Seeing the Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women Crisis
Authors: Mamers Danielle Taschereau
Published: May 2024

This chapter addresses the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women (MMIW) and examines how it was made legible to the state after decades of denial and inaction. Various studies and investigations (including the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry and the RCMP investigation) increased visibility of the MMIW crisis but failed to articulate its roots in the settler colonial state. Indigenous artists, alongside activists and family members, have been at the forefront of advocacy for MMIW crisis. This chapter examines several such artists including Tanya Tagaq, Rebecca Belmore, and Christi Belcourt. Their work engages various strategies for making the crisis understood in ways that exceed statistics, which erase individual identities and obscure the link between violence against Indigenous women and the settler colonial state as the cause of that violence.
Spectacles beyond the Limits of Exhaustion
Authors: Gonzaga Elmo
Published: May 2024

Chapter 3 comparatively examines the vernacular cultures of consumerism and spectatorship in the Manila Carnival in Manila and Great World and New World Amusement Parks in Singapore during the 1930s, which extended the productive capacities of entrepôt workers beyond their limitations. Dissecting Fredric Thomson’s early twentieth-century concept of “carnival spirit,” it analyzes the sensorial immersion of carnival rides and boxing matches, whose spectacular experiences exposed urban residents to thrilling, innocuous forms of violence and death. Contrasting them to docile cognitive absorption in the colonial government’s mass industrial and sports spectacles, it uncovers how amateur sporting clubs cultivated physical and collective activities that prepared the local population for future conditions of sovereignty and self-determination amid their restricted access to democratic participation.
Hegel, the Dead Disposition, and the Mortification of Freedom
Authors: Ruda Frank
Published: May 2024

This chapter shows how freedom for Hegel cannot ever exist in opposing indifference externally, but that it implies the need to traverse it. It shows how Hegel explodes Kant’s analysis of the problematic understanding of freedom as indifferent capacity to choose by indicating that it leads to a peculiar and far-more problematic form of public indifference, an indifference toward philosophy (or in short: nihilism).
Antigone as Kurdish Politician
Authors: Üstündağ Nazan
Published: May 2024

Inspired by the theorization of the figure and myth of Antigone by feminist political philosophers, this chapter interrogates the different temporalities, limits, and thresholds Kurdish woman politicians occupy. It also engages with the question of what happens when Creon does not die, Heamon marries another, and Antigone’s performance is reiterated by other women? In other words, what about life after tragedy; how do women articulate spaces from which to talk about the truth? The chapter shows that by occupying the limits of the political, women politicians enact an alternative women’s political imagination through their speech and perform the incongruity between the law and Kurdishness. Speech becomes a pure means without a foreseeable end and by making difficult (conscious or unconscious) decisions about what to say and what not to say, women politicians develop a Kurdish feminine form of life that can be cited and reiterated.
Who Are We and How Must We Live?
Authors: Üstündağ Nazan
Published: May 2024

This chapter enters the life of the Kurdish women guerrillas through two questions they raise which are “who are we?” and “how should we live?” Following the different answers they give to this question based on fieldwork and writings of the guerrilla, the chapter traces how the woman guerrilla decolonizes being, truth, and freedom and how she enacts a humanness that occupies a revolutionary time and adopts friendship as a way of life. The chapter argues that whereas decolonization of truth for the Kurdish women guerrillas entails finding new laws for their desire and forming new norms for women to cite, decolonization of freedom is engaging in mobile quantum entanglements of incitement, overture, and responsibility. Decolonization of being on the other hand, involves transforming death and life into play in the sense of not owning it as a possession. Finally, the chapter also addresses the relationship between Kurdish people and the guerrillas and how the fact that the guerrilla occupies the limits between past and future and death and life makes it into a figure of the Real.

Songs of Innocence and Experience
Authors: Krohn Raymond James
Published: May 2024

This chapter focuses on Thomas Wentworth Higginson’s 1898 autobiography, Cheerful Yesterdays, and his 1899 collection of biographical essays, Contemporaries. Despite the advent of new regimes of racial discrimination and segregation throughout the ex-Confederacy, the veteran fugitive-slave rescuer and John Brown backer prioritized art and aesthetics. On the one hand, the autobiographer often treated his personal antislavery history in a storybook fashion. Consequently, abolitionism constituted not a preeminently moral and religious crusade, but a colorful backdrop for romantic tales of derring-do. On the other, the biographical essayist handled the lives and deeds of abolitionist agitators in the same manner as those of Transcendentalist literati. Regardless of their different fields of activity, Higginson scrutinized both from the perspective of a literary critic. As a belletrist and public intellectual, he neither attempted to rekindle the spirit of radical abolitionism nor repurpose its values for another phase of militant activism. Songs of antebellum innocence, then, did not conceal the retrogression that postbellum experience had produced. This chapter therefore assays how mature reflection undermined youthful idealism, so much so, that a former Union Army officer of freed-slave soldiers evolved into a devout sectional reconciliationist.

