About Me – on the Alleged Mysteriousness of the First-Person Perspective for Naturalism
Authors: Reuter Gerson , Schütze Oliver
Published: August 2023

Naturalistic understandings of the mind face certain hurdles. Many authors believe that some such hurdles are even insurmountable. A frequently used but rarely developed and tested argumentative move claims that, because they are made from the so-called observer perspective,
naturalization efforts inevitably fail for reasons connected to our first-person perspective. We are not convinced. However, this article primarily attempts to gain a better understanding of the point and scope of this move by discussing an argument by Holm Tetens from which the basic
incompleteness of the observer perspective is supposed to follow. Depending on how one interprets the incompleteness in question, one gets different readings of the argument: ontological, semantic, epistemic, or explanatory. First, we will develop two ontological readings of this argument
in more detail ‐ mainly because they are the most obvious challenges to naturalism. We will then systematically explore the prospects of the alternative readings. These considerations lead to a more fundamental discussion about the requirements for naturalistic explanations. As it turns
out, to defend such an incompleteness argument, you face some inconvenient hurdles yourself.

Prawo do świadczeń rodzinnych z tytułu urodzenia dziecka w ustawie o świadczeniach rodzinnych
Authors: Maziarczuk Sylwia
Published: August 2023

Świadczenia rodzinne mają na celu wsparcie finansowe rodzin z dziećmi na utrzymaniu. Polski ustawodawca ma świadomość, że narodziny dziecka w rodzinie to wielka rewolucja dla rodziców, którzy będą musieli zmierzyć się z wyzwaniem wychowania i zapewnienia dziecku godnych warunków życia. Autorka artykułu zwróciła uwagę na konstytucyjny obowiązek państwa pomocy rodzinie oraz na doprecyzowanie tego obowiązku w ustawie o świadczeniach rodzinnych. W szczególności dokonała analizy jednorazowego zasiłku z tytułu urodzenia dziecka, dodatku do świadczenia rodzinnego z tytułu urodzenia dziecka oraz jednorazowego zasiłku z tytułu urodzenia się dziecka w gminie. Wszystkie te świadczenia mają charakter jednorazowy, są wypłacane tylko raz i tylko na jedno dziecko. Udzielając pomocy finansowej rodzinom z okazji narodzin dziecka, ustawodawca okazuje troskę o rodzinę znajdującą się w nowej sytuacji, ale jest to pomoc jednorazowa.

Colo Uterino — IIª parte: estudo na infante, recém-nascida e feto. Alguns aspectos cito e histopatológicos
Authors: Barcellos José Maria , Borges Virgínia , Freire Nazaré Serra , Castellar Dulce , Moraes Filho Alfredo
Published: August 2023

Do estudo que há muito estamos realizando sobre o colo do útero, grande interesse sempre nos despertou o de fetos, recém-nascidas e infantes. Algumas observações e achados merecem referência especial por constituírem verdadeiros temas de meditação. Salienta-se a presença, em indivíduos tão jovens, de hiperplasias das células de reserva, de metaplasias epidermóides e imagens de displasias em tudo semelhantes às encontradas na mulher adulta. Sabe-se que, embora passível de discussão e de dúvidas, essas alterações têm sido consideradas precursoras ou intimamente relacionadas com a carcinogênese cervical. Confessamos que essas descobertas, as conjeturas que sugerem, a alta significação histopatológica que podem ter, constituíram a motivação, o estímulo fundamental para o presente trabalho. O material do nosso estudo compreende duas normas de observação: — estudo de 195 colos uterinos de fetos, recém-nascidas e infantes, quanto à posição da JEC, à incidência de eversão e reversão, a caracteres histológicos das mucosas epidermóide e glandular e alguns aspectos histoquímicos; — estudo de outros 28 colos uterinos de fetos e recém-nascidas, quanto à posição da JEC, a caracteres histológicos das mucosas cervicais com as citologias correspondentes, sem incluir aqui, ainda, os estudos histoquímicos.
Uso da técnica de tábua de sobrevivência para estimar sobrevida em casos de câncer
Authors: Souza José Maria Pacheco de
Published: August 2023

Em estudos epidemiológicos a expressão sobrevida tem sentido bem amplo. Para câncer, por exemplo, sobrevida após o diagnóstico pode ser a quantidade de anos (ou meses, ou dias) que um paciente permanece vivo após um diagnóstico (clínico ou radiológico, ou por biópsia, etc.) de câncer. Mas também se poderia definir sobrevida após alta clínica o tempo para um paciente ter uma recidiva.

