De uma Epistemologia clássica à ideia de uma inteligência pública das Ciências
Authors:   Université Lyon 2, Robert André , Guimaraes Michele Hidemi Ueno ,   Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto
Published: February 2024

Com relação ao que alguns autores têm chamado de “modo 1 do conhecimento”, afirma-se uma concepção diferencialista da atividade de pesquisa, à qual nos encontramos ligados majoritariamente: as instituições de pesquisa dominantes são as universidades e as disciplinas se apresentam claramente separadas; aí predominam epistemologias de ruptura, que podem ser referidas ao modelo bachelardiano. Se não é questão de renunciar às contribuições essenciais dessas posições epistemológicasem nossas práticas de pesquisadores em Ciências Sociais, não podemos, contudo, ignorar o que estes mesmos autores designaram como “modo 2” do conhecimento e a sociedade característica do período contemporâneo. Isto se manifesta, entre outros, com o advento de várias formas de anti-diferencialismo concernentes à atividade de pesquisa (como atestam inúmeras obras dentro da Sociologia da Ciência). Os autores enfatizam ainda um lugar importante, a intervenção agora permanente de “agora” e dos cidadãos. Nossa contribuição examina a relação entre esses dois modos de conhecimento, e discute as questões colocadas pelo o que se desenha hoje em torno de expressões como “Ciências cidadãs”, “Ciências participativas”, “community based research”.

Apresentação do Dossier Decolonialidade da Educação: propostas para uma nova geopolítica do conhecimento.
Por um projeto insurgente e resistente de decolonialidade da universidade latino-americana
Authors:   Universidade Nove de Julho (UNINOVE), Severino António Joaquim , Tavares Manuel ,   Universidade Nove de Julho (UNINOVE)
Published: February 2024

O presente texto tem por objetivo fazer uma reflexão e análise sobre as implicações da colonização na destruição das culturas dos povos originários da América Latina pela imposição de um modelo de racionalidade e epistemológico de caráter eurocêntrico. O processo de colonização gerou a colonialidade, conceito mais abrangente e mais profundo do que o de colonização. Colonialidade do poder, das mentes, do conhecimento, do gênero, da sexualidade. Construídas no âmbito e por influência da cultura europeia, as instituições de educação superior, vêm reproduzindo os modelos de racionalidade de herança europeia, primeiro e, posteriormente, também norte-americana. A proposta de decolonialidade e sua relação com o conceito e prática da interculturalidade crítica, constitui uma opção política com implicações pedagógicas, epistemológicas e ontológicas.
Encounters of cultures in doctoral supervision: productive or problematic?
Authors:   Universidade de Aveiro, Pinto Susana
Published: February 2024

In the ambit of higher education internationalization, Portuguese universities have been receiving an increasing number of students from Portuguese-Speaking countries (CPLP), namely at the level of Ph.D. studies that pose questions related to the intercultural dimension of doctoral supervision. Research in Portugal concerning this issue is scarce and this paper focused on Ph.D. students from the CPLP and their supervisors in the Department of Education and Psychology of the University of Aveiro, intends to answer the following questions: in the situation of intercultural doctoral supervision in which both students and supervisors are engaged, what cultural encounters occur? Are these encounters productive or problematic? Semi-structured interviews were conducted with twelve students and eight supervisors. Results from thematic analysis indicate that different cultural encounters do occur between pedagogical/academic cultures; linguistic backgrounds; research and knowledge cultures and communication/relational cultures. Both students and supervisors acknowledge that these encounters bring about potentials (productive view) and constraints (problematic view) which will be discussed.
A Geopolítica do Conhecimento e a Diferença Colonial
Authors:   Duke University, Mignolo Walter D.
Published: February 2024

Este ensaio* tem por objetivo fazer uma reflexão crítica sobre a modernidade e o modo como o Ocidente a tem entendido. A partir de alguns autores da América Latina, como Dussel e Quijano, que avançam com os conceitos de transmodernidade e colonialidade, respetivamente, e do diálogo com Wallerstein, reassume-se a tese de que a modernidade não é um fenómeno estritamente europeu, mas antes planetário, para o qual os “bárbaros excluídos” contribuíram, ainda que o seu contributo não tenha sido reconhecido. Introduzimos o conceito de diferença colonial com o objetivo de ampliar os conceitos de transmodernidade e de colonialidade do poder. A geopolítica do conhecimento organiza-se em torno da diversificação, através da história, das diferenças coloniais e imperiais. No final do artigo introduzimos a visão de Slavoj Žižek sobre “eurocentrismo à esquerda”.

