language university courses for beginner and intermediate learners. The flipped classroom approach delivers course content that prioritizes both digital technology and active learning. Despite its potential advantages in the language classroom, empirical research in this area remains limited. The present study addresses the gap by investigating the effects of the flipped classroom approach on Spanish as a foreign language by comparing student attitudes in flipped and traditional classrooms in beginner and intermediate Spanish courses at a university level. Specifically, this research explores the use of the flipped classroom approach in a second language classroom as a way to present grammar content prior to the in-class lesson and compares the results to those of a traditional, lecture-like delivery of the same grammar content. Drawing on data elicited from students and instructors in these course levels, this study investigates student and instructor perceptions, as well as student autonomy, engagement, and achievement through a qualitative lens.
Tackling the elephant in the language classroom: introducing machine translation literacy in a Swiss language centre
Authors: Cotelli Kureth Sara , Summers Elana
Published: June 2023

University students, especially language learners, have increasingly been using machine translation (MT) systems in the last decade and for all kinds of texts, including homework, assignments and exams. This ubiquity does not translate into visibility as few teachers address the subject in class. Several researchers have shown that MT systems, while technically very easy to access and use, are not always employed in a critical manner. They have therefore suggested that users should develop MT literacy skills. As part of a larger Swiss project on digital literacy in university contexts (DigLit), an action research project at the University of Neuchâtel Language Centre (UniNE LC) seeks to investigate whether delivering a 20-min presentation about machine translation in all L2 classes (French, German, English) at the beginning of the semester was sufficient to foster minimal MT literacy in language learners. All LC students were surveyed at the end of the semester. These survey results were compared with those from a survey of Swiss university students carried out in spring 2021 as part of the DigLit project. These results have allowed us to monitor and enhance the teaching of MT literacy skills in our LC.
Gamification and learning Spanish as a modern language: student perceptions in the university context
Authors: Batlle Rodríguez Jaume , Vicenta González Argüello María
Published: June 2023

Gamification is a methodological strategy that has been applied for several years in the field of modern language learning. It is employed primarily to increase students’ motivation by incorporating game elements into an otherwise didactic context. Research into the use of gamification in language teaching has focused largely on characterizing the specific practices involved and on determining the degree of motivation elicited in students. There has been little examination of students’ perceptions of gamification or their assessment of its effectiveness for learning a modern language. This study analyses learner perception and motivation among a group of sixteen university students of Spanish as a modern foreign language following participation in a gamified learning experience. Analysis of the information gathered from student perception questionnaires and non-participant observation indicates that the students perceive progress in vocabulary learning but not in grammatical knowledge. The students also report a high level of motivation for the proposed learning activities due to the possibility of working collaboratively with their classmates. The article concludes with reflections on the relevance and didactic implications of gamification as a methodological strategy in modern foreign language teaching at higher education level.
IoT-enriched event log generation and quality analytics: a case study
Authors: Grüger Joscha , Malburg Lukas , Bergmann Ralph
Published: June 2023

Modern technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) are becoming increasingly important in various fields, including business process management (BPM) research. An important area of research in BPM is process mining, which can be used to analyze event logs e.g., to check the conformance of running processes. However, the data ingested in IoT environments often contain data quality issues (DQIs) due to system complexity and sensor heterogeneity, among other factors. To date, however, there has been little work on IoT event logs, DQIs occurring in them, and how to handle them. In this case study, we generate an IoT event log, perform a structured data quality analysis, and describe how we addressed the problems we encountered in pre-processing.
Ritual Usage of Water in Greek Sanctuaries
Authors: Klingborg Patrik , von Ehrenheim Hedvig , Frejman Axel
Published: June 2023

Scholars have long highlighted the importance of water for rituals in Greek sanctuaries, but little is known about when and how it was used in practice. Considering the importance attributed to water in rituals at Greek sanctuaries, this article aims to explore water as a purificatory agent for humans and things and as an offering, pure or water mixed with wine, to the gods in the form of libations. Throughout the paper we argue that these activities were located on a spectrum from mundane to religious and can be viewed within a “spatio-temporal” framework where they functioned as visual cues in order to structure activities. To achieve this, we closely and critically examine the empirical material, epigraphic and literary, supported by archaeological and iconographic evidence.

