The Past in the Present: The Religious and Royal Dimension of Newar Traditional Dance Theatre, Nepal
Authors: Toffin Gérard
Published: September 2024

Abstract: This essay links the contemporary dance theatre of the Newars of the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal to the medieval Malla theatre that was staged from the thirteenth to the eighteenth centuries by the same Newar ethnic group. A detailed study of both types of performance, ancient and present-day, shows that a remarkable persistence has been at work through the centuries, even after the abolition of the monarchy in 2008. This research particularly focuses on two prevalent past and present aspects of these performances: their religious and kingly dimensions. Examples drawn from ethnographic fieldwork in urban and rural environments are provided. By way of conclusion, the essay explores the social and political significance of these plays in present-day Nepal. Performing dance theatre today revives the Malla golden age and compensates in many ways for the downgraded status to which Newars have been relegated over the last two centuries in Nepal.
The Performers’ Brush: A Case Study of Scene Twelve “Composing the Score” (“Zhipu”) in a Mid-Qing Stage Script of Changsheng dian (Palace of Everlasting Life)
Authors: Sheng Yihui
Published: September 2024

Abstract: Well-trained performers in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century China (and before) hardly documented how they staged a play, despite their devoted participation in the exuberant theatrical activities at the time. The lack of written records about the stage performance has frustrated modern scholars who hope to decenter the voice of playwrights, that is, the educated men who exercised their authority through literary composition, in the study of premodern Chinese theatre. For this reason, the full-length stage script of the renowned play Changsheng dian 長生殿 (The Palace of Everlasting Life) that was copied by a person named Shen Wencai 沈文彩 in 1750 provides invaluable information about how performers might have contributed to the creation of a play. Not only is the script a written record of how the play was once performed but it also contains detailed editing by an unknown individual with a deep understanding of the stage. While the script has not yet obtained much attention in the English and Chinese scholarship, in order to initiate in-depth, comprehensive examinations of this important source, in this essay, I take one scene from the script as a case study and compare the scene with the playwright’s version. By following and highlighting the traces of the performers’ brush featured in the script, I bring to light how performers in eighteenth-century China used their embodied knowledge of theatre to make a play performable while also claiming credits for their own creativity.
From the Diary, January 1990
Authors: Zeide Alla
Published: September 2024

SUMMARY: Commemorating Alla Zeide (1941–2024), a literary scholar and student of Russian culture, this archival publication presents a fragment from her diary of January 1990. This document is her self-portrait but it is also a snapshot of a generation and a social type. Zeide writes about the trauma of her Soviet Jewishness, which she experienced most acutely during what she called her "personal Jewish pogrom" in school at the peak of the late Stalinist antisemitic campaign. She also contemplates the highly censored family memory of the first generation of Soviets, including her parents born in the 1910s, so that she learned only bits and pieces about her immediate ancestors. Резюме: Эта архивная публикация призвана почтить память Аллы Зейде (1941–2024), литературоведа и исследователя российской культуры. Публикуемые фрагменты ее дневника за январь 1990 г. можно рассматривать как автопортрет автора, но также и моментальный снимок целого поколения и социального типа. Зейде пишет о травме своего советского еврейства, наиболее остро пережитой ею во время того, что она назвала своим "личным еврейским погромом" в школе на пике позднесталинской антисемитской кампании. Она также размышляет о жесткой цензуре семейной памяти первого советского поколения, включая ее родителей, родившихся в 1910-х годах, из-за чего ей была известна лишь отрывочная информация о своих предках.
Rejecting the Collective: Unorthodox and the Problem of Individualist Feminism
Authors: Skinazi Karen E. H.
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT: Although viewers might want to see a story about a self-liberated woman as a "feminist" tale, by privileging Esty Shapiro's individualist behavior above all else, the Netflix series Unorthodox (2020) paradoxically closes a door on a central tenet of feminism: collective activism. Because collectives are figured almost unwaveringly as negative, the heroine, and the series, imagine the "struggle for individuality," as writer and creator Anna Winger called it, as a struggle against collective power, even that of the oppressed. Thus, unlike The Handmaid's Tale , the individualist-feminist series Unorthodox both relegates to the periphery the systemic oppression of women and fails to call for the collective action necessary for systemic change.
Practices and Challenges in Digital Holocaust and Genocide Education: The Case Study of the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre
Authors: Boyd Catherine , Hovsha Daniella , Ntuli Mduduzi
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT: The move toward digitization is certainly not a new phenomenon, however in 2020 and 2021, during the COVID-19 health pandemic and its several lockdowns, many museums, education centers, and institutions globally were forced to migrate fully to digital and online practices in order to continue their educational work and connection to the public at large. This presented numerous challenges as well as opportunities.
Jorge Herralde: editar en tiempos recios
Authors: Guerrero Gustavo
Published: September 2024

