Authors: Arelovich Lisandro
Published: July 2024

Este trabajo persigue por objetivo evaluar las limitaciones de las actuales políticas públicas de ordenamiento territorial (OT) para el caso del territorio pesquero fluvial de la provincia de Santa Fe, Argentina. Para abordar ese objetivo primeramente se realiza una descripción analítica de la aparición en la historia reciente de las políticas públicas de ordenamiento territorial para el caso de Argentina y la provincia de Santa Fe y se indaga sobre la adecuación de los debates respecto al concepto de territorio. Posteriormente se desarrollan las principales características del territorio pesquero fluvial para comprender la complejidad particular del mismo. Se analiza a su vez las dimensiones multiterritoriales yuxtapuestas al territorio pesquero, y para ello se describen las trasformaciones a las que este multiterritorio está sometido en los últimos 30 años y se evalúan sus afectaciones sobre las pesquerías. Para concluir se desarrolla una pormenorizada descripción del sector de la pesca artesanal en clave territorial para reflexionar sobre los desafíos futuros pendientes para el diseño de políticas públicas que garanticen el derecho al territorio pesquero fluvial.
The errors of the shaft's axial movement measuring in the single-coil-eddy-current-sensors-based system for the monitoring the state of radial thrust bearing of the NK-33 liquid rocket engine’s turbopump unit

Published: July 2024

This article continues a series of publications devoted to the problems of early state diagnosis of the combined journal-and-thrust bearing of the turbo-pump unit of the liquid-propellant rocket engine NK-33, which is a critical node of the power plant under consideration. The proposed approach is based on the idea of replacing the standard induction sensors of the turbo-pump rotational speed currently used in turbo-pump unit by specially designed single-coil eddy current sensors with sensitive elements in the form of a segment of a linear conductor. The transducers are placed in the same mounting holes as the standard rotor’s speed sensors and their sensitive elements are oriented relative to the tooth of the measuring disc on the controlled shaft in such a way that the tip of the tooth remains in the sensitivity zone of both sensors during all possible movements of the shaft. The change in the axial position of the disk caused by the displacement of the rotor shaft in the radial thrust bearing during its destruction is determined on the basis of combined processing of the eddy current sensors’ output signals during the passage of the tooth under the sensors’ sensitive elements. The implementation of the standard rotor’s speed measuring function in the main and backup channels is ensured by fixing the moments of the tooth passage through the geometric centers of the sensitive elements of the first and second sensors in the cluster. The article is devoted to estimation of errors of the shaft's axial movement measuring in the channels of the system for monitoring the state of radial thrust bearing of the NK-33 liquid rocket engine’s turbopump unit. In particular, the random and systematic components of the basic error caused by the interference, the finite sampling frequency and the chosen method for calculating the desired shaft movements are given.
Study on Shear Behavior and Damage Simulation of Masonry Walls Considering the Effect of Long-term Flood Immersion
Authors: Lu Chenhu ,   Institute of Geophysics, China Earthquake Administration, Beijing, 100081, China
Published: July 2024

Floods can cause masonry buildings to become immersed for a long period of time, which causes the building materials to deteriorate and thus affects the safety performance of the structure. In this study, a long-term-immersed masonry wall was considered as the research object and a cohesive element containing damage evolution was used to simulate the mortar layer, establish a finite-element model of the separated masonry wall and perform numerical loading experiments. Data on crack width variation in the masonry wall was extracted using Python. The effect of a long-termwater-immersion environment on the shear performance of masonry walls was analyzed considering material deterioration. The results show that long-term flooded masonry walls are characterized by low shear capacity and low stiffness and safety reserves cannot be guaranteed. A partially immersed masonry wall is prone to damage from the weak parts and has a high risk coefficient. The macro-damage degree of a masonry wall immersed by a flood is not as serious as that of the original wall in the early stage, but it suddenly increases in the collapse stage and the warning effect of cracks is reduced, which requires special attention in safety assessments. Keywords: Masonry wall, Crack width, Flood immersion, Failure, Damage grade.

