Social well-being of Russian youth in the conditions of the special military operation
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Smirnov Vladimir A.
Published: November 2024

The geopolitical situation in which Russia finds itself requires the mobilization of social capital. The younger generation plays an important role in this process. The development of the Russian state depends on the level of young people’s resilience, their ability to act effectively in conditions of uncertainty and great challenges. A special military operation is a kind of a “litmus test” that allows assessing the younger generation’s psychological stability. In this article, the author analyzes the social well-being of young Russians, assessing it as an indicator of resilience and ability to overcome stress. The article is based on the results of an empirical sociological study conducted in February 2023 in ten subjects of the Central Federal District of the Russian Federation, as well as on the territory of the Republic of Crimea. The study was conducted using an online questionnaire. The study sample is quota-based, stratified by gender. The sample size is 960 people, aged 18 to 29 years. The article concludes that a significant part of Russian youth is experiencing emotional decline and a high level of stress, closely related to the conduct of the special military operation. The high level of stress experienced has an impact on young people’s life strategies and behavior. Under the influence of stress, a significant number of young people abandon long-term planning and building their life trajectory. This contributes to the reproduction of dysfunctional social practices (for example, in the field of demography) and also leads to a decrease in interest in long-term state and public projects. An important conclusion is the high level of migration sentiments of Russian youth: 53% of respondents declare their desire to stay in Russia, 47% of respondents either consider leaving the country or do not exclude such an option. According to the author, the dispositions of the younger generation in the conditions of the special military operation are not a manifestation of a civil position, but rather represent the simplest mechanism for coping with a difficult life situation. In this context, the conclusion is made about the low efficiency of socialization institutions in Russia, which are not able to form the competence of resilience and readiness to act in difficult circumstances in young people.
Practices of collecting personal data and their perception in the public consciousness

Published: November 2024

The problem of collecting personal data has long been and remains on the periphery of interest on the part of Russians, being in the second echelon of topics of public discourse that are important to them. Citizens traditionally rely not on themselves, but on government agencies in this matter, with little or no reflection on how protected they actually are from potential risks. Privacy in our world is becoming illusory; any action on the Internet a priori implies a citizen’s refusal to have reasonable expectations for the safety of posted data. Various companies often use this for different purposes, including interference in socio-political processes. In this article, based on materials from a quantitative study conducted in April–May 2023 among 1,000 residents of the Republic of Mordovia, surveyed using a representative quota sample, we examine their attitude towards the practices of collecting personal data from companies. The results of the study show that every second respondent does not know that companies collect personal data about users on social networks and can subsequently use it to their advantage. Such practices are subject to severe obstruction: the vast majority experience expressed negative emotions in relation to them, such as hostility, irritation, fear, disgust, and hatred. The consequence of this is a low level of trust in these types of companies. It was revealed that, with a high degree of probability, the main predictor of awareness of the practices of collecting personal data is the type of place of residence – the indicator increases noticeably in the regional capital and decreases beyond its borders. Another parameter that could potentially have an impact is the level of education; as a rule, greater awareness is recorded among people who have ever studied at a university. The problem of perceptions of personal data collection may have significant implications for social theory as a whole. Even classic works in the field of sociology postulate that, as soon as individuals become aware of excessive control from others, they are forced to change their behavior, and sometimes this becomes the cause of a number of destructive phenomena (for example, increased suicide rates). Managing privacy regimes is becoming an important idea, but it must be of a conscious nature to individuals; they must take a responsible approach to signing user agreements and building behavioral boundaries on the Internet and social networks.
Political values of Russian youth: Traditional meanings in modern conditions
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Selezneva Antonina V.
Published: November 2024

The article presents the results of a political-psychological study of the political values of Russian youth. The conceptual model of the study is based on an understanding of political values as semantic dominants of individual and group political consciousness. The empirical basis of the study was data from a survey of young people aged 14 to 30, conducted using survey procedures (n = 2500) and focus groups (n = 8). In the system of political values of Russian youth, the most significant are peace, security, justice, human rights, legality, freedom, order, and the least significant is nationalism. Young people’s understanding of justice includes both rationalistic socio-economic and political-legal interpretations, as well as spiritual and moral meanings traditional for our mentality (truth, honesty, decency). At the same time, it is the traditional understanding of justice that directly correlates with the current demand of young people for sincerity and honesty in politics. Freedom, in terms of semantic content, combines historically established moral (including religious) and rationalistic principles. It is perceived by young people as independence, will (liberty), security. Patriotism is one of the ten most significant political values, but does not occupy a leading position. Most young people in our country consider themselves patriots. Among the traditional semantic lines of understanding patriotism, the position of “love for the Fatherland” is dominant, reflecting the emotional nature of young people’s value-based attitude to their country. Russian youth are characterized by so-called paternalistic attitudes and orientations, which express their value-based attitude towards the state. Young people’s ideas about the state include not only political, but also sociocultural components that have deep historical roots. In addition, young people perceive the state as the subject of the implementation of their political values. Traditionality itself, as an axiological concept, has little meaning that is not entirely defined for young people. As a result of the study, it is concluded that traditional components have been updated in the system of political values of modern Russian youth. They manifest themselves both at the level of the hierarchy of values and in the semantic content of axiological concepts.

