The social restriction measures implemented due to the COVID-19 pandemic have impacted the pattern of occurrences of respiratory viruses. According to surveillance results in the Gwangju region of South Korea, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) did not occur during the 2020/2021 season. However, there was a delayed resurgence in the 2021/2022 season, peaking until January 2022. To analyze this, a total of 474 RSV positive samples were investigated before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Among them, 73 samples were selected for whole-genome sequencing. The incidence rate of RSV in the 2021/2022 season after COVID-19 was found to be approximately three-fold higher compared to before the pandemic, with a significant increase observed in the age group from under 2 years old to under 5 years old. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that, for RSV-A, whereas four lineages were observed before COVID-19, only the A.D.3.1 lineage was observed during the 2021/2022 season post-pandemic. Additionally, during the 2022/2023 season, the A.D.1, A.D.3, and A.D.3.1 lineages co-circulated. For RSV-B, while the B.D.4.1.1 lineage existed before COVID-19, both the B.D.4.1.1 and B.D.E.1 lineages circulated after the pandemic. Although atypical RSV occurrences were not due to new lineages, there was an increase in the frequency of mutations in the F protein of RSV after COVID-19. These findings highlight the need to continue monitoring changes in RSV occurrence patterns in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic to develop and manage strategies in response.

Published: May 2024

DNA viruses that produce persistent infections have been proposed as potential causes for the extinction of Neanderthals, and, therefore, the identification of viral genome remnants in Neanderthal sequence reads is an initial step to address this hypothesis. Here, as proof of concept, we searched for viral remnants in sequence reads of Neanderthal genome data by mapping to adenovirus, herpesvirus and papillomavirus, which are double-stranded DNA viruses that may establish lifelong latency and can produce persistent infections. The reconstructed ancient viral genomes of adenovirus, herpesvirus and papillomavirus revealed conserved segments, with nucleotide identity to extant viral genomes and variable regions in coding regions with substantial divergence to extant close relatives. Sequence reads mapped to extant viral genomes showed deamination patterns of ancient DNA, and these ancient viral genomes showed divergence consistent with the age of these samples (≈50,000 years) and viral evolutionary rates (10−5 to 10−8 substitutions/site/year). Analysis of random effects showed that the Neanderthal mapping to genomes of extant persistent viruses is above what is expected by random similarities of short reads. Also, negative control with a nonpersistent DNA virus does not yield statistically significant assemblies. This work demonstrates the feasibility of identifying viral genome remnants in archaeological samples with signal-to-noise assessment.

Objective: Brazil was strongly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Its continental dimension and socio-demographic characteristics pose challenges to distribution and accessibility, making vaccination programs challenging. The objectives of the study were to describe the clinical and demographic characteristics of the general population vaccinated against COVID-19 by October 2021 and analyze the strategies implemented during the vaccination program. Study design and setting: A retrospective nationwide study that analyzed data from the OpenDataSUS platform of the Informatics Department of the Brazilian Ministry of Health (DataSUS), which contains information from all individuals in Brazil who have received at least one dose of any vaccine against COVID-19 approved by the National Health Agency (ANVISA) from 17 January to 3 October 2021. Results: Until 3 October, a total of 146,254,578 persons (68.6 per 100 inhabitants) received at least one dose of a vaccine in Brazil. The north and northeast regions had the lowest vaccination rates compared with the remaining regions (North: 56.8, Northeast: 62.0, South: 74.4, and Southeast: 73.2 per 100 inhabitants). Elderly individuals had the highest vaccination rates, particularly those above 70 years old. Heterologous dosing regimens were administered to 1,063,079 individuals (0.7% of those receiving the first dose). Conclusions: The COVID-19 vaccination program reached more than two-thirds of the population in Brazil by 9 months after its start, but the vaccination coverage was heterogeneous, reflecting the country’s geographic and socio-demographic characteristics. Establishing priority groups for vaccination was a main characteristic of the vaccination strategy. In addition, technology transfer agreements have played an important role in increasing vaccine accessibility.
Effect of Fermentation Time, pH, and Their Interaction on the Production of Volatile Fatty Acids from Cassava Wastewater
Authors: Sanchez-Ledesma Lina Marcela , Rodríguez-Victoria Jenny Alexandra , Ramírez-Malule Howard
Published: May 2024

