Tiempo de gatos azules
Authors:   Universidad Politécnica Salesiana (Ecuador), Hermosa Mantilla Hernán
Published: February 2024

Era tiempo de gatos que brotaban como hongos después de la lluvia. Así miraba yo desde cerca mientras el mundo seguía palpitando. Nunca me propuse publicar un libro en aquella época, aunque tomaba notas como una forma de conversar conmigo mismo. Treinta y pico años después sentí que esas memorias reclamaban un techo en algún escaparate. Y no es que “todo pasado fue mejor”, solo quiero desempolvar mis escritos para entender los entretelones de la década ochentera que viví. Claro que esos apuntes no podían salir tan pálidos como los guardé, y me di modos por darles una sazón que le quitara el tufo a guardado. Así fue como salvé al gato Herodes de las manos de una carpintera malvada —que convertía en azul todo lo que encontraba a su paso— para darle protagonismo en una trama de arrebatos. Era la dinámica entre la fantasía de San Quintín y las vivencias de una ciudad salpicada de intensiones.

Intergenerational Social Exclusion, Silences, and the Transformation of Agency: An Oral History Approach
Authors: Isola Anna-Maria
Published: February 2024

This oral history article, inspired by research conducted among minorities, explores the interrelations between intergenerational disadvantage, experience of social exclusion, and silence within family histories. During the fieldwork, 13 study participants shared their transgenerational family stories that shed light on intergenerational disadvantage, including substance abuse, trauma, violence, emotional coldness, neuropsychiatric characteristics, and mental health concerns. Study participants had experienced active and passive social exclusion, such as discrimination within service systems, exclusion from the job market, bullying, and discriminatory attitudes. They also believed that their previous generations had experienced social exclusion. This study shows that silence is often a result of the social exclusion experienced by people who deviate from the assumed norm and suffer from disadvantage. To protect themselves from social exclusion, people remain silent. Silence deepens social inequalities by keeping people in weak positions apart and preventing them from acting together to redress power dynamics. Today, however, there are more opportunities than in the past to work on silence and social exclusion, making it possible for these people to shift their positions from being others to being closer to the sources of power.
Gustatory images of Myroslav Yaremak (based on the materials of performances)
Authors:   Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine, Babii Nadiia
Published: February 2024

The article constitutes a segment of the author's research on the representation of social practices through artistic production processes in twenty-first-century Ivano-Frankivsk. It delves into the issue of intercultural communication by examining gustatory themes within the performances of the action artist, Myroslav Yaremak. The study concentrates on actions that revolve around artistic depictions of food and beverages' growth, processing, and consumption, recontextualized within the present culture and politics of a provincial city amidst a globalized backdrop. Furthermore, the article explores the documentation aspects and the societal impact of the performances «Alma mater», «Sower», and «In vino veritas» on the small-town community. The material is organized thematically, revealing content categories such as milk, grain (seeds), and wine as significant markers. The structure of the work revolves around life experiences, meanings, and artistic images. The methodology encompasses semiotic studies by Roland Barthes, performance studies popularised by Richard Schechner, and food studies exemplified in the works of Crystal Neely. It analyses how the chosen categories' meaning and significance, as well as the artist's associated actions, evolve due to changing political or cultural circumstances. The primary empirical foundation of this study comprises self-archived performance artefacts, photo documentation sourced from Ivano-Frankivsk photographers' archives of the 1990s and 2010s, self-descriptions, performance documentation, and interviews with Myroslav Yaremak conducted between 2022 and 2023. The article reveals the process of transforming specific gestural acts into universal ones through ingrained images within daily experiences. It demonstrates how the form of performance and reperformance was shaped by cultural or political history, interpreted through the subjective experiences of the artist and his assistants. Consequently, it portrays gestural acts in the work as mediums of social interaction, wherein recipients (assistants and spectators) become active participants within the artwork.
Secularization of the image of Hades and the underworld in Ancient Greece through the example of vase painting
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Fiedosieiev Nikita
Published: February 2024

