Authors: Zahović Ida , Dodić Jelena , Vučurović Damjan , Bajić Bojana , Dodić Siniša , Trivunović Zorana
Published: December 2024

Xanthan is microbial polysaccharide with outstanding
rheological properties, non-toxic nature, biodegradability, and
biocompatibility. This biopolymer is widely used in food,
biomedical, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, chemical and textile
industry. Industrial xanthan production is generally conducted by
aerobic submerged cultivation of Xanthomonas campestris strains on
the media with glucose or sucrose under optimal conditions.
Results from previous research indicate that xanthan can be
successfully produced on media containing crude glycerol from
biodiesel industry by different Xanthomonas species. The aim of
this study was to examine the course of xanthan biosynthesis by
the reference strain X. campestris ATCC 13951 in lab-scale
bioreactor on medium containing crude glycerol generated in
domestic biodiesel factory. The bioprocess was monitored by the
analysis of cultivation medium samples taken in predetermined time
intervals, and its success was estimated based on the xanthan
concentration in the medium, separated biopolymer average
molecular weight and degree of nutrients conversion. At the end of
bioprocess, cultivation medium contained 12.34 g/L of xanthan with
the average molecular weight of 3.04∙105 g/mol. Within this study,
the achieved degree of glycerol, total nitrogen and total
phosphorous conversion were 75.91%, 53.27% and 38.96%,
respectively.

Authors: Újvári Gréta , Zsótér Brigitta , Veres Zoltán
Published: December 2024

Nowadays, the fitness industry has become a growing
industry alongside the nutritional supplements industry within the
food industry. Small and large companies are fighting for
consumers. They offer products tailored to different training
goals, whether sold online or offline. Companies are developing
their marketing strategies by observing consumer preferences and
habits. But do we need supplementation? Are the products on the
market safe? What do we even mean by a food supplement? Is it a
good idea to buy supplements that are in line with the latest
trends? In this study we will show whether or not supplementation
is really necessary for athletes and what determines whether it
is.
Algunas aproximaciones en torno a la noción de migración y representaciones de la otredad en la sociedad global. Análisis de dos filmes de cine contemporáneo argentino.
Authors: Barisone Ornela
Published: December 2024

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar las representaciones de la migración y la otredad en dos películas del cine argentino contemporáneo: "El cielito" (2004) de Adrián Caetano y "Bolivia" (2001) de María Victoria Menis. Se busca comprender cómo estas narrativas fílmicas construyen imaginarios sociales en torno a la migración en el contexto de la globalización. El estudio se basa en tres presupuestos teóricos principales: por un lado, el cine como objeto semiótico-cultural que reflexiona sobre los cambios sociales y culturales de la época. Por otro, las representaciones sociales entendidas como construcciones sociales que se elaboran a partir de la interacción con el entorno y que influyen en la percepción de la realidad. Finalmente, se analiza la relación entre migración y globalización, y cómo este fenómeno impacta en las identidades y los espacios sociales.
Se realiza un análisis semiótico de las dos películas, utilizando como herramientas de análisis las categorías de isotopía (la construcción de sentidos a través de la repetición de elementos y relaciones significantes) y atendiendo a la gramática fílmica (elementos narrativos y visuales que configuran el discurso fílmico).
El análisis de las películas permite identificar las siguientes representaciones de la migración y la otredad: el migrante como extranjero es un individuo que se encuentra fuera de lugar, enfrentando dificultades para adaptarse a la nueva sociedad; la otredad como amenaza, es decir, como algo peligroso o conflictivo que genera temor e incertidumbre y los espacios de exclusión, porque los migrantes en esos films son relegados a espacios marginales dentro de la sociedad.
Las películas analizadas reflejan una visión negativa de la migración y la otredad, reforzando estereotipos y prejuicios existentes en la sociedad. Se observa una tendencia a la construcción de espacios de exclusión para los migrantes, lo que dificulta su integración social.
Los resultados del estudio abren la puerta a la discusión sobre la responsabilidad del cine en la construcción de imaginarios sociales. Es necesario promover una producción cinematográfica que represente la migración de manera más diversa e inclusiva, contribuyendo a la construcción de una sociedad más tolerante y plural.
Law, Media, and Democracy in the Digital Era: Freedom of Expression and ITE Regulation in Indonesia
Authors: Ghofur Nilman
Published: December 2024