ON THE ISSUE OF PREDICTING THE REMAINING SERVICE LIFE OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANT ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
Authors: Федухін Олександр , Муха Артем
Published: August 2023

This article addresses the issues related to the assessment and prediction of residual life of power plant equipment, taking into account the wear rate of its main components. Theoretical aspects arising during probabilistic calculations for predicting the residual life of three-phase induction motors are investigated. The study assumes that the prediction of residual life is based on determining its minimum estimate through calculation. A comparison is made between the minimum estimate result and the normative permissible level of wear of the investigated objects. The authors propose using a probabilistic-physical approach to objectively assess the technical condition and predict the residual life of this technical equipment. Within this approach, a probabilistic model based on the application of the diffusion-monotonic distribution for failures is considered for assessing longevity. The parameters of the model used have a physical interpretation. The key parameters taken into account are the average rate of change of the determining parameter, namely the insulation absorption coefficient and its resistance, as well as the coefficients of variation of selected degradation processes, assuming the possibility of their measurement or the use of prior estimation for the variation coefficient of processes. The article presents criteria for assessing the residual life of the investigated objects, which allows reducing operational costs by increasing the maintenance intervals and establishing the actual service life of the motors.

me-dérive: toronto: Remediating the [AR]chival Impulse
Authors: Morais Ana Rita
Published: August 2023

This dissertation is an innovative exploration of the intersections between participatory archiving and augmented reality (AR), rooted in the necessity to engage more fully with Toronto’s diverse and historical cultural heritage. Foregrounded as research-creation, this work describes, theorizes, and disseminates an AR counter-archive–me-dérive: toronto. Mobilizing power away from institutional archives and into the hands of the public, me-dérive: toronto uses the power of locative media in order to provide records of Toronto’s diverse past and present in-situ. A portmanteau of the word ‘mediation’ and the Situationist’s notion of the dérive, the app produces a new paradigm to the archive— one that is simultaneously participatory and techno-informed. With every found photograph and submission alike the project multiples both in volume and vigor to combat the archival injustices that fail to narrativize Canadian immigrant identities.

This counter-archive reclaims space through a participatory visual account of history, allowing for a different kind of knowledge—one that is techno-embodied—to emerge and be embraced. As the scope of the records and overall scale of the project amplifies, it engages a layer of complementary principles— the accrual of diverse narratives, the opposition of pre-prescribed history by governing institutions, and the dynamism to employ technology to engage critically with heritage records beyond the confinements of exclusive cultural spaces.

Through historical research, precedent scanning, insights into cultural production, participatory and mobile app observation and research-creation projects, counter-archival projects demand that institutions become more inclusive, not only in collection practices, but in dissemination and access practices as well. My research addresses the gaps and omissions that exist in our institutional archives, while making explicit what is needed to make a more holistic, comprehensive archive of Toronto’s diverse narratives.

me-dérive: toronto has been developed at the intersection of a series of technological, social and cultural routes: the omnipresence of locative and app-based media; the spatial turn in social sciences; the use of mobile media for supplementary content in cultural archives and museum spaces alike; the critical importance of cultivating marginalized narratives; the political concern of privacy and safety in varying public spaces; and the duality of virtual and real environments that hold the potential to augment space and place. 
“It’s Not Just Fashion For Fashion’s Sake”: Sustainable Fashion Social Media Influencer Ecosystem
Authors: Harrison Brooke
Published: August 2023

Globally we are witnessing the environmental demise of our planet. Simultaneously, consumers have shown a greater interest in shopping second-hand and the sustainable fashion industry is experiencing rapid growth, which is estimated to reach $8.25 billion by 2031 (Businesswire, 2020). This market acceleration led to the exploration of sustainable fashion social media influencers. 

