Lehrkräftebildner und -bildnerinnen im Modul „Deutsch für Schülerinnen und Schüler mit Zuwanderungsgeschichte“ zwischen institutionellen Vorgaben, individuellen Vorstellungen und zielgruppenspezifischen Bedarfen
Authors: Berkel-Otto Lisa
Published: July 2024

Zur Weiterentwicklung des an den Hochschulen Nordrhein-Westfalens zum festen Bestandteil der Lehrkräftebildung gehörenden Moduls „Deutsch für Schülerinnen und Schüler mit Zuwanderungsgeschichte“ (DSSZ), beispielsweise durch die Schaffung von mehr Lerngelegenheiten, muss der Status quo des Moduls ermittelt und beschrieben werden. Der Beitrag fokussiert deshalb auf die bisweilen wenig beachtete Gruppe der im Modul tätigen Hochschullehrenden. Aufgrund des durch die Rahmenbedingungen des Moduls (Zielgruppe, Umfang etc.) entstehenden Spannungsverhältnisses drängt sich die Frage auf, wie die Lehrenden im Modul mit diesen Anforderungen umgehen, welche Faktoren sie fokussieren und welche gruppenspezifischen Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede sich daraus ergeben. In einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse problemzentrierter Interviews mit zwanzig Modullehrenden an zwei Standorten A und B zeigen sich vor allem fächergruppenspezifische Unterschiede. Eine anschließende Typenbildung liefert Hinweise darauf, dass die Modullehrenden überwiegend individuen- und zielgruppenspezifisch handeln und sich gleichzeitig in einem Kontext bewegen, in dem sie permanent durch den eng gesteckten Modulrahmen evozierte Entscheidungen treffen müssen.
Life on Pálava Hills in the Urnfield period through the perspective of a metal-detecting survey
Authors: Navrátil Aleš , Slavíček Karel , Petřík Jan , Bíško Richard
Published: July 2024

Pálava is a complex of prominent limestone hills in South Moravia, with extensive traces of prehistoric activities. This study presents the results of a long-term metal-detecting survey of the Pálava Hills and their surroundings. It focuses on findings dated to the Bronze Age and especially to the Urnfield period with 673 from the topsoil recovered artefacts. The study monitors the functional composition of the items within the dataset, as well as the spatial distribution of individual artefacts. The data from the surveys allow comparisons between the enclosed sites at the Stolová hora, Kotel, and Děvín hills, and the open satellite settlements in the hinterland. The results are also used for a comparison with other Moravian Bronze Age sites that have been surveyed with the same method. The study also includes a metallographic analysis of 177 objects. The results create a picture of an intensively used hillfort at Stolová hora, which in the Urnfield period represented a centrepiece of a broader agglomeration, and at some point, also probably of the whole region.
Promoting low carbon construction using alkali-activated materials: A modeling study for strength prediction and feature interaction
Authors: Liu Xiaofeng , Wang Yanli , Lu Chengyuan
Published: July 2024

In place of Portland cement concrete, alkali-activated materials (AAMs) are becoming more popular because of their widespread use and low environmental effects. Unfortunately, reliable property predictions have been impeded by the restrictions of conventional materials science methods and the large compositional variability of AAMs. A support vector machine (SVM), a bagging regressor (BR), and a random forest regressor (RFR) were among the machine learning models developed in this study to assess the compressive strength (CS) of AAMs in an effort to gain an answer to this topic. Improving predictions in this crucial area was the goal of this study, which used a large dataset with 381 points and eight input factors. Also, the relevance of contributing components was assessed using a shapley additive explanations (SHAP) approach. In terms of predicting AAMs CS, RFR outperformed BR and SVM. Compared to the RFR model’s 0.96 R
2, the SVM and BR models’ R
2-values were 0.89 and 0.93, respectively. In addition, the RFR model’s greater accuracy was indicated by an average absolute error value of 4.08 MPa compared to the SVM’s 6.80 MPa and the BR’s 5.83 MPa, which provided further proof of their validity. According to the outcomes of the SHAP research, the two factors that contributed the most beneficially to the strength were aggregate volumetric ratio and reactivity. The factors that contributed the most negatively were specific surface area, silicate modulus, and sodium hydroxide concentration. Using the produced models to find the CS of AAMs for various input parameter values can help cut down on costly and time-consuming laboratory testing. In order to find the best amounts of raw materials for AAMs, academics and industries could find this SHAP study useful.