Abstract: This article studies the trajectory of the editor Jorge Herralde and the project and editorial policies of the Anagrama publishing house, which he founded in 1969. The narrative is structured by two central moments in its history: the crisis of the company during the period of the Spanish transition, and the fight for the defense of independent publishing in the 1990s and 2000s. The article also analyses the editorial policies of the Barcelona-based house at these two junctures and the historical role they played in the consolidation of a certain idea of independent publishing that continues to this day.
Un caballo de Troya: la poética editorial y la poética de editor de Constantino Bértolo
Authors: Cuiñas Ana Gallego
Published: September 2024

Abstract: Editor writings are a sub-genre that has developed profusely since the second half of the twentieth century, especially after the globalization of the book market in the 1990s and the progressive disappearance of the figure of the independent editor. This study is part of such starting hypothesis and focuses on the editor Constantino Bértolo and his decade of work at the head of the independent publishing Caballo de Troya. The sociological and theoretical method developed in this research is called cross-reading and the objectives set are twofold: firstly, to unravel the poetics of publishing of Constantino Bértolo, by distantly reading the catalogue of Caballo de Troya, while describing his independent publishing work, marked by the postulates of Marxism and the Avant-Garde. Secondly, the poetics of editor are addressed, by closely reading the narrative that forms the backbone of his two best essays on the subject, La cena de los notables (2008) and Una poética editorial (2022), from which the editor is perceived as an author, as a critic and as a field. Finally, there is a reflection on the loss of autonomy of the literary and the disappearance of the literary field.
Shaking Colombia’s Artistic Canon: Indigenous Psychoactive Brews as Aesthetic Practice in Juan Cárdenas’ Los estratos
Authors: Aguilar Vásquez Natalia
Published: September 2024

Abstract: In Juan Cárdenas’ literature, writing is an experiment that tests the limits of social representation and the boundaries of academic disciplines. His 2013 novel Los estratos dismantles Colombia’s stratified society, where Indigenous and Black communities occupy the lowest strata, while capturing mythical and aural elements of both minorities in the contemporary urban and rural spheres. Instead of speaking for the Indigenous and Black subjects, the novel presents minorities through the main character’s intellectual and corporal limitations as he travels to the jungle and drinks yagé. In this article, I argue that in Los estratos the shamanic rituals of preparation and intake of psychoactive brews are an artistic practice, analogous but not identical to experiences within the visual arts. Challenging conventional representations of the Indigenous in art and media, I show how psychoactive brews can be understood as part of contemporary artistic networks in Colombia.
Beyond The Dog Years: A New Perspective on Masculinity as an Intrinsic Value of the Swedish Emigration to America
Authors: Tormod-Julin Tove
Published: September 2024

Abstract: This article examines the emigration of Swedish men to America between 1880 and 1910 in the context of the evolving ideals of masculinity around the turn of the century. It challenges earlier economic and functionalist research using gender theories and modern migration theory. The study primarily relies on emigrants' testimonies as assessed by Emigrationsutredningen (The emigration investigation) and is analyzed through a life-story method. My findings underscore a previously overlooked dimension of Swedish migration—its significance as a test of manhood. At the juncture between the old and new society, the Swedish men express being overseen, aggrieved, and patronized. Emigration offered an escape from societal constraints, enabling these men to explore alternative revenge masculinity, pointed at Mother Svea, the state that let them down. The narrative of the "dog years," representing a rite of passage through initial hardships, became an essential part of understanding the experience and life-changing choice both toward the collective and in contemporary media and debate. Finally, it contributed significantly to the emigrants' identities, serving as a pivotal element in their efforts to transcend marginalization and to counter stereotyping, ultimately pursuing the hegemonic masculinity epitomized by the American "self-made man." The conclusions align with contemporary studies of masculinity and migration, offering fresh insights into the field and new relevance.
"Should We Do It the Swedish Way?": American Coverage of Sweden and Sex during the AIDS Pandemic
Authors: Ghanoui Saniya Lee
Published: September 2024