Using semi-structured interviews with 20 sustainable fashion social media influencers, the research analyzes the ecosystem of sustainable fashion social media influencers and makes three unique contributions. First, the research introduces a three-part typology of sustainable fashion social media influencers: 1) sustainable lifestyle influencers, 2) sustainability influencers, and 3) thrifting influencers. Second, the research uncovers how sustainable fashion social media influencers perform vulnerability and sustainability failures in a strategy to portray curated authenticity. Finally, the research identifies "the entrepreneurial dichotomy," which refers to the challenge that sustainable fashion influencers face when they harmonize their ethos of sustainability and ethics along with their desire to leverage their social media platforms for profit.
How Can Instagram be a Better Space for You?
Authors: Burling Meredith G. H.
Published: August 2023

The major research questions of this paper and project are: how can Instagram be a better space for young girls? Which accounts and hashtags on Instagram can create an outlet for girls? On Instagram, some women edit their photos where they take in their waistlines and erase their acne; others use beauty filters where their faces are automatically changed to appear more beautiful (Tiggemann, Hayden, Brown, & Veldhuis, 2018). Teen girls aged 14-17 are using Instagram and it is evident that Instagram impacts their mental health. It is also apparent that Instagram can be a great outlet for girls (Li, Chang, Chua & Loh, 2018). However, there is a lack of resource materials for teen girls surrounding this topic (Li, Chang, Chua & Loh, 2018). Based on this reasoning, an infographic tool about how Instagram can be a better space for teen girls accompanies this paper. This paper and infographic will hopefully evoke conversations among girls. I believe that girls should be aware of different hashtags and accounts that are designed to spread positivity to enhance their experiences on Instagram (Li, Chang, Chua & Loh, 2018).Â 
Grief and Palliative Care in the time of COVID-19
Authors: Piper Kayla
Published: August 2023

This Major Research Paper utilizes a critical discourse analysis to explore how grief is being talked about in relation to the Covid-19 pandemic. The discursive sample consists of ten publicly available texts, produced within a North American context. These texts were examined through Anti-Oppressive Practice and Stress Process Model theories. The dominant discourses that arose throughout the analyzed texts were: the â€œbadâ€ or â€œlonelyâ€ death; distant rituals - downfalls of the digital embrace; political health spending; the rise of complicated grief; and palliative care at home - the isolated and abandoned. The analysis and discussion raised themes of neoliberalism and inequalities when providing care. Future steps include more research on palliative care at home, specifically care provided to those who do not have Covid-19. This research is needed to address the ways in which neoliberal retrenchment of the welfare state has created further strain to caregivers, both emotionally, and financially.
The Nipp Collection: Rethinking Approaches to the Diasporic Photographic Archive
Authors: Chang Hillary
Published: August 2023

The Nipp collection is a seminal example of a vernacular photographic collection depicting a minority diasporic community; its contents depict a story familiar to all Chinese Canadians requiring historic contextualization to preserve the depth and detail it can provide to our shared history. This thesis functions in two parts: first, it examines three Canadian cultural institutions and their relationships with underrepresented minority collections, and second it studies the practical application of preparing a minority diasporic vernacular family collection for acquisition at a small cultural institution â€“ in this case the Multicultural Historical Society of Ontario. The outcomes include a brief history of changing institutional approaches to diasporic photographic collections and a finding aid for the Nipp collection created around the oral history of the Nipp family members as provenance.
It's Alive! Using Linked Open Data to promote discovery within artist-run centre collections
Authors: Gagnon Shannon
Published: August 2023

The Western Front Society's Reverie: Noise City (2005) is a website platform originally built to present live performance art for their annual "Art's Birthday" event. The Reverie website envisions a "virtual city" where online audiences witness these performances and today serves as an archive for the web-streamed events. Despite its innovative nature, the website's content remains largely undiscoverable and hard to access due to the limited terminology exposing the website to search engine queries, the lack of a sitemap in HTML for the website sub-links, and the absence of structured machine-readable data. Using the Reverie website as case study, I argue for the use of Linked Open Data technologies within artist-run organizations hoping to improve discoverability of their multimedia assets. I create a machine-readable document to advance the Reverie website's Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and provide an outline of my methodology to be used by like-minded archivists and artists.