The digital era presents complexity in the discursive relationship between law, media, and democracy. This research analyzes the interconnection of these three aspects within the context of Indonesian identity. The study employs a literature review approach utilizing the framework of media discourse, focusing on three key areas: agenda setting, framing, and gatekeeping. Data sources include Article 28 of the 1945 Constitution and several articles within the ITE Law. The research reveals that in the practical application of law, media plays a significant role in conveying information and even shaping citizens' understanding of democracy. Several key findings surfaced from this investigation. Firstly, agenda-setting informs the public about the crucial significance of these matters within democracy. Secondly, by utilizing framing discourse, the media can influence public sentiment, whether by underscoring the importance of safeguarding privacy or portraying internet regulations as impeding freedom of expression. Lastly, this study unveiled how media organizations wield substantial control over the topics covered, thus determining what garners public attention. This control not only directs the agenda but also shapes public perceptions of laws related to democracy, underscoring the profound influence of media on societal comprehension.
Era digital menampilkan kompleksitas dalam hubungan diskursif antara hukum, media, dan demokrasi. Penelitian ini menganalisis keterkaitan ketiga aspek tersebut dalam konteks keindonesiaan. Studi ini menggunakan pendekatan tinjauan pustaka dengan memanfaatkan kerangka wacana media, dengan fokus pada tiga area kunci: penentuan agenda, pembentukan narasi, dan pengaturan akses informasi. Sumber data meliputi Pasal 28 Undang-Undang Dasar 1945 dan beberapa pasal terkait dengan konten internet, cyberbullying dan ujaran kebencian dalam Undang-Undang ITE. Penelitian ini mengungkap bahwa dalam praktik penerapan hukum, media memainkan peran yang signifikan dalam menyampaikan informasi bahkan membentuk pemahaman warga negara tentang demokrasi. Beberapa temuan utama muncul dari penelitian ini. Pertama, penentuan agenda berfungsi untuk memberi informasi kepada publik tentang pentingnya masalah-masalah ini dalam ranah demokrasi. Kedua, dengan menggunakan wacana pembentukan narasi, media dapat memengaruhi opini publik, baik dengan menekankan pentingnya perlindungan privasi maupun menggambarkan regulasi internet sebagai batasan kebebasan berekspresi. Terakhir, penelitian ini mengungkap bagaimana organisasi media memiliki kendali yang signifikan atas topik-topik yang dibahas sehingga menentukan apa yang menarik perhatian publik. Kendali ini tidak hanya mengarahkan agenda, tetapi juga membentuk persepsi publik tentang hukum-hukum terkait demokrasi, menegaskan pengaruh mendalam media dalam pemahaman masyarakat.
The Integration-Interconnection Paradigm in Islamic Law: Al-Syatibi’s Thought in Al-Muwafaqat
Authors: Mashduqi Muhammad Anis
Published: December 2024