Authors: Tahir Palmawati , Budisetyowati Dwi Andayani , Purwanti Ani , Garunja Evis
Published: July 2024

This article addresses the deficient regulations that fail to prioritize consumer interests, resulting in inadequate consumer rights protection. As a result, an abundance of food products disregards labeling requirements in the community. This research seeks to identify remedies and legal safeguards to protect consumers from the dangers of unlabeled food products. The study uses a normative legal research methodology to focus predominantly on a literature review. The data sources include both primary and secondary legal scholarship. The study's findings indicate that the current legal protection for consumers against unlabeled food products needs to be improved. In addition, the supervision of circulating food products intended to protect consumers has yet to be implemented effectively.

Authors: Kennedy Margaret George
Published: July 2024

The goal of counseling is to get the client better than he/she came for counselling. The aim of this case study is to share the experiences of Owunari (21-year old undergraduate male) who was invited for counselling by the counsellor on account of an alleged involvement in examination malpractice (within ethical limits). The client came for counselling because he was invited by the counsellor. Owunari did not deny the allegation, he confessed that it has been his trade in stock since his second year as he goes about doing menial jobs to finance his education after the demise of his sponsor. Counsellor with the consent of the client mapped out a weekly schedule of meeting, the goal was to have a better understanding of the client’s problem with a view to helping him overcome it. Six sessions of Counselling were held with the client during which active listening and responsiveness, empathy, questioning and directive counselling were explored to help the client to learn how to solve his problem. The counsellor did a background check on him from classmates and associates and confirmed all his claims. Counsellor provided immediate help by providing upkeep, and payed the balance of his fees, she gave him several links to seek for sponsorship. One of the links yielded dividend as George Mangibo reach out foundation offered him a full scholarship to complete his education. At this point counselling was terminated and examination malpractice jettisoned.
Participatory methods and approaches in the management of Mediterranean forests: a systematic literature review
Authors: Fernandes M.E. , Ferreira C. , Figueiredo E.
Published: July 2024

Understanding participatory processes and identifying successful implementation methods is key to effective bottom-up sustainable forest management strategies. This paper aims to contribute to that understanding by systematically reviewing the literature dealing with participatory methods
to forest management in five European Mediterranean countries (France, Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain), specifically identifying the relationship between the level of stakeholder involvement, type of stakeholders and the methods applied, as well as the results obtained, and the main challenges
identified. Our findings show that stakeholders commonly involved are NGOs, landowners, companies, and local government bodies. A strong correspondence between the methods used and the purpose and level of stakeholders’ involvement is identified. Social benefits stand out as the most
relevant result of this engagement somehow overshadowing economic and environmental ones. Results show that participatory forest management methods are simple and do not depend on sophisticated methods and techniques, so that their wider application depends above all on the will to do so.
Assessing the economic significance of forest income in community livelihoods in Manyoni District, Tanzania
Authors: Sagali H.L. , Yingli H. , Mendako R.K.
Published: July 2024

Forest resources are essential to the fundamental requirements and economic well-being of rural inhabitants in Tanzania's Manyoni District. Non-timber forest products are critical in sustaining these livelihoods. However, there is a lack of understanding of how these resources sustain
livelihoods in the Manyoni District, where natural, cultural and economic elements uniquely affect social and economic processes. This study investigates households' socioeconomic features, forest dependency, and how forest revenue affects their livelihoods in Nkonko and Sasilo wards. The
study uses a mixed-methods approach to investigate the socioeconomic aspects impacting the dependency on forest resources by combining quantitative data from household surveys with qualitative insights from focus group discussions. The findings show a considerable reliance on forest resources
for income, especially when it comes to the usage of charcoal and firewood, and they also point to essential variables that influence the advantages of these resources, such as family size, gender and education level, as well as proximity to forests. The study concludes that community-based
management practices and legislative acts conserve forest resources and enhance the lives of affected communities, fostering environmental sustainability and economic prosperity.
Barriers to equity: investigating community challenges in accessing and benefiting from forest resources in Manyoni, Tanzania
Authors: Sagali H.L. , Yingli H.
Published: July 2024