This plan can then be applied to other slide-based artworks that are to be exhibited.
Cross-Cultural Analysis of Children's Moral Education: Perspectives on Deception in Korean and Western Folklores
Authors: Jeong Stella Se Young
Published: August 2023

Cross-cultural differences in children's judgment of lying have been documented in past research. In this qualitative study, collectivist and individualist perspectives on deception are compared. Using emergent and predetermined themes analysis, four Korean and Western folklores are analyzed. Framed by culturally sustaining pedagogy, folklores are interpreted as instruments in early learning to transmit local cultural values and bring attention to cultural diversity in moral education. Findings indicate non-binary perspectives on deception in both cultures, suggesting deception is used to impart lessons on morality and socialization. The research proposes that children encounter complex social and moral rules, but education under the neoliberal and settler colonial systems prohibit complex discussion. Recommendations are made for educators to engage in discussions on lying with children instead of avoiding uncomfortable topics through punishment. Introducing diverse perspectives on deception through different cultural resources online is suggested to propagate globalization instead of westernization in moral education.
Combatting the 'Glass Runway': An Assessment of Female Leadership and Creative Control in the Fashion Industry
Authors: Brucculieri Julia
Published: August 2023

Discussions of gender in the context of fashion have a long history, with plenty of discourse surrounding women, their sexuality and femininity, as well as gender inequality. As an industry, fashion is marketed to women, yet dominated by men. This MRP analyzes who the women leaders are or are not in fashion and examines what that imbalance means in relation to the industry at large. This paper takes the form of a comprehensive literature review, employing Allyson Stokes' 'glass runway' metaphor and Pierre Bourdieu's field theory as theoretical frameworks. The research explores three themes: leadership, creativity, and fashion as independent enterprise. Overall, the literature reveals longstanding societal norms that have seemingly influenced the way men and women progress through the fashion industry. These gender norms and perceptions present invisible barriers to leadership for women, but also offer some explanation for the lack of women in high-level roles in the industry.
What Men Wear and Why Do They Wear It?
Authors: Birnie Julia
Published: August 2023

This research intends to provide insight into the active role of men in their clothing choices; more specifically to explore young men’s relationship with their clothing and a look into self- expression through clothing, and communication of the self. To answer the question of: how do young men ages 19-25 years old communicate narrative, individuality and identity, through intention and performance of clothing? Using a mixed methods approach through questionnaire and a semi-structured interview offering males a safe place to talk about their fashion and clothing choices. The results of this study suggest that men play an active role in their clothing choices. Clothing habits are scattered and highly dependent on situations, dress codes, or expectations thus differing based on personal preference and values. Men communicate narrative individuality and construct identity differently, as their influences and values dictate preferences.
Trend Forecasting and Consumer Behaviour
Authors: Lindzon Brooke
Published: August 2023

This research study defines the gap in trend forecasting, while proposing a method to improve trend-forecasting models. With a primary focus on style and colour trends, trend forecasting models are missing the increasingly importance of consumer behaviour. A survey is conducted to examine the key influences for a consumer, along with their true intentions when making a purchasing decision. These results are then implemented into the ANN model in order to properly propose a new forecasting model that takes a variety of social elements into account.

Authors: Abraham Sara
Published: August 2023

As a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the accelerated digitization of the shopping experience has required many businesses to pivot toward building their e-commerce offerings. A few businesses have established themselves as industry leaders through the integration of AI marketing practices for the optimization of their omnichannel presence. This research explores the AI marketing integration of two leading e-commerce retailers that have focused on fashion as their singular commodity. Through case studies on Farfetch and Stitch Fix, the research identifies 1. personalization, 2. real-time automation and 3. data-driven recommendations as key elements of successful AI integration as it contributes to the consumer loyalty journey outlined by McKinsey & Company. Further, these insights are used to support a recommendation for AI integration into the marketing strategy of leading Canadian womenswear retailer, Aritzia. This application serves to form a generalizable framework for other mid-market fashion retail businesses throughout the industry.
A Becoming Creative Process: Études on Experimental Fragmentation and Reconstruction in Fashion Design
Authors: Grenier Crivellaro Tricia
Published: August 2023