Abstract: This article examines the American media coverage of Swedish sexuality, sex education, and cultural attitudes toward sex during the 1980s and 1990s. I argue that much of American media, including newspapers and television interviews, attempted to reframe the construction of Swedish sex from one based in notions of immorality and lewdness to an idea of openness, discussion, and problem solving. While the spread of AIDS did not necessarily have a direct impact on this change in media coverage, it did contribute to an evolving consciousness about how and why schools, parents, educators, physicians, and even the US government needed to talk about sex. While the Swedish response to sex education and AIDS also changed during the 1980s, for this study I focus solely on a general American perception of what was happening in Sweden.
Reinaldo Arenas’s Original Antes que anochezca Manuscript: Unveiling and Unraveling “Un escándalo póstumo”
Authors: Willis Angela L.
Published: September 2024

Abstract: This study, the first of its kind, closely examines Reinaldo Arenas’s original Antes que anochezca manuscript, a text long shrouded in mystery; in the process, it reveals surprising redactions that were not included in some of the published versions of the autobiography. It provides contextualization and analysis of the collective process of both written and oral composition of Antes , as well as the editorial process carried out by Arenas and his “literary team” posthumously. The author also explores a multitude of relevant adjacent materials, in addition to a second Antes manuscript, edited by Dolores Koch.
Demographic-environmental effect on dengue outbreaks in 11 countries
Authors: Sajib Anamul Haque , Akter Sabina , Saha Goutam , Hossain Zakir
Published: September 2024

Background

Dengue outbreaks are common in tropical or temperate countries, and climate change can exacerbate the problem by creating conditions conducive to the spread of mosquitoes and prolonging the transmission season. Warmer temperatures can allow mosquitoes to mature faster and increase their ability to spread disease. Additionally, changes in rainfall patterns can create more standing water, providing a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

Objective

The objective of this study is to investigate the correlation between environmental and demographic factors and the dissemination of dengue fever. The study will use yearly data from 2000 to 2021 from 11 countries highly affected by dengue, considering multiple factors such as dengue cases, temperatures, precipitation, and population to better understand the impact of these variables on dengue transmission.

Methods

In this research, Poisson regression (PR) and negative binomial regression (NBR) models are used to model count data and estimate the effect of different predictor variables on the outcome. Also, histogram plots and pairwise correlation plots are used to provide an initial overview of the distribution and relationship between the variables. Moreover, Goodness-of-fit tests, t-test analysis, diagnostic plots, influence plots, and residual vs. leverage plots are used to check the assumptions and validity of the models and identify any outliers or influential observations that may be affecting the results.

Results

The findings indicate that mean temperature and log(Urban) had a positive impact on dengue infection rates, while maximum temperature, log(Precipitation), and population density had a negative impact. However, minimum temperature, log(Rural), and log(Total population) did not demonstrate any significant effects on the incidence of dengue.

Conclusion

The impact of demographic-environmental factors on dengue outbreaks in 11 Asian countries is illuminated by this study. The results highlight the significance of mean temperature (Tmean), maximum temperature (Tmax), log(Urban), log(Precipitation), and population density in influencing dengue incidence rates. However, further research is needed to gain a better understanding of the role of additional variables, such as immunity levels, awareness, and vector control measures, in the spread of dengue.
Exploring the link between economic policy uncertainty, financial development, ecological innovation and environmental degradation; evidence from OECD countries
Authors: Zheng Xiaowei , Faheem Muhammad , Fakhriddinovch Uktamov Khusniddin
Published: September 2024

Governments have been concerned with balancing economic growth and environmental sustainability. Nevertheless, it has been noted that sustainable development is interconnected with economic variables, the institutional framework, and the efficacy of ecological regulatory measures. This study experimentally examines the correlation of economic policy uncertainty (EPU), financial development (FD), ecological innovation (EI), corruption (IQ), foreign direct investment (FDI), trade openness (TR), natural resource rent (NRR), and CO2 emission. We utilized longitudinal data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries from 2003 to 2021 to address the existing research void. This study used sequential processes of the linear panel data model (SELPDM) and the SYS-GMM approaches in obtaining consistent and efficient results. The inverse U-shaped relationship between FD and environmental degradation (ED) is confirmed by the long-term elasticity estimates generated by the SELPDM method Elasticity estimates for the long-run show that rigorous ecological regulations, higher renewable energy utilization, higher FD and less corruption, an interaction between FD and rigorous ecological regulations all contribute to reduced ED. Its also being observed that both EPU, FDI and trade openness are positively affecting the ED. It confirms the idea of pollution refuge between the OECD countries. The causality test results show that corruption and FD had reciprocal links with ED, while FDI, trade openness and strict environmental policies were also found to have bidirectional linkage with ED. To achieve sustainable development and prevent environmental degradation in the long term, we propose implementing an institutional financial framework and FD in OECD nations. This may be accomplished by focusing on the effectiveness of environmental regulatory laws and creating a conducive institutional environment.
Does internationalization improve environmental disclosure willingness and quality? The moderating role of green investors
Authors: He Juan , Yang Shuang
Published: September 2024

