Trauma and Psychic Growth of the Self in Susan Abulhawa's Mornings in Jenin
Authors: Hussein Ulfat W.
Published: March 2024

This study delves deep into the traumatic experience that almost all Palestinians have fallen prey to since the day Israel declared statehood in 1948 and how such tragic life characterized their psychic growth of the self and identity. It considers Susan Abulhawa's Mornings in Jenin in the light of two psychological notions, that is, Freud's ''the unconscious'' and McAdams's and Cox's ''narrative identity.'' Throughout the novel, Abulhawa unearths the unusual and less known depths in Palestinian history in an attempt to provide new versions of fictional writings. The novel dramatizes the Palestinian characters' inner world, their trauma and their repressed feelings and desires. The repeated incursion of trauma is considered harmful, giving rise to the characters' downfall and being the reason behind their tragedies. The study has shown that the world of the unconscious is clearly represented in the characters' attitudes, behaviors and feelings. It elucidates that some characters succeed in working through their traumas and the dynamics of the unconscious while the others are rendered to be psychologically traumatized. Furthermore, to serve a self-understanding function, Palestinians rely on the strategy of storytelling. Such strategy is used as an empowering device by which Palestinians write their past and guarantee their self-existence. It can also be therapeutic that they use it as a remedy against the displacement and alienation they experience in their permanent exile.

O mistério da febre puerperal: sequência didática para o ensino sobre natureza da ciência
Authors: Christianini Gabriella Ribeiro , Antunes Fabiano
Published: February 2024

O produto educacional “O Mistério da Febre Puerperal” é uma sequência didática voltada para professores da educação básica e tem como objetivo auxiliá-los no ensino sobre a natureza da ciência por meio de uma narrativa histórica. A pesquisa que originou este produto foi realizada de forma online, em momentos síncronos e assíncronos, com duas turmas de 9º ano do ensino fundamental de uma escola pública no interior do estado de Mato Grosso do Sul. O fundamento desta pesquisa está no pressuposto de que a melhor maneira para ensinar sobre como o conhecimento científico é produzido, é utilizar a história da produção desse conhecimento. Isto porque a história da ciência apresenta o cientista em seu contexto cultural, social, econômico e político, possibilitando discussões sobre esses aspectos que influenciam direta ou indiretamente o trabalho científico. Além disso, é uma forma de contextualizar o tema de estudo. Os dados colhidos através dos momentos de discussão online entre alunos e professora e das atividades escritas entregues pelos alunos via plataforma Google Classroom, foram analisados pelo prisma da teoria da Aprendizagem Significativa. Foi observado que a sequência didática proposta possibilitou aos alunos construir concepções adequadas sobre a natureza da ciência e pode ser utilizada em outros contextos de ensino, de modo a fornecer mais informações sobre seu impacto na aprendizagem dos alunos, bem como direcionar quais pontos podem ser ajustados.
Análises preliminares do uso do material didático: “É mato, planta ou comida?”
Authors: Landinho Flávia Martho , Franzolin Fernanda
Published: February 2024

Apesar do Brasil possuir uma rica diversidade florística que pode ser utilizada na alimentação, medicina, vestimenta, fabricação de móveis e outras, ainda existe uma sub-representação da flora nas escolas. Isso contribui para o fenômeno da Disparidade na Percepção das Plantas que consiste no desinteresse e na ausência de atitudes em prol das plantas. Tendo em vista esse desprezo com as plantas, foi elaborado um material didático intitulado “É mato, planta ou comida?” que visa fomentar a valorização de espécies da biodiversidade brasileira e seu uso na alimentação. Para a elaboração do material didático, foram utilizados referenciais teóricos relacionados à transposição didática. A produção incorporou a abordagem de elementos da Natureza da Ciências, o enfoque evolutivo e propostas de atividades investigativas. Esse material foi utilizado por quatro professores de Ciências da Região Metropolitana da Baixada Santista do estado de São Paulo e 45 estudantes dos Anos Finais do Ensino Fundamental responderam a um questionário fechado em escala tipo Likert avaliando o material didático. Mais da metade dos estudantes acharam o material didático interessante e 59% afirmaram que o material contribuiu para o desenvolvimento do pensamento crítico. A eficácia na utilização do material didático depende da forma como o professor utiliza o material, pois os quatro professores eram livres para utilizarem da maneira que desejassem. Espera-se que o material contribua para o desenvolvimento de conhecimentos e atitudes pró-ambientais para a conservação e preservação de espécies consideradas não carismáticas, como as plantas.