The Major Research Project (MRP) employs a conceptual framework composed of fifteen (15) experimental “Études” exploring concepts of fragmentation and reconstruction in fashion design. Using becoming-theory and unbecoming-theory as a lens, it intends to open a dialogue on gender, the body, and sustainability. This MRP undertakes an exploration of the complexities within the particular forms of oppression experienced by women. Furthermore, this creative research offers analytic reflections on patriarchy through deconstruction of uniforms. This project explores the limits of fashion, art, and critical theory. In doing so, it aims to blur the boundaries between femininity and masculinity. With a focus on process-as-knowing, this MRP reveals how interdisciplinary practice-led methodology can influence and give agency to one’s embodied creative practice. By making “becoming” experimental accessories and garments, the autoethnography of documentation methods will act as a vessel to support and contain the creative process as interpreted through intuition.
Line in Architecture: Inhabiting Drawing
Authors: Abdi Parandis
Published: August 2023

The line is often diminished to only what is drawn, masking its complexity. The line in architecture is an encapsulation of all the drawing, thinking, and writing conducted within the design process. However, there is ambiguity among these three components. The drawn line, the line of thought, and the line of text weave together to create the line in architecture. To examine this, the line in architecture is employed to inhabit the primary medium of idea development — drawing. It is through drawings that architecture evolves beyond a representational capacity. Inhabiting is not only a physical phenomenon, as inhabitation has many forms. In order to inhabit architecture, drawings are to be seen as more than just drawn lines, and inhabited by acknowledging the complexity of the line in architecture. Through the embodiment of a personal architectural design process, this thesis aims to reveal the line’s inherent composition and, as a result, inhabit drawing. 
Industrial Wasteland: Revitalization Transcribed
Authors: Ahonen Alicia Rose
Published: August 2023

For decades, shipping harbours, industrial developments, and municipal wastes have escalated levels of pollution and contamination in the water, soil, and air. Cumulative effl uence has led to the demise of valuable waterfront cities, and this degeneration has separated urban centres from public accessibility to the water. Hamilton Harbour is the largest contaminated sediment site along the Great Lakes in Canada. The urban waterfront is crucial to Hamilton’s history, both geographically and politically. However, the current industrial recession has caused these lands to degrade: physically, culturally, and architecturally. This thesis explores a method to revive the waterfront and improve community well-being, through revitalization of the landscape. Architectural intervention provides the means to implement decontamination processes and provide experiential engagement for the public. The objective is to develop a post-pollution, diversifi ed, mixed-use coastline with functional, engaging structures that promote a connection of place between the city and its natural resources.  
Ephemeral Boundaries : Toward a Fluidity of Space
Authors: Kadri Sana
Published: August 2023

The thesis Ephemeral Boundaries is approached at the intersection of substance, energy, and architecture. Boundaries define the distinctive attributes of space through their material, thermal and perceptual qualities. While ephemerality describes the continuous interaction of boundaries through their fleeting nature. Thermodynamic study offers alternate possibilities of enclosure, creating negotiations between architectural elements, atmospheric environments, and the body. The introduction of gradients and heterogeneity in air, defined by movement, temperature, humidity, and density, drive an alternative approach to buildings that are served by mechanical systems. The orientation of the body-environment is used to explore sensations, variability, and evolving understandings of space. The design project of the Garden Gallery explores boundaries as a composition of experiential space, movement of substances, and spaces of attraction. This thesis explores active nature and boundaries of the body-environment relationship as they lead toward a fluidity of space. 
An Acoustic Investigation of the Production of Interdental Fricatives by Cameroonian ESL Learners
Authors: Garou Abbo
Published: August 2023

This study investigates the production of /θ/ and /ð/ at initial, medial and final positions by Cameroonian ESL (CamESL) students using the acoustic analysis method. The words theme, something, mouth, them, without and with were put on a list and read by 26 undergraduate CamESL learners from the University of Maroua. Their productions were recorded and analysed using PRAAT version 6.3.11 of 17 July 2023. The analysis revealed that at initial and medial positions, the majority of learners were able to accurately render the sounds while at the final position, both /θ/ and /ð/ were systematically substituted with /f/ and the unreleased stops /t ̚/ and /d ̚ /. It was also discovered that the choice of substituting phonemes depends on the linguistic environment sounds since unreleased stops never occurred at initial and medial word positions, and the normal stops /t/ and /d/ also rarely occurred at the final position. It can be concluded that success and deviation in the production of interdental fricatives by CamESL learners depend on the location of the sound.

