Plurilinguismo a scuola: opportunità, risorse, vantaggi e criticità
Authors: Alemani Clara Lucia
Published: December 2024

Il contributo intende fornire un sintetico panorama di quanto negli anni è andato consolidandosi nelle nostre scuole in materia di plurilinguismo. Dopo una breve introduzione in cui vengono forniti dati aggiornati sulla presenza di alunni e alunne stranieri/e negli istituti scolastici italiani, si fa cenno a ciò che la loro presenza ha comportato per le scuole nel corso degli anni. Si passa poi a illustrare in maniera essenziale le criticità più evidenti legate alla loro presenza e relative a tutti i soggetti che agiscono nell'universo di una scuola e all'istituzione scolastica nel suo complesso. Il contributo descrive poi un progetto finalizzato all'apprendimento delle lingue e soprattutto alla promozione del plurilinguismo e realizzato in alcune scuole lombarde grazie al partenariato tra Ufficio Scolastico Regionale per la Lombardia e Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) - Università di Toronto. Il progetto, coordinato dall'ispettrice tecnica Gisella Langé e dalla professoressa Enrica Piccardo, è stato condotto interamente on line nell'anno scolastico 2020-2021 e ha coinvolto circa 120 docenti di lingue differenti e di diversi ordini di scuola. Ne vengono richiamati i presupposti teorici, lo sviluppo e infine i risultati.
Difficoltà nel vocabolario L1 e apprendimento della lingua inglese L2: un'indagine sulle emozioni legate al contesto di apprendimento alla scuola primaria
Authors: Trotta Eugenio , Cottini Milvia , Cannito Loreta , Palladino Paola
Published: December 2024

Numerose ricerche internazionali indicano un legame tra la competenza nella lingua madre e la competenza in una seconda lingua. Tuttavia, la maggior parte delle ricerche si è focalizzata su studenti adolescenti e adulti, tralasciando le prime fasi di apprendimento della seconda lingua, e ha esaminato le componenti linguistiche e cognitive senza esaminare il ruolo delle emozioni provate nel contesto di apprendimento. A tal fine, 182 studenti di seconda e terza classe primaria hanno preso parte allo studio, durante il quale sono stati misurati il livello di competenza nel vocabolario italiano (lingua madre), il livello di competenza nell'inglese (seconda lingua) e le emozioni percepite nei contesti di apprendimento dell'inglese. Considerando l'intero campione, sono state rilevate correlazioni significative, positive tra la performance in lingua italiana e l'emozione della Gioia, e negative tra la performance in lingua inglese e le emozioni di Noia e Ansia. Inoltre, in linea con le aspettative, i risultati dell'analisi di regressione hanno mostrato come età, livello di performance nella lingua madre e l'ansia predicano significativamente la performance nella seconda lingua. Considerando invece, il sotto-campione composto dai partecipanti con performance estreme nella lingua madre (< 25° e >75° percentile), è emerso che i due gruppi non differiscono per nessuna delle emozioni misurate, ma il gruppo ad Alta performance nella lingua madre riporta performance significativamente superiori in tutti i parametri relativi alla seconda lingua. L'apprendimento della lingua inglese come seconda lingua in bambini/e italiani/e di scuola primaria appare legato alla competenza raggiunta nella lingua madre, in accordo con la letteratura che ha esaminato studenti di scuola secondaria o universitari e adulti, ed è inoltre spiegato dal livello di ansia, che predice negativamente l'apprendimento. Tuttavia, il confronto tra gruppi con alta e bassa competenza in italiano evidenzia in quest'ultimi solo una caduta nella lingua inglese ma non emergono differenze nelle emozioni vissute nei contesti di apprendimento. Futuri studi sono necessari per spiegare tali differenze nel ruolo svolto dalle emozioni nella popolazione generale e negli studenti con performance estreme.
Ecological and digital transition: "Travelling" in parallel for an everlasting future more sustainable
Authors: Meseguer-Sanchez Victor , Martínez-Alcalá Isabel , De Santis Paola
Published: December 2024