Environmental issues have gradually become a key concern for society. The public has been paying increasing attention to corporate environmental disclosure and performance. With the “go global” trend, more and more enterprises are looking to overseas markets for new technologies and resources. Multinational enterprises (MNEs) are facing more challenges than domestic enterprises. To remain competitive and sustainable, enterprises from developing countries need to gain a foothold in developed countries. We explore how MNEs’ internationalization impacts environmental disclosure, specifically focusing on the role of green investors as stakeholders. We draw evidence from Chinese-listed MNEs, with a total of 4,709 panel data observations. For the main analysis, we use a fixed effect model. The findings suggest that a higher level of internationalization can improve both the willingness and quality of environmental disclosure for MNEs, and this relationship is further strengthened by green investors. A heterogeneity analysis reveals that the positive effect of internationalization on environmental disclosure is mainly present in state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and developed host countries. We find that external pressure from host countries motivates MNEs to increase environmental disclosure willingness and quality. This study provides valuable insights for MNEs from emerging economies on how to achieve legitimacy and a positive reputation in overseas markets through environmental disclosure strategies. This study proposes the importance of green investors on environmental disclosure issues from a stakeholder perspective and provides new theoretical insights for environmental policy reform in developing countries such as China.
The effect of service outsourcing on labor income share: Measuring labor income share from the global value chains perspective
Authors: Ye Qi , Yan Jie
Published: September 2024

Inspired by the positive impact of service outsourcing in Chery and other enterprises on human resources, this paper explores the impact of service outsourcing on labor income share. This paper introduces a framework to analyze how value added is distributed between capital and labor along the mix of inputs from different countries and sectors participating in global value chains and examines the effect of service outsourcing on the labor share income. Using the World Input-Output Database (WIOD) and OECD Inter-Country Input-Output (OECD- ICIO) table, this paper utilizes the WWZ decomposition method of global value chains (GVCs) to quantify labor share income. The results show that: (1) service outsourcing significantly contributes to the increase in labor share income; (2) Offshore outsourcing had a statistically stronger effect on labor share income after the financial crisis, both compared to the past and to onshore outsourcing; (3) Offshore outsourcing has a higher coefficient in countries with low technology. For ease of comparison, only onshore outsourcing shows a statistically significant difference among various service types; (4) The analysis using Chinese data reveals that the coefficient of offshore outsourcing is negative and statistically significant, indicating that industries with higher levels of service outsourcing have a lower labor share income.
The identity group as a source of social influence for individuals with concealable stigmatized identities
Authors: Cortopassi Andrew C. , Quinn Diane M. , Nicolas Gandalf
Published: September 2024

Many people who are stigmatized along concealable features (e.g., sexual minorities or people with mental illness) anticipate social rejection due to their features and associated labels, and these beliefs are a prominent predictor of psychological distress. While ecological approaches to stigma research have highlighted the social basis of these two related outcomes, it typically has focused on the impact of non-stigmatized counterparts. Also embedded in the social environment are similarly-stigmatized others who, in concealing, may be less accessible to the individual. Given the centrality of psychological distress and rejection concerns as a relational self-conception in attachment theories, we tested if identity-based rejection sensitivity and distress may emerge from diminished access to similarly-stigmatized others as identity group members. Leveraging the University as a partially-controlled, naturalistic setting, we collected measures of concealment, identity-based rejection sensitivity, and psychological distress from undergraduate students in introductory psychology courses who reported a concealable stigmatized identity (N = 355; k = 15 identity groups). With concealment aggregated to the level of the identity group, multi-level modeling showed that concealment by similarly-stigmatized students was positively associated with both individuals’ identity-based rejection sensitivity and their psychological distress. Moreover, rejection sensitivity mediated the association of group-level concealment and distress. Findings suggest that rejection concerns and distress may emerge from identity group inaccessibility in the social environment, with the association of concerns and distress possibly contextualized by underlying group attachment dynamics. Results reveal the identity group as a novel source of social influence in the lives of individuals with concealable stigmatized identities.
Proteinuria is a clinical characteristic of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy but it is not a marker of severity: A retrospective cohort study
Authors: Watad Hadel , Ohayon Aviran , Meyer Raanan , Cohen Adiel , Kassif Eran , Fisher-Bartal Michal , Yoeli Rakefet , Mazaki-Tovi Shali
Published: September 2024

