How Might Socio-Economic Aspects Impact the Settlement Patterns of Haitians and Jamaicans in U.S. Cities? Focus on New York and Miami Metropolitan Areas
Authors: Alov Ivan N. , Petrović Marko D.
Published: February 2025

The topic of the mosaic patterns of the settlement of ethnic minorities in US cities has been studied in depth. Many works proceed from the optics of studying inequality, which, in the American context, is often explained by overlapping patterns of ethnoracial discrimination. In this regard, groups at the intersection of inequality patterns are of great interest—for example, non-white immigrants and their descendants. This article analyzes the settlement of two such groups—Haitians and Jamaicans—at the state, county, and census tract levels in the two main population centers for the following two groups: New York and Miami metropolitan areas. The authors pose the question of whether Haitians and Jamaicans fundamentally differ from African Americans in terms of settlement patterns and socio-economic status. It is established that these two population groups are highly concentrated on a nationwide scale (in the states of Florida and New York) and in some counties (comprising metropolitan areas of New York and Miami). The authors carried out a spatial correlation (LISA) analysis to identify areas of concentration of Haitians and Jamaicans in the two above-mentioned metropolitan areas. Three distinct Haitian areas, three mixed Haitian/Jamaican, and one distinct Jamaican area are found in New York. In the Miami metropolitan area, three mixed Haitian/Jamaican areas are identified, as well as one Haitian area. Calculation of the Darden–Kamel Composite Socio-Economic Index was used to assess the socio-economic status of these areas and to compare it with that in the areas of concentration of African Americans. The analysis revealed that the areas of concentration of Haitians and Jamaicans are relatively disadvantaged in their socio-economic status, but to a lesser extent than those of African Americans. The study also established the following pattern: in the New York metropolitan area, the higher socio-economic status is a feature of the mixed Haitian/Jamaican areas of concentration in the central city, while in Miami, the higher socio-economic status is observed in the Jamaican areas in the suburbs. Beyond these empirical findings, this article offers a contextual perspective on inequality among non-white migrant groups as they settle near established African American communities. The novelty of our approach to the research problem relates to the idea that communities of African Americans, Haitians, and Jamaicans are quite variable in time and space—in particular, due to the non-simultaneous settlement of these groups in the metropolitan areas under consideration. Our most important conclusion is the discovery of the relationship between the stage of the beginning of the integration of the groups considered into urban communities and their socio-economic status at that moment. The later the group began integration, the fewer discriminatory practices it had to face, which led to a higher socio-economic status.
A Retrospective Analysis of Clinical and Epidemiological Aspects of Parvovirus B19 in Brazil: A Hidden and Neglected Virus Among Immunocompetent and Immunocompromised Individuals
Authors: Alves Arthur Daniel Rocha , Amado Luciane Almeida
Published: February 2025

Parvovirus B19 (B19V) infection can affect individuals of all ages, both immunocompetent and immunocompromised. This infection is typically acute and self-limiting, most commonly resulting in rash diseases and acute febrile illness. However, its involvement in atypical manifestations such as chronic kidney disease and acute liver failure have also been reported. Diagnosis of B19V is rarely conducted in these populations, and available studies on its prevalence are limited, outdated, and do not accurately depict the current situation. This study describes and discusses retrospective investigations into the role of B19V in cases of rash diseases, acute febrile illness, anemia, occurring in the context of chronic kidney disease and HIV coinfection, and acute liver failure when no identifiable etiological agent was found, focusing on various populations in Brazil. This overview underscores the importance of recognizing the potential for severe B19V infection in all individuals, regardless of perceived immune status, as well as of considering the possibility of B19V concurrent infection, in both high-risk groups and healthy individuals to reduce the risk of serious complications and improve patient outcomes, by considering the inclusion of B19V in the routine of diagnosis and implementing management strategies. This study was limited by the absence of national surveillance data of B19V in Brazil and by the analyses that occurred retrospectively.

