CANTAR DO GALO NA POÉTICA DE JOSÉ ÁNGEL VALENTE E DE FERREIRA GULLAR
Authors: De Melo Jaiana Cristina Oliveira Penedo
Published: October 2024

O presente estudo volta-se para a poética de dois grandes expoentes da literatura ocidental, José Ángel Valente e Ferreira Gullar. Poetas aclamados pela crítica, ambos possuem trajetória de militância e engajamento político, uma vez que passaram por ditaduras em seus países. Espantados por repressões, é recorrente em suas poesias a temática social, de onde subitamente um galo rompe às cegas passeando contra a morte[1]. Como símbolo político, a imagem do galo aparece com certa proeminência nas duas poéticas em questão. Para verificar como tal imagem animalesca se comporta nos escritos desses poetas, mais precisamente nos livros Poemas à Lázaro (1955-1960), de Valente, e A luta corporal (1954), de Gullar, destina-se este trabalho
[1] “Rompe às cegas” é uma referência ao poema “Primer poema”, de Poemas à Lázaro ( 1955-1960),  de José Angel Valente; e  “passeando contra a morte” faz referência ao poema  “Galo Galo”, de A luta corporal (1954), de Ferreira Gullar.
JOSE ÁNGEL VALENTE: POETA DE LAS DOS ORILLAS
Authors: Terrasson Claudie
Published: October 2024

Partindo da constatação da abertura extrema ao universal que manifesta a obra de José Ángel Valente, este artigo aborda un aspecto mais circunscrito, o da relação de Valente com a poesia latinoamericana, mais precisamente sobre o diálogo Valente-Gelman. Este diálogo é emblemático do papel de ponte que desempenhou Valente entre as duas costas.
RESÍDUOS LUSITANOS NA POESIA DE RAQUEL NAVEIRA
Authors: Nascimento Mary , Dias Martins Elizabeth , Silveira de Pontes Medeiros Francisco Roberto
Published: October 2024

Na produção literária da poeta sul-mato-grossense Raquel Naveira é possível identificar diferentes marcas da cultura portuguesa, sobretudo nos textos poéticos. Os traços observados são resíduos de tempos e espaços portugueses que marcaram o estilo da autora, contribuindo para que a hibridação cultural ocupasse grande parte de sua obra. A partir dos parâmetros norteadores da teoria da residualidade (PONTES, 1999), este artigo pretende ilustrar as características comprovadoras do entrecruzamento cultural mencionado. Assim, as discussões realizadas por Peter Burke (2006) e por Zilá Bernd (2004) acerca do tema são imprescindíveis ao presente estudo. Compreende-se, a partir da leitura dos textos naveirianos, a proximidade existente entre a autora e a tradição lusitana. Essa relação une indivíduo e cultura de tal modo que é possível notar um processo endocultural que construiu, e ainda constrói, a identidade da poeta.

A SEREIA SUCUMBE AO NAVEGANTE: O MITO RESIDUALMENTE SUBVERTIDO EM UMA APRENDIZAGEM OU O LIVRO DOS PRAZERES, DE CLARICE LISPECTOR
Authors: Cerqueira Leonildo
Published: October 2024

O presente artigo objetiva incursionar pelo romance Uma Aprendizagem ou O Livro dos Prazeres, de Clarice Lispector, a fim de investigar a mitologia presente na obra, a partir das personagens centrais, Ulisses e Loreley. Para nós, a romancista lança mão de mitos presentes na cultura ocidental para compor as personagens e a trama que as envolve em uma relação de sedução. O que embasa nossa análise são os pressupostos da Teoria da Residualidade (PONTES, s/d), segundo a qual em toda literatura há sempre resíduos de outras épocas e outras manifestações culturais, que são retomadas sob novas roupagens, porém, mantendo a essência daquelas primeiras. No entanto, além de a autora trazer de volta referências ao imaginário de tais mitos, como endossa Frédéric Grieco (2018), ela os submete a um tratamento de reordenação de personagens e significados, procedendo a uma subversão da mitologia original. Desta maneira, em Clarice Lispector, a sereia não entoa e convida o navegante ao mergulho na morte; pelo contrário, Ulisses é quem seduz e convida a sereia ao mergulho metaforicamente fatal, dentro de si mesma.
“A CONCEPÇÃO”: A POÉTICA POLÍTICA DE UM MOVIMENTO JUVENIL
Authors: Mendes Mattos Ricardo
Published: October 2024