У статті наведено результати теоретичного дослідження, метою якого було проаналізувати основні засади розвитку вольових якостей учнівської молоді як цілісної системної індивідуально-психологічної характеристики, в процесі занять фізичною культурою та спортом. Наукова новизна полягає в теоретичному обґрутнтуванні вольових якостей учнів в процесі занять фізичною культурою та спортом, саме в процесі заняття з фізичної культури чітко визначаються цілі та зміст діяльності, засоби та методи, які впливають на розвиток цілеспрямованості, наполегливості, витримки, рішучості, сміливості, тобто формують звичку до прояву вольових зусиль молоді. Охарактеризовано поняття «воля» з точки зору філософів, психологів та педагогів. Сучасне визначення волі узгоджується з тим, що це свідома саморегуляція людиною своєї діяльності, що забезпечує подолання перешкод і труднощів на шляху до своєї мети. Зазначено, що в процесі фізичного виховання необхідною умовою для формування волі дитини є опанування технічними прийомами, підвищення рівня фізичної підготовленості. При цьому слід враховувати психолого-педагогічні способи стимулювання: похвалу, нагороди та інші прийоми, що збільшують інтерес учнів до занять і сприяють значному підвищенню впевненості у власних силах. Проаналізовано вольві зусилля в процесі занять фізкультурно-спортивною діяльністю та виділено п’ять їх видів: вольові зусилля при м’язових напруженнях; вольові зусилля при напруженні уваги; вольові зусилля при виконанні дій з подоланням втоми; вольові зусилля спрямовані на дотримання режиму; вольові зусилля спрямовані на переборення почуття страху.

Futures of conflict risk, migration and equity implications
Authors:   , de Bruin Sophie Pieternel
Published: May 2024

Integrated socioeconomic and environmental scenarios have matured over the past decades in terms of scientific methodology and policy relevance. Contrary to these advances, less progress has been made on scenarios of conflict, migration, and equity implications in the context of environmental and socioeconomic change. On the one hand, this is not surprising due to the complex, irregular and ethical dimensions involved which are hard to quantify. On the other hand, these societal dynamics can alter the effectiveness of sustainable development strategies, underlining the importance to better understand their possible future trajectories. The main objective of this thesis is to explore the possibilities to project futures of conflict, migration, and equity implications by using various methods (Machine Learning, literature-informed vulnerability overlays and expert elicitation), to advance the field of scenario studies.

Published: May 2024

To accurately grasp the current situation of rural teachers' vocational mobility intention and its influencing factors is the premise of stabilizing rural teaching teachers. The survey shows that the rural primary and secondary school teachers in Suizhou City of Hubei province and Feicheng City of Shandong province have a strong vocational mobility intention, reaching nearly 90% and 64.5% respectively, which indicates that the rural teaching staff is still unstable. Teachers of different regions, genders, ages, and school types also have different intentions on horizontal and vertical social mobility. The income problem is the deep reason that affects the turnover intention of rural teachers. With the development of rural education, people from all walks of life pay more attention to the problem of social mobility of rural teachers, but most of them tend to be in poor areas. From the perspective of push and pull theory, this paper expounds and analyzes the social mobility willingness and its influencing factors of rural teachers in economically developed areas, draws corresponding conclusions, and puts forward suggestions for rebuilding rural educational ecology.

Authors: Knio Mohamad Saad El Dine , Houmani Hassan
Published: May 2024

The relationship between stock market development and economic growth has been a subject of debate, with arguments centered on the impact of a well-functioning stock market on economic growth. This study argues that economic growth is influenced by stock market development and economic reform indicators, while controlling for other determinants of growth. The research employs a comprehensive theoretical framework linking stock market development to economic growth, and it specifically focuses on the Tadawul stock market in Saudi Arabia. The empirical analysis, using sophisticated panel data econometric techniques, reveals a significant positive correlation between Tadawul stock market and economic growth, particularly in the oil sector. This suggests that the Tadawul stock market plays a crucial role in influencing and contributing to economic growth, especially within the context of the oil industry.