The study of Islamic law has tend to focus on the textual approach and often neglects its interaction with rational sciences. Al-Syatibi’s thought in Al-Muwafaqat offers a new paradigm that combines textual analysis with social reality through the maqasid al-shari’ah approach. However, previous academic studies have not specifically explored how Al-Syatibi’s ideas can be a methodological foundation for the integration-interconnection paradigm. This research uses a text analysis method with a historical-critical and contextual approach to Al-Muwafaqat and related literature. The data is analyzed to understand the relationship between textual and rational epistemology in the study of Islamic law. Al-Syatibi emphasized the importance of the rational-empirical approach in the investigation of Islamic jurisprudence. According to him, the study of Islamic law must involve textual methodology (al-ijtihad fi al-nash) and rational-empirical methodology (al-ijtihad fi al-waqi’). The idea expressed by Al-Syatibi can be interpreted as legitimizing the importance of an integrated and interconnected paradigm in Islamic studies, which includes the field of Islamic law. This study emphasizes that integrating social science, economics, and science in the analysis of Islamic law can answer epistemological and contextual challenges.
Kajian hukum Islam selama ini cenderung terfokus pada pendekatan tekstual dan sering diabaikan integrasinya dengan ilmu-ilmu rasional. Pemikiran Al-Syatibi dalam Al-Muwafaqat menawarkan paradigma baru yang menggabungkan analisis teks dengan realitas sosial melalui pendekatan maqasid al-shari’ah. Namun, kajian akademik sebelumnya belum secara spesifik mengeksplorasi bagaimana gagasan Al-Syatibi dapat menjadi landasan metodologis untuk paradigma integrasi-interkoneksi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis teks dengan pendekatan historis-kritis dan kontekstual terhadap Al-Muwafaqat serta literatur terkait. Data dianalisis untuk memahami hubungan antara epistemologi tekstual dan rasional dalam studi hukum Islam. Al-Syatibi menekankan pentingnya pendekatan rasional-empiris dalam penyelidikan yurisprudensi Islam. Menurutnya, studi hukum Islam harus melibatkan metodologi tekstual (al-ijtihad fi al-nash) dan metodologi rasional-empiris (al-ijtihad fi al-waqi’). Gagasan yang diungkapkan oleh Al-Syatibi dapat diartikan sebagai legitimasi pentingnya paradigma yang terintegrasi dan terinterkoneksi dalam studi Islam, yang meliputi bidang hukum Islam. Studi ini menekankan bahwa pengintegrasian ilmu sosial, ekonomi, dan sains dalam analisis hukum Islam dapat menjawab tantangan epistemologis dan kontekstual.
L’apport de la pratique prudentielle à l’institutionnalisation de la communication
Authors: Cotton Anne-Marie
Published: December 2024

Dans le cadre des théories néo-institutionnelles (DiMaggio et Powell, 1991 ; North, 2005 ; Scott, 2001), l’article analyse les dimensions de crédibilité et de légitimité des professionnel·les de la communication en organisation. L’objectif est de voir si elles permettent de dresser un parallèle entre la profession « à pratique prudentielle » (Champy, 2011) dont les activités sont liées au traitement de problèmes complexes, singuliers et à caractère incertain, ce qui empêche de les formaliser (Champy, 2014), et la profession exercée par le/la professionnel·le de la communication dans les organisations. Quarante-cinq communicant·es belges ayant au minimum cinq ans d’expérience ont partagé leurs expériences professionnelles par le biais du récit de vie (Bertaux, 1997). Les différents niveaux d’analyse successifs du corpus dévoilent la réalité du contexte organisationnel, celle des trajectoires professionnelles et celle du récit. L’article souligne l’apport de la professionnalisation qui permet aux communicant·es d’élargir leur potentiel d’efficacité (Sharpe, 2000 ; Sinaga et Callison, 2008) en optimisant leur réflexion délibérative, soulignant par leur prudence leur engagement organisationnel (Champy 2014 ; Maas et Domenget, 2018).
Communiquer sur la diversité et communiquer la diversité
Authors: Baillargeon Dany , Bizien Tanguy , Brulois Vincent , Millette Josianne , Seurrat Aude , Yao-Baglo Namoin
Published: December 2024

Les enjeux de l’équité, de la diversité et de l’inclusion (EDI) apportent de nouvelles configurations socioprofessionnelles dans les organisations, favorisant une plus grande sensibilité aux discriminations, un accès plus équitable à l’emploi, tout en enrichissant les perspectives par lesquelles les organisations peuvent remplir leur mission. Or cette intégration n’est pas aisée et les valeurs sous-jacentes sont peu connues, mal comprises, voire décriées. Aussi nous ne pouvons traiter des enjeux EDI sans considérer leur dimension communicationnelle. Cet article rend compte d’une journée d’études intersectorielle (association, recherche, organisation) coorganisée par le RESIPROC et l’AFMD et intitulée « La professionnalisation en communication au prisme de la diversité ». Nous présentons dans cet article les quatre enjeux codéveloppés durant cette journée, qui sont autant d’orientations de recherche : 1) la façon de définir la diversité, 2) la sensibilité nécessaire à son intégration, 3) les outils de mesure de la diversité et 4) l’intégration de l’EDI dans les cursus de formation. Pour chaque thème, nous relevons les défis et les perspectives auxquels font face les personnes communicatrices.

