Authors: Jesus Antonivaldo de , Montaño Marcelo , Jesus Valdirene Gomes dos Santos de
Published: November 2024

A Amazônia brasileira é reconhecida mundialmente pela sua diversidade social e ambiental. Tal condição direciona os olhos de empreendedores de diferentes segmentos econômicos para ela, destacando os do setor de produção de energia. No Brasil, o potencial hidrelétrico em outras regiões, principalmente as maiores consumidoras, está praticamente esgotado, tornando a Amazônia a nova fronteira na produção de energia hidrelétrica no país. Os projetos hidrelétricos implantados, em estudo e em implantação na região são recheados de controvérsias e de conflitos, notadamente na questão da ocupação do território e da interferência nos aspectos identitários das populações afetadas, sendo obrigadas a uma desterritorialização forçada ou compulsória. Nesta perspectiva, este trabalho teve como objetivos analisar e discutir os impactos ocasionados pelos aproveitamentos hidrelétricos junto às comunidades tradicionais na Amazônia. Para este estudo adotamos como pontos basilares e conceituais o território e a identidade pela significância dos mesmos a tais populações. Para atingir nossos objetivos, adotamos como procedimentos a pesquisa bibliográfica que trata dos conceitos abordados na pesquisa. Utilizamos ainda de dados e informações sobre os aproveitamentos hidrelétricos a partir do acesso às bases de periódicos, revistas eletrônicas, teses e dissertações. Em trabalho de campo, foram realizadas entrevistas, fotodocumentação, relatos orais e anotações em caderno de campo para explicitação da realidade. Os nossos resultados apontam que a desterritorialização forçada dos afetados interfere diretamente em sua identidade e de seu grupo denotando que o modelo adotado pelo Brasil para produzir energia precisa ser revisto de forma que sua aplicação não seja tão dramática para os afetados.

In Defense of Cultural Appropriation
Authors: Kershnar Stephen , Bray Nathan
Published: November 2024

Cultural appropriation occurs when an individual from one culture uses another culture's ideas. Often the ideas relate to artifacts, clothes, food, and symbols. Frequently, critics of cultural appropriation claim that it is a type of theft. The critics also claim that it disrespects minorities and also is similar to or involves colonialism. In this paper, we argue that it is neither wrong nor bad to culturally appropriate. It is not wrong because no one owns cultural symbols, not all cultural appropriation involves insult or ridicule, and it is unclear what makes something an instance of cultural appropriation. It is often not bad because a free market in cultural goods frequently maximizes the good.
The Terror of Maximum Pressure Sanctions
Authors: Moin Mehrzad Ali
Published: November 2024

Economic sanctions are often portrayed as peaceful alternatives to traditional warfare and have been distinguished from uses of force. This has the unfortunate effect of distracting us from the impact and nature of so-called maximum pressure sanction campaigns. This paper argues against this distinction by examining maximum pressure sanctions under several definitions of terrorism. Using the sanctions program against Iran as a case study, I begin with a consideration of the impact that sanctions have on ordinary citizens. Next, I weigh the nature of these sanctions against several accounts of terrorism, considering definitions of terrorism from Michael Walzer, Tamar Meisels, David Rodin, Eric Reitan, Joshua Glasgow, and Samuel Scheffler in order to show that sanctions can in fact escalate to terrorism—specifically, economic terrorism—under multiple definitions. In uncovering the terroristic aspects of sanctions that intentionally threaten the welfare, livelihoods, and lives of ordinary citizens, I call for a shift in our moral evaluations of this widely accepted practice.
Sounding Modern-nite: Tabaski in Senegal and the Sonic Production of the Human
Authors: Rowley Margaret Lynn
Published: November 2024

In Senegal, being human is essentially intertwined with listening and hearing, which are necessary for living in a coherent society. This article explores the sonic constitution of the human in Senegal through proverbs, stories, and ethnographic work that centers around the Islamic holiday of Tabaski (Eid al-Adha) in the urban capital of Dakar. As the city fills with the sounds of sheep, and then with the sounds of slaughter, this article asks how the human is crafted—as modern, sociable, and ethical—through the sonic.
Praise Singing, Proxemics, and the Feelingful Iconization of State Relations in Omani ‘Āzī
Authors: Garvey Bradford
Published: November 2024