A morte do ego e o parto de múltiplas personagens instantâneas foi o mote do movimento chamado de “A Concepção” (2006), filme dirigido por José Eduardo Belmonte. Festas, orgias sexuais, uso de drogas e estelionato estavam entre as principais táticas dos concepcionistas. Os jovens de Brasília tematizados no longa metragem desenvolvem suas ações políticas baseados em obras poéticas, pincipalmente de William Blake, Arthur Rimbaud e Fernando Pessoa. Quais as feições poéticas e políticas dos concepcionistas? A análise dessas fontes literárias permite aprofundar a proposta do movimento juvenil em dissolver o ego em uma diversidade de outros. Da mesma forma, a análise política dessa revolta permite aproximar sua característica temporária e nômade de heresias medievais (como a do Movimento do Livre-Espírito), da geração beat norte-americana e da proposta de zona autônoma temporária, de Hakim Bey.

ANÁLISE DE POEMA PUBLICADO EM SUPORTE DIGITAL: INTERNET, GRAMÁTICA E A RUPTURA COM MECANISMOS DE CONTROLE DE PRODUÇÃO
Authors: Cardoso Arzírio
Published: October 2024

Este artigo tem o objetivo de analisar o poema “páginas do orkut”, de autoria do poeta Alvaro Posselt, a partir da premissa de que há novas formas de configurações textuais na linguagem da internet, e que tais novas abordagens, em virtude da forte influência da oralidade, atuam na ruptura com velhos dogmas e prescrições da Gramática Normativa. Analisaremos pormenorizadamente o poema e o cotejaremos com outros exemplos de abordagens textuais retirados da rede. Para tanto, utilizaremos como principal referencial teórico a obra Ordem do Discurso, de Michel Foucault, utilizando como apoio artigos que tratam da literatura digital e, ainda, outros autores que tratam da importância da linguagem verbal, como George Steiner.
A TRAPAÇA SALUTAR: POESIA, LÍNGUA E GRAMÁTICA
Authors: De Quadros Aurora , Nogueira Camargo Mônica
Published: October 2024

Este trabalho envolve as poesias de Manoel de Barros e de Gilberto Mendonça Teles como instrumentos diferentes de abordagem sobre os funcionamentos e o ensino da língua. Entende-se que a fruição da literatura é propriedade precípua, mas seu uso na escola não é desprovido de intenção formativa e informativa. E, ainda que a natureza estética da literatura seja sua essência inerente e preponderante, sendo geralmente contraindicado seu uso para assimilação de regras linguísticas, o seu funcionamento cognitivo é indiscutível, sendo que o domínio da língua, dentre outros saberes, é aprimorado pela leitura literária, numa fluência que pode propiciar a associação “doce e útil” horaciana. Contrapondo-se ao rigor tenso com que muitas vezes ocorre o ensino da norma culta, a literatura pode ser incluída dentre os instrumentos de desenvolvimento de habilidades linguísticas.   Para reflexão sobre a relação entre o rigor do ensino da língua e a liberdade possibilitada pelo texto literário, as obras Arte de armar, Livro sobre nada e O livro das ignorãças parecem constituir interessante corpus para se pensar a língua e apreender suas configurações. Entendendo a importância da norma culta, cujo debate já criou muita confusão, entende-se que se torna inócuo perseguir o domínio culto utilizando radicalmente o rigor no ensino da norma padrão. Pela leitura, análise e pesquisa bibliográfica, o alcance pretendido é a ideia de que o modo lúdico de construir a escrita favorecem melhor envolvimento e assimilação das faces da língua e da gramática.
O LETRAMENTO LITERÁRIO E A ADAPTAÇÃO DOS CLÁSSICOS NA ESCOLA: RELATO DE UM FESTIVAL DE LITERATURA
Authors: Rodrigues Severino , Maria Pereira Conde Cristiane , Cavalcanti Arruda Marineide
Published: October 2024