A systematic literature review of attitudes, intentions and behaviours of teaching academics pertaining to AI and generative AI (GenAI) in higher education: An analysis of GenAI adoption using the UTAUT framework
Authors: Nikolic Sasha , Wentworth Isabelle , Sheridan Lynn , Moss Simon , Duursma Elisabeth , Jones Rachel A , Ros Montserrat , Middleton Rebekkah
Published: December 2024

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has outpaced existing research and regulatory frameworks in higher education, leading to varied institutional responses. Although some educators and institutions have embraced AI and generative AI (GenAI), other individuals remain cautious. This systematic literature review explored teaching academics' attitudes, perceptions and intentions towards AI and GenAI, identifying perceived benefits and obstacles. Utilising the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology framework, this study reveals positive attitudes towards AI's efficiency and teaching enhancement, but also significant concerns about academic integrity, accuracy, reliability, skill development and the need for comprehensive training and policies. These findings underscore the necessity for institutional support to navigate the integration of AI and GenAI in tertiary education.
 
Implications for practice or policy:

Attitudes towards AI and GenAI integration are diverse with educators recognising benefits but raising ethical and practical concerns. These concerns indicate a need for a more comprehensive understanding and dialogue within academic communities.
Academics' intentions to use these technologies are contingent upon the development of robust ethical guidelines and supportive institutional policies.
Institutional support and training shape behaviours. The scarcity of formal training, systematic guidelines and policy frameworks currently limits effective integration.

Digitalization of public consultations in rural municipalities of the Wielkopolskie Voivodship
Authors: Glenc Piotr
Published: December 2024

The development of e-participation and e-consultations is particularly characteristic of large cities, which is why researchers tend to focus on larger urban areas. This article adopts a different perspective. It presents the results of research aimed at identifying digital solutions used in public consultations in rural municipalities of the Wielkopolskie Voivodship (Poland), as well as determining the extent to which these solutions have been disseminated. An analysis was conducted on the resolutions adopted by individual municipalities that define the principles and procedures for conducting consultations with residents. The results indicate that the investigated municipalities declare the use of only a small fraction of the broad range of tools developed thus far in the field of e-consultations. Among the various stages of public consultation, the fewest opportunities for using digital solutions exist at the stage of submitting a request to hold a consultation process. Noteworthy is the limited use of mobile applications and social media, as well as the absence of declarations regarding the use of artificial intelligence solutions, which today offer significant opportunities for improving both the consultation process itself and the analysis of its results. Additionally, the study shows that in some municipalities more electronic communication channels are used at the stage of informing about ordered consultation than at announcing its outcomes.
50-lecie Olimpiady Geograficznej w poznańskim ośrodku geograficznym
Authors: Kostrzewski Andrzej , Piotrowska Iwona , Kozubek Dawid , Paluszkiewicz Maria , Cierniak Adrian
Published: December 2024

Olimpiada Geograficzna organizowana od 1974 r. na poziomie szkolnym, okręgowym i centralnym, a od 1996 r. także międzynarodowym jako Międzynarodowa Olimpiada Geograficzna, od 2014 r. jako Bałtycka Olimpiada Geograficzna, jest bardzo ważnym wydarzeniem w rozwoju geografii w Polsce. Stanowi istotne ogniwo kształcenia geograficznego, przyszłych studentów i pracowników naukowych, a także pracowników w różnych jednostkach życia społecznego, gospodarczego i politycznego. Koncepcja Olimpiady Geograficznej jest powiązana z działalnością Polskiego Towarzystwa Geograficznego, które łączy pracowników naukowych, nauczycieli geografii i uczniów w pracach na rzecz systemu nauki i edukacji geograficznej. W artykule omówiono indywidualność naukową i dydaktyczną poznańskiego ośrodka geograficznego Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, koncepcję Olimpiady Geograficznej oraz podstawowe jej cele. Przedstawiono 50 lat funkcjonowania zawodów okręgowych Olimpiady Geograficznej w Poznaniu, akcentując wybraną problematykę, do której zaliczono: zasięg przestrzenny etapu okręgowego, skład komitetu organizującego zawody okręgowe, podkreślając funkcje i zadania oraz udział szkół, uczniów i nauczycieli. Omówiono wyniki zawodów oraz zamieszczono wspomnienia finalistów i laureatów. Zwrócono uwagę na znaczenie efektów Olimpiady Geograficznej w Poznaniu w procesie kształcenia geografów oraz w promocji geografii w społeczeństwie. W latach 70. i 80. XX w. zawody okręgowe organizowane były nie tylko w Poznaniu, ale także w różnych szkołach na terenie Wielkopolski. Taka organizacja powszechnie była akceptowana, pozwalała uczniom oraz nauczycielom zapoznawać się ze zróżnicowaniem krajobrazowym Wielkopolski.
Wyzwania i perspektywy geografii społeczno- ekonomicznej i gospodarki przestrzennej
Authors: Czasopisma Redakcja
Published: December 2024