I present an analysis of the feelingful performance of state relations in the Sultanate of Oman by tracking the proxemics of Arab men's dance and sung poetry practices in state festivals. The spatial performance of the ‘āzī, a processional choral ode, shifted from complete or “shoulder-to-shoulder” circles to semicircles to “face-to-face” lines of performers over the past fifty years. I argue that this shift in Omani dance proxemics feelingfully iconizes state centralization and relations of distributional governance over the same period, offering kinesthetic spatializations and visual images of this broader social phenomenon of political contact in synecdoche.
Apple Stack Cake as Folk Tradition, Myth, and Icon in the Construction of an Appalachian Cuisine
Authors: Long Lucy M.
Published: November 2024

Apple stack cake is a dessert made of multiple cookie-like layers sandwiched together with a sauce of cooked dried apples or apple butter. It is distinctive to the Southern Appalachian region, but ethnographic research suggests that it is not widespread, challenging a popular assumption of homogeneity of mountain food culture. Within those areas of use, it seems to be a folk tradition, passed down in families and occurring in variations reflecting local and individual resources, circumstances, and tastes. Cookbooks and food media oftentimes describe it as a communally made wedding cake reflecting poverty, giving the dish a mythic status reflecting values of community-mindedness and promoting a romanticized stereotype of Appalachian identity. The cake has also become popular in food media, businesses, and scholarship as iconic of traditional Appalachian cookery. These representations frame it as an Appalachian cuisine deserving of celebration and veneration. This rhetorical shift to cuisine opens up the regional food culture to gourmetization, heritagization, fetishization, and tourism, altering the position of Appalachia in the larger public imagination.
“That Secret Power Underground”: Samples of Mountaintop Removal as a Hyperobject in Strange as This Weather Has Been
Authors: Hedges Jennifer R.
Published: November 2024

Ann Pancake's 2007 novel Strange as This Weather Has Been depicts how a family living in Yellowroot, West Virginia, is impacted and influenced by the nonhuman effects produced by a mountaintop removal (MTR) mine located above their town. The effects ultimately led to the family's various displacements, both mentally and physically, thus illuminating a window into the planetary regimes of extraction and destruction occurring in Appalachian communities. In these contexts, this article explores new materialism and, specifically, Timothy Morton's concept of hyperobjects through which humans and nonhuman entities interact with and affect one another. I present a nontraditional analysis of human relationships as Pancake's characters interact with the mine, showing how its effects demonstrate the manner in which nonhuman entities hold power in shaping human surroundings and experiences.
Testing the Rejection-Identification Model in Appalachia
Authors: Baker Jessica , Gore Jonathan
Published: November 2024

The purpose of these two studies was to examine how perceived discrimination predicts personal and collective self-esteem among Appalachians through the Rejection-Identification Model (RIM). Participants (n  = 197 in Study 1, n  = 384 in Study 2) were undergraduate students from a university in Central Appalachia who completed several questionnaires in an online survey that assessed the various aspects of RIM on individual and collective well-being. In Study 1, perceived discrimination was assessed by noting the likelihood of discrimination in hypothetical scenarios, whereas in Study 2, perceived discrimination was assessed as the frequency of firsthand experiences across a variety of discriminatory behaviors from others. The results demonstrated that when Appalachians experience discrimination, it relates directly to a decrease in their psychological well-being, but it also has an indirect positive effect through heightened identification with their ingroup. This was especially pronounced among those experiencing firsthand discrimination and those living in non-rural areas. In contrast to the RIM, there was no evidence that heightened internalization of stereotypical characteristics was related to well-being.

Published: November 2024

With an average annual intake of almost 20 kilograms per person, tomatoes are the most consumed vegetable worldwide. Diseases brought on by dangerous organisms are among the most important factors adversely affecting tomato production's output and quality. Depending on the climate and environmental conditions, tomatoes can be afflicted by a variety of illnesses throughout the planting and growing phases. It is essential for tomato growers to identify possible infections and take the appropriate preventative measures. Applications of artificial intelligence have grown in popularity recently. AI is being used in agriculture to identify plant illnesses. This research uses deep learning, a branch of artificial intelligence, to categories common tomato diseases. In the beginning, samples of frequently seen tomato illnesses were gathered from tomato growers in Kirkuk. Once there were enough data, the system developed with image processing algorithms produced meaningful images. Using a CNN-based GoogleNet deep learning system, the resulting dataset was trained and diseases were classified. The results show that the deep learning system that was constructed has a high degree of success and dependability when it comes to tomato disease classification.