Metodología orientada a identificar las soluciones tecnológico-constructivas más frecuentes de la envolvente edilicia para mejorar su eficiencia energética
Authors: Barbero Dante Andrés , Urteneche Emilia , Martini Irene
Published: February 2024

La edilicia construida representa más de un tercio del consumo de energía final a nivel mundial y casi el 40% del total de las emisiones directas e indirectas de CO2. La demanda de este sector se debe principalmente al uso de equipos para climatización, los cuales guardan relación con la envolvente edilicia pues allí se produce el intercambio de calor entre el espacio interior y el entorno. Así, mejorar el consumo energético de los edificios existentes mediante medidas de eficiencia de la envolvente representa una oportunidad para ahorrar costes y energía. Este trabajo presenta una metodología que utiliza um método de minería de datos, las reglas de asociación, para identificar las soluciones tecnológico-constructivas más frecuentes en la envolvente de los edificios. Esto permite sugerir medidas específicas para las soluciones más frecuentes con el objetivo de mejorar su eficiencia energética y, a la vez, facilitar su implementación en forma masiva.
Revisiting phase change: Ontogenetic and physiological ageing in vegetative propagation
Authors: Leakey Roger R. B.
Published: February 2024

For centuries, stem cuttings harvested from sexually mature trees have been recognized to be more difficult to root than those from juvenile shoots. This has been poorly understood and attributed to a combination of ontogenetic and physiological ageing. The recent suggestion that micro-RNA may play a key role in phase change has stimulated a re-examination of some old data that identified pre-severance light x nutrient interactions affecting the rooting ability of stem cuttings. This was linked to vigorous growth and active photosynthesis without constraint from accumulated starch. Support for the prime importance of physiological factors was also obtained when seeking to induce physiological youth in the crowns of ontogenetically mature trees by the induction of roots within the tree crown. Meanwhile, at the other end of the phase change spectrum, floral initiation occurred when the opposite set of environmental conditions prevailed so that growth was stunted, and carbohydrates accumulated in leaves and stems. A re-examination of this literature suggests that rooting ability is driven at the level of an individual leaf and internode emerging from the terminal bud affecting both morphological and physiological activity. In contrast, flowering occurs when internode elongation and assimilate mobilization were hindered. It is therefore suggested that the concepts of juvenility and ageing are not relevant to vegetative propagation and should instead be replaced by physiological and morphological ‘fitness’ to root.
Evaluation of the infrazygomatic crest and mandibular buccal shelf in different sagittal skeletal patterns: a cone-beam computed tomography study
Authors: Seker Elif Dilara , Kaymakcioglu Elif , Sahin Serife , Kurt Gokmen
Published: February 2024

Objectives

To compare bone thickness, bone height, and density in the infrazygomatic crest (IZC) and the mandibular buccal shelf (MBS) associated with different sagittal skeletal patterns.

Material and Methods

This retrospective study included three groups of which a Class I group consisted of 28 patients (24 female, 4 male, mean age: 26.46 ± 6.1), a Class II group comprised 31 patients (28 female, 3 male, mean age: 30.08 ± 5.9), and a Class III group included 26 patients (22 female, 4 male, mean age: 26.21 ± 5.3). Evaluations of bone characteristics were performed for both the IZC and MBS using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Maxillary length and mandibular body length were also measured on lateral cephalograms. One-way ANOVA, chi-squared, and Spearman’s correlation tests were applied for statistical analysis.

