Autocratic parenting of a humanoid robot: A QEEG-based case study
Authors: Ghalebin Seyyedeh Sahar Asgari , Atadokht Akbar , Mousavi Seyyedeh Mahsa
Published: March 2024

There are four parenting styles based on two indicators of parental affection (parental responsiveness) and parental control (parental strictness). When there is no balance between the love and strictness of the parents, the child sees various damages in different psychological, biological, and social dimensions. These injuries can be continuous and overshadow his whole life. This article is a comprehensive review of the life of a 21-year-old girl with an authoritarian parenting style, i.e., low affection and high strictness. The mother has grown up and this way of interacting with her continues from the mother’s side. Various results have shown that this girl, like her peers, has lost the ability to manage her life and basic human functions such as judgment, decision-making, planning, proper interpersonal communication, continuing education, and recognizing her interests and identity. It has become a robot that only obeys its mother and substitutes for the source of power to gain their satisfaction.
Hubungan Work Engagement dengan Burnout terhadap Produktivitas Kerja Karyawan di Perusahaan
Authors: Aulianti Arifani Zakiah
Published: March 2024

Work Engagement didefinisikan sebagai keadaan motivasi positif dari kekuatan, dedikasi, dan penyerapan, sedangkan burnout mengacu pada keadaan kelelahan dan apatis terhadap bekerja. Dalam artikel ini, kita akan membahas kedua konsep yang digunakan dalam literatur dan definisi utamanya. Penelitian ini dilakukan melalui pendekatan kuantitatif yang melibatkan uji hipotesis. Selain itu, kami memeriksa prediktor individu dan situasional untuk memeriksa aspek burnout dan keterlibatan kerja yang paling penting. Selain itu, kami meninjau dampak kelelahan dan keterlibatan, dan kami mengintegrasikan hasil penelitian dengan teori tuntutan pekerjaan—sumber daya. Meskipun keterlibatan kerja dan kelelahan terkait dengan hasil penting terkait pekerjaan, kelelahan tampaknya lebih kuat terkait dengan hasil kesehatan, dan keterlibatan kerja tampaknya lebih kuat terkait dengan hasil motivasi. Kami berbicara setiap hari, dan ada perubahan kecil dalam keterlibatan dan kelelahan.

Authors: Nugroho Wahyu Aji , Kusumo Rudy Mikiyanto
Published: March 2024

In carrying out its duties and functions, the KPP Pratama Cilacap Account Representative is prone to experiencing job stress. This research aims to find out whether the application of flexible working hours affects the job stress experienced by KPP Pratama Cilacap Account Representatives. This study uses two variables, namely flexible working hours as the independent variable and job stress as the dependent variable. In this study, the hypothesis proposed is that the application of flexible working hours has an effect on job stress at KPP Pratama Cilacap Account Representatives. Data collection was carried out by distributing closed questionnaires directly to the respondents and conduct interviews with respondents randomly. The population of this study were all KPP Pratama Cilacap Account Representatives, totaling 31 people. Questionnaire data processing was carried out using IBM SPSS Statistics 25 software with a simple linear regression analysis method. The analysis of this study shows that the job stress of the KPP Pratama Cilacap Account Representative is not affected by the application of flexible working hours.

The objective of this work is to valorize abundant illitic clay from Morocco in the treatment of industrial effluents likely to be loaded with synthetic dyes such as the textile, stationery, cosmetic, food, and also pharmaceutical industries. The penitential adsorbing of two dyes: methylene blue (BM) and malachite green (GM) was studied on this clay. Firstly, this clay was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and X-ray fluorescence analysis. And on the other hand, Effect of different parameters on adsorption kinetics has been studied, such as contact time, initial dye concentration, pH, salinity and temperature. Adsorption tests results showed that equilibrium was established after 30 min and the adsorption of the two dyes depends on the initial dye concentration and the pH. The results showed was the adsorption of the two dyes can be described by pseudo-second-order kinetics. The results indicate also that the process is a spontaneous endothermic physisorption characterized by disorder of the environment. This study shows that this raw, abundant and low-cost natural illitic clay can be valorized and exploited to treat effluents loaded with synthetic dyes.
Modelo de hábitat y distribución de la alondra (Eremophila alpestris peregrina) en el Altiplano Cundiboyacense, Colombia
Authors: Valencia Iván Darío , Armenteras Dolors
Published: March 2024

