Authors: Wang Cenyue , PoongOh Youn
Published: September 2024

This study applies Kohonen neural networks for clustering analysis in sports. By iteratively optimizing the objective function, it effectively avoids numerous subjective factors, providing a novel and efficient approach for obtaining objective clustering results. The results demonstrate that clustering analysis using Kohonen neural networks offers a clear practical value in evaluating the comprehensive strength of soccer teams. It serves as an effective method for rational, effective, objective, and quantifiable assessment of team tactics and strategies. Furthermore, this method is readily applicable to other comprehensive evaluations in competitive sports.

Este é um dos princípios do TREINI®, um programa de intervenção interdisciplinar e centrado na família desenvolvido para crianças com Paralisia Cerebral (PC), Síndrome de Down e Mielomeningocele. Objetivo: Investigar a percepção dos pais sobre os efeitos do programa TREINI® no desempenho e na satisfação de metas funcionais em crianças com PC; avaliar se o programa TREINI® incorpora aspectos de colaboração família-profissional e a satisfação dos pais a intervenção. Métodos: Realizou-se um estudo quase-experimental de grupo único envolvendo 114 crianças com PC (idade=7,31±3,24 anos). A Medida Canadense de Desempenho Ocupacional (COPM) e um Questionário de Experiência foram utilizados como medidas de desfecho. O protocolo de intervenção teve a duração de 3 meses, 5x por semana, durante 3-4hs por dia e envolveu o treinamento de tarefas funcionais em ambiente naturalista associado ao uso de uma veste terapêutica. Resultados: Aproximadamente 63% (n=72) dos participantes demonstraram melhorias no desempenho e na satisfação, variando de 1 a 9 pontos na COPM. O programa TREINI® resultou em melhorias significativas no desempenho e na satisfação das metas funcionais (p<0,05). A maioria dos pais (87%, n=99) relatou que a intervenção incorporou a colaboração família-profissional, e 93% (n=106) expressaram satisfação com a intervenção. Conclusão: Na percepção dos pais, o desempenho e a satisfação com as metas funcionais melhoraram após as crianças receberem o programa TREINI®. Estudos futuros mais rigorosos são necessários para que esses achados, bem como outros relacionados, possam ser devidamente verificados.

En tierra de nadie
Authors: Holgado Margalet Pablo
Published: September 2024

En tierra de nadie agrupa sesenta sonetos que desgranan un proceso de desarraigo. Dividido en dos partes —antes y después, causa y efecto, pérdida y búsqueda—, a la elección de la forma poética por excelencia se suma la indagación en torno a los tópicos universales de fe y amor («enanos a hombros de gigantes»…), eso sí, inspirados por la llama siempre novedosa de la experiencia particular. Cada uno de estos sonetos, concebidos como piezas individuales, participa de un conjunto integrador que, como en tantas otras ocasiones, no desveló el misterio de su unicidad hasta que se vio completado.  En tierra de nadie nace de un doloroso desconcierto fruto de un doble desgajamiento, de Dios y de musa, vinculando así trascendencia y amor (divino y humano), como en los ejes de una cruz; y se desarrolla en el esforzado itinerario, a través de un desolado páramo espiritual, por el que se ve obligada a transitar un alma. Las interrogaciones concernientes a la fe y la certeza de la angustia se solapan con las reflexiones acerca de un amor que, habiendo sido breve cielo, se prolonga en la ausencia bajo la forma de una pequeña muerte que ronda.

LA LÓGICA INSTITUCIONAL COMO RECURSO IMPRESCINDIBLE EN LAS UNIONES SUPRAESTATALES. EL CASO DE LA U.E.
Authors: de la Cuétara Martínez Juan Miguel
Published: September 2024

La presente colaboración trata de determinar si existe alguna tendencia observable en la Unión Europea, paralela a la apreciada en los Estados miembros, según la cual las principales instituciones jurídico-políticas estatales se están degradando por la prevalencia dada en su gestión a la lógica organizativa sobre la institucional. Un rápido examen de la situación en los Estados y la Unión muestra que, efectivamente, tal degradación se da también en las instituciones comunitarias, y por la misma causa: la desatención a la lógica institucional en la gestión de los problemas que la U.E. ha tenido que afrontar en los últimos decenios. Dos mini-estudios de caso y el testimonio de un cualificado observador de la cultura jurídica contemporánea confirman lo apuntado. El texto finaliza invitando a los lectores a utilizar con mayor asiduidad la cadena «observación → aprendizaje → cooperación» propia de pensamiento institucional, en una invitación cuyo seguimiento permitiría a los constructores de entidades supranacionales en Europa e Iberoamérica una mejor visión de su tarea en el complicado mundo global y posmoderno del s. XXI.