Authors: Vázquez-Vázquez Leydi Lorena , Jiménez-Pérez Nelly del Carmen , De la Cruz-Elizondo Yadeneyro , Rodríguez-Luna Ana Rosa , Morales-Bautista Carlos Mario
Published: July 2024

Los manglares son ecosistemas susceptibles a cambios provocados por fuentes antropogénicas o naturales, en los que destacan los derrames de contaminantes, plagas y fenómenos atmosféricos. En este trabajo se identificaron larvas del insecto defoliador y las áreas de manglares que este organismo afectó en Paraíso, Tabasco, a finales del 2020. La metodología se basó en la delimitación y cuantificación de zonas afectadas por defoliación, así como en la captura y observación del desarrollo del insecto. Se encontraron siete áreas afectadas, sumando un total de 116 ha. Los árboles mayormente afectados fueron Rhizophora mangle y Laguncularia racemosa, cuya localización estaba cerca de efluentes salobres. La especie fue identificada como Hylesia colimatifex (Saturniidae), la cual apareció y desapareció en paralelo con las inundaciones en el sitio.
Deep learning in interstitial lung disease: classification and prognostic insights
Authors: Wang Yisong , Shang Youlan , Yao Jiaqi , Li Hao , Kui Xiaoyan , Zhao Wei , Liu Jun
Published: July 2024

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) comprises diverse parenchymal lung disorders, and are an important cause of morbidity and mortality among lung diseases. Disagreement is frequently observed among radiologic reads, pathologic interpretations, and multidisciplinary discussion consensus. Therefore, establishing a definitive diagnosis of ILD by using current techniques and criteria poses a considerable challenge. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) plays a crucial role in characterizing imaging patterns and predicting ILD prognosis. However, the substantial overlap in radiographic findings hinders accurate diagnosis of ILD in HRCT, even by experienced radiologists. Recently, deep learning (DL), a strategy that can automatically learn important characteristic features and patterns within CT images, has shown great potential in classifying and predicting ILD prognosis. This review summarizes current DL applications in ILD classification and prognosis evaluation; discusses challenges in clinical implementation; and presents insights for advancing this field. In conclusion, advanced DL can enhance diagnostic accuracy and enable more personalized treatment, thus providing new perspectives for managing ILD in the future.
Integrated Perceptual Decisions Rely on Parallel Evidence Accumulation
Authors: Rangelov Dragan , Fellrath Julia , Mattingley Jason B.
Published: July 2024

The ability to make accurate and timely decisions, such as judging when it is safe to cross the road, is the foundation of adaptive behavior. While the computational and neural processes supporting simple decisions on isolated stimuli have been well characterized, decision-making in the real world often requires integration of discrete sensory events over time and space. Most previous experimental work on perceptual decision-making has focused on tasks that involve only a single, task-relevant source of sensory input. It remains unclear, therefore, how such integrative decisions are regulated computationally. Here we used psychophysics, electroencephalography, and computational modeling to understand how the human brain combines visual motion signals across space in the service of a single, integrated decision. To that purpose, we presented two random-dot kinematograms in the left and the right visual hemifields. Coherent motion signals were shown briefly and concurrently in each location, and healthy adult human participants of both sexes reported the average of the two motion signals. We directly tested competing predictions arising from influential serial and parallel accounts of visual processing. Using a biologically plausible model of motion filtering, we found evidence in favor of parallel integration as the fundamental computational mechanism regulating integrated perceptual decisions.
Constructed Movements: Extraction and Resistance in Mexican Migrant Communities
Authors: Shah Ragini
Published: July 2024

At once theoretically sophisticated and poignantly written, Constructed Movements centers stories from communities in Mexico profoundly affected by emigration to the United States to show how migration extracts resources along racial lines. Ragini Shah chronicles how three interrelated dynamics—the maldistribution of public resources, the exploitation of migrant labor, and the US immigration enforcement regime—entrench the necessity of migration as a strategy for survival in Mexico. She also highlights the alternative visions elaborated by migrant community organizations that seek to end the conditions that force migration. Recognizing that reform without recompense will never right an unjust migratory system, Shah concludes with a forceful call for the US and Mexican governments to make abolitionist investments and reparative compensation to directly counteract this legacy of extraction.

