Authors: Graeml Alexandre Reis , Peinado Jurandir , Segura Daniel Glaser
Published: November 2023

Este artigo apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa survey, realizada com gerentes industriais de 248 empresas da Argentina, Brasil e Romênia, a qual investiga a influência da cultura dos países onde estão localizadas sobre a cultura organizacional, a competitividade e o coletivismo/individu-alismo, a partir do que se pode esperar vantagens comparativas determinadas pela localização. A identificação das dimensões sobre o trabalho em grupo e o trabalho individual ocorreu por meio da análise fatorial. A partir daí foi utilizado o país de origem para verificar, por meio de uma AN-COVA, a influência dessa variável sobre a forma como os indivíduos de uma determinada cultura trabalham. Entre outras constatações, descobriu-se uma ligeira ênfase dos respondentes de empre-sas romenas na necessidade de se adotar uma postura mais competitiva e individualista, comparati-vamente aos respondentes de organizações brasileiras e argentinas. Paradoxalmente, os resultados da pesquisa apontaram que, apesar de os três países incluírem traços que favorecem o coletivismo na cultura organizacional, a Romênia é onde mais se valoriza o trabalho em equipe.

Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT: Backyards are family settings adjacent to the house, characterized mainly by being small-scale and diversified productive spaces. The research typologically characterized the backyards and their contribution to family food security in La Concordia municipality, Chiapas, Mexico. The research was descriptive and mixed, quantitative, and qualitative, and semi-structured interviews were applied to 130 families. For the typification, 21 variables were used, and the statistical techniques of Factorial Analysis and Clusters were applied. The cases studied were classified, according to the relevance of their production and contribution to food security, into two general groups: a) a group of backyards that is more productive and contributes to food security, which in turn includes three subtypes of backyards that differ from each other by their profile towards vegetable or poultry production for subsistence, and/or pigs as a form of savings; b) a group of less productive backyards in which other management strategies for food security are assumed and differ from each other by the level of expulsion of labor force and types of families, nuclear or extended. Poultry and plant species for multiple uses was the most frequently characteristic, regardless of the type of backyard.

In this study, the nematicidal activity of essential oils and extracts of Origanum syriacum var. bevanii (Holmes) (Lamiales: Lamiaceae) and Rhododendron ponticum L. (Ericales: Ericaceae) against the second-stage juveniles (J2s) of Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid & White, 1919) (Rhabditida: Meloidogynidae) were evaluated in Petri dish and pot experiments. The essential oils and extracts were applied directly to J2s at concentrations of 5 and 10% (w/v). The mortality of J2s of M. incognita was recorded 24, 48, and 72 hours after treatments. The results showed that a 100% mortality rate was obtained from both concentrations (5 and 10%) of O. syriacum var. bevanii essential oil application. Moreover, the pot experiment showed that O. syriacum var. bevanii essential oil (5%) (w/v) and O. syriacum var. bevanii extract (10%) was more effective against the J2s of M. incognita on tomato plants. Results were promising in terms of testing the effects of essential oil and extracts obtained from the determined plants in laboratory conditions against M. incognita.

Authors: ACOĞLU Büşra , YOLCI ÖMEROĞLU Perihan
Published: November 2023

The goal of this study was to assess the residues of some insecticides (abamectin, buprofezin, etoxazole) applied on the lemon fruits during its cultivation and to investigate the consequence of household processing such as peeling, jam production, freezing and storage on the residues. A multi-residual analysis method based on QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe) procedure and liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry was used. Mean recovery (measure of trueness; 70-120%), precision (as repeatability and interim precision relative standard deviation <20%) and limit of quantification (0.01 mg/kg < MRLs) were in accordance with the criteria set in the international guideline. Lemon samples were purchased from Bursa markets in April 2018. The experimental studies and statistical evaluations were conducted at Bursa University Agriculture Faculty (Bursa -Türkiye) between 5 May 2018-30 July 2022. The results revealed that pesticide residues mostly dispersed on the peel, therefore, peeling step decreased the residue level by 90-100% in the pulp of the fruit. Fruit juice and jam production operations decreased the residue level by 87- 100%. Processing factors were less than 1 for fruit juice and jam processing, on the other hand, it was greater than 1 for the separation, grating, freezing and storage of the peels.