Este trabalho visa apresentar os resultados obtidos no Festival de Literatura, realizado em 2019, no Instituto Federal de Pernambuco no Campus Barreiros. Partindo da leitura da obra Primas em cordel: versões rimadas de 12 clássicos da literatura universal, de Stélio Torquato Lima, e distribuído aos estudantes de escolas públicas por meio do PNBE Literário 2018. Este relato de experiência vem atestar que “o exercício de imaginação que a leitura de todo texto literário requer é uma das formas relevantes de o leitor assumir sua posição de sujeito” (COSSON, 2018, p. 50). Assim, nossa fundamentação teórica foi construída a partir das leituras de Cosson (2016, 2018, 2020), Calvino (1993) e Machado (2009). O engajamento dos discentes como protagonistas tanto nas leituras e discussões da obra literária norteadora quanto na recriação por meio de texto teatral e sua consequente encenação comprovaram que, quando a linguagem literária é efetivamente compreendida, a leitura faz sentido.
LITERATURA: DA FORMAÇÃO HUMANA AO DESENVOLVIMENTO DO PENSAMENTO CRÍTICO
Authors: Mangussi Juliana
Published: October 2024

Contextualiza-se a literatura como elemento indispensável à formação humana, assim como para o desenvolvimento do pensamento crítico, pautados em um ensino que favoreça a formação de sujeitos críticos e protagonistas, capazes de assumir-se responsavelmente e que aprendam a dizer a sua palavra. Ressalta-se o papel do professor como mediador no processo de ensino e aprendizagem, enquanto sujeito leitor, que não se exclui diante aos posicionamentos, mas que compartilha as suas leituras, sem, contudo, impô-las. Nesse sentido, apresentam-se fundamentações teóricas que abordam a importância da literatura, na formação de um sujeito mais humano e que saiba se posicionar frente as leituras que faz, sejam elas de livros ou de mundo que lhe são propiciadas cotidianamente. Pretende-se que essa pesquisa possa contribuir com os educadores de áreas afins na reflexão sobre o seu papel no ensino de aulas significativas de literatura.

Este artigo estuda a Lei n.º 13.303, de 30.06.2016, Lei das Estatais, que surge como uma nova ferramenta de controle, com a aplicação de modernos instrumentos, advindos do conceito de governança. Essa Lei instituiu o controle dos atos de gestão a partir do compliance, que, por sua vez, é parte da política de integridade. Essa Lei, nasce para dirimir as dificuldades de controle das estatais, visando combater a corrupção e a improbidade administrativa. Em razão da função social das estatais, em constante atualização e evolução, também assim, devem ser os sistemas de controle; este e monitoramento são desafiados a se adequar aos novos programas de integridade. Abordamos o controle como um instrumento para que a Administração atinja o melhor resultado pretendido, sem novos procedimentos burocráticos. Ou seja, que os objetivos sejam alcançados por um sistema de controle eficiente, com um bom funcionamento
da Administração. Nesse contexto, de inovações e integridade, o 10º pilar do compliance configura-se pela diversidade e inclusão (D&I) que vai incorporar às empresas e suas práticas à inserção e acolhimento da Diversidade, leia-se a partir da sociologia, minorias: negros (pretos e pardos), deficientes/neurodivergentes, mulheres, idosos e membros da comunidade LGBT+ que se caracterizam elementos contemporâneos da integridade.
Evaluating the level of trace elements in Iraqi women with early-stage breast cancer
Authors: Shahad A. Jarallah  , Falah S. Al-Fartusie  , Dheaa Sh. Zgeer
Published: October 2024

Breast cancer is one of a group of diseases in which cells in the breast tissue change and divide uncontrollably, causing these cells to clump. Invasive cancers can spread to nearby lymph nodes or other organs (metastasize). Elements are found in different forms in nature, and these elements are very necessary for the performance of the body›s various functions; Elements such as iron and zinc are essential components of enzymes where they attract or subtract molecules and facilitate their conversion to specific end products. Few elements donate or accept electrons during redox reactions. This study aimed to follow the change in the level of trace elements (TEs) and the extent to which these changes are related to the risk of breast cancer before taking chemotherapy or removing the tumor, by drawing 5 ml of venous blood from 120 women (60 patients and 60 control), the serum was separated then used to measure Zn, Cu, Fe, Mg, Cr, and whole blood (2ml) to measure Pb, Cd. In addition to studying the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) of these elements. Evaluation of trace elements revealed a significant increase in the levels of Fe, Cu, Pb, and Cd, in contrast to a significant decrease in the levels of Zn and Mg in breast cancer patients compared to a healthy control group.