Acidogenic fermentation is a technology that involves halting methanogenesis in the conventional anaerobic digestion process to produce mainly volatile fatty acids (VFAs). VFAs serve as direct precursors to energy-rich or higher value-added products upon undergoing additional processing. In this study, batch reactors were utilized to assess the individual and interaction effects of fermentation time and pH variables on VFA production from acidogenic fermentation of cassava wastewater through the establishment of a completely randomized design and a second-order response surface (rotatable central composite design), respectively. The maximum VFA production observed was 3444.04 mg of acetic acid (HAc)/L (0.58 gCODVFA/gCOD) in a fermentation time of 6 days, with acetic (48.5%), propionic (28.3%), and butyric (13.6%) acids identified as the main metabolites. Additionally, in the assessment of the effect of pH, the maximum VFA production reached 2547.72 mgHAc/L (0.34 gCODVFA/gCOD) at pH 5.9, and acetic acid was identified as the predominant organic acid. Statistically, the fermentation time and pH variables individually affect VFA production from cassava wastewater; however, the interaction between them generated a non-significant effect.
Predictability of Hurricane Storm Surge: An Ensemble Forecasting Approach Using Global Atmospheric Model Data

Published: May 2024

Providing storm surge risk information at multi-day lead times is critical for hurricane evacuation decisions, but predictability of storm surge inundation at these lead times is limited. This study develops a method to parameterize and adjust tropical cyclones derived from global atmospheric model data, for use in storm surge research and prediction. We implement the method to generate storm tide (surge + tide) ensemble forecasts for Hurricane Michael (2018) at five initialization times, using archived operational ECMWF ensemble forecasts and the dynamical storm surge model ADCIRC. The results elucidate the potential for extending hurricane storm surge prediction to several-day lead times, along with the challenges of predicting the details of storm surge inundation even 18 h before landfall. They also indicate that accurately predicting Hurricane Michael’s rapid intensification was not needed to predict the storm surge risk. In addition, the analysis illustrates how this approach can help identify situationally and physically realistic scenarios that pose greater storm surge risk. From a practical perspective, the study suggests potential approaches for improving real-time probabilistic storm surge prediction. The method can also be useful for other applications of atmospheric model data in storm surge research, forecasting, and risk analysis, across weather and climate time scales.

Published: May 2024

Hog farm wastewater may require novel biological treatment techniques to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Previous studies combining vermifiltration with downstream hydroponics showed the need for a balanced wastewater nutrient content, particularly the nitrogen-to-phosphorus ratio. Here, a deep-water culture hydroponic system, growing lettuce as model culture, was used to remediate hog farm wastewater after an initial vermifiltration stage, aiming to produce an effluent suitable for irrigation. Supplemented vermifiltered wastewater (SVW) with added nutrients was tested against unsupplemented vermifiltered wastewater (VW) over 35 days, using a synthetic nutrient solution (NS) as a control. Supplementation was shown to improve lettuce growth, light use efficiency, and water use efficiency. Nutrient analysis over time showed a better-balanced phosphorus and nitrogen removal in SVW than in VW; in all treatments nitrogen and phosphorus content was reduced to legally acceptable levels for treated wastewater reuse in irrigation: nitrate 5 mgN L−1 in VW and undetectable in SVW and NS; ammonia undetectable in all treatments; and total phosphorus 2.4 mg L−1 in SVW, 0.9 mg L−1 in NS and undetectable in VW. Coliforms increased in VW and SVW during hydroponic treatment, which should be solved by disinfection. Overall, combining vermifiltration with downstream hydroponic culture proved to be a promising treatment to remediate nutrients in hog farm effluent to make it suitable to be reused for irrigation.
Exploring Groundwater Quality Trends in Valliyar Sub-Basin, Kanniyakumari District, India through Advanced Machine Learning Techniques
Authors: Ramesh Bhagavathi Krishnan , Vanitha Sankararajan
Published: May 2024