Published: November 2024

Bu çalışmanın amacı ölçme biliminde önemli bir kavram olan tekboyutluluk kavramının incelenmesi ve KTK çerçevesinde tekboyutluluk incelemelerinde kullanılan KR-20, Omega ve Özdeğer Oranı indekslerinin incelenmesi ve değerlendirilmesidir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda çeşitli faktörlere (örneklem büyüklüğü, madde sayısı, boyutlar arası korelasyon ve faktör yük ortalaması) göre veri üretimi yapılmıştır. Veri üretimi ve analizi R Programı 4.2.3. versiyonu kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Üretilmiş veriler üzerinde KR-20, Omega ve Özdeğer Oranı ortalama indekslerine göre inceleme yapılmış ve elde edilen sonuçlara ilişkin oranlar tablolaştırılıp, çok yüzeyli grafikleme ile görselleştirilmiştir. Analiz ve grafikleme işlemleri araştırmacı tarafından yazılmış olan program aracılığıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Farklı değişimleme ölçütlerine göre KR-20, Omega ve Özdeğer Oranı katsayılarının ortalama değerleri hesaplanıp karşılaştırma yapılmıştır. Tekboyutluluk incelemesi için güvenirliğe dayalı yöntemlerden olan KR-20 ve faktör analizine dayalı yöntemlerden biri olan Omega indekslerinin ortalama değerleri tüm değişimlemelerde birbirlerine çok yakın değerler almışlardır. Değişimlenen koşullardan en çok Özdeğer Oranı ortalama değeri etkilenmiştir. Tekboyutluluk için değişen koşullarda daha hassas sonuçlar elde edilmek istenildiğinde temel bileşenlere dayalı bir indeks olan Özdeğer Oranı indeksi kullanılması önerilebilir.
Yüksek binalarda asansör destekli tahliye (ADT) stratejilerinin etkinliği: Mersin Metropol Binası örneği

Published: November 2024

Bu çalışma, yüksek binalardaki geleneksel tahliye prosedürlerinin etkinliğini anlamak ve geliştirmek için yeni bir yaklaşım sunmaktadır. Türkiye'deki Mersin Metropol Binası, vaka çalışması olarak incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın temel yeniliği, yüksek binalardaki tahliyelerde asansörlerin rolünü incelemesidir. Geleneksel olarak, merdivenler temel tahliye aracı olmuştur, ancak bu araştırma, asansörlerin etkin bir şekilde kullanılması durumunda tahliye sürelerini önemli ölçüde azaltabileceğini öne sürmektedir. Bu hipotezi test etmek için, Ajan Tabanlı Modelleme yazılımı ve binanın orijinal planlarına dayalı CAD modelleri üzerinden bilgisayar simülasyonları kullanılmıştır. Simülasyonlar, farklı asansör ve merdiven kullanım kombinasyonlarını içeren çeşitli senaryoları keşfetmektedir. Sonuçlar çarpıcıdır: asansör ve merdiven kullanımının dengeli bir yaklaşımı (senaryo 3 - %50 asansör, %50 merdiven) tahliye süresini yaklaşık %40 oranında, 49 dakikadan (sadece merdiven kullanarak) 29 dakikaya indirebilmektedir. Ayrıca, sadece asansör kullanımı (senaryo 5) 39 dakikalık bir tahliye süresiyle sonuçlanmıştır, bu da sadece merdivenlere güvenmekten (senaryo 1 - 49 dakika) daha verimli olduğunu kanıtlamaktadır. Bu bulgular, yüksek binaların tasarımı ve yönetimi için önemli etkilere sahiptir. Tahliye planlamasında genellikle göz ardı edilen asansörlerin, bina sakinlerinin güvenliğini ve refahını sağlamada hayati bir rol oynayabileceğini göstermektedir. Bu önemli bulgulara ek olarak, çalışma tahliye verimliliğini etkileyen faktörlerin ayrıntılı bir analizini sunmaktadır. Yüksek binalardaki standart tahliye prosedürlerini iyileştirmek için potansiyel stratejileri tartışmaktadır. Bu araştırma, yüksek binaların tahliyesi konusundaki bilgi birikimine katkıda bulunmakta ve mimarlar, mühendisler ve bina yöneticileri için pratik bilgiler sunmaktadır.