Śpiewnik Śpiewajmy. Utwory na trzygłosowy chór mieszany z komentarzami wykonawczymi dla dyrygentów jako przykład wzorcowej odpowiedzi na zapotrzebowanie repertuarowe chórów młodzieżowych
Authors: Panas Agnieszka ,   Uniwersytet w Białymstoku
Published: July 2024

The text is a comprehensive review of the songbook Śpiewajmy. Utwory na trzygłosowy chór mieszany z komentarzami wykonawczymi dla dyrygentów. The author draws attention to the characteristics of conducting youth choirs and the difficulty of finding appropriate choral repertoire which takes into account the peculiarities of the forming young male voice and the unequal proportions in ensembles. The publication of the Narodowe Forum Muzyki, edited by Kseniya Miśkiewicz and Agnieszka Franków-Żelazny, is a response to the very important need for compositions that meets the expectations of a demanding audience. Analysis of the songbook’s construction, commentaries, legends, performance guidelines and all additional elements made it possible to demonstrate a carefully planned form, as well as valuable and professional methodological preparation. Through a detailed discussion of several selected compositions, attention was drawn to their individual qualities, unique musical and semantic aspects, as well as the benefits that can come from including them in the repertoire of a youth choir. A review of the selected songs from the thematic and musical point of view indicated a great melodic and rhythmic diversity, as well as a high substantive and cultural value of the compiled texts. Analysis and review of the songbook Śpiewajmy. Utwory na trzygłosowy chór mieszany z komentarzami wykonawczymi dla dyrygentów allows to conclude that this is a publication that fills a gap in the choral repertoire intended for three-voice mixed choir. Carefulness, planning as well as the substantive and methodical side of the collection, together with its unique and varied musical and textual qualities, allow to place it as a model for the further development of Polish choral music.
Procesos de organización social en el Valle del Dorado: perspectivas desde la memoria colectiva
Authors: Goyes Valencia Diana Yizel , Misnaza Ramírez Luis Alberto
Published: July 2024

This article is part of the results of research that analyzed the conformation and construction of networks based on the processes of social organization of rural communities in the area of Valle del Dorado in the municipality of Yotoco, Colombia, taking as a starting point the collective memory of its inhabitants. In this sense, we propose to understand the relationship between collective memory, traditional social organization and the emerging processes that derive from it in the context of modernity. As part of the research design, an exploratory-descriptive study was proposed that involved participatory action (PAR) as a methodological strategy and the application of different information gathering techniques, such as workshops with the community, interviews and the review of different documents that contributed to the understanding of community processes. As one of the main results, it was found that the networks formed by state and corporate agents in which the communities of Valle del Dorado participate influence the traditional structures of social organization of the latter, a fact that occurs as a negotiation between the traditional and modern aspects that are at stake.

Authors: González Delgado Jennifer , Agudelo Herrera Isabella , Rojas Noskov Kira
Published: July 2024

