Conveniências contingenciais: a antecipação como prática temporal dos inspetores do SEF na fronteira aeroportuária portuguesa
Authors: Carapeto Mafalda
Published: October 2024

Este artigo surge no seguimento do trabalho etnográfico realizado num aeroporto em Portugal, onde de junho de 2021 a abril de 2022 acompanhei nos vários grupos e turnos o quotidiano dos inspetores do Serviço de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras (SEF). A intenção está em analisar, através da lente da temporalidade, como a antecipação pode ser duplamente entendida como uma prática temporal aquando da gestão dos passageiros: por um lado, é produzida através de conveniências contigenciais de ordem logística, organizacional e pessoal, e por outro produz diferentes velocidades de acesso ao território nacional (TN). No decurso da mobilização destas duas dimensões temporais os inspetores reorganizam quadros espaciais e situacionais, complicando ideias de ação e não ação aquando do seu encontro com os sujeitos em mobilidade.
Etnografía desantrópica: entre relatos apócrifos del agua, profundas dicotomías y habitares líquidos
Authors: Vázquez Estrada Alejandro , Fernández Eva
Published: October 2024

En este texto abordamos la posibilidad de deconstruir las relaciones – que tienen al agua como un recurso a disposición de los humanos – que han ordenado algunas dicotomías como la de anthropos-naturaleza estableciendo que existen metodologías, teorías y visiones de mundo que rigen la vida antropocéntrica y que se encuentran agotadas. Nuestro objetivo es iluminar esas posibilidades que tiene pensar y sentir el agua desde un enfoque no centrado en el hombre como su gestor y propietario. Desde esta perspectiva, visualizamos la obra de dos artistas: Acoustic Ocean (Ursula Biemann 2018) y To Stop Being a Threat and to Become a Promise (Carolina Caycedo 2017) – que promueven discursos de consciencia y afecto otro – y realizamos una etnografía en clave desantrópica como una fuerza vital para establecer nuevas condiciones a partir de otros modos de relación entre los humanos, las especies no humanas, las tecnologías y los entes inmateriales que co-habitan en el planeta.
A Antropologia da Arte, a Antropologia – história, dilemas, possibilidades
Authors: Verde Filipe
Published: October 2024

Neste ensaio procuro primeiro identificar as razões do lugar marginal que a arte desde sempre ocupou no pensamento antropológico, sugerindo que elas são a influência da conceção estética de arte e da metafísica que suportou o projeto das ciências sociais e fez supor que a reflexão sobre arte deve ser mediada por dispositivos de natureza teórica. Tomando como guia a tradição fenomenológica e o ensaio seminal de Heidegger A Origem da Obra de Arte, que devolvem à compreensão da obra de arte a sua função de fundar e articular as coordenadas metafísicas que fundam uma comunidade e guiam o seu devir histórico, defendo que o olhar antropológico sobre arte deve focar a sua potencialidade ontológica. Argumento, por fim, que essa é a via pela qual a antropologia pode apreender a dimensão generativa do que chamamos sociedade e cultura, trazendo as “grandes obras” que as sociedades do mundo produziram e produzem para uma relação dialógica caracterizada pela reciprocidade interpretativa que se estabelece entre elas, os seus autores e os seus intérpretes.
Ways of Aesthetically Integrating Conservation Theory in an Era of Neoliberal Illusions and Post-Colonial Migration
Authors: Schinzel Hiltrud
Published: October 2024

Cet essai examine la question fondamentale de la conservation-restauration : pour qui et pourquoi conservons-nous l'art ? Les motivations derrière la conservation du patrimoine culturel évoluent au fil du temps, influencées par les contextes socioculturels plus que par les théories établies. Le concept de "care" (soin) est exploré comme une approche potentielle pour recentrer la conservation sur les bénéficiaires culturels et leurs besoins changeants, tout en tenant compte des dimensions matérielles et idéelles des œuvres.L'article retrace l'impact historique de l'industrialisation au XIXe siècle, qui a démocratisé l'accès à l'art et transformé les pratiques de conservation, mais a aussi entraîné une marchandisation accrue. Cette commercialisation a modifié la relation entre l'art, ses créateurs et son public, dévalorisant les biens culturels en les réduisant à des objets de marché.Les collectionneurs modernes, souvent détachés de l'engagement profond autrefois requis, ont transféré la responsabilité de la conservation aux institutions publiques, affaiblissant ainsi la responsabilité collective pour la préservation du patrimoine. En réponse à cette évolution, l'auteur plaide en faveur d’une réévaluation des pratiques de conservation, en insistant sur l'importance de rétablir un lien éthique et esthétique avec les œuvres d'art. Cela permettrait de garantir la transmission des œuvres non seulement comme des objets de valeur marchande, mais comme un patrimoine vivant, chargé de significations culturelles et sociales, dans un contexte de plus en plus dominé par les logiques de marché.
The challenges of preserving and managing sulphur-containing plaster casts
Authors: Cremers Nand
Published: October 2024

