Discriminación, interseccionalidad y enfoque integral en el acceso a la justicia: el asunto B. S. contra España (TEDH 24 de julio de 2012)
Authors: García Añón José
Published: November 2024

En el asunto B. S. v. España (TEDH, 2012) encontramos algunas características de una concepción amplia e integral del concepto de acceso a la justicia. Por una parte, con el tema de la prueba de las situaciones de discriminación a través de la interpretación y la argumentación. En segundo lugar, la inclusión de actores con intereses de carácter público e indirecto en el proceso. En tercer lugar, la utilización de instrumentos, como el litigio estratégico, que sirven para avanzar en la toma de decisiones que se encuentran dentro del espectro ordinario de la justicia. Por último, se prestará atención, a través de aspectos procedimentales, a una concepción amplia de acceso a la justicia al justificarse la inversión de la carga de la prueba y la obligación de una investigación oficial efectiva como presupuestos esenciales en estos casos.

AIM: The aim of the study was to analyze whether COVID-19 cause a delay in the diagnosis of gastric cancer patients particularly in the TNM staging of the tumor, or not.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: This retrospective single-center study included the patients diagnosed with gastric cancer from March, 2019 to December 2020. The patients were divided into two groups: baseline and the pandemic groups. The following parameters were compared between the groups; demographic data, numbers of newly diagnosed patients, type of the surgery, location of the tumor, frequency of neoadjuvant treatment, ASA score, length of hospital stay, clinical staging and pathologic TNM staging.
RESULTS: The mean monthly number of newly diagnosed gastric cancer patients showed a significant decline from 7.5 to 5.6 (p< .001). There were no statistically significant differences between the groups with regard to the demographic factors, except CA 19-9 levels. Patients in the pandemic group had higher both clinical and pathological T-stages (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed a decline in the number of the newly diagnosed patients with gastric cancer during the pandemic and also more patients presented with advanced stage during the pandemic period. This study showed that the pandemic causes a potential delay in the diagnosis of gastric cancer patients.

Published: November 2024

The study sought to determine the current learning experiences and conditions of B’laan tribe and identify factors associated with human capital development for B’laan tribe. Qualitative approaches were utilized in the first phase of the study. Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and Key Informant Interviews (KII) were conducted to selected participants coming from the B’laan tribal chieftain (Fulong), representative from Barangay Council, representative from the Non-Government Organizations, and ordinary B’laan people from the community. Moreover, quantitative approaches were also used in this study in order to determine the factors derived from the qualitative data. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to establish the factors. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using latent curve analysis of structural equation modeling was also utilized to confirm the validity of these dimensions as determinants of human capital development framework for B’laan tribe. The analysis uncovered a robust framework for human capital development for the B’laan tribe in education, noted with good fit indices. Further, model trimming exposed that two significant factors persist, hence appreciating that certain types of education like contextualized education and eco-based education are quite critical, yet not all that the B’laan desire. Results revealed themes centering on the current learning experiences and conditions of B’laan tribe through the curriculum implemented by the Department of Education is not culture sensitive. Peace and security were one of the factors that impeded education. The EFA revealed dimensions linked to human capital development framework for B’laan tribe which included free education, community resource- based education, contextualize-based education, human security-based education, right-based education, voice-based education, culture-based education, indigenous knowledge-based education, eco-based education, and sustainable education. All these factors were confirmed by CFA to constitute a valid framework of human capital development for B’laan tribe in the context of education.

Published: November 2024

This study aims to describe the influence of the Gunung Botak gold mine on behavioral changes and identify the factors driving socio-economic shifts within the community of Dava Village, Buru Regency. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with purposive sampling used to select informants based on predetermined criteria aligned with the research objectives. Data collection was carried out through observations, interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed through stages of reduction, presentation, verification, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal significant social and economic impacts of the mining activities. Socially, the mine has disrupted social structures, triggering tension and conflict due to shifts in roles and inequitable distribution of mining benefits. These changes have led to polarization, distrust, altered communication patterns, and increased violence and aggression. Economically, many residents have shifted their livelihoods to mining, resulting in higher incomes that influence consumption patterns, lifestyle changes, and the emergence of new social status symbols. Several factors contribute to these socio-economic changes, including economic pressures from the mine, migration and urbanization, environmental impacts, and cultural and value shifts. Collectively, these factors reflect a complex and multidimensional socio-economic phenomenon caused by the presence of the gold mine.
Investigating the Semantic Relations of Journalistic and Media Terminology in the Persian Language
Authors: Kazem Najlaa Ismael Mohammed
Published: November 2024