Published: October 2024

The active use of modern computer technologies in philology has led to the intensive development of corpus linguistics. A promising direction in this area is the development of national language corpora and the construction of concordances of various types, differing in the forms of presentation of the material, search capabilities, and technical functions. This research presents basic information about the national language corpora and concordances currently being developed in Kazakhstan. We note that the level of development of corpus linguistics in Kazakhstan differs from the level of development of language corpora in developed countries. Therefore, we point out objective factors that cause an insufficiently high rate of development of Kazakhstani dictionaries in electronic form, especially alphabetical-frequency concordances to the author's texts. This research is a part of our project to develop a Kazakh-Russian parallel corpus of Akhmet Baitursynov, which has about 3,500 words in usage. The article analyzes the structure of concordance and presents the stages, tasks of development, and functional description of the first concordance in Kazakh lexicography by Akhmet Baitursynov, a reformer and founder of Kazakh orthography, a Turkologist, author of the first textbooks. The article analyzes different approaches of scientists to the issue of systematization and typological characteristics of known concordances. Based on this analysis, we have proposed their generalized classification. The developed version of the concordance of A. Baitursynov’s language is the foundation for creating a variety of dictionaries; it can become a precedent for translating Kazakh language to a digital platform.

Der vermeidbare Tod
Authors: Rothem Nitzan
Published: October 2024

Dieser Aufsatz untersucht die sozialen Beziehungen, die in den israelischen Begriffen und Verfahren im Zusammenhang mit dem Geiseldrama zwischen Israel und der Hamas in den Jahren 2023 und 2024 zum Ausdruck kommen. Er analysiert die Beteiligung von vier Schlüsselbereichen – Recht, Militär, Politik und die Familien der Geiseln –, indem er das Vokabular, das verwendet wird, um über die Geiseln zu sprechen, den tatsächlichen Maßnahmen gegenüberstellt, die in Bezug auf ihr Schicksal getroffen wurden. In diesem Essay wird argumentiert, dass die vorherrschenden israelischen Begriffe wie ›Abkommen‹ und ›Entführte‹ dazu beitragen, die Fortsetzung des Krieges und den Untergang der Geiseln zu legitimieren, anstatt ihre Rettung zu fordern, und damit Israels moralische Grundsätze über Zugehörigkeit und Gegenseitigkeit verändern.
Faces as traces

Bianca Stigters Film arbeitet ausschließlich mit drei Minuten Filmmaterial, das ein amerikanischer Geschäftsmann im Sommer 1938 in seiner polnischen Geburtsstadt Nasielsk belichtet hat. Die Bilder, ›aus dem Fluss der Zeit‹ gerissen, erlauben Stigter eine künstlerische Begegnung mit Menschen und ihrem Leben, die im Bewusstsein geschieht, dass sie wenig mehr als ein Jahr später verschleppt und ermordet wurden. Im analytischen Nachvollzug der filmischen Arbeit entstehen Konturen eines Verständnisses von Trauer, die der Philosophie von Walter Benjamin und Emmanuel Lévinas oder der psychoanalytischen Theorie von Wilfred R. Bion näher ist als dem von Freud in ›Trauer und Melancholie‹ eingeführten und immer noch weitgehend anerkannten Konzept der Trauer.
Fast and readable layered network visualizations using large neighborhood search
Authors: Wilson Connor , Crnovrsanin Tarik , Puerta Eduardo , Dunne Cody
Published: October 2024

Layered network visualizations assign each node to one of several parallel axes. They can convey sequence or flow data, hierarchies, or multiple data classes, but edge crossings and long edges often impair readability. Layout algorithms can reduce edge crossings and shorten edges using quick heuristics or optimal methods that prioritize human readability over computation speed. This work uses an optimization metaheuristic to provide the best of both worlds: high-quality layouts within a predetermined execution time. Our adaptation of the large neighborhood search metaheuristic repeatedly selects fixed-sized subgraphs to lay out optimally. We conducted a computational evaluation using 450 synthetic networks to compare five ways of selecting candidate nodes, four ways of selecting their neighboring subgraph, and three criteria for determining subgraph size. Large neighborhood search generally halved the number of crossings vs. the barycentric heuristic while maintaining a reasonable runtime. Our best approach randomly selected candidate nodes, used degree centrality to pick cluster-like neighborhoods, and chose smaller neighborhoods that could be optimally laid out in 0.6 or 1.2 seconds (vs. 6 seconds). In a case study visualizing 13 control flow graphs, most with over 1000 nodes, we show that our method can be employed to create visualizations with fewer crossings than Tabu Search, another metaheuristic, and vastly outperforms an ILP solver on meaningfully large graphs.

