Construction Labour Measurement in Reinforced Concrete Floating Caissons in Maritime Ports
Authors: Pérez-Díaz Pedro , Martín-Dorta Norena , Gutiérrez-García Francisco Javier
Published: February 2022

This research work attempts to approach the measuring of the working equipment necessary to make floating caissons for maritime work and their performances. With this objective, an empirical study has been carried out based on the construction of five floating caissons with a rectangular layout of 34.00 meters in length, 17.00 meters in width, and 19.00 meters in depth, lightened with 32 vertical cells. This work was carried out in the port of Granadilla, Tenerife (Spain). The updated scientific literature related to the execution of this type of floating structure refers to the importance of the calculation hypotheses, the actions to be taken into account, the service states or the importance of the choice of materials (concrete and steel). However, scientific research does not seem to face the problem of how to size the working team necessary to execute this type of structure. The work force is approached from the point of view of the adequate sizing of working groups. The important contribution of the article to the project and construction management literature is the development and capability of an easy-to-use optimization model for planning the labour and labour days required in floating caisson construction. The optimization model proposed in this research allows the project managers of a construction company to estimate the labour costs and teams necessary in the execution of the construction. This gives it a competitive advantage both in the construction phase and in the bidding phase for the award of the work. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-02-01 Full Text: PDF
Dendrogram Analysis and Statistical Examination for Total Microbiological Mesophilic Aerobic Count of Municipal Water Distribution Network System
Authors: Eissa Mostafa Essam , Rashed Engy Refaat , Eissa Dalia Essam
Published: February 2022

The microbiological quality of water for human consumption is a critical safety aspect that should not be overlooked, especially when considering facilities for healthcare and the treatment of ill populations. Thus, the biological stability of water is crucial for the distribution network that delivers potable water to the final users for consumption and other human activities. The present work aimed to study a municipal distribution network system for city water within a healthcare facility. The implementation of the statistical analysis was conducted over long-term data collection, and the comparative study for the microbiological count of the water samples - from different points-of-use was assessed using the non-parametric analysis of the Kruskal-Wallis test. The comparative study involved a preliminary general one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) followed by ad-hoc pairwise comparison. The statistical study involved a correlation matrix and a dendrogram to elucidate the level of association between different sections in the network. The ports C4 and C13 were at the trough in the microbiological count, in contrast to C13, which showed the highest level of the average microbial density. Despite a low to moderate level of correlation between the datasets of the water network, the tree diagram (dendrogram) analysis showed remarkable clustering. Use points could be grouped into three dense groups based on abrupt cuts in the similarity value. The study was useful in the analysis of the pattern and behavior of the microbial quality in a distribution water network in a specific area of the study. This work in turn would help in investigating the areas of improvement and defect spotting, in addition to assessing the biological stability of the water distribution system. The study could be extended to cover other different processed water networks, such as distilled, deionized, and purified water, as well as Water-For-Injection (WFI). Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2022-03-01-03 Full Text: PDF
Quantum Mechanics Approach for Appropriately Chosen Hamiltonian
Authors: KAYA Ahmet
Published: February 2022

Risk theory has always played a significant role in mathematical finance and actuarial sciences. A novel approach to the risk theory of non-life insurance is quantum mechanics. To compute finite-time non-ruin probability, I introduce the quantum mechanics formalism in discrete space and continuous space with the appropriately chosen Hamiltonian. By using the quantum mechanics approach and the stochastic method, the non-ruin operator is defined, and tensor products of operator concepts are presented for several examples.

In this paper, Dirac notations are operated to find the Hamiltonian matrix with the eigenvector basis for two and three-state cases, and its tensor product version with a change of basis.

