Published: October 2024

The article deals with issues that help assess the role of the Muslim population of France in the presidential elections held in the country in the 21st century. The author demonstrates the specific features of the participation of Muslim voters in each of the election campaigns held. A number of statistical data are brought together into one whole, which allow an objective assessment of the role of the “Islamic factor” in the electoral processes of the Fifth Republic. The author also demonstrates the dynamics in the attitude of the French people and candidates for the post of head of state to the “Muslim question”, the need to study which is closely related to the country internal policy and to the foreign one. In addition, the article draws the researchers’ attention to the ambiguity of understanding by the population of France (both ordinary people and politicians) of the concept of “secularism”, which is included in the set of basic republican values, demonstrates the main approaches to understanding its essence. In fact, the author substantiates the need for constant monitoring the attitude of the Muslim population of France to the electoral processes (mainly to the presidential elections) in the country in order to be able to predict the results of voting and, as a result, to adequately and promptly respond to the results of election campaigns.
“OH WONDROUS NEW ‘1984’ ”. REGIME ASPECTS OF DIGITAL (ANTI)UTOPIA
Authors:   Institute for Advanced Studies and Professional Retraining of Educational Workers of the Tula Region, Korolev Pavel A.
Published: October 2024

The first quarter of the 21st century has demonstrated significant progress of humanity in digital technologies: from mobile and Internet communications, which have become publicly accessible from almost anywhere on Earth, to artificial intelligence technologies that can supplant the creative work of the human creator. However, digital technologies and the achievements of recent years are considered, first of all, as a means of increasing the comfort of human life or a business tool, but not as a means of creating a fundamentally new format of the political regime. New information technologies have the potential to solve issues of the political regime that seemed insoluble in the past: it becomes possible to ensure total political control over a citizen by the state using tracking tools (video cameras, social networks, digital monetary transactions) in time and space, almost complete linking of material and a person’s social well-being to the level of his loyalty to the political regime (digital currencies of central banks, basic unconditional income, social rating system), etc. Therefore, it seems relevant to analyze a number of respective concepts, practices and means in relation to the process of transformation of the political regime as a form of state

As imagens fazem parte de nosso cotidiano. Elas comunicam, estabelecem relações, transmitem ideias e afetos, delimitam grupos e circuitos sociais, atestam ou contestam “fatos”, podem ser expostas ou censuradas e, assim, se apresentam como parte significativa da experiência humana no e com o mundo. As imagens se sujeitam às escolhas de quem as produz, encomenda, patrocina, de quem as coloca em circulação, seja no seu contexto inicialmente planejado ou através das mais diversas descontextualizações. Até mesmo as imagens mais pretensamente inocentes e objetivas, como aquelas fotografias que congelam um instante familiar no tempo ou registram a segurança de um recinto, estão sujeitas a enquadramentos e intencionalidades. Talvez nenhuma imagem seja produzida inocentemente. Mesmo que seja, ela pode ser reapropriada e ressignificada. Diante de tantos usos e possibilidades, esta obra coletiva congrega estudos e partilhas sobre arte de rua, figurinhas, mangás, charges, ilustrações, fotografia, cinema e percepção visual, visando fornecer um panorama diverso para pesquisadores e curiosos na temática das visualidades.

Published: October 2024

This study comprehensively analyses the performance of the artificial intelligence (AI)-based language model, ChatGPT 4.0, in solving Spanish university admission tests in applied mathematics in social sciences. Using exams taken at public universities in Madrid, we have analysed ChatGPT’s answers and concluded that its performance varies significantly across different areas of mathematics, excelling in probability and statistics exercises, but performing significantly worse in algebra and calculus. When compared with students, ChatGPT clearly outperforms them in all areas except algebra. Despite the model’s limitations in interpreting complex mathematical ideas, in some cases its responses are positively surprising, indicating its potential as a valuable tool in certain mathematical problem-solving scenarios. Our results suggest significant potential for the introduction of these AI-based systems into the classroom. Despite the progress made, much remains to be explored regarding the efficient integration of chatbots into course development and the subsequent impact on education.