Manyoni District’s inhabitants depend on forests for food, fuel, and money, showing the intricate relationship between natural ecosystems and human well-being. Forests sustain local livelihoods and biodiversity, but demographic factors, legal frameworks, and benefit-sharing mechanisms
have not been thoroughly studied in Manyoni district. Our study examines the obstacles to fair and equal access to and sharing of natural resource benefits in Manyoni, Tanzania. The mixed-methods study uses quantitative data and qualitative interviews to gather data on forest access challenges,
main benefits, legal restrictions, and benefit sharing that affect community access. The study indicates complex results on age, gender, marital status, and education against forest resource use. More resources are used every day by 46‐65‐year‐olds. The majority of women
use daily, demonstrating how gender affects resource consumption. Marriage and education further distinguish consumption patterns, showing that social roles and education affect forest resource availability and dependency. The study suggests that women and less educated people depend more
on forests. Accessibility requires sensitive policy changes to legal and benefit-sharing restrictions. It balances environmental conservation and community rights for sustainable management and fair access.
Diagnostic errors and characteristics of patients seen at a general internal medicine outpatient clinic with a referral for diagnosis
Authors: Otaka Yumi , Harada Yukinori , Katsukura Shinichi , Shimizu Taro
Published: July 2024

Objectives

Patients referred to general internal medicine (GIM) outpatient clinics may face a higher risk of diagnostic errors than non-referred patients. This difference in risk is assumed to be due to the differences in diseases and clinical presentations between referred and non-referred patients; however, clinical data regarding this issue are scarce. This study aimed to determine the frequency of diagnostic errors and compare the characteristics of referred and non-referred patients visit GIM outpatient clinics.

Methods

This study included consecutive outpatients who visited the GIM outpatient clinic at a university hospital, with or without referral. Data on age, sex, chief complaints, referral origin, and final diagnosis were collected from medical records. The Revised Safer Dx Instrument was used to detect diagnostic errors.

Results

Data from 534 referred and 599 non-referred patients were analyzed. The diagnostic error rate was higher in the referral group than that in the non-referral group (2.2 % vs. 0.5 %, p=0.01). The prevalence of abnormal test results and sensory disturbances was higher in the chief complaints, and the prevalence of musculoskeletal system disorders, connective tissue diseases, and neoplasms was higher in the final diagnoses of referred patients compared with non-referred patients. Among referred patients with diagnostic errors, abnormal test results and sensory disturbances were the two most common chief complaints, whereas neoplasia was the most common final diagnosis. Problems with data integration and interpretation were found to be the most common factors contributing to diagnostic errors.

Conclusions

Paying more attention to patients with abnormal test results and sensory disturbances and considering a higher pre-test probability for neoplasms may prevent diagnostic errors in patients referred to GIM outpatient clinics.
An Empirical Study on the Impact of Tariff Reduction on China’s Textile Industry under the Background of RCEP
Authors: Zhou Jiexuan , Wang Lijun , Huang Qingqing , Cai Hui
Published: July 2024

This article introduces the basic concept of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) agreement and constructs the GTAP model based on the analysis of the current development status of the textile industry in China, the Chinese textile industry as the research object, and the simulation forecast RCEP agreement tariff reduction. The data come from gtap10 database, respectively setting regional tariff reduction to 60% and regional tariff reduction to 100% realize free trade two situations for empirical research. The reduction of tariffs has reduced the cost of international textiles, leading to an increase in imports from China. At the same time, the reduction of tariffs has reduced the export price of Chinese textiles, thereby increasing China’s exports. However, the reduction of non-tariff barriers may increase the export price of Chinese textile products to a certain extent, thereby limiting the output of China’s textile industry. Finally, RCEP has a positive impact on the development of China’s textile industry, on the basis of the future development countermeasures of the Chinese textile industry.
Improved correlation of soil modulus with SPT N values
Authors: Wagh Jaydeep Dinkar , Bambole Abhay Namdeorao
Published: July 2024

