Pengaruh Kompetensi Profesional terhadap Kinerja Guru melalui Variabel Kontrol Etos Kerja di SMK Daarul Abroor Tasikmalaya
Authors: Basori Alwi Istinari , Machali Imam
Published: December 2022

This research aims to find out the influence between teacher professional competency variables on teacher performance controlled by work ethic variables and find out the magnitude of influence between variables. This study was located at SMK Daarul Abroor Tasikmalaya with a total sampling method that took the overall population of 40 people. The independent variable in the study was professional competence (X), while the dependent variable was teacher performance (Y). In addition, there are control variables in the form of work ethic (Z). Data collection instruments use questionnaires (questionnaires) as well as documentation. The data analysis method in this study consists of descriptive analysis and inferential analysis using statistical product and service solution (SPSS) version 22. Based on the results of the comparison between the bivariate correlation coefficient with the partial correlation coefficient obtained ryx > ryx.z = 0.807 > 0.519. From the comparison it can be concluded that professional competence can affect the performance of teachers because it is controlled by work ethic. In multiple regression analysis, there is a positive and significant influence between professional competence (X) on teacher performance (Y) through work ethic control variable (Z) with a coefficient of determination R2 of 0.706 with a significance value of 0.000 or less than α = 0.05. That is, the teacher performance variable (Y) can be explained by professional competency variable (X) and work ethic variable (Z) of 70.6%. The double regression equation is Y= 0.195X + 0.504X + 0.362X. Thus, in order for professional competence to be able to contribute to teacher performance, it must be supported by the work ethic of each individual teacher.
Intersex child’s parents’ negative experiences – case study
Authors: Czerwiec Karolina
Published: December 2022

Intersexualism is often treated as a secret in medical and family systems. According to the thesis that intersex body is pathological and requires immediate surgical and hormonal regulation, intersex persons are subject to the process which involves rapid production of normative masculinity or femininity through invasive clinical practices. The goal of the study was to diagnose the experiences of parents of an intersex child with searching for support during the treatment for both the child and themselves. The study was conducted by means of individual semi-structured interview. The results are presented as a case study. It was shown that parents do not always receive the necessary social and medical support, and their children are treated as sensations and pathologies, regardless of the fact that empathy and acceptance are critical for making the right treatment-related decisions.

Published: December 2022

Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) in neonates with birth asphyxia. This study aimed to utilize urinary biomarkers to characterize AKI in an established neonatal rat model of HIE. Day 7 Sprague–Dawley rat pups underwent HIE using the Rice–Vannucci model (unilateral carotid ligation followed by 120 mins of 8% oxygen). Controls included no surgery and sham surgery. Weights and urine for biomarkers (NGAL, osteopontin, KIM‐1, albumin) were collected the day prior, daily for 3 days post‐intervention, and at sacrifice day 14. Kidneys and brains were processed for histology. HIE pups displayed histological evidence of kidney injury including damage to the proximal tubules, consistent with resolving acute tubular necrosis, and had significantly elevated urinary levels of NGAL and albumin compared to sham or controls 1‐day post‐insult that elevated for 3 days. KIM‐1 significantly increased for 2 days post‐HIE. HIE did not significantly alter osteopontin levels. Seven days post‐start of experiment, controls were 81.2% above starting weight compared to 52.1% in HIE pups. NGAL and albumin levels inversely correlated with body weight following HIE injury. The AKI produced by the Rice–Vannucci HIE model is detectable by urinary biomarkers, which can be used for future studies of treatments to reduce kidney injury.
Cooperative capture trajectory optimization of multi-space robots using an improved multi-objective fruit fly algorithm
Authors: Wang Yong , Cao Jing , Ye Nan , Sun Shouming , Li Junfeng , Bo Zhenyong
Published: December 2022