This research paper aims to investigate the strategies applied in translating cultural bound expression in "The Season of Immigration to the North" by the novelist Eltyab Saleh. The strategies used in this study are based on the models developed by Newmark (1988) and Baker (2018). The researcher adopted the descriptive quadrative method. Cultural bound expressions are classified into five cultural categories. The study reveals that there are (80) cultural bound expressions that fall under the following categories: 1) ecology, 2) material culture, 3) social culture, 4) organizations, customs, activities, procedures, concept and 5) gesture and habits. According to the study, the translator of the novel "The Season of Immigration to the North" employed the following seven strategies to translate the cultural terms: 1) applying a more general word (superordinate), 2) cultural substitution, 3) transference, 4) paraphrase using a related word, 5) translation by omission, 6) translation by naturalization, and finally literal translation. The most frequently used strategy is literal translation, followed by transference
Traces of Postmodern Vocabulary in The Road by Cormac McCarthy

AbstractThe Road, written by the American novelist Cormac McCarthy in 2006, offers a decentring representation of a ruined world in which a handful of people are alive. An alienated father with his lost-in-ambiguity son on the road to survival scours the ruins for food and water, for life and meaning, and for hope long faded in a world bereft of all meaning, civilisation, and humanity, and supplanted by haunting traumas, cannibalism, and death. The novel has been subject to numerous critical analyses among which the postmodern facet, albeit a wide window to see through, has received scant critical attention. In terms of periodization and thematic analysis, postmodernism is a late twentieth century movement, which is often deemed as the successor to modernism, what is after the contemporary, it is characterised by fragmentation in style, a general disbelief in social, political, and religious narratives, paranoia, uncertainty, and deconstruction. Thus, McCarthy depicts a paranoia-stricken world, fragmented in style and theme, beleaguered by scepticism and the depthless. However, as mentioned before, the many aspects of postmodernism discernable in the novel have escaped critics’ attention. Drawing on the extracted terms by Bennett and Royle, known as the “postmodern vocabulary”, seeking to present a synopsis of the terms, and see the present work of art through their lenses, the present article not only delineates the traces of postmodern vocabularies at work in the novel but also strives to explore both their possible cause of appearance in and the effect they have wrought on the post-apocalyptic ambience of the novel. It will be concluded that this novel houses almost all the aspects of postmodernism discussed by Bennett and Royle.

It was aimed to investigate the effectiveness of two different techniques, distance and face-to-face education, in the acquisition of learning skills related to the course of an applied undergraduate program course in the ongoing pandemic conditions. This one-group, semi-experimental study was completed with 68 students. "Participant Information Form", "Instruction Form for Preparing Practice Videos" and "Guide to Practice Learning Skills" were used in data collection. The study was carried out in three stages. In the first stage, the course was taught through distance education with theoretical information and educational videos. In the second stage, students were asked to apply first aid, record it on video and send the file via the e-lesson system. In the third stage, the applications were explained face to face by the lecturer in the laboratory environment and the students were instructed to do these applications. Data were analyzed using SPSS programme. The mean age of the participants was 20.64±0.91 years, while 69.1% (n=47) were female, and 31.9% (n=21) were male. Among the participants, 26.5% (n=18) had previously received training about first aid, where 55.5% (n=10) of those who had stated that they received this training in high school. It was determined that the grades that the participants received after the face-to-face applied education process were significantly higher than the grades they received after the distance education process (p
High-fidelity CFD-trained machine learning to inform RANS-modelled interfacial turbulence