1H NMR spectroscopy of strongly J-coupled alcohols acquired at 50 mT (2 MHz) using a Carr–Purcell–Meiboom–Gill echo technique
Authors: Ronen Itamar , Webb Andrew G.
Published: June 2023

We have investigated an approach for obtaining 1H NMR spectra of different alcohols on a large-bore (27 cm diameter), B
0 = 0.05 T (f
0 = 2 MHz) portable MRI scanner. We used a Carr–Purcell–Meiboom–Gill (CPMG) sequence to acquire multiecho data from solutions of different alcohols, focusing on ethanol, a molecule of relevance to many applications in the food and beverage industry. Our results show that the Fourier transformed J-spectra at different echo spacings fit well with simulations of the evolution of the echo train signal with excellent signal to noise ratio (SNR) for concentrations of ∼10 % within a few minutes. Spectra were also obtained from intact bottles of whiskey and wine. Finally, we show that different alcohols with similar chemical structures can be differentiated using this approach.
The efficacy of manual therapy on HRV in those with long-standing neck pain: a systematic review
Authors: Harper Brent , Price Parker , Steele Megan
Published: June 2023

Objectives

Long-standing neck pain (LNP) is a clinical condition frequently encountered in the physical therapy clinic. LNP is a complex, multifactorial condition affecting multiple body systems including the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Traditionally, research on the impact of physical therapy on LNP has focused on self-report measures and pain scales. Heart rate variability (HRV) is an objective measure of the ANS, allowing for quantification of effects of treatment. This systematic review is intended to evaluate if manual therapy acutely affects heart rate variability in adults with long-standing neck pain.

Methods

Pubmed, Medline, CINAHL, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Cochrane library were used to retrieve the randomized controlled trials for this review between the years 2010–2021. Search terms included: chronic neck pain, neck pain, cervical pain, manual therapy, mobilization, manipulation, osteopathy, osteopathic or chiropractic. Heart rate variability, HRV, heart rate variation, effects, outcomes, benefits, impacts or effectiveness.

Results

Of 139 articles located and screened, three full-text articles were selected for full qualitative synthesis, with a combined population of 112 subjects, 91 of which were female, with an average age of 33.7 ± 6.8 years for all subjects. MT techniques in three studies were statistically significant in improving HRV in people with LNP; however, techniques were differed across studies, while one study showed no benefit. The studies were found to be of high quality with PEDro scores ≥6.

Conclusions

Although no clear cause and effect relationship can be established between improvement in HRV with manual therapy, results supported the use of MT for an acute reduction in HRV. No one particular method of MT has proven superior, MT has been found to produce a statistically significant change in HRV. These HRV changes are consistent with decreased sympathetic tone and subjective pain.
Neuroprotective effects of Cubebin and Hinokinin lignan fractions of Piper cubeba fruit in Alzheimer’s disease in vitro model
Authors: Tarbiat Shirin , Unver Demet , Tuncay Salih , Isik Sevim , Yeman Kiyak Bercem , Mohseni Ali Reza
Published: June 2023

Objectives

The current research examines the protective effects of the Piper cubeba ethanolic extract and its isolated lignans; Cubebin and Hinokinin fractions against Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) in vitro model.

Methods

Dried and powdered fruit of P. cubeba were extracted in ethanol and fractionated using silica gel column chromatography. Of the 15 eluted fractions, two fractions indicated presence of targeted Lignans; Hinokinin and Cubebin. They were monitored by thin layered chromatography and their structures were confirmed by LC-HRMS spectrometry and NMR analysis. Antioxidant activity of the crude extract and isolated lignan fractions were analyzed using FRAP, DPPH and ABTS assays. Anti-acetylcholinesterase activity was investigated in vitro and β-amyloid (Aβ) cytotoxicity on SHSY-5Y human neuroblastoma cell lines was studied using MTT assay.

Results

The crude extract showed similar if not significantly stronger antioxidant capacity compared to ascorbic acid in FRAP and DPPH assays. Both lignans exerted weaker yet potent activity. The crude extract yielded the strongest acetylcholinesterase inhibitory potential compared to the lignan fractions however, there was no significant difference (p<0.05) between IC50 values of lignan fractions. Significant neuroprotective effects against 50 μM Aβ at p<0.05 was observed for selected fractions compared to Aβ treated control. The crude extract was highly protective against Aβ at both 5 and 10 μg/mL. Cubebin and Hinokinin-containing fractions significantly improved the viability of the SH-SY5Y cells against Aβ cytotoxicity both only at the concentration of 100 μg/mL.