The assessment of water quality assumes a position of utmost significance as it plays a critical role in upholding ecological balance and safeguarding the well-being of human populations. To achieve these goals, an in-depth consideration of water quality trends is essential, as it offers comprehension into the intricate interplay between various elements within aquatic ecosystems. As a consequence, the proposed work investigates the water quality trends specifically within the Valliyar sub-basin, which encompasses the geographical areas of Kattathurai, Colachal, Thuckalay, and Villukuri. The temporal scope of investigation spans from the year 2000 to 2018 using the dependent variable of water quality parameters with dependent variables of climate data. Recognizing the need for advanced methodologies to tackle the multifaceted nature of water quality dynamics, this research harnesses the power of pioneering machine learning techniques. Two notable approaches, the Radial Bias Function Neural Network (RBFNN) and the DenseNet-121-based Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), are brought into performance. The primary objective is to leverage these techniques to forecast water quality trends for the next twenty-two years. The effectiveness of various machine learning models in predicting water quality is evaluated using the following key performance metrics: the Mean-Square Error (MSE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) and Root-Mean-Square Error (RMSE). Notably, the DenseNet CNN model exhibits accurate prediction among the Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Deep Learning (DL) models. This research underscores the significance of machine learning techniques, with DenseNet CNN model emerging as a particularly promising tool in this domain.
Clarifying the Role of Phosphorus Management Strategies in Enhancing the Sustainability of Wastewater Treatment Plants
Authors: Zhang Huanlun , Li Qiangqiang , Han Dingrong , Liu Ranbin
Published: May 2024

With the emphasis on climate change and society’s goals of carbon neutrality, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are facing new challenges to be more sustainable and particularly to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In addition, the increasingly stringent discharge standard, especially the phosphorus removal target, also puts lots of pressure on WWTPs. The key solution is to tailor and/or optimize the phosphorus management strategies to balance removal targets and sustainability. As such, the present study systematically summarizes and analyzes different phosphorus management approaches and their impacts on the costs and operation of whole plants. The summary shows that precipitate scaling is a common issue that can be alleviated by proper phosphorus management strategies and operation optimization. Biological phosphorus removal and chemical phosphorus removal processes have their respective advantages and disadvantages. Most importantly, each phosphorus removal process probably has countering impacts on wastewater and sludge treatment lines. Thus, the evaluation of a specific phosphorus removal process should consider all factors in choosing a suitable technology, which is also true for phosphorus recovery, and the recovery from incineration ash seems to be a trend that is more feasible from a regulatory perspective.
Un exemple de bengsen-ü üliger, chantefable de Mongolie intérieure
Authors: Even Marie-Dominique
Published: May 2024

If the form of the bengsen-ü üliger (a genre combinating verses and prose with a fiddle accompaniment, which developed rather recently in Inner Mongolia where epos was declining) calls to mind the traditional epic style, on the contrary its content, mostly inspired from the classic Chinese novels, seems at first sight quite far from it. A study of the bengsen-ü üliger translated here, "Wu Song kills the tiger with his fists" (an adaptation from the XXIIIrd chapter of the Shui hu zhuan), is inconsistent with the apparent opposition between bengsen-ü üliger and epos. Actually, the barde takes his inspiration from the account of battles, purple passages – as Wu Song's victory over the mad tiger – in historic and cloak-and-dagger novels (one can note the lack of social novels to inspire the barde) : the narrative structure of these stories easily fits in with the traditional Mongolian repertoire. On the other hand, the way the barde deals with the original story can show a minute copy of some details : nevertheless it allows a quite Mongolian interpretation of the character of Wu Song, that by cancelling some parts (Wu Song high relations, his excessively rash and hot-tempered nature) as well as emphasizing others (loneliness of the hero, huge strength, life-saver dimension of his gesture). Therefore, far from being at variance with the epos, the bengsen-ü üliger is based upon the heroic transformation of a loan story by itself able to contain – partly – the traditional epic pattern. It appears as a substitute to the epos, where the socio-economic conditions of its survival were completely modified (end of the clanic structure, settlement of Chinese farmers, transition towards agriculture)
Faits et gestes du renard en Ardenne
Authors: Vincent Odile
Published: May 2024

Three aspects of the relationships between people of the Ardennes and the fox are explained here, each of them function of a particular social definition of the person concerned : the relationship between the fox and the women, who look after the poultry, that between the fox and hunters (particulary poachers) and lastly, that between the fox who propagates rabies and the population as a whole.

In the first two relationships, the fox shows the same characteristics : he is autonomous, artful, asocial and seductive but at the same time aggressive. When rabies breaks out the fox's status is transformed : reactions to him change ; the fox carrier of rabies loses the place which was traditionnally attributed to him, and becomes an animal to be eliminated.

