Analysis of Interaction Between Designers and AI Tools in the Digital Context of Visual Design
Authors: Bian Xiangyang , Shi Yimeng
Published: January 2025

Diversity of vision, which is the most complex product of human creativity. The complicated data and information enter the visual space in a diversified form, and the audience can communicate with each other through feeling and perceiving the atmosphere. There is a relationship between the generation and transmission of emotion and the information we receive, and the two complement each other. Modern society is full of digital cues and real-world feedback. In the past, without large-scale industrialization, people only need to interpret the relationship between people and things, but in the current situation, people are gradually independent from space, and the connection between people and artificial intelligence is filled with the whole modern society. Especially as designers, we need to look at the relationship with AI tools from an open mind, rather than a traditional design approach, so that our design work can keep pace with The Times.

Between Privilege and Precarity: Unpacking Language Ideologies of Chinese Students Learning Sinhalese
Authors: Zhou Jinyi , Wang Mengna
Published: January 2025

Language ideologies are dynamic and sometimes contradictory across time and space. ‘Small’ languages that used to be invisible, if not devalued, have been valorized as resource to empower individual success and promote nationalist project. This study examines the language ideologies of Chinese students who used to major in Sinhalese at an elite Chinese university and who have taken up various jobs in China and Sri Lanka. In the context of China’s active engagement with South Asian countries like Sri Lanka, learning Sinhalese has been discursively conceptualized as capital to fulfil China-oriented internationalization. Data were collected from semi-structured interviews which were conducted with eight Chinese graduates majoring in Sinhalese between July 2022 and September 2022. By adopting the concept of language ideologies as a theoretical framework, this study demonstrates that learning Sinhalese opened up new spatiotemporal imaginations for Chinese students to capitalize on their performance and enact their privileged identities. However, findings also indicate that the convertibility of learning Sinhalese language was not neutral but subordinated to multiple actors including English, gender, local and transnational markets, family status and working conditions. This study contributes to the understanding of embedded nature of learning ‘small’ languages in relation to China’s socioeconomic transformation and regional integration. The study can shed lights on how power relations between language learners and structural constraints get played out in non-Anglophone countries. The study is closed by offering relevant implications for maintaining the resilience of learning languages other than English in China and beyond.

A citizens’ perspective on self organisation. Lessons from citizen participation in three European cities

Based on the experience of citizens initiatives in Antwerpen (Belgium), Dortmund (Germany) and Rotterdam (the Netherlands), this article explores the roles of citizens in these projects. The initiatives were not started by already active citizens, but by inactive citizens who were triggered to take action by an event in their direct surroundings. The cases studied show that many small, simple and everyday strategies, which are often overlooked by researchers, are meaningful for successful citizenship. The will to participate is not so much ideologically or democratically driven, but driven by a perceived practical need for action. Governments should aim to support and facilitate these initiatives without aiming to canalize these activities according to their own political or democratic rationality.
Kroniek: bespreking van ‘Vertrouwen in burgers’, rapport 88 van de Wetenschappelijke Raad voor het Regeringsbeleid

Review of ‘Confidence in Citizens’, report 88 by the Dutch Scientific Council for Government Policy

The report Confidence in Citizens by the Dutch Scientific Council for Government Policy dominantly supports increased room for citizen participation. Based on many examples, the report shows how society benefits from the many citizens’ initiatives and how government interference can hamper or even obstruct these initiatives, which do not fit the logic of civil servants. The report gives four, rather general suggestions of how policy makers could respond to these citizens’ initiatives. The generic character of these recommendations can be ascribed to a weak problem analysis and a biased understanding of how government actions negatively interfere with citizens’ initiatives. The Council could have asked more critical questions with regards to citizens initiatives and how they should respond to the logic of government.

Meedoen met de overheid?

Co-production with or co-optation by government?

Over the past decade, policy attention for ‘active citizenship’ and ‘bottom up’ citizen initiatives has strongly increased. Nowadays, governments tend to approach citizens more and more as practical ‘doers’: as active citizens that can initiate projects in the public domain – for instance to increase the livability of their neighborhood. The dominant policy perspective on what is called the ‘democracy of action’ is one of a small government (to make room for a ‘big society’) that is not directive but supportive to active citizens.