Authors: Ojurongbe Samuel Ayodele
Published: November 2024

The study reiterates the need to differentiate a policy document by verifying the issues it is concerned with. Specifically, it underscores the critical need to pay attention to the real issues of development in a development -centered policy document, and ascertaining if the policy document facilitates the planning and implementation of development programs that meet the needs of the people. To justify this assertion, the paper conducts a critical review of the Development Agenda for Western Nigeria, DAWN, with a view to knowing the substantive information and material in the policy in relation to the policy document in terms of the nine pillars of the document. Among other factors, It sought to know how the concept of Development is constructed in the document in terms of related theory as well as whether it was motivated by a traditional paradigm of technocratic, money driven, top -down approach to development, or by a commitment to the participatory approach. The study observes that the drafters of the document understand and place a high premium on the central role of policy content especially in the sustainable development document. However, it was observed that no visible attempt was made to enshrine clauses and other salient provisions to enforce continuity, accountability, transparency and probity in the document.

The network on the Automatic Teller Machine currently uses a VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) network based on Geostationary Satellites. VSAT networks often experience problems such as UP-DOWN or total DOWN. Some of the problems that cause interruptions on the VSAT interconnection include the usage period of the Modem electronic device and also ODU (Outdoor Unit) devices such as RFU, LNB, and BUC, ODU devices have a transmit period and also a received period that is uncertain according to the voltage at the location. Problems with the VSAT interconnection system cause ATM services to become unusable, resulting in losses for the bank's profits. In addition, the repair process is also generally quite time-consuming.  The purpose of this study is to design an inexpensive ATM backup network solution so that when there is a break/disruption in the VSAT network the service on the ATM is not interrupted and in terms of operational costs does not swell. The backup network is intended to back up the satellite-based leading network automatically so that ATM services are always available when the satellite-based network is interrupted. The result of the study is that the proposed solution can resolve service outages at ATM machines in 34 seconds. The ATM network system will experience disconnection before finally reconnecting through the backup network. The proposed solution is much cheaper than the VSAT-based failover network solution, as it is based on the public internet network.

Published: November 2024

Jälkiteollisten yhteiskuntien kulttuuri on osoittautunut monin tavoin kestämättömäksi: ilmastonmuutos, luonnonvarojen ylikulutus, väkivaltaiset konfliktit ja sosiaalinen eriarvoisuus muodostavat uhkaavan dystopian, mikä saa ihmiset toivottomiksi ja näköalattomiksi tulevaisuuden suhteen. Monimutkaisten ekososiaalisten kriisien keskellä on tärkeää pohtia taidekasvatuksen roolia kasvatuksellisellisena ja yhteiskunnallisena voimavarana. Taidekasvatus ei ole yhteiskunnan muista sektoreista irrallaan, vaan se on aina sidoksissa laajempiin kulttuurisiin ja poliittisiin konteksteihin. Toisin sanoen taidekasvatus ei koskaan voi olla olla neutraalia, vaan se osallistuu valinnoillaan joko yhteiskunnassa vallitsevien arvojen ja käytäntöjen vahvistamiseen tai niiden haastamiseen ja muokkaamiseen. Tämä teemanumero, Taide ja toiveikas tulevaisuus, kokoaa yhteen vuoden 2023 Kasvatustieteen päivien Taide- ja taitokasvatuksen tutkimuksen verkoston teemaryhmässä esiteltyjä tutkimuksia, keskittyen erityisesti taidekasvatuksen merkitykseen tulevaisuuden toivon rakentajana.

Published: November 2024

In the context of classroom-based learning, the majority of students tend to acquire cognitive knowledge. It is essential for students to not only acquire cognitive knowledge but also develop awareness of sustainability as a result of teaching and learning activities. The purpose of this study was to develop an instrument to measure sustainability awareness among high school students. Developing an instrument of sustainability awareness for students is important to measure and encourage their understanding and actions in preserving the environment sustainably. The instrument developed consists of three subdimensions: economy, society, and environment. This instrument assesses awareness of the concept of sustainable development and practices, attitudes, and moral values ​​for sustainability at the individual level. This study used the Rasch modeling analysis technique. The instrument is a closed questionnaire containing 21 items using a 4-point Likert scale. The results of the Rasch modeling showed that the overall Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was in the "good" category, while the item reliability coefficient was in the "very good" category. However, the student reliability coefficient was in the "weak" category. The results of the instrument validity test showed four invalid items. These items showed ZSTD and Pt Mean Corr values ​​that did not meet the established criteria. However, the existence of invalid instrument items and weak student reliability coefficients did not affect the overall quality of the instrument. Therefore, it can be concluded that the developed instrument is considered appropriate for measuring the sustainability awareness profile of students.

