Les héroïnes antiques dans le Livre de la Cité des dames de Christine de Pizan : réécriture et redéfinition de l’héroïsme au féminin
Authors: Le Ninan Claire , Paupert Anne
Published: December 2023

Dans le Livre de la Cité des dames, Christine de Pizan inclut de nombreux récits mettant en scène des figures de femmes antiques qu’elle utilise comme des exemples en vue de combattre les préjugés misogynes. En puisant à différentes sources, comme l’Histoire ancienne jusqu’à César, Des cleres et nobles femmes de Boccace et l’Histoire romaine de Tite-Live, Christine réécrit ces récits pour valoriser les personnages féminins : elle en fait des héroïnes, guerrières et femmes de pouvoir, femmes admirables pour leurs vertus morales et pour leur sagesse politique.
Représenter Hélène à la Renaissance : de l’exemplum mythologique à l’eikon artistique
Authors: Evrard Clarisse
Published: December 2023

Cet article se propose de revenir sur le mythe d’Hélène aux xve et xvie siècles en analysant, à travers quelques exemples, ses modalités de représentation. L’approche choisie, croisant histoire de l’art et littérature, permet d’en souligner les fonctions narratives, symboliques et artistiques et d’en éclairer les enjeux. Il s’agit in fine d’envisager la re-sémantisation de l’héroïne, qui, si elle reste un exemplum du répertoire mythologique, se mue progressivement en objet d’art autonome.
L’usage politique des figures féminines païennes dans la Florence médicéenne : l’exemple de la mascarade de la Généalogie des Dieux (1565)
Authors: Zerbib Sonia
Published: December 2023

En exploitant de nombreuses figures féminines païennes, la mascarade de la Généalogie des Dieux de 1565, en l’honneur des noces de Francesco de Medici et de Jeanne d’Autriche, marque les rues florentines de son empreinte mythologique et allégorique, source de pouvoir avérée. C’est par une double appropriation au présent du passé festif de la cité florentine et du monde antique féminin par les érudits au service du pouvoir qu’une légitimité dynastique par la continuité se construit et s’impose.
The Eternal Youth Fallacy in the Face of a Pandemic: Senior Spending Patterns and the Silver Economy in the United States
Authors: Hudec Oto , Káčerová Marcela , Ondoš Slavomír
Published: December 2023

Population ageing in the United States has resulted in a substantial increase in retiree households. Understanding consumer behaviour among older individuals is crucial for assessing their well-being and living conditions. This study emphasises the importance of recognising the unique needs and preferences of older consumers, as their consumption patterns have a significant influence on household expenditures. While the stereotype of frugal retirees has evolved and active seniors are now portrayed as high spenders, the Covid-19 pandemic highlighted seniors' practical and realistic approach to their spending and challenged the popular notion of a lifestyle of forever-young seniors. Seniors still prioritise essential goods and services. During the pandemic, health-related expenditures increased, and they adapted their leisure activities to home-based alternatives. Our study investigates whether pre-retirees and retirees have shifted from prioritising retirement savings to focusing on essential needs like healthcare and housing, or whether they are allocating resources for experiences and travel to enhance their quality of life before and after retirement. Seniors exhibit distinct consumption patterns, with higher expenditures on health, personal care, and leisure activities than younger age groups. Consequently, businesses and policymakers need to develop strategies that account for the diverse consumption patterns of seniors, rather than assuming they will adopt the preferences of younger generations. The silver economy represents a dynamic and expanding market, particularly in the health and social care sector, offering substantial opportunities for investment.

Objetivo: Detalhar a fisiopatologia da toxoplasmose ocular, bem como as formas de diagnóstico e tratamento da doença. O problema de pesquisa central analisa que  a toxoplasmose ocular é distribuída mundialmente, sendo considerada uma doença oportunista e silenciosa. A justificativa para este estudo reside  explorar   nos sintomas que podem se apresentar de formas  silenciadas, e suas complicações associadas. Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica sobre a toxoplasmose ocular com base nos bancos de dados de periódicos online Scielo, PubMed e Google Acadêmico, entre os anos de 2013 a 2023. Os resultados apontam que no homem, o protozoário inicialmente dissemina-se na forma bradizoita e posteriormente, taquizoita. O parasito tem tropismo de desenvolvimento no sistema nervoso e músculo, causando febre, cefaleia, convulsão e morte em imunossuprimidos. Em imunocompetentes, ele é contido na forma de cistos de bradizoitos, mas pode apresentar-se na forma ocular. Destaca-se que a toxoplasmose ocular geralmente não manifesta sintomas na sua primeira vez infecção. Conclui-se que não há tratamento específico para a doença ocular, sendo necessário realizar avaliação oftamológica e exames complementares de imagem e sorológico para acompanhamento do quadro.

