Between ‘Kingmakers’ and Public Indifference: Croatia’s National Conservative Right in the European Elections of 2024
Authors:   European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS), Petsinis Vassilis
Published: October 2024

This chapter focuses on Croatia and deals with the national conservative Domovinski Pokret/Homeland Movement (DP) party. In the latest European elections, the DP garnered a percentage of 8.82% (65,383 votes and one seat), taking third spot after the ruling (centre-right) Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) and the ‘Rivers of Justice’ coalition spearheaded by the (centre-left) Social Democrat Party (SDP). I begin the present chapter by sketching a typology of the constituent segments along the broad spectrum of the European right wing and situate the DP within it. I then offer a summary of the DP’s founding principles vis-à-vis further European integration and clarify the extent to which these principles were reflected in the party’s stances and active engagement in the latest European elections. I then identify the main catalysts behind the DP leadership’s success in mobilizing target groups and galvanizing electoral support for the party.

Denmark’s Populism at the Crossroads: Insights into the 2024 European Parliament Election Results
Authors:   European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS), Meret Susi
Published: October 2024

The populist moment that defined Danish politics from 2001 to 2019 has recently transitioned into what can be described as mainstream populism. Two concurrent developments drive this shift: first, the Social Democrats’ strategy to reclaim (white) working-class support by adopting populist right-wing stances on immigration and integration, and second, the existential crisis confronting the Liberals (Venstre, V) and the Conservative party (Det Konservative Folkeparti, KF), whose electoral support reached historic lows. The 2024 European Parliament elections differed significantly from those of 2019, marked by the emergence of new political entities and pressing global issues such as the Russia–Ukraine and Israel–Hamas conflicts, along with the existential threat of climate change and the lingering effects of the post-pandemic time. Traditional populists are exploiting these issues to regain support, advocating for greater national sovereignty and cohesion in the face of perceived global threats. This paper examines the evolving dynamics of Danish politics, focusing on how the intersection of domestic and international changes is reshaping EU-related positions and the role of populism. Keywords: populism, European Parliament elections, Danish People’s Party, Denmark Democrats, Socialist People’s Party
A Tipping Point for Far-Right Populism in France
Authors:   European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS), Ivaldi Gilles
Published: October 2024

The 2024 French European election took place against the backdrop of an economic and cost-of-living crisis in a context marked by global uncertainty arising from the war in Ukraine, social unrest and deep political discontent with President Emmanuel Macron. Marine Le Pen’s Rassemblement National (RN) emerged as the big winner with 31.4% of the vote, while Macron’s Renaissance list trailed far behind at 14.6%. Meanwhile, Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s left-wing populist La France Insoumise (LFI) won 9.9%, reflecting current internal dissent within the party and deep ideological divisions exposed by the Israel–Hamas war. National issues dominated the electoral agenda in June. Populist voting across both sides of the political spectrum was strongly fuelled by political discontent with Macron, making the 2024 European elections primarily a ‘second-order’ national election. A crucial test for Emmanuel Macron, the outcome of the European election led to the decision by the incumbent president to call a snap legislative election. The election confirmed the electoral strength of the RN; however, it showed the revitalization of the Republican Front against the far right, which blocked Le Pen’s party from winning an absolute majority, delivering instead a hung parliament split into three blocks.

Economic Malaise and Political Discontent: An Analysis of the 2024 European Parliament Election in Greece
Authors:   European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS), Vasilopoulou Sofia
Published: October 2024

The 2024 European Parliament (EP) election in Greece was held against a background of geopolitical instability in Europe’s neighbourhood. However, domestic – rather than European – issues dominated the campaigns, including the economy, inflation and the cost-of-living crisis. The electoral results were primarily an anti-government protest vote and confirmed a trend of electoral fragmentation across the political spectrum. On the right, three relatively new far-right populist parties received parliamentary representation, i.e., the Greek Solution, Victory and the Voice of Reason. On the left, SYRIZA–PA maintained its second place, although its support declined substantively compared to the previous EP election. Course of Freedom and the KKE, on the other hand, were key electoral beneficiaries in the left-wing space. Younger age groups primarily opted for SYRIZA–PA, whereas older groups were more likely to support New Democracy. That said, far-right parties also received votes from younger generations. Geographically, the far right is more successful in the north of Greece. The key message of this election was political discontent and a general feeling of economic malaise posing dilemmas across the political spectrum. Keywords: elections; public opinion; populism; the left; the right; Greece

