Decolonizing Gender Dynamics: Reclaiming Lawino’s Voice in Okot p’Bitek’s Song of Lawino
Authors: Mehuza Yolenta Oktovia , Dewi Novita
Published: September 2024

Using Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o’s decolonization theory, this article argues that Okot p’Bitek’s Song of Lawino reclaims African cultural voice and identity. Even though it is available in English, Song of Lawino is a kind of narrative poetry borrowed from the traditional Acholi song. This study uses contextual and stylistic analysis to show how p’Bitek’s poetry acts as a force for decolonization, advocates for cultural preservation, and addresses collective issues. Findings show that by satirizing African middle-class elites who adhere to Western values, the two chapters from Song of Lawino studied “The Woman with Whom I Share My Husband” and “Let Them Prepare the Malakwang Dish” highlight the clash between European and African cultures. In these poems, Lawino challenges gender dynamics and defends traditional practices, as well as criticizes the shallowness of Westernized lifestyles adopted by her husband Ocol. Through this strong-willed woman’s criticism, Okot p’Bitek’s poetry reveals the negative impacts of credulous cultural assimilation and underlines the import
Monitoring of the manufacturing industry: assessment of the sustainable development
Authors: Gartvich Roman E.
Published: September 2024

The article presents and tests a methodology for assessing the sustainable development of the Russian manufacturing industry, based on publicly available annual data from the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat) and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian Federation over the period 2010-2022. To assess the sustainability of the industry, 32 indicators from three main areas - economic (13), social (10), and environmental (9) - were used. These indicators include measures of output, investment, fixed assets, innovation, efficiency of resource use, profitability, organization of employment, labor protection, occupational safety and health, wages, environmental investments, waste management, atmospheric and water pollution, and energy consumption. All indicators were standardized and subjected to logical checks to ensure that an increase in their values corresponded to an improvement in the relevant aspect of the industry. This allowed for a comprehensive assessment of the sustainability of Russian manufacturing. Estimates using the proposed methodology demonstrate the degree of change in indicators over time and do not necessitate the presence of normative values, which may be controversial. The findings indicate an increase in the overall indicator of sustainable development for the analyzed period of 17.9%. Approximately half of this increase is due to improvements in the environmental sector, which rose by 28%. The economic and social components contributed approximately a quarter each to the improvement in the composite measure of sustainable development in the manufacturing industry, rising by 13.4% and 13% respectively over the review period. Problem areas have also been identified where improvement is minimal or the situation is worsening: the situation with fixed assets, innovation, waste management and employment.
Change criteria as a factor of labour rationalization in the change of social-labour relations
Authors: Bogunov Leonid A.
Published: September 2024

The aim of the study is to analyze the elaboration of the problems of labor change in the current conditions and methodological justification of ensuring the rationalization of labor, implemented primarily by individuals themselves. The relevance of the study is determined by the active transformation of existing social and labor relations and the need to ensure the adaptation of labor activity of individual subjects of labor to changing conditions. On the basis of institutional and neo-institutional approaches, as well as system-activity methodology, a critical understanding of the concept of bounded rationality is proposed. The need is formalized and the solution to form the criterion of variability as a factor of the desired rationalization of labor is implemented. The functional of this criterion is revealed, which is not so much an alternative to the criterion of satisfiability considered in H.A. Simon's researches, as its methodological development and necessary addition providing the target rationalization. Two models of labor activity are shown. The first model is realized in the logic of the criterion of satisfaction, which makes it difficult for a limitedly rational individual to leave the actual comfort zone and, therefore, does not contribute to relevant rationalization. The second model of labor activity is realized in the logic of the criterion of variability and can contribute to this rationalization. The potential of the second model is specified: (a) it becomes possible to rationalize labor in terms of changing the usefulness of both individual actions and labor activity as a whole; (b) rationalization can be carried out by the individual himself regardless of the experience of his previous socialization; (c) the applicability of the second model of labor activity potentially to an unlimited number of labor resources is ensured by means of the second model of labor activity. The directions of possible use of the obtained results are shown both from the point of view of formation of labor markets, employment policy, personnel training, and from the position of further research.
Various schemes and approaches to logging processes
Authors: Semenikhin V.N.
Published: September 2024

The computing environment requires a reliable and comprehensive process for tracking and documenting user activity to maintain trust in the system. Logging is used for this purpose. However, logs that are created during the life cycle of an information system are vulnerable to a variety of attacks, including modification of logs, the possibility of erasing logs, and exposing user privacy. Many schemes have been created to solve these problems. Each of them has its own characteristics and its own views on logging processes. An overview of various schemes for protecting logs and approaches to the logging process is given.

