After China's admittance into the WTO did not lead to the collapse of socialism in that country, presidents from Obama to Biden have gutted the institution and escalated the tariff war, all in the name of protecting the so-called rules-based international order.
Unequal Value Transfer from Mexico to the United States
Authors: Crossa Mateo
Published: November 2023

Matteo Crossa reveals the true nature of unequal value transfer from Mexico to the United States. Going beyond a simple tally of wages lost versus remittances, Crossa's research demonstrates the true magnitude of the value stolen from Mexico, negating the claim that its manufacturing sector is a boon to the Mexican working class.

Reflexões sobre o acompanhamento sonoro do primeiro cinema: O caso do carioca Cinema Chantecler (1911)
Authors: Carvalho Danielle Crepaldi
Published: November 2023

Este trabalho toma como recorte os meses iniciais de 1911, quando o carioca Cinema Chantecler publica os programas musicais que acompanhariam cada um dos filmes ali exibidos. Este artigo é motivado pela excepcionalidade de tal divulgação, quando consideramos o âmbito da exibição cinematográfica do primeiro cinema. Propomos reconstruir, aqui, esses programas cinematográficos através da pesquisa em acervos como a Hemeroteca Digital da Biblioteca Nacional e a Fondation Jérôme Seydoux-Pathé. Para a realização deste trabalho, efetuamos primeiramente um levantamento fílmico e musical dos repertórios citados nos anúncios do Cinema Chantecler publicados na imprensa carioca. Em seguida, procuramos levantar as obras fílmicas que sobreviveram ao tempo, utilizando-nos, na inexistência do filme, da fortuna crítica publicada sobre elas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa calcada na historiografia do cinema silencioso, que visa reconstituir a esfera da exibição considerando as relações existentes entre o filme e o seu acompanhamento sonoro, âmbito muitas vezes relegado a um segundo plano pela crítica devido à dificuldade de se localizarem dados a este respeito. A programação do Cinema Chantecler será analisada a contrapelo das considerações de Rick Altman, segundo o qual se caminha, a partir de 1908, rumo à estandardização de práticas referentes aos usos dos sons no primeiro cinema. Conforme demonstraremos, o contexto brasileiro comporta peculiaridades, uma vez que a música era utilizada tanto como acompanhamento aos filmes quanto como atração per se, na dinâmica da cena teatral que antecedeu e era contemporânea à cena cinematográfica.

Synthetic data generation for the continuous development and testing of autonomous construction machinery
Authors: Schuster Alexander , Hagmanns Raphael , Sonji Iman , Löcklin Andreas , Petereit Janko , Ebert Christof , Weyrich Michael
Published: November 2023

The development and testing of autonomous systems require sufficient meaningful data. However, generating suitable scenario data is a challenging task. In particular, it raises the question of how to narrow down what kind of data should be considered meaningful. Autonomous systems are characterized by their ability to cope with uncertain situations, i.e. complex and unknown environmental conditions. Due to this openness, the definition of training and test scenarios cannot be easily specified. Not all relevant influences can be sufficiently specified with requirements in advance, especially for unknown scenarios and corner cases, and therefore the “right” data, balancing quality and efficiency, is hard to generate. This article discusses the challenges of automated generation of 3D scenario data. We present a training and testing loop that provides a way to generate synthetic camera and Lidar data using 3D simulated environments. Those can be automatically varied and modified to support a closed-loop system for deriving and generating datasets that can be used for continuous development and testing of autonomous systems.

Der Digital Turn in den Geisteswissenschaften und seine Implikationen für Gedächtniseinrichtungen
Authors: Donig Simon
Published: November 2023

Der digitale Wandel hat in den letzten Jahrzehnten die Geisteswissenschaften transformiert. Jede Art von Tätigkeit in Forschung und Lehre hat zumindest einen digitalen Anteil und sei es, dass dieser nur in der Nutzung digitaler Informationsinfrastrukturen für die Recherche besteht. In den historisch arbeitenden Wissenschaften mag der Beharrungswille größer sein als in anderen Disziplinen, aber auch hier haben sich in den vergangenen Jahren zwei Tendenzen herauskristallisiert: Erstens nimmt die Arbeit mit digitalen Surrogaten analoger Quellen zu – und wird noch mehr an Bedeutung gewinnen, je mehr die Fächer mit digital geborenen Quellen arbeiten. Zweitens werden die historischen Fächer selbst zu Produzenten von Forschungsdaten. Der Beitrag zeichnet diese Veränderungen nach und zeigt exemplarisch aktuelle Verfahren, Workflows und deren Voraussetzungen. Für die Gedächtniseinrichtungen argumentiert er, dass diese die sich abzeichnende Entwicklung nicht nur nicht ignorieren dürfen, sondern dass sie bereits jetzt ein wichtiger Teil des digitalen Umbruchs sind, der sich durch eine Konvergenz von Datenkompetenzen, aber auch von Verfahren und Modellierungen über die Grenzen der Fächer hinweg auszeichnet. Abschließend reflektiert der Beitrag, auf welche Weise Gedächtniseinrichtungen den Anforderungen dieser Veränderung und neuer Gruppen von Nutzenden gerecht werden können und welche Herausforderungen auch epistemischer Art in den bestehenden Sammlungen ruhen.