In this research, analysed and described the journalistic and media terms in terms of semantic fields and then, mentioned the various types of relations existing between them in each field. Because in the last decade, the investigation of semantic relation between various vocabularies has attracted much interest among many linguist. The area of research is still very unexplored and there is high difficulty in analyzing semantic fields and extracting the relation between words. For this reason,this study examined . This research is divided into two parts as follows:In the first topic,  analyzed the sematic relations of the journalists’ terminology as its semantic field, and the meaning of putting different terms into a semantic field and then getting the relations between the terms (synonymy, antonymy, hyponymy, incompatibility and meronymy). However, in the second topic, selected media terminology and likewise put each set of those terms in their respective semantic domain, and then defined the semantic link between one set and another. Last but not the least, the purpose of this study is to learn new terms for each field as well as to assist the journalists and media translators and Persian language learners to be familiar with these terms
Measuring the Impact of oil Revenues on Monetary Policy Tools in Iraq for the Period (2003-2023)
Authors: Kharief Nacer , Alharbi Mazin
Published: November 2024

Monetary policy is the axis around which various economic policies revolve, despite their different intellectual approaches, due to its direct impact that overlaps with all economic aspects of society. Monetary policy gains its strength from controlling money, as the latter is the axis in employing specific resources to satisfy scarce needs, meaning that money is the essence of the economy, and other economic concepts are only reflections of it. Production is money that depends on the interaction of desire with ability, saving is money, investment is money, and even economic problems are money. Poverty is nothing but its scarcity, wealth is nothing but its abundance, and the absence of justice is nothing but its absence in distribution. However, this straight direction of monetary policy is exposed to many challenges that reflect a trend from a means of achieving economic prosperity to a tool for deepening economic backwardness, and the reflection of rentier behavior is one of them, and even the most important in particular. Therefore, to create a clear picture of the adverse impact of oil rents, we must stop at the station of rentier effects on quantitative tools, to know the level of influence or not, so that this standard model is the basic starting point for moving towards developing quantitative tools for monetary policy in the Iraqi economy after describing the levels of rentier reflection on the indirect tools of monetary policy in its two aspects, the general aggregate and the specialized detailed.

Authors: Chun Yeajun , Kim Ian
Published: November 2024

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of nature-based solutions (NBS) as carbon sinks by estimating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and absorption through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The study focused on a designated area within the Han Gang River water source management region, calculating GHG emissions and absorption during the implementation of NbS, and deriving the carbon payback period. The results indicate that a total of 5.71 tCO2 of GHGs were emitted during the NBS implementation process, and 150.58 tCO2 were absorbed by 2050. The carbon payback period was estimated to be approximately three years. This research highlights the importance of considering GHG emissions during the NBS implementation process to enhance its effectiveness and suggests the need for further studies for more accurate carbon balance assessments.
AI in Education: Benefits and Concerns
Authors: Dulundu Alp
Published: November 2024

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly transformed numerous industries, with education emerging as one of the most impacted fields. The global AI market, valued at $196.63 billion in 2023, is projected to expand significantly, reflecting the growing adoption of AI technologies. In education, AI-driven tools such as personalized learning platforms, automated grading systems, and accessibility-enhancing technologies are revolutionizing teaching and learning experiences. These advancements align with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) by promoting inclusive, high-quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all. Examples like Duolingo, CoGrader, and the BBC’s AI investments demonstrate how technology is reshaping education to better engage students and improve outcomes. However, the integration of AI raises critical concerns about algorithmic bias, ethical decision-making, and data privacy. While AI can reduce human bias and improve efficiency, it risks perpetuating disparities if training data lacks diversity. Additionally, reliance on large datasets demands stringent data security measures to protect student privacy. Addressing these challenges requires collaboration among educators, policymakers, and developers to ensure AI is used responsibly. This paper examines the transformative potential of AI in education while emphasizing the need for ethical oversight and equity. Future research must focus on refining AI to meet diverse learning needs without compromising inclusivity or fairness.

