Bricks or people? Investing more and better in Science, a dilemma for South American countries
Authors: Paruelo Jose m. , Sierra Miguel , Prieto Daniel
Published: January 2025

Productivity of the Science and Technology (S&T) sector of Latin American countries would require more public and private investment to increase. Despite significant progress in the first 15 years of this century, South American investment in Science as percentage of GDP has been 10-fold lower than that of Europe. Though the need to increase S&T investment is clear, less obvious is whether money should go to infrastructure or human capital. Using global databases we assessed scientific productivity, number of researchers and resources devoted to S&T. We evaluated production for Europe, the Americas and China. We then focused on three Mercosur countries: Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. Scientific production was related to S&T expenditure and to the number of researchers. We found that countries investing ~2% of their GDP may have a 5-fold variation in their productivity. Our results suggest than human capital explains a higher proportion of the S&T productivity than the total amount of resources devoted to science. Thus, people would matter more than infrastructure in determining the scientific output. The positive trends in the resources devoted to Science in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay do not allow, though, to reach in a decade the levels of productivity of European countries.UPDATE: Community review available at https://prereview.org/reviews/14647890 DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.14647890
Integrating Traditional Medicine into Healthcare Systems: A Case of Sowa Rigpa from Ladakh, India
Authors: Mathur Ajitesh , Swain Pranaya
Published: January 2025

Traditional medical systems in healthcare are seen as complementary or alternative to the biomedicine healthcare model. However, according to the WHO, using traditional and complementary medicine can help us fulfil the goal of providing healthcare access for all. This paper talks about Sowa Rigpa, a traditional medical system, its origin and characteristics, tracing its evolution and situating its development in a historical context, its unique characteristics like integration in daily life, changes in behavioural and dietary patterns, and how it can be integrated into the medical system. This paper also highlights the role of traditional medicine in healthcare and its coverage and growth in the Asian subcontinent.
Characteristics of Input Signal of a XY and YX Cut LiNbO3 SAW Using Finite Element Modeling
Authors: Janardhana Ranjith , Jackson Nathan
Published: January 2025

Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) devices were traditionally designed for wireless and communication applications; however, their potential has been explored in various other fields. In recent years SAW devices have shown promising results in acoustofluidics. SAW devices operate at higher frequencies (100’s of MHz) which results in high propagation of mechanical waves on the surface which can be utilized in acoustofluidics applications such as cell separation and atomizer. Integration of SAW on acoustofluidics applications solely depends on the device’s ability to generate an acoustic wave with high magnitude to transfer high levels of energy through the liquid. Various factors such as the shape of wave form and amplitude of the input signal to a SAW can affect the formation of mechanical waves on the surface. Hence, the performance of acoustofluidics applications mainly depends on the selection of input signal to a SAW device. This paper analyzes the characteristics of input signals such as the shape of impulse, signal timing, frequency range, and amplitude by considering piezoelectric substrate XY and YX cut LiNbO3. The results were analyzed in relation to insertion loss which is an important parameter to determine the performance of the SAW device.

Authors: Mollons Meghan , Nijdam-Jones Alicia , Montgomery Janine Newton , Bremner Kenzie , Dela Rosa Jaden F. , McGillis Aimée , Roos Leslie
Published: January 2025

Interview summaries are brief first impressions of the conversation, with identifying information changed or removed while keeping the sentiment of the story. Stories are a vital part of Indigenous cultures (Kovach, 2021; Wilson, 2008) and as caregivers shared their experiences, it was important to include these stories, in a summarized way, to highlight each caregiver’s individual experience before the experiences were intertwined to create themes.
Computational model reveals two sources of polarity across negative adjectival expressions and quantifiers
Authors: Schlotterbeck Fabian , Ramotowska Sonia , van Maanen Leendert , Szymanik Jakub
Published: January 2025

