The Promise of Maritime Heritage for Port Cities: Challenges, Concepts and New Approaches
Authors: Van Lier Martine
Published: November 2024

Maritime heritage – an ensemble of ships, ports, waterways, buildings and maritime skills – is one of the oldest and most vital forms of heritage. It has been key to the growth of port cities around the world. Maritime skills, which include the techniques and materials used to build and use watercraft, from dugout canoes to container vessels, have made it possible to transport goods, animals and people, bringing wealth to deltas and coastal areas. This article argues that maritime heritage holds cultural, historical and environmental value and can drive sustainable spatial and economic development. In the heritage sector, maritime heritage is a relative newcomer compared to built and natural monuments. However, especially in the context of climate change, it offers valuable lessons on adaptation and sustainability. Six examples from the Netherlands demonstrate how preserving maritime heritage can be compatible with climate adaptation and energy transition, including, for example, using wooden fishing vessels and tugboats in cities, towing vessels for slow tourism, and sailing vessels for combined passenger and goods transport. The article calls for additional studies of how the conservation of maritime heritage can encourage sustainable development.
Cultivating Water-Human Intimacy within the Built Environment: Insights from the Master of the Nets Garden
Authors: Lu Li , Zhang Haoxiang
Published: November 2024

Water plays a fundamental role in human survival and well-being. Despite extensive research highlighting the importance of water-human relationships, how to cultivate intimacy between them at the architectural scale remains largely underexplored. This article explores this dynamic through a case study of the Master of the Nets Garden in China. Using spatial, empirical and experiential analyses, it introduces a three-stage framework that integrates both quantitative and qualitative methods and examines various conditions within the garden that foster intimacy between visitors and water. It concludes that spatial conditions within the perceptual sphere of water, enabling diverse experiential modes, are crucial for fostering a sense of intimacy between visitors and water at the architectural level. The article highlights water-human intimacy as a core value of water-centric built heritage. This value remains significant for researchers, spatial practitioners and policymakers, offering important insights for heritage preservation and sustainable development.
The Venetian Arsenal: Water, Culture and Heritage
Authors: Camerin Federico
Published: November 2024

The Venetian Arsenal, one of Europe’s oldest shipyards, played a crucial role in the development of Venice. Although it now hosts events for the renowned Biennale, since the partial departure of the military, the site has offered little value to the communities in its vicinity in part because citizens have not been included in heritage management decisions. A recent draft agreement signed in 2022 to expand La Biennale’s activities threatens to further exacerbate livability problems faced by local communities. However, the agreement’s early stage presents an opportunity to repurpose the Arsenal in response to Venice’s many problems, including mass tourism, the need for more housing, the ecosystemic loss in the Venetian Lagoon and the ongoing privatization of public spaces.
Fluid Ontologies: Colonial Legacies and an Indigenous Oceanic Worldview in the Sulu Archipelago
Authors: Feng Di , Zhu Kaiyi
Published: November 2024

In recent decades in Southeast Asia, dramatic social, economic and political changes have profoundly impacted the lives of Indigenous populations. In Malaysia, the Sama Dilaut, known as the “sea nomads,” are under pressure to abandon their traditional way of living at a time of rapid modernization. Over centuries, the Sama Dilaut have developed a harmonious relationship with their environment, practicing sustainable small-scale fishing methods that have minimal impact on marine ecosystems. In their worldview, humans are not considered exceptional but interconnected with the ocean and species that inhabit it. This contrasts with the Western-centric worldview, where nature-culture dualism prevails, viewing humans as separate from nature and encouraging exploitative attitudes toward the environment. This article outlines and acknowledges the value of the Sama Dilaut culture, knowledge of the sea and struggles against dominant power structures. It advocates for recognizing Indigenous rights to ancestral lands and seas and integrating Indigenous knowledge and communities in conservation practices. These goals are essential for achieving justice for Indigenous peoples and offer significant potential in the search for alternative approaches to combating climate change.
The Longue Durée of Weitian Landscapes in the Yangtze River Delta
Authors: Lei Wei , Shannon Kelly , De Meulder Bruno
Published: November 2024

The ancient weitian (polder) system in the Yangtze River Delta represents a particular form of water urbanism, integrating productive polders, villages and prosperous water towns (shui-xiang). Over millennia, the hudangweitian (shallow lake polders) transformed the muddy plains around Taihu Lake into a highly productive area. Zhenze, founded in the twelfth century, is an important water town that initially operated within a network of garrisons and trading ports. This case study illustrates the resilience of weitian landscapes and how twentieth-century water management reshaped the small polders into larger wei-qu (polder zones) through a process of lian-wei-bing-wei (joined and merged polders). While urbanization and industrialization continue to erase many historic polders, the region’s water towns are being preserved and developed, largely for tourism. The case highlights both the benefits and shortcomings of the weitian transformations, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach that both facilitates development and preserves the region’s unique deltaic conditions.

