Virginia Woolf and Post-Impressionism: French Art, English Theory and Feminist Practice
Authors: Goldman Jane
Published: December 2024

Roger Fry's historic exhibition of 1910, "Manet and the Post-Impressionists", was a defining moment in avant-garde aesthetics, marking European modernism's revolutionary impact on the practices of British artists. But it also marked the start of British formalist theorists' influence on the critical apparatus for modernism. It is often cited to explain Virginia Woolf's enigmatic statement, in "Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Brown" (1924): "on or about December 1910 human character changed". The formalist aesthetics of Roger Fry and Clive Bell with which this date has become linked are also invoked in readings of To the Lighthouse (1927) to explain the painting practice of Lily Briscoe and the modernist aesthetics of Woolf herself. But 1910 saw other events surrounding the exhibition that we might acknowledge as relevant: in particular, the suffragette activism occurring at the time of the exhibition, culminating in the notorious demonstration on "Black Friday". Woolf's manifesto on 1910 seems to resonate both with the formulations by Fry and Bell on European art and with the formulations and practices of British suffragist artists. The stained-glass artist and organiser of suffragist colours, Mary Lowndes, published a number of essays in 1910 and 1911 which are of particular interest. The combined influences of French art, English formalist theory, and suffragist aesthetics may be at work in Woolf's Künstlerroman of 1927.
The Role of Text Structure in Encoding Ideology and Individual Perspective
Authors: María José Luzón Marco
Published: December 2024

Although any aspect of discourse can be ideologically significant, research on the relation between discourse and ideology has generally focused on the ideological investment of lexis and grammar. This paper analyses the ideological significance of the structure of the text. The role of text structure in perpetuating existing power relations is examined and described in terms of naturalisation and manipulation. Naturalisation of discourse structure refers to the fact that a structure associated with a specific social group is considered to be universal and thus the ideology which invests it is not regarded as ideology, but as common sense. Manipulation is concerned with the fact that, when encoding an argument, the writer considers the reader’s expectations regarding the structure of the text in order to articulate the different elements and organise the discourse in a specific way, which reflects the ideological position from which the text is constructed.
Polysemy in the Semantic Field of Movement in the English Language
Authors: Isabel Negro Alousque
Published: December 2024

In this paper we will attempt to demonstrate that the lexicon is not neatly divided through the analysis of the semantic field of MOVEMENT in the English language. We will first describe the model of lexical description that we have followed, the Functional-Lexematic Model (Martín Mingorance, 1984), which consists of three levels of analysis: the paradigmatic, syntagmatic and cognitive axes. Then we will examine the double/ multiple membership of MOVEMENT verbs within their semantic field (intrafield membership) and across the lexicon (interfield membership). Intrafield membership is determined by three factors: focalization of a meaning component, genus of the lexeme, and metaphorical extension of the lexical unit. Interfield membership is accounted for by metaphorical processes.
Research Trends and Gaps in the Adoption of Immersive Reality Technologies in African Education Systems
Authors: Gudyanga Remeredzayi
Published: December 2024

Immersive reality technologies (IMRT) hold transformative potential for educational practices. While there have been studies on the application of immersive technologies in education, fewer studies have attempted to map research trends and gaps in Africa with the continent’s peculiarities. This mixed-methods bibliometric study analyses scholarly publications by African researchers and institutions to identify trends, research hotspots, and collaboration networks in the application of IMRT in education and training. Utilizing the SCOPUS database to generate the dataset, descriptive analysis and vosViewer were used to make sense of the data on publication output trends, publication by country and affiliations, funding, citation metrics, and co-authorship patterns from 2014 to 2023. Findings reveal a steady increase in immersive reality technology research around education. Academics affiliated with African institutions mostly cite academics from the western world than they cite fellow African academics. Results suggest limited local funding for research with significant funding contributions coming from external organisations. This may suggest that research directions on IMRT in African is heavily influenced by outside academics. Keyword analysis suggests that research in IMRT related to education is more biased towards higher education than secondary and primary education. Data analysis on author citations suggest significant recent research focus on how IMRT could impact curriculum reform and implementation. Research gaps exist in the application of IMRT in primary and secondary education. Policy makers could increase local funding in research directed towards coupling the application of immersive technologies with generative artificial intelligence tools in primary and secondary education.

