Az orális prevenció és a fogászati kezelések fontossága a várandósság alatt
Authors: Molnár Petra , Lázár Jázmin , Németh Anikó
Published: May 2023

A várandósság örömteli mivolta mellett nagy igénybevételt jelent a női szervezet számára, és ez alól a szájüreg, fogazat sem kivétel. Az elhanyagolt fogazat számos veszélyt jelent nemcsak az anya, hanem a magzat számára is. Az anyánál kialakulhat többek között fogínyvérzés, -gyulladás, fogszuvasodás; a magzatnál pedig fogfejlődési rendellenesség, fertőzés, koraszülés vagy akár vetélés is. Kutatások kimutatták, hogy azok a terhes nők, akik sűrűbben részt vesznek fogászati szűréseken, nagyobb súlyú újszülöttet hoztak világra és alacsonyabb volt a perinatalis szövődmények előfordulása, mint azoknál, akik ritkán vagy egyáltalán nem jártak vizsgálatokon. Éppen ezért fontos a várandósok fokozott dentális gondozása a terhesség alatt, ami nemcsak a fogászati ellátásban/ellenőrzésben valósulhat meg, hanem az egészségügyi ellátás minden szintjén és szinte minden szakembere által, akivel a várandós a kilenc hónap alatt találkozik.

Facing yet another crisis? Gender-based violence policies at the Spanish local level during COVID-19
Authors: Paleo Mosquera Natalia , Alonso Álvarez Alba , Diz Otero Isabel
Published: May 2023

Analyses show that crises like the Covid-19 pandemic had gendered effects. This paper explores its impact on gender-based violence (GBV) policies in Spain. We carry out an empirical analysis addressing the case of Information Centres for Women, a local institution in the region of Galicia aimed at promoting equality and tackling GBV. We use a survey to gather information on three key dimensions of GBV policies (resources, actions and coordination) before, during, and after the pandemic. The study shows that there were no significant setbacks in terms of funding and personnel during lockdown. Yet, resources were not enlarged despite increasing levels of violence. Actions had to focus on priority issues and preventive measures were mostly paralyzed, while coordination with other institutions became more difficult. Data gathered for the post-pandemic period indicates that some of these changes remained in place. The article contributes to academic debates by delving into an understudied policy issue: the impact of the pandemic on equality policies at the local level.

Published: May 2023

O objeto deste artigo é o projeto político pedagógico. O problema de pesquisa é analisar as diferentes expressões dos “modelos” de projetos na escola. O objetivo é conceituar projeto em suas diversas faces, analisando seus “modelos” encontrados na escola. A abordagem da investigação é bibliográfica e analisada com base no pensamento de teóricos que refletiram sobre os “modelos” de projetos político pedagógicos. A pesquisa apoia-se no método materialismo histórico-dialético para compreender o objeto, perceber a dinâmica entre os “modelos” de projetos e a refuta por explicações completas. Investigou-se o vocábulo projeto e suas interpretações. Os “modelos” inovam as práticas docentes, proporcionam estratégias concretas à autonomia da gestão e fundamentam-se em ações decididas pelas pessoas. Caso inexista tais possibilidades, as práticas docentes são conduzidas ao trabalho tradicional com ações irreais, impraticáveis, de participação negociada entre os profissionais. O “modelo” democrático prescrito na Lei de Diretrizes e Bases de 1996, promove a participação, a autonomia e representa recurso para transformar a sociedade. A proposta proporciona conhecimento, qualidade e mudanças para emancipar as pessoas pela educação.