Conclusions

Results from our studies suggest that these phytoconstituents might be good candidates in prevention and treatment of AD.
Migration of Hungarians in Europe (2010–2019)
Authors: Mozsgai Mónika Beáta
Published: June 2023

The purpose of the study. In my study, I examine the level of emigration from Hungary to the EU/EFTA member states in the period between 2010 and 2019, the demographic characteristics of emigrating Hungarian citizens, and their motivations for migration. Applied methods. The rate of emigration and the examination of demographic characteristics were analyzed by statistical analysis, the motivation of migration was analyzed by a literature review, and by presenting the results of my own online questionnaire research. Results. In 2019 about 490,000 Hungarian citizens lived in other EU/EFTA member states. Most of the emigrants are men in their 20s with secondary education. The most popular European destination for Hungarians is Germany. The emigration of Hungarians from our country has been continuously decreasing since the mid-2010s, as a result of which we can expect a positive migration balance from 2019. Hungarians were primarily motivated by economic and political reasons to emigrate in the 2010s.

This paper introduces a graphical representation based on the fusion of several disparate standards to instantiate a sensor wrapper and sensing schema for fault delineation in machine tools and other manufacturing assets. Texas A&M researchers have already developed a sensor wrapper that aims to specify the sensor and the sensing suite based on a systematic consideration of the functionality (based on process dynamics) to derive the configuration and instantiation of a viable sensing suite. Adapting this scheme for real-world machines and manufacturing assets is challenging because of the complexity of the machine tool structure and the diversity of faults within its components. The presented graphical representation method is based on an ontological compliance with MTConnect and International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission standards, and the representation employs the graphical motifs pertaining to the fault tree framework. Such representation is essential for the delineation of failure modes associated with components of a machine tool, thereby making sensor-wrappers viable for the smartification of machine tools. The issues pruning the levels of the graphical representation based on the domain knowledge of the machine tool, and the many-to-many mapping between the components and sensors are discussed. The representation was applied in order to derive suitable sensing schemes for conventional machine tools, i.e., lathe and milling machines and a modern hybrid additive manufacturing machine.
The Effect of COVID-Focused Expressive Writing on Symptoms of Depression, Anxiety, and Distress in College Students: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Robertson Sarah M. C. , Short Stephen D. , Auger Liz , Murray Mari
Published: June 2023

Objective: The coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been associated with increased levels of distress for college students. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of a COVID-focused expressive writing intervention in reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and distress. Methods: A total of 169 college students were assigned either to a COVID-focused expressive writing intervention or to a nonwriting control group. All participants completed a 1-month follow-up assessment, and all study procedures were completed online due to COVID-19 restrictions. Depression was measured with the Beck Depression Inventory-II, anxiety was measured with the Beck Anxiety Inventory, and distress was measured with a Likert-scale question that measured distress specifically related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: Results indicated that participants in the expressive writing group demonstrated a significant decrease (b = -1.35) in anxiety symptoms whereas participants in the control group did not. None of the participants in either group demonstrated a significant decrease in depression symptoms. Ratings of distress in the expressive writing group were significantly lower (d = -0.51) at the 1-month follow-up when compared to the control group. Discussion: COVID-focused expressive writing is a relatively brief and inexpensive intervention that has been associated with lower symptoms of anxiety and distress in college students. Theoretical implications are discussed.

Virtual Selfobject Presence: Future Orientation in the Treatment of Eating Disorders
Authors: Sharav Ifergan Inbar
Published: June 2023

From a self-psychology perspective, the profound disruption of the will to exist physically and psychically in patients suffering from anorexia can be seen as a primary impairment of the selfobject's capacity to make space for them within itself. Kohut viewed the primary phase of the baby's existence in the mother's mind as its “virtual conception.” On this foundation, the author uses the notion of “virtual selfobject” to understand the impaired will to exist in patients with anorexia and describes how the therapist may embrace a standpoint that creates a space-for-being for the patient, facilitating the reactivation of self needs in the transference. The notion of virtuality thus entails a future perspective, which ostensibly foretells or creates the potential future emergence of the patient's self. This conceptualization and its application are illustrated through a life-restoring therapy with a patient hospitalized with a life-threatening eating disorder.
Radical Freud (Part Two): Freud's Bisexuality Thesis and the Negation of the Oedipus Complex
Authors: Olver Thomas
Published: June 2023

The author focuses on bisexuality in a continued analysis of Freud's radical sexual theory. A close reading of texts from Freud's work, in particular “The Ego and the Id,” demonstrates how Freud puts forward a bisexuality thesis in parallel and as an alternative to his thesis of the Oedipus complex. This bisexuality thesis is premised on the mechanism of object cathexis and identification by which the ego and superego are formed. The textual excavation is extended back to earlier material by Freud and other authors (Trigant Burrow, Isidor Sadger) to reveal the foundational bedrock of the bisexuality thesis in primary identification. This line of investigation boldly confirms not only Freud's view of the fundamental centrality of bisexuality to human sexuality but also its main consequence, which Freud himself implicitly recognizes, namely, the negation of the Oedipus complex. This argument has ramifications for the theory and clinical practice of psychoanalysis.
On the Search for Singularity in Supervision
Authors: Yerushalmi Hanoch
Published: June 2023