This article discusses the significance of certain replicas in museums, focusing on medieval seal impressions from the ‘Hallepoort’ collection at the Royal Military Museum in Brussels, Belgium. We highlight a shift from traditional imprinting methods to casting with plaster and sulphur in the late 19th and early 20th centuries An analysis by the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage confirmed sulphur’s presence, highlighting conservation challenges due to its flammability and potential to cause chemical reactions that could damage surrounding objects. In response, measures such as fire safety protocols, controlled temperature and humidity, and better ventilation are implemented to protect the casts.
The Word become Flesh. Wild orality and “palliative” conservation for the Mexican performative arts
Authors: Salinas Juan Gerardo Ugalde
Published: October 2024

Depuis le début du vingtième siècle, le contexte politique et social du Mexique a influencé un ensemble d'œuvres d'art performatif riches en connotations activistes, pleines d'humour noir et de références à la violence et à l'injustice environnantes. Comment nous, conservateurs, nous trouvons-nous impliqués dans ces dynamiques qui impliquent la créativité et la sensibilité face au hasard de la mémoire collective ? Ce texte revisite quelques considérations sur le traitement et la conservation de ces œuvres très spécifiques, décantées dans les mouvements d'autonomie artistique latino-américains, et qui, dans un consensus entre spécialistes et artistes, peuvent trouver dans l'oralité et la disparition « assistée » une chance d'assurer leur pérennité.
Faut-il en finir avec la Charte de Venise ?
Authors: Houbart Claudine
Published: October 2024

Chacun des anniversaires de la Charte de Venise (1964) donne lieu à de nombreux événements à travers le monde. Pourtant, la plupart des enjeux qui animent actuellement le monde global du patrimoine sont absents du document, rédigé dans un contexte très différent du nôtre. Cet article propose une réflexion sur les raisons de l’attachement persistant à cette charte aux ambitions généralistes et universalistes, à une époque où il est attendu qu’une approche holistique du patrimoine naisse de savoirs fragmentés. Après avoir examiné le moment très particulier de la rédaction du document, le texte se penche sur les aléas de son application dans un contexte en prise à l’extension du champ du patrimoine et à la mondialisation croissante des débats. Il conclut sur le rôle de repère que peut encore jouer le document, et des perspectives concrètes de réflexion constructive.
AN APPROACH FOR LUNG CANCER DETECTION AND CLASSIFICATION USING LENET-DENSENET
Authors: Mathew Ann , Grace K. S. Vijula , Preetha M. Mary Synthuja Jain
Published: October 2024

Lung cancer is a malicious disorder that affects millions of people around the globe. Premature detection and classification of malignant cells can gradually improve the rate of survival of the patients. The study proposed an innovative strategy for lung cancer identification and classification by utilizing the hybrid deep learning (DL) technique. The presented strategy contains two major parts, segmentation and classification. Attention gated (AG) network is used for segmenting the affected regions. AGs guide a method’s attention to significant regions while repressing the activation of features in non-related fields. This augments the model’s representative influence without significantly increasing computing cost or the number of model parameters. For the lung cancer classification, by combining the architectures of LeNet and Dense Convolutional Network (DenseNet), the proposed LeNet–DenseNet was developed. LeNet and DenseNet are two popular CNN architectures known for the classification of images. LeNet comprises alternating and convolutional layers, followed by fully connected layers. As per the idea of densely connected layers, each layer in DenseNet, which is a recent CNN architecture, is associated with other layers in a feed-forward fashion. This allows for better feature reuse and gradient flow and lessens the parameter count. The findings stated that the proposed method outperforms when compared to other traditional strategies corresponding to specificity, sensitivity and accuracy. The presented approach assists in early-stage detection of high-accuracy lung cancer, which is considered crucial for the treatment procedures in time. The findings stipulated that the presented LeNet–DenseNet model procured accuracy of 94.8%, sensitivity of 96.8% and specificity of 93.5%.