In this article, we first argue that in practice we observe two ‘silent ideologies’ that suppress this policy perspective of the democracy of action. We call these the silent ideologies of ‘professional centralism’ and of ‘instrumental support’; we claim that in practice these ideologies enable the dominance of professionals over citizen initiatives (and nót that of the citizens). Second we state that the policy perspective of the democracy of action itself contains a silent ideology: it assumes a highly depoliticized form of citizenship. In the short term, this may be convenient for administrators and policy makers but in the long run this can lead to a less democracy because the voices of critical citizens are not heard.
De stille ideologie in het techniekdebat
Authors: van Est Rinie
Published: January 2025

The silent ideology in the technology debate

The information revolution, and in particular the convergence of nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology and cognitive technology, creates a new societal arena: biopolitics. This so-called NBIC-convergence strengthens the promise that live, including our bodies (e.g. genes), brains (e.g. attention) and social environment (e.g. social contacts and consumer behaviour), can be brought into the domain of technological manipulability. NBIC-convergence, therefore, raises many social and ethical issues. The dominant naïve belief in progress through technology often stands in the way of a timely and adequate governance of these issues. The current situation in which the information revolution is mainly developing on the political sidelines, can lead to thorny societal and political problems in the mid and long-term.

Business as usual? Cross-border attitudes of Dutch police officers

Because of the blurring of the European internal borders, combating crime is demanding closer cross-border collaboration between police forces. For that reason, the Dutch police have expressed the objective that dealing with cases with an international component should be an integral part of the job for every police officer. This study focuses on the attitudes of Dutch police officers regarding cross-border policing, and seeks to determine which factors have the greatest effect on those attitudes. This attitude approach contrasts with more traditional, top-down approaches, by shifting the focus to micro dynamics on the individual level. The methods chosen for addressing this research objective consist of semi-structured interviews and observations. The results show that the current attitude of Dutch police officers is mainly determined by the extent to which they have had to deal with international issues in their daily work. Although strong organization-wide attitudes towards cross-border policing are not likely to arise, much could still be gained by facilitating cross-border experiences and making more coherent efforts at socialization.
Erken Cumhuriyet Döneminde Türk İş Gücünün Korunmasına Yönelik Uygulanan Politikalar: Olaylar, Tepkiler, Sorunlar ve Kanunlar (1930-1935)
Authors: Şallı Hakan
Published: January 2025

Bu çalışma, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin iktisadi yapısında önemli değişimlerin yaşandığı 1930’lu yıllarda etkisini giderek artıran işsizlik sorunu karşısında, ülkedeki Türk ve yabancı işçiler arasındaki denklemin yerli iş gücü lehine düzenlenmesine neden olan etkenleri ortaya koymaya çalışmaktadır. Bu kapsamda hükûmet tarafından atılan somut adımlar arasında yer alan ve 16 Haziran 1932 tarihinde uygulamaya konulan “Türkiye’de Türk Vatandaşlarına Tahsis Edilen Sanat ve Hizmetler Hakkında Kanun”, erken cumhuriyet döneminde Türk işçisi ve sanatkârının korunmasına yönelik takip edilen politikaların temeli olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Söz konusu kanun her ne kadar Türk vatandaşlarının yaşadığı işsizlik sorununun çözümü kapsamında çeşitli çalışmalarda ön plana çıkmış olsa da kanunun hazırlanma sürecine etki eden ve bu süreci hızlandıran olaylar ile kamuoyunun yabancı iş gücüne karşı bakışı görece olarak arka planda kalmıştır. Bu dönemde Türk ve yabancı işçi ile sanatkârlar arasında fotoğrafçılıktan berberliğe, inşaat işçiliğinden ayakkabı imâlciliğine kadar neredeyse tüm iş sahalarında yaşanan istihdam geriliminin en somut yansımalarından biri de müzisyenlik mesleği ile ilgilidir. 1931 yılının Aralık ayı ortalarında kanunlara aykırı bir şekilde Romanya’dan İstanbul’a gelen Furman Orkestrası’nın şehrin en popüler eğlence mekânlarından olan Turkuaz adlı müessesede sahne almaya başlaması, bu gerilimin adeta zirve yapmasına neden olmuştur. Balkan ve Avrupa devletleri tarafından Türk müzisyenlerin kendi ülkelerinde çalışmasına müsaade edilmediği bu tarihlerde, İstanbul’da çok sayıda işsiz yerli sanatkâr bulunmasına rağmen yabancı sanatçıların tercih edilmiş olması, kamuoyunda büyük bir tepki meydana getirmiş, bu olayın “milli izzet-i nefsimizi rencide ettiği” belirtilmiştir. Dönemin gazeteleri tarafından gündemin en önemli konusu haline getirilen “Romanyalı Müzisyenler” meselesi İstanbul Belediyesi, İstanbul Valiliği, Emniyet Müdürlüğü, Dâhiliye, Hariciye ve İktisat Vekâletlerinin eş güdümlü mesaisi ile gerek hukuki gerekse iktisadi açıdan Türk vatandaşlarının lehine çözümlenmeye çalışılan resmi bir boyuta taşınmış, bu kapsamda hükûmet tarafından alınan kararların ülke çapında tatbik edilebilmesi için planlı ve programlı bir organizasyon sürdürülmüştür. 1932 yılında uygulama konulan kanun 1934 yılının Mayıs ayında yeniden düzenlenerek daha sistematik bir hale getirilirken, kanunda yer alan boşlukların Türkiye’deki yabancı iş gücü tarafından doldurulmasının önüne geçilmek istenmiştir. Ayrıca Türkiye’deki bulunan yabancı işçi ve sanatkârlar, mensubu oldukları ülkelerin basını tarafından desteklenirken Türk hükûmetinin yerli iş gücünü ön plana çıkarmak için sürdürdüğü politikalar uluslararası kamuoyunda tepkilere neden olmuştur.