Factors influencing managerial challenges for smallholder and emerging sheep and goat farmers in the Thabo Mofutsanyana District, Free State Province, South Africa
Authors: Neriath Kgomongwe , Leonah Mthombeni, Danisile, , Akwasi Antwi, Michael
Published: October 2024

This study aimed to identify and analyse the determinants of managerial challenges for smallholder and emerging sheep and goat farmers in the study area by highlighting key factors in order to create an enabling environment for the farmers to improve production and income. A stratified random sampling technique was used to select 145 participants from a pull sampling frame of 251 participants. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect the data by interviewing 145 selected smallholder farmers. The Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS), version 28.0, was used to analyse the data. Descriptive statistics and the probit regression model were used to analyse the determinants of the managerial challenges for smallholder and emerging sheep and goat farmers. The results of the study show that only 19% of the participants had business plans, and the absence of business plans impacted farm and livestock management negatively. The probit results indicated that the age of the respondents, off-farm activities, and access to market information had a positive and significant association with managerial challenges. It is recommended that youth and women be encouraged to engage in sheep and goat farming for better management and that farmers must focus their attention on livestock farming instead of off-farm income-generating activities. The Department of Agriculture and municipalities should initiate extension programs that focus on farm and livestock management as well as access to market information.
The differential impact of export and import trade on carbon dioxide emissions: A comparative analysis between African and European countries
Authors: Enongene Betrand Ewane , Djoudji Serge Temkeng , Etah Ivo Ewane , Ewane Derick Mbong
Published: October 2024

This study examines the effects of export and import trade on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 49 African and 37 European countries from 2005-2021 using World Development Indicators (WDI). Export and import trade has a differential effect on CO2 emissions in both Africa and Europe, though African countries generally have lower emissions than European countries with an increasing trend. Trade is crucial in both regions, but the environmental impact remains uncertain. The study emphasized the two-step system generalized method of moments (GMM) and a quadratic function. The results indicate that: 1) Export trade increases CO2 emissions in both regions in the short and long term. 2) Import trade reduces CO2 emissions in Africa in the short and long-term, but has no significant negative long-term impact in Europe except in the short run. 3) There was no evidence of an environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) but a U-shaped relationship between trade and CO2. 4) Early development witnesses the halo effect, which transitions to the pollution haven hypothesis after a turning point in both regions. The study recommends that both regions should adopt environmentally friendly trade policies that should aim at reducing CO2 in the export trade nexus.

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the effects of digital teaching materials on the theme of sustainable lifestyle integrated with Ethno-PjBL on knowledge and creative thinking skills in learning in the Merdeka Curriculum.
 
Theoretical Framework: The idea behind the development of digital learning materials on the theme of sustainable lifestyle is to promote awareness and practice of sustainability among students through the integration of technology in learning. By combining a project-based learning model enriched by local cultural values (Ethno-PjBL), students are not only invited to understand the concept of sustainable lifestyle, but also how to apply it in their cultural context.
 
Method: This study used a quasi-experimental method with a posttest only control group design. The sample of this study was grade X students at SMAN Kota Jambi, with the experimental class using integrated digital teaching materials ethno-PjBL and the control class using conventional learning methods. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical tests, Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality tests, and Mann-Whitney tests.
 
Results and Discussion: Digital teaching materials on sustainable lifestyle themes integrated with ethno-PjBL have a positive impact on students' knowledge and creative thinking skills. The experimental class using the digital teaching materials showed better results compared to the control class using conventional learning methods.
 
Research Implications: The results of this study support the integration of sustainable lifestyle-themed digital teaching materials with the Ethno-PjBL approach, which not only strengthens students' academic knowledge, but also fosters creative thinking skills and awareness of local cultural values. The findings of this study can encourage educators and policy makers to further adopt and develop contextual and relevant digital teaching materials, especially those that focus on global issues such as sustainability, but are still integrated with local wisdom. The implications of this study also open up opportunities for further research to explore the potential of digital teaching materials in other subjects or at different levels of education.