Punktem zwrotnym w rozwoju  geografii w Polsce było wydzielenie w 2018 r. geografii społeczno-ekonomicznej i gospodarki przestrzennej jako dyscypliny naukowej w dziedzinie  nauk  społecznych, z jednoczesnym przyporządkowaniem geografii fizycznej do dyscypliny nauki o Ziemi i środowisku  w  dziedzinie  nauk  ścisłych i przyrodniczych. Stworzyło to szanse, ale i zagrożenia, zarówno dla nowej dyscypliny, jak i dyscyplin pokrewnych. Kwestie takie, jak integralność geografii społeczno-ekonomicznej i gospodarki przestrzennej, jej miejsce w naukach społecznych, relacje z innymi dyscyplinami społecznymi, zakres integracji z geografią fizyczną i skutki tego procesu dla rozwoju całej geografii czy wreszcie instytucjonalne aspekty funkcjonowania nowej dyscypliny, to najważniejsze problemy, wobec których stanęła nowa dyscyplina.
『蜻蛉日記』における夢 [Dreams in The Gossamer Years]
Authors: Sonoyama Senri
Published: December 2024

Science has yet to resolve many mysteries about dreams, such as why people dream and how dreams are created. Therefore, dreams are categorized as beyond imagination, different from reality. When dreams are expressed in the form of literature, they take on a more fantastic atmosphere. In this article, I focus on dreams in ancient times and consider what it means to use dreams as the subject matter of literature. There have already been many prominent studies on dreams in ancient times, including Saigō Nobutsuna’s Ancient People and Dreams (Heibonsha, 1993). Utilizing these studies, I focus on the Kagerō Nikki (The Gossamer Years). I conclude that the four waka poems about ‘dreams’ in The Gossamer Years were an exchange with Tōshi, a person she could truly trust, and that for Michitsuna-no haha they symbolised a peaceful life in the real world.
Electrorheological characterization of complex fluids used in electrohydrodynamic processes: Technical issues and challenges
Authors: Rijo Pedro C. , Galindo-Rosales Francisco J.
Published: December 2024

The electrorheological (ER) characterization of low-viscosity fluids is paramount for producing micro- and nanoscale products through electrohydrodynamic (EHD) techniques, such as EHD-jet printing, electrospray, and electrospinning. Key properties such as viscosity, surface tension, dielectric properties, electrical conductivity, and relaxation time significantly influence both the quality and properties of the final products and the efficiency of the industrial process. ER characterization is essential for studying the macroscopic effects of the interaction between these physicochemical properties under controlled flow kinematics. Researchers may face several technical challenges in performing rigorous ER characterization of moderate conductive fluids typically used in EHD processes. This characterization is crucial for formulating inks compatible with these processes and for understanding fluid dynamics in EHD processes to ensure stable printing conditions and achieve high-resolution, accurate prints. This work highlights the inherent limitations of current ER cells and proposes methodologies to mitigate their impact on measurement accuracy. Furthermore, we propose the use of microfluidic devices as a solution for the ER characterization of moderate conductive fluids.

Published: December 2024

Hebei University of Science and Technology (HEBUST) actively carries out chemical ethics education practices and incorporates chemical ethics modules into the curriculum, aiming to improve students’ morality, responsibility, knowledge and skills. In the teaching of basic courses, relevant content of chemical ethics is introduced to guide students to think about the ethics of chemical. At the same time, the university has built a diversified practical platform and organized students to participate in laboratory research projects. HEBUST invites enterprise engineers to give lectures and carry out “practical month” activities. The design homework of senior students also incorporates ethical considerations to cultivate students’ ability to practice ethical principles in actual engineering. In addition, the school also invited retired experts from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) to give lectures. The relevant majors have passed the Washington Accord certification and the certification of the China Engineering Education Professional Certification Association. External supervision has promoted the continuous deepening of the reform of chemical ethics education. Therefore, HEBUST has provided an effective example for cultivating chemically and engineering-talented people with social responsibility and also provided a reference for other colleges and universities to carry out chemical ethics education.
Governance in Crisis. Examining the Role of TSOs in Asylum Seekers Reception in France and Italy
Authors: Trasciani Giorgia
Published: December 2024