Determining soil “E” (modulus of deformation) value has been a persistent challenge in geotechnical engineering. Existing correlations between “E” and SPT (standard penetration test) “N” values for granular soils yield a notably broad spectrum of “E” values, leading to uncertainty and subjectivity in design. A comprehensive review of these correlations reveals significant limitations, such as limited data, small-scale or indirect tests, and other constraints. The present study highlights the deficiencies inherent in existing correlations and proposes a reliable correlation for granular soils. The present study utilizes the results of numerous large-scale load tests conducted on RCC (reinforced cement concrete) foundations resting on granular soils, at various locations in India and at a refinery site in Nigeria. These tests totalling 85 in number serve as a basis for developing an improved and reliable E–N correlation for granular soils. Soil “E” values (secant) were back-calculated for each footing load test result and correlated with SPT “N” values. The correlation presented in this article is based on a sound large database and yields higher “E” values than those predicted by most available correlations. This advancement will lead to substantial cost savings and enhanced reliability in the design of foundations and substructures.
The Strategic Evolution of Institutional Logics Across Social Entrepreneurial Process: A Multiple Case Study
Authors: Xu Yanfang , Zhu Chunling
Published: July 2024

Although a hybrid logic is widely recognized as the best institutional logic for social enterprises, why and how such a hybrid logic works for social enterprises is under-explored. Based on the institutional logic theory, we conduct a multiple-case study to investigate how and why the two competing logics are combined to form a hybrid logic during social entrepreneurial process. Data are collected from the in-depth semi-structured interviews with social entrepreneurs from three leading social enterprises in China. We categorize a hybrid logic model as a dominant logic model, which includes a social-dominant logic model and a commercial-dominant logic model, and an equality of dual logic model. We find that the adoption of a hybrid logic is affected by the type of a social enterprise and the motivation to acquire different legitimacy. Specifically, an integrated social enterprise adopts a commercial-dominant logic model while an external social enterprise employs a social-dominant logic model to achieve sustainability. An embedded social enterprise can adopt an equality of dual logic model from its establishment. Our study contributes to research on strategic social entrepreneurship by revealing the dynamic relationship among different types of social enterprises, the adoption of a hybrid logic at different entrepreneurial stages, the motivation to acquire different legitimacy, and business outcomes.

A JUVENTUDE E O TRABALHO DECENTE NO BRASIL
Authors: Barroso Márcia Regina Castro
Published: July 2024

Resumo: A Organização Internacional do Trabalho que mantém seu escritório no Brasil desde a década de 1950, tem se apresentado como uma importante instituição no cenário laboral brasileiro principalmente por incentivar o debate em torno de temas centrais para o chamado mundo do trabalho. Entretanto, partimos da premissa de que sua atuação não se limita ao campo ideário, mas de que possui uma atuação de modo a tentar influenciar a vida pública e social. O conceito trabalho decente, formalizado em 1999, tem se constituído como um grande sintetizador de ações da OIT-Brasil, mas ele tem sido utilizado como uma espécie de balizador de iniciativas de outras instituições. Neste trabalho, mais especificamente, trataremos as questões referentes à juventude onde procuraremos perceber as contradições e os desafios no caso brasileiro. Serão analisados documentos internos da própria OIT, de organizações sindicais e do Ministério do Trabalho e Emprego (MTE).  Palavras-chave: Trabalho decente; OIT; Juventude no mercado de trabalho. Abstract: The International Labor Organization, which has maintained its office in Brazil since the 1950s, has presented itself as an important institution in the Brazilian labor scene, mainly for encouraging the debate around central themes for the so-called world of work. However, we start from the premise that its performance is not limited to the ideal field, but that it has a performance in order to try to influence public and social life. The concept of decent work, formalized in 1999, has been constituted as a great synthesizer of actions of the ILO-Brazil, but it has been used as a kind of marker of initiatives of other institutions. In this work, more specifically, we will deal with youth issues with which we will try to understand the contradictions and challenges in the Brazilian case.