A central role of supervision is to help the supervisee develop the self-as-therapist by internalizing analytic theoretical convictions and clinical practices and creating an individualistic professional identity. Supervisors can help this process by viewing some of the supervisees’ narrated therapeutic impasses as manifestations of creative rebellion. This creative rebellion helps them exercise their freedom of choice and become who they are as therapists. The creative rebellion metaphor can sometimes explain disruptions to the therapeutic process without threatening the cohesion of the supervisee's professional self and the integrity of the supervisory process.
Motivational Priorities Reflect Beliefs About God's Attributes
Authors: Nakkawita Emily , Heiphetz Larisa
Published: June 2023

The motive domains of control and truth align with conceptions of God's omnipotence and omniscience, but the link between control-versus truth-dominant motives and God concepts remains unclear. A convergence account predicts a positive association between these variables; a divergence account predicts an inverse association. Furthermore, the causal direction of an association under either account is unknown. To test between these competing accounts, Study 1 investigated whether people with God concepts dominant in control versus truth report motives that are also control- (vs. truth-) dominant. To investigate causality, Study 2 manipulated God concepts and measured motive dominance; Study 3 manipulated motives and measured God concepts. Study 4 replicated Study 1 with methodological enhancements. Collectively, results supported the convergence account, indicating that God concepts influence motive predominance. By integrating motivation and religious cognition research, this work elucidates the relations between beliefs about God's attributes and personal motives.
Extending Perspective Taking to Nonhuman Animals and Artificial Entities
Authors: Ladak Ali , Wilks Matti , Anthis Jacy Reese
Published: June 2023

Perspective taking can have positive effects in a range of intergroup contexts. In two experiments, we tested whether these effects generalize to two yet-to-be-studied nonhuman groups: animals and intelligent artificial entities. We found no overall effects of either taking the perspective of a farmed pig or an artificial entity on moral attitudes, compared to instructions to stay objective and a neutral condition. However, in both studies, mediation analysis indicated that perspective taking positively affected moral attitudes via empathic concern and self-other overlap, supporting two mechanisms well-established in the literature. The lack of overall effects may be partly explained by positive effects of staying objective on moral attitudes that offset the positive effects of perspective taking via empathic concern and self-other overlap. These findings suggest that perspective taking functions differently in the context of nonhuman groups relative to typical intergroup contexts. We consider this an important area for future research.
Possible Mechanisms of SARS-CoV2-Mediated Myocardial Injury
Authors: Yu Bing , Wu Yalin , Song Xiaosu , Liu Gaizhen , Wang Fengqin , Zhang Fenfang , Liang Bin
Published: June 2023

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), has rapidly become a global health emergency. In addition to causing respiratory effects, SARS-CoV-2 can result in cardiac involvement leading to myocardial damage, which is increasingly being explored in the literature. Myocardial injury is an important pathogenic feature of COVID-19. The angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 receptor plays a key role in the pathogenesis of the virus, serving as a “bridge” allowing SARS-CoV-2 to invade the body. However, the exact mechanism underlying how SARS-CoV-2 causes myocardial injury remains unclear. This review summarizes the main possible mechanisms of myocardial injury in patients with COVID-19, including direct myocardial cell injury, microvascular dysfunction, cytokine responses and systemic inflammation, hypoxemia, stress responses, and drug-induced myocardial injury. Understanding of the underlying mechanisms would aid in proper identification and treatment of myocardial injury in patients with COVID-19.
Neuronal Representation of a Working Memory-Based Decision Strategy in the Motor and Prefrontal Cortico-Basal Ganglia Loops
Authors: Yoshizawa Tomohiko , Ito Makoto , Doya Kenji
Published: June 2023