Published: December 2024

Addressing the high unemployment rates among graduates and the Z generation is crucial. The education business curriculum aligns students' innovation and entrepreneurship (IAE) with their personal needs and motivation to develop their own businesses. This research explores the impact of entrepreneurship education on students' personal needs and how entrepreneurship education and students' personal needs influence their motivation to develop their own businesses. Through an online survey and purposive technique sampling, 367 students and lecturers in vocational education in China were selected to complete the questionnaires. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was applied to validate the research construct and students’ perspectives and views on IAE courses. This study found that students understand the goals of IAE; seeking practical knowledge and learning through experience have a positive and significant effect on personal need and motivation to become entrepreneurs. Education stakeholders such as teachers play an important role in fostering students’ innovative thinking, providing real-world practice opportunities, and using diverse evaluation methods. Both teachers and students agree on the importance of problem-solving skills, satisfying learning interests, and integrating subject and entrepreneurship education. The findings suggest enhancing IAE by aligning the system with objectives, promoting a balance of practical and theoretical courses, and fostering interdisciplinary teamwork and innovation. This approach aims to enhance the quality of IAE courses and business operations.

Las intervenciones basadas en la comunidad, son programas y estrategias diseñadas para promover hábitos de vida saludables a nivel comunitario, con el objetivo de prevenir enfermedades como la obesidad y la diabetes. Estas intervenciones se llevan a cabo en diversos entornos, como escuelas, centros comunitarios, lugares de trabajo y espacios públicos, y suelen involucrar a múltiples actores de la comunidad, como familias, escuelas, organizaciones locales y gobiernos. Para llevar a cabo esta revisión bibliográfica, se realizó una búsqueda exhaustiva en las principales bases de datos académicas, incluyendo PubMed, Scopus y Cochrane Library. Se utilizaron combinaciones de términos MeSH y palabras clave relevantes como "intervenciones basadas en la comunidad", "obesidad infantil", "diabetes tipo 2", "prevención" y "programas de intervención". Los estudios incluidos debían ser dirigidos a poblaciones infantiles y adolescentes, y que evaluaran la efectividad de intervenciones comunitarias para prevenir la obesidad y/o diabetes. Las intervenciones basadas en la comunidad representan una herramienta valiosa para prevenir la obesidad infantil y la diabetes. Sin embargo, se requiere una mayor investigación para identificar las intervenciones más efectivas y los factores que modulan su eficacia. Asimismo, es fundamental contar con políticas públicas que apoyen la implementación de estas intervenciones a gran escala y garanticen la sostenibilidad de los programas a largo plazo.

Published: December 2024

La psoriasis es una enfermedad crónica e inflamatoria que afecta la piel y las articulaciones. Esta patología se caracteriza por presentar lesiones cutáneas bien delimitadas, descamación y enrojecimiento. Con frecuencia se relaciona con enfermedades inflamatorias sistémicas como es el caso de la artritis psoriásica. Los avances en la investigación de esta patología han logrado el desarrollo de nuevas terapias y con ellas el mejoramiento del pronóstico de estos pacientes. En consecuencia, el propósito de la investigación es realizar una revisión de la literatura disponible y plasmar lo novedoso en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de la psoriasis. La metodología empleada es una revisión bibliográfico – documental. En la actualidad, el diagnóstico de la psoriasis se sigue fundamentando en los signos clínicos de la enfermedad y la valoración histológica. La clasificación de la severidad de la psoriasis es un factor fundamental en el seguimiento de esta patología. En la actualidad, se encuentra disponible una amplia gama de tratamientos, sin embargo, este debe ser individualizado y adaptarse a las necesidades específicas de cada paciente. Entre las terapias existentes se encuentran: la terapia tópica, fototerapia, terapia sistémica y el tratamiento biológico. Con relación a los nuevos paradigmas en el tratamiento de la psoriasis se encuentran la inmunogenicidad, a pesar de que aún hay controversia sobre su magnitud y trascendencia terapéutica. Asimismo, la evidencia actual indica que la modulación de la microbiota intestinal, tanto a través de dietas como por suplementación con probióticos y prebióticos, podría resultar un nuevo enfoque terapéutico.
Protección a los usuarios de proveedores de bienes y servicios en la Ley Orgánica de Defensa del Consumidor del Ecuador
Authors: Dávila Crespo Luis Eduardo
Published: December 2024