Objectives

To determine the prevalence of proteinuria in patients diagnosed with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (IHCP), and the association between the presence of proteinuria and adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Methods

This was a retrospective cohort study. The study included all pregnant patients between July 2014 and January 2022, at gestational age > 24weeks who had been diagnosed with IHCP and had completed a 24-hour protein collection. High order multifetal gestations were excluded. Patients were divided into 3 groups:1. IHCP without proteinuria (Non-proteinuric group);2. IHCP with proteinuria and normal blood pressure (Isolated proteinuria group), and 3. IHCP with proteinuria and elevated blood pressure (IHCP with preeclampsia (PET)). Primary outcome was defined as a composite maternal-fetal outcome including: preterm labor <34 weeks, arterial cord blood ph<7.1, rate of Cesarean delivery due to non-reassuring fetal monitoring. Parametric and non-parametric statistical methods were used for analysis.

Results

A total of 272 met all inclusion criteria and were included, 94 patients (34.5%) had proteinuria; of them, 67 (24.6%) had isolated proteinuria and 27 (9.9%) had PET. Demographic parameters were comparable among the groups. Patients with PET had higher rates of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments, twin gestation and elevated serum creatinine and urea levels. The rate of composite adverse pregnancy outcome was higher in patients with PET compared with patients with and without proteinuria (14/27 (51.9%) vs. 18/67 (26.9%) vs. 49/178 (27.5%), respectively, p = 0.03).

Conclusions

Approximately 35% of patients with IHCP have proteinuria. The presence of PET, rather than isolated proteinuria, is associated with adverse pregnancy outcome.
The meaning of the mask: Ambivalent social identity and mask refusal in COVID America
Authors: Kealy-Morris Elizabeth
Published: September 2024

This article will consider the medical face mask as both an accessory and a protective barrier utilizing embodied dress theory. The face mask is now a symbol of ambivalent social identity, and centrally, the anxiety of who the mask is protecting – who is the ‘sick one’ here? This anxiety turned to powerful backlash against this small, but key piece of the personal protective equipment (PPE) and against public health mandates ruling masks must be worn in certain settings. This article will examine the mask-refusal movement in the United States to unpick the roots of this backlash, breaking new ground through utilizing key studies on cultural memory in America to propose that its origins come from an active belief in the ‘rugged individualism’ of the American psyche borne from the myth of the frontier spirit which runs through American collective consciousness underpinned by masculine ideologies. This article will suggest that with the reaction to the face mask, we see further evidence that dressing oneself is an everyday embodied practice which has high stakes during a deadly global pandemic. The article suggests practices and activities that fashion and dress scholars could engage in to actively use embodied dress theory in the future research to develop public health policies based on solidarity and empathy and design masks we will want to wear.
On synchronicity: Green shipping’s logistical and real-time media
Authors: Tollefson Hannah
Published: September 2024

In the past two decades, underwater ocean noise has emerged as an issue of global ecological concern. Commercial shipping is responsible for approximately 80 per cent of the industrial ocean soundscape. These high levels of acoustic emissions, and their impact on marine life, present reputational and regulatory risks to the shipping and logistics industry, threatening to place limits on vessel movement and the imperatives of just-in-time circulation. In this context, underwater noise management is becoming a significant site of state and industry-led greening efforts. This article examines the use of smart ocean systems in mitigating the sonic impacts of just-in-time shipping, focusing on the Port of Vancouver’s Enhancing Cetacean Habitation and Observation (ECHO) programme. Launched in 2014, ECHO develops initiatives to reduce sonic threats to marine mammals, particularly the endangered Southern Resident Killer Whale (SRKW), whose habitat overlaps with shipping lanes surrounding Canada’s largest port. As a smart ocean programme, ECHO aims to employ real-time management to synchronize the spatio-temporal rhythms of transiting whales and ships. How do logistical media and the temporal dynamics of just-in-time circulation intersect with environmental management and smart ocean governance? The article addresses this question by analysing the media and logics of real-time monitoring and response in environmental management in relation to just-in-time as a production philosophy that has underwritten logistical capitalism. By bringing work on smart oceans and marine governance into conversation with studies of logistics and logistical media, it considers how real-time sensing infrastructures are shaping management practices at the nexus of logistics and environmental governance. In doing so, it aims to shed light on the ways that the increasing use of digital sensing technologies are shaping management practices at the nexus of logistics and environmental governance. While underwater noise cast as pollution threatens to impede commodity flows, this article traces how certain actors in the industry are leveraging real-time sensing networks to coordinate circulation and maintain profitability in the emerging green shipping economy.
Cryoception
Authors: Schuppli Susan
Published: September 2024