Results

The Class II group showed significantly greater bone thickness at the distal root level of the maxillary second molar in IZC (p < 0.05). While bone thickness showed no statistically significant difference in the MBS between the groups (p > 0.05), the Class II group showed significantly higher bone height values at the distal root level of the mandibular second molar in the MBS (p < 0.05). A statistically significant increase from the mesial aspect to the distal aspect was observed in total bone thickness in the Class I group and total bone thickness and height in the Class II and III groups in the MBS. The mandibular body length and SNB values were positively correlated with the total bone thickness and bone height of the MBS.

Conclusions

Bone thickness in the IZC and bone density in both the IZC and MBS were similar in the different sagittal skeletal patterns. Total bone thickness in the Class I and III groups and the total bone height in the Class II group showed a gradual increase from the mesial to the distal in the MBS. The length of the mandibular body may be a clinical clue to assist in the selection of the appropriate implantation area.
Research funding and citations in papers of Nobel Laureates in Physics, Chemistry and Medicine, 2019-2020
Authors: Coccia Mario , Roshani Saeed
Published: February 2024

Purpose

The goal of this study is a comparative analysis of the relation between funding (a main driver for scientific research) and citations in papers of Nobel Laureates in physics, chemistry and medicine over 2019-2020 and the same relation in these research fields as a whole.

Design/Methodology/Approach

This study utilizes a power law model to explore the relationship between research funding and citations of related papers. The study here analyzes 3,539 recorded documents by Nobel Laureates in physics, chemistry and medicine and a broader dataset of 183,016 documents related to the fields of physics, medicine, and chemistry recorded in the Web of Science database.

Findings

Results reveal that in chemistry and medicine, funded researches published in papers of Nobel Laureates have higher citations than unfunded studies published in articles; vice versa high citations of Nobel Laureates in physics are for unfunded studies published in papers. Instead, when overall data of publications and citations in physics, chemistry and medicine are analyzed, all papers based on funded researches show higher citations than unfunded ones.

Originality/Value

Results clarify the driving role of research funding for science diffusion that are systematized in general properties: a) articles concerning funded researches receive more citations than (un)funded studies published in papers of physics, chemistry and medicine sciences, generating a high Matthew effect (a higher growth of citations with the increase in the number of papers); b) research funding increases the citations of articles in fields oriented to applied research (e.g., chemistry and medicine) more than fields oriented towards basic research (e.g., physics).

Practical Implications

The results here explain some characteristics of scientific development and diffusion, highlighting the critical role of research funding in fostering citations and the expansion of scientific knowledge. This finding can support decisionmaking of policymakers and R&D managers to improve the effectiveness in allocating financial resources in science policies to generate a higher positive scientific and societal impact.
Geo-Economic Fragmentation in the Context of Digitalization: Formation of New Contours of the World’s Macroeconomic System and Russia’s Sustainability Under Sanctions Attacks
Authors: Bakhtizin A. R.
Published: February 2024

The article considers the phenomenon of geo-economic fragmentation in the context of digitalization of social life and in the formation of new contours of the macroeconomic system. Particular attention is paid to Russia’s sustainability in the conditions of sanctions attacks. The author analyzes the data presented by major in­ternational organizations, predicting the consequences of global tectonic processes. The study highlights the problems arising from growing debt, limited resources and increasing global population. It is noted that in these conditions the US often initiates quick decisions, such as redistribution of commodity markets, which leads to complex consequences for the whole world. The article considers the problem of the emergence of macro-regions and crystallization of new poles in the global macroeconomic sys­tem, and assesses the possibility of forming a multipolar world. The conclusion is that international organizations forecast short- and medium-term geo-economic fragmen­tation, and the reconfiguration of ties and the division of the world into macro-regions are unable to lead to a sharp decline in macroeconomic indicators, which is confirmed by the analysis of trade relations between different countries and regions.