Authors: GONDOBWE Munyaradzı , DEMİR Aydın
Published: November 2023

In this study, a numerical progressive collapse response evaluation was performed on a 40-story high-rise building designed according to the Turkish Earthquake Code of 2018 (TEC-2018). The alternate path method specified in the General Services Administration of 2016 (GSA2016) and the Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC 4-023-03) was used for the evaluation. A total of 18 scenarios were investigated for column and shear wall removals. In the cases where hinges were observed, the extent of damage was evaluated using the performance criteria given in the Turkish Seismic Code and the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) 41-17. In this study, the most damage was observed when the corner column was removed at the bottom floor, while the least damage was observed on the shear walls close to the center and core of the building. For all the scenarios evaluated, no collapse was observed. The study deduced that the high-rise building designed according to TEC-2018 showed sufficient resistance to progressive collapse.

Authors: UÇACAK Kemal
Published: November 2023

Araştırmanın amacı, Yükseköğretim Kurulunun (YÖK) uyguladığı akademik performans denetiminin üniversitelerin akademik performansı üzerindeki etkilerini anlamaktır. Araştırmada öncelikle YÖK’ün performans denetimi bulguları doğrultusunda, denetlenen üniversitelerin değişiklik yapıp yapmadıkları araştırılmıştır. Bu kapsamda, YÖK tarafından yayımlanan resmi raporlar, betimsel analiz yöntemi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Daha sonra, YÖK’ün uyguladığı akademik performans denetiminin, denetlenen üniversitelerin akademik performansını olumlu etkileyip etkilemediği araştırılmıştır. Bu kapsamda, YÖK tarafından olağan şekilde performansı denetlenen üniversitelerin akademik performans puanının, denetlenmeyenlere kıyasla anlamlı bir farklılık gösterip göstermediği tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, her yıl olağan şekilde denetlenen üniversitelerin önemli ölçüde değişiklik yapma eğilimi gösterdikleri anlaşılmıştır. Başka bir ifadeyle, denetlenen üniversiteler, YÖK denetçilerinin tavsiyelerini büyük ölçüde uygulamışlardır. Ayrıca YÖK’ün akademik performans denetim bulgularına istinaden yükseköğretim alanında önemli mevzuat düzenlemeleri yapıldığı görülmüştür. Ancak YÖK’ün gerçekleştirdiği akademik performans denetiminin, denetlenen üniversitelerin akademik performansına olumlu etki etmediği anlaşılmıştır. Nitekim YÖK tarafından olağan şekilde denetlenen üniversitelerin akademik performans puanının, olağan şekilde denetlenmeyenlerin puanından daha düşük olduğu görülmüştür.

Published: November 2023

OBJETIVO: Identificar a percepção de autoeficácia em papéis de gênero masculino e feminino e quais diferenças poderiam existir em relação à criação dos filhos. MÉTODO: A abordagem quantitativa foi utilizada como escolha para a análise do estudo; participaram 200 pais, sendo 107 mães e 93 pais, com idade de 21 a 40 anos, com filhos em idade de 0 a 3 anos. Com o estudo aprovado na Comissão de Ética de Pesquisa da Plataforma Brasil, os participantes responderam, além de questões sociodemográficas, a escala de autoeficácia parental (The Self-efficacy for Parenting Tasks Índex – Toddler Scale). RESULTADOS: Observou-se que as mães têm percepção de autoeficácia diferente dos pais; enquanto para elas houve um peso maior nas dimensões responsividade empática, ensino e cuidados práticos, para eles as dimensões proteção e disciplina e estabelecimento de limites foram as que mais escore obtiveram. CONCLUSÃO: A pesquisa confirma o que já foi encontrado em outros estudos que demonstram a previsibilidade de atitudes de pais e mães, que podem estar relacionadas à cultura e a um comportamento socialmente construído; apesar da limitação de não ter analisado diferenças na perspectiva de gênero, espera-se que essa pesquisa possa contribuir em práticas educativas e psicológicas diferentes para ambos os grupos.
Contemporary considerations of the utility of self-cleaning coatings for solar power installations-The SolarSkin system
Authors: Nikolaos D Papadopoulos , Paraskevi Vourna , S Xafakis , Polyxeni Vourna
Published: November 2023