“Psalmen in den Nacht”
Authors: Murray Isabel
Published: November 2024

“Psalmen in den Nacht”: 200 Years of Church Hymns created and sung in the Cape of Storms and the Cape of Good HopeJan van Riebeeck brought the Genevan Psalms with him to the Cape, setting the scene for the DRC’s church music development. By 1824, various faith groups have congregated in the Cape Colony, each introducing their religious music and practices. For the next two hundred years the officials connected to the Cape Synod would diligently collect and store the thousands of documents, hymnbooks, even musical instruments and technology relating the story of the DRC’s church music. In 2024 a comprehensive process of establishing an inclusive DRC Church Music Collection has been launched, requiring a re-focus to acknowledge influences and contributions from people and sources. This article highlights a few of the more unexpected findings, such as the contributions made by the fictional “Oom Willem Smit”; the “pastor of the Richtersveld”, Eerwaarde JF Hein; “ziekentrooster” Mother Machteldt Smit of the Cape and the revival singer Ira D Sankey and ABW-prisoner Willie Louw. Lastly, a few examples are given of the DRC’s pioneer missionaries’ influence on African indigenous music, such as the Chechewa Hymnbook.
Akiga Sai from the perspective of Dutch Reformed Church missionaries:
Authors: Smit Lizelle
Published: November 2024

Akiga Sai (1898-1959) is heralded as one of the few indigenous African anthropologists and historians of the early twentieth century. His work for the Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa (DRCSA) as evangelist, teacher, and translator (1915-1945), however, is under-researched. Furthermore, despite the significance of Sai’s life and work, no biography of his life has been published. This article illustrates that it is possible to extract valuable biographical and contextual data regarding Sai from the records of the DRCSA Sudan Mission, demonstrating the collection’s value regarding early documentation of indigenous communities. By compiling a partial biographical profile of the Nigerian Tiv writer, politician, translator, and evangelist Akiga Sai as a case study, this article highlights the importance of the DRCSA’s archival collections, specifically the documentation relating to the Cape Synod’s Sub-Commission for Foreign Missions [Buitelandse Sending Subkommissie]. Part of the DRCSA’s heritage is its archive: the rich and varied sources, available in a wide variety of languages, contains valuable information about aspects of (Southern) African history unavailable elsewhere.
UKRAINIAN KOBZARS TRADITION: EVOLUTION AND STAGES OF REACTUALIZATION OF A SOCIO-CULTURAL PHENOMENON
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Paslavsky Andriy
Published: November 2024

Backgraund. The article is devoted to a generalized overview of the complex socio-cultural phenomenon of kobzars tradition, in particular, evolutionary changes in the forms, functional features of this phenomenon and its components during the period available for ethnological analysis (nineteenth and twentieth centuries). The object of the article's analysis is the repertoire, instruments, stylistics, and form of activity of professional and amateur performers, generally called kobza and bandura players, their social status and function, moments of social self-organization, and stratification of the phenomenon. Methods. To analyze the phased changes in the image and function of the kobza-bandura player in the Ukrainian national cultural process, the emergence and changes of the stereotypical paradigm, the comparative-historical and descriptive methods, as well as the method of complex analysis were used. Results. Research attention is focused on the specification and analysis of the three main historical stages of the phenomenon under study, the historical context that led to structural, functional and semantic transformations. The main attention is paid to the last stage - the folklore reproductive school, which combined the two previous stages and represents the object of study in the National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage. The analysis was carried out at three levels: instrumental, repertoire, structure and socio-cultural place of performers. Conclusions. The Kobzars tradition as a complex socio-cultural phenomenon has a multidimensional structure, which made it adaptable and capable of rapid modifications of its constituent elements in order to maintain its presence and hold dominant positions not only in the field of traditional culture, but also in the cultural and political processes of national formation. The article is somewhat polemical in nature, as it raises topical issues of the past and present and reveals controversial forms of manifestation of a genetically unified cultural phenomenon.