Published: May 2024

У статті досліджено проактивний підхід до розвитку малого бізнесу у сучасних умовах. Доведено, що проактивний підхід до розвитку цього сектору не лише сприятиме створенню нових можливостей для підприємців, але й відкриватиме перспективи для економічного відновлення, інноваційного розвитку та підвищення конкурентоспроможності національної економіки. Досліджено зміни в політичній та соціальній сферах, а також економічну нестабільність, що відобразилися фінансовій стійкості та економічному стані малого бізнесу. Проаналізовано динаміку зміни кількості підприємств в Україні з 2010 по 2022 роки, що демонструє значні коливання, особливо в категоріях середніх та малих підприємств. Здійснено аналіз за Індексом активності бізнесу (Ukrainian Business Index), відповідно до якого у січні 2024 року прослідковувалось незначне підвищення порівняно з попереднім періодом (UBI становить 37,3 зі 100 можливих). Виокремлено проблеми, що негативно впливають на розвиток малого бізнесу в Україні у сучасних умовах, серед яких: безпекові аспекти (повномасштабне вторгнення створило середовище небезпеки, що ускладнює роботу малого бізнесу);  регуляторні проблеми (повномасштабне вторгнення призвело до змін у законодавстві та державній політиці, що суттєво вплинуло на бізнес); економічна нестабільність (економічна нестабільність, що виникла внаслідок повномасштабного вторгнення негативно позначається на діяльності малих підприємств, зокрема це зниження довіри споживачів, зменшення їхньої купівельної спроможності та загальне зниження економічної активності); конкуренція від великих підприємств (війна ускладнює вхід нових малих і середніх підприємств на ринок, створюючи значні перешкоди для їхнього конкурентного розвитку). Окреслено грантові можливості як один зі способів отримання додаткових ресурсів та підтримки малого бізнесу. Доведено, що проактивний підхід до розвитку малого бізнесу в Україні є важливою стратегічною ініціативою в умовах поствоєнного періоду та економічних труднощів, які виникають внаслідок повномасштабного вторгнення. Стверджується, що одним із ключових аспектів проактивного підходу є створення умов для стабільності та розвитку малого бізнесу, що включає в себе сприяння створенню нових підприємств, підтримку існуючих у складних умовах, а також розвиток інфраструктури та послуг, що сприяють підприємництву.
EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF CEMENT BY RHA IN CONCRETE
Authors:   Christ the King Engineering College. Coimbatore.
Published: May 2024

This paper summarizes the research work on the properties of Rice Husk Ash (RHA) when used as partial replacement for Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) in concrete. OPC was replaced with RHA by weight at 0%, 10%, 20% and 30%. 0% replacement served as the control. Compacting factor test was carried out on fresh concrete while Compressive Strength test was carried out on hardened 150mm concrete cubes after 7, 14 and 28 days curing in water. The results revealed that the Compacting factor decreased as the percentage replacement of OPC with RHA increased. The compressive strength of the hardened concrete also decreased with increasing OPC replacement with RHA. It is recommended that further studies be carried out to gather more facts about the suitability of partial replacement of OPC with RHA in concrete. Keywords: Concrete, Rice Husk Ash, Compacting factor, Compressive strength

Multi-culture Sign Language Detection and Recognition Using Fine-tuned Convolutional Neural Network
Authors:   Guru Nanak Institute of Technology, CSE Department, Hyderabad
Published: May 2024

The speech and hearing-impaired community use sign language as the primary means of communication. It is quite challenging for the general population to interpret or learn sign language completely. A sign language recognition system must be designed and developed to address this communication barrier. Most current sign language recognition systems rely on wearable sensors, keeping the recognition system unaffordable for most individuals. Moreover, the existing vision-based sign recognition frameworks do not consider all of the spatial and temporal information required for accurate recognition. A novel vision-based hybrid deep neural net methodology is proposed in this project for recognizing American Sign Language (ASL) and custom sign gestures. The proposed framework aims to establish a single framework for tracking and extracting multi-semantic properties, such as non-manual components and manual co-articulations. Furthermore, spatial feature extraction from the sign gestures is deployed using a Hybrid Deep Neural Network (HDNN) with atrous convolutions. The temporal and sequential feature extraction is carried out by employing attention-based HDNN. In addition, the distinguished abstract feature extraction is done using modified autoencoders. The discriminative feature extraction for differentiating the sign gestures from unwanted transition gestures is done by leveraging the hybrid attention module. The experimentation of the proposed model has been carried out on the novel multi-signer ASL and custom sign language dataset. The proposed sign language recognition framework with hybrid neural nets, specifically using HDNN, yields better results than other state-of-the-art frameworks. Additionally, a detection module is incorporated using Flask web, allowing manual input of images/signs for real-time recognition.