Published: November 2023

Residual antibiotics and organic dyes in wastewater have gained the current challenge all over the world because of their toxicity to humans and the environment. In this study, the bimetallic porous FeZn-ZIFs materials were successfully prepared under mild conditions at room temperature and atmospheric pressure and characterized by various techniques. The FeZn-ZIFs were used as a heterogeneous catalyst to remove tetracycline antibiotics (TC) and methyl violet 2B dyes (MV) in an aqueous solution by activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and peroxydisulfate (PDS), respectively. The catalytic activity of FeZn-ZIFs towards TC and MV under different oxidant dosages, the catalyst dosage, the initial pollutant concentration, contact time, and reaction temperature were optimized. The results indicated that FeZn-ZIFs was an efficient catalyst for removing TC and MV based on advanced oxidant processes, having a removal capacity of 92% at TC concentration of 50 mg·L−1 and 95% MV concentration of 20 mg·L−1. More importantly, this bimetallic catalyst was identified the superior structural stability when the removal efficiency of TC and MV was maintained at approximately 90% after five cycles. In short, the FeZn-ZIFs and PMS/PDS system exhibited a promising application prospect for antibiotic and dye-containing wastewater treatment.

Published: November 2023

In the current study, among 36 isolates, the bacterial strain M7 was selected as the highest cellulase producer and underwent traditional and molecular identification as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens M7. The productivity of the cellulase enzyme was optimized using the one-factor-at-a-time method. The optimization analysis showed that the best pH value for cellulase production was 7, in the presence of 1% bacterial inoculum size, 5 g·L−1 of carboxymethyl cellulose, 5 g·L−1 of peptone as nitrogen source, and incubation period of 24 h at a temperature of 35°C. The highest cellulase activity (64.98 U·mL−1) was obtained after optimizing conditions using BOX-Behnken Design. The maximum cellulase yield (75.53%) was obtained after precipitation by 60% ammonium sulfate, followed by purification by dialysis bag and Sephadex G-100 column chromatography. The purified cellulase enzyme was characterized by 6.38-fold enrichment, with specific activity (60.54 U·mg−1), and molecular weight of approximately 439.0 Da. The constituent of purified cellulase was 18 amino acids with high concentrations of 200 and 160 mg·L−1 for glycine and arginine, respectively. The purified cellulase enzyme was more stable and active at pH 8 and an incubation temperature of 50°C. The metal ions CaCl2, NaCl, and ZnO enhanced the activity of purified cellulase enzyme. Finally, the B. amyloliquefaciens M7-cellulase exhibits high bio-polishing activity of cotton fabrics with low weight loss (4.3%) which was attained at a maximum concentration (1%, v/v) for 90 min.
An overview of lab-based micro computed tomography aided finite element modelling of wood and its current bottlenecks
Authors: Florisson Sara , Gamstedt Erik Kristofer
Published: November 2023

Microscopic lab-based X-ray computed tomography (XµCT) aided finite element (FE) modelling is a popular method with increasing nature within material science to predict local material properties of heterogeneous materials, e.g. elastic, hygroexpansion and diffusion. This method is relatively new to wood and lacks a clear methodology. Research intended to optimise the XµCT aided FE process often focuses on specific aspects within this process such as the XµCT scanning, segmentation or meshing, but not the entirety of the process. The compatibility and data transfer between aspects have not been investigated to the same extent, which creates errors that propagate and negatively impact the end results. In the current study, a methodology for the XµCT aided FE process of wood is suggested and its bottlenecks are identified based on a thorough literature review. Although the complexity of wood as a material makes it difficult to automate the XµCT aided FE process, the proposed methodology can assist in a more considered design and execution of this process. The main challenges that were identified include an automatic procedure to reconstruct the fibre orientation and to perform segmentation and meshing. A combined deep-learning segmentation method with geometry-based meshing can be suggested.
Machine learning in AI Factories – five theses for developing, managing and maintaining data-driven artificial intelligence at large scale
Authors: Hildesheim Wolfgang , Holoyad Taras , Schmid Thomas
Published: November 2023