Ngala Ulam Tradition from a Socio-Religious Perspective: Study in Kampung Genten, Pasirhuni Hamlet, Laksana Village, Ibun District, Bandung Regency
Authors: Saepuloh Aep , Widarda Dodo
Published: December 2023

The article explores the Ngala Ulam tradition, a unique cultural practice deeply rooted in socio-religious contexts. The study focuses on the Kampung Genteng, specifically in the Pasirhuni Hamlet, Laksana Village, Ibun District, Bandung Regency. This socio-religious perspective aims to unravel the intricate layers of meaning embedded in the Ngala Ulam tradition. The research employs qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. By delving into the socio-religious aspects, the study unveils the significance of Ngala Ulam beyond its surface practices. It investigates how the tradition interweaves with local beliefs, community bonds, and spiritual elements. The tradition of treating toothaches with the Ngala Ulam method is a result of acculturation between the local community's beliefs and Islam. This is because before Islam entered Kampung Genteng Dusun Pasirhuni, the community had adhered to a hereditary belief in the methods of treating diseases. The presence of Islam did not clash with the local culture; instead, a fusion occurred, with Islam influencing it. This acculturation can be observed in the medium used in the Ngala Ulam practice, namely the use of cangkarud mulud beads produced from the muludan tradition. Additionally, acculturation is evident in the Ngala Ulam practice, incorporating Islamic chants and prayers. The Ngala Ulam tradition illustrates that community knowledge is a social product. The knowledge and beliefs in the Ngala Ulam ritual are products of the Kampung Genteng community. Although modern medical equipment and systems are known to the community, the people's beliefs in traditional, non-rational treatments remain strong. The continued high trust in the Ngala Ulam treatment is reinforced by factors such as the distance and cost associated with accessing modern healthcare facilities like Puskesmas.
“A Compliment is all I need” – Teachers Telling Principals How to Promote Their Staff's Self-Efficacy
Authors: Kass Efrat
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the present study is to compare the perceptions of teachers representing opposite ends of the self-efficacy spectrum regarding the effects of the principal’s behavior on their professional self-efficacy. In the first quantitative stage, a statistical procedure was conducted to identify the two groups of teachers: a group of 16 teachers with a high self-efficacy and a group of 14 teachers with a low self-efficacy. In the second and main stage, the qualitative stage, the teachers were asked about their professional successes and failures, using in-depth, open-ended interviews. Data were analyzed using grounded theory. Five categories of management style were found pertinent to both groups: modes of communication, feedback from the principal, social atmosphere, strength of the principal, and shared values. Differences found between the two participant groups regarding each management style category are discussed. Findings also indicate that the human aspect of teacher-principal relations is the decisive factor determining those teachers’ sense of professional self-efficacy. L’objectif de la présente étude est de comparer des perceptions d’enseignants quant à l’effet du comportement du directeur d’école sur leur auto-efficacité professionnelle. Les perceptions recueillies représentent les extrémités opposées du spectre. Pendant la première étape quantitative, on a identifié les deux groupes d’enseignants par une procédure statistique : un groupe de 16 enseignants jouissant d’une grande auto-efficacité et un groupe de 14 enseignants avec un faible degré d’auto-efficacité. Pendant l’étape principale, la deuxième et qualitative cette fois, nous avons interrogé les enseignants sur leurs réussites et leurs échecs professionnels par le biais d’entrevues approfondies à questions ouvertes. Les données ont été analysées conformément à la théorie reposant sur les faits. Les résultats ont révélé cinq catégories de style de gestion, applicables aux deux groupes : modes de communication, rétroaction du directeur, ambiance sociale, autorité du directeur et valeurs partagées. Nous discutons des écarts entre les deux groupes par rapport aux styles de gestion. Les conclusions ont également indiqué que l’aspect humain du rapport enseignant-directeur est le facteur déterminant dans le sentiment d’auto-efficacité professionnelle chez les enseignants.