Background. The article is devoted to the analysis of the main trends in the development of mass literature in Ukraine in the period of 2022-2023. The specific features of mass literature, its main artistic and stylistic features, and the creative work of Ukrainian writers published, reprinted, and popular among readers during this period are analyzed. Methods. The analytical study was conducted to identify and describe the development trends and future prospects of contemporary mass literature in Ukraine. For this purpose, a quantitative approach was used to review the writers' works presented in the largest and most popular bookstore chains in Ukraine: Yakaboo, Bookstore Ye, Our Format, the online store of the Old Lion Publishing House, A-ba-ba-ga-la-ma-ha, Bukva.UA, etc. The results of the All-Ukrainian rating "Book of the Year" 2021-2022. Results. The presents a compelling argument that the literature devoted to the Russian-Ukrainian war is becoming a distinctive phenomenon that reflects the intricate social and cultural processes unfolding within the country. The author proves that Ukrainian mass literature is a significant socio-cultural phenomenon that retains its vitality and develops even in difficult conditions of war. The role of mass literature in the creation of the Ukrainian literary process, its specific artistic features at the present stage of development is revealed. Conclusions. The results of the study have shown that Ukrainian popular literature is an original and rapidly developing socio-cultural and artistic phenomenon, characterized by creative experiments and synthesis of literary genres. The commercial mass literature of our time is organically related to elite Ukrainian literature, closely connected to it by artistic and intertextual ties. The study identifies several key trends in the development of mass literature in Ukraine in the wartime and postwar periods. Among them are intermediality, synthesis of genres, and rethinking of the characters' images. These trends are aimed at further enriching and developing mass literature, which is becoming a relevant reflection of contemporary cultural reality.
Da regularidade discursiva nos encadeamentos midiáticos

Published: November 2024

Este trabalho realiza um exame comparativo de dois episódios de nossa história política que sugerem a existência de certa regularidade na forma como hoje se coordenam as instâncias midiáticas responsáveis pela circulação do discurso político. Diante da similaridade dos encadeamentos formados entre tais instâncias e das consequências geradas em cada um dos casos, foi estabelecido como objetivo de pesquisa a análise do circuito que as interliga, com o que parecem se coordenar uma série de respostas que terminam por estabilizar uma engrenagem comunicacional efetuada em cadeia. Para pavimentar o percurso de análise, foram conjugados os conceitos de cadeia de gêneros (Swales, 2004), que serve ao propósito de se investigar o modo como se associam os gêneros discursivos, e encadeamento midiático (Primo, 2008), com o qual se deve supor que os diferentes níveis de mídia hoje funcionam de forma articulada pela via de mecanismos intertextuais. Procedendo-se a uma análise das estratégias de retomada utilizadas em cada uma das instâncias comunicacionais, verificou-se que, na cadeia examinada, a TV exerce uma função centralizadora, na medida em que oferece o impulso inicial à formação do circuito no qual os gêneros vão aparecer justapostos, sempre retomando o conteúdo por ela transmitido. Com o estímulo inicial da difusão televisiva, os episódios são comentados de forma crítica nas redes sociais (notadamente no Twitter), do que decorre a representação dessa repercussão nos jornais digitais, e, finalmente, atos e manifestações políticas no espaço das ruas.

The article discusses the technology for automated neural network monitoring of the vineyard’s physiological condition. Images of leaves, obtained using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), are the main indicator of the physiological vineyard’s condition. The proposed solution is based on the integrated use of convolutional neural network method (CNN) and machine vision technologies. To determine the optimal neural network (NN) model, a variant analysis was carried out. In accordance with its results, the YOLOv7 model was chosen, which satisfies the introduced time limit and provides the required detection quality. The training of the YOLOv7 neural network was implemented in the Python environment using the PyTorch framework and the OpenCV computer vision library. The dataset consisting of 6320 images of grape leaves (including healthy and diseased ones) has been used for neural network training. The obtained results showed that the detection accuracy is at least 91%. Visualization of monitoring results has been carried out using heatmap, allowing to obtain information about vineyard physiological condition in dynamics. The proposed mathematical model allows to calculate the monitored vineyard’s area made by one complex per day. The obtained results showed that effective monitoring area using one DJI Phantom 4 UAV per day is 2.5 hectares.

CRISTIANISMO ENTRE O “IDENTITARISMO” PROSELITISTA E A “IDENTIDADE” CATÓLICA INCLUSIVA: UMA REFLEXÃO TEOLÓGICO-MORAL SOBRE RELIGIÃO E CULTURA
Authors: Maria Karolayne Camargo , Boccato de Almeida André Luiz , Ferreira da Silva Albuquerque Lúcia Eliza
Published: November 2024

O artigo reflete criticamente sobre o fenômeno do identitarismo proselitista aludindo à necessidade do retorno da identidade católica inclusiva no atual cenário do catolicismo. Tal compreensão é possível pelo fato da reflexão teológico-moral se deparar com a complexa inculturação da proposta anunciada por Jesus Cristo, por existir expressões de “identidade” católica originadas de um ethos condicionador de culturas, influenciador da moralidade e fortificador de uma crise sociorreligiosa em vigência. Contudo, observa-se reações e resistências para substituir a visão deontológica por uma perspectiva que protagoniza a autonomia do sujeito. A partir disso, desenvolveremos o tema por três momentos: a) tratará a diversidade cultural e identidade; b) retornará a fonte bíblico-teológico sobre a interculturalidade e a necessidade do diálogo; c) indicará, no atual pontificado, elementos que podem ser considerados como caminhos possíveis para a superação da prática do identitarismo cultural no campo religioso, a fim de promover o fortalecimento de comunidades católicas mais plurais.
IMAGENS DA ORIGEM DO BUDISMO PRIMITIVO E SEUS PRINCÍPIOS
Authors: Silva Emerson Luís Pawoski da , Tonetti Emerson Luis
Published: November 2024

