Χρηματοοικονομική εκπαίδευση και χρηματοοικονομικός αλφαβητισμός στην πρωτοβάθμια εκπαίδευση
Authors: Κατωπόδη Αργυρή
Published: December 2024

Σε μία εποχή που χαρακτηρίζεται από παγκόσμια υπερχρέωση, πολυπλοκότητα του χρηματοπιστωτικού συστήματος, διαρκείς κρίσεις, και έντονη οικονομική μεταβλητότητα, η ανάγκη ανάπτυξης των χρηματοοικονομικών δεξιοτήτων της νέας γενιάς είναι τουλάχιστον επιτακτική. Η παρούσα διδακτορική διατριβή αναδύθηκε από τη βαθιά ριζωμένη πεποίθησή μου στη σημασία της ενστάλαξης των βασικών αρχών του χρηματοοικονομικού αλφαβητισμού στους/στις μαθητές/τριες από την παιδική ηλικία, κατά την οποία διαμορφώνεται σε καθοριστικό βαθμό ο χαρακτήρας και η αντίληψη των ατόμων.Η δικαιολόγηση του θέματος έρχεται να υποστηριχθεί όχι μόνο από τη δύσκολη οικονομική πραγματικότητα, αλλά και από μια σειρά αποφάσεων και δράσεων που έχουν αναλάβει διεθνείς θεσμικοί φορείς, και, πολύ πρόσφατα, το Υπουργείο Εθνικής Οικονομίας στη χώρα μας. Η παρούσα διατριβή ξεκίνησε με σκοπό την εξέταση των υφιστάμενων κενών στην χρηματοοικονομική εκπαίδευση, και ειδικότερα, στο πρόγραμμα σπουδών του δημοτικού. Μέσω της ενδελεχούς ανάλυσης της μέχρι τώρα διεθνούς βιβλιογραφίας, των εμπειρικών μελετών, και των εκπαιδευτικών πολιτικών, η διατριβή αυτή έχει ως στόχο να ρίξει φως στις πολυδιάστατες, εγγενείς προκλήσεις και ευκαιρίες που αναδύονται μέσω της καλλιέργειας του χρηματοοικονομικού αλφαβητισμού στα νέα παιδιά.Κεντρικός άξονας της προσπάθειας αυτής αποτελεί η εμπεριστατωμένη διερεύνηση των εφαρμοζόμενων παιδαγωγικών μεθοδολογιών, του ισχύοντος πλαισίου για το σχεδιασμό των προγραμμάτων σπουδών, και των κοινωνικοοικονομικών παραγόντων που διαμορφώνουν τη χρηματοοικονομική συμπεριφορά των ατόμων από μικρή ηλικία. Μέσα από τη σύνθεση των ευρημάτων από διάφορα επιστημονικά πεδία-συμπεριλαμβανομένων της εκπαίδευσης, των οικονομικών, και της κοινωνιολογίας-η παρούσα διατριβή αποσκοπεί στην ανάπτυξη ενός ολιστικού πλαισίου για την ενίσχυση της αποτελεσματικότητας της χρηματοοικονομικής εκπαίδευσης στο δημοτικό.Πιο συγκεκριμένα, η διατριβή μου προσπαθεί να γεφυρώσει το χάσμα μεταξύ θεωρίας και πρακτικής, παρέχοντας πρακτικές και συγκεκριμένες προτάσεις και εφαρμόσιμες στρατηγικές για εκπαιδευτές, υπεύθυνους χάραξης πολιτικής, και τα ενδιαφερόμενα μέρη που έχουν δεσμευτεί στην προώθηση του χρηματοοικονομικού αλφαβητισμού. Αντλώντας πληροφορίες από πραγματικές μελέτες περιπτώσεων και τις βέλτιστες πρακτικές, η παρούσα έρευνα έχει ως στόχο να παρέχει στους εκπαιδευτικούς τα απαραίτητα εφόδια και εργαλεία για να ενσωματώσουν απρόσκοπτα τη διδασκαλία των βασικών χρηματοοικονομικών αρχών στο πρόγραμμα σπουδών της πρωτοβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης.

Diabeł tkwi w szczegółach. Znaki świata nadprzyrodzonego w życiu codziennym wsi
Authors: Piotrkowski Robert
Published: December 2024

Tematem książki są wyobrażenia o zaświatach oraz zjawiskach demonicznych rekonstruowane na podstawie motywów transgresji postaci nadprzyrodzonych w wierzeniach i wyobrażeniach funkcjonujących w kulturze ludowej. Ekspresje te, a także ich wartościowanie zostały utrwalone w wielu narracjach pochodzących z XIX i początku XX wieku. Wybrane motywy występujące w dawnych bajkach, a przede wszystkim w podaniach wierzeniowych można traktować jako źródło umożliwiające rekonstrukcję wizji zaświatów skorelowanej z lękami codzienności towarzyszące mieszkańcom wsi. Jest to również praca mająca na celu wyeksponowanie głębi i wieloaspektowości wyobrażeń na temat zaświatów, które są najlepszym dowodem na ogromne znaczenie spuścizny folkloru nie tylko w wymiarze szeroko pojętej twórczości artystycznej, ale też sposobu postrzegania i wartościowania rzeczywistości i zjawisk życia codziennego.