A pesar de que su influencia regional ha declinado con los años, Armenia sigue siendo un actor importante para las dinámicas en Eurasia sobre todo cuando se analiza desde la óptica del multilateralismo y las dinámicas de poder. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la crisis del multilateralismo en Eurasia a través de la comprensión del conflicto de Nagorno-Karabaj y como este puede generar no solo nuevos antagonismos como la intervención en baja escala de potencias occidentales o aumentar la influencia de ciertos actores como Azerbaiyán impulsado por el apoyo de Turquía, sino que también pueden aumentar las tensiones y rivalidades históricas que se han mantenido y, por ende, debilitar los procesos institucionales en la región. Para la consecución del objetivo planteado, se recurre a la metodología de estudio de caso, donde se analiza la particularidad de un fenómeno o evento desde múltiples perspectivas para lograr una comprensión detallada y explicar sus efectos.
En una primera sección, el texto estudia el contexto histórico, así como la actual situación de Armenia desde los conceptos de eurasianismo, multilateralismo, multipolarismo y regionalismo. A través del análisis de la geopolítica de la región, así como de los hechos históricos más relevantes se permite al lector entender las dinámicas de poder que se desdoblan en Eurasia a través de la gestión de los recursos naturales y la implementación de políticas exteriores contrastantes y convergentes al mismo tiempo. La segunda sección revisa los principales elementos del conflicto de Nagorno-Karabaj y los efectos que las acciones de setiembre de 2023 tienen sobre la gobernanza de la región euroasiática, la forma en la que concluyó el conflicto ocasionó cambios en las dinámicas regionales y sus efectos continúan viéndose en las relaciones entre los países del área. Del mismo modo el resultado ha provocado un desplazamiento masivo de personas lo que supone nuevos retos para los estados involucrados, en un contexto ya de por sí tenso por los acontecimientos mundiales. Además, este segundo apartado, analiza otros conflictos latentes que amenazan la estabilidad de la zona. Como corolario, se estudia el panorama para Armenia y se esbozan posibles escenarios ante el cambio en la balanza de poder de las potencias regionales.
Sustainable composting of vegetable waste, cow dung, grasses, and food wastes into soil amendment using starter culture and growth characteristics in guava plant
Authors: Arokiyaraj Selvaraj , Rajakrishnan Rajagopal , Flanetraj Subhanandaraj Russalamma
Published: July 2024

The study aim was to optimise the C/N ratio, improve the compost quality, reduce pathogenic bacteria load in the compost, and improve guava yield. Vegetable wastes were mixed with cow dung, grasses, and food wastes in ratios of 4:3:2:1 (w/w) for achieving a C/N ratio of approximately 37. Co-composting is an important strategy because the mixture of bulking agents can help achieve optimal composting conditions. Experimental results were obtained from a pilot-scale rotary drum reactor with forced aeration. In the reactor, the temperature increased during the thermophilic phase (58±2 °C) and decreased after 10 days (54±2 °C). The pH values moderately increased, then decreased, and were near to neutral after maturation. The results indicated that co-composting of bio-wastes at a C/N ratio of 37.6%±1.02% could be effectively decomposed to reduce the residuals to just 13.6%±1.05% after 28 days. The microbial population increased in both mesophilic and thermophilic stages and decreased at the end of the composting, reflecting stability. The stable compost was applied to the growth of guava plant, and the yield was calculated. The organic compost improved plant growth, fruit yield, and enriched phytochemical compounds in the fruit and peels. The phytochemical compounds improved antioxidant activity in the guava fruits.
Financial Crisis, Confidence in Financial Markets and Participation in Private Pension Plans in Germany
Authors: Brandt Ulrich , Zanker Dagmar , Frommert Dina
Published: July 2024

The financial crisis of 2008/2009 has not only left its mark on the value of retirement savings, but also on savings and investment behaviour. It has led to a loss of confidence in financial markets and its main protagonists. However, trust is a key mechanism for savings and investment decisions. We illustrate the loss of trust by looking at the number of pension plans purchased in the years following the financial crisis.
The paper is based on data of the study on ‘Life courses and old-age provisions’ (LeA, Lebensverläufe und Altersvorsorge). The data was gathered in 2016 and provides information on the life histories of people living in Germany who were born between 1957 and 1976, as well as on pension entitlements in all three pillars of the German pension system. The analysis concentrates on so-called Riester pension plans, the most dynamic private pension scheme in Germany. We estimate a panel fixed-effects logit model to examine whether the financial crisis had an impact on the participation in Riester pension plans. Results show that instead of a shock effect relating to the crisis years, we see a negative linear effect following the crisis.