Published: November 2024

Burnout is a state where an individual experiences complete mental, physical and emotional exhaustion. It hinders with day-to-day activities, and therefore results in being resentful and hopeless. Researches have been done to find the level of burnout among school teachers. Moreover, there are also research carried out to find the quality of life of the primary and secondary school teachers. However, there is paucity of research to study the link between the burnout and quality of life of the teachers. The objective of the study is to study the burnout levels and quality of life among primary and secondary school teachers. The anticipated finding of the research is that there will be a significant difference in burnout levels between primary and secondary school teachers. Moreover, that there will be a significant relationship between burnout and quality of life. Mixed methodology (Questionnaire and Interviews) will be used for the research. For questionnaire, Maslach Burnout Inventory (Educator’s Survey), Quality of Life Inventory, and consent forms, will be used. This study will help in bridging the gap between the burnout and quality of life among primary and secondary school teachers and may help as an eye-opener for the educators and academicians to improve on teacher’s quality of life and can help them to work on reducing their burnout levels
The fundraising turnover epidemic: An evaluative holistic model
Authors: Cairney Karen , Gray Bukky
Published: November 2024

Demand for fundraising professionals across the advancement sector globally is increasing, leading to a war for talent. This is fuelled by the great resignation, where people are reassessing their priorities (work—life balance), and post-pandemic reflection (current job alignment with long-term goals and values). In addition, opportunities for career development, remote working and location flexibility are increasing. Burnout, stress and cultural and generational influences also impact the need to reassess the attraction and retention of fundraising professionals. It is widely known that the turnover rate in the sector is high, with the average tenure of a fundraiser being between 18 and 24 months. Other research suggests even less at 16 months, citing that ‘fundraising turnover is an epidemic’.1 This paper shares research findings from a survey conducted globally with 52 fundraising/advancement professionals, seeking to answer two questions:• What are the key motivational factors that both attract and retain fundraisers?• Do these motivational factors change through the career life cycle?The paper was inspired following a session at the Council for Advancement and Support of Education, European Annual Conference in August 2023, where the co-authors presented on the topic ‘Unleashing the power of your people: attracting, retaining and maximising the potential of your diverse talent pool’. This paper also shares reflections from two of the other panellists from the conference, both fundraising professionals, on their experiences in retaining fundraisers in their teams: Liz Reilly, former Director of Philanthropy & Donor Relations, University of Edinburgh, and Juan-Pablo Garrido, Director of Development, UIC Barcelona. The paper includes supporting insights from research undertaken by the co-authors on motivational theories and their application to the survey results. The paper provides insights on taking a different approach to retention, presenting a framework model that can be applied and one that seeks to be more transformational for the individual and organisation.  Although this research is specifically focused on one of the advancement professions — fundraising — it could be applied to talent management within broader advancement and further tested to see if the hypothesis in the model has a broader application.

Authors: Dela Peña Himeji-Ken , Galigao Regina
Published: November 2024

Intergenerational mobility and equality of opportunity are essential for achieving inclusive and sustainable economic growth. However, disparities in education access, quality, and outcomes persist, hindering social mobility and perpetuating inequality. This study employs data mining techniques to investigate the role of economics of education in promoting intergenerational mobility and equality of opportunity. Our findings highlight the importance of addressing these disparities through targeted policies and interventions. Investing in teacher training, technology access, and parental education initiatives can enhance education outcomes and intergenerational mobility. Implementing inclusive and equitable education policies, such as need-based scholarships and affirmative action programs, can promote equal opportunities for marginalized groups. The economics of education plays a vital role in shaping individual and societal outcomes. Education expenditure, access, and quality significantly influence human capital development, labor market outcomes, and social mobility. However, inequities in education systems and policies exacerbate existing socioeconomic disparities, limiting opportunities for marginalized groups.
ANÁLISE DA RESPONSABILIDADE CIVIL ACERCA DE COBRANÇAS INDEVIDAS NAS RELAÇÕES DE CONSUMO
Authors: Ribeiro Lucas Torrez
Published: November 2024