The polarity effect is one of the most robust effects in linguistics: Negative expressions are processed slower than corresponding positive ones. Decades of research has shown that this effect replicates for different types of negative expressions, however, its magnitude varies depending on the expression type. It has been argued that in addition to polarity, the downward monotonicity increases the cost of processing negative expressions. In this paper, we use computational modeling of data from a sentence-picture verification task to investigate the sources of the polarity effect by contrasting quantifiers ('more than half' vs. 'fewer than half') that differ in polarity and monotonicity with adjectives ('a large proportion' vs. 'a small proportion') that only differ in polarity. We collected reaction times and response data in two web-based sentence-picture verification task experiments. Our reaction time analysis showed a larger polarity effect for quantifiers than adjectives, thus replicating a previously observed non cross-over interaction between polarity and expression type. In order to interpret this interaction with respect to semantic properties of these expressions, we fit scalinDDM, a modified version of the Diffusion Decision Model to the data. We showed that the drift rate and non-decision time parameters were affected by polarity and that the effect on drift rate was larger for quantifiers than adjectives. This finding suggests that there is no exclusive mapping between semantic properties and the model's parameters. Nevertheless, our results show that the computational model enhances transparency between linguistic properties and the dependent variables in a sentence-picture verification experiment.We showed that the drift rate and non-decision time parameters were affected by polarity, however, the effect in drift rate was larger for quantifiers than adjectives.

Sociodemographic diversity, reading literacy, and instructional focus: Disentangling complex relations on the individual and classroom level
Authors: Vogel Sebastian Nicolas Thomas , Stang-Rabrig Justine , McElvany Nele
Published: January 2025

A main goal of primary school is teaching students to be successful readers. However, reading literacy is influenced by a variety of sociodemographic background variables and, beyond these individual-level effects, the sociodemographic classroom composition. Teachers’ instruction has been proposed as one important mediator of these associations in theoretical models, but its role as a mediator of classroom-level and more importantly moderator of individual-level effects, has not been conclusively studied. Moreover, different confounded sociodemographic background variables have often been conflated in the extant literature. Therefore, we analyzed the role of central sociodemographic background variables (socioeconomic risk, language minority, first-generation immigrant) for core indicators of reading literacy (reading competence, reading enjoyment, reading self-concept) on the individual and classroom level, as well as the mediating and moderating role of instructional focus (reading-related support, support of language-minority students, cognitive activation). Multilevel structural equation models based on German PIRLS 2021 data (N = 3414 fourth-grade students, 195 classrooms) revealed negative associations of individual socioeconomic risk and language minority status with aspects of reading literacy, but motivational advantages among first-generation immigrant students. Negative classroom effects were found for socioeconomic and immigrant composition, positive classroom effects on self-concepts for share of language minority students. Instructional focus did not significantly mediate or moderate these associations. The results emphasize that especially socioeconomic risk threatens reading literacy on the individual and classroom level and suggest that while teachers adapt their instructional focus based on classroom composition, this in turn does not mediate or moderate associations on either level.
Counterfactual Reasoning in Children: Evidence from an Eye-Tracking Study with Turkish-Speakers
Authors: Aktepe Semih Can , Ozge Duygu
Published: January 2025

Previous research has produced mixed results regarding the ability of children as young as four years of age to engage in counterfactual reasoning. In this study, we employed a visual world eye-tracking paradigm to examine how children and adults process counterfactuals. Specifically, we investigated their ability to incrementally integrate the morphosyntactic cues of counterfactual constructions in Turkish, a language that encodes counterfactual meaning through concatenated verbal suffixes. Our findings revealed that both adults and children directed their attention to the target referent upon hearing the verb conjugation of the antecedent in counterfactual sentences. This result suggests that children as young as four years old can incrementally interpret counterfactual conditionals using morphosyntactic markers, much like adults. To our knowledge, this study provides the first evidence that morphosyntactic markers on verbs can trigger complex inferences, such as the generation of hypothetical alternative worlds for counterfactual reasoning, not only in adults but also in very young children.
The Not So Illusory Truth Effect: A Rational Foundation for Repetition Effects
Authors: Orchinik Reed , Rand David Gertler , Bhui Rahul
Published: January 2025