While animal and human decision strategies are typically explained by model-free and model-based reinforcement learning (RL), their choice sequences often follow simple procedures based on working memory (WM) of past actions and rewards. Here, we address how working memory-based choice strategies, such as win-stay-lose-switch (WSLS), are represented in the prefrontal and motor cortico-basal ganglia loops by simultaneous recording of neuronal activities in the dorsomedial striatum (DMS), the dorsolateral striatum (DLS), the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), and the primary motor cortex (M1). In order to compare neuronal representations when rats employ working memory-based strategies, we developed a new task paradigm, a continuous/intermittent choice task, consisting of choice and no-choice trials. While the continuous condition (CC) consisted of only choice trials, in the intermittent condition (IC), a no-choice trial was inserted after each choice trial to disrupt working memory of the previous choice and reward. Behaviors in CC showed high proportions of win-stay and lose-switch choices, which could be regarded as “a noisy WSLS strategy.” Poisson regression of neural spikes revealed encoding specifically in CC of the previous action and reward before action choice and prospective coding of WSLS action during action execution. A striking finding was that the DLS and M1 in the motor cortico-basal ganglia loop carry substantial WM information about previous choices, rewards, and their interactions, in addition to current action coding.
In the Conceptual Twilight Zone: Federation, Empire, and the Description of Large-Scale Orders
Authors: Hausteiner Eva M.
Published: June 2023

Both empire and federation are deeply contested concepts. The difficulties surrounding the competing notions of “empire” or “federation” can be rooted in their respective heuristic strengths and weaknesses, but also in their political uses. In analyzing these concepts, recent scholarship has mostly neglected the relationship between empire and federation. Should the two be used as compatible concepts, as complementary categories, or as fundamentally competing frameworks? What implications do these conceptual options have for the larger endeavor of a description of transnational politics? This article systematically addresses this tension through an argument on how intellectual and conceptual histories can contribute to approaching this complicated relationship. As the article argues, overlaps and hybridities between empire and federation can be grasped plausibly by analyzing these polities not only through their institutional features but also as discursive constellations. Through such a lens, it becomes clear why modern politics is populated by numerous political orders both federal and imperial.
Jatropha curcas: una opción para el desarrollo sostenible en el ejido Cinco de Febrero, Champotón, Campeche, México
Authors: Haaz Chan Edgar Samuel , Sepúlveda González Ibis Hortensia Mirella
Published: June 2023

En el ejido Cinco de Febrero, Champotón, Campeche, se realizaron trabajos de transferencia de tecnología con Jatropha curcas L., variedad “Doña Fernanda”, para valorar su factibilidad como opción para el desarrollo rural, respetando la cultura de la milpa, bajo un sistema agrosilvopastoril. Se entrevistó a los interesados en el proyecto y con estos datos se describieron las condiciones socioeconómicas y agropecuarias del ejido. Se establecieron dos plantaciones muestra para realizar las observaciones técnicas pertinentes del cultivo. En ellas, se notó la pronta adaptación de la planta. En el 2018, a un año del trasplante en campo, la J. curcas tuvo una aceptable producción de fruto, pero, dos años después, en el 2020 y 2021, la producción de fruto fue nula. Ante la necesidad de más tiempo para obtener resultados concluyentes sobre este comportamiento, el desinterés de los campesinos y la falta de un equipo permanente in situ, la investigación se quedó en esta fase. Se hipotetiza que el cultivo de J. curcas “Doña Fernanda” sí puede ser una opción para el desarrollo rural sustentable, siempre y cuando permanezcan condiciones climáticas adecuadas y existan procesos continuos tanto para organizar como para promover el fortalecimiento de las comunidades.
Conexiones matemáticas asociadas al concepto de ecuación cuadrática que establecen futuros profesores mexicanos de matemáticas
Authors: Hernández-Yañez Magali Edaena , García-García Javier , Campo-Meneses Karen Gisel
Published: June 2023

[Objetivo] Esta investigación plantea como objetivo identificar las conexiones matemáticas que establecen futuros profesores sobre el concepto de ecuación cuadrática. [Metodología] Se empleó la técnica de entrevista de grupo focal para recolectar información. Esta consistió en la aplicación de cinco tareas a ocho futuros profesores que se encontraban cursando la Licenciatura en Matemática, área Matemática Educativa. Los participantes son de la ciudad de Chilpancingo del estado de Guerrero en México y sus edades oscilaban entre 21 y 23 años. Debido a la pandemia causada por el COVID-19, las cuatro sesiones grupales se realizaron de manera virtual con una duración de 80 minutos cada una. Se utilizó el análisis temático para examinar los datos recabados. [Resultados] Las producciones escritas y verbales de los futuros profesores indicaron que cada uno usó de forma variada las conexiones matemáticas. De manera general, las de más frecuencia fueron procedimental, características y significado; con menor frecuencia, parte-todo, modelado e implicación. Dichas conexiones corresponden a las contempladas en el marco teórico, por lo que se puede argumentar que este resulta válido y pertinente para explorar las conexiones matemáticas en futuros profesores, al resolver tareas matemáticas. [Conclusiones] Los participantes dieron significado al concepto de ecuación cuadrática en cuanto a lo que significa en contextos reales y lograron representar la función cuadrática de diversas formas, en el registro algebraico y gráfico. Sin embargo, la mayoría no estableció todas las conexiones matemáticas previstas.
RTVE’s transmedia strategy aimed at young audiences: the case of Playz (2017-2020)
Authors: Eguzkitza-Mestraitua Gaizka , Casado-del-Río Miguel-Ángel , Guimerá-i-Orts Josep-Àngel
Published: June 2023