Published: May 2023

This research aims to investigate the detailed state of adsorption kinetics modelling and research on the application of hydrogen sulfide adsorption by hydrogel derived from empty fruit bunch (EFB), the determination of the kinetics parameters, and the comparison between models in a selection of the best-fit model.The kinetics modelling used are pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models. The correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the suitability of the equation R2. After obtaining the results, the comparison was made by comparing the R2 of each model. The pseudo-second-order model has a higher value of correlation coefficient, R2, making it the most suitable kinetics model for adsorption systems.The R2 for pseudo-first-order on the effect of dry bed height was 0.8814, whereas its effect on powder bed height was 0.9537, and that of the wet bed height was 0.9607. Meanwhile, the R2 for pseudo-second-order on the effect of dry bed height was 0.89, on the effect of the powder bed height was 0.99, and on the effect of the bed height of wet was 0.99, the highest among kinetic models. Based on the results, the pseudo-second-order model best describes the adsorption of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) by hydrogel biochar.The kinetics modelling used are pseudo-first-order, and pseudo-second-order models for hydrogen sulfide adsorption by hydrogel originating from empty fruit bunches (EFB).Based on the results, the pseudo-second-order model best describes the adsorption of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) by hydrogel biochar. Kinetic studies are important in understanding the reactions and design of the process.The authenticity results of this article were found to be 17% similar. The novelty of this paper is the kinetics study of the new adsorbent developed based on EFB to adsorb H2S.
The impact of 3D printing assumptions and CNC machining conditions on the mechanical parameters of the selected PET material
Authors: Krawulski P. , Dyl T.
Published: May 2023

This article focuses on a comparative analysis of the technology of additive shaping and multi-axis CNC machining. The authors examine the impact of 3D printing assumptions and CNC machining conditions on the strength of the selected PET material used to produce machine elements on the example of a shaft-type element. The purpose of the study is to identify a better production method.The analysis was carried out by producing six samples of different diameters and lengths from the same thermoplastic material (ethylene terephthalate) by both 3D printing (FDM) and CNC machining. The resulting samples were subjected to a static compression test, for which a universal testing machine by Zwick & Roell 100 kN was used. The following factors during the production of elements were compared: the difficulty of preparing the project, the time of execution, the cost of execution, the accuracy of the execution and the properties of the elements made.Elements made by CNC machining have higher compressive strength and yield strength, as well as lower relative expansion and relative shortening. Those produced by CNC machining are created as a monolith (semi-finished product), and the printed elements are incrementally shaped layer by layer. During the strength test, the spaces between the layers decrease, which in turn causes an increase in relative shortening and a decrease in strength properties.Further research is planned on the analysis of manufacturing technology using incremental shaping technology (e.g. change of filling density, change of filling type, change of material) compared to CNC machining.In the conducted tests, a universal method was used, which can be translated into a comparative study of elements made of other materials.The research carried out allowed for the initial assessment of the use of PET material for the production of machine elements through 3D printing and CNC machining.

Una autoetnografía sobre el estigma y la opresión médica en el Síndrome de Fatiga Crónica
Authors: Becerra Castro Jenny Paola
Published: May 2023

El Síndrome de fatiga crónica/Encefalomielitis miálgica (EM/SFC), es una enfermedad crónica grave y polisintomática que a pesar del fuerte impacto en la calidad de vida de quienes la padecen, ha sido seriamente invisibilizada y estigmatizada. Su etiología se ha debatido entre un estatus psicogénico y uno multisistémico de carácter neuroinmune, pero siendo dominante en la práctica clínica el primero. Dicha discusión no ha sido indiferente para la comunidad de pacientes porque sus experiencias con la enfermedad se relacionan directamente con las posiciones teóricas y los abordajes clínicos empleados en casos de EM/SFC. Por lo tanto, la pregunta: ¿Cómo impacta el abordaje dominante en la experiencia de enfermedad de la persona que la padece y en la relación médico-paciente? Se responde con un análisis autoetnográfico que contextualiza teóricamente mi experiencia como autora con la enfermedad. Se exponen distintos aspectos que revelan que el abordaje contemporáneo de la enfermedad puede terminar en desestimar las percepciones y preocupaciones genuinas de los pacientes por no ser visibles en exámenes de rutina, promoviendo así la opresión médica y la estigmatización. Finalmente, la autoetnografía se compromete con la autorreflexión, y la crítica cultural se emplea como herramienta de resistencia de voces subalternizadas en el escenario médico de la EM/SFC.
Effect of a TNF-Alpha Inhibitor on Anxiety and Depression-Like Behaviors in a Mouse Chemobrain Model
Authors: ÖZ Mehmet , AKARAS Nurhan
Published: May 2023