La alondra cornuda Eremophila alpestris peregrina es una subespecie endémica y amenazada de las zonas secas del Altiplano Cundiboyacense. Basado en información de campo y literatura se elaboró un modelo con sistemas de información geográfica incorporando información de sensores remotos, con el fin de predecir lugares de hábitat potencial para la especie según el concepto de nicho. El modelo predijo el hábitat esperado con precisión estimada del 64% y permitió hallar 34 localidades adicionales para la alondra. Allí se caracterizó el hábitat e identificaron los factores principales de riesgo de extinción. Finalmente se formularon recomendaciones para la conservación de la especie.
Segregación en el tamaño de caracoles depredados por el gavilán caracolero Rostrhamus sociabilis y el carrao Aramus guarauna en el suroccidente de Colombia
Authors: Estela Felipe A. , Naranjo Luis Germán
Published: March 2024

El gavilán caracolero (Rostrhamus sociabilis) y el carrao (Aramus guarauna) se alimentan casi exclusivamente de caracoles de agua dulce del género Pomacea. Para evaluar una posible competencia por recurso alimenticio entre poblaciones de estas dos especies, medimos los caracoles consumidos por ellas y los comparamos con los caracoles vivos disponibles en el hábitat de forrajeo de cada una. El gavilán caracolero se alimenta de caracoles que flotan en el espejo de agua y el carrao de caracoles que viven dentro de la vegetación acuática flotante (dominada en el área de estudio por Eichornia crassipes). Los caracoles encontrados en el buchón fueron más grandes que los del espejo de agua y encontramos la misma relación de tamaño en los caracoles depredados por el carrao con respecto a las presas del gavilán caracolero. No encontramos evidencia de selección de los caracoles depredados por cada especie respecto a las presas disponibles en su hábitat de alimentación. Las evidencias indican que cada ave se alimenta con los caracoles más frecuentes en su hábitat, lo cual descarta la competencia interespecífica por el tamaño de presa. Los caracoles constituyen un recurso muy abundante que ha permitido que sus depredadores hayan aumentado sus poblaciones notoriamente en los últimos 40 años en el valle geográfico del río Cauca.
Effects of Interventions for Menstrual Health and Hygiene Management for Adolescent Girls: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Authors: Hamada Hitomi , Ninohei Mika , Yamaji Noyuri , Ota Erika
Published: March 2024

Menstruation relates to women’s well-being, and menstrual health and hygiene are important. However, the effects of menstrual health and hygiene interventions remain unclear. This systematic review assessed the effects of menstrual health and hygiene interventions on adolescent girls and young women. Structured systematic searches were conducted using five databases from 5 August to 30 September 2022 with no restriction. We included individual-, cluster- and quasi-randomized controlled trials that assessedthe effects of menstrual health and hygiene interventions on the quality of life and social outcomes. Two researchers independently completed the screening process and assessed the risk of bias using the second version of the Cochrane risk of bias tool for randomized trials.Ten studies were described in 12 reports, and three ongoing studies were included. Five studies evaluated education interventions, one evaluated the distribution of menstrual products, and four assessed both. No study reported the quality of life. A small but non-significant positive impact on school attendance was found from the meta-analysis of four studies evaluating the distribution of sanitary products compared with no intervention (SMD = 0.23, 95%CI [-0.03, 0.48]). Although this study’s result should be used cautiously, menstrual health and hygiene interventions offer positive outcomes. Quality of life should be assessed as well. Morecomprehensive and innovative interventions and a rigorous research design are required, and nurses have an important role in education, practice and further research on this topic.