En el Ecuador contamos con un plexo normativo en materia de protección de los consumidores que data del año 2000, en el cual el legislador de la época procuró regular las salvaguardas necesarias en favor de los consumidores que a dicho momento de la historia resultaban necesarias en este ámbito. Con la masificación del comercio en diversas áreas y la creciente cultura de un consumo exacerbado de bienes y servicios -que inclusive es materia de análisis dentro de los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible establecidos por las Naciones Unidas-, se vuelve necesario una adaptación a dicha normativa, pues las realidades que afronta este ámbito han variado sustancialmente en comparación a como lo era hace algunos años y la normativa actual no abarca todos los ámbitos de protección que los consumidores requieren. Para la realización del presente trabajo debemos también tener en cuenta que desde el año 2008 rige en nuestro país un marco constitucional que propugna entre otras cosas la defensa de los derechos de los consumidores a través de la implementación de mecanismos y procedimientos de defensa, idóneos y adecuados. En ese orden de ideas, el objetivo del presente artículo es esbozar parámetros que puedan servir de basamento para la proposición de disposiciones legales que ayuden a fortalecer el régimen tuitivo de los consumidores en la Ley Orgánica de Defensa del Consumidor en el Ecuador.

Published: December 2024

La responsabilidad social empresarial en Ecuador comienza a ser observada a inicios del 2010 como una estrategia de administración que al ser acogida en los procesos por las organizaciones privadas le ayuda en la consecución de sus objetivos debido a su enfoque con cuatro aspectos principales relacionados con derechos humanos, derechos laborales, cuidado del medio ambiente y políticas anticorrupción. En el medio existe una red de aproximadamente 75 empresas entre públicas y privadas que han dado pie a la constitución de una entidad llamada Consorcio Ecuatoriano para la Responsabilidad Social misma que da los lineamientos que deben seguir para ser una empresa certificada con responsabilidad social. Para contextualizar, la responsabilidad social es un sistema de gestión que una organización adopta en forma voluntaria para demostrar el compromiso con la comunidad donde ejercen sus actividades industriales. Este articulo tiene por finalidad analizar el porcentaje de cumplimiento que tienen las empresas de manufactura con los aspectos de derechos humanos, laborales, ambientales y de ética, así como los requisitos que se dejan en segundo plano o incumplimiento con el objetivo de proponer recomendaciones que podrían ser acogidas para cumplir con los requisitos en su totalidad. Esta investigación es de tipo descriptiva-explicativa, donde se sustenta mediante los métodos análisis-síntesis e inductivo – deductivo de estas empresas como estrategias de razonamiento lógico que contribuye a la obtención de conclusiones generales y específicas. De igual modo, para la búsqueda de información se utilizan los cuestionarios con información específica de empresas identificadas por el tipo de negocio.

El objetivo general de este artículo fue evaluar cómo la aplicación de vinaza, en combinación con el riego, afecta: El rendimiento del cultivo de caña de azúcar (toneladas por hectárea). La calidad de la caña, considerando parámetros como el contenido de sacarosa (rendimiento azucarero). Se implementaron parcelas experimentales en el Ingenio Valdez, ubicado en Milagro, Ecuador. Diferentes dosis de vinaza fueron aplicadas a través del sistema de riego. Se compararon los resultados con parcelas de control que no recibieron vinaza. La vinaza mejoró significativamente el rendimiento de la caña de azúcar, aumentando tanto la biomasa como el contenido de sacarosa en comparación con las parcelas de control. Las dosis óptimas de vinaza favorecieron la calidad del cultivo sin generar efectos negativos en el suelo o el medio ambiente, siempre que se aplicaran de manera controlada. La aplicación con riego se mostró como una estrategia eficiente para la distribución de la vinaza en el campo. La vinaza, utilizada adecuadamente, puede ser una alternativa sostenible para mejorar la productividad del cultivo de caña de azúcar. Su integración como fertilizante contribuye a la economía circular, al reutilizar subproductos industriales en la agricultura. Se sugiere realizar estudios a largo plazo para evaluar los efectos acumulativos de la vinaza en el suelo. Es importante desarrollar protocolos de aplicación para evitar problemas como la salinización o contaminación de aguas subterráneas.