Soiling of conventional Photovoltaic (PV) modules and Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) mirrors significantly affects the efficiency of the system. Although there are several soiling mitigation strategies, none of them has been widely adopted, since effectiveness in real field conditions is often disputed. Anti-soiling coatings are perhaps the most promising solution for solar power projects since they combine low cost and effectiveness. These are broadly categorized into hydrophilic and hydrophobic. Hydrophilic coatings perform better in arid climates, whereas hydrophobic coatings have a wider spectrum of functionality. Most of them however suffer from various drawbacks, such as poor durability and transmittance which restrict the extent of benefits. In addition, there are only a few reliable technologies that can be retrofitted to existing installations. Predicting the efficiency of a given anti-soiling coating in a specific plant is difficult, therefore, the objective of this work was to identify those parameters that are critical to their performance in real outdoor conditions. Focus was given to the drawbacks of current hydrophobic coating systems and the requirements that a modern anti-soiling coating should satisfy in order to be implemented as an effective after-market solution to degraded solar systems. A prominent example of cutting-edge, high-performing self-cleaning technology, i.e. the SolarSkin system developed by BFP Advanced Technologies, is additionally presented. The latter can renovate deteriorated solar collectors, increase the energy yield of the system, and protect it from weathering effects over its expected operational lifecycle. Potential increment of the system’s efficacy as well as maintenance savings are also briefly discussed.

This protocol accompanies the manuscript Mapping Human Tissues with Highly Multiplexed RNA in situ Hybridization (https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.08.16.553610). It protocol outlines the steps for the enzymatic amplification and preparation of padlock probes from an oligo pool. This strategy has a lower upfront cost compared to individual synthesis of probes and thus permits the use of tens of thousands of padlock probes per probe set. Additionally, the oligo pool serves as an unlimited source of padlock probes, as it can be expanded by PCR amplification upon need.

The formation of a concept for the socio-economic development of Ukraine's regions requires the development of a concept for the restoration of Ukraine's economy on the basis of sustainable development in the context of intensified cooperation with the EU. Particular attention should be paid to the regions of the country that are part of depressed territorial units and are of strategic importance. One of such regions is the Danube Region, which is of strategic importance for the infrastructure support of the Ukrainian economy. The article examines the main problems of development of this region with their distribution in three areas: economic, social and environmental. The authors identify the main tasks for forming the concept of socio-economic development of the region and propose a mechanism for managing the development of a depressed region, which identifies forms and approaches to management, as well as appropriate methods and tools. The implementation of the proposed measures will allow to realise the potential of this region in the context of deepening cooperation with the EU countries. The key elements of the existing potential of the Danube Region of Ukraine are the following: location and infrastructure, natural resources, trade opportunities, energy resources, economic potential, international cooperation, and others. It is proved that ensuring the socio-economic development of this region requires significant investment resources. The author proposes the main measures to increase the level of investment attractiveness of the region, namely: legal reform, liberalisation and simplification of import and export of goods, implementation of infrastructure projects, support for high-potential industries, improvement of public administration efficiency, intensification of partnership with the private sector, implementation of environmental standards, and an active information campaign. The implementation of the proposed measures will help form the basis for the socio-economic development of the Danube Region in cooperation with the EU.

The aim of the article is to develop and substantiate the conceptual and scientific-applied foundations for studying the problems, needs and processes of social integration of internally displaced persons (IDPs) into host communities in the context of increasing threats to social security that have arisen as a result of the undeclared full-scale war against Ukraine. The main research methods are: functional and structural-logical analysis, synthesis, conceptualization of theoretical generalizations, systematization of data, justification. The authors developed and presented the conceptual and scientific-applied principles of empirical research on the assessment of problems, needs and processes of social integration of internally displaced persons into host communities under conditions of increased threats to social security due to the undeclared full-scale war against Ukraine. The basic structure of the problem field of research is defined with the disclosure of the content of each segment, the content and logic of the study (social expertise) are disclosed, and the main tasks that are embodied in the research tools (questionnaire) are substantiated. The authors reveal the main aspects of the practical significance of the expected results of the study on the assessment of problems, needs and processes of social integration of IDPs into host communities in the context of increasing threats to social security due to the undeclared full-scale war against Ukraine. The conceptualization of the study proposed by the authors, its embodiment in the design of the questionnaire through a system of questions, the integrated use of sociological and statistical information allow to create a reasonable methodological basis for measuring the state, problems and opportunities for solving the problems of Ukrainian IDPs in modern conditions. The conceptual, scientific and applied principles of empirical research (social expertise) developed and highlighted by the authors regarding the analysis of the state, problems, needs and progress of the processes of social integration of internally displaced persons into the host communities open up a space of opportunities for quality information support of management decisions, adequate and timely response from the state, civil society, host communities on the problems and needs of IDPs, implementation of an effective regulatory socio-economic policy of Ukraine regarding the minimization of risks and threats to social security, improvement of conditions and targeting in life support of IDPs.