Most studies analyzing data from patients who experienced at least one episode of acute COVID-19 infection have attributed the cascade of immediate and late complications to disruption of the inflammatory system and neutrophil activity in particular. Among the various functions of neutrophils is the release of pro-inflammatory mediators, including interleukin-6 (IL-6). Oxidative stress induced by pro-inflammatory mediators secreted by neutrophils leads to vascular endothelial dysfunction. Neutrophil counts and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) are directly associated with COVID-19 patient survival, with higher values correlating with increased mortality. To assess endothelial dysfunction secondary to COVID-19 infection, we conducted a retrospective study involving two patient cohorts, each comprising 99 participants: one group with a history of COVID-19 infection and another without. The study aimed to demonstrate the presence of endothelial dysfunction in patients with moderate COVID-19 infection using flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) of the brachial artery and to evaluate its correlation with key inflammatory markers (erythrocyte sedimentation rate—ESR, fibrinogen, NLR, IL-6). FMD values were significantly reduced (p < 0.0001) in post-COVID-19 patients compared to those without prior infection. ESR (p < 0.0001), fibrinogen (p < 0.0001), C-reactive protein (CRP) (p < 0.0001), leukocyte count (p < 0.0001), and granulocyte count (p < 0.0001) were inversely correlated with FMD values. Among post-COVID-19 patients, all analyzed parameters demonstrated a statistically significant impact on FMD, with ESR showing the strongest effect, accounting for nearly 63% of the dependency. ANOVA testing confirmed an inverse association between NLR quartiles and FMD, as well as between IL-6 levels and FMD. In conclusion, this study highlights the presence of endothelial dysfunction in post-COVID-19 patients, as assessed by FMD, and demonstrates statistically significant inverse correlations between FMD values, IL-6 levels, and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio.

Published: February 2025

Background/Objective: Vaccines administered during early childhood rely on caregivers being aware, willing, and able to vaccinate their child. Postpartum depression (PPD) could adversely affect a parent’s ability to undertake such preventive care. This systematic review sought to examine the relationship between PPD and timely vaccination in children. Methods: We systematically searched eight databases (MEDLINE ALL, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, LILACS, Web of Science, Sociological Abstracts, and Scopus) from database inception to September 2023. We also reviewed reference lists of included studies. We included primary studies that examined the association between PPD and child vaccination status between birth and 24 months. Two researchers independently extracted data and assessed study quality. Results: In total, 5504 records were screened for eligibility. Of the 50 articles included in full-text assessment, 12 met the eligibility criteria. Most studies (83%) were conducted in high-income countries, with a minority (17%) from lower-middle income countries (LMICs). The sample size of studies varied from <500 (33%) to >450,000 participants (17%). Overall, six studies (50%) found a relationship between maternal PPD and child vaccinations not completed on time, and six (50%) found no relationship. In most studies that were assessed to be of high-quality and found a relationship, the magnitude of the absolute risk was small. Conclusions: We detected significant heterogeneity among the included studies. Further high-quality research using standardized definitions is needed to determine whether parents with PPD may require tailored strategies and supports that consider their symptoms and specific barriers to vaccination.

Background/Objectives: Environmental enrichment (EE) devices are required in various countries and markets to promote animal welfare, with dual-purpose devices more likely to encourage adoption. We developed an EE device that allows pigs to self-administer liquids, designed to align with natural and play behaviors, and utilized a maternal pheromone (MP) to attract pigs to the device. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of this device in delivering vaccines for Erysipelas, Ileitis, Mycoplasma, and Influenza to growing pigs. Methods: Pigs were assigned to three treatments groups: Control (unvaccinated), Hand-Vaccinated (via oral gavage or intramuscular injection), and Self-Vaccinated using the EE device. Baseline samples were collected to determine initial antibody status, and serum and oral fluids’ IgG and IgA levels were measured post-vaccination to assess immune response. Four studies were conducted with 36 pigs (12 per treatment) over a 49-day period. Results: Self-vaccination pigs receiving the avirulent live Erysipelas vaccine developed oral and serum antibodies comparable to Hand-Vaccinated pigs. Pigs self-administering the avirulent live Lawsonia intracelluaris vaccine developed oral fluid antibodies. In contrast, pigs who received Mycoplasma or Influenza vaccines through self-vaccination exhibited significantly lower antibody levels compared to the Hand-Vaccinated group. Conclusions: These findings demonstrated that self-vaccination using EE devices for the oral administration of avirulent live vaccines offers benefits such as reduced labor and improved animal welfare. However, killed vaccines did not elicit sufficient antibody responses, suggesting the need for modified vaccine formulations or administration strategies to improve self-vaccination efficacy.