O conhecimento sobre o Buda e os anos iniciais do Budismo pode ser aprimorado pelo contraste com outros povos da época. O presente estudo teve como objetivo verificar as menções ao Buda histórico ou Budismo através da busca bibliográfica em indexadores e em documentos históricos. Conforme os textos do Tipitaka e Upanixades, o Buda teria pertencido a um movimento social dissidente. Sua vida foi marcada pela busca do fim da inquietação mental e suas atividades foram objetivaram criar harmonia social baseada na não violência e liberdade individual. Identificou-se semelhantes do Budismo com pensadores gregos em obras de filósofos e historiadores. Inscrições em pedras do Imperador Asoka mostram que o Budismo pode ter se expandido com apoio político. Essas informações indicam que o Budismo Primitivo poderia estar difundido em ideais libertários e pacifistas da época.
JUVENTUDE, BUSCA POR SENTIDO E ESPIRITUALIDADE
Authors: Dentz René Armand
Published: November 2024

No contexto contemporâneo, a centralidade do corpo na busca incessante pela melhoria do desempenho gera um constante mal-estar. A saúde tornou-se o ideal supremo, levando a um estado de estresse permanente. O pânico, como expressão primordial desse mal-estar, é desencadeado socialmente, especialmente em situações de avaliação pelo olhar do outro, levando a uma espacialização dominante na experiência subjetiva. A hiperatividade surge como resposta difusa a esse mal-estar, manifestando-se na explosividade, violência e impulsividade. A falta de simbolização adequada resulta em manifestações emocionais incontroláveis, enquanto o corpo especializado no somático limita o mundo às coordenadas espaciais, eliminando expansão e horizontes. A espiritualidade contemporânea, marcada por valores narcisistas e individualistas, enfrenta desafios diante da pandemia e casos de abuso sexual na igreja. A busca por fundamentos dinâmicos e práticos intensifica o risco de a espiritualidade se tornar narcisista. A teologia da prosperidade, sob uma perspectiva psicanalítica, revela problemas associados ao narcisismo na sociedade. A cultura do narcisismo, impulsionada pelo consumismo, enfraquece os laços sociais, levando a uma busca constante por gratificação imediata. A busca por sentido na juventude contemporânea é marcada por uma angústia existencial e uma experimentação constante. As religiões perdem espaço como fontes estáveis de sentido, dando lugar a espiritualidades plurais e sincréticas. O vazio é preenchido por posições fundamentalistas que oferecem ilusões de preenchimento. Nesse cenário, a pós-verdade se manifesta, refletindo a sociedade narcísica e individualista, onde a emoção supera a razão. A estetização da existência e a busca pelo eu tornam-se dominantes, resultando em um ambiente cultural sem espaço para relações autênticas e rituais simbólicos fundamentais.

A possibility of laser printing of graphene nanoribbon pixels while preserving the integrity of the structure and shape on the silicon substrate in accordance with the irradiated laser spot is demonstrated. To provide the transfer, a target consisting of a transparent sapphire plate and an absorbing thin titanium film (500 nm thick) coated with a film consisting of graphene nanoribbons is irradiated with a KrF excimer laser (λ=248 nm, τ=20 ns). Optimal conditions for laser irradiation are determined and a technique is developed for transferring a carbon nanomaterial from a growth nickel surface to a titanium film aimed at creating stronger bonds between the nanoribbons. Raman spectroscopy confirms the preservation of structural features of the synthesized atomically precise 7-atoms-wide graphene nanoribbons with an armchair edge during laser transfer.