Authors: Elghazali Oumaima , Kirat El Allame Yamina El
Published: October 2024

Self-awareness is critical to personal growth because it influences the individuals' apprehension of their preferences, traits, and emotions. The current study investigated intrapersonal self-awareness (ISA) components among 96 students from ENS at Mohammed V University in Rabat, Morocco. It examined the students' beliefs and values, internal mental state, personality and preferences, and motivation. The study adopted a qualitative approach to determine the factors impacting the students' self-awareness and suggest strategies for their enhancement. It relied on focus group discussions and instructor observation to collect data. The IPA method was used to deduce the participants' learning from lived experiences. The findings highlighted the absence of internal mental state and motivation components in the participants. It also revealed the factors impeding students' internal mental state such as collectivism, vulnerability, and cultural beliefs. The study further suggested practical activities to enhance students' intrapersonal Self-awareness inside and outside the classroom.

Published: October 2024

The objective of this study was to investigate the mental disturbances among COVID-19 survivors while also examining their quality of life. A retrospective cohort study was conducted among COVID-19 survivors in northern Vietnam. Anxiety, depression, insomnia, cognitive impairment, and quality of life were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Mini-Cog, and Short Form-8 (SF-8), respectively. Information regarding COVID and post-COVID conditions was retrospectively collected through direct interviews. Ordinal logistic regression was employed to identify factors associated with the severity of depression and anxiety; binary logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with the presence of sleep disturbance and cognitive impairment, and linear regression was utilized to identify factors associated with the mental and physical components of the SF-8. A total of 1596 participants were included in this study, with the prevalence of depression, anxiety, sleep disturbance, and cognitive impairment being 8.7%, 16.9%, 23.4%, and 5.6%, respectively. Experiencing discrimination during COVID-19 infection and post-COVID syndrome were both linked to long-term outcomes of depression, anxiety, and insomnia and were also related to a decline in the quality of life. Our study provided initial insights into the mental outcomes and quality of life among COVID-19 survivors over an extended period, with stigmatization and post-COVID syndrome identified as the primary associated factors. A longitudinal study with random sampling, a control group, and measures to better control recall bias is recommended.

Published: October 2024

Background: The association of changes in metabolic syndrome (MetS) with cognitive function remains unclear. We explored this association using prospective and Mendelian randomization (MR) studies.Methods: MetS components including high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), systolic blood pressure (SBP), waist circumference (WC), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and triglycerides were measured at baseline and two follow-ups, constructing a MetS index. Immediate, delayed memory recall, and cognitive function along with its dimensions were assessed by immediate 10- word recall test (IWRT) and delayed 10-word recall test (DWRT), and mini-mental state examination (MMSE), respectively, at baseline and follow-ups. Linear mixed-effect model was used. Additionally, the genome-wide association study (GWAS) of MetS was conducted and one-sample MR was performed to assess the causality between MetS and cognitive function.Results: Elevated MetS index was associated with decreasing annual change rates (decrease) in DWRT and MMSE scores, and with decreases in attention, calculation and recall dimensions. HDL-C was positively associated with an increase in DWRT scores, while SBP and FPG were negatively associated. HDL-C showed a positive association, whereas WC was negatively associated with increases in MMSE scores, including attention, calculation and recall dimensions. Interaction analysis indicated that the association of MetS index on cognitive decline was predominantly observed in low family income group. The GWAS of MetS identified some genetic variants. MR results showed a non-significant causality between MetS and decrease in DWRT, IWRT, nor MMSE scores.Conclusion: Our study indicated a significant association of MetS and its components with declines in memory and cognitive function, especially in delayed memory recall.

Published: October 2024

Background: There is limited data on diagnoses during hospital stay among children living with HIV(CLHIV) in the antiretroviral and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) era.Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe hospital diagnoses and clinical characteristics of CLHIV before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.Method: A retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study was performed. Clinical and laboratory data were retrieved by reviewing folders and discharge summaries from January 2019 to December 2021. Period A (pre-COVID-19) was defined as the period from January 2019 to March 2020. Period B (During COVID-19) was defined as being from April 2020 to December 2021.Results: Ninety-six children contributed 215 diagnoses over the study period. The five most common diagnoses were unspecified HIV disease (47/215, 21.9%), tuberculosis (TB) (42/215, 19.5%), pneumonia (13/215, 6.0%), encephalopathy (11/215, 5.1%) and malnutrition (11/215, 5.1%). Median CD4 count was 377 cells/mm (IQR 126, 726) and 8.0% of the children were virally suppressed. Ninety-five per cent of the children had WHO Stage 3 and 4 (95%) disease and 12.5% of children required ICU admission. No child was diagnosed with COVID-19 despite universal screening. Moreover, 81.7% of the children had a social worker referral documented.Conclusion: Advanced HIV disease (AHD) remains prevalent with TB being the most common diagnosis. There were no cases of COVID-19 recorded in CLHIV.Contribution: The findings provide a description of the diagnoses of CLHIV in the South African setting prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic. It highlights the need for more specific documentation of diagnoses to inform better prevention of AHD in children.