Cultura teatral e expressão do regional na dramaturgia-teatro da Paraíba (os anos de 1970)
Authors: Maciel Diógenes André Vieira , Colaço Monalisa Barboza Santos
Published: November 2023

Este artigo tem por objetivo refletir as relações travadas em meio ao sistema teatral brasileiro com ênfase sobre um subsistema regional, a saber, o paraibano, mediante um recorte referente a peças escritas e encenadas por autores e artistas paraibanos na década de 1970. Este recorte é justificado pela pertinência dessas produções à consolidação das ideias modernas de teatro, notadamente do que diz respeito à representação da regionalidade, enquanto uma tendência de longa duração para esta cultura teatral. Para cumprir os nossos objetivos, há o questionamento a uma suposta estabilidade da historiografia do teatro, que se diz brasileiro, na medida em que há, ainda, muitos aspectos desconhecidos e relevantes à tessitura de novas narrativas sobre seu desenvolvimento sistêmico.

O presente trabalho analisa de que forma o cotidiano se figura na peça Rasga coração, considerada o magnum opus de Vianninha. Como um mecanismo de construção dramatúrgica, o flashback é usado para entrelaçar o passado e o presente ao longo da peça. Isso ocorre nos planos de encenação, indicados pela rubrica do autor, por meio do emaranhamento entre a memória da personagem Custódio Manhães Jr., o Manguari Pistolão, e da narrativa histórica, representada por alguns acontecimentos da História do Brasil, entre o período de 1930 a 1970.
cena disputada
Authors: Santana Esther Marinho
Published: November 2023

A partir das perspectivas dos estudos globais do teatro, este artigo propõe uma análise da cena teatral brasileira cinquentista em uma “história compartilhada” (LEONHARDT, 2021). No transcorrer dos anos de impermeabilidades da Guerra Fria, turnês teatrais inauguraram vias de trânsito mundo afora graças a redes tecidas por instituições, empresários, críticos e espectadores de diferentes países. O exame da recepção do musical estadunidense Porgy and Bess e do espetáculo da Ópera de Pequim, encenados no Rio de Janeiro e em São Paulo em 1955 e 1956, respectivamente, revela que as apresentações veicularam mensagens diplomáticas de notável relevância. No primeiro caso, Porgy and Bess exportava a imagem de um Estados Unidos racialmente democrático e produtor de mais do que meros itens tecnológicos de consumo capitalista. No segundo, a Ópera de Pequim, vinda da recém-fundada República Popular da China, interpretava uma identidade imaginada (LEI, 2006; MELLO, 2022), através da qual buscava reconhecimento e validação. Disputadas, as plateias brasileiras acabaram também por se nutrir de tal dinâmica e, assim, pluralizavam-se.

No decorrer da História, poucas mulheres destacaram-se por sua atuação na sociedade e, especialmente, na Literatura. Quando se trata da dramaturgia, a invisibilidade é ainda maior. No Nordeste brasileiro, por exemplo, fundamentado por uma sociedade patriarcal, as mulheres lavadeiras, romanceiras, cordelistas, violeiras, entre outras, ficaram no anonimato, muitas morreram sem deixar o seu legado. Nesse sentido, nosso trabalho, tem como objetivo, apresentar a dramaturga Dona Dadi, mestre bonequeira, do Teatro de João Redondo, no Rio Grande do Norte. O trabalho é um recorte de uma pesquisa em desenvolvimento em nível de Doutorado. Pretendemos com esse estudo, destacar a importância da sua obra para a dramaturgia feminina, no âmbito da literatura popular.