Time Programs and their Impact on Engineering Project Management
Authors: Saboun Zuhair M. A
Published: October 2024

Time programs are the basis for the success of any project, as they determine the timing of various activities and stages, and help in coordinating various tasks, especially in large engineering projects. These programs allow for careful planning, effective organization of human and financial resources, and continuous monitoring of project progress to detect and address any deviations. It also contributes to identifying potential risks and evaluating the project from a technical and financial perspective, which leads to improving performance, reducing costs, and enhancing quality. Commitment to the schedule enhances customer satisfaction by delivering projects on time. Through the methodology of description, analysis, and comparison, a questionnaire was conducted among a sample of project managers, executive engineers, and time program designers in contracting companies about the importance of time programs and their effects on engineering projects, and the results of the questionnaire were analyzed. The results indicated There are factors that affect the success of time programs and engineering projects. If they are taken into account, this leads to improving the quality of projects and customer satisfaction. The link between customer satisfaction and the success of projects is related to time programs. Customer satisfaction is closely linked to the success of the project linked to the schedule through a simple stage, which is the quality and success of the project. The results indicated that the quality of engineering projects linked to timetables is inversely linked to mismanagement at a rate ranging between 62% and 75% and inversely linked to changes resulting from changes in design and requirements. Customers are 77% related to external factors, such as environmental factors and 86% economic factors. If these factors improve, the quality of the project improves, meet customer requirements, and obtain their satisfaction.
Women’s Property and Inheritance Rights: Application of Laws from the Perspective of Two Major Religions in Bangladesh
Authors: Shuborna Nasrin Sultana
Published: October 2024

Since the establishment of Bangladesh in 1971, the Government has been committed to providing equal rights and opportunities for women through laws laid down in the constitution. Since independence, while many policies have been implemented to ensure women's empowerment, unfortunately, they continue to face obstacles in inheritance rights. While there are laws in place for both Hindu and Muslim families to ensure the proper distribution of property, in practice, these laws are not rigorous or sufficient to allow women to take charge of their rightful shares, thus depriving them of one pathway to financial independence. Furthermore, due to socio-cultural pressures, women are also unable to demand their rights effectively. When compared to the past, Bangladesh is progressing well in terms of women's empowerment and establishing gender parity in society, but establishing and ensuring absolute ownership of property for women will help us achieve the target within a short time. The purpose of this paper will be to provide a broad survey of existing laws and discuss possible solutions to address prevailing discrimination to bring about full property rights for women in Bangladesh (although this issue affects Shia and Ahmadiyya women in Bangladesh in terms of percentage, they constitute a very small community. Therefore, they are outside the stated scope of the study).

The objectives of this research were 1) To study the use of Information technology for school administration under Sarasas affiliated area 3 schools. 2) To compare the use of Information technology for school administration under Sarasas affiliated area 3 schools, classified by educational qualifications, tenure status, school size, and varying work experiences; and 3) To examine approaches to the use of Information technology for school administration under Sarasas affiliated area 3 schools. The research method is divided into two steps Step 1 Study and compare the use of Information technology for school administration. The sample group includes 251 administrators and teachers from within Sarasas affiliated area 3 schools, selected through stratified random sampling based on the proportion of teachers in each school. The research instrument is a questionnaire on the use of Information technology for school administration, created by the researcher, and designed using a 5-level rating scale. Data are analyzed using the mean and standard deviation. Step 2 Study the approach to the use of Information technology for school administration under Sarasas affiliated area 3 schools. The informants include three experts selected by purposive sampling. The tools used for data collection include an interview form on the use of Information technology for school administration under Sarasas affiliated area 3 schools. Data were analyzed using content analysis. The research results found that: 1) the use of Information technology for school administration under Sarasas affiliated area 3 schools was at a high level overall. When considering each aspect, the area with the highest average score was general administration, also at a high level. 2) Administrators and teachers with different educational qualifications used information technology in administration differently, as classified by the educational qualification variable. 3) The results also suggest that in terms of academic administration, ICT and Hybrid Learning should be utilized to develop mobile classrooms, digital media, assessment methods, and to enhance parental participation. In budget administration, funds should be allocated for learning equipment, disease prevention, software and internet investment, and using Big Data to improve learning. For personnel administration, online work systems should be adopted, teachers’ digital skills should be developed, Hybrid Learning should be promoted, and leadership should follow the Super Coach model. In general administration, online systems should be used to track students, develop websites, and create digital media archives. Additionally, equipment for online teaching should be allocated.
Bioremediation of multiple heavy metals through biostimulation of Microbial-Induced Calcite Precipitation at varying calcium-to-urea concentrations
Authors: Comadran Casas Carla , Gauchotte-Lindsay Caroline , Unluer Cise , MacDonald John , Bass Adrian , Khaksar Najafi Elmira
Published: October 2024