This research explores the distribution, transport, and deposition of calcium carbonate particles in the colorful pools of the Huanglong area under varying hydrodynamic conditions. The study employs Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) for real-time measurements of flow field velocity and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to analyze particle behavior. The findings reveal that under horizontal flow conditions, the peak concentration of calcium carbonate escalated to 1.06%, representing a 6% surge compared to the inlet concentration. Significantly, particle aggregation and settling were predominantly noted at the bottom right of the flow channel, where the flow boundary layer is most pronounced. In the context of inclined surfaces equipped with a baffle, a substantial rise in calcium carbonate concentrations was detected at the channel’s bottom right and behind the baffle, particularly in regions characterized by reduced flow velocities. These low-velocity areas, along with the interaction of the boundary layer and low-speed vortices, led to a decrease in particle velocities, thereby enhancing deposition. The highest concentrations of calcium carbonate particles were found in regions characterized by thicker boundary layers, particularly in locations before and after the baffle. Using the Discrete Phase Model (DPM 22), the study tracked the trajectories of 2424 particles, of which 2415 exited the computational channel and nine underwent deposition. The overall deposition rate was measured at 0.371%, with calcium carbonate deposition rates ranging from 4.06 mm/a to 81.7 mm/a, closely matching field observations. These findings provide valuable insights into the dynamics of particle transport in aquatic environments and elucidate the factors influencing sedimentation processes.

Authors: Cai Yixiong
Published: February 2025

Freshwater shrimps of the family Atyidae of New Guinea, including those from the Indonesian province of Papua, the Aru Islands, and the country of Papua New Guinea, are reviewed. A taxonomic synopsis is given to the 35 species identified so far, including two new species, namely Caridina iriana and C. yapenensis. Six species are recorded for the first time from New Guinea, namely Caridina mertoni, C. neglecta, C. brevicarpalis, C. endehensis, C. appendiculata, and C. cf. sikipozo. Seven landlocked species are found to be endemic to New Guinea, namely C. demani, C. cognata, C. fecunda, C. rouxi, C. buergersi C. elisabethae, and Parisia holthuisi. Biogeographically, apart from 11 species endemic to New Guinea, the majority of the amphidromous atyid shrimp species are found to be either restricted to the Island Chain of West Pacific (8 species) or restricted to the Indo-Australian Archipelago region, with New Guinea/Solomon Islands being the eastern and India/Sri Lanka being the western limits of their ranges (8 species), and five are restricted to the West Pacific, with Sulawesi/Philippines their western limit. Only three species are widely distributed in the Indo-West Pacific region. Descriptions/diagnoses for the new, taxonomically important or poorly known species, taxonomic discussions, habitat and distribution information for all species are presented.
Experimental Study on Infiltration Characteristics of Shallow Rainwater in Expansive Soil Slopes at Different Gradients
Authors: Shen Quan , Zhang Yidan , Yan Yuan , Dong Hongyuan , Lei Wenkai
Published: February 2025