Phân loại rừng là sắp xếp thảm thực vật rừng trong một vùng địa lý nhất định thành các kiểu rừng khác nhau. Phân loại trạng thái rừng là sắp xếp mỗi kiểu rừng thành các nhóm dựa theo những tiêu chí nhất định. Trong nghiên cứu này, các kiểu trạng thái rừng đã được phân loại theo dạng sống của thực vật, độ che phủ của cây thân thảo và cây bụi, độ tàn che của tán rừng, nguồn gốc rừng, thành phần loài cây gỗ ưu thế của quần thụ, sản lượng gỗ của quần thụ, hướng diễn thế của rừng, thời gian phục hồi rừng, mật độ và chất lượng cây tái sinh của những loài cây gỗ phù hợp với mục đích sử dụng. Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy đất không có rừng và rừng gỗ tự nhiên ở mức địa phương được phân loại thành 4 kiểu trạng thái. Kiểu trạng thái I là đất trống. Kiểu trạng thái II là rừng thứ sinh. Kiểu trạng thái III là rừng nguyên sinh bị suy thoái. Kiểu trạng thái IV là rừng nguyên sinh. Kiểu trạng thái I đã được phân loại nhỏ thành đất bị thoái hóa và đất được cỏ và cây bụi che phủ ở mức độ khác nhau. Kiểu rừng thứ sinh đã được phân loại nhỏ theo những nguyên nhân hình thành. Rừng gỗ nguyên sinh bị suy thoái được phân loại thành hai nhóm: (1) Rừng nguyên sinh được quản lý; (2) Rừng nguyên sinh không được quản lý. Hai nhóm rừng nguyên sinh bị suy thoái này được phân loại nhỏ thành 3 kiểu phụ: (1) Rừng nguyên sinh bị suy thoái ở mức độ cao; (2) Rừng nguyên sinh bị suy thoái ở mức độ trung bình; (3) Rừng nguyên sinh bị suy thoái ở mức độ thấp.
La novela gráfica literaria: una aproximación didáctica a Rulfo a través del aprendizaje mediante diseño
Authors: Reyes-Torres Agustín , Chávez Landeros Daniel
Published: December 2023

La enseñanza de español como segunda lengua representa una disciplina educativa que permite implicar a los estudiantes en un proceso de aprendizaje a nivel cognitivo y sociocultural que va más allá de la visión tradicional de la adquisición del lenguaje. En este sentido, la novela gráfica es un recurso con diferentes modos de expresión que pueden tratarse para explorar temas literarios y guiar a los estudiantes a desarrollar sus multiliteracidades. Con este enfoque transdisciplinar, es posible aproximarse a la obra Rulfo, una vida gráfica (2017) de Óscar Pantoja y Felipe Camargo e identificar tres discursos concurrentes a lo largo de las imágenes y el texto: historiográfico, que explica el contexto en el que surgen las obras de Juan Rulfo; biográfico, en el que se representan las etapas en la vida del autor; y literario, que representa pasajes de El llano en llamas (1953) y Pedro Páramo (1955).

Published: December 2023

We have studied MHC class II antigen expression and lymphocytic infiltration during dopaminergic neurone degeneration produced by intoxication with l-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropiridine (MPTP). Microglial activation was observed in the striatum and in the substantia nigra (SN) in this model. We noticed a marked increase of MHC class II antigen expression on microglia and T-cell recruitment in these regions after MPTP treatment. B-lymphocytes were not observed. T-cell infiltration predominantly consisted of CD8+ cells at every time point but CD4+ cells were present too. More than a half of the observed lymphocytes showed strong staining of CD44 antigen. Our findings suggest a possible immune system involvement in the pathological process following MPTP intoxication.
Interleukin-1beta affects the macrophage recruitment and proliferation in the injured brain of 6-day-old rat
Authors: Pawliński Rafał , Setkowicz Zuzanna , Małodzińska Katarzyna , Janeczko Krzysztof
Published: December 2023