Giro Cultural: conhecendo o nosso patrimônio
Authors: Dutra de Brito Max , De Alencar Machado Albuquerque Fernanda
Published: February 2024

O município de Diamantina/MG recebeu, em 1999, o título de Patrimônio Cultural da Humanidade devido à sua riqueza histórica, cultural e natural. A cidade surgiu a partir do descobrimento das jazidas minerais pelos bandeirantes e, mesmo após o declínio da mineração do diamante, manteve-se com o apuro de uma vida social refinada por bons costumes advindos pelo gosto ao teatro, pela arte, também expressos na arquitetura e na música. Além da sua diversidade cultural existe ainda uma exuberância natural que se espalha pela região através dos rios, cachoeiras, grutas e fontes de águas termais. E nesse contexto, está inserida a Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri-UFVJM, criada inicialmente por Juscelino Kubitschek com a Faculdade de Odontologia de Diamantina-FAOD. Sendo assim, devido ao fato de uma significativa parcela dos alunos ingressantes não residir no município, percebeu-se a necessidade de apresentar a cidade e sua história, através de uma visita guiada, oportunizando o conhecimento e, consequentemente, o respeito a esse patrimônio cultural e natural. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho tem a finalidade de proporcionar ao aluno ingressante na Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri-UFVJM, em Diamantina/MG, o conhecimento sobre a história e o patrimônio da cidade através de um tour cultural no centro histórico, por meio de um projeto de extensão em parceria com a pró-reitoria. A forma metodológica decorre da revisão de literatura e documental sobre patrimônio, educação patrimonial e temas afins, como também de uma pesquisa quali-quantitativa através da aplicação de um questionário semiaberto com o objetivo de acompanhar a evolução com relação à participação e interesse dos alunos e de compreender a satisfação e a efetividade do projeto.  Dessa forma, o estudo sugere a necessidade de apresentar o projeto de extensão “Giro cultural: conhecendo o nosso patrimônio” através da história de Diamantina e do conhecimento de seus principais atrativos turísticos, bem como a infraestrutura da cidade no que se refere aos hospitais, postos de saúde, serviços públicos dentre outros que possam ser de necessidade e interesse do aluno, além de promover a integração da comunidade estudantil e dos calouros aliando ações de acolhimento e socialização. Por fim, percebe-se a efetividade da ação, tendo em vista o resultado positivo das avaliações quanto à iniciativa da proposta e a satisfação dos participantes pelo conhecimento adquirido através do tour cultural.

Asylum-Seekers’ Right to Free Movement
Authors: Bast Jürgen
Published: February 2024

Restricting the freedom of movement of unwanted asylum seekers is the conceptual core of the CEAS reform package politically agreed upon by the EU’s legislative institutions in December 2023. Large groups of the people seeking international protection in the EU will be subject to so-called border procedures. Their claims will be processed while being ‘kept at or in proximity to the external border or transit zones’ (Commission proposal) in order to prevent their onward movement and to facilitate ensuing deportations. Introducing such confinement measures will be mandatory for all Member States, provided that an asylum seeker meets certain criteria, in particular a low rate of success of earlier protection claims made by his or her fellow nationals, calculated on an EU-wide average. Why did we fail to make asylum-seekers’ right to free movement relevant in context of the CEAS reform?

Bag-Based Feature-Class Correlation Analysis for Multi-Instance Learning Application
Authors: Berahim Mazniha , Samsudin Noor Azah , Mustapha Aida , Mohd Salleh Rohayu , Mohd Nasir Muhammad Jaffri
Published: March 2024

Multi-instance Learning (MIL) is widely applied in image classification. In MIL, an image is presented as a bag. A bag consists of multi-instance which is known as patches. Irrelevant features of the image presented to the classifier affects the classification performance. Feature selection is one of the essential phases to select relevant. However, limited studies discuss the feature selection phase in MIL. Correlation between feature-class (FC) relationship is one important criterion to analyse features’ relevance. However, it cannot be performed directly in MIL. To address this gap, this study proposed the MultiBag-FCCorr feature selection technique. It consists of three steps: transformation, evaluation and fusion. The bags of feature information are acquired from summarization from different statistical central tendency measures of trimmed mean, mode and median. In feature evaluation step, extended point biserial correlation has been used to measure FC correlation and then the FC score has been analysed. The selected features are validated via two prominent classifiers (Support Vector Machine (SVM) and K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN)) on benchmark MI image datasets: UCSB Breast Cancer, Tiger, Elephant and Fox datasets. The selected features of UCSB Breast Cancer dataset were reduced to 92% number of features from the proposed technique giving the best result of average accuracy with 86.8.% using SVM and 84.5% using KNN. The average accuracy improved 6.3% using SVM and 16.4% using KNN compared without implementing the proposed feature selection. The results proved that the selected feature set improved the performance of MI image classification.