In aero-engine bearing chambers, two-phase shearing flows are difficult to predict as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) RANS models tend to overestimate interfacial turbulence levels, leading to inaccuracies in the modelling of the flow. Turbulence damping methods have been developed to address this problem, such as Egorov’s correction, however, this method is mesh dependent and results differ considerably according to the choice of turbulence damping coefficient. In addition, this approach assumes a smooth interface between the air and oil phases when in reality they are wavy. In this paper, a Machine Learning method is used to inform an unsteady RANS turbulence modelling. It is trained using high fidelity quasi-DNS simulation data and used to provide an appropriate correction to the popular Wilcox’s standard RANS k−ω turbulence model. The correction consists of a machine learning-predicted source term which is used to adjust the energy budget in the RANS transport equations. Demonstration of the approach is presented for a range of interfacial flow regimes.
Leaderboards & Prestige Points: How Homegrown Applications Gamify Muslim Hate
Authors: Basu Soma
Published: August 2023

This article identifies a shift in the methods of digital repression used by state and non-state actors in Hindu majoritaria India, in the context of the country's deteriorating democracy rankings and looming worries about a possible Muslim genocide. Exploring the advent of hyper nationalistic, domestic social media applications, I argue that the platforms’ features, moderation practises, and regulations legitimise Islamophobia, collective actions against minorities, and surveillance. Based on 18 months of netnography and reflective observations within Kutumb app groups, I argue that the platforms affordances offered by the app ease its use as a covert tool for radicalization and recruiting digital volunteers for the Hindutva cause. My research shows how the app uses game mechanics to reward and "gamify" Islamophobia and different acts of violence against Muslims. This type of social, cultural and political engagement is habituating Islamophobia in every day, ordinary life.

MAPEAMENTO EM PESQUISAS SOBRE FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSOR QUE ENSINA MATEMÁTICA: COMPLEXIDADE, PROCESSOS DIDÁTICOS E PRÁTICAS METODOLÓGICAS
Authors: Mariniak Mikaelly Rafaela , Guérios Ettiène Cordeiro
Published: August 2023

Diante da importância de estudar aspectos relacionados ao professor que ensina Matemática para melhorar a qualidade da educação, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo contribuir com o mapeamento e estado da arte sobre o tema, bem como compreender a presença da Teoria do Pensamento Complexo no corpus de análise. De abordagem quali-quantitativa, este trabalho se caracteriza como um mapeamento no banco de teses e dissertações da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior. O corpus de análise é constituído por sete pesquisas, regionalmente bem distribuídas, com tendência de defesa o ano de 2013 e em que se destaca o uso de entrevistas semiestruturadas como instrumento de coleta de dados. As pesquisas encontradas foram divididas em três categorias, de acordo com seus objetivos gerais, são elas: Prática pedagógica, PIBID e Formação de professores. Em comum, os resultados de todas as categorias indicam que a formação de professores e a prática docente não privilegiam o desenvolvimento de um pensamento complexo, multidimensional e contextualizado. Corroborando com isso está o fato de que apenas um dos sete trabalhos analisados tem como marco teórico a Teoria do Pensamento Complexo, os demais apenas usam a complexidade em seu sentido corriqueiro.
A mathematical model for Chagas disease transmission with neighboring villages

Published: August 2023

Chagas disease has been the target of widespread control programs, primarily through residual insecticide treatments. However, in some regions like the Gran Chaco, these efforts have failed to sufficiently curb the disease. Vector reinfestation into homes and vector resistance to insecticides are possible causes of the control failure. This work proposes a mathematical model for the dynamics of Chagas disease in neighboring rural villages of the Gran Chaco region, incorporating human travel between the villages, passive vector migration, and insecticide resistance. Computational simulations across a wide variety of scenarios are presented. The simulations reveal that the effects of human travel and passive vector migration are secondary and unlikely to play a significant role in the overall dynamics, including the number of human infections. The numerical results also show that insecticide resistance causes a notable increase in infections and is an especially important source of reinfestation when spraying stops. The results suggest that control strategies related to migration and travel between the villages are unlikely to yield meaningful benefit and should instead focus on other reinfestation sources like domestic foci that survive insecticide spraying or sylvatic foci.