Six-day-old male rats received a mechanical lesion in the left cerebral hemisphere. Thereafter, a single dose of either 5, 50 or 500 units (U) of recombinant rat interleukin-l beta (IL-1beta) was injected into the lesion cavity. One or 2 days after the injury, the rats were injected with 3H-thymidine. Brain sections were subjected to BSI-B4 lectin histochemistry and autoradiography to visualise proliferating and non-proliferating macrophages located within the region of injury. A mitogenic effect of IL-1beta on macrophages was observed on day 2 in brains injected with the lowest 5 U dose of cytokine. Following administration of higher 50 U and 500 U doses, infiltration of the injured tissue by macrophages was significantly intensified on day I. However, on day 2, dose-dependent reductions of the total number of macrophages as well as their proliferative activity were recorded. The findings suggest that the higher the initial quantity of macrophages, the sooner they disappeared from the injury site. It may therefore be hypothesised that IL-1beta-induced increase in macrophage recruitment at the beginning of the inflammatory response speeded the removal of tissue debris and, therefore, accelerated healing of the injured nervous tissue.
Influence of bombesin on thresholds for feeding and reward in the rat
Authors: Bushnik Tamara , Bielajew Catherine , Konkle Anne , Merali Zul
Published: December 2023

Bombesin's purported role in satiety mechanisms prompted this investigation of its effects on thresholds for stimulation-induced feeding and self-stimulation in the rat. Single electrodes were implanted in the lateral hypothalamus and the ability of each electrode to support self-stimulation and stimulation-induced feeding was evaluated at four current levels between 80 and 320 microA. The frequency thresholds associated with each current value were assessed following four intraperitoneal doses of bombesin, 2, 4, 8, and 16 micrograms/kg, as well as a saline dose. Bombesin increased the thresholds for stimulation-induced feeding at doses known to reduce food intake without influencing self-stimulation thresholds. From these findings we conclude that (1) the effects of peripheral bombesin on stimulation-induced feeding are analogous to its effects on normal feeding and (2) the data provide additional evidence for a pharmacological dissociation between stimulation-induced feeding and reward.
Effect of acute hepatic encephalopathy on 3H-dopamine release from rat cerebral cortex and striatum in vitro: role of Ca2+
Authors: Borkowska Hanna , Oja Simo , Hilgier Wojciech , Saransaari Pirjo , Albrecht Jan
Published: December 2023

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is characterized by motor symptoms associated with disturbed functions of the dopaminergic systems, but the underlying mechanisms are not clear. A previous study from our laboratories revealed that HE, induced in rats by repeated treatment with thioacetamide, enhanced the 50 mM potassium (KCI)-stimulated release of newly loaded 3H-dopamine in both striatal and frontal cerebral cortical slices in the presence of Ca2+. In the present study we compared the effects of HE on dopamine release in striatal and frontal cerebral cortical slices and synaptosomes in the presence and absence of Ca2+. HE enhanced the KCl-stimulated 3H-dopamine release from striatal and frontal cortical synaptosomes in the presence of Ca2+ to the same extent as in slices prepared from the respective brain regions. In the absence of Ca2+ a slight reduction in dopamine release was observed in frontal cortical synaptosomes from HE rats when compared to control rats, while no effect of HE on the release was discernible in frontal cortical and striatal slices and striatal synaptosomes. We conclude that in both brain regions studied HE stimulates dopamine exocytosis triggered by Ca2+ influx without affecting the release mediated by means of plasma membrane transporters or exocytosis involving intraterminal Ca2+.
Hyposensitivity to amphetamine following exposure to chlorphenvinphos - protection by amphetamine preexposure
Authors: Gralewicz Sławomir , Lutz Piotr , Szymczak Wiesław
Published: December 2023

We investigated the effect of an acute exposure to chlorphenvinphos (CVP), an organophosphate anticholinesterase, on amphetamine-induced open-field locomotion in rats. CVP was administered in a single i.p. dose of 1.0 mg/kg (1/10 of the LD50). All animals were challenged with 1.0 mg/kg amphetamine (AMPH) three weeks after the CVP exposure, i.e. after a time sufficient for acetylcholinesterase recovery. Some rats were also given AMPH three weeks before the CVP exposure. In rats challenged with AMPH only once after the CVP exposure, AMPH- induced open-field locomotion was significantly reduced. Such an effect was not observed in rats given AMPH three weeks before the CVP exposure. The results suggest that a single CVP exposure may result in persistent dopaminergic hyposensitivity, and that an amphetamine pretreatment may protect the rat against this effect.
Involvement of single unit activity in inferotemporal and perirhinal cortices in recognition memory of visual objects in the macaque
Authors: Sobótka Stanisław
Published: December 2023