Published: March 2024

This assistance was carried out in Sumuragung Bojonegoro District, part of the community who work as farmers and tofu production, in 2019 there were around 50 home industry units. Most manufacturers produce separately. Tofu craftsmen in the Sumuragung area pay little attention to the disposal of their processed waste because the production method is simple. Tofu production waste includes solid waste and liquid waste. Solid waste or what is usually called okara is often used as animal feed, while liquid waste resulting from the tofu making process is directly thrown into the drain without being processed first. Processed liquid waste has the potential to pollute the environment because it still contains protein and carbohydrate compounds which can ferment and cause an unpleasant odor. The result of this assistance is making POC from tofu waste so that people are more productive

GEOGRAFIA DE LUGAR NENHUM
Authors: Paranhos Batista Danilo
Published: March 2024

O presente trabalho foi realizado com apoio da Fundação Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul – UFMS/MEC – Brasil. A globalização produz alterações inevitáveis na lógica dos espaços, nas paisagens e na organização social dos indivíduos. Nas últimas décadas, as mudanças nos espaços ocupados pelos seres humanos se intensificaram, atingindo as mais distantes áreas do planeta, produzindo um fenômeno chamado de Geografia de lugar nenhum ou hiperglobalização, apresentada pelo geógrafo George Benko (1998), onde esses lugares, baseado na lógica capitalista globalizante, se apresentam na produção socioespacial seguindo padrões técnicos, arquitetônicos e organizacionais semelhantes em qualquer parte do planeta, impondo a padronização de valores e hábitos as mais variadas identidades e culturas. A abordagem deste estudo terá natureza qualitativa, tendo como procedimentos de levantamento de dados à pesquisa documental por meio de artigos, narrativas, produções em geral da rede de internet, produzindo uma análise e associação de conteúdo, tendo o objetivo investigar os aspectos e características da produção do espaço urbano de Três Lagoas. A Geografia de lugar nenhum em Três Lagoas revela os impactos da hiperglobalização, produzindo espaços padronizados, resultando na perda de identidade local. É fundamental repensar a relação entre globalização e preservação cultural, visando promover um desenvolvimento sustentável, preservando a essência dos lugares que configuram o espaço urbano três-lagoense.

Authors: Taheri Behzad , Barati Amirhosein , Norasteh Ali Asghar , Madadi-Shad Morteza
Published: March 2024

Objectives: Squat is known as a common and functional exercise for strengthening the lower limb muscles. However, researchers put it in the category of exercises with high risk of injury. So, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of three different techniques of squat on electromyographic response of trunk and lower limb muscles in athletes and non-athletes. Methods: Twenty subjects including 10 amateurs and 10 professional athletes ranging from 22 to 27 years old participated in the study. Three different techniques of squat were analyzed using electromyography (EMG) assessment. EMG was recorded from vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, semitendinosus, biceps femoris, adductor longus, transversus abdominis and multifidus muscles during squatting. Independent-Samples t-test and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) were used to analysis the data. Results: The finding indicated that there was no significant difference between the two groups in all of the muscles activities (P ≤ 0.05). During lunge squat, the semitendinosus had more muscle activity in comparison with two other techniques (P = 0.023). However, the transversus abdominis and multifidus muscles revealed a less significant muscle activity during lunge squat (P = 0.001). Conclusions: Given the results of this study indicating that lunge squat is more suitable for strengthening the semitendinosus muscle and the parallel and plie squat technique seem to be better suited to strengthen the transversus abdominis and multifidus muscles, it can be argued that these movements can be used to strengthen the hamstring and spinal muscles respectively.