The illusory truth effect - the finding that repeated statements are believed more - is understood as a cognitive bias at the core of the psychology of beliefs. Here, we argue that the effect, rather than representing a flaw in human cognition, is a rational adaptation to generally high-quality information environments. Using a formal model, we show that increasing belief in repeated statements improves belief accuracy when a source is credible (i.e., likely to tell the truth) but sometimes makes errors. The theory unifies four key findings in the literature while predicting a testable edge case for the illusory truth effect: when a source is likely to convey falsehoods. Using a large (N = 4,947) pre-registered online experiment, we show that the illusory truth effect is substantially smaller in a low-quality (mostly false) relative to a high-quality (mostly true) information environment. In fact, a majority of participants in the low-quality condition do not demonstrate any illusory truth effect. We identify the deployment of an alternative strategy in the low-quality condition where participants decrease their belief given repetition. Three process-level indicators - response times, cognitive reflection, and the prior plausibility of items - confirm a rational interpretation that is implemented via adaptive intuitions rather than a controlled process. In sum, we suggest the illusory truth effect may not be purely illusory, highlighting its adaptive foundations and the ability of people to efficiently navigate complex environments.
Surveying the Topography of Post-cinema: The Relocation of Cinematic Experience
Authors: Liu Tongwei
Published: January 2025

The digital and intelligent revolution heralds the advent of the “écran global” era, leading to the miniaturization of screens and films (or videos). The short-micro-moving images have emerged as one of the predominant forms of contemporary audiovisual expression. The key characteristics of traditional cinema have been redefined, leading to a “relocation” of cinema and the cinematic experience—reactivated and reproposed elsewhere than the place in which it was formed, with alternate devices (such as mobile digital devices) and in new environments (such as the peripersonal space). This new form of experience is characterized by two distinct features. Firstly, the short-micro-moving images, by virtue of being presented within peripersonal space, become within-reach. Secondly, the short-micro-moving images, displayed on touchscreens, permit a dual haptic experience. On this basis, a new metaphor regarding screens is proposed—the “skin-screen”. The trajectory of the cinematic experience traces a multi-directional “topography of post-cinema”, aiming to provide a clearer delineation of the “state of post-cinema” and to facilitate more pertinent philosophical reflection.
Computing Gender

Published: January 2025

Studying gender presents unique challenges to data science. Recent work in the spirit of computational social science returns to critical approach to operationalisation providing a fresh perspective on this important topic. In this chapter we highlight works that examines gender computationally, describing how they employ levels of feminist theory to challenge gender inequality at the micro, meso, and macro level. We argue that paying critical attention to how we infer and analyze gender is fruitfully in understanding society and the contributions of research. We also present various sources and methods to infer gender and provide examples of the application of such methods. We conclude by outlining the way forward for computational methods in how gender and intersectional inequality is studied.This is a draft.

Published: January 2025

Individual and communal identities, impacting businesses, professions, cultures, traditions, as well as political and economic factors, have a two-way relationship with the structure of societies. Society also determines the health and well-being of its members. A large proportion of this region's population has migrated to India to earn basic livelihoods, which has led to inherited health consequences. This study examines multiple data sources from the three provinces with the highest poverty rates in Nepal - Sudurpaschim, Karnali, and Lumbini—utilizing a variety of data sources. We searched for literature on Google using the search terms Lumbini, Karnali, Sudurpaschim, health policies, strategic priorities, and Province Government Plans. We also searched online media reports. To enrich the research with real-world perspectives, the study incorporated insights from the members of development project staff working directly within these provinces. The following eight conditions are among the top ten across all three provinces and account for almost 50% of all outpatient (OPD) visits: Lower Respiratory Tract Infection; Musculoskeletal Pain; Falls/Injuries/Fractures; Gastritis; Headache; Presumed Non-Infectious Diarrhoea; Other Surgical Problems; and Upper Respiratory Tract Infection. With rising life expectancy, the issue of older people's health is emerging as a challenge for Nepal's healthcare system. The situation is exacerbated by these provinces' vulnerability to natural disasters, climate change effects, and issues related to human-animal conflict and property damage. In the context where these provinces face a shortage of health workforce, the use of a digital approach could be helpful. Utilizing digital technology has positive impacts on human health outcomes by improving digital health literacy, we concluded that mobilizing community groups to identify problems, collaboratively prioritizing them to develop solutions, and co-creating a digital literacy system can amplify outreach to improve health outcomes for people in Nepal's three poorest provinces.