Authors: Voytenko L.V. , Shcherbatiuk M.M. , Vasyuk V.A. , Kosakivska I.V.
Published: July 2024

The research is devoted to the study of the effect of chilling (+4 °C, 2 h) on cytokinin homeostasis in 14-day stressed and 21-day restored plants of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cv. “Podolyanka” and spelt wheat (Triticum spelta L.) cv. “Frankenkorn”. Our study revealed that chilling induces complex changes in the content and distribution of cytokinins in plants that are species- and organ-specifi c. After chilling, the total cytokinin content in the roots of winter wheat cv. “Podolyanka” increased threefold due to the accumulation of trans-zeatin-O-glucoside, trans-zeatin, isopentenyladenine and isopentenyladenosine. Stress did not aff ect trans-zeatin riboside accumulation in roots but induced a fourfold increase in its content in the shoots of winter wheat cv. “Podolyanka”. The total content of cytokinin in the roots of spelt wheat cv. “Frankenkorn” decreased by 1.4 times due to decline in trans-zeatin-O-glucoside and trans-zeatin riboside content, while in shoots, it decreased by 1.2 times owing to reduced trans-zeatin-O-glucoside and isopentenyladenine levels. Prolonged exposure to chilling was manifested by an increase in hormone levels in both 21-day-old species. Our data revealed common and distinct traits in cytokinin homeostasis between winter wheat cv. “Podolyanka” and spelt wheat cv. “Frankenkorn” during rapid adaptation and the recovery period, providing new insights into the response of these species to chilling.

Published: July 2024

Abstract. As Indonesia has recently completed its term in the chair position for 2023, a study is needed to determine the link between ASEAN's policy goals, agendas, and their outcomes as reflected by common communiques during Indonesia's chairmanship and Indonesian national policies and interests. Using a qualitative descriptive method, this study will examine two questions: firstly, how is Indonesia’s ASEAN chairmanship in 2023 influenced by its pre-existing national foreign policy doctrine, and secondly, how is it reflected in its policy outcomes as chairman of ASEAN? This study examines these questions in the lifht of the three main issues that ASEAN faced during Indonesia’s chairmanship in 2023: the conflict in Myanmar, the ASEAN bloc’s relations with China, Russia, and the US, particularly in the context of the South China Sea dispute and the war in Ukraine, and regional integration and inter-country connectivity within ASEAN. Finally, this study will examine how Indonesia has successfully utilized its ASEAN chairmanship to achieve its internal policies and amplify them to the regional and global stage.Keywords: ASEAN, Foreign Policy, Regional Integration, South China Sea, Indonesia, national interests.Abstrak.

Creativity Regime and Internship Practices on MBKM Policy
Authors: Salim Permata Mohamad
Published: July 2024

Abstract. The internship practice has become a regularity in responding to the interconnectedness of the labor market and education system in Indonesia. The Certified Internship and Independent Study Program (MSIB) is part of MBKM policies initiated by the Ministry of Education and Culture. It represents the state's position to capitalize on creativity discourse while continuing the connection between higher education and industry. Based on the literature review, this qualitative research provides an overview of the widespread phenomenon of internships. This research aims to explore the capacity of the creativity regime to exert hegemony through the MBKM policy that encourages internship practices. On one hand, internship programs play a role in making the educational ecosystem more open to new labor market challenges. However, students believe that without internships, their chances of finding employment after graduation are reduced. As a result, through the mechanisms of regulation and the activation of discourse within the creative regime, students have prioritized internships as spaces for exploring subjective experiences in realizing their authentic, engaging, and unique selves. By reflecting the characteristics of contemporary society as described by Andreas Reckwitz, which is a singularized society.Keywords: Creativity Regime, Singularization, Internship, MBKM program, MSIB, Reckwitz.Abstrak. Praktik magang telah menjadi regularitas baru dalam merespons keterkaitan antara pasar tenaga kerja dan sistem pendidikan di Indonesia. Program Magang Bersertifikat dan Studi Independen (MSIB) merupakan bagian dari Kebijakan Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) yang diinisiasi oleh Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan. Program ini mencerminkan posisi negara dalam memanfaatkan wacana kreativitas bersamaan dengan logika link and match antara pendidikan tinggi dan industri. Menggunakan studi literatur, penelitian kualitatif ini memberikan gambaran tentang fenomena magang yang tersebar luas. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengeksplorasi kapasitas rezim kreativitas dalam menciptakan hegemoni melalui kebijakan MBKM yang mendorong praktik magang. Di satu sisi, program magang berperan dalam membuka ekosistem pendidikan terhadap tantangan pasar tenaga kerja yang baru. Pada sisi lainnya, mahasiswa percaya bahwa tanpa magang peluang mereka untuk mendapatkan pekerjaan setelah lulus berkurang. Hasil dalam penelitian ini menunjukan melalui mekanisme regulasi dan aktivasi wacana dalam rezim kreativitas, mahasiswa telah memprioritaskan magang sebagai ruang eksplorasi pengalaman subjektif untuk mewujudkan diri mereka yang otentik, menarik, dan unik. Merefleksikan karakteristik masyarakat kontemporer sebagaimana yang dijelaskan oleh Andreas Reckwitz, yaitu masyarakat yang tersingularisasi.Kata Kunci: Rezim Kreativitas, Singularisasi, Magang, Program MBKM, MSIB, Reckwitz.
After RIPCORD 2, FAME 3, FLOWER-MI and FUTURE: Has the Pressure Wire had its Day?
Authors: Modi Bhavik , Dutta Subhabrata , Collison Damien , Lampadakis Ioannis , Sen Sayan
Published: July 2024