Periodic processes in the system "landslides - floods - earthquakes"
Authors: Guts A.K.
Published: September 2024

A mathematical model is proposed that describes the interactions of the three most dangerous natural phenomena in Greater Sochi. These are landslides, floods caused by heavy rains, and earthquakes. The model is a system of three differential equations, the stationary equilibria for which are known as the equilibrium surfaces of the catastrophe "cusp". Thus, the model takes into account possible abrupt changes in the state of urban landslides, levels of flooding of the area and tremors. An attempt has been made to mathematically detect the possibility of cyclic processes in the development of the state of the system "Landslide - flooding - earthquake".

¿Replantear la diplomacia económica de México con Japón?
Authors: Laborde Carranco Adolfo Alberto , García González Oscar Arturo
Published: September 2024

El artículo aborda la necesidad de reevaluar y mejorar la diplomacia económica entre México y Japón, especialmente en el contexto del Acuerdo de Asociación Económica México-Japón (AAEMJ), que cumple 19 años desde su implementación. Se examinan los desafíos y oportunidades que éste presenta para ambos países en un entorno global cambiante. El objetivo central del trabajo es analizar los retos y oportunidades del AAEMJ y cómo este acuerdo puede servir para generar mayor valor agregado en las exportaciones mexicanas y fomentar inversiones conjuntas entre México y Japón. La metodología empleada en el estudio incluye la correlación de bases de datos y estadísticas comerciales de ambos países, así como un análisis cuantitativo de la información recopilada. Se utiliza la teoría de la interdependencia económica y la integración en cadenas globales de valor (CGV). La conclusión es que el AAEMJ ha fortalecido significativamente las relaciones comerciales y de inversión entre ambos países, incrementando el comercio bilateral. No obstante, la coexistencia de este acuerdo con el Tratado Integral y Progresista de Asociación Transpacífico (TIPAT) ha generado confusión sobre las ventajas arancelarias y reglas de origen, limitando la plena explotación de estos acuerdos.
La Era de las Revoluciones bajo la lupa. Análisis crítico de dos libros recientes de la historiografía estadounidense
Authors: Breña Roberto
Published: September 2024

Este ensayo bibliográfico revisa críticamente dos libros recientes sobre las revoluciones atlánticas y la Era de las Revoluciones (1688-1848): The Age of Atlantic Revolution, de Patrick Griffin (2023), y The Age of Revolutions, de Nathan Perl-Rosenthal (2024). Se argumenta que estos trabajos son ilustrativos de tendencias en la academia estadounidense al estudiar este periodo crucial para entender la modernidad política. Mediante la discusión de problemas historiográficos en ambas obras, el ensayo se propone fomentar un debate sobre cómo se estudia y explica esta época en la academia contemporánea. Se pone especial énfasis en los efectos de la hegemonía de la lengua inglesa en la investigación, cuyas implicaciones en la interpretación de la Era de las Revoluciones son significativas, pero frecuentemente desestimadas.
Alejandro Carrasco Luna, Soquimich. El negocio del litio y el financiamiento irregular de la política (1968-2017)
Authors: Paz Gonzales Eduardo
Published: September 2024

Se atribuye erróneamente a Balzac la frase “detrás de cada gran fortuna siempre hay un crimen”. En Papá Goriot encontramos exactamente lo que escribió el novelista francés: “El secreto de las grandes fortunas sin causa aparente es un crimen olvidado, porque se ha cometido de manera limpia”. En cierto modo Soquimich. El negocio del litio y el financiamiento irregular de la política (1968-2017) del historiador Alejandro Carrasco Luna habla de una fortuna, de los crímenes que se cometieron para conseguirla, de quienes actúan como si esos crímenes hubieran sido olvidados y del manto de limpieza que se le otorgó al abrigo del poder político.