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is today’s dominating technological trend across all industries. With the maturing of deep learning and other data-driven techniques, AI has over the last decade become an essential component for an increasing number of products and services. In parallel to this development, technological advances have been accelerating the production of novel AI models from large-scale datasets. This global phenomenon has been driving the need for an efficient industrialized approach to develop, manage and maintain AI models at large scale. Such an approach is provided by the state-of-the-art operational concept termed AI Factory, which refers to an infrastructure for AI models and implements the idea of AI as a Service (AIaaS). Moreover, it ensures performance, transparency and reproducibility of AI models at any point in the continuous AI development process. This concept, however, does not only require new technologies and architectures, but also new job roles. Here, we discuss current trends, outline requirements and identify success factors for AI Factories. We conclude with recommendations for their successful use in practice as well as perspectives on future developments.
To Marry or To Write?—Sheng Qinxian and Her (Screen) Writing in 1940s Shanghai
Authors: Wei S. Louisa
Published: November 2023

During the Japanese occupation of Shanghai, writer-translator Sheng Qinxian (1921–2017) joined the script division of the Incorporated Film Studio of China and wrote the screenplays of three successful films: The Honourable Beggar (义丐 1944), Reunion of a Troubled Couple (冤家喜相逢 1945), and Modern Women (摩登女性 1945). Despite this success, she did not receive a writing credit for the third film, which might be one of the reasons that caused her to quit shortly after its theatrical release. It was never easy to be the only woman in any trade during this time, but Sheng’s story allows us to see an era from a unique perspective. What were her working conditions? Where is her position in Chinese film history? Did she make a unique contribution? This article aims to find answers to these questions in view of 1940s’ Shanghai cinema and via the context of Chinese culture and society before 1949.
“Pseudo-dialect” or “role language”? Speech varieties in three Japanese translations of Gone with the Wind
Authors: Trowell Haydn , Nambu Satoshi
Published: November 2023

This study considers the use of dialectal and distinctive language features in three Japanese translations of the 1936 novel Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell, published in 1938, 2015, and 2015–2016. Previous studies have noted that these translations adopt various linguistic features originating in dialects from Japan’s Tōhoku region when rendering the African American Vernacular English–influenced eye dialect spoken by Black enslaved characters, and suggest that this translation strategy draws on and reinforces negative social perceptions of real-life Tōhoku-dialect speakers. Conversely, through a dual approach involving both a comparative textual analysis and a quantitative perceptual survey, this study argues that these speech styles should be viewed rather as an enregistered form of “role language”: a speech variety unique to fictional contexts serving to identify a character archetype that in the eyes of a majority of readers is disassociated from any historical origin.
Konfessionskunde aus Sicht der Weltanschauungsarbeit
Authors: Funkschmidt Kai
Published: November 2023

Der Artikel setzt Wesen und Auftrag der Weltanschauungsarbeit (Apologetik) in Beziehung zur Konfessionskunde. Beide Arbeitsfelder haben in Theologie und Methoden viel gemeinsam. Der zentrale Unterschied besteht im Hinblick auf die Zielsetzung. Während die Weltanschauungsarbeit sich v. a. als Dienst an der Gesellschaft gestaltet, ist die Konfessionskunde eine binnenkirchliche Disziplin. Insofern hier Christen anderen Christen begegnen, steht sie unter dem ökumenischen Imperativ, das heißt unter der Zusage und Zumutung, „dass sie alle eins seien.“

Schließlich wird hervorgehoben, dass aktuelle Themen (Modernisierungskonflikte/Ethik) Teil einer Konfessionskunde sein müssen, wenn sie nicht anachronistisch sein will.
The role of ultrasonographic findings for PIK3CA-mutated, hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2-negative breast cancer
Authors: Li Shuo , Zhang Qi-Li , Guo Rui-Jun
Published: November 2023