Recent years have seen the publication of several high-profile, negative trials about pressure wires. This has coincided with a consistent increase in the ratio of angioplasty for acute coronary syndromes versus percutaneous coronary intervention in stable coronary artery disease, a greater use of intracoronary imaging during percutaneous coronary intervention and the continued evolution of computational fluid dynamics-derived estimations of fractional flow reserve from both CT and invasive coronary angiography. Consequently, many interventional cardiologists now wonder if the pressure wire will soon become obsolete. This head-to-head article provides a critical appraisal of recent trial data, discusses a potential evolution in how pressure wires are used and debates the motion that the device (and by extension, invasive assessment of coronary physiology) has now had its day.
Diana J. Montaño. Electrifying Mexico. Technology and the Transformation of a Modern City. Austin: University of Texas Press, 2021. 392 páginas.
Authors: Fernández Huertas Juan Camilo
Published: July 2024

El libro de Diana Montaño —resultado de su tesis doctoral y reconocido en 2022 con el Alfred B. Thomas Book Awards del Southeaster Council of Latin Américan Studies— abre con la desaprobación de doña Candelaria a la iluminación eléctrica, alegando que se iba a enfermar de la vista, y con la aprobación del señor Gutiérrez a causa de sus elementos estéticos, en un diálogo extraído de Los fuereños de José Tomás de Cuéllar que permite a la autora plantear la tesis de que la introducción de la electricidad no fue percibida de manera monolítica, sino diferenciada. Para sustentar esta tesis, la autora recurre a diferentes fuentes, como literatura, prensa laica y católica, revistas científicas, decretos y acuerdos de las empresas de energía eléctrica y de la municipalidad, archivos judiciales, libros de cocina, revistas para mujeres y el periódico Lux del Sindicato Mexicano de Electricistas (SME). Este acerbo documental sirvió para analizar las experiencias que tuvieron los mexicanos desde 1880 con la introducción de la luz eléctrica en la Ciudad de México, hasta 1960, con la nacionalización del servicio eléctrico en el gobierno de López Mateos, lapso durante el cual la autora busca evidenciar las tensiones y también la aceptación que tuvo esta tecnología, que en algunos momentos fue apropiada por el discurso gubernamental y en otros también fue resignificada por las costumbres de los mexicanos.
Una guerrilla mexicana en la geografía global de la Guerra Fría. Las memorias transnacionales del Movimiento de Acción Revolucionaria
Authors: Confino Hernán Eduardo
Published: July 2024