Published: March 2024

Objectives: Increasing prevalence rate of anxiety disorders in elderly populations especially due to physical limitations has become a key concern for health authorities. Therefore, the objective of the study was to investigate the effects of cognitive and physical training on anxiety in the Elderly. Methods: 49 aged females (62.3 ± 2.6 years) with BMI of 35 - 49.99 kg/m2 were assigned to one of three groups: Cognitive (n = 17), yoga (n = 16) and control group (n = 16). The cognitive training protocol focusing on breathing techniques, autogenic training, imagery/visualization, included an 8-week period, three sessions a week. Yoga practices comprising Asana training, Pranaya training, and meditation were conducted 3 times a week, for 8 weeks. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was given before yoga practice and cognitive training. Biofeedback devices were used to monitor galvanic skin resistance and resting heart rate. The data were analyzed using independent t-test and one-way ANOVA test. Results: The results indicated that both cognitive and physical training had a significant difference on Anxiety in the training groups (P ≤ 0.05), while no significant change was found for control group (P ≥ 0.05). Furthermore, both training modes decreased the skin potential response (SPR) (P < 0.001). In addition, physical training group had lower resting heart rate after intervention compared to the cognitive and control groups (respectively, P = 0.04 and P = 0.001) lower heart rate and skin conductance level over the entire measurement period. Conclusions: It was concluded that the health benefits of yoga aren’t not specific to maintaining physical health, but also extends to lowering the anxiety in elderly with obesity. It was also suggested that cognitive training can mitigate the anxiety symptoms in the elderly while no physical changes were shown in cognitive training.

Authors: Trabelsi Khaled , Moalla Wassim , Boukhris Omar , Ammar Achraf , Elabed Kais , Hakim Ahmed , Chtourou Hamdi
Published: March 2024

Based on Moon observation, every year, adults healthy Muslims practiced Ramadan intermittent fasting (RIF) for 29 or 30 consecutive days. During RIF Muslims are allowed to food and fluid intake only during night (from sunset to sunrise). Thus, behavioral changes are observed during RIF (e.g., food and sleep habits). Despite these changes, many healthy Muslims maintain their normal habitual physical exercise practice during RIF. However, changes in blood lipids, metabolic markers, electrolytes and hematological parameters during RIF in practitioners of physical activity are yet poorly studied. Therefore, the present review article will summarize the health specific effects of RIF in subjects engaged in physical training during Ramadan.
The Consequences of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the Norwegian/Swedish National Border
Authors: Gustavsson Anders
Published: March 2024

This study investigates how the Covid-19 pandemic affected the daily lives of individuals on both sides of the southern part of the Swedish-Norwegian border. Prior to the outbreak of the pandemic in 2020, passing the border without any major regulations from the authorities was the norm. The studied border area is unique, partly through extensive Norwegian border trade to Sweden and partly through significant tourism from Norway. Commuting, on the other hand, has primarily gone in the opposite direction from Sweden to Norway. Norway closed the border for entry on 17 March 2020. The short time intervals of the Norwegian restrictions 2020–2022 created uncertainty and anxiety among the border people. When Norwegian border trade and tourism ceased, it had tangible negative consequences for the economy and jobs on the Swedish side. Social contacts across the border suffered. There was negative rumour-spreading between Norwegians and Swedes. All Norwegian restrictions were lifted on 12 February 2022. The main source for this investigation are reports from local newspapers near the border. They have published reports with interviews and photos featuring opinions from individuals. This study can form the basis for further discussions on approaches and preparations to better cope with future crisis situations.
Herrarne och damerna. Variationen i den plurala definita substantivböjningen i Sverige och i Finland på 1800-talet
Authors: Piipponen Daniela
Published: March 2024

In the 19th century, definiteness in the plural could be marked with two different articles, -na and -ne, but the norms regulating the variation were not universally agreed upon. In this study, I investigate how 19th-century Swedish grammars approach the variation in suffixes and how the prescriptive norms match the language used in Swedish-language newspapers from the same era, with special attention given to the differences between the varieties of Swedish spoken in Sweden and Finland. For this purpose, two historical newspaper corpora were consulted, comprised of newspapers published during the 19th century in Sweden and Finland, respectively. The findings show that from the middle of the 19th century, the grammars are generally split into two practices, with one attributing the use of the articles to the  declension of the noun, while the other, mainly associated with the historical-comparative school, attributing it to the grammatical gender of the noun. In addition, grammars written in Finland stress the semantic gender of animate nouns. This difference is also reflected in the corpora: while both varieties are influenced by both the gender and the declension, the declension is the most important factor in the Swedish corpora, whereas semantic gender is the main factor in the Finnish corpora.