The text emphasizes that achieving climate neutrality and sustainability requires the simultaneous pursuit of green and digital transitions. These transformations are essential for economic and social systems but come with significant challenges and trade-offs. Acknowledging the interconnected nature of environmental, social, and economic sustainability is crucial to achieving these goals. Efforts toward sus-tainability and digitization must prioritize inclusivity and equality. Transforming businesses through digital and green initiatives is key to post-pandemic recovery, revitalizing production, and supporting the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRP), offering a unique opportunity for sustainable development. The "double transition" (green and digital) is seen as a cornerstone for post-pandemic recovery, influencing international competitiveness and economic growth. Amid the current global energy crisis and rising costs of raw materials and energy, companies must adapt to remain competitive. Technological investments and sustainable produc-tion are crucial for the future stability of the production system in Italy, Europe, and beyond. The integration of green and digital solutions is identified as essential for creating a competitive, fair, and sustainable future.
Assessing the conservation status of diurnal Lepidoptera in the Vesuvius National Park
Authors: Goglia Lorenzo , Vittoria Chianese Flavia , Conti Paola , Di Prisco Gennaro
Published: December 2024

The conservation status of the species collected and observed in the Vesuvius Na-tional Park (VNP) and included in the Red List of Italian butterflies has not been monitored for 17 years; therefore, there is currently no knowledge of how the bio-diversity and populations of Rhopalocera have changed over these years. A list of 72 species of Lepidoptera with diurnal behaviour is reported. Five species are men-tioned for the first time for the Park. Catocala puerpera (Giorna, 1791) is men-tioned in Campania for the first time. Of particular interest are the findings of: Eu-plagia quadripunctaria (Poda, 1761), this specie is included in European Com-munity Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC); Cacyreus marshalli Butler, 1898, alien specie of South Africa origin; Glaucopsyche iolas (Ochsenheimer, 1816), that is considered "almost threatened" following IUNC Red List.
Tax system of the Republic of Kazakhstan: Shortcomings of the system and areas of its improvement
Authors: Rakhmetova Tursynkul
Published: December 2024

The relevance of this study is conditioned by the need to revise the strategy of fi-nancial support for the development of the state, especially in the context of im-proving the tax system. The purpose of this study was to examine and analyse the problematic aspects of the tax system in Kazakhstan to identify promising ways to improve it, considering international practices, specifically those of Poland and Croatia. The methods of statistical analysis, analogy, and generalisation, as well as formal legal and formal logical approaches were used in the study. The study cov-ered the features of the evolution of the legal formation of the tax system in Ka-zakhstan, as well as the problems inherent in the current stage of its functioning. It was emphasised that the formation of the institutional structure of the tax system of the state is inextricably linked with the choice of tax policy guidelines and its subsequent implementation. It was argued that a well-organised and efficient tax system is characterised by its ability to adapt to variable environmental conditions and factors. Particular attention was directed towards the comparative legal anal-ysis of the tax system of Kazakhstan with other countries – Poland and Croatia. As a result, promising ways to improve the tax system of Kazakhstan were high-lighted. The study also analysed the existing opinions and concepts of scholars on the subject. The results of this study may be valuable for the development of ef-fective methodologies for the detection of offences in this area.
Existence of gender inequality in the issue of corporate governance in the banking sector and in companies in Kazakhstan
Authors: Bekpayeva Zhuldyz , Nikiforova Nina , Zhakypbek Lyailya , Zhanbyrbayeva Sanim
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the impact of gender diversity on corporate governance in Kazakhstan's banking sector. The absence of a unified global model emphasizes the importance of national approaches. Effective governance enhances efficien-cy, reduces risks, and promotes growth, particularly when boards include diverse skills and perspectives. Based on surveys and past studies, the research highlights gender inequality in governance. Findings show that gender diversity boosts finan-cial performance, reduces fraud, increases employee and customer satisfaction, and strengthens sustainability. The study confirms that diverse boards uphold higher environmental and social standards, leading to better transparency, profita-bility, and ethical compliance.
Analisi di un processo di stigmatizzazione. Uno studio di comunità a Nuova Ostia
Authors: Meli Ilaria
Published: December 2024