Considering that some tasks will require the consistency of the position and attitude of the end-effector, multi-space-robot cooperative capture also needs to consider the synchronization of the two capture arms. Taking the dual-space robots as example, the trajectory planning problem before cooperative capture is focused. First, a drive-transform method based on trapezoidal velocity interpolation is proposed, which combines the advantages of these two methods to obtain the SE(3) motion trajectory, in which the attitude and position are planned synchronously. Then, the trajectory optimization model of cooperative capture is established, which takes the optimal time and the minimum attitude disturbance of the base as the optimization goals, and simultaneously satisfies that the two capture arms reach the capture point synchronously. In order to solve this multi-objective optimization problem, a dual-population multi-objective fruit fly algorithm based on non-dominated sorting was proposed. Finally, the simulation example of dual-space robots shows that the proposed algorithm is effective, and the analysis of the optimal solution set demonstrates that the optimized cooperative capture trajectory is smooth and synchronous.
Why people fail to participate in annual skin cancer screening: creation of the perceptions of annual skin cancer screening scale (PASCSS)
Authors: Howard Matt C.
Published: December 2022

Objectives

Many studies show that most people, even at-risk individuals, do not undergo routine clinical skin cancer screening, and many questions remain unanswered regarding the participation (or lack thereof) in annual skin cancer screening. Perhaps the largest unanswered question is the most essential: why do people fail to undergo annual skin cancer screening? We provide an avenue to answer this question by creating the Perceptions of Annual Skin Cancer Screening Scale (PASCSS).

Methods

In Study 1, we conduct a qualitative investigation to identify potential scale dimensions and items (n=233). In Study 2, we test the validity and psychometric properties of our initial item list via exploratory factor analysis (n=406). In Study 3, we further test the psychometric properties of our item list via confirmatory factor analysis (n=587).

Results

These three studies provide strong support for the validity and psychometric properties of our item list, resulting in the PASCSS. The PASCSS includes 48 items and 12 dimensions that each represent unique perceptions regarding annual skin cancer screening.

Conclusions

We encourage future authors to utilize the PASCSS to identify those most at risk for failing to participate in annual skin cancer screening as well as develop adaptive interventions that can target these participants.

Authors: Anselmann Veronika , Vetter Olga
Published: December 2022

Objectives

Teacher cooperation can be described as the collaboration of teachers in the form of exchange, synchronisation, and co-construction. The aim of this study was to determine if attitudes towards teacher collaboration, teacher self-efficacy, and perceptions of a safe team climate were related to teacher collaboration activities, as well as if these collaboration activities fostered professional development.

Methods

An explorative study using an online questionnaire was conducted. A total of 202 (n=202) nursing educators participated. Scales measuring teacher collaboration, professional development, teacher self-efficacy, and safe team climate were used. Data analysis included explorative and confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, and structural equation modelling.

Results

The results showed a positive relation between teacher self-efficacy, perceptions of a safe team climate, and attitudes towards teacher collaboration with collaboration activities.

Conclusions

The results underline the importance of offering collaborative settings and opportunities for educators to reflect on their experiences during teacher training.

Outage probability for a multiuser NOMA-based network using energy harvesting relays
Authors: Press Rifqah , Balyan Vipin
Published: December 2022

This article evaluates the energy-harvesting capabilities of a multiuser non-orthogonal multiple access-based system, where energy harvesting relays utilise the power splitting relaying protocol to harvest energy and amplify-and-forward protocol to forward the signals to the connected users. The expressions for each user’s energy harvesting outage probability are calculated and compared to the same system model without energy harvesting. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the energy-harvesting relay nodes and the improved outage probability of each user.
Feasibility for the preparation of aerogels with celluloses extracted mildly from waste palm leaves
Authors: Chen Rui , Hou Yi , Zhang Jinchao , Cui Jianxiang , Li Guangsheng
Published: December 2022