Although third sector organizations (TSOs) played a vital role in supporting public authorities during the European migration crisis, their involvement in governance structures remains underexplored. This paper examines the evolving relationships between TSOs and public authorities in this sector, focussing on the governance shifts triggered by the crisis. By comparing Italy and France – two countries with distinct roles and responses – the study reveals a convergence in their crisis management strategies and the resulting impact on TSOs. Despite initial differences, both nations experienced a marketization of relations, transforming service provision and governance models. This paper analyzes the mechanisms regulating the crisis and their effects on the roles and interactions of key actors. The comparative analysis underscores a broader trend toward the normalization of crisis response systems, providing critical insights into the future of governance models in migration management.
Assessing the soil physical and chemical properties of long-term pomelo orchard based on tree growth
Authors: Linh Tran Ba , Thang La Cao , Khoi Chau Minh , Phuong Nguyen Thi Kim , Thuc Le Vinh
Published: December 2024

The investigation in three groups of pomelo trees (good, average, bad) was conducted. Each group included 15 orchards. The number of soil samples collected for analysis is 15 samples × 2 depths (0–15 cm and 15–30 cm) × 3 groups of plants = 90 soil samples. The results indicated that the soil texture of the good pomelo orchard group and the average pomelo orchard group is silty clay loam, and the bad pomelo orchard group has a silty clay. The average pH value in the bad pomelo orchard group is lower than the average pomelo orchard group and the good pomelo orchard group at both soil depths of 0–15 cm and 15–30 cm. The soil EC of the three groups of pomelo orchards is not different at depths of 0–15 cm and 15–30 cm and does not affect the plants. The average organic matter content at both soil depths 0–15 cm and 15–30 cm of the good pomelo orchard group shows the highest organic matter value. Soil bulk density in the group of bad pomelo orchards had the highest value at both depths of 0–15 cm and 15–30 cm. The porosity of the good pomelo orchard group has the highest value at two depths, 0–15 cm and 15–30 cm. Field capacity of good pomelo orchards have the highest values at both depths of 0–15 cm and 15–30 cm. The K

Interplay of cell death pathways and immune responses in ischemic stroke: insights into novel biomarkers
Authors: Daneshpour Arian , Shaka Zoha , Rezaei Nima
Published: December 2024

Stroke is a severe neurological disease and a major worldwide issue, mostly manifesting as ischemic stroke (IS). In order to create effective treatments for IS, it is imperative to fully understand the underlying pathologies, as the existing therapeutic choices are inadequate. Recent investigations have shown the complex relationships between several programmed cell death (PCD) pathways, including necroptosis, ferroptosis, and pyroptosis, and their correlation with immune responses during IS. However, this relationship is still unclear. To address this gap, this review study explored the cellular interactions in the immune microenvironment of IS. Then, to validate prior findings and uncover biomarkers, the study investigated bioinformatics studies. Several pathways, including nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), and receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIPK), were involved in PCD-immune interactions. The bioinformatics studies reported key biomarkers such as glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), gasdermin D (GSDMD), and TLR4, which have important implications in ferroptosis, cuproptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis respectively. These biomarkers were associated with PCD mechanisms such as oxidative stress and inflammatory reactions. The immune infiltration analysis consistently revealed a significant correlation between PCD pathways and detrimental immune cells, such as neutrophils and γδ T cells. Conversely, M2 macrophages and T helper cells showed protective effects. In conclusion, considering the intricate network of interactions between immune responses and PCD pathways, this study emphasized the necessity of a paradigm shift in therapeutic approaches to address the injuries that are related to this complex network.
Dynamic Panel Threshold Spatial Durbin Model with an Application to the Relationship between Financial Development and Green Growth
Authors: Wei Lili , Zhang Chunli
Published: December 2024