AGENTES PENITENCIÁRIAS NO UNIVERSO MASCULINO DOS PRESÍDIOS DA 5ª REGIÃO PENITENCIÁRIA
Authors: Madruga Marina Nogueira
Published: July 2024

A pesquisa se abeira da premissa de que os estabelecimentos prisionais, mesmo quando encarceram mulheres, são configurações masculinas e masculinizantes. O objetivo se direciona para a verificação de quais as implicações do ambiente e da dinâmica carcerária as mulheres agentes penitenciárias que atuam nos estabelecimentos prisionais da 5ª Região Penitenciária do Rio Grande do Sul (Camaquã, Canguçu, Jaguarão, Pelotas, Rio Grande e Santa Vitória do Palmar). O objetivo específico inclui a indagação acerca da existência, no estado, de políticas e/ou ações que tratem dessas implicações, desencadeadas a partir do órgão de gestão penitenciária (SUSEPE). O estudo é o projeto de pesquisa de Dissertação de Mestrado do Programa de Pós-graduação em Política Social e Direitos Humanos, vinculado a linha Direitos Humanos, Segurança e Acesso à Justiça. A metodologia a ser utilizada será de caráter qualitativo, a partir de um estudo de caso e valer-se-á de instrumentos como a entrevista semiestruturada, aplicada às agentes penitenciárias e servidores que atuam na gestão da instituição carcerária, bem como a realização de grupo focal. O referencial teórico prioriza três categorias: gênero, questão penitenciária e serviços penais. As hipóteses de pesquisa são: a) Os ambientes prisionais, por serem instituições masculinizantes, produzem sobrecargas de relações assimétricas de gênero, em relação as mulheres servidoras penitenciárias; b) Há invisibilidade das sobrecargas a que são submetidas estas agentes sobretudo e inclusive por parte dos gestores públicos do sistema prisional e das respectivas políticas. A perspectiva contributiva da análise é a visibilização dessa realidade e seu enfrentamento no âmbito dos serviços penais.

JURISDIÇÃO E EXECUÇÃO PENAL. A PRISÃO: UMA CONTRADIÇÃO INSTITUCIONAL
Authors: Ferrajoli Luigi
Published: July 2024

O trabalho examina, em primeiro lugar, a natureza da chamada "jurisdição de vigilância penitenciária" para questionar seu verdadeiro estatuto, ao não se pronunciar sobre atos concretos das pessoas privadas de liberdade, senão sobre modos de ser de natureza subjetiva. Em segundo lugar, o artigo questiona a possibilidade de que dentro da prisão se possa dar um respeito efetivo aos direitos fundamentais das pessoas privadas de sua liberdade. Assim, o ensaio propõe algumas medidas concretas para avançar em direção a uma superação gradativa da opção custodial para reduzi-la, sendo substituída por outras menos lesivas da dignidade das pessoas.

Authors: Kuswantoro Agung , Kharismaputra Aulia Prima , Rahim Laila , Susanti Anis
Published: July 2024

Merdeka curriculum has been implemented in schools for a few years, but there are still some obstacles to its implementation. Teachers find it difficult to design learning tools, starting from reducing learning outcomes to learning objectives and the flow of learning objectives. One of the solutions is the use of concept maps, which are assisted by the MindMeister application. The goal is for teachers to implement it into a flow of learning objectives. The method of implementing this service is in the form of training teachers with a practical approach. The result of this service is that teachers better understand how to create effective and visually interactive concept maps of learning objectives to plan, organize, and understand learning objectives. This helps teachers and students in carrying out the learning process in a more structured and focused manner. The use of information technology-based applications is very helpful for teachers in learning activities. Teachers must always adapt to any changes and improve their competence with consistent and continuous training, especially related to the use of information technology in learning.