Reasonable use and disposal of agricultural and forestry wastes become an urgent focus of attention with the dangers of pollution and squandering. In this paper, palm leaves, a typical kind of cellulose-rich agricultural and forestry waste, were attempted to prepare high-valued porous aerogels with cellulose by a short and mild extraction followed by the process of cross-linking with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform-infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Bruno-Emmett-Teller (BET), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were applied to examine their structures, chemical composition, and performance compared with hardwood cellulose aerogels. The results showed that palm leaf cellulose could be extracted friendly under mild extraction of 5% NaOH solution for 7 h, following 10% H2O2 solution for 8 h at 80 °C, which inhibits effectively the alkaline hydrolysis of cellulose with the extraction rate of 35.25%, the cellulose purity of 87.12%, and crystallinity of 69.9%. Compared with hardwood cellulose aerogel, the prepared environmentally friendly and recyclable palm leaf cellulose aerogel is a promising application material with similar ultra-low density, high porosity, specific surface area, thermal stability, and better compression resilience, which provides a new technical direction for the high-value application of agricultural and forestry wastes.
An experimental investigation and machine learning-based prediction for seismic performance of steel tubular column filled with recycled aggregate concrete
Authors: Tang Yunchao , Wang Yufei , Wu Dongxiao , Liu Zhonghe , Zhang Hexin , Zhu Ming , Chen Zheng , Sun Junbo , Wang Xiangyu
Published: December 2022

This work presents the design and application of a low-cycle reciprocating loading test on 23 recycled aggregate concrete-filled steel tube columns and 3 ordinary concrete-filled steel tube columns. Additionally, a systematic study on the influence of various parameters (e.g., slenderness ratio, axial compression ratio, etc.) was conducted on the seismic performance of the specimens. The results show that all the specimens have good hysteresis performance and a similar development trend of skeleton curve. The influence of slenderness ratio on the seismic index of the specimens is more significant than that of the axial compression ratio and the steel pipe wall thickness. Furthermore, artificial intelligence was applied to estimate the influence of parameter variation on the seismic performance of concrete columns. Specifically, Random Forest with hyperparameters tuned by Firefly Algorithm was chosen. The high correlation coefficients (R) and low root mean square error values from the prediction results showed acceptable accuracy. In addition, sensitivity analysis was applied to rank the influence of the aforementioned input variables on the seismic performance of the specimens. The research results can provide experimental reference for the application of steel tube recycled concrete in earthquake areas.

Automated Image Analysis Reveals Different Localization of Synaptic Gephyrin C4 Splice Variants
Authors: Liebsch Filip , Eggersmann Fynn R. , Merkler Yvonne , Kloppenburg Peter , Schwarz Günter
Published: December 2022

Postsynaptic scaffolding proteins function as central organization hubs, ensuring the synaptic localization of neurotransmitter receptors, trans-synaptic adhesion proteins, and signaling molecules. Gephyrin is the major postsynaptic scaffolding protein at glycinergic and a subset of GABAergic inhibitory synapses. In contrast to cells outside the CNS, where one gephyrin isoform is predominantly expressed, neurons express different splice variants. In this study, we characterized the expression and scaffolding of neuronal gephyrin isoforms differing in the inclusion of the C4 cassettes located in the central C-domain. In hippocampal and cortical neuronal populations, gephyrin P1, lacking additional cassettes, is the most abundantly expressed isoform. In addition, alternative splicing generated isoforms carrying predominantly C4a, and minor amounts of C4c or C4d cassettes. We detected no striking difference in C4 isoform expression between different neuron types and a single neuron can likely express all C4 isoforms. To avoid the cytosolic aggregates that are commonly observed upon exogenous gephyrin expression, we used adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated expression to analyze the scaffolding behavior of individual C4 isoforms in murine dissociated hippocampal glutamatergic neurons. While all isoforms showed similar clustering at GABAergic synapses, a thorough quantitative analysis revealed localization differences for the C4c isoform (also known as P2). Specifically, synaptic C4c isoform clusters showed a more distal dendritic localization and reduced occurrence at P1-predominating synapses. Additionally, inhibitory currents displayed faster decay kinetics in the presence of gephyrin C4c compared with P1. Therefore, inhibitory synapse heterogeneity may be influenced, at least in part, by mechanisms relating to C4 cassette splicing.
Decomposing Neural Representational Patterns of Discriminatory and Hedonic Information during Somatosensory Stimulation