Chamanisme et lamaïsme en Mongolie septentrionale. Témoins et documents
Authors: Bawden Charles Roskelly
Published: May 2024

The first part of the article comments on descriptions made by foreign observers of Shamanistic ceremonies among the Buryats. The ceremony described by John Bell, a Scot in the retinue of a Russian embassy, seems to have been an artificial performance put on for the members of the embassy. The other descriptions are by the English missionaries in Siberia, for long the Buryats' neighbours at the beginning of the 19th century. The second part of the article deals with certain aspects of these descriptions : for instance, the question of the mixture of Buddhism and Shamanism already noted by the missionaries, and which reappears a hundred years later in some of the Shamanist prayers published by Rintchen and translated by M.-D. Even. Particular attention is given to the « development » of the figure of Ataγa tngri as depicted in these prayers.

Chamanes et bouffons (Népal et Sibérie)
Authors: de Sales Anne
Published: May 2024

Shamanic rites often include episodes during which are displayed sexual jests, ludicrous gesticulations and scatological jokes. These entail mixed feelings of amusement and fear, as well in the audience as among the spirits supposed to attend the show. These scenes are performed sometimes by a mute fool, the shaman’s ritual assistant, or by a couple of dumb people as among the Magar of Nepal, sometimes by the shaman himself when he is supposed to embody a fool-spirit as among the Yakut of Northern Siberia, and sometimes by a peculiar ritual character such as Koča Kan among the Altaian societies of South Siberia. Indigenous participants pay as much attention to this ludicrous aspect of shamanic rituals as most analysts apparently neglect it. The analysis of the Magar case suggests some hypotheses on the fool’s complex ritual role in shamanic rites.

Du projectile au virus. Un art chamanique de l'agression pathogène en Amazonie
Authors: Chaumeil Jean-Pierre
Published: May 2024

La conception de l’agression pathogène sous forme de projectiles téléguidés par des chamanes ou des entités non humaines jouit d’une large diffusion en Amérique du Sud, tout particulièrement dans les basses terres amazoniennes. L’examen de cette forme précise de représentation de la maladie, si différente à première vue de celle développée par la médecine occidentale, permet cependant de s’interroger, au regard notamment de la similitude des logiques qui les gouvernent, sur les possibles connexions entre les savoirs thérapeutiques indigènes et les modèles médicaux occidentaux.
The shamanistic understanding of Hamlet
Authors: Dooley John A.
Published: May 2024

Beaucoup de mythes dans le monde contiennent des thèmes qui coïncident étrangement. Ces ressemblances apparaissent simultanément avec le “motif” récurrent des rites de passage. Les entités qui composent ce “motif” ont été définies par V. W. Turner qui les appelle “discriminations binaires.” Grâce à elles, il est possible de faire le relevé précis des éléments “liminaux” ou “intermédiaires” des œuvres dramatiques, littéraires ou autres. J’ai appelé cette méthode contenue dans mon analyse de Hamlet “critique liminale.” Utiliser cette méthode permet de mettre au jour un grand nombre de strates chamaniques archaïques qui se cachent sous l’élégante surface de cette énigmatique pièce de Shakespeare.

La fête nénetse de l’éleveur de rennes
Authors: Lambert Jean-Luc
Published: May 2024

At the beginning of the century, the Nenetses, unlike the other Samoyeds, did not celebrate a renewal rite conducted by a shaman. Instead, they held an annual feast connnected with reindeer-raising on the name day of Saint Elijah. This practice seems to have been inaugurated by the Orthodox clergy, who Christianized the Nenetses from 1825 on. Elijah, who was associated with rain and fertility of the soil, could, thanks to a play on words, be linked to reindeer. In 1935, the Soviet authorities eliminated all Christian references in this festival, thus transforming its contents. This festival was in the end integrated into the Soviet ritual system and propagated throughout the reindeer-raising populations of the Soviet Union. "The Reindeer-breeder’s Day" is still celebrated today.
Aspects ludiques de la fête aztèque du Tlacaxipehualiztli
Authors: Wohrer Anne-Marie
Published: May 2024