Książka powstała na podstawie pracy doktorskiej napisanej pod kierunkiem prof. dr hab. Violetty Wróblewskiej. W 2024 roku zdobyła trzecią nagrodę w XVI edycji „Konkursu na pracę doktorską” organizowanego przez Narodowe Centrum Kultury oraz została wyróżniona w XV edycji konkursu ,,Polska wieś – dziedzictwo i przyszłość" imienia Profesora Jerzego Wilkina.

Jednostki tekstu jako jednostki kultury i jednostki pamięci zbiorowej na przykładzie twórczości Jacka Kaczmarskiego
Authors: Niewiara Aleksandra
Published: December 2024

The article discusses the issues of inheritance and transmission of cultural information. The exemplification material is provided by the texts of the 20th century Polish bard Jacek Kaczmarski. The lyrics of his songs, on the one hand, transmit and preserve the units of collective memory of Polish society gathering the experience of centuries of history; on the other hand, they themselves become a source of newly emerging ideas. In both cases, it is possible to distinguish in Kaczmarski’s songs textual units that refer to well-known topics of Polish public discourse (historical and contemporary) and transform them not only in terms of original poetic realisations and author’s interpretations, but also modify them by setting in a new cultural context, respectively through textual repetitions, mutations and modifications of the components of the collective myth.
Colonialidad territorial y turismo como estrategia de construcción de paz territorial: horizontes y desafíos en Colombia
Authors: Betancourt Santiago Milson
Published: December 2024

Este artículo aborda la comprensión de conflictos y violencias desde la perspectiva de la colonialidad territorial como propuesta teórica. Se busca entender las raíces de la no paz persistente en el mundo a partir de una caracterización de la conflictividad territorial y colonialidad territorial. Además, se propone la paz territorial como estrategia de transformación y superación del desordenamiento territorial de la vida. Con esta reflexión, en la segunda parte del trabajo se analizan las posibilidades, límites y desafíos de las propuestas del turismo como una estrategia de construcción de paz territorial. Se profundiza en la conexión entre el turismo y elementos clave en la construcción de la paz territorial, como la sustentabilidad, la equidad y la participación activa de las comunidades locales. Este texto es importante para repensar los sentidos, horizontes y desafíos que tienen las políticas de turismo que se enmarcan en objetivos de paz, transformación social y ambiental, a fin de conseguir avanzar en sus fines. El trabajo se construye desde una revisión crítica de algunos conceptos relacionados con la forma de comprender las guerras/violencias/conflictos en el mundo y Colombia, teniendo en cuenta una perspectiva combinada de la ecología política, la geografía crítica y los estudios decoloniales, que se condensa en el concepto de colonialidad territorial. En la tercera parte, a partir de estas miradas teóricas se hace la revisión de tres ejes esenciales para la  construcción de alternativas desde el turismo: la paz territorial, la equidad y la sustentabilidad.

This lesson requires students to move beyond comprehension to analysis and interpretation. This lesson could be adapted for any subject and grade level with the proper scaffolding and supports.
Robotic Badges for Girl Scouts
Authors: Guo Meize , Wang Jue
Published: December 2024

This three-day computer science (CS) robotics coding exploration targets three Girl Scouts (n.d.) Brownie (2nd/3rd grades) badges. For each badge, a 60-minute session follows the 5E instructional model, which incorporates various robots to provide learners with diverse coding experiences. Throughout the coding exploration, learners engaged with real-life robot applications and used different robots to complete coding challenges. This learning exploration concluded by having learners complete at least one robot coding challenge per session, tailored to their capability, and utilize their expressive language skills to describe and explain their designed artifacts, algorithms, and block-based codes. This coding exploration can be extended to support broader elementary-level CS instruction.

Authors: Teske Milton E. , Whitehouse Glen R.
Published: December 2024

Highlights

Summarizes the historical development of the AGDISP/AGDISPpro deposition model.

Provides details implementing the modeling of crosswind effects on aircraft vortices.

Examines model agreement for two datasets: in-wind and crosswind fixed-wing aircraft deposition and hovering/rotating UAV spot spraying deposition.

Interprets CHARM model predictions for maximum UAV forward flight wake decay times.