Published: December 2022

The ability to interrogate specific representations in the brain, determining how, and where, difference sources of information are instantiated can provide invaluable insight into neural functioning. Pattern component modeling (PCM) is a recent analytic technique for human neuroimaging that allows the decomposition of representational patterns in brain into contributing subcomponents. In the current study, we present a novel PCM variant that tracks the contribution of prespecified representational patterns to brain representation across areas, thus allowing hypothesis-guided employment of the technique. We apply this technique to investigate the contributions of hedonic and nonhedonic information to the neural representation of tactile experience. We applied aversive pressure (AP) and appetitive brush (AB) to stimulate distinct peripheral nerve pathways for tactile information (C-/CT-fibers, respectively) while patients underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanning. We performed representational similarity analyses (RSAs) with pattern component modeling to dissociate how discriminatory versus hedonic tactile information contributes to population code representations in the human brain. Results demonstrated that information about appetitive and aversive tactile sensation is represented separately from nonhedonic tactile information across cortical structures. This also demonstrates the potential of new hypothesis-guided PCM variants to help delineate how information is instantiated in the brain.
Bureaucratic Representation in the IMF and the World Bank
Authors: Weaver Catherine , Heinzel Mirko , Jorgensen Samantha , Flores Joseph
Published: December 2022

The legitimacy and effectiveness of international organizations are often linked directly to issues of representation—not only on their high-level governing boards and in top leadership but also within their staff. This article explores two key questions of bureaucratic representation in the critical cases of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. First, we seek to unpack three essential dimensions of staff representation—nationality, education, and gender—to explain how representation may matter for international organizations. Second, we aim to describe the multiple dimensions of representation in the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank over the past twenty years by deploying a novel dataset on staff demographics, focusing on ranks with decision-making authority within the institutions. Our descriptive analysis reveals that the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank have made considerable efforts to diversify their bureaucracies. Nonetheless, representation remains uneven; for example, nationals from middle- and low-income countries, women, and staff without economics degrees from prominent US- or UK-based universities are less present in key leadership positions. These results may be well explained by the particular needs of the institutions’ technical mandates and limits in the supply of qualified staff and, as such, need not be seen as suboptimal. Nonetheless, perceived imbalances in representation may continue to pose external legitimation and operational challenges to the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank in a complex political environment where such multidimensional representation is important to sustaining the buy-in of donor and borrower countries alike. To this end, we recommend that the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank enhance their diversity and inclusion efforts by increasing transparency via reporting disaggregated data on workforce composition and introducing annual requirements to publish progress reports with management feedback to strengthen internal and external accountability.
Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors and erythrocytosis: a review
Authors: Shah Najeeb , Bandara Thushari , Deshmukh Harshal , Batten Lucy , Walton Chris , Sathyapalan Thozhukat
Published: December 2022

Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are a class of anti-hyperglycaemic agents widely used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). They function by reducing renal glucose reabsorption and thereby promote urinary glucose excretion, resulting in improvement in glycaemic control. In large-scale clinical trials, SGLT2i have been shown to reduce cardiovascular mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction and stroke signiﬁcantly. In addition, clinical evidence suggests that they are renal protective as their use reduces the relative risk of end-stage renal disease and death from renal causes. These positive results have led to a rapid uptake of SGLT2i in clinical practice. Recently, clinical studies and case reports have suggested a link between SGLT2i therapy and erythrocytosis. The authors discuss possible mechanisms at cellular level that may cause erythrocytosis and explore its clinical relevance in people living with T2DM who are taking SGLT2i therapy.

Selection of the End-Expiratory Pressure for Mechanical Respiratory Support (Review)
Authors: Ovsiannikov R. Y. , Lebedinskii K. M.
Published: December 2022

End-expiratory pressure remains one of the few parameters of mechanical respiratory support whose values have not been strictly regulated using the evidence-based approach. The absence of «gold standard» for end-expiratory pressure optimization together with its obvious significant contribution to the efficiency and safety of respiratory support has driven the search for the optimal method of choosing its values for several decades.