Nel dibattito sulla questione urbana, una categoria analitica ormai consolidata (Mudan Marelli, 2020) è quella della stigmatizzazione territoriale (Wacquant, 2008). La presente analisi approfondisce mediante uno studio di comunità il caso del quartiere di Nuova Ostia (Roma). Caratterizzato dagli elementi – infrastruttu-rali, urbanistici e socioeconomici – che secondo gli studi sono tradizionalmente alla base della creazione di stigma (Schultz Larsen, Delica, 2019), al tempo stesso rap-presenta un esempio interessante. L'esito di processi combinati di blaming, legati alla presenza criminale, segregazione spaziale, esclusione sociale, approcci istitu-zionali securitari hanno prodotto effetti molto concreti sulla comunità.
Produzione, adattamento e resistenza allo stigma territoriale nel quartiere romano Quarticciolo
Authors: Galantino Maria Grazia , Messineo Francesca
Published: December 2024

L'articolo analizza le pratiche discorsive di stigmatizzazione territoriale nella copertura mediatica di due eventi di cronaca avvenuti nel quartiere romano Quarticciolo. Nel discorso mediatico, lo stigma è costruito attraverso la naturalizzazione e la normalizzazione della violenza che diventa così qualità intrinseca della quotidianità nel quartiere. Al tempo stesso, le narrazioni giornalistiche rivelano articolate strategie di adattamento e resistenza allo stigma da parte degli abitanti.

Interação reforçamento/punição em esquemas LAG-n: Efeitos sobre a variabilidade comportamental
Authors:   Universidade de São Paulo, Santos Glauce Carolina Vieira , Hunziker Maria Helena Leite ,   Universidade de São Paulo
Published: December 2024

O objetivo deste trabalho foi examinar aquisição e manutenção da variabilidade reforçada positivamente, tendo como adição apresentação de choque contingente ao padrão não variável. Na primeira fase, ratos (n=16) passaram por reforçamento diferencial da variabilidade, tendo o reforço (água) contingente à emis-são de sequências de quatro respostas a duas barras: o reforço era liberado para sequência que diferisse das quatro anteriormente emitidas. Para metade dos sujeitos, sequências que não atingissem o critério para refor-çamento eram seguidas de extinção (L) e para os demais por um choque elétrico breve e pouco intenso (L+). Na Fase 2, os animais previamente expostos à condição L foram subdivididos em dois grupos (n=4), sendo um exposto ao procedimento L+ e outro ao procedimento de acoplamento (A+). Na Fase 3, esses animais foram expostos ao L. Conforme resultados, a variabilidade foi adquirida e mantida na condição L. O cho-que como consequência para sequências “erradas” dificultou levemente a aquisição da variabilidade, mas interferiu pouco na sua manutenção. Os choques acoplados reduziram a taxa de respostas e a variabilidade comportamental. Nessas condições, a variabilidade operante pôde ser instalada e mantida sob contingência diferencial envolvendo punição e reforçamento positivo. Novas pesquisas são necessárias para verificar a generalidade desses resultados.