Authors: Damayanti Natasyah Sri , Ilman SM Andi Mujahidil , Abu Nawas Sitti Syakirah
Published: January 2025

The increasing consumption of digital content has highlighted the importance of digital literacy education, particularly in dealing with controversial content. This research analyzes the case of the viral video 'Pastor Gilbert' on social media. The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach, referring to Jurgen Hubermas' communication theory. Data was obtained through content analysis of discussions that emerged on social media as well as public discussion forums. Pastor Gilbert's controversial statement that sparked public outrage shows the importance of understanding and verifying digital content. The research emphasizes that digital literacy equips individuals with the ability to critically assess content, mitigate disinformation, and participate in constructive discussions. Through analyzing responses on social media, the study reveals a spectrum of reactions based on varying levels of digital literacy, highlighting the need for comprehensive digital education. Effective digital literacy programs can encourage healthier public discourse, prevent conflict escalation and promote a more harmonious society. This study recommends the integration of digital literacy into formal education and community training programs to improve critical thinking, ethical communication and responsible use of social media. The findings suggest that improved digital literacy is essential for navigating and resolving religious controversies in the digital age

Deciphering the Dynamics of Facial Skin Aging and the Efficacy of Anti-Aging Eye Cream Through In Vivo Two-Photon Microscopy
Authors: Hu Fan
Published: January 2025

Background: Skin aging is a multifactorial process influenced by genetic and environmental factors, manifesting prominently on the face. Variations in aging effects across facial areas necessitate advanced imaging for detailed assessment.

Materials and Methods: We utilized a portable handheld two-photon microscope (TPM) for in vivo exploration of skin aging alterations in the periocular and cheek areas of a Chinese female population. This study included 107 healthy volunteers, aged between 18 to 60 years, categorized into four age intervals. Our research extended to a clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of a novel anti-aging eye cream rich in plant extracts, peptides, and antioxidants. This formulation was assessed for its potential in enhancing skin hydration, elasticity, and reducing wrinkles. Participants applied the eye cream twice daily for 8 weeks, with skin parameters measured at baseline and at intervals throughout the study period.

Results: Our findings reveal significant variations in epidermal thickness (ET) and dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ) indices with age, particularly noting a decrease in ET and flattening of the DEJ in older age groups. The anti-aging eye cream demonstrated marked improvements in skin hydration levels, elasticity, and a reduction in under-eye wrinkles and crow's feet, underscoring the formula's anti-aging benefits.

Conclusion: This study highlights the value of two-photon microscopy in providing detailed insights into the structural changes associated with skin aging, particularly in facial regions. The clinical evaluation of the anti-aging eye cream further confirms its efficacy in addressing key signs of aging, paving the way for personalized skincare treatments. Our findings underscore the therapeutic promise of targeted anti-aging formulations in mitigating the visible effects of skin aging.

Czasopismo naukowe diecezji rzeszowskiej „Resovia Sacra” zostało założone w 1994 roku. Przez 25 lat jego istnienia ukazały się 22 tomy, w tym trzy obejmujące okres dwóch lub trzech lat. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest próba ukazania historii czasopisma naukowego diecezji rzeszowskiej w pierwszych 25 latach jego funkcjonowania (1994-2019). W związku z tym w niniejszym opracowaniu omówiono powstanie i rozwój czasopisma, jego zakres i cel, osoby zaangażowane w jego wydawanie i treść, problematykę badawczą, strukturę czasopisma i dane statystyczne, przynależność do baz danych naukowych oraz perspektywy rozwoju na kolejne lata.
Pozyskiwanie inkunabułów przez biblioteki klasztorne w XVIII-wiecznej Warszawie na przykładzie sześciu druków popijarskich i pomisjonarskich pochodzących ze zbiorów Józefa Andrzeja Załuskiego
Authors: Osuch Martyna
Published: January 2025