Authors: YÜZBAŞI KÜNÇ Gonca
Published: February 2022

Turizmin ekonomiye sürekli artan katkısı, ülke ekonomileri içinde önemsenen bir sektör haline gelmesine neden olmuştur. Ülkeler sadece ekonomi odaklı gelişmeye çalıştıklarından, çevresel faktörleri genellikle göz ardı etmektedirler. Bu açıdan turizm gelişiminin çevre ile nasıl bir ilişki içerisinde olduğunu araştırmak çalışmanın amacını meydana getirmektedir. Bu kapsamda çalışmada turizm göstergelerinin etkinliği ile çevre performansı arasındaki uygunluk ilişkisi incelenmiştir. Çalışmada rasgele seçilen 50 ülkenin 2018 yılına ait turizm göstergeleri kullanılarak veri zarflama analizi ile etkinlik skorları hesaplanmıştır. Daha sonra ülkelerin Çevre Performans Endeksi sıralamalarına göre grupları incelenmiştir. Ülkelerin turizm etkinlik değerleri ve ÇPE grupları kullanılarak uygunluk analizi yapılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre turizm etkinliği ile çevre performansı arasında belirli bir uygunluk ilişkisi vardır. Ancak bu uygunluk ilişkisi günümüzde yaşanan çevresel problemleri önleyecek derecede yeterli değildir.
GEORGE RYGA AND ENGLISH-CANADIAN THEATRE
Authors: Polkovsky Valerii
Published: February 2022

The article considers the contribution of the famous Canadian playwright of Ukrainian descent George Ryga into English-Canadian theatre. The most important feature of Ryga’s style is a special attention to the life, feelings, struggles of downtrodden (marginalized, oppressed, neglected, abused) people in a Canadian society (whether they are Indians, Ukrainians, Italians, or other nation or nationality) with a humane and dignified face under unbearable conditions of physical, moral, existential survival. Psychological nuances are presented by George Ryga vividly, persuasively and convincingly. George Ryga is one of the pillars of building a strong and nationally-oriented EnglishCanadian theatre and drama. Ryga Studies have to pick up their tempo here in Canada (where exists substantial literature on his creative heritage and its peculiarities), and especially in Ukraine (where Ryga, unfortunately and undeservedly, remains basically unknown and unresearched, in spite of some positive steps towards appreciation and recognition of its diverse literary heritage for Ukraine).

Published: February 2022

A utilização de concreto leve (CL) representa grande desafio devido a redução das propriedades mecânicas causadas pela substituição do agregado convencional por agregado leve. Frente ao exposto, este trabalho objetivou verificar o efeito da adição de 10% de sílica ativa (SA) em traços de concretos com substituição de 50% e 100% do volume de brita por argila expandida (AE). No estado fresco, foi analisado o teor de aditivo superplastificante necessário para obter a consistência de 100±20 mm através do ensaio de slump test. No estado endurecido, foram analisadas as resistências à tração e à compressão aos 3, 7 e 21 dias de hidratação. Foi observada diminuição do desempenho mecânico do concreto quando a brita foi substituída por AE. Apesar dessa diminuição, os concretos leves resultaram em maiores relações resistência/peso. Foi observado que a adição de SA melhorou significativamente as propriedades mecânicas dos concretos leves. Dessa forma é possível concluir que a adição de SA pode compensar a perda de desempenho mecânico provocado pela substituição do agregado graúdo convencional pela argila expandida, sem ser necessário aumentar a quantidade de cimento da mistura.

Sociodemographic and lifestyle aspects versus access to breast cancer treatment — Single Health System (SHS) and Supplementary Health — were evaluated in a prospective cohort of patients with breast cancer. This is a cross-sectional study with 705 patients. As compared with sociodemographic characteristics, 56.5% (n=398) of the patients were seen through Supplementary Health, and for both SHS and Supplementary Health patients, there is a higher frequency of women aged above 50 years, with 62.2% (n=191) and 51% (n=203) (p=0.002); married, 48.2% (n=148) and 66.6% (n=265) (p <0.001); white, 69.4% (n=213) and 82.1% (n=325) (p<0.001); and for the level of education, 37.1% (n=114) of those with SHS had completed high school and 55.7% (n=221) (p<0.001) of those with Supplementary Health had completed college. The first mammogram occurred between the ages of 18 and 40 years, 72.5% (n=206) of the SHS participants and 88.6% (n=342) (p<0.001) for Supplementary Health; own housing for 90.6% (n=278) and 89.4% (n=354) (p<0.001); denied tobacco use, 65.5% (n=201) and 74.7% (n=296) (p=0.005); and alcohol consumption, 87.6% (n=269) and 77.2% (n=305) (p<0.001). However, there was no difference regarding previous diagnosis of breast cancer in 55.3% (n=114) and 64% (n=178) (p<0.001) and the type of care; eutrophic body mass index was 38.4% (n=118) and 42.1% (n=167) (p=0.079), respectively. Access to SHS and supplementary health care, age above 50 years, married, white, level of education, age at first mammogram, home ownership, smoking habits, and consumption of alcoholic beverages were significantly different; BMI was not different in the two groups. Therefore, the lifestyle of SHS and Supplementary Health patients was statistically different in this cohort of patients.