Authors: Ciptandi Fajar , Arumsari Arini
Published: July 2024

This article discusses the existence of aesthetics in traditional batik colors in Tuban, East Java, Indonesia, which is reflected in the appreciation of the deep values in the activity of making cloth. Batik colors have been one of the foundations for producing traditional identity values belonging to the Tuban community and have been preserved for generations. However, the existence of this aesthetic is gradually experiencing degradation due to some disruptions, such as modernity, trends, and technology, which has led to transformation. The purpose of the study is to interpret the relationship between the weakening of the existence of aesthetics in traditional Tuban batik colors and the daily behavior patterns of people in current conditions. The research method was conducted using a phenomenological approach, and it is reviewed based on the principle of memetics theory to find out the factors that cause this phenomenon. It is essential to produce a conclusion to enrich fundamental knowledge in understanding the causes of transformation in the aesthetic existence of a tradition so that it becomes the basis for consideration in taking transformative action to preserve the tradition.

Published: July 2024

Intrusi air laut merupakan salah satu masalah utama yang umum terjadi di wilayah pesisir. Kecamatan Cilacap Tengah merupakan salah satu kecamatan di pesisir selatan Jawa yang diduga mengalami intrusi air laut yang juga memiliki ekosistem hutan mangrove. Hutan mangrove dianggap mampu meminimalisir terjadinya intrusi air laut melalui sistem perakaran, batang, dan daunnya yang mampu beradaptasi dengan air asin. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh hutan mangrove terhadpa intrusi air laut yang dilakukan dengan menganalisis distribusi spasial dan ketebalan hutan mangrove terhadap intrusi air laut. Analisis yang digunakan yakni analisis spasial. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hutan mangrove tersebar di Kelurahan Kutawaru, Donan, dan Lomanis. Adapun ketebalan hutannya berkisar 0-867,3 m. Hasil pemetaan intrusi air laut menunjukkan bahwa di Kecamatan Cilacap Tengah terdapat daerah yang tidak terintrusi, intrusi sedang, dan intrusi tinggi. Berdasarkan hasil pemetaan di antara keduanya, menunjukkan bahwa di daerah yang bermangrove luas dan tebal tidak mengalami intrusi hingga mengalami intrusi sedang. Sedangkan daerah yang tidak bermangrove dan bermangrove tipis mengalami intrusi sedang hingga tinggi. Sehingga penanaman hutan mangrove harus dilakukan secara lebih merata di lahan-lahan yang tidak bermangrove sama sekali, mengingat keberadaan hutan mangrove berpengaruh terhadap kondisi intrusi air laut di Kecamatan Cilacap Tengah.

Authors: Persani Luca , Rodien Patrice , Moran Carla , Edward Visser W , Groeneweg Stefan , Peeters Robin , Refetoff Samuel , Gurnell Mark , Beck-Peccoz Paolo , Chatterjee Krishna
Published: July 2024

Impaired sensitivity to thyroid hormones encompasses disorders with defective transport of hormones into cells, reduced hormone metabolism, and resistance to hormone action. Mediated by heritable single-gene defects, these rare conditions exhibit different patterns of discordant thyroid function associated with multisystem phenotypes. In this context, challenges include ruling out other causes of biochemical discordance, making a diagnosis using clinical features together with the identification of pathogenic variants in causal genes, and managing these rare disorders with a limited evidence base. For each condition, the present guidelines aim to inform clinical practice by summarizing key clinical features and useful investigations, criteria for molecular genetic diagnosis, and pathways for management and therapy. Specific, key recommendations were developed by combining the best research evidence available with the knowledge and clinical experience of panel members, to achieve a consensus.
Existentialist Feminism in Etaf Rum’s A Woman is No Man
Authors: Dedi Dania , Farlina Nina
Published: July 2024