Studies on heavy metal bioremediation through Microbial-Induced Calcite Precipitation (MICP) typically involve bioaugmentation approaches that use low calcium-to-urea ratios and target single contaminants. We present an investigation on the efficiency of soils’ autochthonous ureolytic bacteria to simultaneously remediate multiple heavy metals and sequester carbon through urea hydrolysis and MICP on an urban soil containing excess Pb, Zn, Mn, Sr, Ba and Al and two regional sandy soils. Soils were treated at a fixed urea concentration of 333 mM and increasing calcium content of 0, 50 and 333 mM to provide a range of carbonation potential. Urea hydrolysis (Ca2+ = 0 mM) did not produce quantifiable soil carbonation and mobilised Mn into the exchangeable fraction. Ca2+ at 50 mM delayed soils’ autochthonous ureolytic activity and produced limited carbon and heavy metal mineralisation (CaCO3 = 0-0.7%). 333 mM of Ca2+ inhibited urea hydrolysis however, if applied following urea hydrolysis, both carbon (CaCO3 = 4-7%) and heavy metal (Pb, Zn, Mn, Sr and Ba) mineralisation were maximised. Urea hydrolysis and MICP were most successful in removing Pb and Zn from the exchangeable fraction (>85%). However, the higher pH induced by urea hydrolysis at Ca2+ = 0-50 mM (~9) compared to 333 mM (~8.5) favoured partition of Pb into the oxyhydroxide fraction. Instead, partition of Zn, Mn, Sr and Ba into the soil carbonate fraction increased with increasing calcium, whilst there was no evidence of Al carbonation. The results of this study evidence the feasibility of biostimulation approaches to remediate multiple contaminants simultaneously through MICP, provide insights into multiple element’s behaviour during urea hydrolysis and MICP and demonstrate carbon and element mineralisation are maximised at equimolar calcium-to-urea ratio of 333 mM.
IoT-Based Intravenous (IV) Therapy Monitoring System for Elderly Care
Authors: Irianto Kurniawan D. , Firdaus Faris R.
Published: October 2024

The rapid growth of technology has had a tremendous impact on many parts of life, including medicine. One of its most significant advancements is the Internet of Things (IoT), which allows electrical gadgets to connect more efficiently. In the realm of health, IoT has enabled smart solutions such as intravenous (IV) therapy monitoring systems for elderly patients receiving outpatient care. Elderly patients sometimes require intravenous therapy, which necessitates careful monitoring. However, physical and cognitive limitations make it difficult for individuals to operate intravenous devices on their own. As a result, an IoT-based intravenous monitoring system has been developed to make it easier for the elderly to monitor their intravenous at home. This technology monitors intravenous volume in real time and sends alarms in the event of fluid delivery issues or failures. This technology is projected to improve the quality of life for older people by providing a sense of security and reducing the need for frequent hospital visits.
The B-Man Stra/Tac model of the Mind and Consciousness
Authors: Howard John
Published: October 2024