Objetivo: analizar las memorias sobre el Movimiento de Acción Revolucionaria (MAR), guerrilla mexicana de las décadas de 1960 y 1970, que se produjeron con el inicio de la alternancia partidaria en México, desde el año 2000. El trabajo investiga la dimensión transnacional de estas memorias, analizando el lugar de la radicalización global de los años sesenta y setenta en estas elaboraciones. Metodología: lo anterior se realiza a partir de la indagación de los textos autobiográficos, los homenajes institucionales y los testimonios orales de una serie de exmiembros del MAR: Salvador Castañeda, Fernando Pineda Ochoa, María Elda Nevárez, Elia Hernández y Salvador Gaytán. El artículo dialoga con los aportes que el giro transnacional ha generado en el estudio de la elaboración social de los procesos de violencia del siglo XX y considera la movilidad supranacional de la memoria a partir de la circulación transcultural de relatos y prácticas. Originalidad: si bien en los últimos años ha avanzado notablemente la reconstrucción de la historia de las organizaciones armadas en México, no ha sucedido de igual modo con los estudios de las memorias contemporáneas de los exmilitantes. En este sentido, el presente artículo interroga la elaboración de la experiencia por parte de los militantes y por eso indaga en las intervenciones memoriales contemporáneas de los exparticipantes de la experiencia de radicalización política que contemplan la dimensión transnacional de la conflictividad política pretérita. Conclusiones: este estudio, en el caso del MAR, revela que la dimensión transnacional de las memorias asumió en las elaboraciones del presente siglo una disposición explicativa tendiente, primero, a visibilizar el surgimiento de las organizaciones insurgentes mexicanas en el marco del mapa más amplio de la efervescencia revolucionaria de las décadas de 1960 y 1970 y, luego, a justificar esta emergencia en esa misma dimensión supranacional.

Nos últimos anos, o Ensino Médio tornou-se alvo de intensos debates no campo educacional em decorrência da “reforma” imposta pela Lei 13.415/2017. Considerando as juventudes escolarizadas como um dos principais atores desse cenário, objetivou-se com a presente pesquisa investigar como vinha se dando a inserção de jovens de uma escola pública da rede estadual, localizada em Porto Alegre/RS, nas discussões sobre o “Novo” Ensino Médio. A investigação qualitativa, em formato de estudo de caso, produziu dados por meio da realização de um grupo focal com jovens estudantes do Ensino Médio Regular e membros do Grêmio Estudantil da escola em questão. Durante o diálogo, emergiram temas como trabalho, mobilidade urbana e saúde mental, destacando-se como elementos que marcam a condição juvenil dos participantes. Quanto ao “novo” modelo de ensino, no geral, o grupo expressa insatisfação, preocupando-se especialmente com o acesso ao Ensino Superior em seus projetos de vida e futuro. A discussão desenvolvida no texto e os resultados produzidos ao longo do grupo focal indicam que o “Novo” Ensino Médio pode ser interpretado como uma (anti)política para as juventudes escolarizadas.

El modelo instituto-escuela (CINE 0-2) se expande en Cataluña desde 2010 para prevenir el fracaso y el abandono escolar y facilitar la continuidad educativa en diversos contextos educativos. Mediante el uso de las evaluaciones externas de sistema de final de etapa (6º de Educación Primaria y 4º de Educación Secundaria), elaboradas por el Consell Superior d’Avaluació del Sistema Educatiu de Cataluña, se diseña una investigación comparativa que combina el análisis transversal y longitudinal de los resultados con el objetivo de analizar la capacidad de los institutos-escuela de alta complejidad para mejorar los resultados académicos frente al modelo público no integrado (alumnado que transiciona de escuela pública a instituto público). Aunque el alumnado de institutos-escuela obtiene puntuaciones más bajas que el del modelo público no integrado, longitudinalmente, el alumnado de institutos-escuela mejora significativamente los resultados en lengua castellana y competencia científico-tecnológica al final de la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria respecto a la Educación Primaria. Se evidencia un efecto positivo en la disminución del porcentaje de alumnado que no adquiere las competencias básicas al final de la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria.