This paper studies computation, estimation, inference and specification testing in dynamic panel threshold spatial Durbin (DPTSD) model with multiple thresholds. We first develop a new Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) based algorithm to jointly estimate the threshold parameters and simultaneously construct the confidence intervals for the parameters, after suggesting a within-group spatial two-stage least squares estimator. We then construct test statistics for threshold effect and the number of thresholds. Monte Carlo experiments indicate that the proposed estimator and tests have desired performance in finite samples. We finally apply the DPTSD model to investigate the relationship between financial development and green growth, and find that the empirical results based on the DPTSD model are quite different from these based on the dynamic panel threshold model.
El silencio como rasgo: el shhhhtereotipo del bibliotecólogo en la construcción de la identidad de la profesión
Authors: Fuster Yanet
Published: December 2024

Teniendo en cuenta el proceso de construcción de las identidades, en el caso de la del bibliotecólogo ha jugado muy fuertemente el mantenimiento de ciertos estereotipos que han persistido por generaciones y que, según mi punto de vista, han afectado a nuestro trabajo, a la carrera y al desarrollo de la profesión. Intentaré explicar através de este recorrido porqué considero que el silencio transversaliza las creencias sobre la disciplina y ha permeado en su construcción identitaria respecto a cómo nos ven los otros, como nos vemos nosotros y a lo que hacemos para cambiar la realidad. En este trabajo aludiré al concepto de reconocimiento y también al de invisibilidad como no participación en un sentido social, buscando problematizar el planteo, pues considero que el auto-reconocimiento se da en función del reconocimiento de los otros que hemos internalizado. Me referiré al silencio como invisibilidad a la hora de darnos a conocer en diversos ámbitos en los cuales nuestra presencia como profesionales de la información podría aportar y agregar valor al desarrollo de una idea o de un proyecto. Presentaré la noción de estereotipo en relación a la bibliotecología efectuando un recorrido por aquellos hitos que ayudaron en la construcción de la disciplina, intentando explicar en qué sentido ellos contribuyen a la fijación de ideas en el imaginario y a la persistencia del silencio.
Práticas discursivas sobre a sexualidade na escola: identidade em (des)construção
Authors: Nogueira Alves André
Published: December 2024

A escola é o espaço adequado à discussão sobre as questões de gêneroe diversidade sexual e suas respectivas identidades. O que ocorre forade seus muros também se reproduz em seu interior. Assim osestudantes explicitam seus anseios e contrariedades e, muitas vezes,valem-se do próprio corpo para manifestar seus desejos, que, paraalguns, são negados pela heteronormatividade compulsória. Essasituação também encontra espaço entre os docentes que nãoreceberam ou buscaram a capacitação para estabelecer um debatesaudável em relação a gênero e à diversidade sexual. O silenciamentosobre a perspectiva de gênero gera a manutenção daheteronormatividade e da homolesbotransbifobia, que faz com que oBrasil seja campeão de assassinatos de pessoas travestis e trangêneros.A ausência dessa temática, nessa perspectiva, mantém as relações degênero engessadas no modelo binário, que aceita práticas específicasde manifestação da sexualidade, negando as demais possibilidades.Quando a escola silencia a discussão de gênero e diversidade sexual, elaadere à manutenção das práticas de violência: da simbólica à física. Assituações de violência de gênero e diversidade sexual fazem parte docotidiano escolar como qualquer outra forma de violência, mas não.costumam receber a mesma atenção. Mesmo que essa intenção nãoseja proposital, sua ocorrência é material.
Ser docente de lengua en aulas de frontera

La frontera entre Uruguay y Brasil en las ciudades de Rivera yLivramento presenta características particulares por tratarse de unaconurbación en la que los límites resultan, desde todo punto de vista,borrosos. Los docentes uruguayos que se desempeñan en los distintossubsistemas de la educación pública en esta frontera se encuentran enuna situación en la que deben dar respuesta a los lineamientosprogramáticos centralistas que no atienden la realidad. De esta manera,se enfrentan, sin elementos teóricos ni preparación específica, a lascontradicciones de un sistema educativo que les exige enseñar comolengua materna la que las más de las veces es la segunda lengua de lacomunidad y que en los hogares más desfavorecidos está ausente. Seles presentan, entonces, problemas para conciliar lo que se les exigecon lo que intuyen que deberían hacer y lo que efectivamente terminanhaciendo en las aulas, en virtud de las limitaciones que el contexto lesdepara. Sus discursos oscilan entre lo que consideran políticamentecorrecto, las fundamentaciones de los programas y sus intuicionescomo hablantes de esta comunidad. Lo que se expone en este trabajoson avances de una investigación sobre las creencias de los docentesfronterizos que tienen a su cargo cursos de lengua, tanto español comoportugués.
Contributions of Attention to Learning in Multidimensional Reward Environments
Authors: Wang Michael Chong , Soltani Alireza
Published: December 2024