Published: October 2024

Beginning teachers benefit from preparation emphasizing supporting students with diverse needs and developing deeper understandings of algebraic connections. Our study aims to explore how instructors in secondary preparation programs and mathematics preservice teachers (M-PSTs) conceptualize and enact algebraic connections in required courses. Our dataset comprises instructor interviews and course materials from 48 courses across five universities, and 10 focus group interviews involving 37 M-PSTs. Employing constant comparison method, we analyzed data by creating a coding system for algebraic connections. Our findings highlight varying perspectives of M-PSTs and instructors related to encounters with algebraic connections, emphasis of algebraic connection types by both groups, and types emphasized as main objectives of courses in five secondary mathematics teacher education programs. We describe nine algebraic connection themes that were identified in this investigation. We discuss emergent implications for curriculum development, instructional practices, and foundational algebraic concepts in teacher preparation programs.

Nelle società patriarcali, cultura, religione e diritto si miscelano nella costruzione di comunità caratterizzate dalla prevalenza del maschio sulla femmina, con una ingente serie di conseguenze giuridiche, che riguardano ruoli, mestieri e comportamenti. Davanti a tale situazione – radicata in tutta Europa – le donne, in una storia plurimillenaria, mirarono spesso a «fingersi maschio», cioè a «maschilizzarsi», cercando nell’abbigliamento, nel taglio dei capelli, nelle modalità di interazione con gli altri) di farsi passare per uomini e conseguirne vantaggi di vario genere. Le società patriarcali le sanzionarono più o meno duramente, mentre, in alcuni altri casi, il diritto stesso – dotto o tradizionale – «finse» che, al ricorrere di determinate circostanze, la donna fosse uomo, attribuendole certi diritti al fine di risolvere questioni di rilievo: una maschilizzazione lecita. Il volume ripercorre e interpreta questa tematica, estremamente varia e complessa, in chiave storico-giuridica, con una apertura antropologica.
Die Persönlichkeitsstörung in der ICD-11
Authors: Walter Alica , Berberich Götz
Published: October 2024

Mit dem alternativen DSM-5-Modell der Persönlichkeitsstörungen und dem Kapitel über die Persönlichkeitsstörung (PS) in der ICD-11 haben sich dimensionale Persönlichkeitsmodelle in den Klassifikationssystemen zunehmend durchgesetzt. Damit wird eine differenzierte Betrachtung unterschiedlicher Ausprägungsgrade der PS, die Diagnostik des Funktionsniveaus der Persönlichkeit und die Erfassung von Persönlichkeitsmerkmalen in variabler Kombination zum Standard. Ob hingegen die bisherigen PS-Kategorien im klinischen Alltag an Bedeutung verlieren, bleibt abzuwarten. Im Artikel werden die Vorund Nachteile der dimensionalen PS-Diagnostik für die Therapie im Alter diskutiert. Sie ermöglicht die Ermittlung des Interventionsbedarfs auch bei subsyndromaler Ausprägung und eine verbesserte Abbildung des Therapieverlaufs, bedarf aber der Einbettung in übergeordnete Verständnisund Therapiekonzepte.