Recognizing objects from the past is a vitally important ability for everyday live. The studies of brain mechanisms responsible for visual recognition memory suggest that the modulation of single unit activity in the inferotemporal and perirhinal cortices could be an important part of the neuronal substrate of recognition memory. In this review, I will describe Stimulus Specific Adaptation (SSA) - the reduction in neuronal response to previously viewed objects. The experimental tasks in which SSA is observed will be presented, along with the possibility that SSA may be enhanced by saccadic exploration of visual scene. Next, I will demonstrate that under special circumstances (partially split-brain preparation) monkeys could recognize the re-presentation of visual images without the concomitant appearance of SSA. The most promising alternative candidate for neuronal mechanism involved in recognition memory is delay activity - an increased frequency of cell firing in the time between the initial presentation of an image and its subsequent re-presentation. In order to determine if delay activity is important for recognition we have started to investigate the effects on recognition memory of disrupting delay activity by electrical stimulation. Preliminary results indicate a positive correlation between a reduction in delay activity and a decrease in recognition performance.
Synchronised oscillations of the human sensorimotor cortex
Authors: Schnitzler Alfons , Gross Joachim , Timmermann Lars
Published: December 2023

Oscillations are a prominent feature of macroscopic human sensorimotor cortical activity as recorded non-invasively with electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG). The advent of whole-scalp MEG systems allowing rapid non-invasive recording from the entire cortex and accurate localisation of neural sources, and the development of refined signal analysis methods are important factors that led to an increasing interest in studies of sensorimotor oscillations during the last 10 years. Investigations on healthy subjects revealed frequency-specific localisation and modality-specific reactivity of 10 Hz and 20 Hz sensorimotor oscillations. Task-specific coherence between motor cortical and electromyographic oscillations, reflecting cortico-motoneuronal coupling, point towards a functional role of precentral oscillations in the cortical control of voluntary movements. Furthermore, abnormal cortico-motoneuronal coupling may underlie clinical symptoms of motor disorders, such as tremor. Thus, investigation of oscillatory sensorimotor activity proceeds from phenomenology to function and provides an interesting approach to address questions in human motor physiology and pathophysiology.
Anatomical correlates of the lateral hypothalamic influence on waking-sleep relationship in the rat

Published: December 2023

Restricted electrolytic lesions of the lateral hypothalamus (LH) evoke sleeplessness in the rat. The present study was aimed to analyze a possible anatomical substrate of the LH hyposomnia within the hypothalamus. In a group of electrolytically lesioned LH rats the intensity of sleep disturbances, assessed on the basis of EEG records from the neocortex and the hippocampus, was confronted with the localization and the extent of destruction of the LH area and with the topography of known fiber systems of the medial forebrain bundle (MFB). In separate experiments the effects of the destruction of LH cell bodies by means of bilateral ibotenic acid (IBO) injections and inhibition of LH neuronal elements by bilateral muscimol (MUSe) administration were also tested. It was found that pronounced hyposomnia follows electrolytic but not IBO lesions of the LH/MFB area. The effective LH damage might have been localized at every level of its antero-posterior axis, from the preoptic area up to the posterior hypothalamus, suggesting involvement of fiber system(s) rather than a localized group of neuronal pericaria. The most effective lesions transsected projections descending from the preoptic/anterior hypothalamic area, olfactory structures, ventral striatum and the central amygdaloid nucleus as well as fibers connecting LH with the brainstem reticular formation, many of them using GABA as a neurotransmitter. Bilateral MUSe injections caused a dose-dependent, bicuculline-reversible, increase in waking time, most pronounced at a dose of 50 ng, which ressembled the effect of the electrolytic lesion. These results indicate that LH hyposomnia is not attributable to the damage to the intrahypothalamic neurons and suggest the participation of GABA-ergic transmission in LH in waking-sleep regulation.

The Analysis of Willingness to Accept and Willingness to Pay of Farmers and Consumers on Organic Horticultural Commodities Through Android Application-Based Digital Marketplace
Authors: Prajanti Sucihatinigsih Dian Wisika , Lestari Etty Puji , Primayesa Elvina
Published: December 2023

Purpose: This study aims to analyze farmers' and consumers' willingness to accept and willingness to pay for organic horticultural commodities through an Android application-based digital marketplace.
 
Theoretical  Framework: Parameters in the economic assessment of natural resources and the environment involve how much individuals are willing to pay (WTP) and receive (WTA) Economic valuation methods for natural resources and the environment can be grouped into two types, namely the revealed preference approach and the stated preference approach The implied preference approach includes several techniques, such as the Travel Cost Method, Hedonic Pricing Method, and Averting Cost. On the other hand, the techniques included in the expressed preference approach involve the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) and Conjoint Analysis.
 