Celem artykułu jest zwrócenie uwagi na fakt pozyskiwania i przechowywania inkunabułów przez warszawskie klasztory w XVIII wieku oraz wskazanie, w jaki sposób przyczyniło się to do przetrwania XV-wiecznych woluminów. Sześć druków stanowiących przedmiot artykułu zostało w XVIII stuleciu sprowadzonych zza granicy przez Józefa Andrzeja Załuskiego, a następnie trafiło do książnic stołecznych misjonarzy i pijarów. Omawiane druki to najprawdopodobniej dublety Biblioteki Załuskich, które poprzez darowiznę, sprzedaż lub wymianę trafiły do bibliotek klasztornych. W tekście wyjaśnię, dlaczego książki te nie podzieliły losu warszawskich kolekcji publicznych spalonych przez Niemców w 1944 roku, zaakcentuję także potrzebę badań proweniencyjnych w instytucjach kościelnych. Analiza cech indywidualnych (znaki własnościowe, ślady lektury), zwłaszcza w przypadku zbiorów warszawskich, może przyczynić się nie tylko do rekonstrukcji kolekcji historycznych, ale też do rozwoju badań nad obiegiem książki w stolicy w epoce nowożytnej.
Inwentarz wyposażenia kaplicy zamkowej w Starogrodzie z 1685 roku
Authors: Łyczak Bartłomiej
Published: January 2025

Zamek w Starogrodzie pod Chełmnem wybudowany został w XIII wieku przez zakon krzyżacki. Po przejęciu warowni przez Królestwo Polskie w 1505 roku została ona ofiarowana przez króla Aleksandra Jagiellończyka biskupom chełmińskim. Kaplica zamkowa, znajdująca się na piętrze, w południowo-zachodnim narożniku, w dalszym ciągu pełniła funkcje sakralne. Pomimo licznych prac budowlanych prowadzonych na zamku po zniszczeniach powstałych wskutek wojny trzynastoletniej i potopu szwedzkiego, zachowała ona gotycki charakter architektoniczny. Obiekt został sprzedany i następnie rozebrany krótko po I rozbiorze Polski. Wśród akt z Archiwum Fary Chełmińskiej, obecnie przechowywanych w Archiwum Akt Dawnych Diecezji Toruńskiej, odnaleziono nieznany dotąd badaczom tematu inwentarz świątyni z 1685 roku. Dokument, sporządzony krótko po odnowieniu kaplicy z inicjatywy bp. Kazimierza Jana Opalińskiego, wylicza sprzęty znajdujące się na jej wyposażeniu.
Evolution of Non-religious Functions of Catholic Sanctuaries in the Eastern Borderland of Poland – From Patriotic Manifestations to Interfaith Dialogue and Integration
Authors: Flaga Małgorzata
Published: January 2025

The paper concerns two significant, non-religious but social functions of Polish Catholic worship centres, namely: patriotic and integrative role. This issue is discussed on the basis of the selected sanctuaries of the eastern borderland of Poland, precisely in the Lublin province. In the past, it was multicultural and multidenominational area and presently it is famous for its rich history and cultural heritage reflected in, among other things, religious centres. The description of the sanctuaries proves their commitment in the political and social life of Poland. The spiritual guardians of the sanctuaries always manifested strong patriotic attitude that corresponded with national events and needs. At various stages of the history, religious centres actively participated in initiatives and the matters of the entire nation. Those traditions survived until today as the current activities of the regional sanctuaries are still closely related to the socio-political situation of the country. But the essential task of the Church is not any longer to urge the Poles to fight for independence, but to work towards mutual knowledge, understanding as well as uniting the local, multi-faith communities.
„Listy do Redakcji”: o znaczeniu wileńskich tygodników „Przyjaciel Ludu” (1906-1909), „Zorza Wileńska” (1905-1909) dla czytelnika
Authors: Mastianica-Stankiewicz Olga
Published: January 2025