This research aims to provide a qualitative study into existentialist feminism in Etaf Rum's novel A Woman is No Man (2019). The writers examine Arab American women from a three-generation family who emigrated from Palestine to America, which affected them in determining their meaning of existence under Arab American patriarchal culture: Fareeda as the first generation, Isra and Sarah as the second generation, and Deya as the third generation. This research used Simone de Beauvoir’s existentialist feminism theory. The findings show two out of the four Arab American women refused to break out from the Arab patriarchal culture, while the other two achieved their transcendence. The existence of Arab American women in the novel is not fully achieved based on Beauvoir’s idea of claiming their transcendence. In conclusion, the four Arab American female characters were influenced by generational differences when they were exposed to Arab culture in Palestine. Fareeda and Isra have more anti-assimilation toward American culture than Sarah and Deya, born in America. Sarah and Deya find meaning in their existence because they achieve their transcendence by becoming what they want to be, namely, working and independent women. Meanwhile, Fareeda and Isra find meaning in their existence in the realm of the patriarchal culture, which defines them as the Other since neither of them has ambitions for themselves but has always strived to submit to the Arab culture. Thus, Fareeda and Isra defined their meaning in existence as being mothers and wives.
Muslimah Hybrid Identity in Amulya Malladi’s The Sound of Language
Authors: Seshu Bandaru S.S.S.S.K.
Published: July 2024

This study analyses Amulya Malladi’s novel The Sound of Language using a postcolonial and Islamic feminist approach. The paper explores how the novel reflects identity, Otherness, the imperial situation, and the experience of alienation in the diaspora. In The Sound of Language, the author portrays the main character's life in the Muslim diaspora. It depicts the subject's journey towards a multicultural identity and her mission to understand who she is and where she fits in the global community. This study examines how a Muslim subject develops their identity in a postcolonial European setting and analyses the problems raised by how the writer presents the character in the book. This research especially explores Malladi's identity-making process, engaging with concepts of Ngugi wa Thiongo's Language and Identity, Homi K. Bhabha's Hybridity, and Fatima Mernissi's Muslim women's liberation. In addition, this investigates how the author explores the connection between language acquisition and identity formation, examining how natives influence non-natives and the extent of Danish society's acceptance of Afghan culture and languages. The study reveals that Muslim characters in occidental societies, like Raihana does when she moves to Denmark, will develop a hybrid identity that incorporates both her Muslim background and the contemporary free-thinking society of the West. This article presents two subsections of a study: the Postcolonial and the Islamic feminist approaches. Both sections explain how Raihana formed her hybrid identity as a Muslim woman in a European country.
Craving Homes in Ila Arab Mehta’s Fence
Authors: Joby Metty
Published: July 2024

Owning a home has always been a dream for every individual, and one’s life savings are invested in possessing a home, especially in the Indian context. Indian novelists have portrayed how their characters strive to build a ‘home’ for themselves, thereby asserting their identity. The present study explores the protagonist Fateema’s dire desire to own a house of her own in a mixed ghetto wherein people from different religions live together in peace and harmony. This elusive utopian thought is depicted poignantly in Ila Arab Mehta’s novel Fence. The cultural constructs in the Gujarati society described in the novel and the hegemonic influence portrayed in the novel are explored through the experiences of various characters. The food, clothing, language, and mannerisms of the Muslim society, as compared to the majority community in Gujarat of the late twentieth century, are portrayed in the novel as only cultural constructs leading to the subjugation of the Muslim community. Hence, an attempt is being made to study the novel Fence from the perspective of cultural studies and calls for a broader outlook in encapsulating everyone within a multicultural framework, strengthening the social fabric.

Jacques Derrida coined two Deconstruction concepts: Binary Opposition and Logocentrism used to analyze the protagonist characters: Esa Khattak and his junior, Rachel Getty, in Ausma Zehanat Khan’s The Unquiet Dead (2013). The binary opposition analysis is used to reveal the binary of the character and its opposition. The results of the analysis show that Khattak as the main protagonist has Good Superior and Resolute traits as his dominant binaries; while Rachel Getty’s central binaries are Forthright and Independent. The concept of logocentrism is decentralizing the dominant binary to create a new center by putting it under erasure. Khattak is symbolized as Justice because his main binary represents the characteristics of justice which is associated with real-world, such as courts. Rachel Getty is symbolized as Feminism because the leading binary represents the characteristics of Feminism which is associated with examples of feminist such as Kartini as the independent women. Thus, Kahn’s novel reconstructs the protagonist characters to question our binary perspectives, such as good/bad, justice/injustice, and feminist/masculine.