Estimation of Distance Correlation: a Simulation-based Comparative Study
Authors: Jácome M. A , Cao Ricardo
Published: November 2023

The notion of distance correlationwas introduced to measure the dependence between two random vectors, not necessarily of equal dimensions, in a multivariate setting. In their work, Sz´ekely et al. (2007) proposed an estimator for the squared distance covariance, and they also proved that this estimator is a V-statistic. On the other hand, Sz´ekely and Rizzo (2014) introduced an unbiased version of the squared sample distance covariance, which was subsequently identified as a U-statistic in Huo and Sz´ekely (2016). In this study, a simulation is conducted to compare both distance correlation estimators: the U-estimator and the V-estimator. The analysis assesses their efficiency (mean squared error) and contrasts the computational times of both approaches across various dependence structures
Method for Pricing Renewable Energy Certificates
Authors: Baamonde-Seoane María A , Calvo-Garrido María del Carmen , Vázquez Carlos
Published: November 2023

In this work we present one valuation method for Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). Starting from a system of FBSDEs and using Ito lemma, we propose a mathematical model based on a semilinear PDE with two stochastic factors. The main novelty comes from the use of the Bermúdez-Moreno algorithm to deal the non-linear convective term in the PDE. This duality algorithm is based on the Yosida regularization of non-linear maximal monotone operators. The resulting linear problem is discretized by using a characteristics method combined with a second order implicit finite differences scheme. We show illustrative results of the performance of the proposed model and the numerical method.

Published: November 2023

: Menstrual cups are a better alternative for menstrual hygiene but usage among girls and women is limited due to lack of popularity.  The purpose of this study is to assess the usage of menstrual cup and its determinants among young women in health profession.

: This is a cross-sectional analytical study designed to collect data among 370 young women who fulfilled the selection criteria using a cluster sampling method. The objectives of the study were assessed with a self-administered questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive (frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (chi-square). All statistical analysis was carried out at a 5% level of significance.

: Among 370 young women only 29 (7.8%) use a menstrual cup, nearly 90% of them use it because it is comfortable, non-allergic, convenient during travel, and enables free movement. Only 8 (2.2%) have used it earlier but not presently, about 75% of them stopped because of difficulty in insertion. While 333 (90%) of young women have never used a menstrual cup, about 70% presumed menstrual cup insertion would be difficult and uncomfortable.

: Young women despite being in the health profession and knowing about menstrual cups do not use them. This highlights the need for efforts to promote awareness regarding the availability and utilization of menstrual cups to empower girls and women in maintaining menstrual hygiene.

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) refers to bleeding that occurs outside of normal menstrual cycles and includes changes in the regularity, frequency, duration, or amount of bleeding during or between periods. AUB is a condition that causes significant impairment in women's health, impacting a substantial proportion of women in different stages of their reproductive life with 14-25% of women of reproductive age and up to 50% of women in the perimenopausal phase experience the effects of this condition.

The present study was analytical observational study conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology for the period of 18 months. Prior to commencement, the study obtained approval from the ethics committee at the hospital, and 63 women aged 35 or above, who were experiencing abnormal uterine bleeding, willingly participated in the study by providing written consent.. Each patient underwent a thorough medical history and general systemic examination. They were also subjected to baseline investigations, transvaginal sonography, diagnostic hysteroscopy, and endometrial biopsy.

The overall diagnostic accuracy of our study came out to be 90.48%. The correlation between Histopathological and Hysteroscopic findings of the endometrium and was found to be statistically significant (p<0.05).

Hysteroscopy is a valuable diagnostic tool for identifying the underlying cause of AUB. Proper management of AUB will depend on several factors including the patient's age, fertility goals, and the results of the final histopathology. While hysteroscopy is a valuable tool for visualizing abnormalities in the uterine cavity, it is important to note that it is not a substitute for tissue diagnosis, which is considered the gold standard. Rather, hysteroscopy complements other diagnostic procedures by offering the advantage of direct visualization of any abnormalities within the uterine cavity.

AntiD is a recombinant anti-D immunoglobulin approved as an immunoprophylaxis treatment in Rh-negative mothers carrying an Rh-positive fetus. This study was conducted to assess the safety and tolerability of AntiD in clinical settings.

This was a prospective, multicenter, phase IV, post-marketing safety study of AntiD. The study was conducted at 29 hospitals in India as per regulatory requirements. Three hundred eligible Rh-negative women were administered a single intramuscular dose of either 150 mcg or 300 mcg AntiD within 72 hours of a sensitizing event as per the approved indication. Safety and tolerability were evaluated based on the assessment of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) reported during the study.

Out of the 300 participants enrolled, 290 completed the study procedures. A total of 54 AEs and 34 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were reported by 47 (15.7%) and 30 (10.0%) participants, respectively. Most reported TEAEs were mild, unrelated to the study drug, and were completely resolved during the study. Except for two participants with clinically significant hematological and urinalysis findings consistent with their underlying medical conditions, none of the participants exhibited abnormal clinical or laboratory parameters.