La integración es, en todos sus modelos, una manera de relacionamiento igualitario de las respuestas, en este caso jurídicas, que supera las fronteras entre los elementos de la mera coexistencia de soluciones independientes, la dominación y la desintegración. La integración, en sus diversas posibilidades, significa avances en la solidaridad de un proyecto vital compartido. Sin ignorar ventajas circunstanciales posiblemente diversas, para Europa la mejor opción estratégica profunda es América Latina y para ésta la mejor opción estratégica profunda es Europa. En nuestra circunstancia argentina y mercosureña es sobre todo notoria la ventaja recíproca en la integración iberoamericana.
Multipolaridad, idealismo e imperialismo. Los imaginarios históricos y geopolíticos de la guerra ruso-ucraniana en el comunismo español
Authors: Sánchez Iglesias Eduardo
Published: September 2024

El texto tiene como objetivo analizar los diferentes debates que se desarrollan dentro del comunismo español respecto de la invasión rusa de Ucrania de febrero de 2022 y establecer los distintos imaginarios históricos y geopolíticos que coexisten dentro del Partido Comunista de España (PCE). La pregunta de partida de este trabajo es la siguiente: ¿cuáles son las diferentes interpretaciones que se aprecian dentro del comunismo español sobre la guerra ruso-ucraniana? Aplicando una metodología de análisis de marcos discursivos (frame analysis), la investigación pretende exponer los marcos de interpretación del discurso político y los imaginarios geopolíticos que, sobre la guerra rusoucraniana, existen dentro del comunismo español, dando como resultado tres imaginarios diferenciados: el imaginario multipolar, mayoritario en las posiciones mantenidas por el PCE; el imaginario idealista, que representaría la posición de Izquierda Unida (IU), y el imaginario imperialista, defendido por la Unión de Juventudes Comunistas de España (UJCE).

From TUNeZINE to Nhar 3la 3mmar: A Reconsideration of the Role of Bloggers in Tunisia’s Revolution
Authors: Kallander Amy Aisen
Published: September 2024

In mid-November 2010, prominent bloggers Lina ben Mhenni and Arabasta began a campaign to attract new voices to the Tunisian blogosphere under the rubric “7ell blog”[2] or “start blogging” through an eponymous webpage and Facebook group. Posts included instructions for beginners, links to hosting sites, explanations on how to add videos or how to participate in an aggregator, and debates about whether bloggers should write anonymously. By early January 2011 they tallied over 3,000 friends, and had posted links to 100 newly created or recently revived blogs. The site was then hacked by government censors (7ellblog 2011). While the initiative did not espouse an overt activist agenda, was not affiliated with any political party or civil society organization, by connecting blogs to increasingly popular forms of social networking it highlighted the importance of new media as a format for encouraging freedom of expression. Their efforts were comparable to previous online efforts to defy censorship in that a few motivated individuals were able to generate digital momentum for a cause just as their experience with censorship was typical of the prevalent Internet surveillance that characterized Tunisia under Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali (1987-2011). Across the Middle East, as young, well-educated, upper-class critics turned to the Internet to voice their opinions, they faced a range of serious consequences from harassment to arrest and torture (Lynch 2007). This article will examine Tunisia’s particular case, showing that the international focus on social media’s impact stemmed partially from the paradoxical ability of Ben Ali to control the Internet while maintaining a reputation as a modern, democratic statesman.

Is the Egyptian Press Ready for Democracy? Evaluating Newspaper Coverage as an Indicator of Democratization
Authors: Rayman Noah
Published: September 2024

If the Egyptian transition to democracy is to succeed, social institutions like the press will have to embrace their democratic responsibilities. In this paper, I look for signs of change in the post-Revolution press as an indicator of the progress of Egyptian democratization. During interviews conducted over the summer of 2011 with journalists and media experts in Egypt, I found that the press was still constrained by low journalistic standards and continued government interference. But the newspapers’ content tells a different story. Digitally combing through five years of coverage from the independent newspaper Al-Masry Al-Youm’s online archives (comprising more than a quarter of a million articles), this study determined that coverage in the six months after the Revolution heavily converged on political topics that were formerly off limits. This newspaper replaced trivial reporting on culture and entertainment with coverage of the protests, political players like the Muslim Brotherhood, and the branches of government. These stories put pressure on the emerging government and set a precedent for political coverage under the new democratic regime. The evolution of Al-Masry Al-Youm’s coverage suggests that the newspaper is beginning to play a democratizing role, indicating that Egypt is progressing along the path to democracy.[1]

What Super Productive People Do Differently
Authors: Westover Jonathan
Published: September 2024