Do badań wykorzystano rzadkie i unikalne źródło – listy czytelników do tygodników „Przyjaciel Ludu” (1905-1910) oraz „Zorza Wileńska” (1905-1909), które w Wilnie na początku XX wieku wydawały razem duchowieństwo katolickie i inteligencja świecka. Tygodniki te kierowane były do określonej grupy czytelników – chłopów, a ich cel stanowiło reformowanie życia chłopskiego poprzez naukę, począwszy od codziennych nawyków, a skończywszy na uczestnictwie w życiu politycznym i kształtowaniu polskiej świadomości narodowej. Odręczne listy czytelników, rozproszone w różnych litewskich instytucjach pamięci, po raz pierwszy trafiają do obiegu naukowego. Osobno prezentowane są listy do tygodnika „Przyjaciel Ludu”, przechowywane w archiwum Kurii Archidiecezji Wileńskiej, które dotychczas w ogóle nie były znane badaczom. Opracowanie składa się z czterech części. W pierwszej przedstawiono główne programowe cele tygodników, dyskusję na temat treści tygodnika, stosunek redakcji do potencjalnego czytelnika – chłopa. Taka analiza wywodów ideowych gazet jest konieczna, aby określić oczekiwania i ewentualne potrzeby czytelników. W drugiej części artykułu omówiono kilka kwestii. Po pierwsze, celem badania jest ustalenie, w jaki sposób redaktorzy tygodników pracowali z listami od czytelników. Po drugie, zbadano, w jaki sposób redakcje starały się utrzymywać stałą komunikację z czytelnikami i aktywizować czytelność swoich gazet. Odrębnie zbadano pochodzenie terytorialne adresatów listów i podjęto próbę odpowiedzi na jedno z najtrudniejszych pytań – jakie znaczenie dla swoich czytelników miały tygodniki, dlaczego zdecydowano się napisać do redakcji, jakie cele realizowano i jakie pokładano oczekiwania.
Losy tapiserii katedry wileńskiej na tle dramatycznych wydarzeń w 1931 roku
Authors: Chabiera Piotr
Published: January 2025

Artykuł ma na celu przedstawienie dotąd niepublikowanych badań na temat roli i działalności Mariana Morelowskiego w ratowaniu bezcennej kolekcji tapiserii katedry wileńskiej w związku z konsekwencjami tragicznej powodzi w 1931 roku w Wilnie. W 1931 roku zima na ziemiach północno-wschodniej Polski była bardzo mroźna i obfitowała w opady śniegu. Jeszcze w połowie kwietnia na polach leżał śnieg i panowały niskie temperatury. Topnienie mas śniegu zalegających w całym regionie Wileńszczyzny spowodowało raptowne przybieranie wód lokalnych rzek, co w konsekwencji doprowadziło do zalania Wilna z jego cennymi zabytkami, w tym katedry. Paradoksalnie powódź przyczyniła się do wielkiego odkrycia, które nastąpiło w czasie akcji konserwatorskiej w podziemiach katedry. Odnaleziono tam grobowce królewskie Aleksandra Jagiellończyka oraz żon Zygmunta Augusta – Elżbiety Habsburżanki i Barbary Radziwiłłówny. Jednak skala zniszczeń spowodowanych powodzią była tak ogromna, że dalsze prace konserwatorskie wymagały dużych nakładów finansowych, co zaczęło przekraczać możliwości władz kościelnych. Kuria Metropolitalna w Wilnie, zagrożona koniecznością przerwania prac zabezpieczających przed katastrofą budowlaną, bez konsultacji społecznej, postanowiła uzyskać fundusze potrzebne na dalsze roboty ze sprzedaży za granicę dziesięciu bezcennych tapiserii z XVII wieku, przechowywanych w skarbcu katedralnym. Do sprawy ratowania tych niezwykle cennych tkanin przyłączył się aktywny społecznie i naukowo historyk sztuki z Uniwersytetu Stefana Batorego w Wilnie – prof. M. Morelowski. Dzięki badaniom dokumentów należących do spuścizny po Morelowskim zgromadzonych w Bibliotece im. Wróblewskich Litewskiej Akademii Nauk w Wilnie i Bibliotece Uniwersytetu Wileńskiego w Wilnie, jak również archiwaliów będących w posiadaniu Działu Rękopisów Zakładu Narodowego im. Ossolińskich we Wrocławiu i Archiwum Akt Nowych w Warszawie oraz za sprawą rozmów przeprowadzonych z wybranymi osobami udało się odnaleźć wiele nowych, nieznanych i niepublikowanych informacji na temat istoty problemu badawczego.
Teaching Italian Opera from the metrical functions of the libretto: The “ESTRO-VERSO” competition experience at the Conservatoire of Terni (Italy)
Authors: Filocamo Gioia
Published: January 2025