The article has social and academic relevance, as it proposes a perspective of discussion about Law, as a normative science, which seeks and generates effectiveness in social pacification. The attainment of social peace depends primarily on the disincentive provided to individuals who do not exercise self-protection in exchange for those who can potentially cause them harm. In this sense, the research aims to analyze the civil liability regarding undue charges in daily consumer relations, in addition to demonstrating how the jurisprudence, in attention to the State of Amazonas, has positioned itself in relation to the theme, seeking to identify the main causes that may give rise to the charges, as well as to demonstrate the methods and auxiliary tools so that solutions can be found in order to inhibit and reduce the damage caused Consumers. The stage of development of scientific knowledge on the subject is under the aspect of seeking the identification of the best response of the State to the analysis of civil liability arising from accidents in consumer relations. In this case, the main line applied will be to analyze the role of jurisprudence and pondering its limitations and ensuring efficiency in the solutions. Therefore, the research method used will be through the study of legislation, bibliography and doctrine for a better range of results.

Published: November 2024

INTRODUCTION: Skin aging results from intrinsic and extrinsic processes, manifesting itself in characteristics such as wrinkles and loss of firmness. Retinol, a form of vitamin A, plays a crucial role in skin health but can cause irritation, limiting skin acceptance. This study investigates the benefits of retinol in treating aging, including its effectiveness, dosage forms and interactions with other substances. METHODOLOGY: A systematic search was conducted, in accordance with PRISMA guidelines, using the PubMed and VHL databases until August 2024. The search was based on descriptors in English, such as “Retinol AND AntiAging”, applying exclusion criteria to limit the scope to relevant studies. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The search identified 128 studies, of which 13 met the eligibility criteria. Topical application of retinol has been shown to be effective in modulating the molecular biology of the skin, with a lower incidence of side effects compared to more potent retinoids. Studies have also indicated that combining retinol with massage techniques and new formulations, such as cyclodextrin encapsulation, improves its effectiveness and reduces irritation. Additionally, interactions with substances such as niacinamide and bakuchiol enhance anti-aging results. CONCLUSION: Topical use of retinol is a safe and effective approach to skin aging, offering significant benefits and reduced irritation. Its combinations with other substances and modern technologies promise innovative solutions for skin care.
DANO MORAL IN RE IPSA E RESPONSABILIDADE CIVIL SEM DANO
Authors: Bagetto André Toledo
Published: November 2024

Este trabalho investiga o dano moral in re ipsa e a responsabilidade civil sem dano, conceitos  emergentes no Direito Civil brasileiro que desafiam os paradigmas tradicionais de comprovação  e reparação de danos. Por meio de uma revisão de literatura abrangente, analisa-se a  aplicabilidade dessas teorias na prática e teoria jurídica, destacando suas potencialidades e  limitações. O dano moral in re ipsa é explorado como um mecanismo que presume o dano pela  natureza do ato ilícito, eliminando a necessidade de prova do prejuízo emocional ou moral, o  que simplifica o processo para as vítimas de violações de direitos. Por outro lado, a  responsabilidade civil sem dano é discutida como uma abordagem inovadora que permite a  imposição de responsabilidades por atos que, embora não resultem em dano concreto,  apresentam risco significativo ou violação potencial de direitos. Conclui-se que essas  abordagens representam um avanço significativo no direito brasileiro, promovendo uma justiça  mais eficiente e acessível, em linha com as dinâmicas sociais contemporâneas.