Joyce, Rossetti, Dante. L’edizione “preraffaellita” della "Vita Nuova" nella biblioteca e nell’immaginario di James Joyce
Authors: Mele Valentina
Published: January 2025

Grazie alle ricostruzioni della biblioteca personale di Joyce (Ellmann, 1977; Power 2018), ci è noto che l’edizione della Vita Nuova acquistata dallo scrittore è una prestigiosa ristampa (datata 1911) del libello di Dante, illustrata dai quadri di Dante Gabriel Rossetti, pubblicata per la prima volta in Italia nel 1902 per Roux e Viarengo. Joyce comprò la sua copia a Trieste, di seconda mano, in un periodo compreso tra il 1912 e il 1915. Il presente contributo intende sondare l’influenza della cosiddetta edizione “preraffaellita” del libello di Dante nell’immaginario Joyciano, tramite un’analisi della complessa figura di Gerty, la Nausicaa che Bloom incontra sulla spiaggia di Sandymount.

Published: January 2025

El diseño universal para el aprendizaje (DUA) ofrece un marco para avanzar hacia la inclusión educativa desde el currículum. El objetivo fundamental de este trabajo es identificar si las intervenciones basadas en el DUA ejercen un impacto en la percepción que tiene el profesorado sobre los facilitadores y las barreras hacia la inclusión. Con un diseño de investigación mixto, en esta intervención, que consistió en 3 ciclos de formación sobre dicho modelo, participaron 24 docentes de Educación Infantil y Primaria, quienes respondieron a un cuestionario diseñado ad hoc, con un total de 36 ítems agrupados en tres dimensiones (currículum y programación de aula; organización y planificación del centro, y comunidad educativa) para las fases pretest y postest. Además, cada docente participó en tres grupos focales asociados a las distintas sesiones de reflexión sobre cada uno de los principios del DUA. Los resultados evidenciaron los factores que actuaban como facilitadores o barreras en las tres dimensiones estudiadas y pusieron en valor el modelo de formación desarrollado para que el profesorado adoptara un enfoque proactivo e integral en el diseño de entornos de aprendizajes inclusivos.

Authors: Pereira Luciano José Barreto , Lima Rafael Henrique Palma , Melo Nathália Ramos de
Published: January 2025

O cálculo nutricional de cardápios é uma atividade complexa que envolve diversas operações, incluindo a estimativa das necessidades nutricionais e do consumo alimentar. As metodologias adotadas em pesquisas publicadas para calcular a composição de cardápios em restaurantes, frequentemente apresentam baixa reprodutibilidade, com insuficiente repetibilidade experimental para garantir a representatividade dos resultados. O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi propor um método para avaliação, em restaurantes, da estabilidade do consumo alimentar per capita e mensuração dos parâmetros de distribuição dessa variável, com utilização de cartas controle. A aplicação do Controle Estatístico de Processos (CEP) em restaurantes, se adequadamente adaptada às características específicas do processo de produção de refeições, pode possibilitar a determinação da capacidade do processo como um método para verificar a conformidade com planos nutricionais, legislações, contratos de serviço ou outros objetivos específicos. Os resultados sugerem a viabilidade de se desenvolver um método para calcular indicadores per capita no setor, com o objetivo de melhorar os planejamentos de aquisições de insumos, reduzir custos operacionais e aumentar a competitividade de mercado.