It aimed to publicize the essence of the bicentenary of Brazil's independence, which was led by Emperor D. Pedro I, in 1822. Throughout the history of Brazil, there were two reigns, the first was that of D. Pedro the First, who succeeded his father in 1821, and the second was the reign of D. Pedro II, which began in 1840. The causes and actions that led to the abolition of slavery in Brazil. It was concluded that Brazil's independence was achieved on September 7, 1822, and was manifested by the scream on the banks of the Ipiranga river in São Paulo, by the characters who were involved together with D. Pedro I. Thus, Brazil ceased to be kingdom of Portugal. On November 15, 1889, the Federative Republic of Brazil was proclaimed, thus ending the monarchy regime.
Hipertensão refratária em paciente jovem: Um relato de caso
Authors: Castro Rafael Moura , Nasorri Beatriz Bandeira , Barbosa Isabela Ewbank , Louzada Luiza Travalini de Abreu
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Pheochromocytoma, a rare tumor originating from the chromaffin tissue of the adrenal medulla, has a prevalence of about 0.1-0.6% in patients with hypertension. Usually benign, its surgical removal can be curative. However, delays in diagnosis and inadequate treatment can lead to high mortality and morbidity rates. Case Report: A 23-year-old man with a history of resistant hypertension since December 2022 presented with symptoms of headache, palpitation, sweating, and anxiety. Tests revealed elevated levels of metanephrines and catecholamines, leading to the suspicion of pheochromocytoma. An MRI of the abdomen identified an expansive lesion in the right adrenal gland. Treatment included clinical management with alpha- and beta-blockers, followed by successful adrenalectomy, resulting in improvement of symptoms and hypertension. Discussion: The case illustrates the complexity inherent in the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma, a condition that often manifests surreptitiously in hypertensive patients. Resistance to conventional antihypertensive therapy, combined with symptoms such as headache, palpitations, and sweating, should raise suspicions of secondary hypertension and, consequently, pheochromocytoma. This case underlines the importance of a meticulous diagnostic evaluation in patients with refractory hypertension. Conclusion: Pheochromocytoma, despite being a rare cause of hypertension, represents a crucial differential diagnosis in secondary hypertension. Early diagnosis and appropriate surgical intervention are essential to prevent associated morbidity and mortality. This case reinforces the need for clinical surveillance for suggestive symptoms and the importance of appropriate diagnostic investigations in patients with resistant hypertension, particularly in young people.

Subtitling profanity into Malay: Balancing formal and creative taboo expressions
Authors: Mohamad Zakuan Tuan Ibharim
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Translation of swearwords has unceasingly gained traction in audiovisual translation. In subtitling, swearing does not only warrant linguistic consideration but other multimodal elements, such as intonation and body movement. Apart from subtitling technicalities, the difficulties of swearword translation are also impeded by their explicit and implicit forms, as well as the linguistic-cultural differences in source-target texts. This study aims to deliberate on the Malay translation of English swearwords of ‘fuck’ and ‘shit’ in two episodes of Netflix TV series The History of Swearwords.Methods: To this end, it employs a comparative and descriptive analysis by developing a parallel corpus by utilising AntConc and AntPConc software. The selection of Netflix posits no local law or policy restrictions and censorship.Results: The comparative analysis found a linkup between creative and formal subtitling of the swearwords, which signals a prevalent pragmatic and cultural foundation in the translation, especially vis-à-vis the deletion and neutralisation procedures. The study also raises other notable concerns, such as the identification and semantic comprehension of swearwords by the series subtitlers.Conclusions: Overall, the study posits that the socio-pragmatic factors, among others are still central for the English-Malay translation strategies of the swearwords in maintaining both linguistic accuracy and cultural appropriateness for target audience

Influence of Aeration through Turning on Microbial Activity and Decomposition Rate in Vermicomposting
Authors: Mal Sujit , Chattopadhyay Gunindra Nath
Published: October 2024

This study was implemented to investigate effects of turning (aeration) on microbiological activity and rate of decomposition in vermicomposting. Aeration is a key element in composting which provides oxygen to the aerobic organisms during composting. Oxygen also has the important function of controlling temperature as well as removing excess moisture and unhygienic gases. If the oxygen supply is limited, the composting process might turn anaerobic, which is much slower and odorous process. Such maintenance of aerobic condition has some additional significance for vermicomposting because the earthworms, which play vital role in this kind of composting, are essentially dependant on availability molecular oxygen in the system. Although some information is available on the beneficial effects of maintaining aerobic conditions in composting chambers through turning the piles during traditional composting yet such information with regard to vermicomposting is not available. In this experiment, therefore, the effect of turning the vermicomposting materials on nature and the behaviour of microorganisms and also on the rate of decomposition were studied. The result of the study will be hopefully helpful for maintaining aerobic condition in the vermicomposting system, thus improving the pace of vermicomposting and the quality of the product.