Authors:   Universidade Federal de São Carlos, Dias Talita Pereira ,   Centro Universitário de Votuporanga, Del Prette Zilda A. Pereira ,   Universidade Federal de São Carlos
Published: December 2024

A automonitoria constitui a base da competência social e, por isso, tem possível efeito concorrente sobre problemas de comportamento na infância. Uma vez que a literatura apresenta uma escassez de publicações sobre intervenções e estratégias para promover a automonitoria, este estudo analisou os efeitos de uma inter-venção de 12 sessões individuais, junto a pré-escolares, que combinou, em cada sessão, dois procedimentos: (1) treino em análise das contingências, com base em interações sociais ilustradas por desenhos (RIAM-I) e com discussão da adequação das alternativas de resposta passiva, agressiva e habilidosa; (2) exposição a contingências em situações estruturadas de desempenho, com demanda para a habilidade previamente dis-cutida. Participaram 17 crianças, sendo nove do grupo de intervenção (GI) e oito do grupo de comparação (GC). Foram efetuadas avaliações antes e após a intervenção, como também avaliações de seguimento (fo-llow-up) para os indicadores de automonitoria (RIAM-A), habilidades sociais e comportamentos-problema (PKBS-BR, respondido por mães e professoras) e competência social (desempenho em situações estrutura-das). A intervenção produziu melhoras no GI (pré para pós-teste, mantidas no seguimento), em automonito-ria, habilidades sociais e competência social, mas não alterou comportamentos-problema. São discutidas as implicações para avaliação e intervenção em habilidades sociais.
Estímulos reforçadores automáticos, naturais e arbitrários: uma proposta de sistematização
Authors:   Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo, Dorigon Lygia T. , Andery Maria Amalia Pie Abib ,   Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo
Published: December 2024

A classificação dos reforçadores baseada nas condições de produção das consequências é pouco consensual na análise do comportamento. A fim de analisar e sistematizar a posição de alguns autores que discutiram o tema selecionou-se um conjunto de trechos contendo palavras-chaves, classificados de acordo com seu conteúdo. Como resultado, sugere-se uma definição dos reforçadores que considere separadamente a tríplice contingência e a relação resposta-reforçador (contingência de dois termos). As contingências tríplices foram classificadas como: (a) naturais, que independem de arranjo ou mediação externa e (b) construídas, cu-jas condições evocativas e/ou selecionadoras são planejadas. A relação resposta-reforçador foi classificada como aquela que envolve: reforçador automático, estímulo que se relaciona mecanicamente com a resposta, participando de tríplices contingências naturais e/ou construídas; reforçador natural, que segue regularmente o responder, pode ou não ser intermediado e participa de contingências tríplicesnaturais e/ou construídas; e reforçador construído, estímulo que segue o responder quando intermediados pelo planejador da contingên-cia e participa apenas de tríplices contingências construídas.

Published: December 2024

Tax is a very important component of state revenue. because 82.42% of total state revenue comes from taxes. One type of obstacle that hinders tax collection that causes state revenue to decrease is tax avoidance. This research aims to examine the influence of capital intensity and accounting conservatism on tax avoidance. Tax avoidance is measured using the Cash Effective Tax Rate (CETR). The approach used in this research is a quantitative method using secondary data obtained from financial reports published on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) website and company websites. The population in this study were Food and Beverages Sub-Sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2018-2023 period. The sample used in this study included 15 companies obtained by purposive sampling method and SPSS software version 23 was used to analyze the data with a multiple linear regression analysis approach. The findings show that capital intensity has a significant negative effect on Tax Avoidance and accounting conservatism has a significant positive effect on tax avoidance. Large fixed asset storage is carried out by a company not solely to avoid taxes but rather it is done by the company with the aim of running the company's operations. The principle of conservatism applied in accelerating the recognition of costs or losses and delaying the recognition of income has an impact on reducing the profit used as the basis for calculating the company's tax obligations.