The B-Man Stra/Tac model is new and comprehensive and intended to replace previous theories of consciousness and the mind. I am confident it is correct, based on the model’s coherence and its explanation of so much of human behaviour. David Chalmers’ idea of the Hard Problem of Consciousness can be considered on two levels, the functional level, why are we conscious, why do we have conscious experiences ? And the technological level, how does consciousness work; what exactly is conscious matter ? This theory resolves the first part, including the philosophical zombie question, as it shows why feeling is an inherent part of consciousness, and the tremendous advantage that a feeling organism possesses, summarised in the word “omnilyo”. While not directly addressing the technological aspects, the theory does define requirements and constraints on the workings of conscious matter, which, while clearly beyond current scientific capabilities, does signpost the invention of artificial consciousness, which, needless to say, would be mankind’s greatest discovery.
Stereotypes and Social Decisions: The Interpersonal Consequences of Socioeconomic Status
Authors: Hughes Bradley T , Jacobson Rachel , Rule Nicholas , Srivastava Sanjay
Published: October 2024

Perceptions of socioeconomic status (SES) can perpetuate inequality by influencing interpersonal interactions in ways that disadvantage people with low SES. Indeed, lab studies have provided evidence that people can detect others’ SES and that they may use this information to apply stereotypes that influence interpersonal decisions. Here, we examine how SES and SES-based stereotypes affect real-world social interactions between people from a socioeconomically diverse population. We used the computer mediated online round robin (CMORR) method to facilitate interactions among 297 participants from across the US. Participants completed a series of dyadic interactions with other participants in virtual rooms in which they discussed a recent negative consumer experience. After each interaction, they judged the interaction partner’s SES, personality traits, and credibility of their consumer experience. Results showed that people perceived SES with moderate accuracy in the interactions, which elicited negative interpersonal stereotypes of low-SES individuals for all 12 of the personality traits measured. People also preferred to affiliate with others with high SES, had more sympathy for them, and found their experiences more credible. SES-based interpersonal stereotypes about personality traits mediated these associations. The perception of SES in real-time interactions thus appears to activate stereotypes that guide social judgments, supporting the hypothesis that interpersonal effects contribute to economic inequality.
Sensory Processing Sensitivity and Its Associations with Personality, Empathy, and Alexithymia

Published: October 2024

Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS) has garnered increased attention in psychological research due to its potential implications for understanding individual differences in personality and mental health. However, there is still a lack of comprehensive scientific investigation of its underlying mechanisms and its associations with other psychological constructs. This study aims to address this gap by examining the associations between SPS and personality traits, empathy, and alexithymia.
Choice Velocity in AQS Tasks and its Relation to Symbolic Mathematics in 4th and 6th grade students
Authors: Diaz Santiago Alonso , Huertas Juan Jose Giraldo
Published: October 2024

The approximate number system (ANS) and the ratio processing system (RPS) are non-symbolic cognitive structures that estimate numerical quantities from the world (from now on the AQS system, Q for rational). The AQS precision correlates with symbolic mathematics scores, though with mixed findings in the literature. At the same time, there is a robust link between motor and number processing. Consequently, we explored the influence of a motor computation in symbolic mathematics scores, namely choice velocity. Results reveal that faster students in non-symbolic AQS tasks had higher mathematic scores. Moreover, the relationship was qualitatively different at 4th and 6th grade, indicating developmental changes. From these exploratory results we propose that velocity carries a decision-making signal (e.g., confidence) and that such signal may have direct or back-door access to mathematics scores. Not accounting for such signal may explain mixed results regarding the influence of the AQS on symbolic mathematics.
The conflicting functions of image editing guidelines in journalism
Authors: Arends Stef , de Jong Jaap
Published: October 2024

Many major media organizations have published image editing guidelines in recent decades. With a qualitative content analysis of the guidelines of ANP, AP, Reuters, NPPA and WPP and interviews with image editors of ANP, WPP, De Volkskrant, NOS and De Correspondent, two questions are answered: 1. What are the functions of image editing guidelines in journalistic organizations, based on the guidelines themselves and the explanations given by the authors? 2. What are the possible consequences for photojournalists and the public if these functions conflict? The analysis shows that the boundary work function strongly conflicts with the governance function and accountability function. Guidelines for image editing in photojournalism reinforce the myth that ‘news photos are objective’ for the purpose of defining the field of photojournalism (boundary work). As a result, guidelines do not function as well as a quality assurance tool and as a media accountability system, with adverse consequences for photojournalists and the public.