In the librettos of Italian operas, characters often associate precise metrical functions with certain personal features. For example, comical or low-class characters express themselves in octosyllables (verses with a hammered rhythm pattern), while serious and more socially important characters prefer the nobler septenaries (verses with mobile accents). There are also exceptions, which can be explained according to specific dramaturgical situations. These metrical differences have an impact on the musical development of the sung poetry. In fact, students at the Conservatoire should always be aware of the close connection between poetry and music. For this reason, I have just devised the first national competition based on Italian metrics, called “ESTRO-VERSO” (‘ESplora e TROva il VERSO giusto’ = ‘Explore and find the right verse’). It will take place during the academic year 2024/25 at the Conservatoire “Giulio Briccialdi” of Terni (Italy).

various industries, including electrical microchannels, engines, spacecraft,nuclear, and solar energy. Nanofluids are created by floating small nanoparticlesin base fluids such as water or ethylene glycol, with or without stabilizingmethods. The typical size of nanoparticles is less than 100 nm2. Nanofluidthermosetting adhesives have the advantages of enhanced bonding strength,improved thermal conductivity, and reduced curing time. These qualities mightimprove the performance of thermosetting adhesives, which harden or set whenheated. However, the creation of such adhesives would necessitate variousdisadvantages, such as high cost of production and potential health andenvironmental risks. Understanding the physicochemical mechanism of usingnanofluids in the adhesive would be critical. This would include examining theeffects of particle size, shape, surfactant, temperature, etc. on thermalconductivity. While developing nanofluid thermosetting adhesives offers greatopportunities, it also requires overcoming several technical hurdles. Further studyin this area may lead to the creation of adhesives with improved thermal andadhesive qualities. Applications of nanofluid adhesives might cover a broad areaof the wood industry, particularly furniture manufacturing and wooden flooring.This study reviewed possible methods of synthesizing, characterization, andapplications of nanofluid thermosetting adhesives for wood-based composites.

With increasing industrialization, the environmental impact of human activitycontinues to grow, leading to greater waste production and a depletion of naturalresources. The search for alternative, sustainable materials has become a pressingpriority, particularly in industries like furniture manufacturing. Driftwood, anatural resource carried to oceanic and coastal areas by currents, ice, and waves,presents a unique opportunity in this context. Originating primarily from borealforests in Siberia and Russia, driftwood undergoes natural modifications due toprolonged exposure to seawater and Arctic ice, influencing its physical andmechanical properties. This paper investigates the origins, properties, andpotential applications of driftwood, emphasizing its role as a sustainable resourcefor industrial use. Driftwood’s machinability, density, and structural integrity areanalyzed alongside its historical and modern applications, ranging fromconstruction and fuel in medieval Iceland to contemporary uses in art, furniture,and eco-friendly building materials. Additionally, innovative research exploringdriftwood-derived products such as thermo-acoustic panels and bricks highlightsits relevance to circular economy practices. The study concludes that whiledriftwood holds significant promise as an alternative material, challenges relatedto its structural properties and availability, exacerbated by climate change, requirefurther research. Nevertheless, integrating driftwood into industrial practicescould advance sustainability by reducing waste, preserving natural resources, andpromoting a transition to a circular economy