Cryptic ontogenetic changes in the ventral coloration of a colour polymorphic wall lizard (Podarcis muralis)
Authors: Abalos Javier , Bartolomé Alicia , Pérez i de Lanuza Guillem , Aubret Fabien , Font Enrique
Published: December 2024

During growth, many animals undergo irreversible colour changes. Despite their ecological and ethological relevance, ontogenetic colour changes (OCCs) are often overlooked. The problem is compounded when OCCs involve wavelengths invisible to humans. Wall lizards can perceive ultraviolet (UV) light, and their conspicuous ventral and ventrolateral coloration —including UV-reflecting patches— likely serves social communication. To human vision, adults of the European common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis) may show throats and bellies with uniform orange, white, and/or yellow coloration, or two mosaic colorations. In addition, adult males (and some females) present a row of ventrolateral UV-blue patches in their outer ventral scales (OVS). Here we set out to describe OCCs in the ventral (throat and belly) and ventrolateral (OVS) coloration of juvenile Podarcis muralis lizards as perceived by conspecifics. We measured reflectance in newborn and yearling lizards raised under semi-natural conditions and used visual modelling to estimate chromatic distances within individuals and across life stages (i.e. newborns, yearlings, and adults). Newborns typically exhibit UV-enhanced white (UV+ white) on their ventral surfaces (throat, belly, and OVS), a colour that is likely perceived by conspecifics as distinct from the most frequent adult colours (i.e. orange, yellow, and UV-reduced white; UV- white). This distinction, invisible to humans, highlights two types of white coloration differing in UV reflectance. The prevalence of UV+ white decreases with age, with the decline being less pronounced in female bellies. OCCs related to the UV-blue patches seem to be delayed with respect to changes in the throat and belly. Throat colours in yearling lizards are indistinguishable to conspecifics from the equivalent colours in adult throats. In contrast, chromatic distances between the UV-blue patches of adults and yearlings are large enough for discrimination by conspecifics. We discuss a possible function of P. muralis OCCs in delaying the onset of adult colours involved in social signalling.
Finding Meaning in Meaninglessness: Comparative Reflections on Rumi and Kafka’s Literary Thoughts
Authors: Zubaida Nusrat  , Adibah Binti Abdul Rahim
Published: December 2024

This paper examines the metaphysical concept of ‘finding meaning in meaninglessness’ as reflected in the selected works of Jalal Ad-Din Muhammad Rumi, a thirteenth-century Persian poet, and Franz Kafka, a modernist Jewish author of the 20th century from Prague. The analysis compares their insights on hope and despair, showing how two literary figures from different eras and religio-cultural traditions address the challenge of finding significance in a meaningless reality. During moments of existential uncertainty, Rumi focuses on the importance of moving beyond the ego to achieve unity with the divine to find true purpose in life; whereas Kafka’s absurdist narratives reveal the profound alienation and anxiety of living, emphasizing the challenge of searching meaning in a complex and indifferent situation. Rumi's approach is grounded in Islamic mysticism and spiritual enlightenment, while Kafka's perspective is marked by Judaic esotericism, existential dread, and the absurdity of existence. Although Rumi’s spiritual optimism and Kafka’s bleak view of existence highlight their differences, both are essential for understanding the broader human condition or experiences of seeking meaning in life, particularly in the context of spiritual and existential crises arising from modernity.
A Weaponized Information Landscape during an Unprecedented Public Education Crisis in Morocco
Authors: Zakaria Laroussi  , Anass Laalou
Published: December 2024

The introduction of the new statute for education in Morocco in September 2023, officially known as decree law No. 2.23.819, unleashed a mixed feeling of utter dismay and indignation amongst the teaching community throughout the country. October 5, 2023 marked the beginning of massive teachers’ strikes that swept the country into January 2024. This article explores the involvement of teachers, syndicates and the government in the dissemination of various types of information disorder to influence the power dynamics to their advantage. Based on responses from a survey completed by teachers and a focus group discussion with 7 members of coordination committees, we present a clear perspective about the various forms of information disorder that were disseminated in social media during teachers’ strike. Our conclusion is that candid, transparent, and regular dialogues can boost trust between the three stakeholders and improve the information landscape in the country.
Létfenntartó (LSS) rendszerek az akvarisztikában