Factors Affecting Customer Satisfaction: The Case of Ethiopia Hotel, Addis Ababa
Authors: Shibru Assefa Emebet
Published: November 2024

The research topic in this study was to investigate the link between service quality, customer expectations, customer complaints, customer satisfaction, and customer loyalty in the Ethiopian hotel. The research method adopted for the study was explanatory, non-experimental quantitative research based on the convenient sampling technique that targeted 300 hotel customers in Ethiopia using both primary and secondary data collection tools. The findings revealed several key insights: Service quality with customer expectation was found to have a positive link with customer satisfaction while customer complaint also has a direct positive effect on customer satisfaction means complaints can provide a chance to improve customer satisfaction with the hotel. This research also reveals that there is no straight relationship between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty this might be so because other factors than satisfaction such as brand image, customer perceived value, and engagement may play a vital role in this regard. The scholars suggest hotel managers practice customer-oriented strategies for the identification of effective complaint handling, Customer Perceived Value increase, Company Reputation improvement, and the acknowledgment of the factors that contribute to Customer Loyalty. The practical implications include developing a targeted strategy to improve customer experience and retention.

Published: November 2024

La atrofia muscular espinal (AME) es una enfermedad neuromuscular frecuente en la edad pediátrica caracterizada por la presencia de debilidad muscular progresiva, hipotonía y atrofia muscular simétrica. El tratamiento de la AME en Perú se basa en el uso de los fármacos risdiplam y nusinersen. Presentamos el caso de un niño de siete años con AME tipo 2 en tratamiento con risdiplam. El paciente fue derivado al servicio de cardiología de un centro pediátrico de referencia nacional en Lima, Perú. Se evidenció cuadriparesia, hipotonía, reflejos osteotendinosos, sensibilidad conservada y bipedestación con apoyo. Se inició tratamiento con risdiplam en modalidad de uso compasivo. La respuesta al tratamiento fue favorable, evidenciándose un incremento en los puntajes de las puntuaciones de las escalas de función motora. Además, se observó una mejoría clínica en la calidad y rapidez de los movimientos. Las radiografías de control evidenciaron escoliosis dorsal leve (10° de ángulo de Cobb); mientras que la evaluación de la función pulmonar estuvo conservada (CVF = 85 %). A pesar de su efectividad, el tratamiento con ridisplasm es de difícil acceso para los pacientes con AME debido a su alto costo; de ahí la importancia de presentar este caso a la comunidad científica.

Authors: Franco-Bustamante Kelly , Poterico Julio A. , Manassero-Morales Gioconda
Published: November 2024

Quisiera aprovechar este espacio para destacar la relevancia de la variación farmacogenética del gen que codifica la enzima tiopurina metiltransferasa (TPMT). Esta enzima se encarga de metabolizar los fármacos tiopurínicos, ampliamente utilizados en la práctica clínica, especialmente en el contexto del tratamiento de las leucemias, enfermedades autoinmunes y la prevención del rechazo de trasplantes. La actividad de la enzima TPMT varía entre individuos según su genotipo. Algunas personas presentan variantes genéticas que resultan en niveles bajos o nulos de actividad enzimática, otras en niveles intermedios y otras en niveles normales.Aquellas con niveles bajos de actividad enfrentan un mayor riesgo de experimentar reacciones adversas medicamentosas (RAMs) graves como la mielosupresión o la hepatotoxicidad (1).