Published: March 2024

The natural background gamma radiation levels were measured in dwellings of urban Hassan city & its surrounding Taluks, Karnataka state, using environmental radiation Dosimeter ER-709. The recorded gamma dose rate in indoor atmosphere was found to vary from 87 nGy.h-1to 487 nGy.h-1 with a mean value of 288.6±102 nGy.h-1. In outdoor atmosphere it was found to vary from 78.3 nGy.h-1to 461nGy.h-1 with an average value of 260.4±88 nGy.h-1. It was observed that the dose rates are higher in Channarayapatna Taluk and in Hassan City and lower in the place of Halebeedu and Belur. The absorbed dose at different mines and granite factories were found to vary from 304.5 nGy.h-1to 583 nGy.h-1with an average value of 434.6 nGy.h-1. The Annual effective dose due to natural background gamma radiation exposure in the Hassan city and its surrounding Taluks is calculated and found to be 0.67 mSv.y-1 & 2.90 mSv.y-1with mean value of 1.735±0.56 mSv.y-1. This is higher than the global average

Civil society in the context of the EU accession: the case of Montenegro
Authors: Reianu Diana-Gabriella
Published: March 2024

This study aims to provide evidence on the role of the civil society in the EU integration of the Western Balkans and the involvement of the civil society in the policy-making process, with a case study on Montenegro. We have chosen Montenegro as a case study even though Montenegro is a small state, being a state at the intersection of ma­jor geopolitical clashes. The research was conducted by correspondence in March-May 2023, the questions being addressed online to different non-governmental organiza­tions in Montenegro, with the aim of learning about the role and involvement of civic society, the relationship between NGOs and state institutions, and cooperation among civil society organizations. The analysis shows a weak relationship between civil society organizations and state institutions and a low involvement in policy-making process, usually conducted pro forma, and high-level of dissatisfaction among NGOs concerning the work of the government. The lessons learned by the civil society sector are that it can only rely on international aid, and the sustainability of this sector in the future could only be achieved by relying more heavily on foreign project calls.
High school students’ confidence on teaching styles of physical education specialist and nonspecialist preferred by
Authors: Filoteo Jhenna
Published: March 2024

MAPEH is one of the most difficult topics for a secondary school teacher to teach. In addition to having the four elements listed—Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health—it actually concentrates on the child's whole growth. In addition to identifying potential athletes, dancers, actors, actresses, physicians, and nurses, educators also need to identify potential singers and musicians. The descriptive quantitative design was used in this investigation. Its primary goal is to ascertain the pedagogical approaches of both non-specialist and specialized physical education instructors. The PE Teachers Specialists and Non-Specialist Teaching Styles Survey were used in this study. Although the basic purpose of tabulating the degree of preferences has been accomplished, students have diverse preferences. As the learning is based from them, the understanding and comprehending to the new lessons are much easier. Groups of students from senior high and junior high show different responses as to which what they want for the classroom setups. Types of sections regardless of the teaching styles, found widely varying preferences as these sectioning follow system from the administration. Nevertheless, above the different preference present beforehand, this study ensures new knowledge and ideas for the improvement of teaching styles available for Physical Education.
Analisis Problematika Pembentukan Lingkungan Bahasa Arab

Cut is the Branch: Faustus's C-Text
Authors: Pinkerton Jonathan
Published: March 2024

This article, which will include some summary and explanation of textual differences between the 1631 and 1663 editions of Doctor Faustus, is primarily concerned with the paratextual differences between the editions, which help inform the play’s resurgence into print, as well as with the financial incentives behind its publication. The 1663 Restoration-era 'C-text,' which was conceived by a theatrical producer for stage production and procured by a stationer for publication, was a politico-religiously neutered version of the text which attempted to better connect with its audience by use of similarly revised paratextual materials; however, these para/textual revisions were not enough to return the play to success, either financially or socially, as the C-text was the last of the seventeenth century Faustus editions, and it has since been largely overlooked in being distinct from the B-text.
Unreliable Allies in an Uncertain World: Warnings from History in Marlowe’s The Massacre at Paris
Authors: Hill Joanne
Published: March 2024

