La divulgación de los estudios históricos contemporáneos en la era digital (los formatos textuales y audiovisuales)
Authors: Abreu Colombri José Antonio
Published: December 2024

In general, for several decades, cultural content has been designed using transmedia criteria. At present, due to the multiplication of digital channels and formats, there is a notable increase in content (textual and audiovisual) related to contemporary historical studies. The new trends in the dissemination of knowledge are greatly modifying the ways of narrating the events of the past and, in turn, are conditioned by variables as complex as the motivations of producers, the supervision of the academic world, institutional patronage, et cetera. In short, the interview with Professor Paolo Raspadori aims to reflect on key issues related to the rigor of documentation methods, narrative revisionism, the popularity of fiction genres, the influence of the dominant ideology and the analysis of indices of consumption in an increasingly diversified, globalized and interconnected cultural market.

Published: December 2024

In this work, a mathematical analysis carried out by an advanced statistical approach using the JMP software was adopted to deal with a complex problem involving several parameters. This method was applied to optimize the thermal insulation characteristics of a biocomposite. Following a precisely designed experimental program, the study focuses on analyzing the impact of different concentrations of treated date palm fibers (DPFT) on the thermophysical and mechanical properties of composite materials. The samples were prepared with different weight percentages of date palm fibers (0% to 20%), treated with NaOH and having a fiber length of 7 cm. Water absorption, density, flexural and compressive strength, thermal conductivity and diffusivity were taken into account. The results indicate that the incorporation of treated fibers has a beneficial effect on the thermal, mechanical and physical properties of the composite compared to the use of raw fibers. Additionally, higher proportions of DPF result in decreased thermal conductivity, diffusivity, and flexural and compressive strength, highlighting the positive impact of DPFT on the thermophysical and mechanical attributes of the composite.

Authors: Wijaya Catherine Surya , Nasution Sri Wahyuni , Fadillah Qori
Published: December 2024

Skabies adalah penyakit kulit yang disebabkan oleh infeksi ektoparasit, yaitu tungau Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis. Tungau ini termasuk dalam filum Arthropoda, kelas Arachnida, dan ordo Acarina. Penyakit ini sering ditemukan pada komunitas, kelompok, atau keluarga yang tinggal di lingkungan padat penduduk, dengan tingkat ekonomi rendah dan pengetahuan kesehatan yang terbatas. Infeksi skabies biasanya terjadi akibat kontak langsung kulit ke kulit atau melalui transmisi tungau yang menempel pada pakaian, selimut, atau handuk. Skabies menyebar secara global dengan prevalensi yang diperkirakan menyerang antara 200 hingga 400 juta orang per tahun. Gejala khas dari skabies adalah rasa gatal, terutama pada malam hari, dengan wajah dan leher yang umumnya tidak terlibat. Ciri khas lainnya adalah adanya terowongan yang kadang tidak selalu terlihat. Masa inkubasi penyakit ini adalah sekitar 4-6 minggu sebelum gejala muncul. Setiap individu yang didiagnosis dengan skabies, serta mereka yang melakukan kontak fisik dengan penderita, harus mendapatkan pengobatan meskipun tidak menunjukkan gejala. Pemeliharaan kebersihan pribadi sangat penting untuk menjaga status kesehatan, di mana individu secara aktif menjaga kebersihan diri dan mencegah terjadinya penyakit.

Authors:   University of Silesia, Katowice, Poland, Kyuchukov Hristo , Kwadrans Lukasz ,   University of Silesia, Katowice, Poland
Published: December 2024

The paper presents results from a survey with Muslim Roma from North Macedonia and Cyprus. Both language groups are multilingual: the North Macedonian Roma speak 4 languages and the Cypriot Roma – 3 languages in their everyday communication. The aim of the study is to find out which the dominant language among the two groups is and how they identify themselves. The authors’ hypothesis is that there will be a linguicism to the speakers of Romani in both countries, however this hypothesis was not confirmed. Most of the respondents in the study identify as Roma although some of them have Turkish as a mother tongue.