Revitalizando el talento humano: causas, retos y estrategias ante la crisis de media carrera en radiología y experiencia en un hospital pediátrico de referencia en Lima, Perú
Authors: Ugas Charcape Carlos F.
Published: November 2024

El talento humano es el producto más valioso del sistema educativo.  El crecimiento y complejidad de los centros docente-asistenciales hacen crucial el reclutamiento, retención y desarrollo de una fuerza laboral calificada y comprometida (1). Recientemente se ha reconocido que parte de esta fuerza laboral que se encuentra en la mitad de su carrera tiene retos especiales que deben ser abordados (2). La edad mediana es un período de la vida marcado por el paso de un rol social de dependencia a uno de liderazgo y de mayores responsabilidades (3). La crisis asociada al cambio en esta etapa central de la vida,  también se refleja en la carrera médica y, por lo tanto, en la especialidad de radiología. Un radiólogo en la mitad de su carrera es aquel que inició labores entre 5 a 10 años atrás, y que está a 5 a 10 años de la jubilación (4). La “enfermedad” de la mitad de la carrera se define como un sentimiento de estancamiento profesional y falta de claridad sobre cuál rumbo tomar en el futuro. Esta crisis puede llevar al profesional a cambios de organización laboral, e incluso a abandonar  la carrera (2). La escasez de especialistas en radiología se ha incrementado en los últimos años a nivel mundial. Esto puede explicarse por una mayor disponibilidad de equipos radiológicos, así como por una mayor dependencia de los especialistas de esta tecnología para diagnósticos más precisos y tratamientos menos invasivos  (5–7).

Authors: Ayala-Ayala Ruth Antonilla , Caldas-Herrera Emma
Published: November 2024

La adherencia al tratamiento farmacológico es crucial para controlar enfermedades, prevenir complicaciones y promover un desarrollo saludable en la infancia garantizando una mejora en la salud y bienestar a largo plazo. El objetivo fue analizar los factores relacionados a la adherencia al tratamiento en pacientes pediátricos atendidos por consultorio externo en un instituto especializado. Se realizó un estudio observacional y transversal en el que se encuestó a 385 padres o apoderados utilizando un cuestionario de 13 preguntas y el test de Morisky-Green-Levine. Los resultados indicaron que la adherencia al tratamiento fue del 14,4 % en quienes tenían educación secundaria, 18,4 % en amas de casa y 14,1 % en aquellos con ingresos menores al sueldo mínimo. A pesar de que el 78,4 % de los encuestados no reportó reacciones adversas, solo el 17,2 % mostró adherencia al tratamiento. Esta también varió según el género y la edad, con un 16,4 % en mujeres, 19,1 % en el grupo de edad de 36 a 45 años, 12,8 % en parejas convivientes y 17,8 % en viviendas familiares. El estudio identifica problemas relacionadas con la baja adherencia al tratamiento, especialmente entre padres o apoderados de menores con educación secundaria, amas de casa y aquellos responsables de tratamientos que superan los 15 días. Se observó que las mujeres cuidadoras de 26 a 45 años; convivientes, presentaron una adherencia baja en la administración de medicamentos. Se sugieren intervenciones como programas educativos, recordatorios a través de dispositivos móviles y apoyo emocional para mejorar la adherencia.
Vitamin-D Deficiency and Its Association with Depression in Under 18s: A Mysterious Relationship of Sunlight with Darkness
Authors: Khan Hayat
Published: November 2024

Vitamin D receptors are present in areas of the brain involved in mood regulation, such as the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. It is suggested that Vitamin D may modulate the synthesis and release of neurotransmitters, including serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, which play crucial roles in mood regulation and are implicated in depression. Vitamin D also has anti-inflammatory properties and can influence immune system functioning. Chronic inflammation has been linked to the development of depression. Vitamin D may help regulate the immune response, reducing inflammation and potentially mitigating depressive symptoms. The deficiency of this vitamin has been previously thought to be not as common as recognized now. This review looked at several studies to explore the association of Vitamin D deficiency and clinical depression in children and adolescents. Many studies based on adult population have found plausible link between Vitamin D deficiency and depression but the research in under 18s have been limited. Based on the available research, mental health clinicians need to maintain a high clinical suspicion, to make early diagnosis and treatment of vitamin D deficiency.
Opioid Use Disorder Industry: Role of Recent Trends in Transformation of the Sector
Authors: Lee Rachel
Published: November 2024

Opioid use disorder (OUD) is characterized as a chronic and manageable mental health condition that encompasses a problematic pattern of misusing opioids. Individuals experiencing this disorder encounter challenges in moderating or stopping their opioid usage, even when faced with problems resulting from the drug.
This disorder may involve both physical and psychological dependencies. Psychological dependence occurs when a drug becomes so integral to an individual's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that the urge to continue using it becomes a strong craving or compulsion, persisting despite adverse consequences.