Relating alkali release from a wood pellet with combustion progress: A modified random pore model supportive study
Authors: Struis Rudolf P. W. J. , Wellinger Marco , Ludwig Christian
Published: September 2024

This paper concerns a miniature gasifier fed with a constant ambient-pressure flow of air to study the pyrolysis and subsequent combustion stage of a single wood pellet at T = 800 ℃. The alkali release and the concentration of simple gases were recorded simultaneously using an improved alkali surface ionisation detector and a mass spectrometer in time steps of 1 s and 1.2 s, respectively. It showed alkali release during both stages. During combustion, the MS data showed almost complete oxidation of the charred pellet to CO2. The derived alkali release, “O2 consumed”, and “CO2 produced” conversion rates all indicated very similar temporal growth and coalescence features with respect to the varying char pore surface area underlying the original random pore model of Bhatia and Perlmutter. But, also large, rapid signal accelerations near the end and marked peak-tails with O2 and CO2 after that, but not with the alkali release data. The latter features appear indicative of alkali–deprived char attributable to the preceding pyrolysis with flowing air. Except for the peak-tails, all other features were reproduced well with the modified model equations of Struis et al. and the parameter values resembled closely those reported for fir charcoal gasified with CO2 at T = 800 ℃.
Nuevas aportaciones a la producción religiosa de los Gutiérrez de León
Authors: Gorgoglione Retana Estrella
Published: September 2024

Este trabajo presenta una serie de obras inéditas adscritas a los Gutiérrez de León, una de las sagas de escultores malagueños de mayor relevancia dentro del panorama andaluz entre los siglos XVIII y XIX. Una dinastía que no solo trabajó la escultura religiosa –sobre la que incidiremos en esta investigación–, sino, también, los barros policromados y los monumentos públicos. La producción de esta familia se encuentra distribuida por toda la geografía andaluza, no quedando circunscrita al ámbito escultórico local, mostrándose así la ciudad como el gran centro productor del momento. El tipo iconográfico más cultivado por estos artistas fue la Dolorosa; las nuevas aportaciones que abordamos presentan cuatro esculturas, de candelero para vestir y realizadas para recibir culto en el ámbito privado. De esta manera, se busca poner en valor tales piezas al formar parte del catálogo indudable de los autores, al mismo tiempo que tratamos de esclarecer los grafismos argumentados por esta saga escultórica; todo ello nos permitirá profundizar en el estilo artístico, la plástica y rasgos más particulares de algunos de los miembros de la familia, así como a completar y ampliar el catálogo que viene configurándose en los últimos años.
Educación histórica y narrativas alternativas a través de museos
Authors: Gómez Carrasco Cosme , Rebollo Fidalgo Marcos , Lago González Encarna , Moreno Rebordinos Ana
Published: September 2024

En este artículo explicamos los fundamentos teóricos y el diseño de actividades de un Proyecto Prueba de Concepto financiado por la Agencia Estatal de Investigación. En este proyecto han participado de forma colaborativa profesorado de seis universidades españolas; gestoras y educadoras de diez museos nacionales, provinciales y redes de museos; y profesorado de Educación Secundaria de tres Comunidades Autónomas. Partimos de los cambios educativos que están experimentando los museos, reinterpretando las narrativas de sus piezas, y cambiando tanto los sujetos como los relatos. Estos cambios están conectados con las nuevas tendencias en educación histórica que plantean una enseñanza de la historia basada en pensamiento histórico (análisis e interpretación de fuentes, y la simulación del método del historiador), con competencias de conciencia histórica (reflexionando sobre las conexiones entre el pasado y el presente, las narrativas alternativas, y los patrimonios controvertidos). Además, conectamos el diseño del proyecto con las corrientes historiográficas que a mediados del siglo XX cambiaron el foco de estudio desde la trayectoria política de las instituciones o de reyes o héroes nacionales, hacia la gente corriente. El resultado han sido 11 situaciones de aprendizaje que han pivotado sobre la diversidad –sexual y de género, funcional– y la desigualdad –económica, de género, minorías sociales–, así como la violencia, las migraciones o la construcción democrática y de derechos laborales en España.
palacio de los Urríes en Ayerbe (Huesca)
Authors: Nasarre Alberto
Published: September 2024