Aim of the review: to identify the optimal methods for determining the values of end-expiratory pressure based on the analysis of its positive and negative effects in the used strategies of mechanical respiratory support.

Material and methods. We analyzed 165 papers from the PubMed, Scopus, and RSCI databases of medical and biological publications. Among them we selected 86 sources that most completely covered the following subjects: respiratory support, end-expiratory pressure, recruitment, ventilation-perfusion relationships, metabolography, and gas analysis.

Results.We outlined the main positive and negative effects of the end-expiratory pressure with regard to both lung biomechanical characteristics and pulmonary perfusion. The evolution of views on the methods of determining optimal values of the end-expiratory pressure was reviewed with the emphasis on a certain «fixation» of the scientific community in recent decades concerning the opening of the alveoli. The promising techniques based on the analysis of the diffusion capacity of the lungs were presented.

Conclusion.Focusing on mechanical lung opening prevents the scientific community from advancing in the optimization of the end-expiratory pressure. Dynamic assessment of pulmonary diffusion efficiency provides a new perspective on the issue, offering additional ways to the development of «gold standard».

Authors: Carrillo-López Pedro José , Hortigüela-Alcalá David
Published: December 2022

La literatura científica ha identificado la práctica evaluativa como el motor principal del aprendizaje en escolares. El objetivo del estudio fue analizar la relación existente entre la percepción del discente sobre las prácticas evaluativas formativas del docente de Matemáticas y Lengua y su rendimiento académico. En este estudio descriptivo de corte transversal compuesto por 133 escolares se valoraron las prácticas evaluativas formativas del docente a través del cuestionario desempeño docente asociado a las prácticas evaluativas formativas. El rendimiento académico se calculó a través de la calificación obtenida en Matemáticas y Lengua. Tras ajustar al sexo y edad, se observaron diferencias significativas en la evaluación formativa proactiva, interactiva, retroactiva y global (p<0,05). Por su parte, puntuaciones inferiores en Lengua se correlacionaron positivamente ajustándose y, sin ajustar al sexo y edad, con la evaluación formativa sumativa (p<0,05). Asimismo, la prueba de regresión lineal mostró una asociación entre puntuaciones inferiores en Lengua y una mayor evaluación formativa sumativa (R2=0,414). Sobre la base de estos resultados, la percepción del discente sobre la práctica evaluativa del docente puede estar relacionada con su rendimiento académico en el área de Matemáticas y Lengua en escolares de primaria; especialmente la evaluación sumativa.
Prolegómenos para una Filosofía de la Educación en la Inter- y Eco-Dependencia. El Caso de la Institución Libre de Enseñanza
Authors: Pinto Freyre Jesús , Santamaría Pérez Adrián
Published: December 2022

En el presente artículo se pretende despejar el camino para pensar filosóficamente experiencias pedagógicas que sean a su vez una reflexión sobre los fundamentos de la educación. Para ello, tomando como punto de partida la crisis ecosocial en la que nos encontramos (resumida, en el presente texto, como un doble atentado al suelo social y al techo medioambiental), trataremos de especificar qué quiere decir tanto «filosofía» como «educación» en la proposición «filosofía de la educación». Defenderemos, así, el carácter dual de la educación (en tanto que transforma a la vez que conserva), frente a cierta tradición marxista que le habría venido a negar cualquier tipo de papel de cara a la transformación social. Igualmente, trataremos de justificar la pertinencia de una filosofía naturalista, alejada de aquello que Rabossi denominó «Canon». Una vez especifiquemos cuál es el sentido del mencionado concepto («filosofía de la educación»), lo pondremos a prueba en un estudio de caso español: a saber, la Institución Libre de Enseñanza. Tras un breve bosquejo de los conceptos «interdependencia» y «ecodependencia», argumentaremos que esta, la ILE, además de ser valiosa para pensar filosóficamente la educación en España, lo es también para concretar qué quiere decir una educación ecosocial.