Embodied and proximate experiences of cryospheric environments are often pitted against the more abstract realms of climate science, especially those associated with remote sensing, laboratory analysis and computational modelling. In this article I argue that knowledge of ice must be poly-perspectival and relational. Experiences from the field actively shape scientific insights and provide important contextual understandings of how the work was carried out and the ways in which measurements may have been arrived at and verified. This in turn elicits an ethical plea and methodological prompt as to how technical modes of sensing of ice could be further integrated into sociocultural assemblies especially those involving local knowledge traditions and the embodied experiences of living and working on ice.

A ERRADICAÇÃO DO TRABALHO INFANTIL NA ÓTICA DO DIREITO À FRATERNIDADE E AO DESENVOLVIMENTO
Authors: Araujo Andrey Araujo de , Dias Clara Angélica Gonçalves Cavalcanti
Published: September 2024

Contextualização do tema: A construção do direito e do contexto social vem sendo repensada, e um dos temas de grande destaque é a (re)inserção do pensamento fraterno no contexto jurídico, quer tendo a fraternidade como paradigma para nortear condutas e políticas públicas, quer como princípio balizador e interpretativo, moldando-se às práticas sociais e, consequentemente, à realidade. Igualmente quanto a necessidade de prover o desenvolvimento social, ao se erradicar práticas sociais deletérias.
Objetivos: O objetivo do trabalho é analisar o tema relativo à erradicação do trabalho infantil como um corolário do direito à fraternidade e ao desenvolvimento.
Metodologia: Quanto à metodologia, optou-se pela pesquisa qualitativa, aliada ao procedimento de caráter bibliográfico, pautada na leitura da obra de Amartya Sen, Desenvolvimento como liberdade (2010), e na tese de Doutorado da Doutora Clara Cardoso Machado Jaborandy (2016), “A Fraternidade no Direito Constitucional Brasileiro: Um Instrumento para Proteção de Direitos Fundamentais Transindividuais”.
Resultados: Houve avanços absolutamente significativos no tocante à erradicação do trabalho infantil, mas não se pode deixar que todos esses avanços sofram qualquer tipo de regressão, sob pena de se lançar milhões de crianças a uma vida potencialmente pobre e excluída do mundo globalizado. É evidente, por meio do raciocínio desenvolvido, que o possível aumento global da renda familiar por meio do trabalho tem uma positividade irrelevante frente às inúmeras repercussões negativas para a própria criança e a sua dignidade, para o seu círculo familiar e para a sociedade como um todo.

Published: September 2024

Contextualização: Esse estudo parte da compreensão sobre uma dimensão estrutural conferida ao conceito de igualdade, especialmente quanto à (des)igualdade de gênero na seara trabalhista, assimilando o movimento em busca de um tratamento protetivo, impulsionado pela nova Lei n.º 14.611 de 2023.
Objetivo: Aproveitar-se-á dos conceitos sobre o tema das políticas públicas e das contribuições da teoria Habermasiana, que cooperam para a análise e formulação de políticas públicas, na busca por estratégias apropriadas para enfrentar a discriminação de gênero sob um viés estrutural. As construções serão combinadas com o estudo sobre a igualdade de gênero na intenção de responder às questões: 1) quais as inovações trazidas pela nova Lei n.º 14.611 no tocante à igualdade salarial e como esse movimento impulsiona o enfrentamento da discriminação de gênero sob um viés estrutural? e 2) quais as contribuições da teoria Habermasiana na construção dessa iniciativa na política pública de equidade de gênero no contexto laboral?
Metodologia: Serão utilizados os métodos de abordagem dedutivo e de procedimento analítico e a técnica de pesquisa bibliográfica
Resultados: O estudo perfectibiliza discussões a respeito de uma dimensão estrutural da (des) igualdade de gênero, especialmente no contexto laboral, o qual reflete intersecções cruciais entre a esfera pública e privada e, portanto, mostra-se um relevante objeto de análise para a criação e implementação de políticas públicas direcionadas à questão de gênero.