The investigation into the development of plots within the realm of artistic expression remains an enduringly pertinent subject. The distinctive backdrop of Ancient Greece offers a unique perspective for elucidating this evolutionary process, particularly through the medium of vase painting. The author specifically aimed at tracing the progression of a specific narrative type, centred around the depiction of the afterlife realm of Hades. This study also encompasses broader implications that can be inferred from the chronological evolution of this thematic construct. The intellectual landscape of the Greeks underwent a noticeable phase of desacralisation, characterised by a palpable shift in attitude. Narratives and figures that once commanded reverence started to be portrayed with reduced deference. The transformation of depictions related to Hades, spanning from the archaic to the classical period, is substantial. This transformation includes not only the iconography of Hades himself but also extends to his surrounding environment and accompanying characters. The very configuration of the underworld underwent a metamorphosis, and the personas within it underwent alterations. This process of desacralisation is not confined to vase painting alone; it extends into literature, a facet that will be detailed further. Significant changes in eschatological concepts find explicit expression in the works of notable contemporaries such as Plato, Euripides, Aristotle, and others. The evolution is particularly evident in relation to mythologies, with a noticeable surge in scepticism and critical scrutiny directed towards previously venerated myths. This critical perspective on myths was a relatively novel phenomenon in the literary domain until a certain epoch. Moreover, an exploration of the evolution of myths and the fluctuating popularity of specific narratives offers a lens through which to gauge the prevailing sentiments among the citizens of Greek city-states.
Unraveling the Complex Interplay: Exploring the Relationships between Seismic and Volcanic Activities in the Colca River Area Using the Coulomb Stress Transfer
Authors: Woszczycka Marta , Gaidzik Krzysztof , Anccasi Figueroa Rosa Maria , Mendecki Maciej , Benavente Carlos
Published: February 2024

The Colca River area is affected by shallow small-to-moderate earthquakes due to the activity of normal and strike-slip crustal faults on the overriding South American plate. In addition, volcanic activity from the Sabancaya volcano has been recorded. However, the complex relationship between seismic and volcanic activities and the factors that trigger them are poorly understood. To better understand the factors that influence seismic and volcanic activity and their potential connection, it is crucial to characterize the interactions between subsequent earthquakes and assess the impact of magmatic inflation on seismic events. In this study, we analyzed the static Coulomb stress transfer caused by the selected largest earthquakes from 1991 to 2022. We focused on both the assumed source faults and the receiver faults. Furthermore, we examined the Coulomb stress change due to magmatic inflation in 2013–2022 on nodal planes of the selected earthquakes. The results confirm the tectonic source for most earthquakes in the Colca region. Commonly, the magmatic source enhanced the stress change induced by the tectonic source. Although the Coulomb stress change caused by the significant earthquakes had a greater impact than the one resulting from the magmatic inflation, the Coulomb stress transfer seems not to be a dominant factor determining the occurrence and location of earthquakes in this area. The results indicate that most source faults of the analyzed earthquakes were not brought closer to failure due to a positive Coulomb stress transfer caused by seismic activity or magmatic inflation.

The time-averaged shear-wave velocity in the upper 30 m of a site (VS30) is virtually essential in characterizing local soil conditions for multiple purposes, including estimation of site effects, anticipated ground-motion levels, seismic hazards, and the shape of design spectra. Considering the significance of this proxy and that a number of the Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency of Türkiye (AFAD) strong ground-motion stations across Türkiye lack assigned VS30 values, a comprehensive study was performed herein to develop empirical equations for estimating VS30 values in Türkiye based on relationships between 432 VS30 measurements at the AFAD stations, geologic units, and topographic data. Initially, units in the geological digital maps were reclassified into four geological periods. Statistical relationships between geological period classes and VS30 samples were interpreted to determine the VS30 boundaries for each period class. Second, VS30 estimations with topographic parameters by utilizing a 2D trend surface analysis method were performed. The resultant two-parameter polynomial coefficients were associated with VS30 according to the least squares principle, leading to the development of topographic functions for VS30 estimation under each geological period class (R2=0.601). Thereby, digital VS30 estimation maps were produced in grid (90 m) format that may be queried in a Geographic Information Systems environment. Moreover, the quantile regression method was also utilized to determine the coefficients of the envelope curve corresponding to a given exceedance probability (p) for the worst case scenario. Finally, to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed equations, the verifications performed with the VS30 data at the selected AFAD stations in the region affected by the 6 February 2003 earthquakes have also presented successful outcomes. Considering the availability of VS30 maps derived from digital elevation data in the literature, this study offers novel equations that take into account geological units and provide crucial background data for the regional seismic hazard-based risk assessments in Türkiye, especially for site effect studies using VS30 as a regional site classification parameter.