Objective: To study the efficacy of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for visually significant vitreous opacities in improving visual function and quality of life. Study Design: Interventional study. Setting: Department of Vitreoretinal Clinic of Ophthalmology, Nishtar University Hospital Multan. Period: May 2017 to August 2019. Material & Methods: A total of 50 patients of both genders, aged 35 to 65 years having lenticular status (Phakic or pseudophakic patients) and planned for PPV were enrolled for this study. All patients were examined on slit lamp bio microscope. Dilated fundus examination was performed with indirect ophthalmoscope using scleral indentation. Intraocular pressure was measured pre and postoperatively with Goldmann’s applanation tonometer under topical anaesthesia. Diagnosis was made on through clinical examination. All patients underwent 23 gauge PPV with or without silicon oil with endo laser. Best spectacle corrected visual acuity was recorded with help of Snellen chart. Results: There were 50 eyes of 50 patients in two groups, 40 phakic eyes (80%) and 10 pseudophakic eyes (20%) that underwent 3 PPV for visually significant opacities. There were 38 (76.0%) male and 12 (24.0%) female patients. Thirty four (68.0%) out of 50 patients showed improved best spectacle corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) and visual function while 18% had BCVA 6/24 – 6/18. Forty three (86.0%) patients reported quality of life and psychological feel improvement. Conclusion: Pars plana vitrectomy is a safe, effective and viable option for annoying vitreous floaters. There are risks of retinal breaks, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and cataract. Surgeon must be ready for prompt handling of patient.

Several analgesics are suggested for pain management in mice. Nonsteroidal antiinflammatories (NSAIDs), such as meloxicam can be administered for the treatment of inflammation and acute pain; however, several side effects can occur which include gastrointestinal ulceration and renal
and hepatic toxicity. We previously performed a pilot study to test the antinociceptive activity of meloxicam in mice, but we observed behavioral changes in unoperated control mice. These observations spurred further investigation. One hypothesis for the result was potential differences in
formulation between commercial brands of meloxicam. Thus, this current study aimed to evaluate the effects of 3 different commercial brands of meloxicam (20 mg/kg) in the general activity of mice using the open field test. Our results showed that meloxicam had several effects on mouse behavior
and caused the formation of skin lesions at the injection site, depending on the brand of the drug. The most significant adverse effect observed was decreased exploratory activity. Grooming frequency was reduced in all groups. These adverse effects might be related to the quality of the drugs
because meloxicam formulations can contain crystal polymorphisms that affect drug quality and efficacy. This study points out the importance of drug quality variation that can affect the outcome of behavioral studies in mice.
Narradoras nómadas y transcripciones transnacionales. Los ingrávidos de Valeria Luiselli y Más al sur de Paloma Vidal
Authors: Staes Sarah
Published: February 2022

Los ingrávidos de Valeria Luiselli (nacida en la Ciudad de México, residente actualmente en Nueva York) y Más al sur de Paloma Vidal (nacida en Buenos Aires, afincada en San Pablo) destacan por su composición fragmentaria que gravita en torno a la porosidad perpetua de esferas temporales, (meta)físicas, culturales y lingüísticas. Vinculada con geografías y lenguas latinoamericanas, una variedad de narradores-personajes autoficcionales indaga en la pertenencia. Al analizar el “ethos”, descrito por Dominique Maingueneau como la imagen de la instancia enunciativa, y la “postura” de las autoras, exploraremos una fracción de lo que Myriam Suchet llamó el “imaginario heterolingüe”. Veremos que Luiselli y Vidal designan una agencia distinta al sujeto traductor y que han tenido distintas trayectorias de traducción y circulación.
Percepciones latinxs del cruce lingüístico en textos literarios: el reto de la (pos)modernidad en los Estados Unidos
Authors: Aguiló Mora Francisca , Lynch Andrew
Published: February 2022