Expansive soils are widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions and are highly sensitive to moisture variations, posing significant challenges to slope stability. Rainfall infiltration alters the hydro-mechanical behavior of expansive soils, increasing the risk of landslides and slope failures. Understanding the infiltration dynamics under different slope conditions is therefore essential for improving slope stability management and disaster mitigation. To investigate the mechanisms governing the long-term stability of steep expansive soil slopes, this study designed and constructed a multi-slope combination model test box. Model experiments were conducted on rainfall-induced expansive soil slopes with varying gradients to analyze the interaction between surface runoff and seepage under different rainfall conditions. The results demonstrate that slope gradient plays a crucial role in the rainfall infiltration process. As the slope gradient decreases, the time required for runoff initiation increases, and rainfall infiltration becomes the dominant process, while runoff plays a secondary role. This effect is more pronounced at lower slope gradients. Furthermore, as the slope gradient increases, the variation in soil moisture content decreases, and the influence of rainfall on deeper soil layers is reduced. Beyond a certain threshold, further increases in slope angle result in a diminished effect on enhancing surface runoff and limiting infiltration. Additionally, steeper slopes exhibit a slower rise in soil moisture content during rainfall events. The results also indicate that as the slope gradient increases, the depth of soil affected by rainfall becomes shallower, and the migration speed of the wetting front decreases. The findings of this study provide valuable insights into slope hydrodynamics and serve as a scientific basis for sustainable slope management and soil conservation in expansive soil regions.

Published: February 2025

Deep mining in metal mines faces more and more complex geological conditions, such as “three highs and one disturbance” (high ground stress, high permeability, high temperature, and mining-induced disturbance), which can easily trigger water inrush disasters and seriously affect the safety and efficiency of deep mining. This paper focuses on the deep hydrogeological structural characteristics of the Huize lead–zinc mine. Firstly, two main factors affecting the production safety of the mining area, namely the water source and water channel of the mine, were analyzed. Based on this analysis, nine factors were determined as indicators for the risk assessment of water inrush, including the water head difference, water-bearing capacity, permeability coefficient, aquifer thickness, water pressure, fault type, fault scale, fault water conductivity, and karst zoning characteristics. Then, a water inrush risk assessment model for the deep mine was constructed, and the weights of the individual factors were determined using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and entropy weight method (EWM). Combined with the multi-factor spatial fitting function of the GIS, a zoning map of the risk assessment of water inrush was developed. The results showed that the aquifer groups of the Permian Liangshan Formation and the Carboniferous Maping Formation (P1l + C3m) were relatively safe, whereas the karst fissure aquifer of the Qixia–Maokou Formation (P1q + m) posed a high risk of water inrush, necessitating advanced exploration and water drainage in the area. These findings provide guidance for water control measures in the Huize lead–zinc mine and offer valuable insights into the prediction and prevention of mine water hazards associated with ore body mining in karst aquifers.
A Newly Developed Approach for Analyzing the Degradation of Glyphosate and Aminomethylphosphonic Acid in Different Salinity Levels
Authors: Chang Lai-Chuan , Liao Zhen-Hao , Nan Fan-Hua
Published: February 2025

The report for the global presence of herbicide glyphosate and its metabolite aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) is presently limited in the marine environment, presumably due to a lack of analytical methods capable of detecting these compounds at low concentrations in high-salinity matrices. In the present study, we aimed to develop a time-saving and reliable method for the analysis of glyphosate and AMPA in different salinity levels of seawater. This novel method integrates a derivatization process with a solid-phase extraction cleanup step to mitigate salt-matrix effects during high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry analysis. The present method was validated in environmental freshwater and seawater with the limit of quantitation of 2 and 0.5 ng/mL and coefficient of variation percentage of 0.63–3.15% and 0.59–3.07% for glyphosate and AMPA, respectively. The degradations of three concentrations of spiked glyphosate (10, 100, 1000 mg/L) were assessed under two treatment conditions: with and without sterilization and at three salinity levels (0, 17.5, 35‰) over a period of 112 days. The results show that glyphosate degradation is significantly higher in non-sterilized water compared to sterilized conditions, indicating that microbial activity is the primary driver of degradation. Furthermore, brackish water appears to provide a more favorable environment for the microbial biodegradation of glyphosate.