Decentralization as a Basis for Modernisation of Public Administration: European Experience for Ukraine
Authors: Pukhkal Oleksandr , Karlova Valentyna , Reiterovych Ihor , Sytnyk Svitlana , Tyutyunnik Ivan
Published: March 2024

Ensuring the development of Ukraine as a sovereign and independent, democratic, social, and legal state at the present stage requires, first of all, the establishment of an effective domestic system of public administration. The purpose of the paper is to analyse the modernisation of public administration in European countries. The analysis revealed the specific features of modernisation of public administration at the regional level, typical of the unitary countries of the European Union, close to Ukraine in terms of territorial, demographic, administrative-territorial structure, and other criteria. In particular, the authors explored the features of public administration reforms in France and Poland. Also, steps were identified to intensify modernisation of public administration at the regional level in Ukraine under decentralisation in the context of the experience of European countries. Upon substantiating the results of the study, authors concluded that the adaptation of modernisation of the European experience should take the obvious shortcomings into consideration so as not to exacerbate the problems of relations between different levels of public authority in the regions of Ukraine, which are already familiar to Ukrainian realities.

Published: March 2024

The study analyses the key parameters of the population of small rural settlements of the Zakarpatska Oblast amidst economic transformation. Small settlements are described by low population density, which in some rural settlements is three times lower than the regional average. Over the last period there has been a tendency to increase the number of small rural settlements with a population of less than 150 people. Depopulation of villages creates conditions when it is unprofitable to maintain educational, healthcare, cultural institutions, etc. The current situation leads to the destruction of the infrastructure of the village, which is already in decline. The purpose of the study is to analyse the socio-economic development of small rural settlements in the region amidst decentralization. The main attention is paid to the study of problems that describe the quality of life of the rural population â€“ analysis of the main trends of demographic reproduction, the development and effectiveness of new legal forms of management in rural areas amidst the intensifying market relations. The sectoral structure of the economy of rural settlements is analysed, the study substantiates the offers directed on integration of small rural commodity producers in the integrated agro-industrial structures, development of the rural industry, establishment of cooperative movement in the village. The level of satisfaction of the rural population with the main objects of social infrastructure is investigated on the materials of sociological monitoring of the rural population.

Two Left Shoes
Authors: Heston Thomas F.
Published: February 2024

In retrospect, it’s not surprising that I experienced homelessness during one winter as a college student. The winter of 1983 in Seattle was typical: cold, cloudy, and wet. Peanut butter was my primary food. I had a small camping stove for coffee but lacked any other means of heat. Gasworks Park was my main source of drinking water. But my story is not unusual; it is regrettably far too common. After all, on any single night in the U.S., about 1 in 500 individuals, representing a diverse cross-section of the population, find themselves without housing (1). Among college students, estimates indicate that about 5% to 10% will experience homelessness at some point during their academic journey (2,3). Although many temporary couch surf with friends, a significant proportion, like myself, end up sleeping outdoors or urban camping (4). Globally, hundreds of millions of people have inadequate shelter every night. The hard reality is that individuals of all ages and backgrounds, including children, students, adults, and seniors, have either already confronted or will confront housing insecurity and homelessness.

In the era of digital transformation driven by disruptive technologies, organizations are striving to overcome challenges and enhance customer value through innovative solutions across all business domains. Artificial intelligence (AI) stands out as a pivotal technology expected to significantly influence marketing strategies in the foreseeable future. This paper examines the anticipated role of AI solutions in marketing decision-making across the five stages of the marketing process. Through a systematic review of research articles published from 2020 to 2022, this study identifies and categorizes AI applications in marketing. The applications are then aligned with the five stages of the marketing process: analysis, strategy development, tactical implementation, customer relations management, and value proposition creation. The analysis reveals that current AI applications predominantly focus on understanding and predicting customer behavior in the initial analysis stage and on executing tactical marketing initiatives. The paper concludes with actionable insights for marketing practitioners and suggestions for future research directions.