Real-world choice options have many features or attributes, whereas the reward outcome from those options only depends on a few features or attributes. It has been shown that humans learn and combine feature-based with more complex conjunction-based learning to tackle challenges of learning in naturalistic reward environments. However, it remains unclear how different learning strategies interact to determine what features or conjunctions should be attended to and control choice behavior, and how subsequent attentional modulations influence future learning and choice. To address these questions, we examined the behavior of male and female human participants during a three-dimensional learning task in which reward outcomes for different stimuli could be predicted based on a combination of an informative feature and conjunction. Using multiple approaches, we found that both choice behavior and reward probabilities estimated by participants were most accurately described by attention-modulated models that learned the predictive values of both the informative feature and the informative conjunction. Specifically, in the reinforcement learning model that best fit choice data, attention was controlled by the difference in the integrated feature and conjunction values. The resulting attention weights modulated learning by increasing the learning rate on attended features and conjunctions. Critically, modulating decision-making by attention weights did not improve the fit of data, providing little evidence for direct attentional effects on choice. These results suggest that in multidimensional environments, humans direct their attention not only to selectively process reward-predictive attributes but also to find parsimonious representations of the reward contingencies for more efficient learning.
Home as a Space, Not a Place
Authors: Woodruffe Anjuliet G.
Published: December 2024

In this essay, I theorize home as a space not a place as a Trinidadian transnational woman who engages in a communicative process of self-negotiation to (re)think, (re)imagine, and (re)construct home while living in the United States. In trying to re-create home away from homeland, home exists as an amalgam of life experiences, memories, and emotions while living in-between liminal, third spaces. Using poetic critical autoethnography in the form of a bio-poem, I offer a perspective on the affective entanglements of home on diasporic bodies where home becomes a shifting locus of identification that travels with/in as sacred, embodied (re)memory.
Working 9 to 5, Barely Getting By
Authors: Burroway Rebekah , Shorette Kristen
Published: December 2024

Improving women’s employment prospects has long been a goal of development agencies worldwide. Despite persistent gender gaps in labor force participation, women’s employment is heralded as a key mechanism for improving health and well-being. Yet, empirical evidence for the link between women’s work and child health is mixed. We examine the relationship between work and health from a cross-national and distributional perspective. More specifically, we estimate the impact of female labor force participation on infant mortality rates across 148 countries from 1990 to 2016 using unconditional quantile regression analysis. This technique allows for the possibility that the relationship between work and health may vary with level of mortality. Indeed, we find that the benefits of women’s labor force participation for child health are limited to the lowest end of the distribution, where infant mortality rates range from about 3.9 to 6.7 per 1,000 live births. In contrast, labor force participation seems to have a detrimental impact on infant mortality in some cases and no significant impact in many other cases. The results underscore previous cautions against taking a one-size-fits-all approach to development and suggest that promoting employment will not necessarily improve child health unless vulnerabilities in women’s work are addressed.
When Data “Screams,” Women Speak with Their Own Voices
Authors: Skórzyńska Izabela
Published: December 2024

This is an extended review of Violence and Gender Disparities against Women: A Global Scenario, edited by Anupama Vohra, Jasbir Singh, Parveen Kumari, and Barbara Wejnert (Punjab, India: White Falcon, 2022), considering the multicultural and multi-perspective nature of its authors’ research on gender disparities violence and against women and girls.

The Western perspective on this pressing problem, dominant in public discourse, desensitizes us to the historical and socio-cultural aspects of violence against women and girls and its local specificity. The reviewed book is an attempt to expand this perspective to the Asian countries in a glocal approach, the result of collectively conducted and presented research effects “from home.” Thus the book is the result of mapping the issues related to violence against women and girls different regions of the world. It is also an interventionist publication that points out what we as societies still have to do to address gender violence.
