places demands on individuals and the entire workforce. “Age diversity” is particularly important in the workplace, with four generations usually working in companies at the same time. The Hall in Tirol Occupational Health Centre addresses the potential for conflict between the generations and other differences – and identifies measures to improve cooperation. Practical experience has now been confirmed by a study.
Erdőtelepítési potenciál becslése termőhelyi adatbázisok alapján
Authors: Illés Gábor , Schiberna Endre
Published: January 2025

A Kaán Károly országfásítási program keretében vizsgáltuk meg az erdőtelepítési potenciál változását hazánkban. A vizsgálatok során két klímaváltozási forgatókönyvet vettünk alapul, az RCP 4.5 és az RCP 8.5 kibocsátási előrejelzésekre alapozva. Azt határoztuk meg, hogy a gyenge minőségű szántók, a gyep-legelő, illetve a jó minőségű, de meredek szántók esetében körülbelül mekkora területek lehetnének erdősíthetők a jövőben és hogyan változik ez a lehetőség az időben. Tartósan erdősíthető területeknek azokat tekintettük, amelyek erdőtalajon találhatók, és/vagy a faállományok számára elérhető többlet vízellátással rendelkeznek, valamint a becsült fatermesztési potenciáljuk eléri legalább a IV. fatermési osztályt. Az eredmények azt mutatták, hogy jelenleg kb. 456 ezer ha erdősítésre alkalmas terület lehet a gyenge minőségű szántóterületek között, viszont ebből csak 123 ezer ha található erdőtalajokon. A gyep, ill. legelőterületekkel kiegészítve, hasonló feltételek mellett ez a szám 262 ezer ha-ra emelkedhet. A klímaváltozás hatására azonban – az egyes forgatókönyvek függvényében a vizsgált földhasználati kategóriákban – 30 évente minimum kb. 10%-kal csökken az erdősítésre alkalmas területek aránya. Ezen felül a természetvédelmi szempontok érvényesítése további területcsökkenéssel jár.
Elemental Beings Claim for Help: How Anthropogenic Actions Impact the Subtle World and Its Inhabitants
Authors: Medeiros Costa Neto Eraldo , Estellita Lins Ana Cecilia
Published: January 2025

This research uses a non-Cartesian theoretical basis to present the consequences of the ecological disasters on elementals, also known as fairy beings, who live in the subtle earthly world. As a matter of fact, catastrophes around the world have had a huge impact on elementals, bringing illnesses, deformities and death. The aim of this paper is not only to introduce liminal biology as an area of research in spiritual ecology, and to emphasize the importance of fairy beings in the ecological maintenance of the planet, but also to report how ecological changes have impact on their living conditions.
Jedra puna „antiheroizma“. Poetika i politika putopisa „Besa: brodski dnevnik“ Jože Horvata
Authors: Matošević Andrea
Published: January 2025

U radu se kroz nekoliko dominantnih značajki interpretiraju aspekti putopisa Jože Horvata "Besa: brodski dnevnik". Nastao kao niz članaka objavljenih u Vjesniku u srijedu od 1965. do 1967., ovaj putopis u narativnom i sadržajnom aspektu karakterizira nekoliko specifičnosti poput „antiherojskoga“ i „samoironijskoga“ tona u kojima je pisan, ali i pitanja Drugosti, koje se šezdesetih godina, kada je brodski dnevnik pisan, artikuliraju dvostruko. Posada „Bese“ i sama biva gdjekad interpretirana „Drugom“, budući da dolazi iz socijalističke zemlje, no zasade takvoga društvenoga uređenja istovremeno su interpretacijski okvir u koji autor smješta niz odnosa i situacija kakvima svjedoči.
Od Naselja sunca do Kuršumlije: deegzotizacija i distopijski lokalpatriotizam u srpskoj naučnoj fantastici
Authors: Putnik Noel
Published: January 2025

U radu se na nekoliko primera razmatra distopijska tematika srpske naučne fantastike u protekle četiri decenije. To je period kada pisci naučne fantastike nastoje da se etabliraju u očima književnog mainstreama tako što sve više napuštaju svoje (anglofone) spisateljske pseudonime i počinju da vezuju tematiku svojih tekstova za lokalni socijalni, politički, istorijski i etnografski kontekst. Time i distopijski motivi dobijaju lokalni karakter. Rad pokazuje kako su pragmatična nastojanja marginalizovane grupe autora da literarnom emancipacijom stekne veći ugled i bolju poziciju na tržištu, u sprezi sa opštijim procesom retradicionalizacije, proizvela plodnu interakciju između globalnog i lokalnog u domenu književne distopije.
Mineração e Meio Urbano
Authors: Lima Filho Walter Araújo de , Levino Natallya de Almeida
Published: January 2025