Five Questions to John Morijn and Luke Dimitrios Spieker
Women, Labor and Marxist Feminism
Authors: Liu Zhuo
Published: November 2024

当代女性主义流派可以被整合为三类：第一类是缺乏解放理论的激进女性主义；第二类是具备解放理论但存在偏见的社会主义女性主义；第三类是既具有解放理论，又具有女性视角，且能较为全面地分析女性受压制现状的马克思主义女性主义。马克思主义女性主义的特点是超越前二者的局限并在自身的观点争论中拓宽理论视域，这就使得它所包含观点具有针对性和重构性。就针对性而言，它主张用辩证法的思维分析社会结构，而不仅仅是针对各个要素作孤立分析。就此，它辨析了家庭与市场、生产与再生产、父权制与资本主义的辩证关系。就重构性而言，它提出了家务劳动的概念并重塑了再生产的内涵，揭示出女性受压制的意识形态的物质基础，即在性统治领域男性对女性家务劳动的占有，以及在阶级统治领域男性对女性再生产劳动的占有。而从单一性别论题向整个社会结构的分析与建构的理论进展将为马克思主义女性主义的未来发展提供可能的方向。

Authors: Fong Stany Wee Lian , Ismail Hishamuddin , Kian Tan Pei , Kamaruddin Nur Izaitun
Published: November 2024

In today's fast-paced consumer environment, understanding brand trust is paramount, particularly in low-involvement product adoption. This research investigates the development of brand trust tailored to low-involvement contexts, confirming two fundamental dimensions: brand competence (t = 2.31, p < 0.05), and brand intention (t = 6.07, p < 0.01). Through a thorough examination of pertinent literature and empirical evidence, this study confirms how these dimensions profoundly influence consumer perceptions and behaviors in low-involvement product adoption scenarios, seemingly surpassing the influence of conventional characteristics in the Diffusion of Innovation context. Brand competence underscores the ability to fulfill promised benefits, while brand intention emphasizes the willingness to genuinely care for consumer well-being. By delineating and confirming these dimensions, this study provides marketers and researchers with a focused framework to comprehend and bolster brand trust in low-involvement product adoption contexts. Ultimately, leveraging these insights presents brands with an opportunity to cultivate stronger consumer relationships and excel in competitive market landscapes.
Eco-Friendly Drive: Extending The Theory of Planned Behaviours Towards Electric Vehicle Adoption
Authors: Adrian Tan Le Yau , Ismail Hishamuddin , Kamaruddin Nur Izaitun
Published: November 2024

Global carbon dioxide emissions have seen a drastic increase, with the United States, European Union, China, and India being the largest contributors. In response to this pressing issue, the United Nations has adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to combat poverty, protect the environment, and ensure global peace and prosperity. Malaysia has also experienced a rise in carbon dioxide emissions, particularly from energy consumption, which is largely attributed to fossil fuel usage. To address these challenges, the integration of electric vehicles (EVs) into the Malaysian economy has emerged as a promising avenue for sustainable development and to support the SDGs. The Malaysian government has committed to promoting sustainability and inclusivity, with a goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Therefore, this study aims to understand the factors influencing consumer purchase intention towards EVs in Malaysia. The study is grounded in the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), which posits that behavioural intention is influenced by attitude towards the behaviour, subjective norm, and perceived behavioural control. Using a cross-sectional study design with a sample size of 250, the study targets individuals aged 18 and above, holding a driver's license, with driving experience, and currently non-electric vehicle users. The research employs multiple linear regression to test the hypotheses. The findings contribute significantly to knowledge by supporting government policies for improving EV adoption and providing insights for industry players on promoting EVs. Overall, the study aims to pave the way for a more sustainable transportation sector in Malaysia, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change.
Rural Transportation and its Impact on the Output and Income Generated from Cashew Production in Selected Rural Settlements in Kwara State, Nigeria
Authors: Aboyeji Olurotimi , Aguda Akinola Samuel
Published: November 2024