To determine whether ultrasound (US) features of breast cancer are associated with Breast Imaging and Reporting Data System molecular subtype, histologic grade, and hormone receptor status as well as to assess the predictive value of these features. Retrospective analysis of the medical records of 220 consecutive patients with invasive breast cancer was reviewed according to the PIK3CA-mutated molecular tumor subtype. US findings of all patients were analyzed. Breast tumors harboring a PIK3CA-mutation were large and exhibited liquefied necrosis and posterior echo attenuation in the nodule. Moreover, such tumors were lobulated and calcified. The aspect ratio of the PIK3CA-mutant was more likely >1. The average nodule elasticity (7.479 ± 0.993 m/s) was measured using US shear wave elastography. Microcalcification was easier to detect inside the nodule using a fluorescence technique. Measurement of the nodule blood flow spectrum showed that the internal blood flow resistance index of nodules was lower than that of other types of breast cancer. The sonographic features of PIK3CA-mutated breast cancers were strongly associated with extensive and liquefied necrosis. The ability to predict molecular subtypes, particularly using US to detect the triple-negative subtype, may play an important role in early management and treatment.
Die Frühjahrsarbeiten der Aufklärungs-streitkräfte und weitere neue Dokumente zur Entwicklung des deutschen seestrategischen Denkens im Ersten Weltkrieg
Authors: Miertzschke Benjamin
Published: November 2023

Der Beitrag befasst sich mit kürzlich entdeckten Quellen aus dem Bundesarchiv-Militärarchiv, welche ein neues Licht auf die Entwicklung des deutschen seestrategischen Denkens im Ersten Weltkrieg werfen. Es handelt sich um eine Sammlung von Denkschriften, die im Frühjahr 1915 in den Aufklärungsstreitkräften unter dem Kommando von Konteradmiral Franz Hipper entstanden. Darin wird das Scheitern der bisherigen Strategie einer Entscheidungsschlacht in der Nordsee analysiert und es werden Lösungsansätze für einen zukünftigen Seekrieg entwickelt. Nach Ansicht der beteiligten Offiziere, zu denen u. a. Kapitän z.S. Max Hahn, Kapitän z.S. Magnus von Levetzow und Konteradmiral Georg Hebbinghaus gehörten, konnte die Lösung nur in einer völligen Umgestaltung der Seestrategie liegen. Das Konzept sah einen systematischen Angriff auf die britischen Versorgungswege im Atlantik vor. Dieser sollte mit neu zu entwickelnden Großkampfschiffen von überragender Kampfkraft, ausgestattet mit Dieselantrieb oder Ölfeuerung, sowie mit unterstützenden leichten Streitkräften geführt werden. Darüber hinaus wird gezeigt, dass diese Ideen auch in der restlichen Flotte und im RMA auf positive Resonanzen stießen. Abschließend wird auf mögliche Kontinuitäten zum Z-Plan unter Admiral Erich Raeder hingewiesen.
Die Beteiligung der Bundeswehr an der Sonderkommission der Vereinten Nationen (UNSCOM) im Irak, 1991–1996
Authors: Konopka Torsten
Published: November 2023

Nach Ende des Zweiten Golfkriegs beteiligte sich die Bundesrepublik Deutschland mit einzelnen Inspektoren sowie drei Hubschraubern und zwei Flugzeugen der Bundeswehr samt Personal an der Sonderkommission der Vereinten Nationen (UNSCOM) im Irak. Vor Ort sollten sie bei der international geforderten Zerstörung der irakischen Massenvernichtungswaffen unterstützen. Bei der Entsendung handelte es sich um die erste personelle Beteiligung der Bundeswehr an einer Maßnahme der Vereinten Nationen. Nach der personellen Nichtbeteiligung am Zweiten Golfkrieg erhofften sich das Auswärtige Amt und das Bundesministerium der Verteidigung hierdurch internationales Ansehen zu generieren, gegenüber den USA Handlungsbereitschaft bei der Beilegung internationaler Krisen zu demonstrieren und erste militärische Erfahrungen im Rahmen einer multinationalen Maßnahme außerhalb des NATO-Bündnisses zu sammeln. Politisch wurde die Beteiligung damit legitimiert, dass sie nicht als Einsatz der Bundeswehr im Sinne des Grundgesetzes galt, sondern als logistische Unterstützung einer vom Sicherheitsrat der Vereinten Nationen gebilligten Abrüstungsmaßnahme.