El palacio de los Urríes en Ayerbe (Huesca) es una casa solariega de época moderna que, a pesar de su valor histórico y artístico, apenas ha sido estudiada o incluso visitada, y es por tanto desconocida para los investigadores e incluso para la población local. Con este trabajo se pretende compilar, revisar y aumentar el conocimiento generado sobre este edificio y difundirlo, como uno de los pasos dentro de una serie de actividades que conduzcan a la protección del edificio, que está en un precario estado de conservación. La consulta de fuentes documentales, gráficas y bibliográficas se ha unido al análisis del edificio, para lo que se ha contado con técnicas como la fotografía y la generación de modelos 3D a partir de fotogrametría. Con todo ello se propone una datación para el inicio de la construcción que parte del único documento conservado, que tiene en cuenta las características formales del edificio, pero también el contexto histórico local, la posición social y carácter de sus promotores, sus usos, funciones y la audiencia a la que se dirige. Por otro lado, se parte del análisis de las fuentes gráficas para comprobar la evolución sufrida por el edificio en época moderna y contemporánea, especialmente aa las alteraciones del edificio original que han llevado a la configuración actual del edificio. Se ha podido comprobar efectivamente que los restos de la casa renacentista hoy forman parte de un edificio que es realmente un palimpsesto, construido en muy distintas épocas, por distintos promotores y para distintos usos. Sin embargo, también queda claro que es un edificio clave en la comprensión del desarrollo del arte del siglo XVI en la zona norte de Aragón.
Kotarbiński’s Semantic Reism
Authors: Niiniluoto Ilkka
Published: September 2024

Tadeusz Kotarbiński (1886–1981) was a prominent member of the Lvov‑Warsaw School. He is most famous as the founder of praxiology, but his contribution to ontology and semantics was significant as well. Kotarbiński introduced the doctrine of reism (in Elementy [Elements], in 1929). Ontological reism is a radical form of nominalism; it claims that there are no other objects than things or concrete individuals. Semantic reism claims that meaningful statements have to contain only concrete terms (names of things). Other terms are apparent or “onomatoids”, and they should be eliminable from meaningful statements. In his doctrine, Kotarbiński appealed to Leśniewski’s Ontology (calculus of names). He also advocated a version of the classical correspondence theory of truth (without assuming the existence of facts, states of affairs, and sets). He combined this view with his reism, which accepts physicalism (all psychic beings are physical objects). This position differed from the Vienna Circle, where the correspondence theorists (Moritz Schlick) were phenomenalists and the physicalists (Otto Neurath) supported the coherence theory.
Syntax, Semantics and Tarski’s Truth Definition
Authors: Woleński Jan
Published: September 2024

Until Tarski’s semantic truth definition, the concept of truth was used informally in metalogic (metamathematics) or even proposed to be eliminated in favour of syntactic concepts, as in Rudolf Carnap’s early programme of philosophy via logical syntax. Tarski demonstrated that the concept of truth can be defined using precise mathematical devices. If L is a language for which the truth definition is given, it must be done in the metalanguage ML. According to this construction, semantics for L must be performed in ML. The most important example concerns the arithmetic of natural numbers. According to Tarski’s theorem of undefinability, the set of truths of this theory cannot be defined in it – such a definition can be formulated in the metatheory. This fact illuminates the relation between syntax and semantics. If Th is a rich theory and presented as a syntactic theory (a calculus), its semantics is not reducible to its syntax. According to Tarski’s view, related to his work in the simple theory of types, semantics for L can be always constructed in the morphology of ML, provided that L is of the finite order. Two problems arise: what does the word “morphology” mean and how to formulate these ideas, when the framework is based on the distinction between first‑order logic and higher‑order logic. As far as the issue concerns morphology, it is possible to consider it as an extended syntax, i.e. vocabulary which does not refer to semantic concepts or defines such notions by not‑semantic, e.g. set‑theoretical, categories. If the hierarchy of logical types is replaced by the distinction of logics of various orders, in particular between first‑order and higher‑order (it is sufficient to use second‑order), it is possible to show that semantics of first‑order rich theories cannot be defined inside them.
Akt przekonania w ujęciu Jana Łukasiewicza a idiogeniczna teoria sądu
Authors: Olech Adam
Published: September 2024