Although chemotherapy increases the survival rate of cancer patients, it causes significant side effects such as deterioration in cognitive functions that generate a decline in their living standards. In our study, the effect of adalimumab on anxiety- and depression-like behaviors in mice with cognitive impairment with methotrexate was investigated. In our study, methotrexate (40 mg kg-1) was administered intraperitoneally as a single dose to create a chemobrain model in mice. Adalimumab (10 mg kg-1), a TNF-alpha inhibitor, was administered twice, 1 hour and 5 days before methotrexate administration. Anxiety-like behaviors were measured with elevated plus maze test and open field test, depression-like behaviors were measured with tail suspension test, and hippocampal tissue was examined histopathologically. Methotrexate decreased the time spent in the central zone in the open-field arena, the time spent in the open arms in the elevated plus maze test, and increased the duration of immobility in the tail suspension test in rats. Methotrexate caused a decrease in the number of neuronal cells in the CA3 region of the hippocampus, as well as neurodegenerative and atrophic changes. Adalimumab ameliorated methotrexate-related anxiety- and depression-like behaviors, and caused improvement in histopathological changes. In this study, it was shown that methotrexate-related anxiety and depression-like behavioral disorders were prevented by adalimumab treatment, but further studies are recommended to investigate the mechanisms mediating the therapeutic effect of adalimumab.
UNDERSTANDING THE ASPECTS OF LEARNING AND LEARNERS: A CONCEPTUAL ANALYSIS
Authors: Mas'ud Bulqia
Published: May 2023

The main focus of this research is to understand the meaning of learning and the nature of a learner. The analysis elaborates who learners are, where learners can be found, when learners and how learning happens. Besides, the article also explicates intelligence, information processing and motivation in learning. The discussion of the article explains that learning happens in any circumstances throughout human development and generates some changes in cognition and behavior. Furthermore, the learning process begins when humans face external stimuli through human interaction. The stimuli continue to be processed in the brain to activate thinking process hence it is called cognitive development. In the next discussion, we put forward that learning requires both logical-reasoning and emotional intelligence. Logical-reasoning is related to information processing in the brain.  It is a process where human mind is being active when receiving, storing, and retrieving information hence new knowledge is gained after processed in human information processing system. While, emotional Intelligence is social intelligence which connects between learners’ emotional, social, and cognitive wellbeing. In the last discussion, we suggest that the effectiveness of learning needs good motivation which is influenced by the internal encouragement of human behavior, expectancy-value theory, and goal setting.
ANDRAGOGY: TEORI PEMBELAJARAN AGAMA ISLAM PADA USIA DEWASA
Authors: Aini Nurul
Published: May 2023

The aim of this research is know how to deepen the knowledge of Islam by using the theory of Andragogy. This study uses a qualitative method in the literature research section. Sources of data are taken from various printed and electronic texts and discourses that are considered relevant, such as books and journals. The approach uses an interpretive approach. The benefit of this research is that people who have entered adulthood do not feel ashamed and hesitate to continue learning, because learning does not look at age. Based on the research, it is known that andragogy learning theory has an important role in studying Islamic education. This is because there are many Islamic laws that make the object of the perpetrator as a mukallaf (adult). Andragogy learning success requires good manners, interests and motivation. Various methods can be used in the learning process, namely the lecture method, discussion, demonstration to practical training. The stages in the andragogy learning process start from preparation for a good climate, formulating goals, determining relevant materials and methods.

Published: May 2023

Martial arts which promotes meditation, discipline and physical activity have positive effect on overall health and well-being of the practitioner. This study aimed to investigate the improvement of quality of life of martial arts practitioners such as silat. This randomized interventional study was conducted in six states in Malaysia including Pahang, Terengganu, Selangor, Kelantan, Kedah and Sabah. Participants were randomly divided into control (not practicing martial arts) and intervention (practicing martial arts) groups. Self-administered questionnaires consisting of socio-demography (5 items), smoking cessation (4 items), physical activity (6 items) and overall wellbeing (7 items) were distributed to both groups at pre- and post-intervention. A total of 200 participants (age group of 18-28 years = 95%; male = 98%; Muslim = 98%; collage/university education level = 99%) were recruited. Intervention group showed better improvement on lethargy (78.0% vs 66.0%), agitations (80.0% vs 54.0%), restlessness (82.0% vs 53.0%), depressions (92.0% vs 56.0%) and smoking cessation (100.0% vs 75.0%), compared to the control group. Martial arts promote a positive effect on a person's overall quality of life. This finding encourages an alternative for better health promotion specifically among youths
Challenges and Management of Restaurant Waste in Shah Alam
Authors: D’cruz Clarissa Carol
Published: May 2023