Este livro é uma jornada reflexiva e prática pelo universo da pedagogia, onde a sala de aula é vista não apenas como um espaço de transmissão de conteúdos, mas como um ambiente vivo, dinâmico e essencialmente humano. Aqui, cada capítulo revela novas possibilidades e responsabilidades para o educador, convidando-o a enxergar o ensino como um ato intencional e transformador, capaz de moldar cidadãos críticos, curiosos e preparados para enfrentar as complexidades do mundo. Ao longo das páginas, você encontrará uma análise profunda sobre a integração entre métodos tradicionais e ativos, sempre orientada pela ideia de que o professor é o verdadeiro regente do processo educativo. Como um maestro que harmoniza diferentes instrumentos para criar uma sinfonia, o docente é chamado a equilibrar abordagens, a adaptar-se aos contextos de sua turma e a ver cada prática pedagógica como uma oportunidade de crescimento para si e para seus alunos. A metáfora do espelho aqui se encaixa bem: o que o professor reflete em sala é muitas vezes o que os alunos carregarão consigo, e cada escolha, técnica ou estratégia utilizada é um reflexo de sua intencionalidade pedagógica.
Survey of Thrips (Thysanoptera) Associated with Four Berry Crops in Mexico1
Authors: Ortiz José A. , Infante Francisco , Toledo-Hernández Ricardo A. , Rodríguez Douglas
Published: November 2024

Mexico is one of the major exporters of a variety of berries worldwide. Thrips (Thysanoptera) are highly attracted to berry crops, and several species can become serious pests that limit berry yield. Given the pest status of thrips in berry production and the magnitude and importance of berries for export in Mexico, this study was conducted to survey and identify the thrips fauna associated with commercial berry orchards in Mexico. We sampled berry plants in 41 commercial plantations of blackberry (Rubus spp.), blueberry (Vaccinium spp.), raspberry (Rubus spp.), and strawberry (Fragaria × ananasa) in Guanajuato, Jalisco, Michoacán, and Sinaloa during spring and summer 2020. Our study collected 4,394 thrips specimens belonging to 19 species of thrips. Of those, 53.7% were collected from blackberry, 16.1% from blueberry, 15.5% from strawberry, and 14.8% from raspberry. The predominant species in the four berry crops was Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande). Its relative abundance with respect to other species of thrips collected was 52.9% in blueberry, 69% in raspberry, 79.6% in blackberry, and 88.7% in strawberry. The second most abundant species was Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood, varying from 2.6% in strawberry to 24.6% in blueberry. Other important phytophagous species recorded were Frankliniella cephalica (Crawford) and Frankliniella gossypiana Hood. These four species are invasive, polyphagous, and widespread in Mexico; thus, economic damage by one or more of these species can be expected in locales where management measures are not appropriately applied to avoid economic losses. Data gathered in this survey, coupled with information provided by related studies conducted in Mexico, should serve as a basis for further research dealing with monitoring and management of thrips populations.
Influence of Classroom Management on Intermediate Level Students’ Academic Achievements in Aligarh District of Uttar Pradesh in India
Authors: Zubair Tariq , Qazi Uzma
Published: November 2024

This study investigates the impact of classroom management on student academic achievement at the intermediate level in Aligarh District, Uttar Pradesh, India, using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). A sample of 383 intermediate-level teachers was randomly selected, and student achievement data were obtained from final-year graduates. The study aims to assess the relationships between key classroom management factors—such as classroom rules, discipline methods, reward systems, and the teaching-learning process—and their influence on academic performance. SEM-PLS was employed to analyze the hypothesized model, evaluate the structural relationships between the variables, and validate measurement indicators. The results show a strong positive relationship between effective classroom management and student achievement. Key factors such as well-defined classroom rules, effective discipline, and reward systems were found to significantly influence student engagement and academic success. The model fit indices confirm the robustness of the proposed relationships. This research highlights the importance of structured classroom management in fostering student achievement and provides a comprehensive understanding of how classroom directives, rewards, and disciplinary methods contribute to learning outcomes.

Authors: Mejía Chávez Araceli Olivia , Solleiro Rebolledo José Luis
Published: November 2024

Las pequeñas y medianas empresas (pymes) de la industria alimentaria de la zona metropolitana del valle de México (ZMVM) utilizan la vigilancia tecnológica para la recopilación y análisis sistemático de información de diversas fuentes, con lo que generan conocimiento a través de estudios de mercado, competencia y tendencias tecnológicas, entre otros, que sirve a las empresas para tomar decisiones de manera informada.
La vigilancia tecnológica es una de las cinco funciones que componen el modelo de gestión del Premio Nacional de Tecnología e Innovación de México (PNTi), el cual también suma a la planeación, habilitación, protección e implantación.El objetivo de la presente investigación es analizar las actividades y prácticas de vigilancia tecnológica que realizan las pymes alimentarias de la región y, con base en ello, conocer el impacto de la vigilancia en estas empresas.
El trabajo se llevó a cabo haciendo investigación directa, con la aplicación de encuestas a pymes alimentarias, e investigación de gabinete sobre el tema de estudio. En el trabajo se concluye que la vigilancia tecnológica contribuyó a solucionar necesidades del mercado, a identificar proyectos de desarrollo tecnológico y a mejorar la planificación estratégica y tecnológica en este tipo de empresas.
¿Guerrilleros o campesinos?
Authors: Portela García Juan Camilo
Published: November 2024