The aim of this article is to provide a comparative analysis of (i) the act of belief in Jan Łukasiewicz’s conception and (ii) the act of judging in the view of idiogenic theory of judgment. According to Łukasiewicz, the act of belief is not a propositional entity, which reproduces (correctly or not) the states of affairs to which it is intentional directed. Consequently, the act of belief is not a carrier of truth but rather a feeling of reality of something to what it is directed. If one analyses Łukasiewicz’s remarks about beliefs, he would agree that the act of belief is the same as the act of judging understood within the idiogenic theory of judgment. In turn, in phenomenological terms: Łukasiewicz’s belief and idiogenic act of judging could be defined as “thetical moment” or “moment of capturing the reality” (R. Ingarden) or Setzungsmoment (E. Husserl).
Lameness of horses is effectively ameliorated with a low volume of mepivacaine administered as a palmar digital nerve block
Authors: Cole Robert C. , DeGraves Fred J. , Schumacher John , Brown Jessica
Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVE

To determine the effect of 1.5 mL 2% mepivacaine, 0.75 mL 2% mepivacaine, and a combination of 0.75 mL 2% mepivacaine with epinephrine (1:200,000 solution) administered over each palmar digital nerve (PDN) to 6 horses with naturally occurring lameness caused by digital pain.

METHODS

In a crossover study design, 6 horses with forefoot-related lameness were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups. Each group received, on different study days, a PDN block using 1.5 mL of 2% mepivacaine, 0.75 mL 2% mepivacaine, or 0.75 mL of a combination of 2% mepivacaine and epinephrine (1:200,000 solution) injected over each nerve. The horses’ gait while trotting was analyzed with an inertial, sensor-based motion-analysis system immediately before treatment. The assigned treatment was then administered to the lame forelimb, after which the gait was reevaluated at 5-minute intervals for 15 minutes.

RESULTS

All 3 treatments significantly reduced lameness scores at all gait evaluations, but the effect of treatment on the lameness score did not differ significantly among treatments.

CONCLUSIONS

0.75 mL of mepivacaine hydrochloric acid injected over each PDN was as effective as twice that volume in decreasing the lameness score of horses with digital pain. The 0.75-mL solution of mepivacaine/epinephrine injected over each nerve did not significantly improve the anesthetic effect of mepivacaine.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

For a palmar digital nerve block, a lower-than-commonly-recommended volume of 2% mepivacaine effectively ameliorates digital pain. This finding invites investigation as to whether administering a low volume of local anesthetic will more precisely localize pain.
Transcriptomic identification of genes associated with thrombosis and coagulation in lipopolysaccharide-exposed bovine monocyte-derived macrophages
Authors: Cohen Hannah R. , DeCourcey Michelle A. , Davis William C. , de Souza Cleverson
Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to investigate the differential expression of genes associated with coagulation in bovine monocyte-derived macrophages (MoMΦ) exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in vitro. We hypothesized that MoMΦ stimulated with LPS would have upregulation of procoagulant genes and downregulation of genes protecting against coagulation.

METHODS

MoMΦ were isolated from Holstein steers and exposed to Escherichia coli–derived LPS or a control for 3 hours. We used transcriptomics (RNA sequencing) to characterize the differential expression of genes associated with coagulation in the LPS-exposed MoMΦ relative to the control group.

RESULTS

1,602 genes were upregulated and 1,209 genes downregulated 3 hours after exposure to LPS. Monocyte-derived macrophages exposed to LPS displayed statistically significant upregulation of 4 proinflammatory genes, 2 anti-inflammatory genes, 8 genes involved in promoting coagulation, and 5 genes considered protective against coagulation. There was significant downregulation of 1 gene involved in the promotion of coagulation.