Based on the assessment of the different safety parameters, AntiD administered at a dose of either 150 mcg or 300 mcg did not raise any new or significant safety concerns. The current study demonstrated that AntiD is well-tolerated and safe to use for anti-D prophylaxis as per product label indications for the prevention of Rh-isoimmunization in a clinical setting.

: Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID -19) is caused by the Severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus (SARS-COV-2). In the absence of an effective treatment, vaccination becomes the main modality to control the incidence of infectious diseases. Hence, there is a need to estimate the attitudes and willingness among pregnant women for COVID 19 Vaccine.

To estimate the frequency of COVID 19 Vaccine acceptance and non acceptance in pregnant women attending antenatal OPD. To describe the factors associated with non acceptance of COVID 19 Vaccine in pregnant women attending antenatal OPD

This is an observational cross-sectional study where 500 pregnant women attending antenatal care were counseled about the COVID-19 vaccine. Women who refused the vaccine were asked about the reasons for refusal and the same was noted.

95.6% accepted the vaccine and 4.4% did not accept. Majority belonged to 21 to 25 years(45% acceptors and 72% non acceptors), were second gravidas (38.7% acceptors and 54.5% non acceptors) and were between 25 to 36 weeks gestation(52.7% acceptors and 50% non acceptors). 13.8% of acceptors and 4.5% of non acceptors had previous history of abortions. Commonest concern was fear of vaccine related complications and fear of harming the fetus. Vaccine reactions followed by fear of harming the baby were the commonest reasons for non acceptance.

Vaccine acceptance was high in this study (95.6%). Vaccine induced reactions followed by fear of harming the baby were the commonest reasons for non acceptance.
El Cristo de la Humildad: una marcha de procesión inédita de Francisco Alonso López (1887-1948) para la Semana Santa de Granada
Authors: De la Torre Castellano José Luis
Published: November 2023

La Semana Santa en Granada comienza a configurarse como la conocemos hoy día a partir de las últimas décadas del siglo XIX y las primeras del siglo XX, a pesar tener testimonios desde los siglos XV y XVI. Paralelamente a la evolución de la festividad, encontramos manifestaciones musicales que se irán desarrollando del mismo modo hasta llegar a finales del siglo XIX. Sin embargo, no será hasta bien entrado el siglo XX cuando hallemos compositores, composiciones y formaciones musicales ligadas a esta celebración. En este contexto, el compositor de zarzuelas granadino Francisco Alonso López (1887-1948), nos aporta una muestra musical cofrade con El Cristo de la Humildad, una marcha de procesión con saeta dedicada al titular de la recién fundada cofradía que pasa, previsiblemente, por ser la primera composición para la Semana Santa granadina moderna.

Anonymus Gesta Hungaroruma mint történeti forrás
Authors: Zsoldos Attila
Published: November 2023

A tanulmány Anonymus Gesta Hungarorumának keltezésére tesz kísérletet. Kiindulópontja szerint Anonymus azon ismeretei, amelyek tükröződnek munkájában, életének a geszta megírása előtti bármely szakaszából származhatnak, így a mű datálása szempontjából különös jelentőségük azoknak van közülük azoknak, amelyek a legkésőbbi időszakra mutatnak. A geszta szövegének korjelölő elemei II. András uralkodásának idejére (1205–1235) keltezik a művet. Közülük több arra utal, hogy az 1228 és 1235 közötti években kereshető a legnagyobb valószínűséggel a geszta keletkezésének ideje.

A tanulmány azt a jelenséget vizsgálja, hogy a lehet modális főmondat utáni hogy kötőszós alanyi mellékmondatból a kötőszó elmaradhat, és ez kétféleképpen mehet végbe: egyrészt a tagmondathatár megőrződésével, voltaképpen csak stílusbeli variánst eredményezve; másrészt úgy, hogy a tagmondathatár megszűnik, a lehet belesüllyed egykori mellékmondatába, és módosítószóvá válik. A szerző (a 2010-es években megjelent szakirodalom megállapításaira, felvetéseire is reflektálva) szóbeli és írásbeli szövegekből összegyűjtött adatokkal szemlélteti a kétféle típus tulajdonságait, megkülönböztetésük fontosságát és nehézségeit. Szintén a szakirodalomhoz kapcsolódva szól a tagmondattörlő típus eredetéről, terjedési irányáról, használatának generációk szerinti különbségéről is.