Authors: Hardjanto Nadhira Nurlathifah , Triman Arif
Published: February 2024

Personality is one of the development tasks of adolescents that happened during transition to adulthood. One of the popular theories of personality is Big Five Personality. Parenting styles is one of the factors that affect personality on adolescents. This study aims to see the relationship between parenting styles and big five personality in adolescents. This study uses quantitative methods with accidental sampling technique. Total of participants in this study was 202 adolescents. The instrument that used in this study was the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ) to measure parenting styles and Big Five Inventory (BFI) to measure big five personality. This study uses the Spearman correlation test technique with the results that authoritative parenting has a positive and significant relationship with openness to experience (0.157 p<0.05), conscientiousness (0.229 p<0.01), extraversion (0.216 p<0.01), and agreeableness (0.203 p<0.01) and had a negative and significant relationship with neuroticism (-0.265 p<0.001). The results of authoritarian parenting have a positive and significant relationship with neuroticism (0.038 p<0.05). This shows that the more parents apply authoritative parenting, the more dominant openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, and agreeableness personality traits on adolescents. On the other hand, the more parents apply authoritarian parenting, the more dominant the neuroticism personality trait is.

Eliot's floristic symbolism in “Gerontion” and 'The Waste Land'. The form and essence of modernist symbols will be investigated to trigger profound and subconscious feelings in the reader, concentrating on the terminological and conceptual elements of the topic. The significance of flowering Judas, dogwood, chestnut, hyacinth, and lilac in Eliot's “Gerontion” and “The Waste Land” have been interpreted and explored using analytical, historical, and archetypal approaches as the “Gerontion” intended by the poet to be a prelude to “The Waste Land”. Textual and analytical research has been conducted to demonstrate the unusual utilisation of five flora referred to in ''Gerontion'' and ''The Waste Land''. The poems' texts and theoretical and historical sources have been examined to collect the required data for the paper. One of the most essential research objectives of the paper is to find out how these blossoms were used symbolically in two of Eliot's poems. In various contexts of the poem (historical, biographical, mythological, cultural, anthropological, etc.), the symbolic and common meanings of each flower has been investigated.
الأحاديث النبوية الشريفة ذوات الكلمتين. قراءة في دلالة الإيجاز
Authors: غني منى عدنان
Published: February 2024

يتناول البحث بالدراسة نماذج فريدة من البلاغة النبوية، وهي الأحاديث النبوية الشريفة التي تألفت من كلمتين فقط، في صحيح البخاري أو صحيح مسلم أو فيهما معا. وتأتي أهمية البحث من قدرة تلك الأحاديث على التعبير عن معانٍ شاملة ومفاهيم جامعة؛ مع كونها موجزة اللفظ قصيرة العبارة، وتحقق ذلك بفضل دقة لغوية تعبيرية ، أما بالجملة الاسمية الدالة على الثبوت والاتّسام بالصفة على وجهٍ دائمٍ مستقرٍ، أو بالجملة الفعلية إذا كان مقصد الكلام متعلّقا بزمن مقصود بعينه، أو مرتبطاً بطلبٍ أو نهيٍ، أو قُصِدت الدلالة على معنى متجدد مع تغير الأزمان.
    إن الإيجاز هو سمة من أهم سمات التعبير في العربية، وقد التزمه البلغاء فيها، وكان وجوده في الجملة القرآنية الكريمة، والحديث النبوي الشريف مصداقاً للحكم بالبلاغة وروعة البيان، وقد عالج البحث الوسائل التي وقع فيها إيجاز تلك الأحاديث الشريفة، من خلال بيان وجه الإيجاز في نوعيه: إيجاز الحذف وإيجاز القصر، وظهر بالاستقراء أن إيجاز القصر هو الأكثر وجودا في تلك الأحاديث، وهو يستند إلى وسائل الشمول والعموم اللغوي، ومظاهر الاكتفاء والاختزال في الجملة كالإحالة والإشاريات واستعمال الألفاظ ذوات الدلالة المشتركة على المعاني المتعددة .
عرض البحث لتلك الوسائل من خلال تحليل أركان جمل تلك الأحاديث وظهر أنها تتحدد في ثلاثة مضامين أساسية هي : تحديد الحكم الشرعي و المواعظ والوصايا وتقرير الحقائق المبدئية، ودلّت صياغتها على حسن بيانه صلى الله عليه وسلم ورفعة بلاغته مع ما ينتج عن إيجاز العبارة من سرعة التلقي عنه صلى الله عليه وسلم وسهولة الحفظ ورسوخ الأفكار.
Dysphonia as a Speech Disorder
Authors: Salih Darun Abdulrahman
Published: February 2024