Authors:   St. Kliment Ohridski University of Sofia, Voynova Katerina
Published: December 2024

The paper focuses on the most characteristic features in the speech of sports analysts. For this purpose, the sports section in the radio program “Darik Kafe” was analyzed. Special attention is paid to the lexical specifics in the speech of football analysts. The results of the analysis confirm the hypothesis that sports news uses vocabulary typical of colloquial speech. The comments resemble a conversation between friends, and the increased use of phraseology, clichés and allusions contributes to this.
Transformation of an impersonal predicative construction in the speech of citizens from the region of Yambol
Authors:   St. Cyril and St. Methodius University of Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria, Radeva Niya
Published: December 2024

The analysis focuses on a regional variant of an impersonal- predicative construction of the type strah me e (beshe) (I am/was afraid in English). The citizens from the region of Yambol use the variant stra(h)sheme. It is a contamination of the noun and the 3rd person singular form of the auxiliary verb sam (to be in English) most often in the imperfective aspect. The phenomenon occurs only in the literary model with a short form of a personal pronoun in the accusative case. The semantically corresponding personal verbs are always reflexive – strahuvam se (I’m afraid in English). The phenomenon was noticed by I. Kochev in the 1960s in Sliven and in three villages to the east and southeast of Yambol. It is defined as a hypostasis. I add examples from the speech of people born in two other villages to the south and southwest of the town of Yambol. They confirm the examples found so far and show diversity with respect to some grammatical categories. I draw some conclusions about the nature of the transformation, its territorial distribution and sustainability.

Monetary Policy and Economic Stability: a DSGE Approach to Trend Inflation in Morocco
Authors:   Ibn Tofail University, Kenitra, Morocco, El Ouazzani Hicham , Ouakil Hicham , Moustabchir Abdelhamid
Published: December 2024

This article explores the impact of trend inflation on monetary policy under a higher inflation target. Adding trend inflation to DSGE models helps us understand the inflation gap better; the gap is less persistent when it is measured as a deviation from trend instead of as a constant average. A high inflation target is likely to overshoot unless the monetary authorities adopt restrictive measures to keep output below its deterministic equilibrium. Indeed, Bank Al-Maghrib raised its key rate by 0.25 percentage points to achieve an inflation rate of 2%, underscoring the importance of maintaining this trajectory. The study identifies key policy implications: higher trend inflation destabilizes expectations, forcing monetary policy to react more to inflation deviations and less to output gaps in high-target environments. These conclusions hold for different parameterizations and specifications of the Taylor rule (backward-looking, forward-looking, and inertial). In addition, Taylor rules based on output growth rather than output gaps widen the zone of determinism, making it easier to adopt a single reference value.
Cost and profit efficiency of MENA banking sector: Influence of structural factors
Authors: AYACHI Kaïs , GASSOUMA MOHAMED SADOK , CHICHTI JAMELEDDINE
Published: December 2024

This paper aims to provide empirical evidence on the impact of different endogenous  and exogenous factors as well as the 2011 Arab Revolution effect on bank efficiency in terms of cost and profit in the MENA region, taking into account the difference in economic development level between the selected countries. We have conducted a cross-country analysis requiring that factors specific to the various selected countries such as macroeconomic conditions, market structure, financial development, capital openness, Bank risk-taking, regulatory measures, institutional quality, and deposit insurance system be taken into consideration. In order to properly carry out our empirical investigation, we have opted for the methodology put forward by Battese & Coelli (1995). Our analysis is conducted through the application of data related to a sample of 198 commercial banks operating in 10 MENA countries between 2000 and 2014. The main results of our research show that the mean cost efficiency is far more important than profit efficiency (82.52% as against 44.96%) and the Arab Revolution has only an effect on countries affected by this event leading to a fall of cost efficiency and convex form of profit efficiency. In addition, we notice that bank inefficiency in high and middle-income countries can be managed by capital openness, market concentration, inflation, inter-banking interest rate, market concentration, economic growth and good institutional quality. In contrast, market discipline driven by private control and monetary policy provided by government interest rate on bond yield can solve inefficiency only in the high-income countries.
DO SURCHARGES INFLUENCE OUR CHOICE OF PAYMENT INSTRUMENT? THEORY AND EVIDENCE
Authors: Bruno KAROUBI
Published: December 2024