Los cruces lingüísticos en la producción literaria latino-caribeña desarrollan en los estudiantes de español como lengua de herencia (ELH) una conciencia de los valores socioculturales y pragmáticos del discurso multilingüe. Ben Rampton argumenta que los cruces lingüísticos desestabilizan identidades étnicas tal como se conceptualizan en discursos públicos y político-normativos en espacios globalizados (2000). Partiendo de esta base teórica, el presente estudio planteó una serie de cuestiones a estudiantes de ELH en respuesta a una variedad de extractos de textos literarios latinos y caribeños que contienen español e inglés. Los hallazgos generales sugieren que, a pesar de que estos textos cuestionan los límites discursivos de las definiciones tradicionales de ‘lo americano’ y ‘lo caribeño’ en lo que se refiere a demarcaciones lingüísticas y cánones literarios, muchos de estos hablantes en los EUA proyectan una visión en gran medida monolingüe y monolítica en lo que se refiere a identidades nacionales y etnolingüísticas.

Приведены результаты экспериментальных исследований на взрослых крысах Вистар, которым в течение 90 дней вводили галоперидол в дозах от 15 до 5 мг в сутки и димефосфон в дозе 208 мг/кг (внутрь). Изменения в костной ткани оценивали методом гистоморфометрии (измерение толщины кортикальной пластинки, трабекул губчатого вещества и площади межтрабекулярного пространства костной ткани). Показано уменьшение толщины кортикальной пластинки и трабекул губчатого вещества в 2 раза (p < 0,01), а также увеличение площади межтрабекулярного пространства в среднем в 2 раза (p < 0,01), у крыс после применения галоперидола (внутрибрюшинного введения от 15 до 5 мг в сутки по схеме, в течение 90 дней), по сравнению с контрольной группой. Совместное использование галоперидола и димефосфона не дало статистически достоверных отличий в показателях площади межтрабекулярного пространства, толщины трабекул и толщины кортикальной пластинки как по сравнению с контролем, так и по сравнению с группой галоперидола. Однако результаты настоящего исследования позволяют предположить антирезорбтивный эффект димефосфона, выражающийся в незначительном увеличении толщины костных трабекул при совместном приеме галоперидола и димефосфона.
Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Fiber Reinforced Concrete Pavement under Dynamic Loading
Authors: Shakir Hadeel M. , Al-Azzawi Adel A. , Al-Tameemi Ahmed Farhan
Published: February 2022

The analysis of rigid pavements is a complex mission for many reasons. First, the loading conditions include the repetition of parts of the applied loads (cyclic loads), which produce fatigue in the pavement materials. Additionally, the climatic conditions reveal an important role in the performance of the pavement since the expansion or contraction induced by temperature differences may significantly change the supporting conditions of the pavement. There is an extra difficulty because the pavement structure is made of completely different materials, such as concrete, steel, and soil, with problems related to their interfaces like contact or friction. Because of the problem's difficulty, the finite element simulation is the best technique incorporated in the analysis of rigid pavements. The ABAQUS software was used to conduct the response of previously tested specimens under different loading conditions. Good agreement between the laboratory and finite element results was observed. The maximum differences between experimental and finite element outcomes in terms of ultimate loads and ultimate deflection for rigid pavements under monotonic loading are 6% and 8%, respectively, and 10% and 18% respectively for the repeated load.

Challenges Faced by The Recovered Youth Drug Addict s in Their Normal Lives: An Exploratory Study in Darjeeling District of West Bengal, India
Authors: Lama Anmol , Patel Sasmita
Published: February 2022