Published: November 2023

The use of improved soybean varieties is crucial when it comes to the progress of soybean cultivation in Indonesia. This study presents the agronomic performance, seed chemical composition, and bioactive components of 12 soybean genotypes grown in Malang, Indonesia. Parameters included the agronomic characteristics, ash, protein, fat, total flavonoid content (TFC), total phenolic content (TPC), genistein and daidzein contents as well as antioxidant activity. The study found that Dena 1, Dering 1, and Deja 1 had the highest seed yield (2.76–2.84 t/ha), while Dega 1 had the largest seed size (24.69 g/100 seeds). The black-seeded genotype of Detam 1 had the highest protein content (39.79% dw), while GH 63 had the largest amount of total daidzein and genistein. Detam 4 (a black-seeded genotype) exhibited the highest values of TFC, TPC, and antioxidant activity. The agronomic characteristics and TPC significantly correlated, suggesting that both traits are applicable as criteria for soybean breeding selection. Detam 4 and GH 63 are likely promising to be used as gene sources for improving the nutritional and health benefits of soybean genotypes. GH 63 and GH 73 also have the potential for further release as new high-yielding varieties with early maturity and large seed size. Overall, the study provides valuable information on the agronomic superiority and nutritional aspects of improved soybean varieties in Indonesia.

The immune system is a complex distributed system consisting of cells, which circulate through the body, communicate and turnover in response to antigenic perturbations. We discuss new approaches to modelling the functioning of the immune system of humans and experimental animals with a focus on its ‘complexity’. Emerging mathematical and computer models are reviewed to describe the immune system diversity, the cell/cytokine network communication structures, hierarchical regulation, and evolutionary dynamics of immune repertoires.
Randomized singular value decomposition for integrative subtype analysis of ‘omics data’ using non-negative matrix factorization
Authors: Ni Yonghui , He Jianghua , Chalise Prabhakar
Published: November 2023

Integration of multiple ‘omics datasets for differentiating cancer subtypes is a powerful technic that leverages the consistent and complementary information across multi-omics data. Matrix factorization is a common technique used in integrative clustering for identifying latent subtype structure across multi-omics data. High dimensionality of the omics data and long computation time have been common challenges of clustering methods. In order to address the challenges, we propose randomized singular value decomposition (RSVD) for integrative clustering using Non-negative Matrix Factorization: intNMF-rsvd. The method utilizes RSVD to reduce the dimensionality by projecting the data into eigen vector space with user specified lower rank. Then, clustering analysis is carried out by estimating common basis matrix across the projected multi-omics datasets. The performance of the proposed method was assessed using the simulated datasets and compared with six state-of-the-art integrative clustering methods using real-life datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas Study. intNMF-rsvd was found working efficiently and competitively as compared to standard intNMF and other multi-omics clustering methods. Most importantly, intNMF-rsvd can handle large number of features and significantly reduce the computation time. The identified subtypes can be utilized for further clinical association studies to understand the etiology of the disease.

Empatikus marketing fogyasztói és üzleti megközelítésben
Authors: Hlédik Erika , Berki-Süle Margit , Brávácz Ibolya , Magyar Mária , Mandják Tibor
Published: November 2023

Törőcsik Mária (2000a, 2000b) empatikus marketingről szóló írásaiban megkülönbözteti az érzelemmentes és az empatikus marketing tevékenységet. A különbséget abban látja, hogy míg az érzelemmentes marketing tevékenység nem a piac szereplőire, hanem alapvetően a számokra, adatbázisokra való összpontosítást jelenti, addig az empatikus marketing esetében a hangsúly azokra a tényezőkre helyeződik, amelyek nehezen megfoghatóak, írhatóak le, mint például a piaci szereplők intuíciói és érzései. Az empatikus marketing tehát a piac szereplőit egészen közelről vizsgálja, „nem elfeledve az embereket a számok mögött”. A marketing gyakorlatból számos empátián alapuló döntéshelyzetet ismertet, ahol a piaci résztvevőt személyként tartja célszerűnek kezelni. Ilyen helyzetek a stratégiára vagy egy termékre vonatkozó döntések, a termékszemélyiség (márka) megfogalmazása és tudatosítása, a tényleges és online eladóhelyek kialakítása, illetve a piaci szereplőkkel fenntartott tárgyalásos viszonyok. Mindezen döntési helyzeteket különböző, ún. empátiakötelékekben vizsgálja, amelyek az empátia megnyilvánulását emberek vagy tárgyak közötti kapcsolatokban, illetve ember és tárgy közötti kapcsolatokban fejezik ki. A szerző az empátia mindhárom kötelékben való megnyilvánulásában szemléletformálásra, az érzékenység fejlesztésére hívja fel a figyelmet, „ami tovább mutat a számoknál, a racionálisan megmagyarázhatónál, és elvisz a piaci szereplők magatartásának megértéséhez, az annak való jobb megfelelés lehetőségéhez” (Törőcsik, 2000b, 65). Tanulmányunkban az empátiakötelékek a marketing számos területén megjelennek, így a vállalati, az állami és a környezeti tényezők és a vevők viszonylatában. Az empátia elengedhetetlen egyrészt a vevői igények feltárása során. Ez a fogyasztói piacon a vállalat részéről megmutatkozhat a kínált termékek fogyasztói igényekhez való igazításában és az ehhez nélkülözhetetlen fogyasztói igények feltárásában. Az állami szabályozás oldaláról megjelenhet a fogyasztó védelme során az esetleges visszaélések felderítésében, a kiszolgáltatott fogyasztói csoportok fokozottabb védelmében. Társadalmi szinten az empátia megjelenik a környezeti tényezők, a környezet és az egészség védelme területén. A szervezeti piacon az üzleti kapcsolatok létrehozásához szükséges kapcsolati igények feltárása során, vagy a vállalaton belüli stratégia kialakításakor az egyéni szerepek előtérbe kerülésével.
Vásárok és vásári szokások a piacgazdaság hőskorában
Authors: Kaposi Zoltán
Published: November 2023