Explaining the Dynamics of Transition to an Integrated WEF System: Two Cases of Irrigated Agriculture in Oregon, USA
Authors: Fernandez-Guajardo Patricia , Weber Edward P.
Published: May 2024

In recent years, the integrated Water-Energy-Food (WEF) Nexus approach has gained traction as a more effective way to manage these interdependent and essential resources. A growing number of traditional food and water irrigation systems in Oregon, USA are transitioning to modernized, holistic, and sustainable Hydro-Irrigation-Restoration Systems that embrace the WEF Nexus approach (Weber 2017). The question is: what factors explain the successful transition? Two cases of irrigation modernization in Hood River, Oregon demonstrate that system transitions follow a pattern of socio-technical change wherein four structural factors are key: economic incentives, changing values expressed in regulations, technological innovation, and external shocks (e.g., major disasters). Yet, while the structural variables associated with the social-technical change approach are necessary for explaining the transitions to new WEF systems in Hood River, they are not sufficient. The case studies display the crucial importance of individual agency, or the actor dynamics capable of enabling or hindering system transformations (see Van Driel and Schot 2005, 54). Chief among these “agency” factors are (1) facilitative, visionary, trust-worthy leadership, (2) the cultivation of trust and collaborative problem-solving capacity, (3) the willingness to embrace risk and trade short-term costs for the potential of long term gains (e.g., low discount rates), and (4) the adoption of a new set of ideas, or shared norms, governing decision-making which embraced the idea that an integrated, modernized system could simultaneously promote economic, environmental, and energy sustainability.

This qualitative study was an emergent phenomenological study based in the tradition of portraiture, which shares many of its features with ethnography, case study, and narrative inquiry. The purpose of this study was to identify the most engaging cooperative learning methodologies for students to actively participate in home-school learning with parents during scientific inquiry investigations and supportive strategies for teachers to employ for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM) education. The conditions identified motivated students and their parents to take ownership of the learning in which they became self-managed, self-responsible, and self-directed. Data indicated the increased success of students were the result of students participating in teacher-designed experiential, constructivist learning activities that utilized a facet of involvement strategies and provided students with authentic and socially constructive learning. Providing a guided inquiry-based learning environment also promoted student achievement and empowered students to assess their learning for developing self-responsibility, acquiring self-management skills, and raising student efficacy. As a result, students were empowered to develop scientific inquiry and literacy skills and were enabled to take control of the learning through cooperative learning that included interactive homework, collaborative inquiry-based activities, metacognitive questioning, self-assessments, and dialogue journaling.
Optimising Educational Outcomes: Data and Process Analysis Approaches with Attention to Self-Directed Learning
Authors: Sarró-Oláh Bernadett , Fodor Szabina
Published: May 2024

The swift advancements in technology and the corresponding job market impose increasingly challenging and dynamic requirements on workers. This is a significant obstacle for higher education institutions in adequately preparing their students for contemporary expectations and equipping them to tackle future difficulties. Today's students are "digital natives", and they distinctly absorb knowledge and employ new strategies to learn compared to earlier generations. Hence, it is of utmost significance for higher education institutions to comprehend the student learning process. Learning management systems (LMS) can offer substantial assistance in this endeavor, as they facilitate comprehension of students' learning process, while log files also offer unbiased insights into individual adaptation. This study aims to investigate the learning mechanisms of Business Informatics students at Corvinus University of Budapest by analyzing Moodle's educational data. The objective of the study was to acquire a more comprehensive understanding of the learning patterns exhibited by students in higher education through the utilization of an extensive collection of log files. The central idea revolved around examining the behavioral, motivational, and interest-related dimensions of learning as indicators of self-directed learning. These were examined using two primary methodologies: data analysis and process analysis. The findings indicate that distinct learning patterns exist regarding data and learning processes. Additionally, there are variations in time management and information consumption habits. The results of this study have practical implications for identifying learning patterns and developing tailored interventions to enhance educational achievements.
A Qualitative Study on Digital Citizenship Education in Primary Schools
Authors: Opria Stefana , Momanu Mariana
Published: May 2024

In recent years, the number of studies related to digital citizenship has increased amidst the intense use of digital media. The literature, rich in theoretical and empirical examples related to this topic, provides a clear picture of contemporary society. There is little empirical research on digital citizenship education in the early school years. Thus, through this investigation, we aimed to collect qualitative data on the development of specific digital competencies and digital citizenship in primary school students. Therefore, the authors considered it appropriate to use the observation method in its participatory version. Over a year, a group of 29 pupils, aged between 6 and 7, formed the sample to identify how they would develop digital competencies and digital citizenship in the context of formal and non-formal learning experiences. To collect the necessary information, we used the observation protocol, conducted in the form of open-ended questions described by Gay, Mills & Airasian (2006). The results of the study showed that parental educational attainment, family structure, time spent online, and the type of device have an important impact on the development of digital competencies and digital citizenship in young learners.