Abstract. This article describes recent AGDISPpro model comparisons, addressing the separate upwind-downwind decay of aircraft vortices because of crosswind effects, model comparisons with in-wind and crosswind field data and UAV spot spraying data, and model predictions of UAV forward flight wake decay times. These data comparisons extend AGDISPpro usage to additional agricultural spraying applications and to UAV model development beyond the agricultural spraying to which AGDISPpro was historically developed. Keywords: AGDISPpro, CHARM, Crosswind effects, Model comparisons, Spot spraying, UAV.
Transpacific Muumuus and the Rise of Japanese Neocolonial Tourism in Hawai‘i
Authors: Matsumoto Issay
Published: December 2024

Abstract: Introduced by American missionaries during the 1820s, the loose-fitting Mother Hubbard muumuu undergarment was indigenized by Native Hawaiian women into a dress embodying modern Pacific femininity. But it was Japanese textile and garment exports that fueled the mass production of muumuus as neocolonial tourist commodities under US-Japan trade agreements and postwar export-led growth policy. Using magazines and newspapers in Japan, as well as archival material from Hawai‘i, this essay explores the transpacific discourse and political economy of the muumuu’s reinvention into a garment that would mobilize middle-class Japanese women’s participation in Hawai‘i’s neocolonial tourism industry. It illuminates how the transpacific muumuu’s circuits of production, distribution, and desire drew Japanese consumer practices into Hawai‘i’s restructuring from industrial agriculture to international tourism. The movement of Japanese textiles and the women who wore them integrated Japan, Hawai‘i, and the United States in the formation of the neocolonial Pacific’s preeminent consumer space.
Missionary Positions: How American Evangelicals Learned to Love Global AIDS Work, 1985–2005
Authors: Waits Hannah
Published: December 2024

Abstract: From the mid-1980s to mid-2000s, American missionaries conducted information campaigns across the United States to change US evangelicals’ perceptions of the AIDS epidemic and secure their support for global AIDS work. Drawing on colonial discourses about suffering foreign bodies and souls, missionaries conditioned US evangelicals to shift their feelings about AIDS from disgust to grief, which activated practices of compassion. Evangelicals then funded abstinence-only sex education courses packaged as AIDS prevention programs across the Global South. Missionaries’ messaging facilitated US evangelicals’ transformation in these decades from the most implacable foes of people with HIV/AIDS domestically to some of the biggest supporters of AIDS work internationally. Assessing US evangelicals’ changing attitudes about and involvement with the AIDS epidemic reveals how transnational religious networks linked US conservative political priorities to global health humanitarianism and how religious actors expanded American global power in a postcolonial context.
Florencia Pinar’s “Ell amor ha tales mañas”: The Worm, Cancer, and the Poetics of Abject Embodiment
Authors: Beresford Andrew M.
Published: December 2024

Abstract: Florencia Pinar is one of the most arresting and imaginative poets to have been active in fifteenth-century Spain. Yet, rather than focus on questions of poetic ability, and in particular, her strident and provocative use of imagery, critics have all too commonly essentialized her status as a woman, engaging in a reductive and anachronistic process of interpretation in which she has effectively been reformulated as the mouthpiece of twentieth-century feminist protest. In this article, which offers an extended reading of “Ell amor ha tales mañas,” the focus of attention falls on Pinar’s achievements as a poet and her manipulation of tradition. Specific attention is afforded to her daring reappropriation of the gusano , a symbol most commonly explored in works focusing on death and judgement, and the parallel reference to cancer, which enables the composition to explore the poetics of abject embodiment. The article concludes by suggesting that rather than read Pinar in our image, we should instead laud her ability to tap into universal human fears concerning the horrors of bodily invasion and the inevitability of death.
Indigenous Inter-island Routes of Travel: The Pre-Columbian Bahamas, A Regional Case Study
Authors: Rocca Alvieri
Published: December 2024

Abstract: Although scholars acknowledge that Indigenous people of the Caribbean engaged in regular inter-island contact for migration, trade and social reasons, there is limited knowledge regarding the sea routes they used, the duration of their voyages and the navigational challenges they faced. This study reconstructs probable travel routes within the archipelago and to other circum-Caribbean destinations, using the Bahamas as a test case. The research is based on the location of known pre-Columbian village sites and navigational directional bearings, and prevailing winds and surface currents, which help or hinder transit time. The first segment analysis of the study utilized the centrally located island of San Salvador, known as Guanahaní by the local Lucayan inhabitants. It involves formulating village clusters (concentrations) and postulating possible inter-island travel routes by Indigenous dwellers. The obtained data advocates that Indigenous canoe travellers were able to have visual contact with the highest available topographic features (geographic affordances), which allowed them to continuously set course bearings using either departure or destination physical points of reference. The study parameters suggest specific scenarios that propose voyages from the Central Bahamas to the Northern and Southern Bahamas, as well as a northern triangle of trade between Andros Island, western Cuba and southern Florida, and a southern link between Great Inagua, eastern Cuba and western Hispaniola. These scenarios exhibit noticeable differences in terms of inter-island transit time, canoe speed, and voyage time without land reference. The limited periods of time required for the Lucayans' use of dead reckoning navigational skills in data analyses on canoe speeds and time without horizon reference suggest an encouragement for inter-island travel.
Adnominal Modification: The View from Amis (Formosan)
Authors: Bril Isabelle
Published: December 2024