Az egészségügyi ellátórendszerek nem tudtak teljes mértékben és megfelelő módon viszonyulni a mentális betegségekhez. Antonovsky megalkotta a „salutogenesis” elméletet, mely a koherencia-érzés fogalmával hozzájárul a mentális egészség javulásához. Jelen kutatás célja a koherencia-érzés és az önértékelés vizsgálata gyermekek és serdülők között tanulmányi teljesítményükkel összefüggésben. Módszer: A vizsgálati alanyok egy része (N=199) szegedi tanuló volt, másik része (N=124) az SZTE Gyermek- és Ifjúságpszichiátriai Osztályának páciensei közül került ki. Az alábbi önkitöltős kérdőíveket használtam: Koherencia-Érzés Kérdőív, Rosenberg Önértékelés Skála, Képességek és Nehézségek Kérdőív, Életminőség Kérdőív, Multidimenzionális Észlelt Társas Támogatás Kérdőív, valamint Demográfiai és Negatív Életesemény Kérdőív. Eredmények: A koherencia-érzés, az önértékelés, az életminőség és a szubjektív szociális támogatottság alacsonyabb volt a pszichiátriai mintában. A gyermekek koherencia-érzése és önértékelése magasabb, életminősége jobb volt a serdülőknél. A koherencia-érzést prediktálta az önértékelés, életminőség, szociális támogatottság és a pszichés/viselkedési tünetek jelenléte. Az előző tanév iskolai átlaga összefüggést mutatott a koherencia-érzéssel, életkorral, nemmel, és a pszichés/viselkedési problémákkal. A koherencia-érzés csak az átlag populációs mintában jósolta meg az iskolai átlagot. A pszichiátriai mintában az érzelmi zavarok prediktálták legerősebben az iskolai teljesítményt. A kutatás kvalitatív eredményei alapján a depressziós serdülők nem értették magukat, rosszul irányították az életüket és értelmetlennek érezték azt. Összefoglalás: A fiatalok mentális problémái jelentős mértékben felelősek a tanulmányi nehézségekért. Az érzelmi tünetek megakadályozzák az adaptív alkalmazkodást a serdülők negatív életesemények, kortárskapcsolati problémák, családi és romantikus kapcsolatokhoz kötődő stresszorokhoz. A pszichés/magatartási problémákkal küzdő fiatalok nagyobb kihívással találják szembe magukat identitásuk kialakítása és megszilárdítása terén. A koherencia-érzés protektív tényező lehet az iskolai stresszel való megküzdésben. Az életminőség javítása a kezelés fontos célja, főleg amikor a pszichés/magatartási tünetek csak részlegesen javulnak.
O gwoup a po Voukoum

Published: September 2024

O presente artigo pretende refletir sobre práticas e perspectivas do grupo cultural guadalupense Voukoum, a partir do ritual anual dékatman mas. Neste, é possível depreender modos de existência que interpelam e questionam os conceitos de nação, religião, cidadania e indivíduo estabelecidos na sociedade ocidental moderna e utilizados e apropriados, de alguma forma, por diferentes grupos políticos de Guadalupe, território ultramarino francês, com os quais o Voukoum se relaciona e intersecciona em suas reivindicações e processos de construção. São observadas as críticas ao processo de formação até a situação atual de Guadalupe e de seus habitantes. As maneiras pelas quais o grupo propõe (re)existir, por meio da realização das mas e da criação de comunidade evidenciam uma “cosmopolítica” que problematiza e exibe alternativas aos conceitos e discursos hegemônicos.

O presente artigo propõe uma discussão metodológica para lidar com problemas de uma etnografia do processo de reintegração de posse enfrentado pelo Acampamento Capão das Antas — ocupação rural localizada em São Carlos (SP). A questão mobilizada ao longo de todo texto diz respeito às técnicas de visualização utilizadas para etnografar contínuas histórias de expulsão que se encontram na própria possibilidade do assentamento. A partir das relações entre ocupantes e os muitos documentos que fazem expulsão e permanência, deslindo três propostas metodológicas: performatividade da escrita como parte do movimento de luta infinita do Capão das Antas, no qual fazer alianças é imprescindível; contraposição entre a invasão do Direito nas vidas do Capão das Antas e a ocupação feita da linguagem proprietária da Lei pelas/os moradoras/es do acampamento; explicitação, através da noção de documentário, da ‘ressonância de ritmos’ que percorre, na luta, Antropologia, Direito e Acampamento.