NEST‐C: A deep learning compiler framework for heterogeneous computing systems with artificial intelligence accelerators
Authors: Park Jeman , Yu Misun , Kwon Jinse , Park Junmo , Lee Jemin , Kwon Yongin
Published: October 2024

Deep learning (DL) has significantly advanced artificial intelligence (AI); however, frameworks such as PyTorch, ONNX, and TensorFlow are optimized for general‐purpose GPUs, leading to inefficiencies on specialized accelerators such as neural processing units (NPUs) and processing‐in‐memory (PIM) devices. These accelerators are designed to optimize both throughput and energy efficiency but they require more tailored optimizations. To address these limitations, we propose the NEST compiler (NEST‐C), a novel DL framework that improves the deployment and performance of models across various AI accelerators. NEST‐C leverages profiling‐based quantization, dynamic graph partitioning, and multi‐level intermediate representation (IR) integration for efficient execution on diverse hardware platforms. Our results show that NEST‐C significantly enhances computational efficiency and adaptability across various AI accelerators, achieving higher throughput, lower latency, improved resource utilization, and greater model portability. These benefits contribute to more efficient DL model deployment in modern AI applications.

Published: October 2024

Malaria in pregnancy increases maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Indoor residual spraying (IRS) is a core vector control strategy used to reduce transmission in endemic areas; however, its efficacy in reducing the sequelae of malaria in pregnancy is not well described. PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science were searched for all studies assessing IRS exposure during pregnancy. Abstracts and full texts were reviewed independently by two researchers, with discrepancies adjudicated by a third. Of 3,319 studies that met the search criteria, 17 met the inclusion criteria. Thirteen studies reported on the effect of IRS on malaria endpoints during pregnancy, five on birth outcomes, and one on a fetal anomaly. Twelve of the 13 studies exploring maternal malaria and 3 of 3 studies reporting on placental malaria demonstrated a reduction among those exposed to IRS during pregnancy. Results were more mixed for obstetric outcomes. Two of the best-quality studies showed reductions in preterm birth, low birthweight, and fetal/neonatal mortality; a third high-quality study did not demonstrate a reduction in perinatal mortality but did not evaluate preterm birth. One study found a significantly increased risk of preterm birth in those exposed to IRS, although the study was of lower quality. A final study demonstrated a small, although statistically significant, association between IRS and male urogenital birth defects. In malaria-endemic areas, the published literature suggests that IRS during pregnancy reduces the incidence of malaria parasitemia. However, without high-quality prospective studies directly examining IRS in pregnancy, the impact on birth outcomes is less clear.
Impurity Parallel Velocity Gradient instability
Authors: Bourgeois Jeanne , Lesur Maxime , Lazaro Guillermo Cuerva , Kosuga Yusuke
Published: October 2024

In magnetized plasmas, a radial gradient of parallel velocity, where parallel
refers to the direction of magnetic field, can destabilise an electrostatic
mode called Parallel Velocity Gradient (PVG). The theory of PVG has been mainly
developed assuming a single species of ions. Here, the role of impurities is
investigated based on a linear, local analysis, in a homogeneous, constant
magnetic field. To further simplify the analysis, the plasma is assumed to
contain only two ion species - main ions and one impurity species - while our
methodology can be straightforwardly extended to more species. In the cold-ion
limit, retaining polarization drift for both main ions and impurity ions, and
assuming Boltzmann electrons, the system is described by 4 fluid equations
closed by quasi-neutrality. The linearized equations can be reduced to 2
coupled equations: one for the electric potential, and one for the effective
parallel velocity fluctuations, which is a linear combination of main ion and
impurity parallel velocity fluctuations. This reduced system can be understood
as a generalisation of the Hasegawa-Mima model. With finite radial gradient of
impurity parallel flow, the linear dispersion relation then describes a new
instability: the impurity-modified PVG (i-PVG). Instability condition is
described in terms of either the main ion flow shear, or equivalently, an
effective flow shear, which combines main ion and impurity flow shears.
Impurities can have a stabilising or destabilising role, depending on the
parameters, and in particular the direction of main flow shear against impurity
flow shear. Assuming a reasonable value of perpendicular wavenumber, the
maximum growth rate is estimated, depending on impurity mass, charge, and
concentration.