Authors: Elzieny Asmaa Muhammad Othman
Published: July 2024

This paper investigates the influence of cultural pluralism on women's leadership discourse employing a socio-cognitive analysis of women leaders from diverse cultural backgrounds and examines how cultural pluralism shapes their language, communication styles, and discursive approaches. The analysis is carried out on speeches of female leaders namely the previous Singaporean president Halimah Yacob, the previous British Prime Minister Theresa May. By addressing this research gap, the paper aims to deepen our comprehension of the intersectionality of culture, gender, and leadership communication, ultimately advocating for diversity and inclusion. The study adopts the Socio-Cognitive Discourse Studies (SCDS) framework. The research investigates identity formation, socialization and cultural practices within the context of leadership discourse. The analysis concentrates on interactive and interactional metadiscourse features, including transitions, hedges, boosters, self-mentions, politeness markers, humor, and rhetorical questions. The findings demonstrate that women leaders effectively influence perceptions and emotions concerning police officers and social workers through their speeches. They emphasize diversity, collaboration, and audience engagement through interactive and interactional metadiscourse. Furthermore, these speeches advocate social values, support law enforcement, and reflect positive attitudes toward social workers and the police profession. They also celebrate diversity and inclusivity through the utilization of self-mentions, attitude markers, metaphors, and cultural pluralism elements. Overall, this research contributes to both theoretical and practical domains by enhancing our understanding of the intricate interplay between culture, gender, and leadership discourse. It provides valuable insights for leaders and organizations to develop effective communication strategies that foster diversity, equity, and inclusion.

El virus de la leucemia felina (ViLeF) es un retrovirus que afecta a felinos de todas las razas y edades, y produce una enfermedad cuya frecuencia se ha incrementado en Colombia. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la frecuencia de ViLeF en fase regresiva en gatos sanos en la ciudad de Medellín, Colombia, a través del diagnóstico por PCR. Se incluyeron en el estudio 756 registros de gatos clínicamente sanos que se remitieron de Medellín al laboratorio molecular de referencia TestMol SAS. Los registros se ingresarondurante 2021. El 23,67% de los felinos eran de raza pura y el 76,32%, de raza criolla. El 43% de las muestras provenían de gatos menores de 1 año, y el 35,1% y 21% eran de gatos jóvenes (1-6 años) y mayores de 7 años, respectivamente. La frecuencia de ViLeF en los individuos evaluados fue de 16%. No se encontró relación de la presencia del virus con respecto a la raza (p=0,28) y a la edad (p=0,35) de los individuos. Se observó una frecuencia alta de felinos clínicamente sanos con presencia de ViLeF en fase regresiva de la infección, lo cual sugiere un estado de alerta sobre el manejo preventivo que se está haciendo de la enfermedad (vacunas) y crea preocupación sobre los índices de contagio de este virus en Medellín, Colombia.

Published: July 2024

Componente significativo da história da vida cultural do Rio Grande do Sul, a Sociedade Partenon Literário (1868-1886) marcou o século XIX, por meio de várias atividades literárias, sociais e educacionais, com as quais esteve comprometida. Entre elas, destaca- se a publicação da Revista Mensal (1869-1879), que contribuiu decisivamente para a literatura sulina. Passados mais de 150 anos de sua fundação, o Partenon continua a ser uma fonte para o estudo da literatura e da cultura rio-grandenses. Congregando intelectuais da antiga Província, seus ideais ainda ressoam na contemporaneidade, merecendo, por isso, novos estudos e abordagens diferenciadas. Os artigos aqui reunidos retomam alguns aspectos da história da Sociedade Partenon Literário, apresentando análises sobre aspectos da agremiação, quais sejam, a sua constituição, a repercussão crítica e a importância da revista, além dos principais temas por ela abordados, com destaque para a presença feminina, os assuntos telúricos e a Revolução Farroupilha. Sem a pretensão de ser exaustivo, a intenção do presente volume é a de reavivar em estudantes, professores e pesquisadores o interesse por uma organização literária e cultural que marcou época e teve um papel de destaque na história do Rio Grande do Sul.