The purpose of this study is to develop a classifier capable of detecting typical absence seizures in real-time using electroencephalogram (EEG) data and a Support Vector Machine (SVM) model. Methods. Sections of the EEG, previously identified by a specialist as containing typical absences, were used to train the SVM model. Key features for classification include the number of zero crossings, cross-correlation between two consecutive windows, spectral power across various frequency bands, and the standard deviation of instantaneous signal power. Results. Training and testing datasets were established, consisting of EEG windows with various types of artifacts. The SVM model was successfully trained and tested, achieving high performance metrics. The developed algorithm can be integrated into a mobile application and used in conjunction with a wearable EEG device with dry electrodes for real-time detection of typical absences. Conclusion. The study results affirm the potential for using machine learning techniques for the automatic detection and logging of epileptic activity. However, additional testing on a larger dataset is needed for more conclusive results, including data acquired through a wireless EEG device using dry electrodes. Future work will involve selecting a suitable EEG device and developing a mobile application for real-time data collection and analysis.

Published: February 2024

The relationship between adolescents and their stepparents is a unique one because the relationship is established without blood ties. Family functioning is the ability of each member to interact and take roles in the family so that closeness is established with each family member. This research looks into how family functioning affects the depression symptoms of adolescents who have stepparents. The research used a quantitative approach with an incidental sampling technique. Research subjects were 100 15–19 years old adolescents with stepparents (Mean = 16.89, SD = 1,188). The research instruments used were McMaster Family Functioning Scale (short version) and Beck Depression Inventory. The statistical programs used were Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 25 and Past3. The result of a simple linear regression analysis tested showed a significantly negative effectof family functioning on the depression symptoms of adolescents who have stepparents (R = –0.92, R2 = 0.85, Pvalue = 0.00). That is, the presence of one of the new parents can predict if the teenager will develop depression in their life. The implications of this reseach are expected to provide understanding to parents of the importance of family communication and it is hoped that parents can provide understanding and reasons for remarriage to children so that children can be more accepting of their stepparents. On the other hand, adolescents who have stepparents are expected to always learn to open up, obey stepparents, and accept their existence as caregivers and educators in the family. The existence of a reciprocal relationship between parents and stepchildren is expected to establish good family relations between the two.

Exploring the Differences in Innovative Work Behavior and Workforce Agility Between Korean and Indonesian Employees: A Cross-cultural Study in a South Korea FDI Company
Authors: Muzayyanah Nurul , . Djudiyah
Published: February 2024

The expansion of South Korean foreign direct investment companies in Indonesia has led to the possibility of cultural challenges arising among workers in multinational corporations. Additionally, there are notable differences in the innovation and agility indexes of Indonesia and South Korea in 2022. These disparities in performance may perpetuate stereotypes that suggest that innovation and agility are unique qualities exhibited by employees from each respective country. The objective of this study is to investigate whether there exist variations in the innovative work behavior and workforce agility of Indonesian and South Korean employees who work in the same organization as part of cross-cultural research. The theoretical framework for this research is Hofstede’s cultural dimensions theory, specifically the dimensions of long-term orientation and Stereotype Threat Theory, which are used to explain the phenomenon. This study used a quantitative approach and had 30 participants who worked at a South Korean FDI company. The participants were chosen through convenience sampling. The research tools included the innovative work behavior scale and the workforce agility scale. Data were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney U-Test and descriptive analysis. Based on the research findings, it appears that employees from different cultural backgrounds working in the same organization do not exhibit significant differences in terms of their innovative work behavior and workforce agility. This was observed in a case study conducted at a South Korean FDI company located in East Java.

The research instruments used were the “New Inventory of Adolescents’ Strengths”(NIAS) and the “chen internet addiction scale short version”(CIAS-10). Data analysis was performed using Pearson’s product–moment correlation, t-tests, and ANOVA. The results of the study revealed the following: (1) Adolescents scored highest in character strengths related to “Gratitude,” “Emotion Self-awareness,” and “Love,” while approximately 20.0% of students showed a tendency toward internet addiction; (2) Female participants demonstrated higher strengths in the dimensions of “Empathy,” “Gratitude,” “PersonMaking,” and “Love,” but no significant gender differences were found regarding internet addiction; (3) “Self-esteem,” “Emotion Self-awareness,” “Perseverance,” and “Self-control” exhibited a strong negative correlation with internet addiction. These findings provide a foundational basis for further research into the relationship between character strengths and internet addiction among adolescents. Strengthening specific character strengths may potentially contribute to reducing levels of internet addiction.