Published: October 2024

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a group of diseases that cause damage by local or widespread accumulation of atypical histiocytes in various tissues such as skin, bone, lung, liver, lymph nodes, mucocutaneous tissues, and endocrine organs. LCH was detected as a result of a total thyroidectomy biopsy performed on a 43-year-old female patient with a solitary euthyroid nodule following weight loss and an increase in the size of the thyroid nodule during outpatient clinic checks. Patient's whole body positron emission tomography. The case of LCH with isolated thyroid involvement is very rare, and a limited number of cases have been presented on this subject. In addition, it will contribute to the literature since there are fewer than ten LCH cases with thyroid involvement.

Published: October 2024

En Ecuador se aplica el modelo económico lineal -usar, tirar- por ello el Estado ecuatoriano desde 2019 se vio en la necesidad de crear iniciativas que apuesten hacia la circularidad, uno de ellos es el Libro Blanco de Economía Circular, este es un documento que cuenta con cuatro ejes principales; Producción Sostenible, Consumo Sostenible, Gestión Integral de Residuos Sólidos (GIRS) y Políticas y Financiamiento. La presente investigación tiene como objetivo analizar el modelo de Economía Circular en Ecuador. Posee un alcance descriptivo, con enfoque cuantitativo utilizando el método deductivo con la ayuda de la técnica documental cuyos instrumentos fueron las bases de datos secundarias e información de documentos. Los resultados se obtuvieron tomando como base los cuatro pilares del Libro Blanco. Los resultados en relación a la Producción Sostenible arrojaron que, en el país se deben implementar indicadores que midan la circularidad, ya que, por ahora, el gobierno solo mide la producción verde, a través de los indicadores de la CEPAL. En cuanto al Consumo Sostenible, a los hogares aún les falta ganar conocimiento acerca de la sostenibilidad, además de que el contexto social y económico del país influye para la toma de decisiones. Continuando con la Gestión Integral de Residuos Sólidos (GIRS), a pesar de que la pandemia del Covid-19 tuvo gran influencia en las GIRS, este problema ya se mantenía latente hace algunos años. Finalmente, las Políticas y financiamiento; Ecuador por el momento no ha implementado políticas directas de Economía Circular y tampoco a invertido y financiado suficiente en más acciones circulares.

Published: October 2024

Este capítulo analiza los alcances, límites y contradicciones de la Cooperativa de Consumo La Imposible "entendida como una red alimentaria alternativa (RAA)" frente a la crisis civilizatoria actual. Se trata de una organización que articula a productoras y consumidoras que buscan otras formas de producir y consumir alimentos fuera de los circuitos económicos dominantes. La Imposible se encuentra en la Ciudad de México y las autoras de este texto participan en su organización. Se propone una metodología cualitativa que consiste en mostrar el desarrollo y funcionamiento del proyecto para compararlo con la economía convencional y con algunos conceptos sobre otras formas de organizar la producción, distribución y consumo de comestibles. En primer lugar, se describe el proceso organizativo de La Imposible señalando algunos de los elementos que la distinguen del sistema agroalimentario convencional (SAC). En segundo lugar, se hace un balance de los alcances de la red en función de las propuestas teóricas de la soberanía alimentaria, la economía solidaria, la economía feminista, la autogestión y la producción de los comunes. Finalmente, se problematizan los alcances del proyecto como al considerar sus límites y contradicciones, tales como la sostenibilidad y las relaciones con el Estado y el mercado. El análisis corrobora que La Imposible es una alternativa concreta que beneficia a sus participantes más allá de los intercambios económicos, pero que no puede abstraerse totalmente de la lógica predominante de la economía capitalista.