Published: February 2025

The Tidal River Management (TRM) approach plays a significant role in enhancing diversified services of the ecosystem in the ecosystem of rivers affected by tides and their floodplains and reducing coastal hazards in southwest Bangladesh. The main aim of this investigation was to complete the development of the Sustainability Index for Tidal River Management (SITRM) and to assess the sustainability of TRM in coastal regions. In the first stage, the key components along with indicators of the Sustainability Index of TRM were identified to address problems of the coast. In the second stage of this study, a five-point Likert scale was applied to gather responses from key informants. In addition, it includes direct field observations and consultation meetings to collect information concerning the SITRM indicators. The results showed that the framework of SITRM included several important indicators to solve coastal problems, including drainage congestion, waterlogging, rising sea levels, new land formation, compensation, alternative livelihoods, and terrestrial biodiversity as indicators. It also established standard tidal flow thresholds for the Hari–Teka River at 600 m3/s (maximum) and 250 m3/s (minimum) for high tide and 550 m3/s (maximum) and 200 m3/s (minimum) for low tide. Moreover, the results showed that the Canadian Water Sustainability Index (CWSI), West Java Water Sustainability Index (WJWSI), and Water Poverty Index (WPI) are suitable for overcoming coastal problems and climate change issues.
Analysis of Carbon Density Distribution Characteristics in Urban Wetland Ecosystems: A Case Study of Shanghai Fish and Dishui Lake
Authors: Wang Jin , Yu Jingren , Shen Manjuan , Che Shengquan
Published: February 2025

This paper examines two major artificial wetlands in Shanghai—Shanghai Fish and Dishui Lake—as case studies to explore the biomass, carbon content, carbon density, and carbon sequestration functions of wetland plants in urban ecosystems. Through field sampling and elemental analysis of 20 common wetland plant species, this study investigated the differences in aboveground and underground biomass and carbon storage capacity across different plant types. The results indicated that emergent plants have the highest carbon storage capacities, with species such as Cyperus involucratus, Arundo donax, Phragmites australis, and Nelumbo sp. exhibiting higher carbon densities, while floating plants demonstrated relatively weaker carbon storage capacity. The carbon content varied significantly between different parts and species of plants, while soil carbon density was much higher than that of the plant portions, highlighting the crucial role of soil in wetland carbon sequestration. Additionally, an inversion model for wetland plant carbon density was established, and remote sensing data were used to assess the vegetation distribution characteristics and carbon density variations in the two artificial wetlands. This distribution pattern reflects the influence of wetland vegetation and water level (which affect water availability and nutrient distribution) on carbon density. The results showed a significant increase in carbon density from 2018 to 2023, particularly in lakeshore areas, suggesting that wetland ecological restoration and management measures have achieved positive outcomes, including a measurable increase in carbon density and enhanced vegetation coverage. The findings are significant for understanding and enhancing the carbon sequestration potential of artificial wetlands in urban ecosystems.
Unraveling the Characteristics of the Inter-Station Daily Rainfall Field in the Plain Regions of Eastern China Under Monsoon Climate
Authors: Yan Zhongyue , Li Changyan , Hu Yangcheng
Published: February 2025

This study examined the characteristics of rainfall fields in a monsoon climate using seven years of daily rainfall data from 95 stations in eastern China. The stations were located in a region with a flat, low-lying topography, covering approximately 250 km by 150 km. The spatial and temporal properties of the rainfall fields were analyzed from three perspectives: time scales, spatial distance, and direction. Multiple linear regression was applied to explore linear relationships and predict rainfall amounts at selected sites, considering six time scales: 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, and 15 days. The analysis assumed isotropy when examining the distance–decay in the correlation field. The results showed that the distance–decay of the correlation coefficient followed an exponential pattern, with decay rates decreasing as time scales increased. Spatially, north–south variations were more pronounced than east–west variations, and the correlation extended further in latitude than in longitude, highlighting spatial heterogeneity. The correlation coefficient in the wet season was smaller than for the entire year due to dry days and rainfall variability. Additionally, a multi-site linear model was used to interpolate missing rainfall data. The analysis revealed that the goodness of fit improved over longer time scales. Nevertheless, it was also observed that the error ratio simultaneously increased. This implies that when applying distance-weighted interpolation methods, one must exercise due caution.