Abstract: In Amis, adnominal modifying constructions share a common structural pattern involving, in particular, two suffixes, -ay and -an. Relative clauses are morphologically more complex; they abide by the subject-only rule, which triggers voice alternations to match the semantic role of the nominative pivot. Relative clauses have the same alignments as independent clauses but contain deranked verb forms. To some limited extent, some of these deranked modifying verb forms may be lexicalized as nouns; this evolution is argued to occur via headless relative clauses, resulting in stand-alone modifiers that may become entrenched as referring nouns. However, this process is distinct from productively derived lexical nouns that make use of distinct morphological processes.
Proto-Austronesian *j Once Again
Authors: Smith Alexander D.
Published: December 2024

Abstract: The phonetic value of Proto-Austronesian *j is a difficult area of research, with a range of proposed reconstructions such as [ɡ], [ɡʲ], [ɟ], [ɣʲ], [ʝ], and more recently, [ɲʲ]. In this paper, yet another proposal for Proto-Austronesian *j is made, this time focusing on mergers, or lack of mergers, to determine both the most likely reconstructed value of *j and the likely sound change paths taken by *j as it evolved to its various reflexes. Based on these considerations, it is proposed that *j was a voiced sonorant palatal consonant, specifically a palatal lateral, [ʎ].
But is it Elite? Organizational Status, Boundaries, and Crafting Elite and Flagship Universities
Authors: Byrd W. Carson , Cantwell Brendan , Baizhanov Sanzhar
Published: December 2024

Abstract: "Elite" and "flagship" are two influential groupings used to conceptualize differences among higher education institutions, but rarely defined. We derive common features attributed to these groupings from a content analysis of 40 years of higher education literature. Next, we explore the relationship of these features to other institutional characteristics with multiple regression analyses of organizational-level data. We uncover "organizational tautology," a self-reinforcing manifestation of status beliefs and boundary work. Elite and flagship categories represent stylized facts used to legitimate groupings based on organizational status, reinforcing exclusionary beliefs by higher education insiders and their positions within an unequal higher education system.
Serving Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Students: Examining How Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions Build Students' Capacities
Authors: Nguyen Mike Hoa
Published: December 2024

Abstract: This study examines how Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions (AANAPISI) serve Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AA&NHPI) students. Through a two-site case study of a community college on the west coast and a regional comprehensive university on the east coast, this study details the processes that are undertaken to serve and enhance the educational experiences of AA&NHPI students by building their capacities. Findings suggests that federally-funded AANAPISIs design and implement their programs in a manner that reflects the lived experiences and realities of AA&NHPI students through academic coursework, co-curricular programming, and research opportunities, in an intentional and strategic multilayered process, which resembles a developmental nested design focused on five thematic domains. Implications for policy, practice, and research are also offered to advance the work of AANAPISIs.
The Impact of Course Placement in STEM Sequences on Students' Short-Term and Longer-Term University Success Outcomes
Authors: Bowman Nicholas A. , Ngo Federick J. , Ji Jeongmin
Published: December 2024

Abstract: Research has frequently demonstrated negative effects of placing students into developmental education, but very little inquiry has considered the impact of placing students into different levels of non-developmental coursework. The present study explored this issue within sequenced pairs of STEM gateway courses using doubly-robust propensity score analyses and a total sample of 11,532 undergraduates. The results indicate that starting in a lower-level course frequently predicted favorable short-term academic outcomes, but course level was unrelated to retention, and starting in lower-level coursework was often inversely associated with the likelihood of graduating from the university or receiving a STEM bachelor's degree.
Stevens’s Path to “Lebensweisheitspielerei”
Authors: Glaser Brian
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT: Wallace Stevens’s “Lebensweisheitspielerei,” a late poem with a German title, exemplifies his spirituality of presence as it focuses on life as a concept. The poet’s spiritual development gave rise to a spontaneous, improvisatory impulse to play that celebrates presence and calls into question the apparent bleakness of his earlier poems. Stevens’s search for a “sun of fuller fire” is related to the Hegelian dialectic and Charles Altieri’s recent attempt to secularize Hegel in Stevensian criticism.
Stripe artifacts mitigation in a light sheet fluorescence microscopy with multiple light sheets generated by micro-lens array
Authors: Kim Daekeun , Ryu Inkeon
Published: December 2024

When employing light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) to capture fluorescence images in semi-transparent biological specimens, the image quality often degrades due to stripe artifacts caused by light-absorbing or light-scattering media inside the specimen. To address this issue, we conceived a novel approach to utilize multiple light sheets generated via a micro-lens array. Comparative analysis with conventional LSFM images revealed a substantial mitigation in stripe artifacts, confirming the efficacy of our approach in enhancing image quality when utilizing multiple light sheets.