Utilizing Language-Generating Artificial Intelligence (LGAI) in Educational Planning: A Case Study
Authors:   North Carolina State University, Walter Amy
Published: October 2024

The integration of Generative AI (GenAI) tools like ChatGPT in education, while promising, remains underexplored. This study investigates the use of language-generating AI (LGAI) within K-12 instructional planning through a case study of a middle school science teacher using the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework. Findings reveal that effective use of LGAI involves detailed contextual input, iterative dialogue, and selective adoption of AI-generated suggestions. The teacher’s engagement with LGAI not only enhanced lesson planning efficiency but also supported adaptive teaching methods and personalized learning experiences. This integration led to improved confidence and strategic decision-making in instructional planning. The study highlights the potential of LGAI to transform educational practices and underscores the importance of professional development to equip educators with the skills necessary to harness AI technologies effectively. These insights contribute to understanding how GenAI can augment instructional design, offering a framework for integrating technological innovations into pedagogy.

Published: October 2024

This research aims to examine the changes in abnormal returns (AR) and trading volume activity (TVA) before and after the announcement of MUI Fatwa Number 83 of 2023, which targets companies for boycott due to their alleged affiliation with Israel. This study employed an event study approach, using a 5-day event window, 10-day event window, 20-day event window and 30-day event window before and after the Fatwa's announcement to measure abnormal returns and trading volume activity. The analysis began by examining the normality of the data to determine whether it was normally distributed. For normally distributed data, a Paired Sample T-test was used, while the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test was applied to non-normally distributed data. The analysis reveals a significant difference in AR during the initial 5-day window, indicating a strong short-term market reaction driven by investor sentiment and uncertainty. However, for longer windows (10, 20, and 30 days), no significant differences in AR were found, suggesting that the market stabilized as new information was absorbed, consistent with the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) by Eugene Fama (1970). Conversely, TVA showed significant increases across all event windows, indicating sustained investor interest and heightened trading activity. This suggests that while the impact on stock prices was short-lived, the boycott had a lasting influence on trading volume, reflecting continued portfolio adjustments.

Penelitian ini membahas peran media dalam meningkatkan pemahaman komunikasi antar budaya di era globalisasi. Dengan berkembangnya teknologi dan media digital, pertukaran informasi lintas budaya menjadi semakin cepat dan luas. Media, terutama media sosial, memainkan peran penting dalam memperkenalkan budaya asing dan memfasilitasi dialog antar budaya. Namun, di sisi lain, media juga dapat memperkuat stereotip negatif melalui proses framing yang bias. Studi ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif untuk menganalisis bagaimana media dapat menjadi alat yang efektif dalam menjembatani perbedaan budaya, sekaligus mengidentifikasi tantangan yang muncul. Beberapa teori yang relevan, seperti Teori Pengurangan Ketidakpastian dan Teori Akomodasi Komunikasi, digunakan untuk mendalami proses komunikasi antar budaya. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa media sosial meningkatkan kompetensi antar budaya dengan menyediakan platform interaktif, sementara media massa melalui digitalisasi memperluas akses ke konten budaya global. Namun, tantangan seperti stereotip, etnosentrisme, dan informasi yang salah tetap menjadi penghalang utama dalam membangun komunikasi yang efektif antar budaya. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan keterlibatan kritis dan literasi media yang baik untuk memaksimalkan peran positif media dalam komunikasi lintas budaya.

Globalisasi telah membawa perubahan signifikan dalam pola komunikasi antar budaya terutama pada Generasi Z yang tumbuh di era digital. Generasi Z menunjukkan kemampuan beradaptasi dalam komunikasi antarbudaya, memanfaatkan keterampilan digital dan media sosial untuk terlibat dengan budaya yang beragam, sambil menghadapi berbagai tantangan dalam komunikasi antar budaya. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis secara mendalam bagaimana globalisasi memengaruhi perubahan pola komunikasi antar budaya pada Generasi Z. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi literatur yang merupakan metode pengumpulan data atau sumber-sumber yang terkait dengan topik penelitian meliputi buku, artikel ilmiah, dan laporan penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa globalisasi memfasilitasi interaksi lintas budaya yang lebih cepat dan luas, di mana Generasi Z memanfaatkan teknologi digital untuk berkomunikasi dan beradaptasi dengan budaya asing. Namun, globalisasi juga menimbulkan tantangan, seperti risiko hilangnya identitas budaya lokal akibat dominasi budaya global. Meskipun demikian, Generasi Z memiliki peluang untuk menjadi lebih inklusif dan toleran terhadap perbedaan budaya. Kesimpulannya, globalisasi memberikan dampak positif dan negatif terhadap komunikasi antar budaya, dan Generasi Z perlu menemukan keseimbangan antara mempertahankan identitas budaya lokal dan beradaptasi dengan budaya global.