Introduction: Hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) is considered definitive treatment for decompression illness. Delay to HBOT may be due to dive site remoteness and limited facility availability. Review of cases may help identify factors contributing to clinical outcomes.
Methods: Injured divers treated in Townsville from November 2003 through December 2018 were identified. Information on demographics, initial disease severity, time to symptom onset post-dive, time to pre-HBOT oxygen therapy (in-water recompression or normobaric), time to HBOT, and clinical outcome was reviewed. Data were reported as median (interquartile range [IQR]) with Kruskal-Wallis and chi-square tests used to evaluate group differences. Significance was accepted at
P < 0.05.
Results: A total of 306 divers (184 males, 122 females) were included with a median age of 29 (IQR 24, 35) years. Most divers had mild initial disease severity (n = 216, 70%). Time to symptom onset was 60 (10, 360) min, time to pre-HBOT oxygen therapy was 4:00 (00:30, 24:27) h:min, and time to start of HBOT was 38:51 (22:11, 69:15) h:min. Most divers (93%) had a good (no residual or minor residual symptoms) outcome and no treated diver died. Higher initial disease severity was significantly associated with shorter times to symptom onset, oxygen therapy, and HBOT, and with worse outcomes. The paucity of cases receiving HBOT with minimal delay precluded meaningful evaluation of the effect of delay to HBOT.
Conclusions: Most divers had mild initial disease severity and a good outcome. Higher initial disease severity accelerated the speed of care obtained and was the only factor associated with poorer outcome.

Rothera is a British Antarctic Survey research station located on Adelaide Island adjacent to the Antarctic Peninsula. Diving is vital to support a long-standing marine science programme but poses challenges due to the extreme and remote environment in which it is undertaken. We summarise the diving undertaken and describe the medical measures in place to mitigate the risk to divers. These include pre-deployment training in the management of emergency presentations and assessing fitness to dive, an on-site hyperbaric chamber and communication links to contact experts in the United Kingdom for remote advice. The organisation also has experience of evacuating patients, should this be required. These measures, as well as the significant infrastructure and logistical efforts to support them, enable high standards of medical care to be maintained to divers undertaking research on this most remote continent.

Abstract
The food enzyme triacylglycerol lipase (triacylglycerol acylhydrolase, EC 3.1.1.3) is produced with the genetically modified Aspergillus oryzae strain NZYM‐LH by Novozymes A/S. A safety evaluation of this food enzyme was made previously, in which EFSA concluded that, under the intended conditions of use, this food enzyme did not give rise to safety concerns. Due to the implementation of a new methodology to estimate the dietary exposure to food enzymes in 2016, the European Commission requested EFSA to revise the exposure assessment of this food enzyme by using this new methodology. In this assessment, EFSA realigned the intended uses of this food enzyme to two food manufacturing processes and recalculated the dietary exposure. Dietary exposure to the food enzyme‐TOS was calculated to be up to 0.284 mg TOS/kg body weight (bw) per day in European populations. When combined with the no observed adverse effect level previously reported (1080 mg TOS/kg bw per day, the highest dose tested), the Panel derived a margin of exposure of at least 3803. Based on the revised exposure estimate, the margin of exposure calculated thereof and the previous evaluation, the Panel concluded that this food enzyme does not give rise to safety concerns under the intended conditions of use.
Potential bioactive compounds found in three different Insect species (Periplaneta americana, Chrysomya megacephala, Oxya serville): Steroids and protein content

Published: December 2024

Cockroaches, houseflies and green locusts are three types of insects that are available around us, and even their presence tends to be a carrier of disease (host) and pests in agriculture. Based on these conditions, it is necessary to conduct an initial study of the potential bioactive compounds contained in the three types of insects, especially steroid and protein content as candidates for ‘ecdysteroids’ for crab moulting stimulants, as well as their social and economic potential. This research is qualitative with the following stages: i) insect collection using traps, ii) insect extraction, iii) chemical compound testing of insect extracts, and iv) proximate testing. The results showed that the insect animals tested were cockroaches, flies, and adult grasshoppers, and they were positive for steroid compounds tested using the Liebermann-Burchard method. From the results of the proximate test, the three insect animals have crude protein (%) 32.5 for cockroaches, 33.5 for flies, and 30.5 for grasshoppers. From a social perspective, utilising these animals will reduce disease-carrying hosts in the community. Economically, it will impact the emergence of a business chain in the supplier segment.Keywords: Aquaculture; Insects; Moulting; Protein; Steroid

Crab is one of the coastal fisheries resources that has high economic value and has been intensively utilized. This study aims to analyze the size of the carapace width and weight of the S. serrata crab. The research was conducted using the survey method, through measurement at the crab landing and marketing site. The results showed that the carapace width of male mud crabs ranged from 59.1-149.3 mm (87.35 ± 12.36 mm), with weights ranging from 30.0-560 g (121.68 ± 46.11 g). Female mud crabs had carapace widths ranging from 64.0-172 mm (88.16 ± 14.24 mm), with weights ranging from 40.0-790 g (128.14 ± 64.20 g). The growth pattern of male and female mud crabs is negative allometric, with carapace width increasing faster than crab weight. Crabs that meet the size that can be caught based on carapace width are 13 crabs (2.32%) and based on weight are 118 crabs (21.03%). The crabs caught predominantly did not meet the catchable size.Keywords: Carapace Width; Catchable Size; Growth Pattern of Scylla serrata; Weight