The Massacre at Paris. Marlowe brought the horrors of the St Bartholomew’s Day Massacre onto the London stage in 1593 at a time when England was facing a threat of invasion from the expansionist powers of Europe. The Massacre at Paris demonstrates vividly what was at stake if such an invasion were to be successful: Protestantism in England would face an existential crisis, just as it had done in France in 1572. While previous critics have focused on Guise’s representation in the play, this article examines the character of Navarre because in the early 1590s Henri IV was key to England’s defence, but he was a controversial figure who divided the international Protestant alliance. As a result, many of its members refused to provide the French King with the military and financial support he required to fight the Catholic League. To reflect his divisive nature, Marlowe portrays Navarre in an ambiguous light in The Massacre at Paris and thus raises questions about whether the historical Henri IV and the Huguenot nobility had the qualities necessary to defend England and the future of Protestantism. This article will investigate how Marlowe exploited contemporary anxieties about the Huguenot leadership by highlighting their failings during the St Bartholomew’s Day Massacre. By raising the spectre of the Massacre, Marlowe forced his audience to confront the terrifying question of whether England’s principal ally would be strong and trustworthy enough to keep the extremist Catholics from the English coast, or whether he would leave them to be slaughtered like the Huguenots in Paris.
Orígens i definició de la metàfora lul·liana de l’«amic» i l’«amat»
Authors: Vives Piñas Arnau
Published: March 2024

La metàfora de l’amic i l’amat de Ramon Llull té els seus orígens en els darrers capítols del Llibre de contemplació en Déu (1273-1274), el seu primer gran projecte librari. Les ocurrències que hi registrem prefiguren les principals característiques temàtiques i artístiques (les referides a l’Art lul·liana) d’un tema literari que recorrerà tota la producció escrita de Llull, especialment el Romanç d’Evast e Blaquerna i el Llibre d’amic e amat (1276-1283), l’Art amativa (1290) i l’Arbre de filosofia d’amor (1298). Aquest article proposa una lectura interpretativa d’aquestes primeres ocurrències, juntament amb altres al·lusions en obres anteriors al Blaquerna, que constitueixen la primera fase de l’evolució d’aquest motiu lul·lià en un recorregut que abraça més de trenta anys d’escriptura.
Els premis literaris en català a obra publicada (2000-2020): deliberacions i cànon
Authors: Escandell Dari
Published: March 2024

Aquest article analitza els premis literaris a obra publicada en llengua catalana, un terreny acadèmicament poc explorat encara ara, i pondera la incidència real d’aquests guardons en la conformació d’un presumpte cànon referit a la modalitat de prosa narrativa original en aquest idioma. L’estudi para atenció als set premis actuals que condecoren llibres ja comercialitzats: el Llibreter, el Crexells, el Serra d’Or, el de la Crítica Catalana, el d’Òmnium, el Ciutat de Barcelona i el Lletra d’Or. En concret, descriu les particularitats i peculiaritats de cada guardó i circumscriu el camp d’anàlisi als títols de narrativa adulta distingits al llarg de les dues primeres dècades del segle XXI. Els valors mostrals considerats s’examinen premi a premi i de forma conjunta. Entre els factors avaluats hi ha el model de jurat o el gènere i l’origen geogràfic dels escriptors condecorats, així com el grau de canonicitat conseqüència de l’acumulació de distincions pel que fa a obres, autors i editorials.
Connexions bascocatalanes: les impersonals de subjecte suprimit
Authors: Fernández Beatriz , Berro Ane , Pérez Saldanya Manuel
Published: March 2024