Introduction

Decentralized COVID-19 testing with antigen rapid diagnostic tests (Ag-RDT) is recommended by the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control for community-level services. These services have been provided in Primary Healthcare Centers, Community Pharmacies, and licensed “Patent Medicine Stores” that serve the least affluent communities. To support quality assurance, we applied an adapted version of SPI-RT (Stepwise Process for Improving the Quality of HIV Rapid and Recency Testing) to sites providing COVID-19-RDTs in Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria.

Methods

Between September 2022 and February 2023 community healthcare facilities (48 Community Pharmacies, 21 Patent Medicine Stores, 79 Primary Health Centers) were evaluated using Stepwise Process for Improving the Quality of SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Diagnostic Testing (SPI-RT) Checklist, tailored to the local implementation context. Evaluated domains included service quality, documents and records, personnel training and certification, safety, physical infrastructure, pre-testing phase, testing phase, and post-testing phase. Each facility received an overall score, expressed as a percentage indicating their performance level.

Results

41/79 (52%) of Primary Health Centers scored at least 90% for service quality, as did 19/48 (40%) of pharmacies, with only 1/21 (4.8%) Patent Medicine Store. Apart from personnel training and certification, Primary Health Centers scored highest across most domains of service quality, followed by Community Pharmacies. The lowest median score in any domain was in the Patent Medicine Stores on testing and safety at 60% for both post-testing phase and safety.

Conclusion

Primary Healthcare Centers and Community Pharmacies can provide quality decentralized testing for COVID-19. Patent Medicine Stores may need additional support including monitoring and quality improvement initiatives to ensure the provision of high-quality decentralized COVID-19 rapid testing services.
Stiffness Determination of Bi- and Triaxial Flat Braided Carbon/Vinyl Ester Composites Using Micromechanics Method
Authors: Karahan Mehmet , Karahan Nevin
Published: December 2024

This paper is concerned with geometric modelling and elastic properties of 2D biaxial and triaxial braided composites. A representative unit cell (RUC) of braid architectures is first identified along with its constituents. Geometric parameters of braided structures are compared with each other. A method of inclusions with the Mori-Tanaka homogenisation was used in the determination of elastic properties of the unit cell with the Tex-Comp software. As a result, a higher amount of crimp occurs in triaxial braided structures compared to biaxial structures generated using the same yarn and construction. Therefore, the elastic modulus of the triaxial structure diminishes compared to that of the biaxial structure. However, the axial yarn reinforcement in triaxial structures ensures four times higher axial strength in the axial direction related to the biaxial structures that it provides. The results were experimentally verified.
Recommendations for the metallographic preparation of crack-like defects in PBF-LB/M additively manufactured alloy 625 builds
Authors: Giller M. , Cagliyan E. , Fischer B. , Neidel A.
Published: December 2024

Abstact

Crack-like defects were found in powder bed fusion-laser beam/metal additive manufacturing built gas turbine burner components. This was somewhat surprising, since the subject material, Alloy 625, is readily weldable. The original equipment manufacturer responsible for the print job had a good track record and excellent experience with this particular alloy. From the findings obtained in the metallographic investigation that is the subject of this contribution it can be concluded that i) the crack-like defects may not be liquation or solidification cracks as initially thought (both hot cracking phenomena), but possibly lack of fusion defects, ii) after a first preparation step, the defects were not detectable with light optical microscopy, even after etching with Kalling’s II reagent, iii) only after re-polishing using oxide particle suspension, or, alternatively, after reverse electrolytic etch with the anode and cathode swapped, using Kalling’s II reagent as electrolyte (Kalling’s II modified, a.k.a. Ätzen von Alloy 625 – Ätzlösung nach Boromir – Boromir’s etch), defects became detectable, and iv) only observation in the scanning electron microscope allowed characterization of the defects as lack of fusion rather than hot cracking.
La construcción discursiva de las identidades del peruano y el venezolano en el contexto de un eventual “comunismo” en Perú
Authors: Taipe Rivas Milagro del Pilar
Published: December 2024

This article analyzes the identity constructions of Peruvians and Venezuelans that emerged in the context prior to the 2021 presidential runoff held in Peru. The main objective is to identify the positionings and identities that circulated within and between both groups through their written discourses, as well as to determine their underlying reasons and purposes. To this end, Bucholtz and Hall’s approach (2005) on identity as an intrinsically relational phenomenon constructed and changed in linguistic practice is adopted. The data was obtained by applying the technique of peripheral observation on the social network Twitter, from which 10 tweets were selected that deal with the large number of Venezuelan immigrants in Peru and/or the prospective “communism” that was speculated in that country in view of Pedro Castillo’s victory in the 2021 first ballot. The main results identified are the following: the anticommunist profile of brave Peruvian and Venezuelan immigrants who saw the left-wing option as a danger to the common good (and thus encouraged its massive rejection); as well as the communist identity of Peruvians positioned as ignorant, who, by disapproving of the right-wing and choosing change, implicitly promoted the vote for Castillo.