A magyarországi kereskedelem évszázadokon át stabil intézményrendszerrel működött. A 18-19. századi modernizáció idején a városokban szaporodó boltok mellett a 20. század közepéig meghatározó forgalmi intézmény maradt a vásár. Vásárból sokféle létezett: országos vásárok, havivásárok, hetipiacok, kirakodóvásárok tarkították az ország városait, nem is beszélve az egyre elterjedtebb napipiacokról. Ezek a vásárok biztosították hosszú időn keresztül a lakosság mindennapi ellátását és fogyasztását. Rövid írásomban arra keresem a választ, hogyan működtek ezek a tradicionális kereskedelmi formák, s a racionális vonásokon túl milyen szerepet játszott a forgalmazásban a szokásrendszer.
EMPÁTIA – VEVŐÉLMÉNY – VEVŐÉRTÉK

Published: November 2023

Törőcsik Mária, az ezredfordulón írt könyvében (Törőcsik, 2000), egyértelműen hitet tett az empatikus marketing mellett. Ő volt az, aki Magyarországon részletesen kidolgozta az empatikus marketing elméletét és bevezette azt a magyar marketingszakma elméletébe és gyakorlatába. Az elmúlt két évtizedben végbement technológiai és környezeti változások az empátiára vonatkozó ismereteinket azóta már kissé más kontextusba helyezték. Jelen tanulmány célja az, hogy bemutassa, hogy az empátia szerepe miképpen változott, hogyan olvadt bele a vevőélmény és a vevőérték összetett rendszerébe, illetve miképpen kapott ismét nagyobb szerepet a pandémia hatására.
Empátia és bizalom a 21. század fogyasztásában
Authors: Tari Annamária
Published: November 2023

Az empátia a személyiség azon képessége, mely lehetővé teszi, hogy egy másik emberrel való közvetlen kommunikációs kapcsolatban egy személy bele élje magát a másik lelkiállapotába. Ennek az érzelmi folyamatnak során tud megérezni és megérteni olyan emóciókat, indítékokat vagy törekvéseket, melyek szavakban nem fejeződnek ki, és melyek nem egyértelműen a társas érintkezés helyzetéből fakadnak. Ez egyfajta rezonancia, sajátos ráhangolódás, melyből valódi empátia akkor lesz, ha ezen megértett összefüggéseket tudatosan feldolgozzuk, önmagunk számára megnevezzük és értelmezzük. Alapvetően ehhez személyes kommunikáció, társas szituáció kell, de előfordulhat, hogy csak a tekintetek kapcsolódnak össze, és csak mimikai gesztusok történnek. Ahhoz, hogy empátiát érezzen valaki, tudatos odafordulás kell, figyelem, vagyis az érdeklődés felkeltődése. A bizalom a korai életévek során alakuló, elsősorban az anya által megteremtett érzelmi légkörben fejlődő vonás, mely a későbbiekben egy másik személy(ek) és a világ jóságába vetett hittel jellemezhető. Az empátiával szorosan együttjáró érzelmi jellemző, mely lehetővé teszi a társas kapcsolatok, a döntések és választások minőségét. A 21. századi fogyasztó lehet bizalommal teli vagy bizalmatlan, mohó vagy aszkéta, extrovertált és impulzuskereső vagy introvertált, tudatosan választó, aki döntéseit már impulzusokkal elárasztva hozza, melyek ellentétesek lehetnek. A „fogyassz többet, mert megteheted!” trend mellett egyre erősödik a bolygó védelmében a zero waste, a visszafogott fogyasztás trendje. Valójában a nárcisztikus vágyak és a magasabbrendű elvek összeütközését látjuk, mely aztán eléri, hogy ugyan valaki megveszi a fapados repülőjegyet, hogy négy napra elrepüljön, de közben a „second hand” ruhák vagy a mosógolyó mellett is érvel. Fontos kérdésnek érezzük, hogy az okoseszközök által (is) generált gyorsuló időben a fogyasztói döntéseket milyen lélektani motivumok jellemzik.
The role of museum learning in promoting sustainability - Comparative research in Baranya County and Landkreis Görlitz
Authors: Koltai Zsuzsa
Published: November 2023