Alzheimer's disease (AD), a debilitating neurodegenerative condition, is characterized by progressive cognitive decline brought about by the deposition of amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques in the brain initiates downstream neuronal dysfunction and death in AD pathogenesis. The β-secretase (BACE-1) enzyme plays a crucial role in generating Aβ from amyloid precursor protein (APP). Hence, we report the virtual screening of marine phytochemicals as BACE-1 inhibitors. 2583 compounds, retrieved from Comprehensive Marine Natural Product Database (CMNPD), were primarily screened for drug-likeliness and blood-brain barrier permeability using admetSAR 2.0 and in-house BBBper tool and resulted in a total of 635 phytochemicals, selected for further docking studies using BACE-1 as target receptor and Atabecestat as standard BACE-1 inhibitor. Seven of 635 compounds docked against BACE-1, showed better binding affinities than Atabecestat, with the red algal metabolite lactodehydrothyrsiferol showing lowest binding energy of -10.83 kcal/mol. These compounds are worth investigating further to assess their neuroprotective efficacy and pharmacokinetic properties. The study also provides a rational framework to uncover novel pharmacophores from marine sources for AD therapy acting through BACE-1 inhibition.

Vivências solidárias na busca pela terra. Irmãs Missionárias Scalabrinianas junto aos migrantes sem-terra.
Authors: Coutinho Sergio , LUSSI CARMEM
Published: February 2024

Por cerca de 50 anos, desde 1971, as Irmãs Missionárias Scalabrinianas (MSCS) participaram diretamente na luta por vida, pão e dignidade junto aos migrantes sem-terra, em 11 estados do Brasil. Memórias daquela atuação missionária da Irmãs MSCS estão sendo publicadas agora no livro Vivências solidárias na busca pela terra. Irmãs Missionárias Scalabrinianas junto aos migrantes sem-terra. A Obra foi organizada pelo Centro Scalabriniano de Estudos Migratórios – CSEM, com participação de dezenas de Irmãs que atuaram junto a trabalhadoras e trabalhadores sem-terra, em contexto urbano, como foi nas periferias de Goiânia – GO ou em Cariacica, ES, por exemplo; ou em contexto rural, em Goiás, no Rio Grande do Sul, no Mato Grosso do Sul, entre outros estados. Com a assessoria da teóloga Carmem Lussi e do historiador Sergio Coutinho, centenas de páginas de narrativas da atuação das Irmãs MSCS foram organizadas nessa publicação que, além de resgatar o significado daquelas vivências, reforça a comunhão e solidariedade pela causa da vida com dignidade para todos e todas, com ênfase na busca por terra, com justiça e dignidade, no Brasil.

To show the importance of plant-microbe association in stressed tropical landscapes, the study evaluated the physicochemical characteristics and indigenous arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) spore density in selected vegetation patches of marginal upland soils in Central Philippines. Five quadrats were used in the study, namely Andropogon aciculatus (control plot), Imperata cylindrica, Chromolaena odorata, Melastoma malabathricum and mixed vegetation patch. Results showed that soils in the studied vegetation patches had different physicochemical characteristics and AMF spore density. Although all patches had clay soil texture and comparable water-holding capacity, mixed vegetation patch had moderate compaction (1.33 g cm-3) and higher porosity (50.31%) compared with the other patches, which had extreme compaction (1.37-1.65 g cm-3) and lower porosity (37.74-48.76%). In terms of chemical properties, soils in different patches had moderate (5.69) to strongly acidic pH (5.13), moderate organic matter (2.69-2.91%) levels, low P (2.67-3.94 ppm) content and above critical K levels (0.2-1.2 cmol+ kg-1). Results also revealed that C. odorata patch had the highest spore density count (11.33 spores 100 g-1), followed by mixed vegetation (9 spores 100 g-1), M. malabathricum (8.33 spores 100 g-1), and A. aciculatus patch having the lowest spore density count (4 spores 100 g-1). The significant spore density variability was attributed to the differences in soil’s physicochemical characteristics among the different vegetation patches and AMF host specificity. Spores detection, therefore, indicated AMF presence and helped the adaptation mechanism of the natural vegetation in this degraded upland.