El procedimiento de rehabilitación de faltas administrativas disciplinarias que se ha venido realizando en la Policía Nacional a las faltas leves y graves sancionadas desde la promulgación del COESCOP, han resultado insuficiente o poco específicas. Por ello se propone como objetivo analizar la aplicación del principio de igualdad y la irretroactividad en la rehabilitación de faltas administrativas disciplinarias en el COESCOP, para la determinación de sus implicaciones y el planteamiento de mejoras normativas que garanticen un tratamiento equitativo para todos los servidores policiales en Ecuador. La metodología fue de tipo cualitativo. La población estuvo constituida por casos de servidores públicos sancionados antes y después de la promulgación del COESCOP, Casos de rehabilitación de faltas administrativas. La muestra fue no probabilística, por conveniencia. Se emplearon métodos exegético, analítico y estudio de casos. Como técnicas de investigación se emplearon el análisis de contenido mediante una ficha bibliográfica. Los resultados evidencian deficiencias en el marco legal ecuatoriano que contrastan con los principios establecidos en la Constitución de la República del Ecuador y en diversos tratados internacionales que garantizan la igualdad ante la ley y prohíben la discriminación. La falta de un procedimiento normativo y la inexistencia de una defensa en las etapas previas al COESCOP comprometieron de manera notable los derechos de los servidores públicos. Se elaboró una propuesta de reforma artículo 51 del COESCOP, con el fin de asegurar la aplicación del principio de igualdad en la rehabilitación de faltas administrativas disciplinarias en dicha ley.

This study employed molecular dynamics simulations utilizing the ReaxFF force field to elucidate the mechanisms underlying methane decomposition and hydrogen generation on nickel clusters (Ni37, Ni55, and Ni80). The transformation of methane into valuable products, including carbon species and hydrogen molecules, is of considerable significance owing to the abundance of methane and its potential role as an atmospheric pollutant. The findings suggest that Ni37 clusters had the highest initial reactivity, although they deactivated swiftly; conversely, Ni55 and Ni80 exhibited more consistent reaction rates. The highest efficiency of hydrogen production per unit surface area was displayed by Ni55 clusters within 100,000 fs, demonstrating a balance between reactivity and stability. Methane dissociation on the Ni55 clusters occurred in multiple stages. Two distinct mechanisms for hydrogen formation were identified: simultaneous dissociation from methane and migration and the combination of hydrogen atoms on the cluster surface. Ni55 showed a substantially lower activation energy for methane dissociation at 0.5 eV than bulk nickel, suggesting a higher degree of reactivity. Conversely, the activation energy for hydrogen formation was 1.1 eV. These results highlight the potential of the Ni55 clusters as effective catalysts for hydrogen production and methane conversion
Quantitative Analysis of Gravity Currents Using the Light Attenuation Technique
Authors: Tjung Ezra Yoanes Setiasabda , Kikkert Gustaaf Adriaan
Published: January 2025

It is well known that when two fluids with different specific densities are put adjacent to each other, there is an unbalanced horizontal density gradient that results in the adjustment process to achieve equilibrium, so that the less dense fluid finds its way atop the denser fluid. The purpose of this study is to employ light attenuation technique to obtain quantitative data in investigating the mentioned phenomenon. Specifically, the gravity current experiment models what is commonly found in estuaries, where there is an unbalanced density gradient due to the different densities of saltwater and fresh water. The use of light attenuation technique enables a more accurate quantitative data collection and thus enables a more rigorous definition of the location of the nose and the thickness of the head to be applied during the analysis of experimental data. It also allows for investigating the mixing characteristics of the two fluids in the highly turbulent layer immediately behind the current head process such as the velocity and the thickness of the shear layer

Antibiotic Resistance in COPD Patients in the Intensive Care Unit: A Review of Recent Developments
Authors: Özmen Özgür
Published: January 2025