Published: October 2024

Während der COVID-19-Pandemie ist die psychische Belastung bei älteren Menschen gestiegen. Transdiagnostische Faktoren wie das Erleben traumatischer Erfahrungen in der Kindheit und Jugend, maladaptive Persönlichkeitsmerkmale, Mentalisierung und Emotionsdysregulation sind relevant für die Entwicklung und Aufrechterhaltung psychischer Probleme und können daher bei den Reaktionen älterer Menschen auf die Pandemie eine Rolle spielen. Diese Studie untersucht Zusammenhänge zwischen diesen Faktoren bei Älteren während der COVID-19-Pandemie. In einem onlinebasierten Querschnittsdesign wurden Daten einer Teilstichprobe älterer Personen ab 65 Jahren (n = 156) der PACE-Studie mit Selbsteinschätzungsinstrumenten (PID5BF+; MentS; DERS-SF; PHQ-9; CTQ) ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse der Korrelationsund Regressionsanalysen zeigen einen Zusammenhang bei älteren Personen zwischen der subjektiv empfundenen Belastung durch Kontaktbeschränkungen und Emotionsdysregulation, maladaptiven Persönlichkeitsmerkmalen, traumatischen Erfahrungen in der Kindheit und Jugend und psychischer Belastung. Die Befunde weisen darauf hin frühzeitig Belastung durch soziale Einschränkungen zu erkennen und dieser vorzubeugen, sowie die Emotionsregulationsfähigkeit bei älteren Personen bei der Entwicklung von Präventionsund Interventionsmaßnahmen bei Älteren zu berücksichtigen.
Regeneración de plantas a partir de embriones maduros de maíz (Zea mays L.)
Authors: Esteves P.
Published: October 2024

Escutelo, plúmula, radícula y tejido nodal de embriones maduros de un híbrido comercial F1 de maíz fueron cultivados in vitro para evaluar la inducción de callos capaces de regenerar plantas. Entre 6 y 10 días después de iniciados los cultivos, los tejidos de la plúmula se amarronaron y murieron. Lo mismo se observó entre 15 y 20 días luego de la siembra para las porciones de escutelo. En las condiciones ensayadas, sólo la región del nudo embrionario y de las radículas fueron explantos adecuados para inducir callos. Luego de 90 días en cultivo, al transferir los callos al medio de regeneración, se obtuvieron plantas regeneradas del 42 % (promedio de dos ensayos) de los callos viables inducidos a partir de la zona nodal. Los callos formados a partir de radículas diferenciaron sólo raíces en todos los casos. Se presenta en este trabajo un protocolo simple y eficiente para obtener regeneración de plantas de maíz a partir de callos inducidos del nudo central de granos maduros .
Sistemas campesinos del noroeste de Córdoba (Argentina): Un estudio de caso en pedanías del Dpto. Ischilín
Authors: Silvetti F. , Soto G.
Published: October 2024

Se estudió el proceso de producción en predios de campesinos principalmente artesanos (CPA) y principalmente ganaderos (CPG) de dos comunidades del noroeste de Córdoba, partiendo de un enfoque sistémico. Para la recolección de datos se utilizó el método de estudio de caso. En cada caso se analizó el sistema global (unidad de producción) y sus subsistemas componentes. Una vez cuantificada la magnitud de cada componente, los flujos de bienes y mano de obra entre los componentes; y los flujos de productos, mano de obra y dinero entre la unidad de producción y el contexto, se analizaron los atributos sistémicos de balance, periodicidad y estilo, que condicionan el equilibrio interno de la unidad de producción. Se concluyó que, si bien comparten una misma racionalidad económica, el sistema CPA y el CPG presentan diferencias a nivel de limitantes estructurales, estrategias productivas, complejidad interna, equilibrio interno y relación con el contexto. A pesar de su mayor equilibrio interno actual, la vulnerabilidad del sistema CPA ante posibles cambios externos o internos es mayor, debido a su escasa dotación de capital y recursos naturales y su relación fuertemente asimétrica con los mercados.
High performance RF and microwave processing with microcombs
Authors: Moss David
Published: October 2024

We demonstrate advanced transversal radio frequency (RF) and microwave functions based on a Kerr optical comb source generated by an integrated micro-ring resonator. We achieve extremely high performance for an optical true time delay aimed at tunable phased array antenna applications, as well as reconfigurable microwave photonic filters. Our results agree well with theory. The true time delay we show would yield a phased array antenna with features that include high angular resolution and a wide range of beam steering angles, while the microwave photonic filters feature improved Q factors, wideband tunability, and highly reconfigurable filtering shapes. These results show that our approach is a competitive solution to implementing reconfigurable, high performance and potentially low cost RF and microwave signal processing functions for numerous applications including radar and communication systems.
Numerical Differentiation by Integration (NDBI) in the Context of Ordinary Differential Equation Estimation Problems
Authors: Strebel Oliver
Published: October 2024