The study aims to identify, from a socio-urbanistic perspective, the impacts caused by the mining disaster in Maceió and the measures taken by the stakeholders involved in the damage repair. The significance of the study is aligned with the need to understand the effects of this disaster, which is considered one of the largest ongoing in a metropolitan region in Brazil and Latin America. The results indicate that the impacts are substantial, altering the structural dynamics of the territory in both material and immaterial aspects. Moreover, based on the perception of the mitigation measures and the theoretical context raised, it is necessary to apply measures and reparations from the individual's perspective to effectively resolve the negative effects, as the observed impacts go beyond the material and compensatory realm. As a contribution, the study provides additional theoretical support to conclude the disaster's impacts in the socio-urbanistic context and offers social implications by qualifying the measures already presented by the stakeholders involved in the process. It also emphasizes the need for specialist collaboration in understanding the scope of the impacts and the necessity to place the individual at the center of resolutions addressing the disaster's implications on the local context.

Authors: Arruda Amanda Grazielle Rodrigues de , Fernandes Carlos Felipe Aschoff , Monteiro Eliana Cristina Barreto , Carvalho Laiane Maria de , Melo Maria Eduarda Santana de
Published: January 2025

This article describes the transformation of an old wheat flour factory, located in the center of the city of Recife – Pernambuco, into a multi-use corporate and residential complex called Edifício Moinho Recife Business & Life, thus becoming a symbol of urban resilience. The Moinho Recife Business & Life reuses the factory structure, maintaining some of the original characteristics. Through this article, in addition to the history of the old factory and the architectural design of the retrofit project, the pathological manifestations found in the building will be described. Documents and photographic collections were analyzed from inspections carried out at the old factory and the architectural design of the mill building. It was concluded that urban resilience is important for the sustainable development of cities and that, through the retrofit process, even with high degradation, old buildings can be recovered, and their historical context, preserved.
Exploring innovative organizational culture in technological ecosystem startups
Authors: Alabau-Tejada Nuria , Pérez-Alfonso Lorena , Gómez-Sota Fátima
Published: January 2025

This article posits the need for contemporary organizations to move from a traditional Organizational Culture model to an Innovative Organizational Culture model that incorporates values, philosophies and work practices that can engage and motivate the latest generations of employees. Two technological startups located in the entrepreneurial hub of La Marina in Valencia (Spain) are analyzed. Starting from an initial qualitative approach, an “ad hoc” questionnaire focusing on Organizational Culture is designed to ascertain how employees perceive their culture, detect which values and innovative management practices they most appreciate, and determine whether different generations of employees perceive the Organizational Culture of their company differently. From the results obtained, an Innovative Organizational Culture model is proposed that takes into account new cultural factors such as enjoyment, flexibility, teamwork, proactivity, effective communication, work challenges and innovation from an intergenerational perspective.
Forges en la gran pantalla: País, S.A. (1975) y El Bengador Gusticiero y su pastelera madre (1977)
Authors: Asión Suñer Ana
Published: January 2025

Antonio Fraguas (“Forges”) was part of a series of cartoonists who, at the begin-ning of the seventies, decided to use humor as a tool to talk about a country that the Regime had sought to silence for too long. Through his comic strips in magazines such as Hermano Lobo or Por Favor, he made social criticism that achieved great success among readers. Circumstance that led Forges himself to explore a new medium: cin-ema. País S.A. and El Bengador Gusticiero y su pastelera madre were two products born from the interest in experimenting with a different format, but also from the idea that society had achieved the level of maturity necessary to laugh at itself.
En torno a la obra de Roque Balduque en la Baja Extremadura: el caso de la Virgen de Llerena
Authors: Rodríguez Bote María Teresa
Published: January 2025

This paper aims to prove the attribution of a Marian statue, (mis)named Assumption, lodged in Llerena (south-west Spain), to Flemish carver Roque de Balduque. By means of a comparative analysis with other known works of this master, several morphological analogies in the arrangement of drapery and facial features are clearly identified, such as the complexity of the mantle folds, and the positioning of the hands, among other elements. It is furthermore stated that this image actually embodies an early type of Immaculate Conception rather than an Assumption, according to certain iconographic details. Hence Balduque’s activity in southern Extremadura is limited to this piece from Llerena, distinguished by its quality and distinctive imprint, and which was probably commissioned in Seville.
Conflictos entre plateros sevillanos en el siglo XVIII: la disputa de Vicente Gargallo y Alexandre con Antonio Méndez por ciertas alhajas para la iglesia de San Pedro de Cartaya (Huelva)