Though it may seem paradoxical to evoke the notion of game in this cruel sacrifice, we explain how we have been driven to identify elements of game in it. In this festival, performed at the beginning of spring in honour of the god Xipe Totec (“Our Lord, the Flayed”), numerous brave war captives were deliberately injured in a “duel” and then sacrificed through tearing their hearts out and lastly, flayed. After explaining why the festival is assimilated to a sacred game celebrating the renewal of life, we demonstrate how some of the most important rituals show a close relation with the notion of game in two of its major components : agôn (contest in Greek) and mimicry. Agôn is found in the so-called “gladiatorial combat” and the numerous fights which take place among the soldiers-spectators, and mimicry in the human personifications of the god and the fictive kinship between the captive and his captor
Inkjet printing and plasma in the digital fashion concept
Authors: Ludaš Anja , Čorak Ivana , Glogar Martinia Ira , Ercegović Ražić Sanja
Published: May 2024

Advanced technologies in the textile industry and the concept of digital fashion have changed the way clothing is designed, produced and consumed. Digital fashion, the result of this combination of technological innovations, is becoming omnipresent and offers a number of benefits. Design adaptability is a key element of digital fashion. Thanks to digital printing, inkjet technology and plasma surface modification, designers and manufacturers have more freedom to create different patterns and designs. With these tools, prints and shapes can be precisely applied to fabric, making it easier to customise clothing to meet customer’s unique needs and preferences. Fast production is also a feature of digital fashion. Digital printing processes combined with plasma surface modification eliminate the need for time-consuming material preparation processes and chemical treatments. This significantly speeds up production and shortens product development time. Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in the fashion industry, the use of plasma and environmentally friendly surface modification methods reduces the environmental impact of the textile industry. Reducing waste and the need for large inventories, helps conserve resources and reduce the negative impact on the environment. Advanced technologies such as digital printing and the use of nanotechnology enable the production of garments with advanced features such as water resistance, antibacterial properties and reflective surfaces. All this makes digital fashion a combination of aesthetics, functionality and environmental responsibility. This concept meets the demands of the modern consumer who is looking for personalization, quick availability, high quality and environmental protection in the fashion industry. Digital fashion is thus becoming the future of the fashion industry, harnessing technology to create innovative, sustainable and adaptable products.

HEALING DISCOURSE IN IT MANAGEMENT: UNVEILING THE POWER OF THE “LEADER IS HEALER” METAPHOR
Authors: Blaženović Nenad , Muhić Emir , Hadžiahmetović Jurida Sanel
Published: May 2024

This paper explores the “Leader is Healer” metaphor in the context of Information Technology (IT) leadership amid the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Using conceptual metaphor theory as a framework, we investigate how the metaphor of a leader as a healer – viewing the organization as a body, crises as ailments, and leadership as a healing process – can guide IT leaders to foster resilience, well-being, and recovery in their teams. Drawing on examples from the IT industry, we analyze the potential benefits of this metaphor, such as promoting a supportive work environment, enhancing mental health, and facilitating adaptability and growth. We also discuss potential drawbacks, including the risk of oversimplification, boundary violations, overreliance on leaders, and neglect of systemic issues. The paper suggests that the “Leader is Healer” metaphor offers a compassionate, human-centric lens for understanding and practicing leadership in the challenging landscape of the post-COVID world. Future research could explore the applicability of this metaphor in other industry contexts or compare it with other leadership metaphors.

THE USE OF STRATEGIC FRAMING IN LOCAL CRISIS REPORTING BY NATIONAL FREQUENCY TELEVISION IN SERBIA
Authors: Bubanja Iva
Published: May 2024

This paper analyses the use of a strategic framework by national frequency televisions in crisis reporting. They aim is to determine the presence of strategic frames in media content, language forms and methods used to construct strategic frames by media, and who the subjects and sources of crisis reporting are. During a crisis, the public relies on the media as a source of information, and political entities exert high pressure on journalists. Due to the connection between the media and politics, media reporting is becoming more biased. The focus is on the political subjects as dominant sources of information and representatives of the crisis. The analyses tries to indicate the role of pluralism of ideas in the Serbian political process and to examine wheather the ideas articulated in the public space reflect the true spectrum of social aspirations. This research was based on a case study of media coverage of the domestic crisis in Belgrade, Serbia. The results show a high degree of singular presentation of reality and routinization of local media practice. Also, symbolical politics is reflected through strategic frames, and the public is getting an image of a polarised world from the dominant political players’ perspective. By giving practical examples and insights into various aspects of media content, we can increase awareness of the level of strategic framing used and encourage media outlets to return to the research process.
PRINCIPLE OF EQUALITY – NOTION AND APPLICATION IN SERBIAN LAW
Authors: Tomić Jovana
Published: May 2024