Published: December 2024

Jelen kéziratban az akvarisztikában jelentős szerepet játszó létfenntartó (LSS) rendszerek kerülnek részletes vizsgálat alá; bemutatom a rendszerben szerepet játszó gépészeti egységeket, a technológiai sor felépítését, valamint a kutatás során végzett mérések eredményeit és azok kiértékelését. Ilyen rendszerek kialakítására nem csak a szórakoztatás céljából létesített tengervizes medencék esetében van szükség, hanem jelentős szerepet töltenek be a sérült, valamint védett fajok mesterséges körülmények között történő gondozásakor. A vízi élőlények mesterséges körülmények között történő tartása igen kényes területnek számít. Axiómaként jelenthető ki, hogy természetes közegben az élőlények rendelkezésére áll minden olyan környezeti adottság – mind kémiai, mind biológiai, mind fizikai tekintetben –, melyre szükségük van az elemi életfunkciók fenntartásához, illetve a reprodukcióhoz. A mesterséges állattartás esetén ezeket a természeti adottságokat sok esetben csak korlátozottan lehet biztosítani számukra. Ezzel az a legnagyobb probléma, hogy az állatok jólléte onnantól kezdve, hogy bekerülnek egy ilyen rendszerbe, az emberi döntésektől függ. Az ily módon létrejövő függés hatalmas felelősséget jelent a gondozók számára.
The Effect of the Nitrogen Fertilisation on the Sap-sucking Herbivorous Insects (Insecta, Hemiptera) and on the Host Plant Tolerance
Authors: Gidó Zsolt , Lehoczky Éva
Published: December 2024

In this article the available information on the effects of host plant’s nitrogen fertilisation on the preference/performance of the sap-sucking insects (Hemiptera) and on host plants tolerance is reviewed. There is a very strong general tendency that nitrogen fertilisation increases the preference/performance of the sap sucking insects. Important exceptions are known, when the excessive nitrogen fertilisation decreases the preference/performance of the hemipteran herbivores. Host plant tolerance usually improves with nitrogen fertilisation: exceptions are known when the herbivore is very efficient in exploiting the host plants nitrogen content. Relationship is affected by the host plants and herbivore’s genotype and by the type and the mode of application of the fertiliser. Direct underlining causes are complex and still not entirely known. Nitrogen fertilisation can affect the herbivore through changing the concentrations and ratios of the available nutrients in the plants and/or changing the concentrations of the host plant’s defensive chemicals.
The Music in the Finspong Collection
Authors:   Department of Musicology, Uppsala University, Schildt Maria
Published: December 2024

The Finspong collection (Finspongssamlingen), kept in the Norrköping City Library, constitutes one of the largest historical book col lections in Sweden, comprising about 35,000 volumes. It includes a considerable amount of music: about ninety printed publications and thirty music manuscripts, almost all collections of multiple pieces, dating from 1600 to the late nineteenth century. Many of the pieces included in the manuscript volumes are known to have survived only there and more than a fifth of the printed publications are seemingly unica. The manuscripts and printed publications, as well as the repertoire included in them, have varied origins, such as France, the Southern Netherlands, the Dutch Republic, northern German-speaking regions and Scandinavia. This international character of the collection can provide a point of departure for studies addressing issues related to, for example, music transfer and different ways of adaptation of the music to a local context. In addition, the music in the Finspong collection constitutes a rare example of a music collection accumulated by the same aristocratic family over a period of almost three centuries, reflecting shifting tastes and preferences over time. Although the Finspong collection contains one of the more comprehensive historical music collections surviving in Sweden, it has been without a modern catalogue. This can be compared to contemporary Swedish music collections, such as the Gimo collection, the Leufstabruk collection, or the Düben collection, all of which have modern catalogues.