Este artículo aborda los procesos de interpretación en la esfera pública a los que dio lugar el Paro Nacional Agrario de 2013 en Colombia y especialmente el modo en que los manifestantes fueron considerados auténticos y legítimos. Con base en un enfoque de sociología cultural, se argumenta que dos procesos simbólicos contribuyeron a la generación de solidaridad social hacia el campesinado durante el paro. Primero, el contexto transicional derivado de los diálogos de paz entre el gobierno y las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) se articuló discursivamente en respaldo a la protesta. Segundo, hubo un proceso de coalición simbólica en torno a la idea de lo campesino como identidad primordial y victimizada que congregó el apoyo de múltiples sectores sociales. A partir de estos procesos, se posicionó en la esfera pública una codificación del paro y a sus protagonistas como legítimos y auténticos, lo que eclipsó la clasificación bélica y antidemocrática de sus motivaciones y actuaciones. Se propone que este caso puede contribuir a iluminar algunos aspectos relevantes para el posicionamiento del populismo agrario, especialmente con relación a la dimensión cultural.
El star system arquitectónico
Authors: Gorostiza Jorge
Published: November 2024

El término star system, aplicado desde hace unos años a unos pocos arquitectos célebres, proviene del sistema de las estrellas cinematográﬁcas creado por los grandes estudios, por ello se comienza con la primera actriz «estrella», Florence Lawrence, para después ir analizando la popularidad de los arquitectos a través de varios medios. Primero el cine y las películas de ﬁcción que cuentan la historia de arquitectos reales. Después la aparición de arquitectos en otros medios: las portadas de revistas populares como Time, los sellos postales estadounidenses, los doodles de Google y los anuncios publicitarios con imágenes de arquitectos. Los arquitectos estrella también cuentan con un parque temático, el de Vitra, con ediﬁcaciones creadas por la mayoría de ellos. El siguiente apartado se dedica a los premios, como el Pritzker, que también hacen que algunos arquitectos alcancen la fama. Se ﬁnaliza centrándose en uno de los starchitects más célebres en todo el mundo, Frank O. Gehry, su propia leyenda heroica, sus apariciones en dos series animadas, Arthur y Los Simpsons, y su protagonismo en el documental hagiográﬁco Sketches of Frank Gehry, dirigido por Sidney Pollack. Se termina recordando el trágico ﬁnal y el olvido de Florence Lawrence.
John F. C. Turner y su visión relacional de la vivienda
Authors: Oyón José Luis
Published: November 2024

Este artículo reconstruye la concepción relacional de la vivienda de John F. C. Turner, un pensamiento sobre el habitar donde tan importante como el objeto físico vivienda son las relaciones que sus habitantes mantienen con el entorno. Esa visión, tomada en esencia de Patrick Geddes, comenzó a forjarse a finales de la década de 1940, fue tomando forma durante su estancia en el Perú entre 1957 y 1964, y alcanzó su expresión teórica definitiva cuando Turner se trasladó a los Estados Unidos. El artículo reflexiona finalmente sobre el relevante papel desempeñado por los antropólogos peruanos y norteamericanos con los que Turner colaboró en Lima y la figura de Charles Abrams en dicha concepción turneriana.
Examinando la relación entre la planeación y la urbanización periférica en Lima
Authors: Lambert Rita
Published: November 2024

Con un enfoque en las particularidades de la urbanización en las laderas periféricas de Lima, este artículo presenta tres objeciones o contraargumentos a la manera en que comúnmente se cualifica a los asentamientos autoconstruidos. En primer lugar, desafía el enfoque de informalidad argumentando que esta perspectiva sitúa a los asentamientos humanos fuera de foco: por un lado, oculta el carácter híbrido de las condiciones implícitas en estos procesos de urbanización; por otro, los presenta como tangenciales a estructuras legales «formales», impidiendo una mejor comprensión de la relación entre la planeación y los procesos de urbanización «informales». A pesar de que muchas ciudades del Sur Global son construidas siguiendo este modelo de urbanización, no deja de percibirse como «por fuera de», «en transgresión de» o «como una falla de» la planeación. En segundo lugar, este artículo cuestiona la valoración de resultados indeseados, tales como la producción y la reproducción del riesgo, como ajenos a la planeación y como consecuencia de la ocupación arbitraria de la tierra y de la falta de conocimiento y de capacidades técnicas de los autoconstructores. En tercer lugar, esta investigación resiste la atribución exclusiva de responsabilidades a la población más desfavorecida por los llamados procesos «informales» de urbanización. En respuesta a estas objeciones, se propone una perspectiva relacional y sociomaterial para entender mejor la urbanización de las laderas.
La arquitectura como medio de empoderamiento cívico
Authors: Maccaglia Marta
Published: November 2024