Generally speaking, audio-visual consumption is changing. More specifically, in recent years young people have increased their viewing of content through the Internet, which is often supplied through online platforms. This article focuses on one the Playz platform, which is one of the key strategies being used by Spanish public television (RTVE), as it aims to reconnect with the new generations through transmedia narratives. Based on studies undertaken by Costa Sánchez (2013) and Cascajosa-Virino (2018), a content analysis of the series broadcast on Playz between 2017 and 2020 has been carried out, taking into account the duration, year of release, and number of episodes or seasons for each of them. This study confirms a clear interest by this platform in generating products that are innovative from their very conception. In fact, a large number of transmedia strategies have been identified, such as episodes turned into films, a high degree of interactivity with the audience, original music videos, promotional events and more, which is in line with Playz’s public service obligation to reach out to all types of audiences through all the platforms available to them.
The science of bridging differences and the dialogic transformation of conflict: a case study from «This is Us»
Authors: Cannon Clare-Elizabeth
Published: June 2023

In a climate of increasing social and political polarisation, there is much interest in dialogue and bridging differences. This article investigates the dramatisation of dialogic conflict resolution, examining how the psychological science of bridging differences can be utilised to create realistic and emotionally engaging narratives that highlight the transformative impact of dialogue on character development and relational dynamics. Relational conflicts have long been recognised as possible catalysts for character transformation, and complex narratives (Mittell, 2015) are particularly appropriate for a nuanced representation of characters’ psychological experiences throughout the process. This study draws upon extensive psychological and communication research on bridging differences compiled by Shigeoka et al. (2020) and UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center (2021). It reorganises this research into a horizontal timeline of behaviours, highlighting their practical application during the conflict resolution process. It then makes a cognitive poetics analysis of how these behaviours may be observed in a case study of relational conflict from the complex television series This is Us (NBC, 2016-2022). By observing the impact these behaviours have on the transformation of characters, the study explores how credible dialogic relational conflicts can lead to verisimilar character transformation on screen. In addition, it considers how an artistic interpretation of the science of bridging differences can contribute to our understanding of dialogue in practice.

El objeto del artículo es estudiar cómo influye la nueva organización de la Curia Romana, establecida por la Constitución Apostólica Praedicate Evangelium, en el modo de ejercer el gobierno central de la Iglesia. El trabajo pretende reflexionar sobre el tema desde el punto de vista jurídico y, para eso, toma en consideración, en primer lugar, la existencia y el alcance del derecho fundamental de los fieles al buen gobierno. Después se identifican los principios de la reforma que pueden influir sobre el buen gobierno. Por último se examina la distribución de las funciones de gobierno (legislativa, judicial y administrativa) dentro de la Curia Romana y se analiza su ejercicio teniendo en cuenta en todo momento el derecho fundamental al buen gobierno.

Plasmar el derecho mediante compliance. Otra forma de defender la «humanidad» del sistema penal
Authors: Palavera Rosa-María-Emilia
Published: June 2023

La contribución toma como punto de partida las obligaciones que pueden surgir para los organismos eclesiásticos en el sistema italiano de responsabilidad administrativa por delitos en virtud del decreto legislativo 231/01, enmarcando las acciones requeridas en el horizonte más amplio de la actual intensificación del compromiso de la Iglesia con una renovada centralidad de la persona humana en los sistemas jurídicos seculares y, en particular, en el derecho penal. La reflexión pretende poner de manifiesto –con un alcance general, aunque en las especificidades de los distintos ámbitos– la necesidad de que los destinatarios de las normas desarrollen un mayor grado de conciencia de su función reguladora y la aptitud para una interlocución más eficaz: para que la cooperación entre el derecho estatal y la autorregulación privada no se traduzca en una mera infiltración de sanciones y enfoques defensivos/sancionadores en la vida cotidiana de las personas de diversa condición implicadas en las actividades de las entidades.
«Ius commune», justicia y bien común: un legado para la tradición jurídica occidental
Authors: Condorelli Orazio
Published: June 2023

La tradición del ius commune civil y canónico ha conservado la idea de una ley supralegal (ius divinum, ius naturale) que es condición de validez de la ley (lex) y compromete la responsabilidad humana en la búsqueda del bien común. En la percepción actual, la distinción entre ius y lex es olvidada con frecuencia, cuando no conscientemente rechazada. Hoy, la recuperación de un enfoque que ha forjado la civilización jurídica occidental puede contribuir a la construcción del bien común a través del diálogo político en las sociedades democráticas.