The study is devoted to the problem of differentiation of incomes of the population of Russia's regions. The goal of the work is to develop a methodology for analyzing the processes of differentiation of incomes of the population in Russia's regions based on the theory of dynamic systems and machine learning, and its testing on recent analytical data. The research hypothesis lies in the assumption of the simultaneous coexistence of processes of convergence and divergence of processes of differentiation of incomes of the population of Russia's regions, depending on external and internal factors. These processes are the subject of the research. The information base is the Federal State Statistics Service's data on the values of the Gini index of 80 regions for the period from 1995 to 2018. To construct experimental trajectories, in addition to the Gini index, two independent dynamic variables were used - its first and second derivatives, which made it possible to construct 3 different spaces of states (from one-dimensional to three-dimensional). Using the k-means clustering method, the entire observed set of states was divided into 5 clusters, the number of which was previously determined by the “elbow method” test. As a result of the calculations, the predominance of convergent processes over divergent ones during the studied period was proven. It was found that the individual trajectories of certain regions in the space of state differ significantly: the trajectories of some regions can be localized within only one cluster, while some parts of the trajectories of others can belong to up to 4 clusters. The majority of the trajectories are located within 2-3 clusters. The theoretical significance of the results obtained lies in deepening the understanding of the regional specifics of the dynamic changes in the differentiation of income of the population of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The practical significance of the research results lies in the expansion of instrumental support for decision-making in the implementation of the state policy in the field of regulating the differentiation of income of the population at the regional level.
Financial Contagion of the Commodity Markets from the Stock Market during Pandemic and New Sanctions Shocks

In the context of financial globalization, there is an increasing transmission of global turbulence between different markets, which enhances overall financial instability. The purpose of this study is to identify the financial contagion of the commodity market from the stock market in the 1920s. The research hypothesis is that contagion manifested itself during the period of pandemic shocks of 2020-2021 and new sanctions shocks of 2022-2023. Based on 2016-2023 data on the intersessional average daily return of the S&P GLOBAL 100 index and 22 commodity futures, DCC GARCH models are built. Significant increases in these correlations during periods of external shocks indicate potential contagion. A dynamic Student's t-test for the equality of correlations in the pre-shock period and in the sliding window within the shock and inter-shock periods is used to definitively prove the presence or absence of contagion. The study confirmed the contagion of 22 commodity markets from the stock market of varying strength and duration, both during the pandemic and new sanctions shocks. It proved that the metals market, especially the gold market, was the most susceptible to contagion during the period under review. Copper and zinc turned out to be risk dampers during the period of new sanctions. Among food products, the sugar market has demonstrated the greatest propensity to contagion, but during a period of relative stability it has proven its ability to mitigate systemic risks. A number of agricultural commodities (e.g., soybeans and soybean products, corn, wheat), as well as Brent oil, have shown relative resistance to contagion and are recommended as hedging tools. The results and conclusions of the study can be useful to investors in managing optimal portfolios, and to the state when adjusting anti-crisis financial policy during the period of external shocks affecting the economy.
AN APPRAISAL OF THE REGULATION OF DIGITAL BANKS IN NIGERIA

Published: July 2024

The advent of the computer age saw industries across the world hopping on the Information and Communications Technology train in a bid to survive. The financial industry is no exception, having since incorporated Information and Communications Technology in its operations. Traditional financial institutions like banks now utilize technology to render financial services to their customers. Aside the traditional banks, a new class of banks called digital banks has emerged in recent times in Nigeria, examples include Kuda, Aladdin, and VBank. These banks operate without a physical banking hall and render their services digitally. Although digital banks were not originally included in Nigerian laws, these banks now have the backing of the principal legislation regulating banks in Nigeria: the Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act 2020, hence solidifying their place in the Nigerian financial sector. With the aim of evaluating the effectiveness of the extant legal framework for digital banks in Nigeria, this paper explored the evolution of banking in Nigeria, the emergence of digital banks, the pros and cons of such banks as well as the existing legal framework for digital banks in Nigeria. The research methodology adopted is the doctrinal research methodology and primary sources like statutes, guidelines and case laws as well as secondary sources like textbooks and journals were utilized. The paper found that the existing legal framework for digital banks in Nigeria is fragmented and does not sufficiently address the uniqueness of these banks. It recommended the development of a comprehensive legal framework for digital banks in Nigeria, which incorporates a licensing regime solely for digital banks.