En el Perú resisten 48 lenguas originarias, 11 regiones ecológicas, 84 de los 117 las diferentes «Zona de vida» en el mundo. ¿Podemos los arquitectos operar desde una acción activa y participativa con respeto y fortaleciendo el hábitat social y así combatir la desigualdad? Si la arquitectura es un arte que genera espacios para vivir mejor, los arquitectos tenemos la responsabilidad de conocer y respetar el territorio y a las personas, para proponer espacios que representen la cultura y el espíritu de cada lugar.Sin embargo, en las ciudades vivimos entre muros físicos que resaltan las desigualdades y visibilizan el miedo que tenemos al otro. En las zonas periféricas y, aún más, en las zonas rurales del país, contribuimos a un sistema que abandona a las comunidades más vulnerables. Frente a este escenario, es que pensamos que el primer muro que tenemos que derribar es el muro en nuestras mentes, y esto es posible sólo a través de un igualitario acceso a la educación. Por ello, nos interesamos en proyectos de arquitectura educativa: la escuela, el primer lugar después de la casa, en el que el niño se desarrolla aprendiendo en sociedad.
KNOW: Coproducción para la igualdad urbana
Authors: Castán Broto Vanessa , Osuteye Emmanuel , Ortiz Catalina , Lipietz Barbara , Johnson Cassidy , Kombe Wilbard
Published: November 2024

Este artículo presenta un examen crítico de la noción de coproducción en la generación de conocimiento urbano. El documento explora la adopción de la idea de coproducción de conocimientos en relación con un concepto paralelo, pero distinto, de coproducción de servicios y la tradición de planificación participativa del desarrollo. En segundo lugar, el documento analiza la variedad de procesos de coproducción que pueden tener lugar en el contexto de la investigación académica. El artículo resalta la importancia de la coproducción de conocimientos en la estrategia de investigación del proyecto KNOW, centrándose en los conocimientos aplicables que pueden favorecer las trayectorias transformadoras hacia la igualdad urbana. Este enfoque se basa en la idea de que la producción de conocimientos sustenta el proceso, la ética y los resultados de cualquier intervención de desarrollo urbano. Usando ejemplos bien documentados de coproducción de conocimientos en la investigación para la igualdad urbana, el artículo analiza cómo se lleva a cabo la coproducción en la práctica. El hecho de centrarse en cómo se utiliza la coproducción en la investigación activa también ayuda a identificar algunas limitaciones y desafíos clave, así como los mecanismos existentes para superarlos. Este debate nos lleva a una propuesta de agenda de investigación sobre la coproducción de conocimientos en el contexto del proyecto KNOW.
Más allá de los modos. La experiencia de la «movilidad sostenible» en las periferias populares de Lima
Authors: Robert Jérémy , Pereyra Omar
Published: November 2024

Este artículo reflexiona sobre la sostenibilidad de la movilidad cotidiana a partir del análisis de las prácticas de los habitantes de dos sectores periféricos populares de la ciudad de Lima. Propone un análisis de las experiencias de uso de los modos «sostenibles» (caminata, bicicleta y transporte público) y de los «no sostenibles». Se evidencian obstáculos relacionados con las distancias, la pendiente o la inseguridad, y cómo estos influyen en las estrategias de movilidad y la elección de modos. Las características del entorno y las necesidades de movilidad en las periferias populares dificultan el uso de los modos «sostenibles», en comparación con los modos «no sostenibles» como los mototaxis, el taxi o colectivo, e incluso las combis, que facilitan en muchos sentidos la movilidad de las personas a pesar de haber limitantes en términos de seguridad y costo.
Transporte urbano y emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero en América Latina. Una modelización de las emisiones de la movilidad urbana aplicada a Bogotá y Lima
Authors: Thomas Hugo
Published: November 2024

En América Latina, el transporte urbano tiene una enorme influencia en la emisión de gases de efecto invernadero responsables del cambio climático. Las políticas públicas intentan incluir la mitigación del cambio climático en la planificación urbana mediante planes de acción; sin embargo, carecen de herramientas para calcular las emisiones y evaluar el efecto de las medidas propuestas. Las encuestas de movilidad urbana son una fuente de datos pertinente para conocer las características de los viajes de las personas. Este artículo presenta una metodología de modelización de emisiones basada en encuestas de movilidad cruzadas con las características de los vehículos y de los combustibles, con el fin, aunque no exclusivo, de producir datos que respalden las políticas públicas. Las herramientas del análisis espacial se aprovechan también para crear mapas y cartogramas que representan de forma original las desigualdades ecológicas.