ЕКСПЕРТИЗА ЗРАЗКІВ МЕДУ КВІТКОВОГО ТА ВИВЧЕННЯ УМОВ ЙОГО СТАБІЛІЗАЦІЇ
Authors: Малинка Олена Валентинівна , Антіпіна Олена Олексіївна , Деречіна Анастасія Володимирівна
Published: June 2023

Робота присвячена проведенню харчової експертизи зразків меду квіткового фірми ТОВ «Інкеа», а також розробці методу його стабілізації. Проведений органолептичний аналіз досліджуваних зразків, визначені фізико-хімічні показники зразків меду: масова частка води, масова частка відновлювальних цукрів, вміст гідроксиметилфурфуролу, коефіцієнт пропускання, кислотність, діастазне число, та показники безпеки (а саме: вміст пестицидів – масова частка гексахлорану (суми ізомерів), ДДТ (суми ізомерів)), встановлена відповідність аналізованих зразків ДСТУ 4497:2005 і відповідному ґатунку, показана можливість використання трегалози в кількості 1,3 %, яка запобігає кристалізації меду, не впливаючи на його хімічний склад і органолептичні показники. Значення параметрів, на які впливав процес кристалізації, показали відмінності між двома партіями зразків з додаванням трегалози та без неї: величина коефіцієнта пропускання знижувалась з часом у контрольних зразках, в зразках з додаванням трегалози – ні. Масова частка води у контрольних зразках протягом 2 місяців не змінилась, в зразках з додаванням трегалози – теж. Кислотність контрольних зразків гречаного меду залишалася постійною і становила 23 мекв/кг, тоді як у липовому меді вона зросла з 21,0 до 21,6 мекв/кг, у соняшниковому – з 16,1 до 17,4 мекв/кг, у поліфлорному меді – з 22,0 до 22,8 мекв/кг. Кислотність зразків з додаванням трегалози залишалася постійною в усіх асортиментах меду. Вміст гідроксиметилурфуролу підвищувався в усіх контрольних зразках: з 7,89 до 7,95 мг/кг у липовому, з 7,87 до 8,01 мг/кг у гречаному, з 15,69 до 16,03 мг/кг у поліфлорному меді та з 0,23 до 0,29 мг/кг у соняшниковому. Вміст гідроксиметилурфуролу та діастазна активність у зразках з додаванням трегалози залишалися незмінними в усіх асортиментах меду. Таким чином, знайдена концентрація трегалози, яка призводить до стабілізації зразків меду квіткового фірми ТОВ «Інкеа».
“I need these credentials”: Black and Latino Men Navigate Oppression and Privilege as a Part of their Community College Educational Landing Spaces
Authors: Camacho Jr. Lazaro , Elliott Kayla C. , Salinas Jr. Cristobal
Published: June 2023

Using the crossover capital framework (Salinas, 2015), this study situated the lived experiences of 12 Black and Latino men community college students across multiple places and spaces, with each space having the potential to oppress and/or privilege the individual. This qualitative phenomenological study revealed that participants actively pursued opportunities to navigate new environments that would potentially privilege them in ways that their home environments would or could not. This paper provides implications for practice and research to advance support for Black and Latino men community college students to navigate their sense of identity in various educational landing spaces via the value they place on access to resources and relationships.
Computational Modelling of Quantifier Use: Corpus, Models, and Evaluation
Authors: Chen Guanyi , Van Deemter Kees
Published: June 2023

A prominent strand of work in formal semantics investigates the ways in which human languages quantify the elements of a set, as when we say All A are B, Few A are B, and so on. Building on a growing body of empirical studies that shed light on the meaning and the use of quantifiers, we extend this line of work by computationally modelling how human speakers textually describe complex scenes in which quantitative relations play an important role. To this end, we conduct a series of elicitation experiments in which human speakers were asked to perform a linguistic task that invites the use of quantified expressions. The experiments result in a corpus, called QTUNA, made up of short texts that contain a large variety of quantified expressions. We analyse QTUNA, summarise our findings, and explain how we design computational models of human quantifier use accordingly. Finally, we evaluate these models in accordance with QTUNA.
Dificultades de los docentes en la formulación de preguntas de comprensión crítica de textos expositivos
Authors: Zárate Pérez Adolfo
Published: June 2023