The study explores aspects related to the role of museums in promoting sustainability among the results of a comprehensive research entitled „The role of museum learning in strengthening resilience in peripheral regions – Comparative research in Görlitz District and Baranya County” conducted with the support of the Saxon State Ministry of Science, Culture and Tourism's Saxon Visiting Professors Program 2022.
Among the many aspects of the role of museums in promoting resilience, the empirical research also dealt with how much and in what way the museums/heritage sites in the two investigated areas contribute to the promotion of sustainability through their exhibitions, programs and other initiatives. Within the framework of the comparative research, based on a stratified sampling procedure, structured interviews were conducted with museum educators, museum directors, and relevant senior colleagues of 13 Baranya County and 13 Görlitz District museums/heritage sites between October 2022 and January 2023.
The study compares the activities of the museums included in the research from the two regions in terms of the extent to which they promote the realization of the following seven of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the UN’s Agenda 2030: health and well-being, quality education, gender equality, reducing inequalities, responsible consumption and production, action against climate change, sustainable cities and communities.
Human rights as a fundamental pillar for building cross-cultural resilience of the international community in the 21st century
Authors: Szaniszló Inocent-Mária Vladimír
Published: November 2023

We would like to contribute to an understanding of building Cross-cultural resilience by developing the concept of human rights from the perspective of Catholic social teaching in the 21st century, taking into account the ethics of society and the ethics of the individual members of that community. The bearer of these rights, every human being, was considered to have a single, identical common reason. This rational character initially coincided with the reason that governs all of nature and is manifested in its laws. Therefore, the norms of human rights, based on the rational character of nature, were also called universal, i.e., valid for all rational beings in the universe, because they coincided with cosmic laws.

Our study aims to deepen the understanding of this important topic for the eventual general acceptance of human rights issues. This is important in light of the theory that human rights are non-negotiable and are no longer just a question of ethics and morality, but of security and peace among international communities, e.g., to help Cross-cultural resilience building. The method used in our research is comparative and inductive.

The summary of our research should contribute to a better argumentation in promoting this agenda in major international institutions. This paper's theoretical and practical significance lies in clarifying the historical and current relationship between churches and civil societies on the issue of human dignity and human rights so that their understanding and recognition can positively impact the development of modern society's common good.
From cocoons to butterflies: Cross-cultural resilience of the first graduates of an international undergraduate pedagogy program at the University of Pécs
Authors: Dezső Renáta Anna
Published: November 2023

The University of Pécs, UP has a long tradition of training international students, and educational sciences related programs have a crucial role within this repertoire. Amongst these programs an undergraduate one, i.e. Pedagogy BA – Intercultural Educational Assistant Specialization was developed, authorized and issued in the middle of the Covid 2019 Pandemic.

Due to the international nature of the program both its content and command must meet criteria of current standards, therefore it aims at fulfilling the ethos of the 2030 OECD Learning Compass. The first graduates received their degrees in July 2023, and are heading towards their future careers as educators – but are they armed with competences suggested by the OECD 2030 Learning Compass?

Besides outlining the peculiarities of the program, and the ways its designers coped with the struggles of the circumstances of the pandemic years via the author’s (i.e. program manager’s) participative-observational narrative description, a brief interpretation of students’ cross cultural resilience is being introduced based on a survey carried out amongst the first graduates. Their feedback is overall positive regarding the development of their own self-perceived cross cultural resilience. Also, it may be concluded that the newly introduced major could cope with the challenges that occurred during the years of the Pandemic.

The practical significance of this report is obvious, as it reflects on relevant lessons that may be learnt by the management of the program and initiators of future programs alike. It also calls attention to the significance of the learner’s role shift that may be attached to the OECD 2030 Learning Compass framework.