Traditional Funeral in the Context of the Russian-Ukrainian War: Lamentation for the Fallen Soldiers
Authors: Ivannikova Liudmyla
Published: December 2024

Lamentation for the fallen soldiers is an important component of the traditional funeral rite. This tradition is updated in all regions of Ukraine under the influence of the Russian-Ukrainian war of 2014–2023. This is evidenced both by the expedition materials and video recordings made during the soldiers’ funerals published in social networks. The purpose and the task of the article is to trace the dynamics of the tradition of mourning over fallen soldiers during the 20th – 21st centuries and its transformation in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war. Records made by the authoress and video materials published in social networks have formed the source base of the research. The mother’s wail for her dead son has been recorded during the ritual for the first time in the history of Ukrainian folkloristics. This example marks the scientific novelty of the article. The very little amount of the texts has been recorded during the funeral, while the main collections include records made to order. This fact defines the value of this recording. According to the authoress’s observations, heroes are mourned collectively in the villages as well as in the cities. Mourning usually happens in the traditional places (in the own house, in the yard, іn the parish church, in the square of the city or village, on the road to the burial place, at the cemetery and over the soldier’s grave). The wailing lasts from receiving the news about the death till the end of the funeral, as well as during the memorial days. Traditionally women (mother, widow, sister, daughter, close relatives, neighbours, villagers) perform mourning. The authoress has noticed that laments depict the local folklore tradition and come from the folklore environment, that’s why performers intuitively reproduce the archaic forms they remember of the laments in their regions. The texts of lamentations are addressed traditionally to the fallen warrior. The main motives include the story of the life and circumstances of the soldier’s death, the deep feelings of the mother and the widow after the heavy grief, promises to visit his grave, to raise children. A strong idealization of the fallen warrior is also traditional. It is concluded on the base of the authoress’s own observations, that in spite of certain innovations that appear under the influence of wartime, laments for fallen soldiers preserve the traditional verbal, musical and action forms, as well as local and regional features of performance. Its structure depicts traditional functions, in particular, psychotherapeutic, communicative, informational, consolidating. However, in the process of globalization such new forms of mourning as naive poetry, memoirs and appeal letters to fallen soldiers have emerged. Such new forms are characterized by rhythmic verse, poetic techniques and formulas common to the studied genre. In this regard, the authoress considers them to be a written modification of the traditional folk laments.
Variasi Bahasa Indonesia-Korea (Indokor) sebagai Identitas Youtuber Korea Selatan
Authors: Nova Indah Fauziah , Musyayyab Imam , Fasa Faradila Awalia
Published: December 2024

Bahasa tidak hanya memuat entitas linguistik, tetapi juga memuat fungsi sosial dan identitas suatu kelompok masyarakat. Oleh karena itu, cara berbicara seseorang cenderung dapat menjadi indikator dalam menentukan latar belakang sosialnya. Popularitas budaya Korea Selatan di Indonesia menyebabkan konten dari orang Korea Selatan banyak ditonton oleh masyarakat Indonesia. Youtuber asal Korea Selatan yang telah menguasai bahasa Indonesia kemudian aktif membuat beragam konten dengan sasaran penonton dari Indonesia.

Az akadémiai szabadság tartalma és határai: a hagymamodell
Authors: Kováts Gergely , Rónay Zoltán
Published: December 2024

Ez a tanulmány az Európai Parlament STOA bizottsága számára készített
tanulmányunk (Kováts–Rónay 2023) rövidített és kiegészített
változata. A tanulmány áttekinti a tudományos és felsőoktatási tevékenységgel
kapcsolatban közreadott nemzetközi dokumentumokat, valamint a tudományos
szakirodalomban megjelenő különféle, az akadémiai szabadsággal kapcsolatos
vélekedéseket, megközelítéseket. Ennek szintézise az akadémiai szabadság
hagymamodellje, amelynek segítségével értékelhető egy adott országban az
akadémiai szabadság. A tanulmányban részletesen elemezzük a hagymamodell egyes
alkotóelemeit, azok egymáshoz való viszonyát és a hiányok esetleges
következményeit. A tanulmány végén pedig javaslatot fogalmazunk meg arra
vonatkozóan, hogy milyen irányban lenne érdemes az akadémiai szabadság
garanciális elemeit fejleszteni.
A de facto akadémiai szabadsággal kapcsolatos tendenciák az Európai Unióban
Authors: Maassen Peter
Published: December 2024