En aquest article analitzarem les impersonals de subjecte suprimit (ang. subject-suppressing impersonals; Blevins 2003), és a dir, les construccions amb un subjecte implícit i indefinit. Aques- tes construccions han rebut el nom de impersonals en basc (Rodet 1992; Ortiz de Urbina 2003; Fernández & Berro 2021) i s’han designat oracions pronominals de subjecte inespecífic en català (Bartra 2002). En totes dues llengües, aquestes construccions impersonals han estat considerades intransitives, ja que, en comptes de dos arguments, només se n’explicita un (o cap). Com a exponent de la intransitivitat d’aquestes construccions, en basc es fa servir l’auxiliar intransitiu izan ‘ser’ en comptes del transitiu *edun ‘haver’. En català, per la seva banda, aquestes construccions presenten el clític pronominal es. En aquest article tractarem de mostrar que, en aquestes construccions, el subjecte suprimit és sintàcticament actiu en totes dues llengües i que, per tant, les construccions poden ser considerades tipològicament com a impersonals de subjecte suprimit (Blevins 2003).
«Perdido» como modificador de grado: subjetivación y cuantificación
Authors: Cifuentes Honrubia José Luis
Published: March 2024

En este trabajo analizamos la construcción adjetivo + perdido, en la que perdido tiene un valor intensificador. Estas construcciones han sido analizadas como estructuras semilexicalizadas con una función equivalente a los adverbios de grado. Nuestro estudio parte de todos los ejemplos documentados en el corpus CDH de la citada construcción, y analizamos el funcionamiento de perdido en estos casos. De igual forma, realizamos un estudio histórico de la construcción para establecer cómo puede llegar a funcionar modificando a un adjetivo. Las conclusiones son que perdido como modificador de grado tiene una gran posibilidad de combinación con adjetivos diferentes, pero todos ellos deben de tener una valoración desestimativa o peyorativa. El cambio de perdido hasta significar intensificación o modificación del grado supone subjetivación, de forma que se pierden los contenidos léxicos de perdido y se destaca la graduabilidad del adjetivo con el que se combina hasta llegar a hacerse prominente o extrema. Ese énfasis es posible por el propio énfasis de la construcción, y por la relación de valor extremo entre el adjetivo y perdido.
Voces relacionadas con Filipinas en el «DRAE» 1884
Authors: Clavería Nadal Gloria
Published: March 2024

La duodécima edición del Diccionario de la lengua castellana de la Real Academia Española (DRAE 1884) es una edición muy significativa en la historia de la lexicografía del español. Aparte de los cambios metalexicográficos, aumenta la nomenclatura del diccionario con respecto a las ediciones anteriores incluyendo un pequeño grupo de palabras representativas de la lengua y la vida de las islas Filipinas. En este estudio se lleva a cabo un análisis de estas voces y su tratamiento lexicográfico para dilucidar las circunstancias lingüísticas e históricas en las que se produjo su aceptación en el diccionario normativo del español.

A religious past to science: How Biblical stories have contributed to the construction of scientific knowledge
Authors: Gamito-Marques Daniel
Published: March 2024

Stories captivate us by speaking to our imagination and by giving order and meaning to our world. Stories not only give us knowledge about society, but they can also shape our understanding of nature. In the Western world, Christianity has provided narratives that were used as references in scientific research for centuries. In this article I discuss two such examples, the Creation story and the story of Noah and the Great Flood, and explain their prevalence in scientific endeavors conducted in the West. These stories were only replaced by alternative ones when new scientific theories and concepts were given sufficient coherence to explain new discoveries.
Ciencia en vertical: Nuevas narrativas en vídeo y redes sociales
Authors: Muñoz-Pico Hilda Paola
Published: March 2024

La ciencia en las redes sociales ha tomado muchas formas con el paso de los años, desde monólogos y animaciones hasta experimentos en vivo. Las nuevas narrativas se caracterizan por considerar los dispositivos de uso cotidiano (generalmente portátiles, como los teléfonos móviles, laptops y tabletas) y las posibilidades del entorno digital (filtros, stickers, gifs, animaciones, etc.). Ahora, el diseño estandarizado de los teléfonos celulares, en su mayoría con pantalla grande y táctil, ha impulsado los formatos verticales. La verticalidad ha permitido cambiar los contenidos desde una perspectiva estética, pero también narrativa. Es por esa razón que este artículo ofrece una revisión de los principales cambios en la forma de acercar el hecho científico a las audiencias.
Introduction: Moments of science. Photography and the understanding of nature
Authors: García-Roa Roberto
Published: March 2024