Rad tematizira društvene, spoznajne i afektivne posljedice razornog potresa koji je pogodio područje Banije 29. prosinca 2020. godine. Prirodna nepogoda se ne razumijeva samo kao katastrofa nego i kao svojevrsna katarza koja je otkrila slojeve političkog zanemarivanja, teške prošlosti i duboke povezanosti čovjeka s prirodom. Autorica interpretira (posredovane i etnografski zabilježene) osobne naracije o prirodnoj nepogodi, ruinizaciji i regeneraciji, solidarnosti i međusobnom razumijevanju kao temelj za oblikovanje novih afektivnih zajednica i pokretanje procesa kojima se razgrađuju nacionalne (i nacionalističke) naracije i postiže osnaživanje zajednice. Metodološki okvir rada obuhvaća participativnu etnografiju, teorije usmenog pripovijedanja (Bausinger 2018 [1958]; Borland 2021; Bošković-Stulli 1984; Ranke 2018 [1967]; Rudan 2020, Shuman 2005), osjetilnu etnografiju (Bendix 2000, 2005) i ekološku spoznaju “duboke međuovisnosti čovjeka i svih stvari koje ga okružuju” (da Silva i Neuman 2018). Autorica zaključuje da seljani, kohabitirajući s prirodom, ali i oviseći o njoj, na jedinstvenom iskustvu nepogode grade smisao tako što uspoređuju ovu katastrofu s drugim primjerima ljudske patnje i oblikuju je u narativni obrazac koji “od alegorijskog čini osobno, od lokalnog kozmičko” iskustvo (Shuman 2005).
The Role of Green Self-Identity and Self-Congruity in Sustainable Food Consumption Behaviour
Authors: Gravelines Žaneta , Banytė Jūratė , Dovalienė Aistė , Gadeikienė Agnė
Published: December 2022

The aim of this paper is to explore the role of green self-identity and self-congruity with green food products in predicting consumers’ sustainable food consumption behaviour. Previous research suggests that there is a relationship between individuals’ self-identity and the consumption of products. However, when it comes to the realm of sustainable food consumption, those relations are not unambiguous. This study employs a survey with a sample of 837 respondents in Lithuania. The findings confirm that green self-identity and self-congruity with green food products positively influence subsequent sustainable food consumption behaviour both directly and indirectly. The implications of this study can be used to better understand green consumer behaviour and provide useful information to marketers and policymakers by suggesting that the promotion of sustainable food consumption behaviour should highlight not only functional but symbolic benefits as well.

Do marxismo à ideologia comunista
Authors: Parreiras Mônica
Published: December 2022

Este artigo tem por objetivo abordar o pensamento de Merleau-Ponty acerca da ideologia comunista e a relação com a ascendência marxista que culminou com a falência da credibilidade dessa ideologia. Na obra As Aventuras da Dialética (1955), o filósofo propõe pensar a evolução histórica do conceito de dialética como modo de libertação de formas de envolvimentos políticos alienados. Para tal, abordaremos os conceitos merleau-pontyanos de história e de dialética, para posteriormente trazermos as críticas de Merleau-Ponty à ideologia comunista. Ressaltamos, contudo, o reconhecimento da importância das elaborações de Marx para o autor. Concluiremos sustentando que o posicionamento político de Merleau-Ponty está vinculado à sua concepção da história e da dialética e com isso, sua crítica aos destinos que o marxismo foi assumindo por estar preso aos movimentos partidários da ideologia comunista.
En torno a los límites de la sintaxis y el discurso: una reflexión sobre el adverbio «naturalmente»
Authors: Rodríguez-Ramalle Teresa
Published: December 2022

En este trabajo revisaré algunas propiedades morfológicas y sintácticas de naturalmente para relacionarlas con la interpretación discursiva de este adverbio en contextos concretos. Mi objetivo principal consiste en delimitar la relevancia de los aspectos discursivos y configuracionales en las lecturas que presentan este adverbio. Para ello tendré en cuenta la presencia del hablante y su proyección en la estructura (Speas/Tenny 2003; Wiltschko/Heim 2014; 2016; Pancheva/Zubizarreta 2019, entre otros), así como las relaciones entre oraciones en el nivel del discurso. Mi tesis consiste en que el adverbio naturalmente refuerza la opinión afirmativa del hablante ante lo que manifiesta y sirve como justificación «natural» de su razonamiento fingido. Esta interpretación es posible gracias a las propiedades de la base adjetiva junto con la configuración con la que se vincula naturalmente.
Doğu Akdeniz’in Değişen Jeopolitiği ve Türk Dış Politikası
Authors: OZAN Emre
Published: December 2022