Published: February 2025

Heavy rainfall significantly impacts agriculture by damaging crops and causing substantial economic losses. The Paravanar River Basin, a coastal river basin in India, experiences heavy rainfall during the monsoon season. This study analyzed both ground-level rainfall measurements and farmers’ experiences to understand the effects of heavy rainfall on agriculture. Rainfall data from nine rain gauge locations were analyzed across three cropping seasons: Kharif 1 (June to August), Kharif 2 (September to November), and Rabi (December to May). To determine the frequency of heavy rainfall events, a detailed analysis was conducted based on the standards set by the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Villages near stations showing increasing rainfall trends and a higher frequency of heavy rainfall events were classified as vulnerable. The primary crops cultivated in these vulnerable areas were identified through a questionnaire survey with local farmers. A detailed analysis of these crops was conducted to determine the cropping season most affected by heavy rainfall events. The impacts of heavy rainfall on the primary crops were assessed using the Delphi technique, a score-based crop risk assessment method. These impacts were categorized into eight distinct types. Among them, yield reduction, waterlogging, crop damage, soil erosion, and crop failure emerged as the most significant challenges in the study area. Additional impacts included nutrient loss, disrupted microbial activity, and disease outbreaks. Based on this evaluation, risks were classified into five categories: low risk, moderate risk, high risk, very high risk, and extreme risk. This categorization offers a framework for understanding potential consequences and making informed decisions. To address these challenges, the study recommended mitigation measures such as crop management, soil management, and drainage management. Farmers were also encouraged to conduct a cause-and-effect analysis. This bottom-up approach raised awareness among farmers and provided practical solutions to reduce crop losses and mitigate the effects of heavy rainfall.

Published: February 2025

The pursuit of a distinction between “culture” and “nature” is a staple of Western thought since Antiquity. The intellectual endeavor of the Enlightenment accelerates these efforts in its attempt to make the natural world completely cognizable and reducible to human intellect. The Second World War is a fundamental watershed event where one can observe the crisis of this model of thought. In this sense, this article proposes an investigation of two models that reduce nature to human cognition that are present in Anthony Doerr’s novel All the Light We Cannot See: the museum of natural history and the trigonometric formula. Departing from Huyssen’s (2014) notion of a “tamed nature” and Alberti’s (2008) critique of “nature behind glass”, it aims at illustrating how Doerr plays out, in the pages of his novel, the crisis of the Enlightened thought set in motion during the Second World War.
Filme-teatro, natureza e intermidialidade
Authors: Mattos Cristine Fickelscherer
Published: February 2025

Art allows us to glimpse aspects of the dialogue between man and nature and its projections on reality in different times and circumstances. The following reflection proposes to ponder on such aspects in the scope of audiovisual artistic manifestations in general and, more specifically, in the expression of works characterized by a certain conjunction of theatrical and filmic languages, which may be called "film-theater". Due to the conceptualization still in course regarding this conjunction between the stage and the camera, and the conceptual amplitude around the idea of nature, the analysis about the artistic projections of the man-nature dialogue is preceded by a discussion around the definition of "film-theatre" and a historical overview of the conceptions related to "nature".
Questões de leitura e de tradução em Double Oubli de l’Orang-Outang, de Hélène Cixous
Authors: Pimentel Davi Andrade
Published: February 2025

From the reading of the narrative Double Oubli de l’Orang-Outang, by Hélène Cixous, this article reflects upon three of the main constitutive characteristics of its fictional architecture, that, in its turn, constitutes the structural basis of a great part of the writer’s works. The three characteristics analyzed in this study are: the first one, a certain demand of Cixous’s writing for a translator-reader that is the key of the transformation of a book into a literary work; the second, the phantom of a possible interpretative untranslatability that arises both from the particularity of the fictional Cixous’s language and of its constant flow of direct and indirect quotations of other authors; and, the third, the rupture of limits between what is real and what is fictional that is directed to the neutral ground, both in terms of authorship and literary doing.