As the food industry continues to flourish, so will its waste. Research has indicated that decision makers in the food industry do not perceive food waste as a problem nor intend to tackle it. Thus, the aim of this research is to determine perceptions on food waste, to study intentions on food waste mitigation and food surplus management practices as well as to study about food waste management practices among casual dining restaurant managers in Shah Alam. Using convenience sampling and a self-administered online questionnaire, 113 (N) casual dining restaurant managers were given the survey. Using descriptive statistics, the results revealed that the mean score for perceptions ranges from 4.13 - 4.72 (high - very high agreement level), indicating that food waste is perceived as an issue. Mean scores ranging from 4.01 - 4.6 (high - very high agreement level) and 3.95 - 4.26 (high - very high agreement level) were obtained for intentions on food waste mitigation and food surplus management practices respectively, indicating that there are intentions for both aspects. The findings also revealed that food waste management practices are being done by the majority as the mean score obtained ranges from 3.84 - 4.69 (high - very high agreement level). The findings highlighted that food waste is perceived as an issue and that there are intentions to tackle it. This was reflected in the practices which are being done to manage food waste and surplus. Nevertheless, it is recommended that the effectivity of food waste management practices be measured to determine the extent to which it actually aids in mitigating waste, since food waste is still a major issue in the restaurant industry.
A real-world comparison of the clinical and economic utility of OVA1 and CA125 in assessing ovarian tumor malignancy risk
Authors: Reilly Gerard P , Gregory David A , Scotti Dennis J , Lederman Samuel , Neiman Wade A , Sussman Steven , M Bean Lisa , Ekono Mercedes M
Published: May 2023

Aim:
This largest-of-its-kind study evaluated the clinical utility of CA125 and OVA1, commonly used as ovarian tumor markers for assessing the risk of malignancy. The research focused on the ability and utility of these tests to reliably predict patients at low risk for ovarian cancer. Clinical utility endpoints were 12-month maintenance of benign mass status, reduction in gynecologic oncologist referral, avoidable surgical intervention and associated cost savings.
Materials
 
& methods:
This was a multicenter retrospective review of data from electronic medical records and administrative claims databases. Patients receiving a CA125 or OVA1 test between October 2018 and September 2020 were identified and followed for 12 months using site-specific electronic medical records to assess tumor status and utilization outcomes. Propensity score adjustment was used to control for confounding variables. Payer allowed amounts from Merative MarketScan Research Databases were used to estimate 12-month episode-of-care costs per patient, including surgery and other interventions.
Results:
Among 290 low-risk OVA1 patients, 99.0% remained benign for 12 months compared with 97.2% of 181 low-risk CA125 patients. The OVA1 cohort exhibited 75% lower odds of surgical intervention in the overall sample of patients (Adjusted OR: 0.251, p ≤ 0.0001), and 63% lower odds of gynecologic oncologist utilization among premenopausal women (Adjusted OR: 0.37, p = 0.0390) versus CA125. OVA1 demonstrated significant savings in surgical interventions ($2486, p ≤ 0.0001) and total episode-of-care costs ($2621, p ≤ 0.0001) versus CA125.
Conclusion:
This study underscores the utility of a reliably predictive multivariate assay for assessing ovarian cancer risk. For patients assessed at low risk of ovarian tumor malignancy, OVA1 is associated with a significant reduction in avoidable surgeries and substantial cost savings per patient. OVA1 is also associated with a significant reduction in subspecialty referrals for low-risk premenopausal patients.