Az akadémiai szabadságot nemcsak a felsőoktatás alapvető értékének és alapelvének
tekintik széles körben, hanem a jól működő demokratikus társadalmak
előfeltételeként is. Az elmúlt években azonban a különböző érintettek komolyan
aggódni kezdtek az akadémiai szabadság helyzetével kapcsolatban az Európai
Unióban. Az Európai Parlament ezért 2022-ben elindította az Academic Freedom
Monitort, amely éves jelentéseket tesz közzé azzal a céllal, hogy hozzájáruljon
az akadémiai szabadság mint európai alapjog védelmének megerősítéséhez. Ebben a
tanulmányban bemutatjuk az EP Academic Freedom Monitor tanulmányokban
kidolgozott módszertant és elemzési szempontokat, valamint az európai
tagállamokban az akadémiai szabadság de facto alakulásának főbb
tendenciáit.
A FreeSZFE jogérvényesítési törekvései az egyetemi autonómia védelmében az illiberális politikai kontextusban
Authors: Kirs Eszter
Published: December 2024

A cikk az egyetemi modellváltás ellen tiltakozó, az intézményi autonómiáért és
hallgatói jogokért kiálló, a 2020-as egyetemfoglalást szervező diákok, a
FreeSZFE esetére összpontosít. Az általuk kezdeményezett jogi eljárásokon
keresztül tárja fel, hogy az illiberális politikai környezetben korlátozott
hatáskörű és megkérdőjelezhető elhivatottsággal működtetett, alapjogok védelmére
rendelt intézmények hogyan teljesítenek a hallgatói jogok és az intézményi
autonómia őreiként. Hangsúlyosan jelennek meg az alapvető jogok biztosa és az
Alkotmánybíróság előtt zajló eljárások, melyek bár az alapvető jogok független
és elkötelezett érvényesítésére hivatottak, az egyetemi autonómiát nem vették
szárnyuk alá. Az egyes jogi eljárásokon túl szó esik azok nem jogi jellegű
gyökereiről és hatásairól. Arról, hogy mi sarkallta a FreeSZFE közösség tagjait
a jogérvényesítésre, miként épült be az az ellenállásban használt eszközeik
közé, hogyan fonódott össze más, kreatív demonstratív eszközökkel. E kérdésekben
interjús kutatás alapján a közösség tagjainak hangján szólal meg a cikk.
Utánpótlás-nevelés és a sporttehetség: a gyorskorcsolya sportág szereplőinek nézetei
Authors: Telegdi Attila , Géczi Gábor , Bognár József

A versenysportban a felnőttkori sikeresség kulcsa az optimális utánpótlás-nevelés
és tehetséggondozás. Korábbi kutatások szerint a fiatalok sportélményeit és
fejlődését jelentősen befolyásolják a környezeti tényezők és az edzők nézetei.
Kutatásunkban elemeztük a gyorskorcsolya sportági szakszövetség dokumentumait és
kérdőívvel vizsgáltuk a gyorskorcsolya sportág edzőinek, versenyzőinek és
szüleiknek a véleményét (N = 164). Eredményeink alapján
elmondható, hogy a sportági dokumentumok alábecsülik az utánpótlás-nevelés és
tehetséggondozás jelentőségét. Empirikus kutatásunk alapján kiemelt jelentőségű
a felnőttkorban elért siker, de jelentős különbség található a sportág
szereplőinek nézetei között is. Fontos a sportági szövetség számára a pedagógiai
képzéstevékenység megerősítése egy új kommunikációs stratégia keretében.
Determinants of Livestock Smallholder Farmer's Choice of Adaptation Strategies to Climate Change in Raymond Mhlaba Local Municipality, Eastern Cape, South Africa
Authors: Bontsa N , Gwala L , Mdiya L , Mdoda L
Published: December 2024

Globally, climate change is a major challenge facing farmers. This phenomenon threatens the sustainability of smallholder farmers in rural communities who depend solely on agriculture. Farmers are known to take suitable steps to adapt when they observe change and adjust their farming practices to cope with climate change. However, livestock farmers' response to climate change is very low due to insufficient scientific and context-based evidence. Hence, this paper sought to investigate the determinants of livestock small-scale farmers' choices and adaptive strategies in response to the effects of climate change in Raymond Mhlaba Local Municipality. The study used a cross-sectional research design to collect data from 220 livestock farmers using a semi-structured questionnaire. The study used multinomial logistic regression to analyse the data. Empirical results reveal that access to weather forecasts and extension services, farmers' perception of climate change, level of education, age of the household head, distance to input markets, member of farm organisation, income from livestock sales, and livestock holding affect livestock farming decision for climate change adaptation. Therefore, the study recommends that the government improve farmers' access to accurate and timely agro-meteorological forecasts, capacity building, and technical support for income diversification through improved provision of agricultural extension services.
CJ CheilJedang: el conglomerado surcoreano promotor de k-style y más
Authors: Veliz Portuguez Rodrigo Enrique , Reyes Benz Arlette , López Aymes Juan Felipe
Published: December 2024