Parameter or model estimation of ordinary differential equations (ODE) involves nowadays frequentlythe numerical calculation of derivatives from noisy data. This article presents a noveldifferentiation method (NDBI) for such calculations. The method is benchmarked against 57 differentialequations and compared to five numerical differentiation methods: central finite differences,numerical derivatives using the Friedrichs mollifier, weak differentiation using this mollifier, firstorder polynomial approximation and spectral derivatives. For the latter method a novel criterionis presented that allows the determination of the low pass filter parameter. The hyperparametersof all these methods are optimized in order to get a reasonable comparison. The resilience againstlarger noise or fewer data points per time interval is examined. It turns out that the novel methodis overall superior to the other methods. The derivative for the 42 real world data points of theHudson bay lynx hare data (years 1900-1920) is also calculated. The results match the derivativeof a curve fit to the data points astonishingly close. Using a Savitsky-Golay filter the method canbe leveraged to calculate second and third order derivatives, so that the results are close to thetheoretically expected outcome.

Investigation of the impact of exploring a novel virtual environment on episodic memory performance
Authors: Servais Anaïs , Schomaker Judith , Bastin Christine
Published: October 2024

Whether exposure to a novel environment in virtual reality improves subsequent verbal memory or not is still debated. The present study aims to replicate previous positive findings. To do so, we assessed whether exploration of a novel virtual environment leads to better word memory in a task performed afterwards than exploration of a familiar environment and whether this effect is related to the exploratory behavior. Fifty-five participants completed three sessions that took place on different days. The first session consisted of assessing the baseline memory performance. Participants encoded a list of 40 words and then freely recalled as many words as possible immediately after a 30-second distraction task and a 24-hour delay. In the second session, participants familiarized themselves with a virtual environment and then explored either the familiar or a novel environment before performing the same memory task with different words. In the third, participants explored the familiar or novel virtual environment (according to the counterbalancing design) before performing the memory task. Like some previous studies, our results failed to find a positive impact of exploring a novel environment (spatial novelty) on memory. Rather, we observed that recall is higher after exploring a virtual environment (regardless of it being novel or familiar) compared to the baseline performance. In fact, the experience of virtual reality might induce another type of novelty, called distinct novelty, which could impact memory too. Furthermore, our results suggest a negative correlation between age and the novelty effect, encouraging the future investigation of individual factors.

Reliable estimates of death rates in complex humanitarian emergencies are criticalfor assessing the severity of a crisis and for effectively allocating resources. However,in many humanitarian settings, logistical and security concerns make conventionalmethods for estimating death rates infeasible. We develop and test a new methodfor estimating death rates in humanitarian emergencies using reports of deaths insurvey respondents’ social networks. To test our method, we collected original data inTanganyika Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a setting where reliableestimates of death rates are in high demand. Qualitative fieldwork suggested testingtwo different types of personal networks as the basis for death rate estimates: deathsamong immediate neighbors and deaths among kin. We benchmarked our networkestimates against a standard retrospective household mortality survey, which estimateda crude death rate nearly twice as high as our network-based methods. Given bothmethods are equally plausible, our findings underscore the need for further validationand development of both methods.
Causal Relationship between Money, Price and Income in Asian Countries (1964-2011)
Authors: Gyanwaly Ram Prasad
Published: October 2024