The family is the first and most important place for human interaction. Parents are the most important interaction objects. Numerous studies have pointed out that parenting styles can have a large and long-term impact on children. Several studies have linked parenting styles to emotional intelligence and resilience in children and adolescents. However, fewer studies have explored whether parenting styles are associated with college students’ emotional intelligence and resilience. In addition, few studies have explored whether socioeconomic status is related to emotional intelligence and/or resilience. Therefore, this study takes 210 college students aged 18–23 years as research participants to explore the relationship between these variables. The instruments are Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI), Two-factor Index of Social Position, Inventory of Adolescent Resilience (IAR), and Emotion Management Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis. The findings suggest that parenting styles are associated with emotional intelligence. However, resilience is related to the caring dimension of parenting styles, but not the control dimension. Similar result was also found in socioeconomic status. The developmental changes of these variables and their mechanisms still need further research to explore.

Klasik Türk Şairlerinde “Melâmet Giysisi”
Authors: ÇETİN Kamile
Published: February 2024

Melâmet yolu, her şeyden önce kötülüklerini sergileyip iyiliklerini perdeleyerek kınanmak suretiyle nefsi arındırmayı, Allah’ın rızasına saf ve pak hâlde ulaşmayı benimseyen bir öğreti olmuştur. Bu sayede gösteriş içeren kıyafetlerin, bir kısım zikirlerin, âyinlerin yer aldığı alışılmış uygulamalar önemsiz görülerek terk edilmiştir. Buna mukabil, nefsin ayıplanması suretiyle halktan uzaklaşılıp Hakk’a yaklaşma yolu seçilmiştir. Melâmîlik, her türlü dünyevî şatafattan uzak, bütünüyle sade bir düşünüş ve yaşam tarzının adı olmuştur. Böylesi bir anlayışı benimseyen Melâmîler’in Horasan’dan başlattıkları yolculuk, toplumun hemen her alanına uzanmıştır. Bu bağlamda, hayata dair birçok malzemeden istifade eden Klâsik Türk şiiri de nasibini almıştır. Bahsi geçen şiir geleneğinin beslendiği en önemli kaynaklardan birinin tasavvuf olması da bunda etkili olmuştur.
Klâsik Türk edebiyatı şairleri, tasavvufa dair diğer anlayışlarda olduğu gibi, Melâmî olmasalar da Melâmetîliği içselleştirmişler, onun terminolojisinden geniş şekilde istifade etmişlerdir. Neticede de hem tasavvufa dayalı şahsî birikimlerini hem de mensubu oldukları edebiyat geleneğinin tasavvufî malzemesini Melâmîlik ilkeleri üzerinde inşa etmişlerdir. Her ne kadar kendisine mahsus kıyafetleri olmasa da, Melâmetîliği bazı giysi veya aksesuarlarla ilişkilendirmişlerdir. Bunun bir sonucu olarak da rint ve âşık kimliğindeki şairler, dünya rahatlığından Melâmete geçişte her türlü gösterişi bir kenara bırakmışlar, sadece Melâmet giysisine bürünmüşlerdir. Böylelikle kendilerini “Melâmet sultanları” olarak takdim etmişlerdir. Böylesi bir giysiye bürünenler, başkaları tarafından taşlanmaya, kınanma oklarına maruz kalmaya ve her türlü zorluğa göğüs gerebilmişler, nefislerini dünyevî kıyafetlerin gösterişinden arındırmışlardır. Divanlardan yapılan taramalar neticesinde “abâ, cübbe, delk, gömlek/pîrehen, hırka, hil’at, kisvet, libâs, nemed, şâl, tâc, ton (don)” şiirlerde Melâmet kavramıyla münasebete getirilen unsurlar olarak tespit edilmiştir. Makalede tasavvufî bağlamda Melâmet öğretisini içeren bu kavramların Melametî ilkeler doğrultusunda analizi yapılmıştır. Çalışmada, yukarıda zikredilen ve Melâmetle ilişkilendirilen her bir giyim kuşam unsurunun beyitlerde ne tür ilgiler dâhilinde ele aldıkları ortaya konulmuştur.
Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Continuous Metabolic Syndrome in Adolescents with Overweight/Obesity