The principle of equality (of parties) means that all subjects in a legal relationship are put in an equal position, i.e. equal legal position. It is a principle describing a relationship between two wills, which may be the one of coordination or subordination. Despite the fact that in theory the equality of parties is viewed through the lens of equality of two wills, this principle is also applied in the areas where the relationship between parties is defined as the one of subordination. The principle of equality is studied in private and public law alike, but is considered to be a differential principle of civil law by the national legal science. One should differentiate between the principle of equality, studied as a constitutional principle and most often representing “some variety of [an] antidiscrimination principle,” and the equality of parties in the capacity of parties to a legal transaction. At the constitutional level, legal equality involves the equality of citizens, i.e. natural persons, protected by the provisions of non-discrimination, both direct and indirect. On the other hand, parties to a legal transaction or civil law subjects are equal when entering into a civil law relationship, but also during the exercise of their contractual rights and obligations. The idea behind the principle of equality is to ensure equal treatment in unequal social circumstances. This paper focuses on the analysis of the notion of legal equality in Serbian law. It is the author’s objective to show in which areas of law and in which form the principle of equality features, giving the most interesting examples of individual situations where equality is discussed.

In this study length-weigth relationships and and growth parameters of Boops boops (Linneaus, 1756) sampled from Didim coasts, South-eastern Aegean Sea were investigated. A total of 361 specimens (226 females and 135 males) were sampled. The mean length and weights were 18.57 ± 2.46 cm and 60.74 ± 23.60 g for females and 17.63 ± 3.63 cm and 60.50 ± 36.87 g for males, respectively. The overall sex ratio (F:M) was determined as 1:1.67 (χ², P < 0.05). Length-weight relationships for all individuals were described by the parameters a = 0.0113, b = 2.93 and r² = 0.974. The exponent of the b parameter represented negative allometric growth in females, isometric growth in males and negative allometric growth in both sexes. Values were statically significant (P < 0.05). The von Bertalanffy growth parameters were calculated as L∞ = 35.34 cm, k = 0.156 year-1, t0 = -2.093 years for females; L∞ = 33.23 cm, k = 0.184 year-1, t0 = -1.268 years for males; L∞ = 41.23 cm, k = 0.117 year-1, t0 = -2.200 years for both sexes. The growth performance index (φ´) was estimated for females, males, and both sexes as 2.291, 2.310, and 2.302, respectively. Age determinations varied from 1 to 5 years and age class III was found dominant in both sexes.
Extimidad: lenguaje historia y real
Authors: Cardozo Gonzalez Santiago
Published: May 2024

El concepto de extimidad que Lacan formulara en el Seminario 7 La ética del psicoanálisis tiene una relevancia mayúscula para el análisis del discurso de la llamada escuela francesa (ADF) en particular y para la lingüística en general. Sin embargo, dicha relevancia no ha sido mayormente señalada, como tampoco puesta en escena en los textos teóricos ni en los análisis discursivos concretos que se han llevado adelante, hecho que resulta, si no especialmente llamativo, al menos digno de convocar nuestra atención. El presente artículo procura ser una indagación sobre algunas de las consecuencias teóricas y prácticas que implica el concepto lacaniano en juego para el ADF, particularmente para el análisis que propongo aquí de la expresión nuestra historia como discurso corriente, dicho por cualquier hablante en cualquier circunstancia, y también como discurso propio de la historia como disciplina
¿Qué quiere decir hablar en psicoanálisis?
Authors: Serra Ana
Published: May 2024

El presente texto es el resultado de la clase “¿Qué quiere decir hablar en psicoanálisis? Necesidad-Demanda-Deseo que se dicta en la asignatura Clínica I de la Facultad de Psicología de la Universidad Nacional de Rosario. Atraviesa a esta clase, como a otras que tienen lugar en la asignatura, la pregunta por aquello que especifica al habla analítica con el objetivo de ofrecer a los estudiantes del 5to año de la carrera de Psicología una aproximación a la práctica del psicoanálisis. En este sentido, se ofrecerá una aproximación a cómo la tríada necesidad-demanda-deseo constituyen a la palabra que acontece en psicoanálisis. Asimismo, se intentará dejar tan solo situado, y para abordarse con posterioridad, cómo esta problemática es solidaria de la noción de sujeto, específicamente aquella que se traza en la enseñanza de Lacan promediando el Siglo XX.
Implementasi metode radial basis function untuk kendali lampu berdasarkan kebiasaan penghuni rumah