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally, and it remains a leading contributor to hospital admissions, particularly in the elderly. In the past decade, COPD has been identified as one of the leading risk factors for infection-related complications, including pneumonia, bronchitis, and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Antibiotics are a cornerstone of therapy for COPD exacerbations caused by bacterial infections. However, inappropriate antibiotic use in this patient population has led to an increasing burden of antibiotic resistance. The overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics is especially problematic in ICU settings, where empirical antibiotic treatment is often initiated without adequate microbiological testing. The relationship between COPD and antibiotic resistance is multifaceted. On the one hand, COPD patients are more likely to require antibiotics due to recurrent infections, leading to frequent antibiotic courses. On the other hand, the repeated exposure to antibiotics can promote the selection of resistant bacterial strains. The management of antibiotic resistance in COPD patients, particularly those in the ICU, is a complex and growing challenge. Strategies such as antibiotic stewardship programs, rapid microbiological diagnostics, and the use of narrow-spectrum antibiotics have been shown to reduce the emergence of resistant organisms and improve patient outcomes. However, the problem of antibiotic resistance in COPD patients remains significant, particularly in the context of multidrug-resistant pathogens.

This study explores the synergistic effects of Resveratrol and Metformin on improving insulin sensitivity and ovulatory function in women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). As a complex condition, PCOS is characterized by elevated androgen levels, menstrual irregularities, and the presence of ovarian cysts, with significant impacts on reproductive and metabolic health. Addressing this, our randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involved 100 women diagnosed with PCOS. Participants were divided into two groups, one receiving Metformin alone and the other a combination of Metformin and Resveratrol. Outcomes measured included insulin sensitivity, ovulatory cycles, metabolic and hormonal profiles, and inflammatory markers. Our findings revealed that combination therapy significantly improved ovulatory function, insulin sensitivity, and reduced inflammation compared to Metformin alone. These promising results indicate the potential of combined Resveratrol and Metformin treatment in managing both metabolic and reproductive aspects of PCOS, though further research is necessary to confirm these outcomes and clarify the mechanisms at play.

Authors: Siqueira Henrique Pereira de Figueiredo , Reis Fábio Pinto Gonçalves dos , Carneiro Kleber Tüxen , Vieira Rubens Antonio Gurgel
Published: January 2025

The Santo Daime religion, inspired by ayahuasca traditions, has as its central practice the dance, a ritual characterized by synchronized and expressive body movements imbued with symbolic and aesthetic meanings. These movements enable practitioners to develop a deep body awareness, fostering the integration of mind, body and spirituality. Beyond its mystical dimension, the dance stands as a rich cultural manifestation, blending elements of resistance and identity reaffirmation. In this context, a scientific investigation was conducted to explore potential formative correlations between the Santo Daime dance and body culture, which constitutes the object of study in school Physical Education. This qualitative study employed oral history as an analytical method and included a semi-structured interview with a participant. Findings revealed that the dance can serve as a form of body education, promoting identity construction and providing a space for cultural resistance against hegemonic narratives. Moreover, the study emphasized the importance of valuing and understanding body practices from diverse cultural contexts, enriching diversity and inclusion within the field of Physical Education. By recognizing these expressions, the discipline contributes to a more holistic human formation and acknowledges the multiple cultures that shape contemporary society.
Road Damage Analysis Using PCI Method
Authors: Lestari Rossy Indah , Sugiyanto Martinus Agus
Published: January 2025

Problematic road infrastructure or pavement due to heavy and repeated traffic volume will cause a decrease in road quality. One of the road damage problems occurred on the Babakan - Pabuaran road section, Cirebon Regency.

The concept of the Islamic worldview is essentially a perspective derived from Islamic teachings, encompassing an understanding of existence, reality, and the purpose of life. As a system of knowledge, this worldview cannot be separated from science; rather, it has a close relationship with scientific inquiry. This article aims to analyze the relationship between science and religion from the perspective of the Islamic worldview, identifying points of convergence and divergence, as well as exploring how both can complement each other in shaping our understanding of the universe and human life. Through a multidisciplinary approach, this article delves into the role of science in Islam and how religious principles influence the development of scientific knowledge. Overall, this article argues that science and religion within the Islamic worldview are not in conflict; instead, they can coexist in the pursuit of a greater truth.