Molecular Interactions between Kaempferol and Apolipoprotein A-I (APOA1) of Rattus Norvegicus of Using Drug Docking
Authors: R.Sathya  , .J Thirumagal
Published: October 2024

Nowadays, pharmacological research investigations are essential to the development of new medication prospects. We have created high-resolution synteny and rearrangement breakpoint maps across the human, mouse, and rat genomes using paired-end sequences from bacterial artificial chromosomes. Apolipoprotein A-I (APOA1) is often associated with a markedly elevated risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Several studies in the field of clinico-genetics have confirmed this fact. In this work, we employ 3D Insilico drug docking techniques to simulate kaempferol interactions with the potential mutant target protein Apolipoprotein A-I (APOA1). Kaempferol is one of the primary phytochemicals present in Hibiscus rosa-sinensis. Numerous pharmacological effects of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis have been shown to be effective in treating a wide spectrum of human ailments. We look into the connection between APOA1 and kaempferol. In post-docking tests, advanced 3D molecular visualization capabilities were utilized. Kaempferol directly reduces amino acid mutational sites, as indicated by the docking study results. The molecular 3D H-bond interaction between APOA1 and Kaempferol is illustrated using concepts of molecular dynamics techniques based on 3D views. Docking studies play a key role in pharmaceutical researches for the production of novel drug candidates. Thus, investigations on Rattus norvegicus with kaempferol plays a significant role in the pharmacological industry in designing innovative medication candidates. Lastly, we conclude that kaempferol is protective against cardiovascular diseases associated with atherosclerosis.

Due to rapid urbanization, many aquatic habitats are now under severe eutrophication because of waste contaminated soil. Therefore, it is essential to assess the status of aquatic ecosystem surrounding us. The present study was conducted for the study of diversity of planktons which are indicator of aquatic ecosystem of two urban and two rural ponds of Kokrajhar district, Assam. The present study reveals a total of 37 species of planktons of which 23 species represents phytoplankton and 14 species represent zooplankton. The most pollution-tolerant species of Euglena, Navicula, Nitzschia, Ankistrodesmus, Phacus,Pinnularia and Scenedesmus were recorded indicating the highest degree of organic pollution. This plankton study explore that water quality has reached its threshold level and therefore, it needs some corrective measures to maintain the water quality from further deterioration in the study area.

Concrete is a composite material of several rock materials glued together by a binder. Concrete is formed from mixed aggregates (fine and coarse) and added with cement paste. This research was conducted by making concrete test objects by comparing normal type I cement concrete, concrete with added materials fly ash cement type I, and normal concrete type V in the form of a cube with a size of 15 x 15 x 15 cm for testing compressive strength and a measure of 5 x 10 cm for testing chloride ion penetration also porosity testing. This study indicates that the addition of fly ash 40% (Mix II) has a compressive strength above normal type V cement concrete (Mix III), adds resistance, and reduces the passing current and the voids in the concrete are less than normal type I cement concrete. However, it is less than normal type V cement concrete (Mix III) and is more economical than normal type V cement concrete (Mix III), normal concrete of both types of cement (Mix I and Mix II).

As development in the field of infrastructure increases, it will require more materials of natural origin. The availability of materials from nature will be reduced and more limited. Meanwhile, the construction of infrastructure continues to run every year for the improvement and comfort of the community. With this, the importation of goods will also increase, especially for bulk asphalt materials, and it is possible that later the stone that becomes one of the main materials for hot asphalt mixture will also bring in from abroad. If waste from peeled asphalt (RAP) can be reused, it will automatically reduce the use of materials from nature and reduce import activities of goods which results in reduced state expenditure.
The thesis task will discuss the reuse of peeled asphalt (milling) on the highway, starting from the benefits of RAP, the advantages of RAP, testing RAP materials and new materials, and how to produce RAP asphalt at the Asphalt Mixing Plant. The composition of the RAP used is 60% with SW1 rejunevile material of 3.8%, the addition of new aggregates of 40%, and the addition of new asphalt of 3.3%. The results of the compaction experiment in the field (trial compaction) which will be used for work reference are initial compaction (tandem roller 2 passing), intermediate compaction (tire roller 16 passing), and final compaction (tandem roller 1 passing), and the resulting density of hot mix beds of 98.36%.