Authors: Bukhori Ahmad
Published: February 2025

Pesantren as a traditional educational institution plays an important role in shaping the character and personality of the younger generation. However, in order to remain relevant and high-quality in facing the challenges of the modern era, pesantren need to update and improve their quality management systems. This article proposes a Total Quality Management (TQM) approach as a framework for reconstructing the quality management of pesantren. Through this approach, pesantren can focus their efforts on serving the students, involve all members of the pesantren in continuous improvement, and ensure that every process runs efficiently and effectively. Core TQM concepts, such as organizational member participation, fact-based decision-making, and continuous improvement, are explained in the context of their implementation in pesantren. Practical steps for applying TQM in pesantren are also presented, including initial assessment, quality goal setting, training and development, and continuous evaluation. It is hoped that by adopting the TQM approach, pesantren can improve service quality, strengthen relationships with stakeholders, and ensure the long-term sustainability of the institution.

Pesantren sebagai contoh pendidikan Islam yang ada di Indonesia.. Pendidikan Pesantren mempunyai sejarah yang panjang, mempunyai kultur yang mengedepankan nilai keislaman, metode Pendidikan yang diterapkan, serta sebagai media dakwah. Pesantren di era modern ini tidak hanya terfokus pada pendidikan yang kultural saja, tapi merambah ke pendidikan sains, teknologi, serta ekonomi. Kemajuan Pesantren saat ini sesuai dengan visi kiri islam Hasan Hanafi yang mengedepankan pembaruan ilmu pengetahuan yang tidak hanya terfokus pada kajian ilmu tradisonal saja tetapi Pesantren juga mengkaji keilmuman yang eksis di Indonesia dan tetap menjalankan pendidikan formal yang disediakan oleh pemerintah ataupun pihak Persantren sendiri. Umat Islam saat ini mengalami kemunduran dalam ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi, umat Islam hanya menikmati produk teknologi yang dibuat oleh masyarakat barat. Hal tersebut tentu memberikan tantangan terhadap Pesantren di era modern ini dengan tetap mengedepankan kultur ketimuran. Perlunya adanya implementasi kiri islam pada pendidikan Pesantren dengan diadanya pendidikan berkaitan dengan IT ataupun sains yang menyelaraskan dengan al-qur’an mengembangkan kurikulum, sehingga dapat memperkaya khazanah keislaman.

Duello e onore tra Otto e Novecento. Una prospettiva interdisciplinare
Authors: Gambacorti Irene
Published: February 2025

La pratica del duello trova sorprendente diffusione nella società italiana postunitaria tra le élite militari, politiche e intellettuali; con i suoi rituali precisamente codificati, accompagnata da un acceso dibattito, resiste con esempi significativi, seppur meno frequenti, fin dentro al ventennio fascista.
I saggi riuniti nel volume affrontano il fenomeno da diverse prospettive disciplinari – storia contemporanea, diritto, filosofia politica, antropologia sociale, letteratura, linguistica, teatro, cinema – per cercare di far luce sulla sua complessità e le molteplici implicazioni, che a lungo assicurano alle vertenze d’onore decise sul terreno ampia legittimazione sociale e un innegabile fascino nell’immaginario comune. Si aprono insieme necessari spazi di confronto con la contemporanea situazione europea (nello specifico, spagnola, ungherese, francese, portoghese), e, attraverso il duello, si porta l’attenzione sul valore cardine dell’onore, che permea il sistema di relazioni sociali tra Otto e Novecento.
Per l’onore d’Italia? Il duello tra Vittorio Emanuele di Savoia-Aosta e Henri d’Orléans
Authors: Satto Christian
Published: February 2025