Method: This study was conducted in Semarang and Magelang Regencies, Central Java Province. The number of samples interviewed was 110 respondents spread across the two districts. The number of samples in each district was 55 respondents of producer farmers who are accustomed to growing organic horticulture and at the same time as consumers of organic horticulture. The analysis of users’ WTP and WTA of organic horticulture offered to the respondents.
 
Results: The estimated Result of WTP Parameters of the characteristics of the product offered is one of the factors which can affect consumer willingness to pay (WTP). Consumer backgrounds such as income, number of family members, and education can also affect consumers' WTP of a product. In general, the determining factor for consumers’ WTP to be willing to pay more for organic horticulture through a digital marketplace compared to conventional horticulture is better quality.
 
Conclusions: Consumer preference for organic horticulture is positive because the quality and taste are better than horticulture that has been planted before. Organic horticulture has the opportunity to create a market due to the positive response of producers and consumers as indicated by the WTA and WTP.
Quo Vadis Aceh is A Special Autonomous Region in The State of The Republic of Indonesia
Authors: Daudy Muhammad Heikal
Published: December 2023

Objective: This study aims to re-actualize Pancasila as a state ideology, especially the 3rd principle, namely Indonesian Unity. The meaning of unity is considered to be fading given the existence of Aceh, which in the past eighteen years has seen its status degraded, both explicitly and implicitly, especially about Aceh's authority as a special autonomous region.
 
Theoretical framework: this study compares constitutional theory through the text and context of Article 18B paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution and the Amendment Results. Next is the concept of asymmetric decentralization through Law Number 11 of 2006 concerning the Aceh Government (UUPA).
 
Method: The study used normative legal studies, where data collection is carried out using library research with a focus on the application of norms in the UUPA. Presented in a descriptive-analytical manner, by examining the implementation of UUPA based on juridical, historical, political, and social aspects, to find the concrete reality of the implementation of special autonomy in Aceh currently, and its projections in the future.
 
Results and Conclusions: The study shows that in the early days of Aceh's special autonomy, relations with the Central Government were constructive. Aceh has become the center of national mainstreaming. However, recently, conditions no longer work that way. The existence of the UUPA as a document for Aceh's development after the earthquake-tsunami and armed conflict is no longer a special concern for Jakarta, and this threatens the sense of unity of this country.

É importante considerar os prós e contras tanto de bebidas vegetais quanto de leite de vaca, mantendo um equilíbrio na qualidade dos nutrientes consumidos. Enquanto as bebidas vegetais podem ser benéficas para a saúde, não são a única opção, pois o leite de vaca também oferece benefícios e não precisa ser completamente excluído da dieta, especialmente para aqueles sem restrições alimentares. Este trabalho tem como objetivo geral explorar o campo de conhecimento a respeito do produto leite vegetal e comportamento do consumo para tornar seus contribuintes mais relevantes tanto ao público específico quanto consumidor comum. O método utilizado foi o de Revisão bibliográfica com o resultado de duas teses princiapiais de comparativo entre os dois produtos que conclui que ainda há  a necessidade de comprovações cientificas para validar a substituição da bebida vegetal por animal, mas atualmente é uma alternativa complementar a uma dieta comum, mas não extremamente essencial ao indivíduo.
Addressing educational safety in Brazil: Social psychology approaches to mitigate school violence
Authors: Dias Rosimar José de Lima
Published: December 2023

The challenge of school violence presents a complex landscape affecting students, teachers, and the broader community. In this chapter, we delve into an in-depth analysis of school violence within the Brazilian context, advocating for a holistic strategy to tackle this critical issue. Our discussion is rooted in social psychological theories and reinforced by contemporary empirical studies. We examine how individual behaviors, interpersonal dynamics, and broader societal factors contribute to the prevalence of violence in educational settings. The chapter underscores the necessity of nurturing ethical values and fostering environments within schools that are not only safe but also conducive to learning and personal growth. We also highlight the role of evidence-based practices, including programs focused on social-emotional learning and conflict resolution techniques, in mitigating violent incidents. The effective implementation of these strategies demands collaborative efforts from educators, policy makers, family members, and community stakeholders. Integrating insights from social psychology with practical, evidence-backed interventions, this chapter outlines a framework for cultivating an educational atmosphere that is both nurturing and academically enriching, thereby supporting the holistic development of students.