Complicated community-acquired pneumonia (CACP) results from localized complications - pleural effusion and/or empyema, necrotizing pneumonia or lung abscess - or systemic complications. A British report states that 3% of pneumonias in children progress to CACP. Diagnosis requires imaging tests - chest X-ray (X-ray), chest ultrasound (USG) and chest tomography (CT). Treatment is based on empirical antibiotic therapy, with Streptococcus pneumoniae (SP) as the most frequent agent. The objective of the study is to identify patients treated at the Pediatric Emergency Room of the Taguatinga Regional Hospital (HRT), Federal District, diagnosed with CACP between March 1, 2022 and March 1, 2024. The total sample consisted of 51 patients with CACP. It can be inferred that the profile of patients is healthy, male children under five years of age. The characteristic symptoms - cough, tachypnea and fever - were present in most cases at admission. Persistent fever beyond 48-72h after the start of treatment or its reappearance after an afebrile period, persistent and/or onset of tachypnea and/or cough, decreased and/or abolished breath soun ds on auscultation and hypoxemia provided the most frequent clinical pattern of evolution. Chest X-ray was the most frequently performed imaging exam, with the predominant radiological presentation being isolated consolidation and radiological signs of the complications presented. Two cases with PS as the etiological agent were identified. The therapeutic definition was variable and the outcome was favorable in all cases. The clinical and radiological profile of the patients was compatible with the data in the literature. However, there is a lack of strategies regarding uniform management of the institution for the care of patients with CCAP.

Homeless women become more vulnerable because they live in a context permeated by prejudice, violence, gender inequality and social rights. These women face physical and sexual violence on a daily basis, mainly from their partners, and the lack of connection with health professionals makes it difficult for them to seek help. They also face prejudice in the reception and difficulty in establishing a connection with professionals in health units. The objective of this study was to understand and analyze the reasons that lead homeless women to not seek health services other than the Street Clinic. This was a qualitative, descriptive study, conducted through semi-structured interviews with women living on the streets, served by the Street Clinic. All participants signed a Free and Informed Consent Form. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was only possible to interview 3 women. These women are 36, 43 and 57 years old and have been homeless for varying lengths of time. After analyzing the interviews, it is clear that women who leave home to live on the streets have family problems, lack of emotional bonds and, therefore, most of them start using psychoactive substances. The violence they suffer on the streets, whether psychological, physical or sexual, appears in 100% of the statements. Regarding health issues, they do not usually seek medical care, except in cases of great need or urgency, since when they do seek this care they are discriminated against and poorly treated by health teams. It is clear that most of the time they prefer to seek care at the Street Clinic due to the differentiated care and the care with which the team treats them. Therefore, it is recommended that nurses learn more about the homeless population and leave their prejudices aside to provide better care for this population.
DESEMPENHO DA PRODUTIVIDADE DE MILHO A PARTIR DE APLICAÇÃO DE FUNGICIDA EM DIFERENTES ESTÁGIOS FENOLÓGICOS

Corn (Zea mays L.) is a crucial crop in terms of global production and economic value, but it is susceptible to fungal diseases such as common rust (Puccinia sorghi) and cercosporiosis (Cercospora zeae-maydis), which can reduce grain production and quality. Effective control of these diseases is vital for food security and agricultural economy. Proper management of corn fungal diseases depends on the plant's phenological stages, from planting to grain maturity. The application of fungicides at strategic moments during the plant's life cycle is essential to prevent infections and reduce disease impact. A study conducted in Patos de Minas, Minas Gerais, during 2023, evaluated the effect of fungicide application at different phenological stages of corn on final productivity. The results showed that fungicide application at multiple phenological stages (V4, V8, and VT) resulted in greater above-ground height, lower severity of fungal diseases, higher productivity, and uniform stalk diameter compared to the control treatment. This integrated disease management method proved effective in protecting plants against fungal diseases, promoting healthier and more vigorous growth, and increasing final corn productivity. These findings highlight the importance of fungicide application at strategic moments in the corn development cycle to maximize productivity and promote more efficient and sustainable agriculture.