Il 15 agosto 1897 Vittorio Emanuele di Savoia-Aosta, conte di Torino, si scontrò in duello con Henri d’Orléans, colpevole di aver offeso l’onore dell’esercito italiano in una corrispondenza giornalistica dall’Etiopia. In particolare, l’italiano voleva salvaguardare il prestigio del regio esercito dopo Adua, che fu la più grave disfatta militare fino ad allora subita in Africa da un esercito europeo. I due governi, però, non volevano dare un carattere nazionale
alla vertenza perché impegnati in una politica di riavvicinamento dono anni di tensioni.
Il combattimento alla spada Aosta-Orléans, dunque, si presenta come un caso di studio
paradigmatico per dimostrare quante esigenze diverse ruotavano intorno a un duello.

Il duello politico nell’Italia del primo Novecento: le vertenze dell’onorevole Chiesa
Authors: Paolini Gabriele
Published: February 2025

Nei primi cinquanta anni dell’Italia unita, la categoria che – in proporzione al numero –
faceva maggior ricorso al duello era quella dei parlamentari. La vicenda che più di ogni
altra ci restituisce la sua centralità, ma anche le contraddizioni che oramai non poteva più
eludere, è rappresentata dalla scandalosa polemica, avvenuta nel marzo 1910, tra il deputato
repubblicano Eugenio Chiesa e alcuni alti ufficiali dell’Esercito. Per la gravità delle
accuse e i personaggi coinvolti, l’episodio ebbe vasta eco e la sua ricostruzione consente di
chiarire forze e limiti della pratica.
Rivalità e contesa: la “zumpata” nel cinema muto napoletano
Authors: Fornaro Angela Maria
Published: February 2025

L’intervento indaga le modalità di rappresentazione del duello nel contesto popolare napoletano tra Ottocento e Novecento. La messa in scena dello scontro tra rivali, “la zumpata”, si sviluppa in ambito teatrale con il genere della sceneggiata per poi transitare al cinema. Confrontando testi diversi è possibile individuare alcuni tratti caratteristici della regolazione dei conti, motivo centrale del complesso universo socio-antropologico della città partenopea, più volte rappresentato nella rete delle pratiche dello spettacolo cittadino: teatro, cinema, canzone.
Forensic veterinary assessment of the expert informativeness of biotransformation patterns of dog and cat corpses in various states of decomposition

Currently, there is no universal algorithm for determining the time of death of an animal. The purpose of the study was to provide a comprehensive argumentation of the forensic veterinary diagnostic significance of the biotransformation phenomena of 28 dog and cat corpses with justification based on their thorough assessment of expert criteria for the duration of postmortem intervals. The study used special and logical-philosophical methods: physical, observation, cyto/histomorphological, forensic veterinary autopsy, analysis, synthesis, deduction, and induction. Early mortalities: rigor mortis, drying, spots, cooling, and late mortalities: decay, skeletalization, fragmentation, patterns of biotransformation, their time ranges, and morphological characteristics are identified. The criterion informativeness of the ‘idiomuscular’ and ‘pupillary’ supravital reactions has been proved. The dynamics of disorganization of venous blood of dog and cat corpses within 48 h after death was determined. The sequence of postmortem succession by the entomofauna is shown. According to the concept of ‘evidence-based’ veterinary medicine, the key stages of postmortem decomposition of dog and cat corpses at different levels of structural organization are illustrated. Based on the analysis of the results of the empirical study, it is substantiated that in the interval of more than 72 h from the moment of death, the answers to the questions in the expert’s opinion, due to the large number of complex processes that occur in the tissues of dog and cat corpses, are often only probable

The current, conditionally safe, epizootic state of livestock in Ukraine regarding bovine leukemia has been determined. The lack of comprehensive anti-leukemia health programs in the detection of single animals infected with the leukemia virus in almost every region, except for Zakarpattia and Lviv regions, is due to violations of the regulations and the scope of diagnostic tests for leukemia and measures to prevent recurrence of the epizootic. In the postwar period, it would be strategic to develop and implement regulations for serological control of livestock on each farm, depending on specific epizootic circumstances