Este artigo se propõe a apresentar possíveis alternativas que contribuam para o combate à chamada encriptação do poder, que corrompe a atuação do Estado em suas três principais frentes (Legislativo, Executivo e Judiciário), sobretudo no âmbito do Direito do Trabalho. Para tanto, adota a postura de um giro hermenêutico que propicie visualização diversa do sistema do modo que o mesmo está posto, dada sua inoperabilidade, rompendo com sua alimentação endotérmica. Conclui pela necessidade de reformulação interna de cada um dos entes da tripartição, com especial atenção a ser dada para a conversão a um movimento que beneficie a sociedade e a democracia, e não a si mesmo. A pesquisa foi dividida em dois capítulos, sendo que para sua realização, a metodologia de abordagem empregada foi hipotético-dedutiva, o procedimento se deu com o uso de técnicas históricas, comparativas, estruturalistas, funcionalistas e tipológicas, interpretando-se de forma sistêmico-sociológica, tudo mediante a realização de levantamento bibliográfico e documental.
QUEENS OF HOPE AND DEVOTION
Authors: Marques Bruno , Garbaccio Grace Ladeira , Guedes Jefferson Carús
Published: May 2023

In modern societies, it is widespread to observe that women tend to be paid less than men. Academically, there are still authors like Emilie Durkheim who supported a conservative view of women's positions in society. According to them, the issue of gender discrimination could be justified by the less dedication of women to work. Their devotions would tend not to be integral like those of the men. Then, the issue of gender discrimination raises various discussions of either the cultural or values arguments. This research, however, proposes to demonstrate that any such justification for gender segregation would have no empirical evidence in the stories of queens' governments. Thus, we start from the primary studies on the theme of segregation and power to demonstrate that the authors might agree that discrimination would incorporate shared values, and which would then be reflected in further empirical cases. Consequently, through the five ethnographic and bibliographic studies, it is shown that in the short periods of history in which women have taken power, they not only have exercised it better than men but instead have exercised them greatly, which also put further segregation justifications of segregation of gender into questionable perspectives.
The Great Web 3.0 Glossary
Authors: Beutin Nikolas , Boran Daniel
Published: May 2023

Metaverse, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), Cryptocurrencies, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Service Robots etc. are a rapidly expanding field with an ever-increasing number of terms and community-specific jargon. A new term is not always accompanied by something truly novel. In addition to verbal „pseudo-innuendos“ and „crypto-slang“ introduced with the intent of attracting attention quickly, there are several significant new developments. The issue with this development is that the risk of „Babylonian language confusion“ is growing exponentially. Our observations indicate that this risk is particularly prevalent in the dialogue between science and practice. This book hopes to contribute to the clarification with quick access to all key terms. Obviously, many online marketplaces, platforms, encyclopedias, and glossaries already exist. However, our pre-book analysis has revealed that neither is even close to completion, sometimes with imprecise language and often with contradictory definitions and explanations. This glossary provides quick access for managers, students, and professors alike who are faced with the topics in their daily work. Students may keep track of the web 3.0‘s numerous terms as they study it. Instructors, teachers, and professors may use it as a guide for a consistent use of Metaverse, NFT, Cryptocurrency, and Blockchain terminology. Although, the more than 1,300 explanations of the individual terms are scientifically based, the focus is on easy understanding of the terms. The authors have made an effort to provide clear and concise definitions, an application-focused perspective, and simple language.

Beyond a Racialized Representation of Colonial Quarantine
Authors: Hok-Man Sham Desmond
Published: May 2023

In Chapter 5 Desmond Hok-Man Sham discusses the neglected site of the St John’s Island quarantine station in Singapore. Sham revisits and contests the history and memory of the island, in relation to the legacy of colonialism, analyzing how and why the ‘darker’ aspects of its past have been commemorated or obscured. In narrating the history of the former colonial quarantine facilities on Singapore’s St John’s Island, race has been unduly highlighted, according to Sham. Whereas quarantining has typically been represented as a racial practice unfairly targeting ethnic Chinese, Sham’s research highlights alternative memories of this experience, arguing that class was more significant than race in determining who was subjected to the indignity of quarantine, and of how they were treated while in quarantine.