Authors: Sidebang Purnama
Published: November 2023

Backgrounds: As a coastal City, Ternate has smoked fish products that are traditionally managed by burning using firewood or coconut shells, resulting in air pollution pollutants, like fine particulate matter (PM2.5), an air pollutants which are harmful to the health of fish smoking workers, such as pulmonary function impairment. Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of PM2.5 exposure on lung function impairment of fish smoking workers in Ternate City. Method: It was a cross-sectional study design, purposive sampling technique of 15 people from a total of 12 smoking houses. Result: The median of PM2.5 concentration in fish smoking houses was 440.15mg/m3 and about 86% of workers had been exposed to PM2.5 exceeded the nationally required daily quality standard, 53.3% of respondents had lung function impairment based on FEV1/FVC lung capacity measurements, from the statistical analysis results obtained p = 1, meaning that there was no difference pulmonary function impairment in workers with PM2.5 exposure that exceeds the quality standard and does not exceed the quality standard. OR 1.167 was obtained, meaning that workers exposed to PM2.5 > quality standards have odds 1.167 times higher to have lung function impairment than workers exposed to PM2.5 ≤ quality standards. Conclusion: Exposure to PM2.5 that exceeds the quality standard will increase the risk of having lung function impairment in fish smoking workers in Ternate City.
El lugar de la mujer: La segregación ocupacional horizontal por razón de género en el mercado laboral peruano
Authors: Quispe Paucar Angie Cristina
Published: November 2023

Este ensayo se adentra en la persistente problemática de la segregación ocupacional por género en el mercado laboral y su impacto en la igualdad de oportunidades. A pesar del incremento en la participación femenina en la fuerza laboral en décadas recientes, las desigualdades laborales siguen siendo una realidad que plantea desafíos significativos para la consecución de la equidad de género en el ámbito laboral. En el contexto peruano, se evidencia una marcada segregación ocupacional: las mujeres predominan en sectores como servicios y comercio, mientras que los hombres ocupan en su mayoría puestos “masculinizados” en el sector privado formal. La metodología empleada combina una revisión exhaustiva de la literatura desde perspectivas económicas y de género con el análisis de estadísticas oficiales y publicaciones científicas. Así, la revisión bibliográfica se lleva a cabo desde un enfoque multidisciplinario, permitiendo un análisis integral de la segregación ocupacional por razón de género. Del mismo modo, la recopilación y el procesamiento de información cuantitativa relevante en el contexto peruano proporcionan una base sólida para comprender la situación actual y las tendencias en el mercado. De este modo, se busca visibilizar las dimensiones preexistentes que definen el “lugar de las mujeres” en el mercado laboral peruano.
Desde la red social Facebook: #NiUnaMenos en Lima 2016
Authors: Cruz de la Torre Jessica Daniela
Published: November 2023

En principio, la red social Facebook fue creada con fines de entretenimiento. Sin embargo, en esta nueva era digital, la interacción con relación a los medios sociales se volvió un modo de acción. En estas, se puede compartir o dejar determinada reacción a las publicaciones con respecto a los intereses de un usuario en específico. De esta manera, se manifiesta su interés por cierta causa y se identifica con ella. Una motivación fue combatir la violencia contra la mujer del movimiento social #NiUnaMenos que organizó una marcha masiva en agosto de 2016 en Lima. En el presente trabajo se busca averiguar de qué manera el uso de Facebook influyó en la conformación del mencionado movimiento en Lima durante el 2016. Se plantea que fue de dos maneras: como medio para la organización colectiva masiva para actividades offline y como instrumento para construir un discurso en búsqueda de mejorar una situación mediante la acción colectiva. La metodología de esta investigación se basa en un balance de fuentes secundarias que incluyen: tesis, artículos de revistas, libros y otros documentos. Finalmente, se encontró que Facebook proporcionó herramientas específicas como la mensajería, grupos y página de seguidores. Todas ellas ayudaron a la organización del movimiento social #NiUnaMenos y fueron medio por los cuales fue factible la interacción inmediata y la superación de limitaciones espaciales entre personas con intereses afines, así como la construcción de un discurso en torno a la situación de opresión y desigualdad que vivimos las mujeres mediante la acción colectiva.