Lampu merupakan sumber cahaya yang sangat penting sebagai pengganti matahari. Saat ini, pengguna harus menekan tombol ON/OFF pada sakelar untuk mengendalikan lampu secara manual. Dikarenakan berbagai macam kegiatan yang dimiliki oleh pengguna, mengakibatkan pengguna lupa mematikan lampu saat meninggalkan rumah sehingga kendali secara manual ini seringkali menjadi tidak efisien. Otomatisasi menjadi salah satu solusi untuk dapat memberikan pencahayaan otomatis tanpa perlu menghidupkan dan mematikan lampu secara manual. Kendali otomatis berdasarkan kebiasaan menjadi solusi untuk dapat memberikan kemudahan dan kenyamanan dengan mengenali kebiasaan pengguna. Pada penelitian ini telah dibangun sebuah sistem kendali lampu berdasarkan kebiasaan penghuni rumah dengan mengimplementasikan metode radial basis function. Data penelitian ini diperoleh dari 6 lampu yang menghasilkan 620 data pelatihan yang dikumpulkan selama 15 hari dan juga menghasilkan 48 data hasil pengujian yang dilakukan selama 2 hari. Jaringan ini terdiri dari 1 neuron input layer, 6 neuron output layer, dan variasi jumlah neuron hidden layer. Berdasarkan pengamatan jumlah neuron hidden layer, semakin banyak neuron hidden layer maka tingkat akurasi cenderung semakin tinggi dan waktu pelatihan cenderung semakin lama. Hasil dari implementasi dengan menggunakan 30 neuron hidden layer, sistem menunjukkan keberhasilan pada pengujian dengan mencapai precision sebesar 98,413%, recall sebesar 95,384%, dan akurasi sebesar 97,222%.

Salah satu solusi dari pengendalian jarak jauh dapat menerapkan sistem kendali terdistribusi. Dengan process plant ketinggian air, integrasi sistem kendali terdistribusi dapat menggunakan protokol komunikasi message queue telemetry transport (MQTT). Broker MQTT dapat digunakan sebagai server yang menghubungkan antara process plant dengan desktop PC menggunakan software MQTT Explorer dan HMI yang digunakan dapat dibuat menggunakan Node-Red. Proses penalaan pada sistem pengendalian ketinggian cairan dapat menggunakan metoda Cohen-Coon. Hasil pengujian yang dilakukan dapat melihat performa kerja dari kendali ketinggian cairan dan juga menguji dari sistem komunikasi data dari HMI yang dibuat. Hasil dari pengujian kendali ketinggian air pada process plant dengan metode penalaan Cohen-Coon menghasilkan tanggapan sebesar Td = 20,5 detik, Tr = 67,75 detik, dan Ts = 88 detik dengan nilai referensi 10 cm. Hasil tersebut lebih baik dari pada penalaan menggunakan metode Ziegler-Nichols yang menghasilkan tanggapan sebesar Td = 20,5 detik, Tr = 67,75 detik, dan Ts = 88 detik. Untuk pengujian sistem komunikasi dari HMI digunakan metode ping dan tracert mendapatkan waktu tunda 0 sampai 1 ms untuk rentang pengiriman data.
Wie fühlst du dich bei (un)moralischen Entscheidungen? Die moralische Identität, Emotionen und Urteile von Jugendlichen ohne und mit sonderpädagogischem Förderbedarf in der Emotionalen und Sozialen Entwicklung sowie Lernen