CONCLUSIONS

Our results showed increased expression of most genes investigated promoting and protecting against coagulation and increased expression of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory genes. These findings suggest that MoMΦ exhibit a multifaceted response in the early response to LPS, promoting and protecting against excessive coagulation. This multifaceted response highlights the interplay between different pathways involved in early sepsis.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Our data demonstrate the utility of using MoMΦ as a model system to investigate sepsis-associated coagulopathies. These insights into the early transcriptomic changes in response to LPS may help guide future research on the development of treatment modalities or diagnostic tests for patients with sepsis.

Authors: ДЫБОВСКИЙ Александр Сергеевич
Published: September 2024

The article examines language planning in Japan from the second half of the XIX century to the beginning of the XXI century. It analyzes changes in the linguistic situation, identifies the key actors of language planning, as well as legislative acts of the Japanese government that turned various elements of language planning into an organized system of state policy. Special attention is focused on the Meiji era and language reforms after World War II, when changes to the Japanese language were stimulated by powerful popular movements. At other times, as well as at present, language planning has been under strict control of the Japanese government and has been primarily limited to its language policy. Additionally, the article provides a brief overview of language planning and policy issues in Japan on occupied territories during World War II. It also highlights the key features of the contemporary linguistic situation and the current tasks of language policy and planning in Japan in the XXI century.

OBJECTIVE: Testicular torsion (TT) is a urologic emergency that may result in organ loss. The most common differential diagnosis is epididymo-orchitis (EO). The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of hematologic parameters and inflammatory markers in the differential diagnosis of TT and EO. MATERIAL and METHODS: Data obtained from complete blood counts of patients admitted to the emergency department with acute scrotum and diagnosed with TT and EO between January 2015–2024 were retrospectively evaluated. Demographic characteristics of the patients and the parameters in the complete blood counts at the time of presentation were recorded. Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and monocyte/eosinophil ratio (MER) were calculated. The groups were compared in terms of age, hematologic parameters, NLR, PLR and MER. Receiver operating characteristic and areas under the curve of the parameters found significant were determined. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analysis were used to determine the risk factors for differential diagnosis. RESULTS: A total of 149 patients were included in the study. The TT group consisted of 79 patients and the EO group consisted of 70 patients. The median age of all patients was 23 years, the median age in the TT group was 20 years, and the median age in the EO group was 23 years. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of age, lymphocyte count, monocyte count, eosinophil count, mean platelet volume (MPV), NLR and PLR (p<0.05). In multiple logistic regression analysis, only MPV value ≤9.35 was found to be an important predictive factor for the differential diagnosis of TT and EO. CONCLUSION: MPV seems to be a useful parameter in the differential diagnosis of TT and EO. In this regard, prospective, multicenter studies as well as meta-analyses with larger sample sizes should be included in guideline recommendations with their contribution to the literature. Keywords: testicular torsion, epididymo-orchitis, acute scrotum, mean platelet volume, hematological inflammatory markers

Background: We aimed to identify the environmental risk factors of stunting and developmental issues in pediatric patients. Stunting can result from a variety of environmental variables, including infections and inadequate nutrition.
Method: This review was conducted and reported in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. To perform a comprehensive literature search, we used the online databases MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and EMBASE. Our search covered articles published between 2018 and 2023 that were written in English. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) as well as prospective and retroactive cohorts were considered. Stunting and environmental risk factors were used to guide our initial thorough search of the chosen databases.
Result: Ten studies total - nine RCTs and one cross-sectional cohort - were included in our review. There was one study carried out in 2018, three in 2019, two in 2020, two in 2021, and two in 2022. The studies used a variety of interventions, such as Water, sanitation, and hygiene, Integrated cost-effective home-based package, nutritional supplements, and the delivery of antibiotics, to address hygiene, infection, and nutritional problems.
Conclusion: The bulk of implemented interventions (nutritional supplementation, sanitation and hygiene programs, and anti microbial agents) have shown good results in reducing stunting and enhancing the growth and development of children.