Introduction: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is the leading cause of pediatric chronic liver disease. Although nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is closely associated with obesity, its relationship with metabolic syndrome in children is not fully understood. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the association between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and a combination of cardiometabolic risk factors in adolescents with overweight/obesity, using a pediatric metabolic syndrome score (PsiMS) to predict metabolic syndrome.Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Subjects with overweight/obesity aged 10 to 17 followed at two clinical centers in Portugal (2018 - 2021) were enrolled. The independent association of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease with PsiMS, and of other potential predictors, was tested through multiple regression analyses. Receiver operator characteristic curve analysis was performed to estimate the optimal cutoff of PsiMS to discriminate metabolic syndrome.Results: Eighty-four subjects were included (median age at baseline 11.5 years). The prevalence rate of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease was 51% and the prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome was 7%. The mean PsiMS was 2.05 ± 0.48 at the first evaluation, and 2.11 ± 0.52 at the last evaluation (mean follow-up time was 15 months). The nonalcoholic fatty liver disease group had significantly (p < 0.05) higher weight and body mass index z-scores, higher rate of severe obesity and higher waist circumference percentile. PsiMS was highly accurate in predicting metabolic syndrome (area under the curve = 0.96), with an optimal cutoff of 2.46 (sensitivity 100%, specificity 89%). In the univariate analysis, no statistically significant association was observed between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and PsiMS. In the multiple regression analysis, female sex had a negative association with PsiMS (first and last evaluation). Independent predictors of a higher PsiMS at first evaluation were: ≥ 2 metabolic syndrome criteria, body mass index z-score, insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. At the last evaluation, independent predictors of a higher PsiMS were: nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, baseline PsiMS and body mass index increase from baseline.Conclusion: The results suggest a good performance of the PsiMS to assess metabolic syndrome and that nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is associated with PsiMS at follow-up.

A presente edição da Revista MODOS: Revista de História da Arte conta com dezesseis textos inéditos e uma entrevista. Destacamos os artigos do dossiê "Arte vulnerável: coleções, histórias, pesquisa, exposições". Os textos selecionados se focam nas relações entre arte, política e ideologia, que contribuiriam para a criação e o desenvolvimento de novas subjetividades e ordens simbólicas, opondo-se tanto à hegemonia cultural quanto a uma arte supostamente apolítica como força antagônica. Abarcam temporalidades e geografias diversas, discutem espaços institucionais e/ou alternativos, exposições, obras e objetos diversificados, construindo assim um amplo panorama sobre o tema. Destaque-se a entrevista com Thomas Röske, atual Diretor da Coleção Prinzhorn, da Universidade de Heidelberg.

Published: February 2024

O presente artigo discute a alocação de recursos públicos nas políticas culturais e a importância do uso de indicadores para a compreensão da realidade cultural dos municípios. Utilizando a metodologia da Design Science Research, os dados dos gastos públicos em cultura das prefeituras do Rio Grande do Sul, entre os anos de 2017 a 2019, foram processados ​​por meio de um algoritmo que permitiu a criação de seis indicadores úteis para compreender as políticas culturais alocativas. Os resultados demonstram que os indicadores criados podem aprimorar a gestão cultural, incentivar a transparência e permitir o uso de tecnologias avançadas para obter respostas sobre a distribuição de recursos, a diversidade cultural e o impacto econômico das políticas culturais efetuadas pelas administrações municipais.
Entre modernidade e tradição
Authors: Almeida Isabella Maria de Oliveira
Published: February 2024

O presente artigo é uma análise sobre a linha tênue entre a ideia de progresso, em voga no começo do século XX em contraste com as ideias preservacionistas que também se fortaleceram no mesmo período no Brasil. No centro desse debate, encontra-se o Serviço do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional, órgão centralizador das práticas preservacionistas do período, criado em 1936. Através da análises de periódicos e manchetes da época (1940-1960) buscou-se interpretar como essas disputas se desenrolavam no âmbito social e como a instituição, representante de uma política nacionalista, se equilibrava entre o moderno e o tradicional.