The search for certainty in a world that is often so binary – where choosing between two options seems to be the better (and simpler) alternative – gives meaning to the expression «a picture is worth a thousand words». But if we are running away from simplicity, why choose between the two?
Since the advent of photography, the scientific community has had a tool with which to provide objective knowledge that had previously been recorded and shared through words (both oral and written) and illustrations. It thus became a key tool for constantly pushing back the frontiers of our understanding of nature. Despite its success and potential, photography continues to be overlooked by some in the scientific community.
This monograph navigates through the history of photography and science. It shows how great historical figures such as Charles Darwin saw photography as a powerful ally. It also highlights some of the ways in which photography is used in contemporary scientific activity. It is quite striking to consider how transversal and necessary the contribution of photography has been – and will continue to be – to the advancement of science.
Women and Science. The keys to equality
Authors: Barona Josep Lluís
Published: March 2024

The traditional exclusion of women from the public sphere, from education, politics, art and culture, as well as women’s confinement to the domestic realm, have –little by little– undergone steady change since the Enlightenment, with the liberalisation of society and women’s progressive admittance to public life. From a feminine world revolving around motherhood, women have taken over new spheres, conquering rights and social roles bestowed regardless of gender, namely universal civil rights, suffrage, education and non-discrimination.
The science of the press. Trends and challenges for popular science journalism
Authors: Domínguez Martí , Mateu Anna
Published: March 2024

Communicating science effectively and rigorously is still one of the many challenges facing scientists and researchers today. Indeed, in the current context it is more important than ever to involve society in the work undertaken at universities and research centres.One of scientists’ main goals is to get their research results across and make both the scientific method and the ins and outs of science comprehensible to a wider public. As part of their communicative endeavour, researchers are also exploring other ways to reach out to society beyond the traditional media.
Living with climate change. The challenge of a new cultural change
Authors: León Bienvenido
Published: March 2024

The scientific community has reached an ample consensus about the existence of climate change and its causes; one of the most extensive in the history of science. Scientists agree that the Earth is heating up, primarily as a consequence of human action, which causes drastic global changes: a rise in the sea level, increased frequency and force of heat waves, droughts, and other extreme weather events. These changes have consequences for living beings, including people’s health. That is the reason why science warns of the need to take measures to mitigate its effects and adapt life to a different world.

Today we cannot speak of the scientific community as a tightly homogeneous group. Scientific practice is based more and more on the heterogeneity of its agents, on the multitude of contributions that shape each field of knowledge, on the diversity of scientists and their networks, but also on a great variety of shapes and formulas for communication. Scientific advances follow each other faster and faster every day, and having such plural points of views and agents comes with more complexity than ever when disseminating and explaining them. This makes it difficult to transmit science to the general public with the required rigour and depth of analysis. One of the long-standing objectives of Mètode Science Studies Journal is to contribute to the placid analysis of science, which requires taking some distance but also keeping our attention on the objective, lest we lose sight of science news and novelties. The volume we are publishing this year reflects that need. It presents some of the challenges science must face immediately here and now and shows how science keeps trying to permeate society. Among these pages, the reader will find a series of texts delving on the challenges and open questions in mathematics for the next decades; following these documents, we take a look back at our past thanks to palaeontology, to understand how this discipline studies our origins in order to help us understand our present. The new Mètode SSJ issue includes also a monograph on the worrisome presence and penetration of pseudoscience in our society and an analysis of how literature has discussed health and disease. A volume collecting a plurality of perspectives to offer the reader tools to take in the complexity of science. A volume to think about science. A volume – ultimately – to make science.