Addiction has been a big worry in our society in recent years because of its complicated nature, which frequently resembles a chronic disease that affects both the brain and the body. Drug addiction is common among youth who are unable to cope with modern society's rules. Simultaneously, some kids are seeking help from various specialists, to come out clean. However, the problem for them does not end there, they may have difficulties resettling into normal life. They may be having trouble dealing with a traumatic experience that is holding them back or having trouble establishing a routine to reestablish normalcy or find work, among other things. The data for this qualitative study was collected using a semi-structured interview schedule as a tool and a Case study as a technique. Researchers used in-depth interviews to study and explore the multi-faceted challenges faced by recovered drug addicts in their normal lives after leaving rehab, as well as to understand the perception of drug addiction after recovery, its effect, causes, and other leading factors, with a focus on physical, spiritual, psychosocial, and socioeconomic challenges. Data were gathered from both primary and secondary sources. The study's primary respondents were ten cases who are recovered youth drug addicts between the ages of 20 and 34, who had completed their recovery and we're now living a normal life. As per findings, individuals have little awareness of drug addiction and have a preconception about drugs and drug addiction before consuming drugs. As a result of peer pressure, curiosity, abusive households, and other factors, the majority of them become addicts throughout adolescence and come from good socioeconomic situations, making narcotics easily accessible. The findings indicate that, after recovery, they mostly deal with society's stigma toward recovered addicts, which leads to overthinking and inability to keep sobriety, as well as failing to find inner selves and purpose in life.
Instrumentalizacja myślenia. O iluzji refleksyjności w kształceniu nauczycieli
Authors: Góralska Renata , Kosiorek Małgorzata
Published: February 2022

Contemporary teacher education research point out that one of the most important elements of teacher professionalism is reflexivity. Teacher (self)reflection is aimed at gaining autonomy, at not succumbing to uncritical traditions or established norms, at (self-)criticism, at not agreeing to follow “top-down orders”. In this perspective, reflexivity is a priority element of teacher training, which should be reflected in the teacher education programme. The authors reflect on the category of reflexivity in the context of professional development of teachers and teacher education. We refer to the reflection theory of Donald Schön, Max van Manen, Nevill Hatton and David Smith as well as Johan Luttenberg and Theo Bergen. The adopted research perspective for collecting and interpreting empirical material is a critical discourse analysis. The subject of the analysis is Regulation of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. The results of research and analyses indicate that the category of reflexivity is present in educational programmes only to a small extent and mainly refers to the level of technical reflexivity of a pragmatic nature. This is a consequence of the technical-scientistic, formalised approach to the construction of educational programmes in force in Poland. This programme is oriented towards instrumentally understood objectives and the usefulness of knowledge and skills on the labour market. A consequence of this is the lack of the broadly understood category of reflexivity as a deep reflection on action. In the analysed document, reflexivity is illusory and apparent in its nature, appears only to a limited extent, and is treated instrumentally.

Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the morphological and functional findings in a patient after methanol poisoning.
Examination methods: The patient (male, 38 years old) was suffered methanol poisoning in eight years ago (2012). The following tests and examinations were performed: neurological visual field XR test (Medmont M700), retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL), ganglion cell complex (GCC) and peripapillary vessel density (all using Avanti RTvue, Optovue), pattern electroretinography (PERG) and pattern visual evoked potential (PVEP) examination according to ISCEV methodology (Roland Consult Instrument) and brain MRI examination (Philips Achieva Dstream 3 T).
Results: The biggest changes were found in RNFL and VD. PERG also showed damage to retinal ganglion cell axons. In left eye we determined decrease in oscillations (in comparison with contralateral eye) at N35-P50 and P50-N95. VEPs in both eyes were significantly reduced, almost inconspicuous in the left eye. Extension of latency time of P100 was not identified. Functional MRI showed a bilateral decrease in voxel activity with a greater decrease in the left eye. There were postmalatical changes in the dorsal parts of the putamen on MRI. The width of the optic nerve and chiasm was physiological.
Conclusion: Asymmetric damaging of RNFL and cortical centres of the brain were determined. We registered large pathological changes in VD, which are probably responsible for the deepening of optic nerve excavation and further loss of nerve fibers of retinal ganglion cells, which have not yet been described in the literature. Following these results is possible to define direct damage of nerve structures and blood vessels by toxins of methanol metabolism in the acute stage and upcoming reparation processes in following periods.
“It Comes with Practice”: Pierogi-Making as Preserving and Imagining Polonia
Authors: Kulinski Wiktor
Published: February 2022