Published: January 2025

At the end of the 18th century, the purchase of certain jewelry for liturgical use for the parish church of San Pedro de Cartaya, in the County of Niebla, jurisdiction of the Marquisate of Gibraleón, caused a strong dispute between two Sevillian silversmiths. The careful reading of an unpublished document, preserved in the General Archive of the Archbishopric of Seville, provides us with important information on the way of proceeding in the acquisition of these pieces of liturgical goldsmithing in the diocese of Seville and on the sometimes dishonest procedure of the silversmiths to get the orders.
Martín Mostaza, de Fermín Solís. Los días más largos, El año que vimos nevar y Mi organismo en obras
Authors: Gracia Lana Julio
Published: January 2025

This text focuses on the analysis of three works developed by the cartoonist and illustrator Fermín Solís (Madroñera, Cáceres, 1972): Los días más largos (Ediciones Balboa, 2003), El año que vimos nevar (Astiberri, 2005) and Mi organismo en obras (Ediciones La Cúpula, 2011). They arise at different moments in his career, but are connected to each other by his main character, Martín Mostaza, and by the autobio-graphical development that arises in each of them. The analysis of it occurs on a narra-tive and aesthetic level, but also in the supposed reflection of Spain's own social and cultural evolution.
Algunas novelas gráficas sobre Frida Kahlo. De Flâneuse al kahloismo
Authors: Lladó Pol Francisca
Published: January 2025

Although the numerous graphic novels about Frida Kahlo focus on the biography of the artist, contributing to the consolidation of a myth that alternates the topics of feminism and exoticism. For this reason, in this article we have opted for a thematic selection that has biased psychobiography in favour of border issues such as Mexi-canness and political commitment. Through an analytical reading of the creative pro-cess of scriptwriters and illustrators, their attitude of flâneuse has been emphasised, thanks to literal drawings or drawings derived from symbolic exchanges. It is about outlining that there are different ways of approaching an artist that transcend her per-sonal life, as well as there are different illustrators and scriptwriters who go beyond appearances.

High Molecular Weight (HMW) DNA extraction apple leaves for nanopore long-read sequencing v1
Authors: Venon Anthony , Dadole Ronan
Published: January 2025

High Molecular Weight (HMW) DNA is crucial for long-read sequencing applications using sequencers such as Oxford Nanopore Technologies' (ONT) MinION and PromethION. To ensure the collection of a pure DNA sample, it is critical to maintain a 260/280 absorbance ratio within the range of 1.8 to 2.0 and a 260/230 absorbance ratio between 2.0 and 2.2. Moreover, the sample must demonstrate high yield and integrity, indicating the absence of sheared DNA (1). These requirements highlight the need for a carefully optimized protocol that aligns with the unique biological characteristics of the sample type (2). In this study, we tested and modified the ONT DNA extraction protocol (3) specifically for apple leaf samples.Following the standard protocol outlined on the ONT website, we faced significant challenges, particularly with certain genotypes collected in situ or under stress conditions. A primary issue was the effective resuspension of DNA pellets, which often resulted in considerable sample loss. This adapted protocol introduces few modifications to the ONT DNA extraction protocol that have been specifically designed for apple leaves, along with the outcomes of these methodological enhancements.

This workflow provides a structured approach for processing biodiversity data to ensure quality, consistency, and global accessibility. It begins with data preparation, extracting biodiversity records from Excel spreadsheets or CSV files, identifying and resolving missing, duplicate, or improperly formatted entries. Taxonomic cleaning utilizes Pytaxon, a Python-based tool, to verify and correct taxonomic names using reliable databases like Catalogue of Life and GBIF Backbone Taxonomy. Geographical cleaning follows, validating coordinates against Darwin Core (DwC) standards and correcting errors such as swapped latitudes and longitudes. Data standardization organizes fields to meet DwC requirements, ensuring interoperability across platforms. Integration into Specify involves importing validated and standardized datasets into its database, enabling robust data management. Finally, the workflow concludes with publication on GBIF via the Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT), making the data globally accessible. This semi-automated approach ensures high-quality biodiversity data for research, conservation, and informed decision-making on a global scale.