Leveraging Mobile Phone Data for Migration Flows
Authors: Luca Massimiliano , Barlacchi Gianni , Oliver Nuria , Lepri Bruno
Published: May 2023

Statistics on migration flows are often derived from census data, which suffer from intrinsic limitations, including costs and infrequent sampling. When censuses are used, there is typically a time gap – up to a few years – between the data collection process and the computation and publication of relevant statistics. This gap is a significant drawback for the analysis of a phenomenon that is continuously and rapidly changing. Alternative data sources, such as surveys and field observations, also suffer from reliability, cost, and scale limitations. The ubiquity of mobile phones enables accurate and efficient collection of up-to-date data related to migration. Indeed, passively collected data by the mobile network infrastructure via aggregated, pseudonymised Call Detail Records (CDRs) is of great value to understand human migrations. Through the analysis of mobile phone data, we can shed light on the mobility patterns of migrants, detect spontaneous settlements and understand the daily habits, levels of integration, and human connections of such vulnerable social groups. This chapter discusses the importance of leveraging mobile phone data as an alternative data source to gather precious and previously unavailable insights on various aspects of migration. Also, we highlight pending challenges that would need to be addressed before we can effectively benefit from the availability of mobile phone data to help make better decisions that would ultimately improve millions of people’s lives.
Twitter Data for Migration Studies

Published: May 2023

Given the gaps and limitations of traditional data for migration research, social big data have been proposed to fill and complement them. Amongst various types of social media data, user-generated content from Twitter is considered a valuable resource in migration studies. As recent works have shown, Twitter can indeed be used to study various migration-related problems such as estimating migration stocks and flows, studying new migrant integration indices, evaluating cultural diversity, language mobility and social network activity. In this chapter, we provide an overview of various stages required to conduct a study on Twitter. We start with a series of recent works that employ Twitter data for migration studies. We then continue with more Technical description of the Twitter APIs and format of data. The relevant terms of service and the relation with the privacy and ethical concerns are discussed. Furthermore, we provide a description of example processing pipelines, i.e. natural language and geolocation processing. We also discuss gaps and biases of using Twitter. Overall, this chapter underlines the challenges and open issues that can be raised when using Twitter data in migration studies.
Financial Datasets: Leveraging Transactional Big Data in Mobility and Migration Studies

Published: May 2023

In the Globalised world of the 21st century, all types of human migration are a widely encountered phenomenon with many effects on individuals and societies in areas ranging from economic outcomes to social integration of migrants in the receiving regions. With the increasing availability of various big data sources, many studies aim to incorporate traditional statistical and administrative data sources for migration flows with innovative data sources. The introduction of innovative data sources enables researchers to address challenges from various definitions of migration with different scales. Our study utilises a transactional dataset of a private bank in Turkey to infer possible internal migration movements of individuals. We aim to distinguish customers who permanently settled in different cities by defining constraints on transaction patterns of individuals from a sample dataset with one year of transaction coverage. Even though the presence of limitations discussed in the study, our results demonstrate that such datasets can be employed for analysing migration patterns. Additionally, utilising transactional data also allows us to analyse the spending behaviours of individuals in their origin and destination cities. Our findings suggest that individuals in our sample tend to narrow down their spending in terms of categorical diversity and amount diversity, while they slightly increase the number of locations they visit after relocating to a new city.
Voyage Viewer: A Multivariate Visualisation Tool for Migration Analysis

Published: May 2023

The study of displaced populations is often hampered due to missing, scattered, or incomplete data. Thus, making it harder for researchers, NGOs, policymakers, and migrants to understand the processes of migration and make informed decisions. Recent advances in computational methods and the availability of large-scale datasets provide effective alternatives to analyse, synthesise, and map the mechanics of migrants and displaced populations in a more cost-effective way. However, the study of how humans move around the world remains fragmented across borderlines and limited to specific times in a migrant’s journey, thus unable to provide a complete picture of the migration process. An important step towards realising this goal is to develop tools to combine public data and create visual representations to inform, make decisions and communicate about this highly complex phenomenon. In this chapter, we introduce a new multivariate visualisation tool to advance our understanding of the process of migration, the journeys, and challenges endured by migrants, refugees, and the displaced. The tool, called Voyage Viewer, is a first-of-its-kind open online tool that combines the power of novel and traditional data sources to create a more integral picture of how humans move around the world. By pairing novel data sources with a battery of conventional datasets, Voyage Viewer hopes to revolutionise how we understand, and most importantly, the way we can tackle humanitarian crises caused by forced displacement.
Issues about Analysing Multilingual Communication in Immigrant Contexts
Authors: Doğruöz A. Seza
Published: May 2023