All these changes were depended on the habit and habitat, and the maturity of Mango fruit. The quantification of the sugar composition from the ethanolic extract of two mango cultivars showed that the Dasheri had the highest reducing and non-reducing sugar than Langra varieties. The sugar content at maturity showed variability among the species. At the ripened stages, the highest titrable acidity (0.22%) was found in Langra, whereas Dasheri had the lowest content of titrable acidity (0.17%). Malic acid concentration changed marginally at the beginning in citric acid concentration was observed 2 to 6 times lesser during the ripening stages. Fructose and glucose concentration (w/w) was found 32.60 % and 23.37% respectively. The environmental conditions, age and maturity affect the physiological characters and the biochemical changes were taken place at the ripening phases. The total percentage of sugar in mango was 22.06 % in the artificially induced maturity while naturally ripened mango showed 21.06 % sugar.

OUTREACH AND FINANCIAL INCLUSION IN KRISHNAGIRI: DETERMINANTS OF MICROFINANCE - AN ECONOMETRIC APPROACH
Authors: Leelavathi M. , Murugesan R.
Published: December 2024

This research paper delves into the role of microfinance in fostering financial inclusion in Krishnagiri, a district in Tamil Nadu, India. The primary objective was to investigate the determinants of microfinance effectiveness in enhancing financial inclusion in a rural context. Employing an econometric approach, the study utilized data collected from September to December 2023 through surveys of 500 microfinance beneficiaries in Krishnagiri. Key variables included loan amount, interest rate, repayment period, financial training, access to credit, and savings behavior. The data was analyzed using multiple linear regression models facilitated by Stata 16 software.The findings revealed a positive correlation between loan amount and access to credit, but a less significant relationship with savings behavior, suggesting that larger loans enhance credit access but do not necessarily promote savings. A negative correlation was observed between interest rates and access to credit, indicating that higher interest rates may hinder financial inclusion. Extended repayment periods positively influenced both credit access and savings behavior, highlighting the importance of flexible repayment terms. Significantly, financial training strongly impacted both access to credit and savings behavior, underscoring the critical role of financial literacy in financial inclusion.These results suggest that microfinance initiatives in Krishnagiri should not only focus on financial service provision but also on improving financial literacy and creating conducive repayment conditions. The study contributes to a nuanced understanding of microfinance impacts, offering insights for more effective financial inclusion strategies in rural areas.

Authors: Sageera M. P
Published: December 2024

This study delves into the often-neglected aspects of social stress within the caste life, with a specific focus on M. Kunhaman’s memoir, Dissent. While conventional social studies emphasise knowledge as an emancipating force for the marginalised communities, this article explores how acquiring knowledge places individuals, particularly those from the Dalit community, under additional societal stress. The term ‘social stress’ is employed to elucidate the intricate web of caste-based hierarchies affecting individual’s psychological, emotional, and cultural experiences.

Published: December 2024

Chinese culture plays an important role in shaping the dynamics of family businesses in Indonesia, especially in the context of increasingly intense business competition. This study aims to address gaps in understanding the influence of Chinese culture, including guanxi culture, Confucian inheritance, and the succession process, as well as strategic orientation, namely entrepreneurial orientation and market orientation, on firm performance, with competitive advantage as a mediating variable. The research method used in this study is a quantitative method with a data analysis approach using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Data were collected through surveys distributed to 232 Chinese family businesses in Bekasi and DKI Jakarta. The sample was selected using a non-probability sampling technique with a purposive sampling approach, where companies were chosen based on certain criteria, such as family structure, years of operation, and family member involvement in management. The data collection instrument consisted of structured questionnaires containing questions about corporate culture, strategic orientation, competitive advantage, and firm performance. The results of the study show that competitive advantage significantly mediates the influence of the succession process, entrepreneurial orientation, and market orientation on firm performance. However, guanxi culture and Confucian inheritance do not show a significant influence on firm performance, either directly or through competitive advantage. These findings contribute theoretically with five novel models related to the relationship between Chinese culture, strategic orientation, and firm performance in Indonesia. The implications of this study suggest that Chinese family businesses need to focus more on innovation, market adaptability, and succession management to maintain competitiveness and enhance business performance, while traditional values such as guanxi and Confucianism may require further adaptation to remain relevant in the modern business context.