Cash withdrawals effected at an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) external to the network of the bank of the cardholder incur a surcharge fee. We investigate whether surcharges impact cash withdrawals and the use of bank card. We develop a toy theoretical model that takes into account both the heterogeneity of cash preference relative to card and the heterogeneity of the disutility of nypassing surcharges by moving to an ATM that belongs to the cardholder’s bank. We find that cardholders withdraw greater amounts more often at such ATMs when surcharges are implemented. Surcharges do not influence the amount of card transactions, unless the fee is sufficiently high relative to the inconvenience of cash holding. We also conduct an empirical analysis focusing on the French case. Most French banks implemented surcharge fees quasi-simultaneously, immediately after the enactement of a European Commission regulation (EC 2560/2001), making it easier to evaluate the impact of the fee. Exploiting a unique database originating from the French Automated Clearing House, we find a structural break in the number of withdrawals of non depositors and in the corresponding average amount. Consistent with the theoretical analysis, we find no evidence of a structural break in the amount of card transactions. Based on our results, we recommend a policy of incentives towards the generalization of surcharges and towards an increase in their amount.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK FOR NON TRADITIONAL MARITIME SECUIRTY
Authors: Pandey Shivam Kumar
Published: December 2024

The discussion that arose around the Security Studies study area following the conclusion of the Cold War provides a
useful foundation for understanding this intellectual tradition. "Military power is the central focus of the field,"
according to Stephen Walt, who was merely restating the discipline's conventional wisdom. Walt contended that despite
efforts to broaden the definition of security, the subject would not benefit from losing its "intellectual coherence," given
its sensitivity to the internal reasoning behind the field's development. His warning to scholars in the domain to furnish
the prerequisites of the scientific canon demonstrated his devotion to science as a philosophical approach to study
political life. This was seen as a call for "public documentation of theoretical and empirical claims, unbiased
measurement of critical concepts, and careful and consistent use of terms."1
Thus, the demands of Security Studies were understood to expressly legitimise a pragmatic instrumental social
engineering tendency. Since state survival was ultimately what mattered, the national security issue remained at the
centre of the endeavour. Walt thought that people who oppose constrictive security measures should likewise direct
their investigation towards this goal, rather than only those in positions of authority. In order to grasp his perspective
on this issue, it is helpful to note that '[t]he steadfast conviction that those opposed to war ought not to research
Comparing national security to trying to treat cancer by not studying medicine and letting tobacco firms be the only
ones conducting research on the illness. Walt effectively indicates that it is worthwhile to investigate other perspectives
on security, but he ultimately returns to his main concern of "under what conditions should states employ military force
and for what purposes?"

Distrust Antara Pemerintah Dengan Masyarakat Terhadap Pembangunan Hotel (Studi kasus Di Kota Yogyakarta)
Authors: Rizal M. Hasan Syaifur
Published: December 2024

The growth of hotels has become the most striking process in the transformation of the City of Yogyakarta based on data from the DIY Hotel Directorate in 2016. Although it seems natural like a tourist city, this phenomenon has triggered the emergence of social conflict.
This study discusses the distrust between the government and the community triggered by the development of hotels in the city of Yogyakarta. This study will use the Literature Review method, which is related to the problem of collecting empirical evidence that may have been obtained using various techniques and in different research contexts.
The results of this study indicate that the Yogyakarta city government is indeed playing around with capital owners, which has resulted in the public being angry and disturbed by the ease with which hotels have been built, a sign of a filter from the government. Finally, there is distrust between the public and the government regarding hotel development
Dynamic characteristics of micro-perforated complex beam structures
Authors: The Vu Van
Published: December 2024