Monetary and fiscal policies are used for macroeconomic stabilization and to achieve low level of inflation and high level of economic growth. To execute these policies direction of causality between money, price, and income should be known. It is in this connection that this study examined the direction of causality between money, price and income in Asian countries namely- Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Korea using the annual time series data of the period 1964-2011. Bivariate Granger causality test was performed for both non-cointegrated and cointegrated variables using conventional Granger F test and ECM models respectively. Causal nexus between these variables, in some extent, differed from one structure of economy to another but in all countries money was causing price and income. Feedback effects were coming either from price or income or the both. Thus, this study reaches to the conclusion that money supply is an endogenous variable in all the countries, though the extent of endogeneity in term of price and income variables slightly differs from one to another. Thus conventional concept of purely exogenous money supply is invalid. Money causes the both price and income and is receiving the feedback effects either from price or income or the both.The Economic Journal of Nepal, Vol. 35, No. 1, January-March 2012 (Issue N0. 137)
Structuring Labour Migration in Rural Nepal: A Case of Babiyabirta VDC, Morang, Nepal
Authors: Gurung Yogendra B.
Published: October 2024

Labour migration has been a patterned behavior in Nepal. It has tremendous implication on country’s social and economic development. In this regard, this paper tries to identify structure of labour migration from rural Nepal based on data obtained from a micro-level sample survey conducted in 2009. The survey collected both quantitative and qualitative information. Findings suggest that migration is a result of an interactive function of multilevel social structures –individual, household and community structures or a larger society. The social structure plays a role of social networks by sharing experiences and information and facilitating potential migrants in the society. Household accumulates knowledge about migration through the interaction with community people and larger society and interact with family members. Finally, household takes decision whether and who (household member) to involve in migration.Out-migration is pervasive among individuals that are able bodied, literate, and even educated males and they mostly belong to hill origin. Most of them are from household with land but size of land is small so about 77 percent families are facing the problem of food insufficiency. Regarding community and larger social structure, there are about a dozen of formal social and development organizations currently active in Babiyabirta. Access to these organizations is relatively better among migrant’s households. Friends, relatives, neighbors, recruitment agencies, and agents are the main actors among the social networks. It is instrumental to connect villagers with foreign labour migration by channeling the migration process at three levels – origin, other intermediate cities, Kathmandu, and destination. They provide knowledge about migration, financial support, and help in the process. The Economic Journal of Nepal, Vol. 35, No. 1, January-March 2012 (Issue N0. 137)
Effect of Climate Change on Rice Farming and its Coping Strategies

Published: October 2024

Rice is staple crop in Nepal and various factors play an important role in the fluctuating production of rice. By assuming the decrease in yield is due to change in various parameters of climate. Winds, droughts, rainfall, hailstones and erosion were the basic climatic factors undertaken for the study. Result depicted that ninety four percent of the respondents reported that they have been facing severe changes in climate as compared to 10 years before. Drought was the major parameter in effect of the rice farming. Rice has been replaced by maize for alternatives. However, the consumption pattern shows 97 percent of peoples prefer to have rice as a major food. Therefore, drought tolerant varieties such as Sukkha-1, Sukkha-2, Sukkha-3, Khumal-10 and Khumal-13 should be introduced in the study areas. Also, SRI (System of Rice Intensification) could be other possibilities to cope with the climate changes.The Economic Journal of Nepal, Vol. 35, No. 1, January-March 2012 (Issue N0. 137)
Role of Shadow Prices in Economic Analysis: Estimating True Economic Value beyond Market Prices
Authors: Nepal Pramshu
Published: October 2024

Shadow prices or accounting prices are crucial for accurately valuing factors and products beyond their market prices. They adjust for market distortions, externalities, and other factors to reflect the true social value of goods and services. In cost-benefit analysis, shadow prices are used to evaluate the social profitability of public sector projects by translating market prices into more accurate measures of economic value through conversion factors. Shadow prices, such as shadow wages and shadow exchange rates, fluctuate based on local conditions like unemployment and balance of payments issues. They provide a more realistic view of resource value, particularly important for developing countries. Incorporating shadow prices helps address market failures, improve the accuracy of cost-benefit analyses, and inform policy decisions on subsidies, taxes, and resource management. Despite challenges like data limitations and static assumptions, shadow pricing is vital for optimizing resource allocation and supporting sustainable development by considering broader societal impacts, especially in economies where market distortions are significant.