The aim of this publication is thus to present a modern and detailed catalogue with a focus on the material – the printed and handwritten sources, as well as the musical repertoire they include in order to facilitate further studies of this music material. The book also deals with issues related to ownership of the musical items and provides an attempt to produce a chronological reconstruction of the accumulation of the music in the collection. The introduction covers first the history of the family De Geer in Sweden at Finspång and the history of its library. Second, a chronological outline of the acquisition of the music is presented. A third part examines the musical items divided in two groups: printed publications and music manuscripts. The final part of the introduction discusses the music repertoire, focusing on issues such as geographical origin and the different repertoires of secular and sacred music.
The Effects of Emotions on Stated Preferences for Environmental Change: a re-examination

A large literature in behavioral science suggests that people’s emotional condition can
have an impact on their choices. We consider how people’s emotions affect their stated
preferences and willingness to pay for changes in environmental quality, focusing on the effects
of incidental emotions. We use videos to induce emotional states and test the replicability of the
results reported in Hanley et al. (2017). Additionally, we employ Face Reader software to verify
whether the intended emotional states were successfully induced in our experimental treatments.
We find that our treatments succeed in implementing the predicted emotional condition in terms
of self-reported emotions, but had a variable effect on measured (estimated) emotional states. We
replicate the key result from Hanley et al. (2017): induced emotional state has no significant effect
on stated preference estimates or on willingness to pay for environmental quality changes.
Moreover, we confirm that, irrespective of the treatment assignment or emotional state - be it self
reported or measured - we observe no significant effect of emotion on stated preferences. We
conclude that stated preference estimates for environmental change are unaffected by changes in
incidental emotions, and that preference estimates are robust to the emotional state of the
responder.
The Impact of Mobile Phones on Change in Employment Status in South Africa
Authors:   University of Cape Town, School of Economics, University of Warsaw, Faculty of Economic Scinces, Grzybowski Lukasz , Patel Zubair ,   University of Cape Town, School of Economics
Published: December 2024

In this paper we analyse whether having a mobile phone impacts chances of getting
employed. We use five waves of panel data from the National Income Dynamic Survey
(NIDS), which was conducted in South Africa between years 2008 and 2017. In the es
timation we include a vector of observable individual and household characteristics and
account for unobserved heterogeneity amongst individuals. The estimation results sug
gest that mobile phone ownership has a positive impact on the change in employment
status from unemployed to employed. On the other hand, ownership of a computer by
a household and computer literacy do not increase the likelihood of getting employed.
The average probability of becoming employed increases from 54.2% when no one among
unemployed adults has a mobile phone to 57.4% when all of them have a mobile phone,
which is an increase of 5.9%.
"Obesity: The Emerging Epidemic in Nepal”
Authors:   Kathmandu University, Nobel Medical College, Biratnagar, Nepal, Agrawal Roshan
Published: December 2024

Nepal is witnessing a significant rise in obesity as traditional agrarian lifestyles give way to urbanization and sedentary
behaviours. The dissolution of agriculture as a cultural practice has led to a reduction in daily physical activity, contributing to
an alarming increase in non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension. This
article explores how Nepal can adopt new health-oriented cultural practices to combat obesity, drawing inspiration from the
gym culture in the United States and the cycling culture in Europe. It advocates for the promotion of physical activity through
community-based fitness programs, active transportation, and integrating exercise into educational curriculums. Additionally, it
emphasizes the importance of reviving traditional dietary practices and supporting mental well-being. The article underscores
the need for government support in implementing policies and infrastructure that foster a culture of health, ensuring a healthier
future for Nepal's population
Photons do not Exist, Light does not Move, it is Transmitted by Electromagnetic Resonance

Published: December 2024

A new theory about light is presented, according to which it does not move in space, like particles or self-sustaining waves. It
is transmitted as a resonance phenomenon between two tuned electromagnetic oscillators. This is demonstrated by using the
helical model of the electron to calculate the frequency of the first quantum transition of the Lymann series of the emission
spectrum of the hydrogen atom.