शिक्षण अभ्यास एक प्रयोगात्मक पाठ्यांश हो । यसले छात्र शिक्षकलाई कक्षामा सिकेको शिक्षणसँग सम्बन्धित सैद्धान्तिक ज्ञानलाई व्यवहारमा उतार्न मद्दत गर्दछ । सफल शिक्षक बन्न तथा प्रभावकारी शिक्षण गर्न व्यक्तिमा आवश्यक शैक्षिक योग्यताका साथ साथै यथार्थ शैक्षिक वातावरणको उपस्थिति पनि अपरिहार्य मानिन्छ । विषयको प्रकृतिअनुसार निर्धारित उद्देश्यअनुरूप उपयुक्त शैक्षिक सामग्री, शिक्षण सिकाई क्रियाकलाप तथा मूल्याङ्कन प्रक्रिया अवलम्बन गरेर शिक्षण गर्न शिक्षण अभ्यास प्रक्रिया अपरिहार्य मानिन्छ । वास्तविक शिक्षणमा जानु पूर्व नमुना शिक्षण एवं सूक्ष्म शिक्षण ÷ सहपाठी शिक्षण अभ्यास गरी सिकाइको तयारी गर्नु अपरीहार्य हुन्छ । सिकारुले सिकेका सैद्धान्तिक ज्ञानलाई व्यवहारीक र प्रयोगात्मक बनाउन शिक्षण अभ्यास आवश्यक हुन्छ । शिक्षण अभ्यास शिक्षाशास्त्र सङ्कायको मुटु नै हो । शिक्षण अभ्यास आवश्यक र अपरीहार्य भए तापनि यसको सञ्चालन र व्यवस्थापनमा प्रशस्त समस्याहरू देखिने गरेको छ । विद्यार्थी नियमित नहुने सूक्ष्म शिक्षणमा सक्रिय सहभागी र उपस्थित नहुने, पर्याप्त सामग्रीको अभाव हुने, सिलेवस तथा मूल्याङ्कनको मर्म अनुसार शिक्षण अभ्यास सञ्चालन नहुने तथा मूल्याङ्कन कार्य प्रभावकारी नहुने जस्ता समस्याहरू छन् । यस्ता समस्यालाई समाधान गरी शिक्षण अभ्यास कार्य प्रभावकारी बनाउन आवश्यक छ (थापा र सिलवाल, २०७६) ।

Glosa do Wyroku Naczelnego Sądu Administracyjnego z dnia 1 grudnia 2022 r., sygn. akt III OSK 6254/21
Authors: Jaroszyński Tomasz
Published: October 2024

West Pomeranian Voivodship Sejmik adopted a resolution containing a position in which it appealed to the Government of the Republic of Poland to withdraw its veto of the draft European Union budget for 2021–2027 and the Next Generation UE (NGEU). In a supervisory decision, the Voivode declared the resolution invalid on the grounds that it had been adopted with the violation of substantive law. The Voivodship Administrative Court in Szczecin overturned this decision, as a result of which the Voivode lodged a cassation appeal to the Supreme Administrative Court of Poland. The subject of the commentary is the judgement of the Supreme Administrative Court of Poland, in which it upheld this appeal and overruled the judgement of the Voivodship Administrative Court in Szczecin, justifying it with the lack of a legal basis for the West Pomeranian Voivodship Sejmik position and a breach of the competences of the Council of Ministers. According to the author of the commentary, the Supreme Administrative Court of Poland did not take into account the fact that the voivodship self-government also conducts development policy, the financing of which is related to the issues aforementioned in the position of the West Pomeranian Voivodship Sejmik. Hence, this body was entitled to adopt the resolution and did not thereby encroach upon the competences of the Council of Ministers.

La moralidad del placer: revaloración del placer y desarrollo moral en el hedonismo epicúreo
Authors: Bárcena Reynoso Jorge Antonio
Published: October 2024

Resumen. Bárcena Reynoso, Jorge Antonio. La moralidad del placer: revaloración del placer y desarrollo moral en el hedonismo epicúreo. En el presente artículo ofrezco un análisis de la dimensión moral del hedonismo epicúreo a partir de dos momentos constitutivos: 1) la revaloración de Epicuro del placer y 2) el tránsito progresivo de la insensatez a la sabiduría en la vida placentera. El primer momento considera el replanteamiento de la identificación del placer con el mal, y su oposición con la virtud, para examinar las bases del fundamento racional y moral del hedonismo epicúreo. El segundo momento contempla la tarea de transformar la disposición del alma a través de los ejercicios del cultivo del placer que se dirige al bien.