El objetivo de este trabajo es describir las dificultades que experimentan los docentes de educación secundaria en la formulación de preguntas críticas a partir de un texto expositivo. Para ello, se utilizó una encuesta, en la que se solicitó formular dos preguntas de reflexión crítica a 212 docentes peruanos del área curricular de Comunicación, de segundo grado de educación secundaria. Esta muestra tiene representatividad nacional. A partir de las respuestas de los docentes, se construyó un corpus de 404 preguntas “críticas”. Este corpus se analizó desde una perspectiva pedagógica (funcionalidad, pertinencia y claridad), siguiendo una metodología descriptiva-interpretativa con el propósito de caracterizar las habilidades metacomprensivas que están en la base de las preguntas formuladas. Los resultados muestran varias dificultades en la formulación de preguntas críticas. Entre las más frecuentes están: la presencia de preguntas extratextuales que pueden responderse sin la necesidad de leer el texto, la indiferenciación de lo crítico respecto de lo inferencial y lo literal, la carencia de un propósito u objetivo que persigue la pregunta, la formulación de preguntas sobre la base de errores de comprensión del texto, la formulación de dos o más preguntas incluidas en una, preguntas con marcas de orientación, entre otras.
A mithridatészi háborúk hadi eseményei és a terepi adottságok kapcsolata
Authors: Szilágyi József
Published: June 2023

A tanulmány ókori források segítségével a mithridatészi háborúk nagy csatáit elemzi időrendben. A szerző vizsgálatának sajátos szempontja, hogy a terepi adottságok milyen hatást gyakoroltak a végkifejletre. A szerző több példán keresztül bemutatja, hogy az óriási létszámfölény korántsem jelentett győzelmet, hiszen a terep felderítésénekhiánya és a domborzati, vízrajzi adottságok figyelmen kívül hagyása végzeteshibának számított már az ókorban is.
Srebrenica vallási-etnikai elemzése a szlávok érkezésétől napjainkig
Authors: Fülöp Dóra
Published: June 2023

A kelet-boszniai település neve mára egybeforrt az 1995-ben, több mint 8000 muszlimférfi és fiú ellen elkövetett népirtás tényével. Az etnikai tisztogatásról, az ENSZ békefenntartóinak felelősségén keresztül a megbocsátás lélektanáig számtalan, a témához kapcsolódó publikáció született már a Jugoszlávia szétesését követő boszniai háborúegyik legmegrázóbb eseményéről. Jelen tanulmány célja a város demográfiai, politikai és vallás-etnikai elemzése, a történelmi háttér ismertetése és a település lehetőségeinek vizsgálata a bosznia-hercegovinai politikai struktúra figyelembevételével.
A NATO új stratégai koncepciójának logisztikai kihívásai
Authors: Pályi József
Published: June 2023

június 29-én a madridi NATO-csúcstalálkozón a nemzetek állam- és kormányfői elfogadták a NATO új stratégiai koncepcióját. Az előző stratégiai elgondolás 2010-eselfogadása óta eltelt 12 évben geopolitikai értelemben is jelentős változások mentek végbe a biztonsági környezetben. Ez egy újabb stratégiai koncepció kidolgozását és elfogadását kényszerítette ki, amelynek tartalma meghatározza a következő évtizedre a szövetség céljait, működésének jellegét, rögzíti alapvető feladatait a védelem területén. Útjelző táblaként kijelöli a szervezet fejlődésének irányát, megalapozza a tagországokvédelmi szektorainak működési, fejlesztési és védelmi alapelveit. Célja a biztonságikörnyezet változásaihoz való folyamatos alkalmazkodóképesség fenntartása, miközben diplomatikusan nem ellenséget, csak versenytársakat említ. Kidolgozásának alapját a NATO 2030: Együtt egy új korszakért című tanulmány szolgáltatta. Az új stratégiaikoncepció a Szövetség tagjaként befolyásolja a haderönk jövőjét, meghatározza a műveleti követelményeket, a kiképzés rendjét, a szövetségi hozzájárulás módjait, valamint a haditechnikai eszközök fejlesztési irányait. Ez a Honvédelmi és Haderőfejlesztési Program miatt Magyarországon kiemelten fontos stratégiai terület. A tanulmányban a logisztikai támogatásra szűkítem a stratégiai koncepció elemeinek elemzését, célom a szakterülethez kapcsolódó kihívások azonosítása.