Rural transportation plays a crucial role in agricultural production and livelihood of farmers in developing countries. Information on its impact on cashew’s outputs and income is not clearly documented in the literature. Consequently, this study identified the types of roads and transport modes of cashew farmers, assessed the transport services patronized by cashew farmers, examined the annual outputs and income from cashew; and assessed the impact of transport on both in Kwara South Senatorial District Kwara State, Nigeria. Data used were obtained from 1,373 farmers systematically selected from thirty-six rural settlements in the study area. Responses were analysed using principal component analysis, regression analysis and correlation analysis. Results showed that tarred roads connected only about 44.4% of the settlements in the area. About 56.4% of respondents rated the transport services as good. Significant relationships were found between cashew output and; road condition (b = −0.151, p = 0.000) and; transport services (b = −0.097, p = 0.000), while, income from cashew was directly and significantly correlated with transport mode (r = 0.059, p < 0.05), road condition (r = −0.153, p < 0.05) and, transport services (r = −0.096, p < 0.05). The study concluded that variations in transport facilities only accounted for some level of spatial variations in both cashew’s output and income in the study area and, recommended improvements of transport facilities to enhance increase in farmers’ crop output and income to achieve improved rural livelihood.

There is a growing interest in the motivational aspects of combat sports and martial arts practitioners due to the uniqueness of these sports modalities. The aim of this study was to establish the relationships between descriptive variables and the motivational climate of athletes practising combat sport and martial arts. This cross-sectional study was carried out on 303 athletes practising combat sports and martial arts in Spain. Motivational climate was assessed using the motivational climate questionnaires (PMCSQ-2). The results showed significant differences between motivational climate and gender, BMI, developmental stages, level of competition and for retired athletes, however, no significant differences were found for retired subjects with respect to those who continued to compete and weekly hours of practice. These results seem to suggest the convenience of using differentiated strategies, according to sex, age, level of competition or for athletes who have been retired for a period of time when working on protective factors that could increase enjoyment or performance in combat sports and martial arts.

Published: November 2024

Anxiety, physical inactivity, as well as poor adherence to a good diet are some of the most frequent problems among the university population. This may be mainly due to the preoccupation with studies, exams and all the work assignments, ending in little time for culinary and physical activity. All of this leads to an increase in pathologies such as stress and anxiety, which causes students to create bad habits. The aim of this study was to relate stress and anxiety levels, as well as physical activity and adherence to the Mediterranean diet in a sample of university students. The focus is therefore on the differences between gender and academic performance. For this purpose, a cross-sectional, descriptive, comparative, descriptive design study was used, with a sample of 272 university participants who completed the PREDIMED test, the Beck anxiety inventory and an Ad Hoc sociodemographic questionnaire. The main results obtained are that the female sex suffers a higher rate of anxiety than the opposite sex. In addition, it is important to highlight that people who practice more physical activity have lower levels of anxiety, obtaining that 8 out of 10 students who practice physical activity have lower levels of anxiety.

La ansiedad, la inactividad física, así como la mala adherencia a una buena dieta son algunos de los problemas más frecuentes entre la población universitaria. Todo esto puede deberse principalmente a la preocupación por los estudios, los exámenes y todas las entregas de trabajos, finalizando en el poco tiempo para la actividad culinaria y física. Todo ello, concluye en el aumento de patologías como el estrés y la ansiedad, lo que hace que el estudiantado cree malos hábitos. El objetivo principal de este estudio fue relacionar los niveles de estrés y ansiedad, así como, la actividad física y la adherencia a la dieta mediterránea en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios. Enfocándose, por tanto, en las diferencias existentes entre el género y el rendimiento académico. Para ello, se ha utilizado un estudio de diseño comparativo, descriptivo y de corte transversal, contando con una muestra de 272 participantes universitarios, quienes completaron el test PREDIMED, el inventario de ansiedad de Beck, así como un cuestionario sociodemográfico Ad Hoc. Los principales resultados obtenidos son que, el sexo femenino padece un mayor índice de ansiedad que el sexo contrario. Además, es importante destacar que, las personas que practican mayor actividad física tienen menos niveles de ansiedad, obteniendo que, 8 de cada 10 estudiantes que practican actividad física, presentan niveles más bajos de ansiedad.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of an 8-week high-intensity exercise program on anxiety and academic performance in high school students. A total of 37 participants were recruited, and were randomly assigned to the control group n19 (51.4%) and the experimental group n18 (48.6%). They presented adherence to the program (98%). The intensity was aimed at 80% to 95% of the frequency maximum heart rate, with sessions of 10 minutes with a frequency of 3 times a week. The intensity of the exercise was measured through the Borg perception of exertion scale. Beck's anxiety inventory validated in the Chilean population was used to measure state anxiety and the school's official grades record (Papinotas) was used to measure academic performance in language and mathematics. The post-intervention experimental group showed a decrease in anxiety from 22.2±11.99 to 13.7±8.19, in language the average grade increased from 4.61±0.97 to 5.12±0.90 in mathematics no significant results were found. An 8-week high-intensity exercise program was shown to decrease anxiety symptoms and improve language academic performance in high school students in a convenience sample.