Pierogi-making is an everyday performance that is both an act of preservation and an active force that shapes the very heritage from which it draws. During participant observation that I engaged in with members of the Women’s Circle at a Polish Canadian cultural centre in Brantford, Ontario—referred to by its members as “the Hall”—in the summer of 2016, I was taught, through apprenticeship, how to make pierogi. The women under whom I apprenticed imagine the pierogi they make as being traditional in that they believe the recipe is drawn from an archive formed collectively by Polish Canadians. However, pierogi-makers also incorporate their own imaginings of what constitutes a traditional pierogi based on their individual experiences, lived realities, and desires for the future. While there is a passing down of what members of the Women’s Circle imagine as being the heritage of Polonia, those images are also rearticulated through an everyday performance that both conforms to and defies an imagined heritage that, like the act of making pierogi, “comes with practice.” Polish Canadians embody a quintessential migrant reality that exists between past, present, and future, between there and here, as formed by the experiences, performances, and imagination of its members. If Polonia is an imaginary, then pierogi are a punctum from which people of Polish descent draw their heritage. I argue that pierogi function as a kind of imagistic landscape on and through which the nation of Polonia is imagined and performed by its members.
Jiimaan, That Teaching Sister: Practices of Archival Care
Authors: Cole Jenn
Published: February 2022

The author reflects on what she has been learning about archives through beginning to work with a wiigwaasi jiimaan/birchbark canoe using traditional Anishinaabe technique and protocol. She articulates a performance practice with jiimaan intended to raise awareness of Indigenous presence in her home territory and the inspirited nature of many beings in archives. She thinks through how this practice enacts cultural reclamation, knowledge transmission to future generations, and critical questioning of archiving practices of performance materials.
Publication History: A Double-DOI-Based Method for Storing and/or Monitoring Information about Published and Corrected Academic Literature
Authors: Teixeira da Silva Jaime A. , Nazarovets Serhii
Published: February 2022

The status of published literature can change at any time in its history following publication, although existing structures in academic publishing for recording these changes, despite the existence of a number of robust tools—such as the digital object identifier (DOI)—appear to be insufficiently robust, or used too inconsistently or inefficiently, to deal with multiple corrections. In this article, an information storage method and corrective measure or tool is proposed—the ‘publication history’—that considers the full history and background of an article’s publication. The ‘publication history’ is adjusted to record changes to an article over time, and is thus a ‘live’ document, always open to modification and updating. The ‘publication history’ has the potential to accommodate, in a single document (in both PDF and HTML format), information about pre-publication (e.g., preprints) and post-publication events, including submission, resubmission, acceptance date, handling editors, peer-review format, corrections, expressions of concern, and retractions. The ‘publication history’ employs two DOIs, one for the article and one for any and all edits, to document these changes. Our proposal offers one possible solution for fortifying the integrity of peer review and the publication process pre- and post–peer review. The double-DOI-based ‘publication history’ can be applied to any document.

OUTCOMES OF SEVERE ASPHYXIA IN NEWBORNS
Authors: Levchenko L. , Vorona L.
Published: February 2022

One of the most promising methods to reduce the adverse effects of hypoxic-ischemic damage to the central nervous system in newborns is therapeutic hypothermia. This article provides a retrospective analysis of 27 medical histories of full-term newborns who had a history of severe asphyxia. The patients were divided into two groups. Group I included children (n=15) who received therapeutic hypothermia in the first 2 hours of life. Group II (n=12) included children who suffered severe asphyxia at birth, but did not receive therapeutic hypothermia for a number of reasons. A comparative assessment of the severity of neurological disorders, the duration of treatment in a specialized medical institution and the health status of children at the time of discharge from the hospital was carried out in groups of newborns.
Internet Infrastructure in Africa: Status and Opportunities
Authors: Tehsin Muhammad , Mehdi Muhammad Muntazir
Published: February 2022

There is a major information gap in Africa, where access to information is structurally disabled.This study was conducted taking the University of Dodoma in Tanzania as a case study. The causes for poor internet access were identified as: Lack of alignment between last-mile, middle-mile, and long-range network infrastructure; Tyranny of bad on-premises network design; Up to 15 network hops just to leave on-premises network architecture; Lack of best-practice templates and benchmarks for on-premises, middle-mile and national backbone network architecture in emerging and developing markets; and local operators charging exorbitant bandwidth prices. The US Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC) definition of broadband is 25 Mbps per host. The World Bank defines broadband as 12 Mbps per hundred consumers.According to the United Nations, broadband is a basic human right and an absolute necessity for productivity and sustainable growth
Selling the Foresight of Development: Prospects of China Pakistan Economic Corridor
Authors: Ahmad Muhammad Shakeel
Published: February 2022