This article explores seven habits shown through research to distinguish highly productive individuals from average performers. Each habit is grounded in academic literature and illustrated with real-world industry examples. The habits include planning the next day's schedule in advance to be proactive rather than reactive. Minimizing distractions like notifications to focus deeply on priorities. Batching similar tasks together to maintain cognitive momentum. Automating repetitive tasks to streamline workflow. Enforcing strict boundaries between work and personal time to prevent burnout. Dedicating time to continuous self-improvement through skills development. And scheduling regular "deep work" sessions for uninterrupted focus on complex cognitive work. The article argues that organizational leaders who foster a culture supporting these evidence-based productivity strategies can cultivate high-performing teams consistently delivering quality outcomes despite demanding workloads. adopting some principles could significantly increase organizational output.
"Pensar a pura vida"
Authors: Pennycook Pedro
Published: September 2024

I argue that Hegel’s concept of freedom requires the dissolution of dichotomies between history and nature. Ultimately, dissolving them would lead to an embodied concept of agency, whereby the singularity of each concrete organism finds normative expression within a free form of life. For that, I suggest that the dialectical thesis of speculative identity intertwines social critique with the critique of philosophical language. I shall call this procedure a “grammatical critique”, revealing Hegel’s shift to a vital normativity as its therapeutic moment. That will allow me to present the social pathologies of dualistic forms of life as a withholding of the fluidity of organic nature, instantiated in the body-mind split. I then turn to Adorno’s notion of “recording nature”, arguing that it fulfills the dialectical criteria for free a form of life, that is: where its agents are able to reflexively enact their vital normativity
Ser-genérico
Authors: Khurana Thomas , Nakamura Emmanuel
Published: September 2024

In which sense can human beings be conceived as social animals? To elucidate this question, the present paper (I) distinguishes the logical sociality of all living beings from the material sociality of social animals and the political sociality of self-conscious social animals. (II) The self-conscious political sociality that characterizes the human genus-being requires a complex interplay of first and second person through which alone we can participate in our form of life and determine its content. (III) The human form of life thus constituted is characterized by a particularly open, and at the same time precarious, membership which involves specific forms of vulnerability and power. (IV) Against this background, forms of objective spirit are necessary which grant us a generalized recognition and relieve us from the contingency of each particular second-personal recognition, without abandoning the openness of the sociality of the human form of life. This double requirement has led to paradoxical institutions in modern society which strive to protect and ensure the sociality of the human form of life precisely by naturalizing and individualizing our access to it.
Unraveling the Role of TREM2 and CD33 in Alzheimer’s Disease
Authors: Haddad Giselle
Published: September 2024

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. This study investigates the role of two key genes, TREM2 and CD33, in AD pathogenesis. Gene expression profiles from human brain samples and transgenic mouse models were analyzed using data from the Gene Expression Omnibus. Differential gene expression analysis revealed significant upregulation of TREM2 and CD33 in AD samples compared to controls. Analysis of KEGG pathway, a database composed of biological pathway maps, showed TREM2 involvement in osteoclast differentiation and CD33 in hematopoietic cell lineage. String database analysis highlighted both genes' roles in regulating tumor necrosis factor production and cytokine production. Furthermore, TREM2 variants in AD patients were examined, identifying six variants (H157Y, R98W, D87N, T66M, Y38C, and Q33X) exclusive to AD samples. The R47H variant showed the strongest correlation with AD (p<0.01). The following SNPs of CD33 were identified as contributors to AD development: rs3826656, rs3865444, and rs12459419. These findings suggest that TREM2 and CD33 play crucial roles in AD progression, potentially through modulation of microglial function and inflammatory responses. These genes may serve as promising targets for developing novel AD therapeutics and biomarkers.
The Impact of Classroom Activity Breaks on the School-Day Physical Activity of Rural Children
Authors: Bershwinger Teresa , Brusseau Timothy A.
Published: September 2024

Schools have been identified as a central element in a system that ensures that children participate in enough physical activity to develop healthy lifestyles. Even with this recommendation, many school-based physical activity opportunities are being eliminated/minimized (i.e. physical education (PE), recess). With children spending much of their time at school, other supplemental physical activity opportunities are essential. One such opportunity is through classroom teacher led activity breaks. Very little evidence exists identifying the impact of classroom activity breaks on the daily physical activity patterns of children. Therefore, the purpose of this paper was to determine the impact of classroom teacher led activity breaks on the step counts and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) of 4th grade children at school. Participants in this pilot study included a 4th grade class (N=18; aged 9.2±.4 years; mostly Caucasian (n=14); BMI=19.9±2.8) in a rural school district in the Northeast US. Children wore the NL-1000 piezoelectric pedometer for 2-weeks (a baseline week and an activity break week) during the winter of 2012. Activity breaks were created by the teacher/students to give them ownership in the program (activities included numerous classroom games and walking activities). At baseline, children averaged 4806±639 steps and 17.7±2.8 minutes of MVPA/day. During implementation of the physical activity breaks, children significantly increased both their steps (p<.01; 5651±627; D=845) and MVPA (p<.01; 22.3±3.5; D=4.6 minutes). Findings suggest that classroom activity breaks have the potential to increase children’s daily physical activity patterns at school. Future studies are needed with a larger and more diverse population to support these findings.