Oral communication is one of the most important forms of communication. It is through which the speaker directly delivers the content of the verbal message to the addressee. Usually, the existence of any defect or disorder in the speaker’s vocal cords may result in not delivering the message properly. One of the problems that cause such improper delivery of a verbal message is voice disorders, especially voice hoarseness (Dysphonia). Thus, this paper is entitled (Dysphonia as a Speech Disorder), which refers to the changes occurring in the speaker’s voice that are marked as disorders compared to the normal patterns.  Such disorder occurs due to a defect in the elements needed for the process of voice production in a healthy person. This disorder is not confined to a specific age group. It can occur at any age, from childhood onwards, and it may be a temporary or chronic disorder.

Speech disorders and their treatment methods are often approached in the domain of applied linguistics, and dysphonia is one of those voice disorders that have not received ample attention from researchers in general, and speech pathologists in particular, despite the steady increase in the number of cases day after day due to several factors including the noise pollution and crowdedness in cities, and some everyday duties that cause injury, which then can be an effective factor for this disorder to occur.

Hence, this study is determined to introduce the most important modern trends in rehabilitating voice disorders and presenting methods for curing them.

Amid the recent cannabis legalization in Thailand, this research captured and analyzed cannabis-related health risk perception among Thai cannabis users. This study used a cross-sectional design with 376 Thailand-based cannabis users recruited through an anonymous online survey from July to August 2022 using the SurveyMonkey application. Descriptive analysis and ordinary least squares regression analysis were performed to describe overall respondents’ characteristics and to identify predictors of low cannabis health-risk perception. Out of 376 respondents, 24.2% perceived cannabis as not risky for health, 46% considered cannabis as low risk, 26.6% as moderate risk, 2.7% as high risk, and 0.5% as most risky. Perceived risk of using cannabis was lower among respondents who had a higher perceived benefit of using cannabis (β = -0.133), a lower education level (β = -0.342), were full-time employed (β = -0.271,) and used cannabis more than twenty days in the past month compared to their counterparts (β = -0.373). Our results suggest that using cannabis in any form and frequency is perceived as a no to low health risk consumption by Thai cannabis users, calling for additional prevention and cannabis health literacy efforts.
The historical aspect of the transformation of the International Union of Journalists
Authors: Shafir Timur Vladimirovich , Kulakova Darina Vladlenovna , Nikonov Sergey Borisovich
Published: February 2024

The scientific article is a study on the history of the creation of the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ). The article presents an analysis of the history of the creation and development of the IFJ. The authors pay special attention to the reasons and prerequisites underlying the emergence of the International Federation of Journalists, as well as expand the data on the creation of the IFJ. The study draws attention to the circumstances that led to the establishment of the IFJ in the post-war period. Special attention is paid to the influence of geopolitical factors on the formation and development of the organization. The consideration of the reasons for the split of the MOJ includes differentiated approaches and strategies adopted by various participating countries, in particular, in the context of the professional activities of journalists. The data on the current state of affairs of the Russian Union of Journalists as part of the International Federation of Journalists are presented. The research methods used include historical analysis: the study of historical documents, archival materials, protocols of congresses related to the creation and development of the IFJ. A content analysis of the texts of articles, statements and reports related to organizations was carried out in order to identify key topics, approaches and dynamics in their activities. The novelty of this study lies in the fact that there are very few such materials in the scientific literature devoted to the history of journalism in Russia, and they mainly concerned the regions of Russia and the development of regional journalism. The main conclusion of this study is the understanding that currently non-governmental international organizations formed on the principles of professionalism are changing and becoming similar to political organizations, which in turn can lead to a split in these organizations and the termination of their existence. After Russia launched a special military operation in February 2022, the unions of journalists of Finland, Norway, Denmark and Iceland announced their intention to leave IFJ due to the presence of the national Union of Journalists of the Russian Federation in it. In February 2023, despite the fact that the organization claims that it is not connected with politics, but is exclusively engaged in protecting the rights of journalists, the IFJ "froze" the membership of the Russian Federation in the organization. It will be possible to return to the issue of Russia's return to work as part of the International Federation of Journalists only in 2026, if necessary.