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the High Diploma in Teacher Education Program at the University of Jordan as Perceived by EFL Student-Teachers, and to investigate statistically significant differences (α = 0.05) in the EFL student-teachers’ estimations of the program’s effectiveness due to their gender. The sample of this study consisted of 46 EFL student-teachers registered in the High Diploma in Teacher Education Program at the University of Jordan, during the academic year 2022-2023. The total number of EFL student-teachers consisted of 54 students distributed to two sections. The sample was purposefully chosen upon availability from the two EFL student-teacher sections which consisted of 36 female student-teachers and represented 78% of the sample, and 10 male student-teachers which represented 22% of the chosen sample. To achieve the aims of the study, a 37 Likert item survey was distributed on three main domains of teachers’ standards and was applied to the sample of the study.  The results of the study showed that the effectiveness of the High Diploma in Teacher Education program at the University of Jordan on the overall and separate scale was high; standard 3 (Professional Ethics) ranked first, then standard 2 (Professional Practice) ranked second. Finally, standard 1 (Professional Knowledge) ranked third. On the other hand, the results of the study showed that there were statistically significant differences (α= 0.05) in the EFL student-teachers’ estimations of the program effectiveness due to their gender in favor of female student-teachers.
The Power of Self-Talk for Speaking Anxiety Reduction Among EFL Learners
Authors: Alnaeem Lubna A.
Published: January 2025

As a necessary skill for learners to express themselves proficiently, speaking has always been an important goal in EFL learning. Despite its importance, many learners experience varying levels of anxiety that disturbs or even constrains their speaking performance. This study aims to examine levels of public speaking anxiety among Saudi EFL university students and frequencies of different types of self-talk implementation. The study also investigates the relationship between self-talk and PSA and the learner’s perceptions of these two variables. The results of the study showed that more than half of the participants (53.2%) were highly anxious while the remaining participants were either moderate or low anxious as represented by almost equal percentages (24.8%), (22%) respectively. The study also indicated that all participants had either moderate or high frequency of self-talk and its subcategories while no participants had low frequency of both total and subcategories of self-talk. The findings also proved that there was a negative correlation between public speaking anxiety and self-reinforcement. Qualitative analysis supported quantitative results in this study and some important recommendations were suggested based on the findings.

YouTube has become a widely used platform for accessing entertainment, information, and news without duration limits. Given the poor quality of some health-related content on YouTube, it is necessary to conduct research to improve health education communication standards on the platform. This study employs a qualitative case study approach to explore the application of the AIDDA Model in enhancing communication on the YouTube channel Inspirational Online Talk (BIONS) Series, specifically episodes 136-141, which focus on health communication. The AIDDA Model encompasses five stages: Attention, by sharing updated information on social media; Interest, by featuring expert sources; Desire, through a persuasive, friendly approach and prize draws to encourage interaction; Decisions, by considering viewer responses as social proof of the channel's credibility; and Action, indicated by audience engagement through likes, comments, subscriptions, and shares. The study reveals that BIONS effectively enhances health communication by adhering to these stages. Key factors for successful communication strategies on BIONS include the accuracy of information, audience engagement, creative presentations, and easy-to-understand language. Additionally, the research underscores the need to continually update video topics by identifying relevant subjects, monitoring trends, and using credible sources to ensure accuracy and sustainability. This responsible approach highlights the importance of fact-checking and combating misinformation in the digital era.

Mitos y Realidades en la Educación: Explorando la relación entre Escuelas, Museos y la Formación Docente
Authors: Lucas-Palacios Laura , Ponsoda-López de Atalaya Santiago
Published: January 2025

Este estudio se ha realizado con la finalidad de explorar las percepciones que el profesorado en formación inicial tiene de los museos como espacios educativos donde pueda implementar actividades didácticas transformadoras y significativas. Para ello se realiza un estudio de intervención antes-después sin grupo control utilizando como instrumento de recogida de información dos cuestionarios que se pasaron a 224 estudiantes matriculados en los Grados en Educación Infantil y Primaria. El análisis está estructurado en dos fases, una de tipo descriptivo-comparativo que nos permite descubrir los cambios o permanencias que se dan entre las variables del pretest y del postest; y otra de tipo factorial, para conocer las relaciones latentes entre ítems. Sin buscar una generalización de los resultados, el estudio muestra que el profesorado en formación inicial considera los museos como un recurso valioso para conectar los contenidos curriculares con el entorno sociocultural. También se obtienen evidencias de la desconexión entre ambas instituciones (museo y escuela), planteándose en la práctica diferentes enfoques metodológicos.