Authors: Hossain Md Delwar , Mahbubul Mohammad , Debnath Shuvra , Apu Auvijit Saha
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this study is to look at the seminal characteristics of short-term stored spermatozoa (at 4°C) from indigenous Aseel chickens in Bangladesh. The abdominal massage technique was utilized to collect semen from adult Aseel chickens at 3-day intervals and microscopically analyze the semen quality. The semen was then diluted with egg yolk-citrate (EYC) extender and stored at 4°C. They were then evaluated at various storage times, including Day 0 (0 hours), Day 1 (24 hours), Day 2 (48 hours), Day 3 (72 hours), Day 4 (96 hours), and Day 5 (120 hours). The findings of the study revealed that as storage time progressed, sperm motility, live spermatozoa, and the percentage of normal spermatozoa decreased. Total motility percentage significantly (P<0.05) decreased with the extended storage time in case of all individual cock. Progressive motility percentage was significantly (P<0.05) decreased from Day 0 (57.4±3.21) to Day 5 (0.11±3.21). On the contrary, non-motile sperm percentage significantly increased in Day 5 (99.3±4.85) compared to Day 1 (21.9±4.85). On the other hand, live spermatozoa were significantly (P<0.05) higher (76.68±5.06%) on Day 0 (0 h) and gradually declined day after day and finally it was 0% on day 5 (120 h). Similarly, spermatozoa abnormalities were highest at Day 5 (11.29±1.69% head, 3.33±1.42% mid-piece and 7.26±1.66% tail) and head abnormalities were significantly (P<0.05) affected by the storage time. Therefore, this study concluded that the storage duration had a substantial impact on the quality of Aseel chicken sperm, which may be used for artificial insemination (AI). The outcomes of this study may be valuable for the conservation and enhancement of the indigenous Aseel chicken breed in Bangladesh through the use of AI.

Os fatores no cenário da sociedade contemporânea se conectam no contexto de uma sociedade informacional, que altera a forma e a velocidade com que a mudança impacta os indivíduos. Nesse contexto frenético, está o Direito Penal, que tenta acompanhar as novas práticas delitivas que surgem com essa transformação, afetando inclusive as evidências deixadas nas cenas de crime, que demandam uma abordagem diferenciada em relação à cadeia de custódia. Diante desse cenário, percebe-se a necessidade de unir a tecnologia e o Direito para lidar de forma efetiva com a velocidade das transformações que ocorrem. O artigo tem como objetivo conceituar a prova digital, incorporá-la à cadeia de custódia e fazer a aplicação dos conceitos desenvolvidos na tecnologia Blockchain com a finalidade de responder à seguinte pergunta: a cadeia de custódia da prova digital pode ser realizada por meio da implementação da tecnologia Blockchain? Como hipótese, se estabeleceu que a tecnologia Blockchain se mostra como uma alternativa viável para a cadeia de custódia das provas digitais. Para alcançar seus resultados, adotou-se metodologia hipotético-dedutiva com revisão e levantamento bibliográfico. Os resultados demonstraram que as características da tecnologia Blockchain oferecem uma ferramenta viável para realizar o procedimento da cadeia de custódia de forma transparente..

ABSTRACT
The factors in the contemporary societal landscape connect within the context of an informational society, which alters how change impacts individuals in terms of both form and speed. Within this frenetic context lies Criminal Law, which seeks to keep pace with emerging criminal practices brought about by this transformation, affecting even the evidence left at crime scenes, necessitating a specialized approach to chain of custody. Considering this scenario, the need to merge technology and law to effectively manage the speed of these transformations becomes apparent. The article aims to conceptualize digital evidence, integrate it into chain of custody, and apply Blockchain technology to answer the question: can the chain of custody of digital evidence be achieved through the implementation of Blockchain technology? The hypothesis established is that Blockchain technology proves to be a viable alternative for the custody of digital evidence. To achieve its results, a hypothetico-deductive methodology was adopted, including literature review and data collection. The results demonstrated that the characteristics of Blockchain technology offer a viable tool for conducting chain of custody procedures transparently.