This paper discusses research concerning the fluctuating dynamic characteristics of various micro-beams featuring intricate designs and perforated surfaces across their entire operational faces. The complex beam structures consist of different types: folded beam, V-shaped beam, and crab-shaped beam with different boundary conditions: fixed-free, fixed-fixed for the simple single beam, and fixed-guided for the rest. The types of holes on the body of the beams are choice in square and circle-shaped for common. In addition, the methodology to determine the dynamic characteristics of the perforated beam is also proposed based on using FEM simulation software. The results show that the dynamic characteristics of the beam in which the holes are distributed depend on the size and shape of perforated holes. As the size or quantity of holes on the surface of the beam in perforated micro-beams grows, the equivalent stiffness drops noticeably. Consequently, the fundamental frequencies of the MEMS systems that include these micro-beams also diminish. The damping coefficient also reduces thanks to the occurrence of these holes. The maximum decrease in damping coefficient reaches 84% in the ideal case for the crab-shaped beam with square holes. These results can be used to optimize the MEMS structures in future research.

Authors: Amput Patchareeya , Wongphon Sirima
Published: December 2024

Objective: To evaluate muscle strength and cardiorespiratory parameters, this study uses simple tests in older adults, including those who have and have not recovered from mild coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).Methods: Eighty older adults (age≥60 years old) were divided into two groups: those without previous COVID-19 (control group, n=40) and those with recovery from mild COVID-19 (recovered group, n=40). Muscle strength was assessed using a handgrip strength test and the sit-to-stand test (STS10). Cardiorespiratory parameters were evaluated with a 1-minute sitto- stand (1-min STS) test and a 6-minute walk test (6MWT).Results: Both groups had normal values for body mass index, blood pressure, heart rate, and pulse oxygen saturation. The recovered group showed significant differences in handgrip strength test (24.73±6.99 vs. 22.03±4.36, p=0.041) and duration for the STS10 (25.15±6.11 vs. 33.40±7.56, p<0.001) when compared to the control group. Furthermore, the recovered group had significantly decreased repetitions of a 1-min STS (31.38±4.89 vs. 21.25±3.64, p<0.001) and increased the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) (7.43±1.20 vs. 8.95±1.01, p=0.01) and leg fatigue (1.49±1.13 vs. 3.00±1.04, p=0.03) after performing a 1-min STS when compared with the control group. Moreover, the recovered group had also significantly decreased distances for the 6MWT (421.68±8.28 vs. 384.35±6.17, p<0.001) and increased the post-test RPE (7.63±1.37 vs. 12.05±1.63, p<0.001) and the post-test leg fatigue (1.71±0.88 vs. 5.28±0.91, p<0.001) compared with the control group.Conclusion: Older adults with recovery from mild COVID-19 reported reduced muscle strength and exercise tolerance when compared with older adults without COVID-19.

Jason’s cloak in Apollonius Argonautica
Authors: Sousa Alexandra
Published: December 2024

Jason’s shining arrival at Myrine, in Apollonius’ Argonautica, wearing a purple cloak and with a spear in the hand, highlights a glamorous heroic excellence that has its origin in Alexander the Great and evokes the military ceremonial mantles displayed during the Ptolemaic processions. Jason is so seductive that the Lemnian women feel ravished at his sight. He evokes Achilles at the gates of Troy sparkling with his armour (Il. 22.25-32). But the battlefield will be the bed in women’s arms. He and almost all of his crew are going to be married to the Lemnians, just as Alexander and his officers did at Susa in 324 BCE. Through a literary resource cherished by Hellenistic poets, an ecphrasis, Apollonius challenges the epic canon, suggesting readings that merge fiction with historical facts, through two opposite cosmic forces φιλότης and νεῖκος. The seven scenes embroidered in the cloak embody them in its tension. Aphrodite, who holds the shield of Ares and sees herself on it, represents those two forces that give the plot, as well as history, its dynamics.
The Agathocles Affair or, The Fall of the House of Lysimachus
Authors: Van Oppen de Ruiter Branko
Published: December 2024