Oroantral communication (OAC) is a frequent complication in dental procedures, especially in extractions of upper posterior teeth due to the anatomical proximity to the maxillary sinus. This review addresses the main surgical techniques and the use of biomaterials in the treatment of OAC, based on articles published between 2010 and 2024, found in databases such as PubMed and Scielo. Risk factors like the proximity of dental roots to the floor of the maxillary sinus and advanced age increase the likelihood of OAC, with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) being an effective tool in preoperative evaluation. Minimally invasive surgical techniques, such as controlled osteotomy and piezosurgery, have been effective in preventing perforations, while biomaterials like collagen membranes and bone grafts are widely used in treating larger perforations, promoting bone regeneration and healing. The combination of appropriate sutures and biomaterials is essential to avoid postoperative complications such as chronic sinusitis and fistulas. The review concludes that despite advances in surgical techniques and the use of biomaterials, gaps remain in the literature regarding the management of complex perforations, highlighting the need for more comparative studies to optimize OAC treatment. An integrated approach—including preoperative evaluation, appropriate surgical techniques, and postoperative follow-up—is crucial for treatment success and the reduction of long-term complications.

Preparedness of Select Filipino-Chinese Business Successors
Authors: Dio Eric , Chong Jobert
Published: November 2024

This study assessed the preparedness of select business successors among 72 Filipino-Chinese businesses in Bacolod City. A descriptive-relational design was used through survey questionnaires distributed to all members of the Filipino-Chinese business community. Results were generated using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. Based on the findings, it was identified that the successors are prepared to manage the businesses insofar as their business knowledge, skills, and emotional intelligence are concerned. Moreover, most businesses emphasize family philosophies and look up to their predecessors as role models. Furthermore, the most common challenge experienced by successors pertains to family and work-life balance. Lastly, a positive significant relationship between skills and relationship to the predecessor was noted, while there was a negative significant relationship between skills and current involvement in the family business. Hence, it is recommended that the successors continually nurture their relationships with their predecessors and actively participate in business communities to sharpen their skills in business. In addition, the predecessors were advised to gently and gladly entrust the business to their successors, assuring that their instilled values and vision for the family business are wholeheartedly adopted and secured across all future generations. Finally, it is recommended that a similar study be conducted to address other Filipino-Chinese business communities in other cities to provide a wider perspective of the topic.

,,… als ich Kind war, hatten wir das everywhere.” Sprachwechsel als Lern- und Kommunikationsstrategie in einem Tandemgespräch
Authors: Grasz Sabine
Published: November 2024

This article presents findings of a pilot study on how language switch is used in a discussionbetween Finnish and German speaking students. Language switch in L2-interaction has been mostly considered as interference and a communicative deficit. After the Common European Framework of References for Languages highlighted the importance of plurilingual competences, language switch and other plurilingual strategies have been seen more positively as a productive way of reaching a communicative goal. The data analyzed in this article have been derived from a recorded group discussion in a Tandem course. As Tandem includes aspects of both didactic and non-didactic communication, the analysis also intends to find out whether language switch is used primarily as a communication strategy or as a learning strategy. The results illustrate that language switch is widely used in the data, mostly by the participants interacting in the L2 (German) and it mostly occurs when searching for lexical items. Language switches both to L1 (Finnish) and to L3 (English) appear almost to the same extent and they clearly serve communicative and learning purposes.
”Hennes röst blev tonlös när hon började prata svenska”: litterär flerspråkighet och språkväxling
Authors: Landqvist Hans
Published: November 2024

In this paper, I present a study of literary multilingualism and literary code switching (‘LCS’) based on Mikael Niemi’s novel Mannen som dog som en lax (2006) [‘The man who died like a salmon']. The novel is set mainly in Tornedalen, a widely bilingual area in Sweden where many people speak both Meänkieli (a recognized minority language, formerly called ‘Tornedal Finnish’) and Swedish. The sender does not consider himself bilingual and most of the intended recipients are not either, even though linguistic conditions are central to the theme of the novel. Swedish is the main language of the novel, while elements of Meänkieli/Finnish and other languages represent a small fraction of the full text. The novel contains examples of LCS used in attempts to reproduce authentic usage and depict an authentic linguistic setting. In other examples, Tornedalen, the Tornedalians, and Meänkieli/Finnish are depicted more as exotic phenomena compared to the majority society.
”Concepts in Motion” in Perspectival Considerations of the Reality
Authors: Lehtonen Tommi
Published: November 2024