Desde finales del siglo XX, Corea del Sur logró exportar productos culturales que llamaron la atención mundial. Este fenómeno ha sido una oportunidad para dar a conocer internacionalmente ciertos rasgos de la cultura coreana y también para construir una imagen positiva del país en el exterior, lo que le da ventajas en la competencia global al asociar a sus empresas y productos con valores compatibles con aquellos de los con-sumidores occidentales y asiáticos. Entre los conglomerados coreanos más importantes en este giro de negocios está el grupo CJ, el cual nació de la separación de Samsung en los años noventa y cuyas empresas son líderes en la industria cultural, de medios y de entretenimiento. Gracias al k-style y una potente estrategia de marketing internacional, CJ E&M se ha convertido en una de las empresas más reconocidas del grupo CJ, capaz de influir en la definición estética y cosmopolita de ciertos estilos de vida asociados con el consumo de bienes de alta tecnología, cosméticos y productos saludables. El objetivo de este artículo es presentar un caso que muestra la manera en que la expansión de un conglomerado coreano incluyó la industria cultural entre sus áreas de negocio, con la cual se ha extendido mundialmente y ha detonado efectos de desborde hacia otras industrias. El foco se pondrá en la agencia de los conglomerados y sus líderes como conductores de la internacionalización de la cultura coreana, en particular en la trayectoria de CJ CheilJedang y la manera en que las cuatro divisiones que lo integran potenciaron sus capacidades para crear sinergias que producen marcas e imágenes atractivas en el mercado internacional. El argumento central es que la ola coreana debe su fuerza a las características del sistema corporativo del país asiático, el cual es, a su vez, resultado de la economía política desarrollista de Corea.
Biotrade of Colombian Cosmetic Ingredients as an Opportunity to Harnessing the Free Trade Agreement with South Korea
Authors: Vanegas Pérez Angela María
Published: December 2024

With 16 trade agreements signed and after 3 decades of the economic opening, Colombia faces important challenges to achieve the expected results with economic integration. Diversification of the export portfolio, participation in global value chains and the revitalization of the economy continue to be goals in development. Understanding that new production and consumption trends are decisive in the effective access to international markets, this article proposes to inquire about the opportunities of Biotrade to serve as a mechanism to facilitate the insertion of national offer in the beauty and skin care industry in South Korea. In five sections,this article refers to the current state of the trade balance with South Korea, Colombia’s comparative advantages in terms of natural ingredients derived from biodiversity, regulatory developments in Biotrade, the characteristics of voluntary certifications as competitiveness tools, and an approach to the conditions of the national offer. The conclusions highlight the importance of sustainability for the destination market, the remaining gaps in national public policy, and the need to deploy comprehensive strategies to facilitate the harnessing of trade agreements.
Conociendo Corea a través de su historia
Authors: Rodriguez Gómez Camilo
Published: December 2024

Uno de los procesos que han marcado al mundo durante los últimos tiempos ha sido sin duda alguna la globalización, la cual, mediante los lazos de interconectividad e interdependencia que ha generado entre naciones y pueblos de todo el mundo, han creado a su vez la necesidad de generar distintos métodos para el entendimiento y cooperación entre los miles de distintas culturas que hoy cohabitan.
En esta ocasión, impulsado por el X Encuentro de Estudios Coreanos en América Latina y por mi pasión para la historia, me he preguntado ¿Qué tan influyente ha sido la historia de Corea sobre su tan única y especial cultura?
Este documento busca hallar la respuesta a esta pregunta rememorando distintos periodos históricos transcurridos en la península coreana, comenzando con el asentamiento de los primeros pueblos y posterior fundación del reino de Gojoseon, así como el surgimiento y caída de los que le siguieron como fueron los reinos Goryeo y Joseon y su importancia en la rica cultural que hoy posee Corea.
 Las numerosas guerras e invasiones soportadas durante siglos como las invasiones mongolas y japonesas en el siglo XIII y XVI, la colonización japonesa y finalmente a la olvidada guerra de Corea. Hechos que fortalecen la definición de identidad coreana dada al inicio del documento que les caracteriza como una nación fuerte en principios y tradiciones cuya ideología comunitaria les ha permitido sobrevivir al paso de los siglos.