Construction of perception and commodification of foresight is a political tool to hold control over the means of production and enhance a hegemonic control over the public sphere, imagination, and even mass perceptions. Foresight is a process to (re)produce commodities, but the process is itself a commodity. Foresight has become a commodity; now, it is a market product for sale and purchase. Politics of prospects related to CPEC and the construction of perceptions and meanings attached to the development process is a significant component of foresight.This paper is primarily an explanation of hermeneutical study CPEC by analyzing the existing perceptions and perceived prospects. The perceptions and perceived prospects provide an institutional base of forecasting and foresight. CPEC is operating in a larger capitalist system whose sole purpose is (re)production of capital in which superficial fascination of foresight and development are merely commodities for buying and selling. A qualitative approach has been used for analyzing the perceived prospects over CPEC. Pakistan perceives CPEC as the development of industry, infrastructure, and agriculture and a catalyst for economic growth development.
SUBVERSIVE POWER OF THE SUPERNATURAL: ELEMENTS OF MAGIC REALISM IN A. CARTER’S NIGHTS AT THE CIRCUS AND G. E. ANSALDÚA’S BORDERLANDS LA FRONTERA: THE NEW MESTIZA
Authors: Ćurić Mirna
Published: February 2022

This paper focuses on elements of magic realism in Angela Carter’s Nights at the Circus and Gloria E. Anzaldúa’s Borderlands La Frontera: The New Mestiza. Though these two novels belong to different literary canons and its storylines refer to different time frames, the writers use mythical and supernatural elements for similar purposes—to undermine the impositions of dominant British and American societies. Both writers incorporate elements of magic into reality to challenge mainstream patriarchal and Western views of women, as well as justify and validate identities based on hybridity and difference.

Authors: Catalina-García Beatriz , García Galera María del Carmen
Published: February 2022

Las metodologías docentes con TIC en tiempos de pandemia han tenido que crecer y adaptarse a la realidad online en la que profesores y estudiantesvivieron durante ese período. Este contexto fue un reto más para el profesorado, en tanto en cuanto requerían de toda su imaginación y de las metodologías digitales a su alcance para captar la atención del alumnado (dispersa, en líneas generales), llamar a su participación y poder medir la evolución de su formación y conocimiento acerca de los contenidos impartidos. En este contexto, se presenta la experiencia de innovación en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje en dos asignaturas del Grado de Periodismo de la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (España), en las que se han empleado una misma metodología de innovación digital de seguimiento del aprendizaje y evaluación de los contenidos aprendidos por el alumnado: Wooclap. Además, se plantea una comparativa en función del curso sobre la experiencia detectada entre los alumnos. En términos generales, los estudiantes reconocen más fortalezas que debilidades en el manejo de esta herramienta.
Percepción de consumidores y expertos sobre los valores de la publicidad del sector del automóvil (2008-2018)
Authors: Bonales Daimiel Gema , Mañas-Viniegra Luis
Published: February 2022

Cada día los productos son más similares y se diferencian menos unos de otros y, con la globalización, la competencia entre ellos es aún mayor. Es gracias a la publicidad que se obtiene la diferenciación necesaria. Como consecuencia de este fenómeno, en este trabajo se pretende estudiar y analizar la escala de valores subyacente por los que una persona elige un automóvil en la actualidad y el papel que la publicidad ejerce en esa decisión. Esta investigación analiza los valores transmitidos en la publicidad online de la industria automovilística. Se ha realizado una comparación entre los valores de la publicidad durante 2008 y 2018 respecto a los criterios y valores de los consumidores en la toma de decisión de compra de un coche y los valores que, según los expertos, son clave en el proceso de compra. Se ha utilizado una metodología triangular mixta cuantitativa-cualitativa para averiguar la percepción de 300 consumidores y 30 expertos y los valores transmitidos por la publicidad a través del análisis de contenido de 672 anuncios. Los resultados muestran que hay una divergencia relativamente clara entre los valores que la publicidad transmite, los que demandan los clientes y los que los expertos consideran más relevantes.