Näkökulman käsite viittaa havaitsemiseen ja kielelliseen ajatteluun, joka koostuu monista tekijöistä. Jotkut näistä tekijöistä liittyvät tarkastelevaan subjektiin, jotkut tarkasteluvälineisiin ja jotkut tarkastelun kohteeseen. Todellisuuden käsitteellinen pohdiskelu ja rakentaminen ovat käsitteellisen ajattelun ”perspektiivistä liikettä”, joka etenee havaitsijaan liittyvistä tekijöistä käsitteellisten välineiden kautta objektiin liittyviin tekijöihin. Tämä on usein edestakainen prosessi, koska näkökulman objektiin liittyvät tekijät voivat vaikuttaa sekä käytetyn käsitteistön valintaan että havaitsijan intresseihin.
Lover, Avenger or Deadly Delusionist? Women Murderers in Contemporary Crime Fiction
Authors: Mäntymäki Tiina
Published: November 2024

Naisten väkivaltaisuus on tabu, mutta populaarissa rikoskirjallisuudessa naisten väkivallan kuvaukset ovat lisääntyneet yhteiskunnallisen muutoksen ja rikoskirjallisuuden kasvaneen yhteiskuntakriittisyyden myötä. Vaikka tutkimuksessa on kiinnitetty huomiota naispuolisen etsivän kuvauksiin, naispuolisen murhaajan toimijuus on jäänyt huomiotta siitä huolimatta, että se on sekä lajityypin muutoksen että feministisen, vallan ja sukupuolen rakentumisen analyysin kannalta keskeinen. Artikkelissa hahmotellaan neljää narratiivia väkivaltaisesta naisesta rikoskirjallisuudessa. Lähtökohtina narratiiveille ovat rikostarinan kolmen peruspilaria (rikos – selvitysprosessi – päätös) murhaajan näkökulmasta. Artikkelissa todetaan, että perinteisettarinarakenteet toimivat toisaalta lajityyppiä ja naisten väkivaltaisuuden diskurssia uudistavina, mutta toisaalta ne pitävät yllä perinteisiä narratiiveja.
Dialekten – ett språk i rörelse. Ett närstudium av Bysockensmålet
Authors: Nilsson Gunvor
Published: November 2024

This paper investigates the dialect of the parish of By, which is in the south east of Dalecarlia (Dalarna). The investigation focuses on the vocabulary, and dialect word knowledge of the younger generation (school children about twelve years old). This article presents four identical dialect studies, the first one from 1980, the second and the third from the late nineties and the last from 2010. According to the results of these studies, the younger generation´s familiarity with dialect words has diminished considerably over the last thirty years. In 2010 only a few of the informants are familiar with the meaning of the dialect words. The investigation shows that this development (the decline of the dialect) ought to be seen from a sociolinguistic and demographic point of view, where we pay attention not only to contact between the generations but also to industrial mobility and increasing migration.
”Wandering between two worlds”: the Deviance of the Jailer’s Daughter
Authors: Porter Gerald
Published: November 2024

Cette étude propose que la métaphore de movement cachée dans la concepte de déviance fonctionne comme un instrument efficace pour analyser les constructions d’identité aussi etniques que sexuelles. La matière comprend un conte orientaliste distribué dans tout l’Europe, d’une jeune fille turkoise qui aide échapper le prisonnier de son père et après plusieurs années voyage pour le trouver et le marier. Comme femme et orientale, elle est doublement déviante, mais sa déviance est refrenée par trois moyens: elle est déplacée (par son voyage), renommée et enfin mariée: les noces doubles constituent l’apogée du conte. Le voyage, le nom et le mariage forment les moyens idéologiques principales pour incorporer et assimiler la déviance à le discours dominant.