Rhododendron luteum is a deciduous shrub that has become widespread in landscape gardening due to its high decorative qualities. Rh. luteum was attracted to the Botanical Garden of the Institute of Biology of the Komi Scientific Center of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences as five-year-old seedlings in 2008 from the Botanical Garden-Institute of the Volga Region State Technological University (Yoshkar-Ola). It was found that in the conditions of the middle taiga subzone of the Komi Republic, the propagation of Rh. luteum by both seed and vegetative means is difficult due to the irregular formation of fertile seeds and weak linear growth of shoots. However, given the high decorative qualities of Rh. luteum in combination with its sufficient unpretentiousness to growing conditions, it seems relevant to continue developing methods for its reproduction in the conditions of the North. Therefore, it was advisable to evaluate the regenerative capacity of Rh. luteum in vitro culture. At the stage of actual micropropagation of Rh. luteum under the influence of thidiazuron during 6 passages active proliferation of buds and regeneration of shoots was observed, with an unchanged type of organogenesis (activation of meristems). Elongation of shoots was achieved on hormone-free Anderson medium. As a result of assessing the effect of two modified nutrient media (Anderson and WPM) on morphogenesis, it was shown that both nutrient media have a positive effect on the growth and development rates of shoots. The highest multiplication coefficient was obtained on the modified Anderson medium in the presence of BAP 0.5 + IAA 0.5 mg/l after the action of thidiazuron.

In the world wars of the 20th century, artillery became the branch of the armed forces whose actions inflicted the greatest damage on the enemy. During the Great Patriotic War, the specific weight and significance of the Soviet artillery of the Supreme High Command Reserve grew continuously, solving not only tactical but also operational combat tasks and, during the third period of the war, ensuring a breakthrough of the enemy defense in the offensive operations of the Red Army. The first European country liberated by Soviet troops was Romania. The main role in this was played by the troops of the 2nd Ukrainian Front, which in March–October 1944 carried out the Uman-Botoşani, Jassy-Kishinev, Bucharest-Arad and Debrecen offensive operations. They included the 11th artillery division of the Supreme High Command Reserve, which was operationally subordinate first to the 7th Guards and then to the 27th Army. The combat actions of the soldiers and officers of the 11th Artillery Division were distinguished by skill, courage and high efficiency. During the Jassy-Kishinev Operation, the fire of their guns crushed the Romanian defense and ensured its rapid breakthrough by infantry and tanks. The 11th Artillery Division acted just as effectively in defense during the September battles in Northern Transylvania during the Bucharest-Arad Operation. In both defensive and offensive combat actions during all four operations of the 2nd Ukrainian Front, which resulted in the complete liberation of Romania from the Nazis, the 11th Artillery Division of the Supreme High Command Reserve demonstrated firepower and high maneuverability, thereby making a significant contribution to the success of the front's troops.

The terrorist attack that took place in New York on September 11, 2001 and led to thousands of deaths at the beginning of the 21st century, changed diplomatic relations between countries around the world, as well as changed relations with the Arab people in the United States of America. The United States needed to take measures to control the Arab population both in America and around the world. Members of the U.S. House of Representatives presented measures to counter terrorists, such as banning the sale of weapons to countries harboring terrorists, catching and punishing criminals, and establishing friendly relations with Russia and China. The article analyzes these measures, as well as the FBI's activities in relation to the Arab diaspora in the United States after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Separately, the author considered the interaction of the United States of America and Russia in the issue of deterring terrorism in the world. In the article, the author reviewed the following materials: the archives of the George W. Bush administration, the FBI archives, the archives of the New York Police Department, as well as the assessment of diplomats, sociologists, historians, anthropologists of the United States of America, who were eyewitnesses and unwitting observers of the ongoing processes in the world.