Published: October 2024

The Premiere MTH is an apartment complex located in South Jakarta, constructed on land with a hard soil layer extending deeper than 16 meters. Given these conditions, a bored pile foundation was selected as the optimal solution. This foundation type can be tailored to the necessary depth while minimizing disruption to nearby structures during installation. A bored pile is a type of deep foundation created by drilling into the ground to a specified depth. The process involves drilling a hole with specialized equipment, inserting a steel reinforcement cage, and then pouring concrete into the hole. Special tools are used to lift and position the casing and reinforcement. Once the concrete is poured, the casing is removed. According to the design analysis, the bored pile foundations used in this project have a diameter of 800 mm, with varying depths of 30 m and 35 m.

Desde 2008, a legislação brasileira reconhece a necessidade do debate dos saberes culturais indígenas nas escolas de ensino fundamental e médio, no entanto, mais momentos formativos devem ser realizados para que a lei seja uma realidade. Nessa perspectiva, para auxiliar professores de Matemática a inserir essa discussão em sala de aula, a Etnomatemática desempenha um papel essencial para a proposição de abordagens nessa direção. Tendo em vista o projeto de extensão LEMAPE na Estrada, desenvolvido no Laboratório de Ensino de Matemática no Agreste Pernambucano (LEMAPE), foram organizadas oficinas para favorecer esse debate em diferentes escolas da região. Nesse ínterim, o presente trabalho tem por objetivo relatar uma abordagem etnomatemática desenvolvida com o jogo da onça na qual participaram estudantes do ensino médio. O processo metodológico foi desenvolvido na Escola de Referência em Ensino Médio Cônego Alexandre Cavalcanti, tendo início com a criação da oficina “Revisitando raízes indígenas, africanas e asiáticas por meio de jogos: um olhar sobre o pensamento matemático”, paralelamente à elaboração de tabuleiros do Jogo da Onça com o intuito de os estudantes jogarem no decorrer da oficina. Discussões sobre as estratégias mais indicadas em diferentes momen tos da oficina foram realizadas. Também foi elaborado um questionário para avaliar como os estudantes perceberam o jogo e sua relação com a Etnomatemática. Verificou-se que esses estudantes não têm muita afinidade com a Matemática, porém a aprendizagem por meio de jogos mostrou-se benéfica para eles, proporcionando uma abordagem diferenciada do ensino tradicional. Conclui-se que a aprendizagem matemática por meio de jogos que trazem aspectos culturais possibilita uma abordagem etnomatemática, além de tornar a Matemática atrativa. Dessa maneira, a abordagem com o Jogo da Onça não só constrói saberes matemáticos, mas também o conhecimento de diferentes culturas, resultando um ambiente onde se unem positivamente a Etnomatemática num rico processo de aprendizagem. Ou seja, o projeto de extensão “LEMAPE na estrada” proporciona a disseminação de práticas educacionais inovadoras, promovendo um ensino abrangente e culturalmente diversificado nas escolas da região.

A atual conjuntura da Educação brasileira demonstra uma certa insatisfação com os baixos índices de rendimento dos estudantes na disciplina de Matemática. Tendo em vista esse cenário, novas propostas têm surgido no âmbito da educação matemática para tornar o seu ensino mais eficaz. Na literatura é possível encontrar estudos sobre diversos jogos africanos de tabuleiros e as possibilidades para a abordagem na sala de aula de matemática. A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo relatar a experiência vivenciada em uma das ações do Laboratório de Ensino de Matemática do agreste pernambucano (LEMAPE), na qual aplicamos uma oficina temática com o jogo africano Shisima para duas turmas do Ensino Médio de uma escola pública da rede estadual de Pernambuco. Por meio da abordagem gamificada, estabelecemos relações entre o tabuleiro do jogo e conteúdos de geometria plana, mais precisamente o conceito de polígonos. Como resultados, foi possível perceber a importância do Laboratório de Ensino de Matemática para a qualificação dos licenciandos que nele atuam. Nesse sentido, a partir dessa vivência, o futuro docente adquire um conhecimento mais imersivo sobre a Etnomatemática, além de exercitar o planejamento de práticas lúdicas e dinâmicas para abordá-la em sala de aula. Ademais, destacamos que a oficina com perspectiva etnocentrada contribuiu para a aprendizagem dos estudantes ao propor uma atividade que contempla a realidade destes, pela abordagem da cultura africana contextualizada a partir do jogo Shisima. Por fim, não podemos deixar de lado a contribuição dessa ação para o combate ao racismo estrutural no ambiente escolar, ao empoderar alunos negros por meio da valorização da produção de conhecimento pela óptica da sabedoria dos povos africanos.