Lysimachus (ca. 355-281 BCE) is the only Successor of Alexander the Great who did not establish a lasting dynasty. The Agathocles Affair is generally considered the critical moment that led to the fall of the house of Lysimachus. Rather than the king or his heir, the king’s youngest wife Arsinoe has traditionally received all blame for the succession crisis. This paper reevaluates the Agathocles Affair within the context of Lysimachus’ polygynous marital relations as a case study of the troubled position of the designated heir as well as the sons of the king’s other wives
Emile Littré and the death of Alexander the Great
Authors: Damiani Ernesto
Published: December 2024

The French philologist Émile Littré (1801-1881) is credited by several scholars as the first to propose that Alexander the Great died of malaria. This article demonstrates that this opinion of traditional origin is unsupported by Littré's scholarly production. He published only two full papers on the topic of Alexander's death, the first in 1844 and the latter in 1853. In both works he stated that Alexander died of a pseudo-continuous fever, that is, a long lasting fever characterized by initial phases of remission to become continuous at the end. This feverish pattern differed from that of intermittent fever of malarial type that Littré described in his medical Dictionary. The articles of 1865, 1872 and 1927 were reprints of the 1853 article. The 1927 version published in Æsculape was preceded by a preface in which the anonymous author arbitrarily introduced the new word “paludisme”, giving rise to the erroneous belief that has been handed down to date.
IG II2 236 and Philip’s Common Peace of 337
Authors: Worthington Ian
Published: December 2024

The inscription IG II2 236 is key in the study of Philip II’s Common Peace after Chaeronea and in the making and definition of the League of Corinth. However, there are many issues that allow to doubt about this adscription of the epigraphical source. A full review of the tradition concerning its interpretation, and a new date, is purposed in the following pages.

Higher education in Southern Africa is in an era that has transcended the traditional boundaries of space and time. This chapter aims to explore the experiences and difficulties of officials and incarcerated offenders in South African correctional facilities, who are taking online classes in Open Distance Electronic Learning (ODEL) institutions like the University of South Africa (UNISA).

This chapter employed a qualitative desktop research method which involves analysing secondary data that includes previously published academic articles, media reports, and policies from the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) and the Department of Correctional Services (DCS).

The main findings demonstrate the considerable obstacles faced by institutionalized ODEL learning. The major themes of student challenges include 1. Limited Access to Computers and the Internet (for safety concerns). 2. Low levels of Digital Literacy. 3. Insufficient Individualised Student Support, and conversely, 4. Recognition of Online Learning Benefits. The significance of the study is that it offers valuable insight for shaping and promoting more inclusive student support strategies by attending to the diverse needs of students in non-traditional learning environments. The study also highlights how crucial it is to create digital literacy initiatives and expand access to technology infrastructure to guarantee that all students succeed in online learning in the Southern Africa region.

Regulating Liquefaction Risk for Residential Land Development
Authors: Roh Catherine
Published: December 2024

Management of natural hazard risks, such as liquefaction, has been a grey area for New Zealand’s residential land development sector. The “February 2011 Christchurch Earthquake” – second most populated city in New Zealand- was one such event.
The earthquake paired with significant liquefaction saw over 400,000tonnes of silt brought up affecting over 600,000 homes and costing over NZD$40billion in damages, making it New Zealand’s costliest natural disaster at the time. Our engineering community were well aware it could happen but the risk was not perceived to be significant enough for residential dwellings.
Hence, in 2021, just over ten years following the Canterbury earthquake, the regulations governing how residential structures are designed changed.
The Auckland Council responded by publishing liquefaction hazard maps and implementing the new rules at the building consent stage of new residential developments.
This paper discusses the process set up including hazard maps and standard foundation designs, and presents the challenges and outcomes in implementing the change.