Civil construction is a sector that demands a large amount of natural resources and energy, in addition to being responsible for a significant portion of greenhouse gas emissions. In this context, the use of sustainable materials becomes a viable alternative to reduce the environmental impact of this industry. This work deals with the use of ecological bricks as a sustainable solution in civil construction. Ecological bricks are made with recycled materials or materials from renewable sources, such as construction waste, soil-cement and vegetable fibers. In addition, its production consumes less energy and water compared to conventional bricks, reducing carbon emissions. These bricks have superior thermal and acoustic properties, providing greater environmental comfort in buildings. The use of ecological bricks in civil construction contributes to the preservation of the environment, as it reduces the amount of waste generated and reduces the extraction of natural resources. In addition, these materials have durability and resistance similar to traditional bricks, ensuring the safety of built structures.

Published: December 2023

Objective. The aim of the present study was to describe the causes involved in the pathophysiology of coccydynia, emerging from the coccyx or the anatomical tailbone region.

Case Report. We present the case of a 64-year-old man with pain in the coccyx and numbness in the perianal area. After clinical examination and imaging evaluation, including plain X-rays and magnetic resonance, coccygeal disc disease was identified. Other findings, such as tumor and fracture were excluded. We decided to undertake conservative management and the pain was eventually relieved. This is the first case report of coccygodynia and perianal numbness attributed to coccygeal disc disease.

Conclusion. Although there is no standard treatment, coexisting coccygeal disc disease should be always taken into account, with clinical and imaging examinations being considered of major importance to establish both medical diagnosis and treatment.

Fostering Values-Driven Sustainability Through an Ex-Post Capacities Lens
Authors: Cekan/ova Jindra
Published: December 2023

Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) work is driven by an array of values held by funders, implementers, M&E experts, and the project participants themselves. Some are explicit, such as embedding equity or democratization values into aid projects. Some are assumed, such as the truth of “values-neutral” evaluation or that long-term sustainability will result from projects. The author espouses Quinn Patton’s “activist interventionist change-committed evaluation” in pushing for ex-post evaluation of much development aid programming’s untested hypothesis about the sustainability of results without proof post-project. Programming approaches can make development results more sustained and can be monitored and evaluated. One set of activities is the participatory involvement of national and local stakeholders from the onset and during all stages of programming. The activism includes M&E experts pushing to include listening to local participants and partners via mixed-methods evaluations, especially by hiring local evaluators, and asking not only about donor-expected results but also about locally emerging outcomes, along with sharing learning at all levels, from local to donors. Focusing on the sustainability of outcomes and impacts involves those doing M&E and those involved in explicit sustainability planning from design, with national project stakeholders at every step. This chapter focuses on a roadmap of capacities and tools needed to foster sustainability pre-exit drawn from a decade of ex-post project closure evaluations. Current evaluators can help improve development practice and the durability of results by honing their capacities to evaluate the natural system on which most projects rest and how to foster resilience to climate change via M&E. Once this is built, transformations toward locally-driven development become possible.
The wait and A Muse on the Train
Authors: Lal Alakananda
Published: December 2023

A train journey with a window seat never fails to tinkle one’s imagination. The first poetry is all about the poet’s rekindling emotions over undertaking one such journey and contains descriptions of how the outside world seems different all through the way. The poet wonders what would have happened if all the windows had been turned into emergency exits. So many hearts, then, would have escaped to the different world they had viewed from the windows. The second poem, describes a journey but in a dissimilar form; a journey from innocence to experience and finding joy in discovering self. Human hearts possess an eternal craving for care, love, and belonging. Waiting for someone symbolizes this connection and prioritizes love. The poet in the same way had been waited for and faced waiting. But at last, she found the waiting worthwhile as she thanked herself for realizing her true self in that waiting.
Monotony
Authors: Saraswati Subhanjali
Published: December 2023

Ambience based slam poetry, recorded on a cell-phone. The poem touches upon existentialism, entangled in the silence of everyday. A sly metaphor is placed upon the environment, which enables one to realise the depths of the thoughts portrayed in the wordings. The digital overlaps creates an idea of the hints towards a tinge of dramatism, whilst also relying upon subtle actions to captivate and coarse the audience into relating with the drudgeries of everyday.