Studien zur Moralentwicklung legen nahe, dass Jugendliche mit Förderbedarf (FB ESE und LE) Risiken (z. B. Impulsivität oder Unsicherheiten in sozialen Interaktionen) in ihrer moralischen Entwicklung haben könnten. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht Unterschiede in den Assoziationen zwischen moralischer Identität (der teilnehmenden Jugendlichen), mora- lischer Emotionszuschreibung (hypothetische Einschätzung der Emotionen von in Bilder- geschichten dargestellten Personen) und Zulässigkeit (Zulässigkeit der Entscheidungen aus den Bildergeschichten) bei N = 649 Jugendlichen mit und ohne FB mittels Pfadmodell und χ2-Differenztest. Bei dem verwendeten Erhebungsinstrument wurden Bildergeschichten mit moralischen Dilemmata genutzt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen signifikante Assoziationen der mora- lischen Identität über moralische Emotionszuschreibungen auf die Zulässigkeit von unmo- ralischem Verhalten. Unterschiede zwischen den Gruppen wurden festgestellt. Es ergeben sich signifikante Unterschiede zwischen den Jugendlichen mit FB ESE und ohne FB sowie FB LE für den Effekt von moralischer Identität auf moralische Emotionszuschreibungen bei schadendem Verhalten (z. B. jemanden schubsen, um pünktlich zum Bus zu kommen oder jemanden schlagen, um das Eigentum zurückzubekommen, was von der Person entwendet wurde). Im Modell von Jugendlichen mit dem FB ESE zeigte sich der stärkste Zusammen- hang. In Bezug auf die Gruppen FB LE und kein FB ergeben sich signifikante Unterschiede für die Assoziationen von moralischen Emotionszuschreibungen bei schadendem Verhalten auf moralische Zulässigkeit. Im Modell von Jugendlichen mit dem FB LE zeigte sich der stärkste Zusammenhang. Die Bedeutung der Moral in der sonderpädagogischen Forschung und Praxis wird dargestellt.

Published: May 2024

Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht 38 sonderpädagogische Gutachten aus dem Förderschwerpunkt Emotionale und soziale Entwicklung mit Fokus darauf, ob diese die wissenschaftlich gebräuchlichen Qualitätskriterien erfüllen, welche Bereiche untersucht werden, welche Merkmale für die Verfahrenseröffnung und Zuschreibung des Förderschwerpunktes herangezogen werden und anhand welcher Merkmale die Begründung für die Verfahrenseröffnung und die Zuschreibung erfolgt. Die Gutachten wurden in einem Mixed-Methods-Design aus quantitativer und qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen auf, dass die Gutachten nicht den wissenschaftlichen Qualitätsstandards entsprechen und im Prozess primär individuumsbezogene Merkmale, insbesondere das Verhalten des Kindes, berücksichtigt werden.

Erfolgskriterien in komplexen Hilfesystemen
Authors: Hoyer Jan
Published: May 2024

In diesem Beitrag wird von komplexen Hilfesystemen gesprochen, wenn sich Jugendhilfe, Gesundheit und Bildung die Zuständigkeit für eine Zielgruppe teilen. Im Zusammenwirken komplexer Hilfesysteme finden sich organisationale Grenzen, systembezogene Handlungslogiken und berufsgruppenspezifische Besonderheiten (Reiser, 2000; Herz, 2017; Hoyer, 2021). In diesem Beitrag sollen vorläufige Ergebnisse einer Untersuchung dargestellt werden, die allerdings Gemeinsamkeiten in den Fokus stellen. Ziel der Untersuchung ist es überinstitutionelle und berufsgruppenübergreifende Kriterien für Erfolg aus den Handlungsfeldern der Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrie, der Sozialen Arbeit und der Sonderpädagogik zu operationalisieren, diese den Trägerinstanzen zurückzumelden und somit komplexen Hilfesystemen eine übergreifende Orientierung im geteilten Zuständigkeitsbereich anzubieten.
Neue Autorität als Verbindende Pädagogik oder: Wann schlägt das Pendel um? Neue Autorität zwischen ‚Kuschelpädagogik‘ und ‚Sekte‘. Ein Interview.
Authors: Jany Martin , Vrban Robert , Link Pierre-Carl
Published: May 2024

Das Pendel zum Konzept der Neuen Autorität (NA) bewegt sich nach unseren Erfahrungen seit Jahren im praktischen und theoretischen Diskurs zwischen den Polen einer eher sehr kri- tischen und einer eher sehr offenen, zugewandten Haltung. In unserem Interview thematisie- ren wir diese gegenüber Neuer Autorität enthusiastischen und kritischen Bezüge. Die Spann- breite der Perspektiven und Akteur:innen sind somit sehr breit und diese werden im Artikel von Behringer (2023) fundiert und pointiert diskutiert. Darauf soll in dem nachfolgenden Interview aus einem täglich praktizierenden und darauf anknüpfenden wissenschaftlichen Blickwinkel praxeologisch geschaut werden als Grundlage für einen weiteren Diskurs. Ziel des Beitrags ist es, durch ein Interview mit einer Schulleitung, die nach der Neuen Autorität arbeitet, diesen Diskurs zu erweitern.