ÖRGÜTSEL SİNİZMİN İŞE YABANCILAŞMA İLE İŞTEN AYRILMA NİYETİNE ETKİSİ: MUHASEBE ÇALIŞANLARI ÜZERİNE BİR ARAŞTIRMA
Authors: Öztürk Funda , Kaymak Gamze
Published: January 2025

Örgütlerin en önemli kaynağı çalışanlarıdır. Dolayısıyla örgüt içerisinde çalışana yapılan yatırımın, örgütün performansına ve rekabet ortamı içerisinde kendisine yapılmış olan pozitif katkı olduğu ifade edilebilir. Tam aksi durumda ise çalışanlarına negatif tutumlarla yaklaşan örgütlerin bu durumdan oldukça olumsuz etkilenebileceği söylenebilir. Özellikle örgütsel sinizm kavramının, çalışan bireylerin yer aldıkları iş ortamına karşı beslemekte olduğu olumsuz tutum ve düşünceleri içerdiği düşünüldüğünde, insan kaynağına olumlu katkılar yapılmadığında örgütte çeşitli sorunların meydana gelebileceği düşünülebilir. Nitekim iş yerindeki olumsuz tutum ve düşüncelerin kişilerin kendilerini kurumlarından soyutlayarak işe yabancılaşmalarına ve işten ayrılma niyeti içerisine girebilmelerine neden olabileceğini söyleyebilmek mümkündür. Bu bağlamda araştırmanın amacı, örgütsel sinizmin işe yabancılaşma ve işten ayrılma niyeti üzerine etkisi bulunup bulunmadığını tespit etmektir. Çalışmanın örneklemini İzmir il ve ilçelerinde çalışmakta olan 332 muhasebe çalışanı oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın tanımlayıcı istatistikleri, normallik dağılımı, geçerliliği, güvenilirliği ve korelasyon analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ayrıca çalışma modeli doğrultusunda oluşturulan hipotezleri test etmek için regresyon analizinden faydalanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda örgütsel sinizmin, işe yabancılaşma ve işten ayrılma niyeti üzerinde pozitif yönde anlamlı etkisinin bulunduğu saptanmıştır. Ek olarak ise örgütsel sinizmin bilişsellik, duyuşsallık ve davranışsallık boyutlarının işe yabancılaşma ile işten ayrılma niyeti üzerinde anlamlı ve pozitif etkisinin bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Sovyetler Birliği, İkinci Dünya Savaşı’nda Nazi Almanya’sının saldırısına uğramış ve bu saldırıya karşı koyabilmek için halkının Alman ordularına karşı mücadele etmesine çalışmıştır. Sovyet propagandası, Alman askerlerini katliam yapan, acımasız kişiler olarak anlatırken aynı zamanda kullanılan çeşitli metaforlar üzerinden de Alman ordusuna karşı duyulan öfkeyi arttırmayı amaçlamıştır. Sovyetler Birliği, Nazizm ideolojisine karşı hazırlanan çeşitli metaforlarla Komünizm ideolojisini tehdit eden Nazizm ideolojisine karşı halkın topyekûn seferber olmasına çalışmıştır. Çalışmada İkinci Dünya Savaşı’nda Sovyet propagandasında Nazizm ideolojisine yönelik kullanılan metaforlar incelenerek Sovyet halkına Nazizm ideolojisinin metaforlar üzerinden ne şekilde yansıtıldığının tespit edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla İkinci Dünya Savaşı’nda Nazizm ideolojisine yönelik çeşitli metaforlar kullanan Sovyet propaganda posterleri, göstergebilimsel açıdan analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada elde edilen bulgularda Nazizm ideolojisine yönelik canavar, akbaba, yaban domuzu ve kurt şeklinde metaforların kullanılarak Nazizm ideolojisine karşı Sovyetler Birliği halkında korku duygusunun oluşturulmasına çalışıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu şekilde çalışmada propaganda posterleri üzerinden hem Sovyetler Birliği’nin savaş çabalarına katılmasına hem de ideolojik olarak mücadelenin meşrulaştırılmasına çalışıldığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