Doğu Akdeniz tarih boyunca önemli bir bölge olmakla birlikte Soğuk Savaş döneminden bu yana Ortadoğu ve Kuzey Afrika bölgesinin bir uzantısı olarak kabul edilmiştir. Son yıllarda ise kendi dinamikleri ile önem kazanmış ve bağımsız bir alt-bölge haline gelmiştir. Doğu Akdeniz jeopolitiğinde yaşanan bu yapısal dönüşümden en çok etkilenen ülkelerin başında Türkiye gelmektedir. Doğu Akdeniz Türk dış politikasında büyük bir önem kazanmış ve Türkiye’nin güvenlik söyleminde geniş bir yer kaplamaya başlamıştır. Doğu Akdeniz’de yaşanan önemli jeopolitik kırılmalar bölge devletleri arasındaki güvenlik ilişkilerinin dönüşümüne yol açmakta ve Türkiye bu dönüşüme yanıt verme ihtiyacı duymaktadır. Bu çerçevede, bu makale realist uluslararası ilişkiler yaklaşımlarının ittifak oluşumlarına dair açıklamalarını temel alarak Doğu Akdeniz’deki ittifak oluşumlarını ve Türkiye’nin bu sürece nasıl bir yanıt verdiğini tartışmayı amaçlamaktadır. Söz konusu dönüşüm başlıca üç boyuta sahiptir. Birincisi bölgede keşfedilen hidrokarbon kaynakları bölge ülkeleri arasında hem iş birliği için fırsatlar yaratmış hem de çeşitli uyuşmazlıklara yol açmıştır. Enerji faktörü ittifak yapılarının temel değişkenlerinden biri haline gelmiştir. İkincisi Arap Baharı sonrasında artan bölgesel güvensizlikler ve istikrarsızlık tüm bölge ülkelerinin ittifak tercihlerini etkilemiştir. Üçüncüsü Doğu Akdeniz ve çevresinde artan büyük güç rekabeti bir yandan bölgenin askerileşmesine yol açmakta diğer yandan bölge ülkelerinin ittifak tercihlerini etkilemektedir. Yapısal dönüşümün bu üç boyutu birbirlerinden bağımsız süreçler değildir. Tam aksine birbirleriyle bağlantılı karmaşık süreçlerdir. Bu çalışmada, Doğu Akdeniz’in birbirleriyle bağlantılı üç dinamik çerçevesinde tanımlanan jeopolitik dönüşümünün Türk dış politikası üzerindeki etkileri tartışılmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, bu çalışmanın temel argümanı Doğu Akdeniz’de yaşanan jeopolitik dönüşümün Türkiye’yi güvenlik odaklı bir dış politikaya yönelttiği ve Doğu Akdeniz’in yeni jeopolitik yapısına uyum sağlama ihtiyacının Türk dış politikasındaki yeni denge arayışları ile eşzamanlı ortaya çıktığıdır.
Brazil’s economic growth and real (div)convergence from a very long-term perspective (1822-2019): An historical appraisal

Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT The reconstruction of the economic history of Brazil since independence from Portugal (1822) may lead to a new understanding of its economic growth. The deep-rooted idea that Brazil could have done better means there is a need to delve into each phase of its development. In this paper, we provide a very long-run perspective (1822-2019) of Brazil’s economic growth and process of real convergence. On the one hand, this review indicates that structural changes observed in the middle of the 20th century were crucial in promoting the country’s growth and real convergence with technologically advanced countries. On the other hand, poor institutional conditions and deficient human capital formation have emerged since colonial times as critical factors underlying Brazil’s inability to establish robust and sustainable economic growth.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative effect on surgical education in Latin America, decreasing residents’ surgical training and supervised clinical practice. AIMS: This study aimed to identify strategies that have been proposed or implemented to adapt surgical training and supervised clinical practice to COVID-19-related limitations in Latin America. METHOD: A literature review was performed between April and May 2021, divided into two searches. The first one sought to identify adaptation strategies in Latin America for surgical training and supervised clinical practice. The second one was carried out as a complement to identify methodologies proposed in the rest of the world. RESULTS: In the first search, 16 of 715 articles were selected. In the second one, 41 of 1,637 articles were selected. Adaptive strategies proposed in Latin America focused on videoconferencing and simulation. In the rest of the world, remote critical analysis of recorded/live surgeries, intrasurgical tele-mentoring, and surgery recording with postoperative feedback were suggested. CONCLUSIONS: Multiple adaptation strategies for surgical education during the COVID-19 pandemic have been proposed in Latin America and the rest of the world. There is an opportunity to implement new strategies in the long term for surgical training and supervised clinical practice, although more prospective studies are required to generate evidence-based recommendations.
Domesticação contra a plantation
Authors: Bulamah Rodrigo Charafeddine
Published: December 2022

Resumo A plantation esteve no centro do projeto colonial europeu no Caribe e em outras partes das Américas. Contudo, para que pudesse florescer como uma infraestrutura moderna, a plantation dependia de múltiplas conexões regionais e globais, assim como de um amplo espectro de interações entre humanos e mais-que-humanos. Neste artigo, me debruço sobre um conjunto de fontes coloniais, tais como relatos de viagem e romances históricos para retraçar a jornada dos porcos europeus ao Caribe. Ao olhar especificamente para este animal, com um enfoque particular sobre a ilha de Espanhola - atualmente dividida entre o Haiti e a República Dominicana - mostro como o par domesticação e feralização (ou marronage) definia ritmos de colonização ao mesmo tempo em que possibilitava o surgimento de novas e desafiadoras alianças nas margens e fraturas das paisagens coloniais - alianças que podemos chamar também de contraplantation.
Depois da “judicialização”: um mapa bibliográfico do Supremo
Authors: Silva Jeferson Mariano
Published: December 2022

RESUMO Introdução: O artigo faz uma revisão sistemática para explicar a trajetória do conceito de “judicialização da política” na literatura produzida pelas ciências sociais sobre o Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF). Materiais e Métodos: São revisados e classificados tematicamente 148 documentos publicados entre 1990 e 2021. Resultados: É descrita a formação do campo de estudos sobre o STF, identificando seus diferentes estágios de desenvolvimento e suas diversas temáticas, além de mostrar como e por que o conceito de “judicialização” perdeu importância nesse contexto. Isso se deveu, fundamentalmente, às reiteradas críticas a que o conceito foi submetido e à emergência de enquadramentos conceituais alternativos. Discussão: Este exercício de revisão e crítica conceitual é relevante para o desenvolvimento de análises empíricas sobre o STF, porque contribui para elevar o rigor conceitual dos usos remanescentes da noção de “judicialização da política”.

Development opportunities: economic complexity as a driver for São Paulo
Authors: Ávila Matheus , Luna Ivette
Published: December 2022

Abstract The study analyzes the growth and development opportunities for cities in the Brazilian state of São Paulo, considering economic complexity. Our hypothesis is that the structural heterogeneity in Brazil, and in São Paulo, creates regional inequality. Therefore, cities have different development trajectories depending on their current economic capacities and productive structures. The level of economic complexity is the measurement of an economy’s ability to produce goods with a higher (or lower) level of embedded knowledge. Applying this theory to cities in the state of São Paulo indicates substantially unequal levels of complexity in the state territory, with the best indicators centered around cities such as São Paulo and Campinas. A correlation was found between the municipalities’ current level of complexity, their levels of production, and complexity outlook. Thus, based on the opportunities presented for each municipality and their engagement in this transformation process, cities will develop at different speeds and inequalities will emerge.