Published: November 2023

Se aplicó una modificación propia del índice de condición corporal, técnica no invasiva, para evaluar las condiciones de salud de tapires (Tapirus bairdii) registrados mediante fototrampeo en 2019 y 2020 en sitios conservados de la Reserva de la Biósfera Montes Azules (Rebima) y en dos fragmentos de selva adyacentes (Reservas Ejidales [RE]) con perturbación moderada. En los 40 registros evaluados, los de categoría de condición corporal 3 (regular, n = 22, 55%) y 4 (musculoso, n = 16, 40%) fueron más frecuentes que los de categoría 2 (delgado, n = 2, 5%), 1 (emaciado, n = 0, 0%) y 5 (obeso, n = 0, 0%). No se encontraron diferencias significativas en las frecuencias de registros entre sitios ni con los de un muestreo previo (2015). Se discute el papel de las RE en el mantenimiento del buen estado de salud de los tapires en la Selva Lacandona y el uso del fototrampeo para evaluar su condición corporal de manera no invasiva.

La estructura patriarcal y la constante violencia contra las mujeres en México
Authors: Martínez Gómez Cecilia
Published: November 2023

El análisis se realiza debido al continuo aumento en el número de feminicidios que suceden en México. Se enfoca en los factores que impiden la disminución de estos delitos contra las mujeres por el simple hecho de serlo, como el patriarcado tradicional y género, el patriarcado en la salud, el patriarcado en la política, el patriarcado en el sistema económico neoliberal, las formas de las relaciones sociales, la revictimización por parte del Estado y la impunidad penal. Por lo tanto, la solución a este problema de la violencia contra las mujeres no se encuentra únicamente en el ámbito del derecho, sino que una gran parte se encuentra en el ámbito de las relaciones sociales.

Violencia, el factor que impide el adecuado funcionamiento del Acuerdo de Paz en Colombia
Authors: Aguado Romero Gabriela , Deaquiz Rodríguez César Augusto
Published: November 2023

El presente artículo conceptualiza varias de las palabras clave dentro del Acuerdo de paz firmado en Colombia en 2016. El propósito de esta conceptualización es entender teórica y académicamente qué es el Acuerdo de paz y encontrar cuáles son los motivos de rechazo al mismo. La conceptualización se construye a partir de posturas filosóficas con el fin de poder relacionar humana y socialmente el comportamiento de la sociedad colombiana respecto al Acuerdo. Además, cuestionar si la violencia, la guerra y la paz en el proceso histórico de Colombia han determinado la construcción de la realidad y actualidad del país, generando así una conducta social enmarcada dentro del derecho positivo o del derecho natural y que genera rechazo al Acuerdo, aclarando que este rechazo es suscitado en ambos bandos del conflicto.

Objective: to understand the experiences of stigma perceived by mothers of children with congenital Zika virus syndrome and its repercussions. Methods: a qualitative study was carried out with 12 mothers who responded to semi-structured interviews. Correspondence Factor Analysis and Descending Hierarchical Classification were carried out using the IRaMuTeQ software. Results: four classes emerged that deal with the experience of perceiving stigma: Perceiving public discrimination; Stigmatizing behaviors and their repercussions; Feeling guilty and adopting coping strategies; Experiencing rejection from the father, others and feeling lonely. Conclusion: stigma is perceived by mothers of children with congenital Zika virus syndrome in affective, family, and social interactions, expressed through rejection, withdrawal and exclusion resulting in suffering for the mothers, who adopt hiding the child and self-isolation as coping strategies. Contributions to practice: nursing should identify signs of social isolation, deep sadness and stress related to the stigma of being the mother of a child with congenital Zika virus syndrome and draw up care plans to prevent maternal illness.

Solutrean macrofauna from Cova de les Cendres (Alicante, Spain): zooarchaeological and taphonomic analysis
Authors: Monterrosa Silvia , Real Cristina , Sanchis Alfred , Villaverde Valentín
Published: November 2023

Zooarchaeological and taphonomic analysis were performed on the macrofaunal remains from Solutrean levels XIII and XIV (ca. 17 and 20 ka cal BP) of Cova de les Cendres. The faunal assemblage shows predominance of red deer, followed by Spanish ibex and equids, among which wild ass (Equus hydruntinus) was identified. Carnivores are well represented in level XIII, especially the lynx, whereas they are very rare in level XIV. Different activities of the butchery process were documented in the main taxa, showing an intensive exploitation of different animal resources, such as meat, fur, and raw material for tools and ornaments. Our results provide new zooarchaeological data on the Solutrean hunting system and shed light on the human subsistence variations in response to late glacial climate changes in the central area of the Mediterranean Iberia.