Este estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar los efectos de un programa de ejercicio de alta intensidad de 8 semanas en la ansiedad y el rendimiento académico en estudiantes de secundaria. Se reclutó a un total de 37 participantes, quienes fueron asignados aleatoriamente al grupo de control n19 (51.4%) y al grupo experimental n18 (48.6%). Presentaron una adherencia al programa (98%). La intensidad se dirigió al 80% al 95% de la frecuencia cardíaca máxima, con sesiones de 10 minutos con una frecuencia de 3 veces por semana. La intensidad del ejercicio se midió a través de la escala de percepción del esfuerzo de Borg. Se utilizó el inventario de ansiedad de Beck validado en la población chilena para medir la ansiedad de estado y el registro oficial de calificaciones de la escuela (Papinotas) para medir el rendimiento académico en lenguaje y matemáticas. El grupo experimental post-intervención mostró una disminución en la ansiedad de 22.2±11.99 a 13.7±8.19, en lenguaje el promedio de calificación aumentó de 4.61±0.97 a 5.12±0.90; en matemáticas no se encontraron resultados significativos. Se demostró que un programa de ejercicio de alta intensidad de 8 semanas disminuyó los síntomas de ansiedad y mejoró el rendimiento académico en lenguaje en estudiantes de secundaria en una muestra de conveniencia.

Body language and expression is a fundamental tool for working on emotions and non-verbal communication. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to analyse the opinions on body expression of students of the Early Childhood Education teacher training degree in Extremadura (Spain). The sample was formed by eighty-four last-year students. The results show that the students do not consider that they have received the necessary training to use the contents related to body expression in their classrooms. In addition, the respondents consider that the educational centres do not give sufficient importance to body expression, as a result of the lack of material, lack of conditioning of the educational facilities and lack of time in the pupils' daily workdays. Therefore, the number of training credits in the field of body expression should be improved and increased, as well as the continuous and specific training of active education professionals.

La Expresión Corporal es una herramienta fundamental para trabajar las emociones y la comunicación no verbal. Por ello, el objetivo del presente trabajo fue analizar las opiniones sobre la expresión corporal de estudiantes del grado de formación del profesorado de Educación Infantil de Extremadura (España). La muestra estuvo compuesta por ochenta y cuatro estudiantes de cuarto curso. Los resultados muestran que los alumnos no consideran que hayan recibido la formación necesaria para utilizar los contenidos relacionados con la expresión corporal en sus aulas. Además, los encuestados consideran que los centros educativos no dan la suficiente importancia a la expresión corporal, a consecuencia de la falta de material, falta de acondicionamiento de las instalaciones educativas y falta de tiempo en las jornadas diarias del alumnado. Por tanto, debe mejorarse y aumentarse el número de créditos de formación en el ámbito de expresión corporal, así como la formación continuada y específica de los profesionales de la educación en activo.

TEXT AND POWER: UNPACKING THE DISCOURSE OF BALOCH LONG MARCH POSTERS THROUGH LINGUISTIC AND TEXTUAL ANALYSIS

Published: November 2024

This qualitative study examines the linguistic and visual strategies employed in the placards of the Baloch Long March, a movement highlighting the struggles of marginalized Baloch communities. Applying Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), this research seeks to uncover how language and visuals interact to convey messages of resistance and identity. The study addresses an identified gap in discourse analysis, focusing on how protest language and symbols are strategically used to challenge systemic oppression and amplify collective voices. Our findings reveal that Baloch Long March placards utilize assertive language, metaphorical expressions, and culturally resonant visuals that communicate the anguish of enforced disappearances and emphasize resilience and solidarity. SFL analysis highlights language's ideational and interpersonal functions in portraying oppression's personal and communal impact. At the same time, CDA offers insights into the power dynamics and ideological structures that these messages critique. Nonverbal elements, including colour symbolism and visual metaphors, strengthen the emotional appeal and accessibility of the messages, enhancing their impact on audiences. This study contributes to discourse and communication research by illustrating how integrated linguistic and visual elements in protest placards foster accessibility and encourage collective mobilisation. In addition, this research underscores the power of language and imagery in shaping social narratives.