Multilingual communication is frequently observed in immigrant communities due to contact between and across languages. Linguistic aspects of multilingual communication and the sociolinguistic factors that influence multilingual language use across participants and contexts have been widely studied albeit mostly through spoken and relatively small size data sets. Increasing availability of Internet based services and social media platforms make it convenient to collect publicly available and large-scale textual data for multilingual communication. In addition, availability of computational tools makes digital data attractive for research purposes. However, there are challenges and pitfalls for data scientists to be aware of while collecting and analysing multilingual data in immigrant settings. The goal of this chapter is to inform the reader about issues around multilingualism in immigrant contexts through introducing research questions, data sets and methods of analyses across academic fields (e.g. sociolinguistics and computational areas of research) and highlight the challenges and opportunities for future research.
Eight Theses on Migration Studies and Big Data
Authors: Korkmaz Emre Eren
Published: May 2023

In recent years, there is a growing interest in academia using big data analysis to evaluate the mobility and integration of migrants and refugees. Many data scientists and migration scholars analyse the data stored and shared by social media platforms or mobile phone operators to examine and predict the issues related to migration. Most of the literature also argues that the analysis of these datasets would benefit migrants and refugees. This paper aims to examine the main points to demonstrate the challenges of analysing big data to research migrants and refugees and provide a guideline for young scholars how to deal with big data in studying migratory movements. This paper defends that refugees and migrants should be at the centre of the big data analysis. The surveillance of states and global corporations should be revealed and in addition to what big data analysis suggests, remaining issues should also be addressed through qualitative and “traditional” ways of data collection.
On the Usability of the Concept of ‘Sovereignty’ for the Ancient World
Authors: Lundgreen Christoph
Published: May 2023

By focusing both on the various historical variants of sovereignty as well as its different systematic aspects, it is argued that there is no such thing as the one true concept of sovereignty, neither for our contemporary word nor to be applied to or rejected for the ancient word. Henceforth, three aspects are discussed: the external sovereignty of entities, the internal sovereignty of political institutions and, finally, the different relationships between governance-actors. Within every aspect, different facets of the term sovereignty are explored with reference to both Greek and Roman history. The aim is not, however, to simply argue for the applicability of the term, but to show the respective fruitful use of each aspect, which can highlight otherwise overlooked aspects in the ancient world or emphasise differences that can then be further explored.
Between Sovereignty and Non-Sovereignty: The maiestas populi Romani and Foundational Authority in the Roman Republic
Authors: Hammer Dean
Published: May 2023

This essay modifies how we understand the operation of sovereignty in discussions of the Roman Republic. I step outside the dichotomy of sovereignty/non-sovereignty, arguing for a notion of foundational authority that bears some similarities to, but is not identical with, sovereignty. I locate that authority in the maiestas populi Romani. The maiestas populi Romani combines law with reverence in a fictional entity that derives from the power of the people (in their sheer numbers), but whose existence is abstracted from any particular assembly of the people. The maiestas populi Romani, as a form of foundational authority, is not an institution, a legal formulation, or a person. Rather, foundational authority emerges as a discursive framework within which the collectivity is imagined, laws and institutions created, political obligations defined, decisions made and actions justified, and from which there is no appeal.
Thinking with Sovereignty in Australia
Authors: Cruickshank Joanna , Evans Julie , Genovese Ann , Mckinnon Crystal , McVeigh Shaun
Published: May 2023

In Australia, those who talk of non-Indigenous sovereignty must offer accounts of Indigenous and non-Indigenous sovereignties and relations between them. In this chapter, we address these concerns through the histories and jurisprudence of rulership, relationship and responsibility, and through a number of historic and contemporary examples. Our purpose in doing so is to describe some practices of sovereignty that shape thinking with sovereignty in Australia. Describing these practices matters because the continual disavowal of Indigenous sovereignty by the Australian state is oppressive and limits the understanding of what it means to take responsibility for the relations between peoples and laws.