The Political Economy of Energy Transition in Mexico
Authors:   , Liñán Segura Karen Gabriela
Published: September 2024

Renewable energy as radical innovation requires not just technology substitution, but also fundamental transformation at the system level. That means a change of social elements, such as policies, market rules, regulations for users and producers, and their behaviour. From the literature, energy transitions at a national level must understand evolution in energy markets, energy policies and energy technologies. Thus, the research explored a conceptual framework that consider the three perspectives (techno-economic, socio-technical and political). The system’s structural barriers and lock-in can cause a slow diffusion of renewable energy. If system changes are too radical, they may encounter resistance from incumbents. This may lead to failure or even a slower diffusion. This is representative for the case of Mexico, where energy developments and certain policies are encountering significant resistance and produce inconsistent reactions in communities, from economic to social to political. This research lays bare the dilemma between radical structural change (rapid speed) and the shape of directions of sustainability transitions (directionality) from the socio-technical system. The conceptual framework is explored in two contrasting case studies of wind and solar power development in Mexico. One case experienced niche acceleration while the other did not, in consequence both followed different paths. The research findings indicate on how alignment dynamics between levels’ actors (niche, regime and landscape) shape niche acceleration. Strong alignment on perceptions of radical innovation between levels, will provide a momentum for rapid speed of the transition dynamics. The research is structured as follows: Section 1 focuses on methodology, research design and theory. It introduces the three perspectives on national energy transitions to set background; Section 2 covers the operationalisation and results of the research; Finally, Section 3 provides a discussion of the results and concluding remarks.

The article considers the influence of the powder-oil ratio in the composition of paste electrodes, made of composites based on glassy carbon, on their behavior in a solution (0.1 M KCl, 0.005 M K3[Fe(CN)6], 0.005 M K4[Fe(CN)6). The obtained composite nanomaterials were studied by X-ray phase analysis, transmission and scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray spectral analysis. X-ray phase analysis showed that the sample contained graphite, magnetite Fe3O4, and cementite Fe3C. The results of scanning electron microscopy showed that particles of crystalline phases formed agglomerates ranging in size from 0.1 to 3 μm. Carbon composites were crushed and sifted through a 0.05 mm sieve, after which a paste for the electrode was prepared from the resulting powder with the ratios of the composite to vacuum oil (in mg): 80 : 5, 80 : 10, 80 : 15, 80 : 20, 80 : 25, 80 : 30. Then it was stirred into a homogeneous mass and stuffed into a tubular electrode with the 3 mm diameter. Based on a comparison of the impedance spectra and voltammograms, it has been shown that the ratio of the composite to oil that is optimal for the electrode performance is 80:10 (mass). A significant drift of the properties of freshly prepared pastes has been discovered, which is excluded by keeping them for a day before use. The decisive influence of a fresh surface before each measurement has been shown.

The state of atmospheric air in urban areas is currently a problem. The assessment of the atmos-pheric characteristics of megacities and industrial agglomerations involves determination and con-trol of the current state, as well as forecasting the magnitude of surface concentrations of pollu-tants in the near future. The solution of these issues is possible on the basis of mathematical mod-eling of pollution transfer processes in the ambient air. Currently, a significant number of mathe-matical models and software complexes of varying degrees of complexity have been developed, reflecting the spread of pollutants in the atmospheric air. The developed mathematical models of the dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere of megacities do not always reflect the rapid change in the state of the ambient air in the case of adverse meteorological conditions. Ensuring regulato-ry requirements for the air quality of residential areas in the development of mathematical soft-ware models for transfer of impurities involves taking into account all sources of pollutant emis-sions in populated areas, as well as features of urban architecture and climatic conditions. The use of predictive models makes it possible to timely regulate the degree of pollution of the city air ba-sin. Approaches to mathematical modeling of spatial distribution of pollutants in the ambient air of megacities have been presented. The models of dispersion of harmful substances in a limited space of streets have been considered, the main factors necessary in the development of algorithms for the movement of polluted air masses have been reflected. The influence of geometric shapes of buildings and the underlying surface of residential areas has been noted. The results of experi-mental studies are presented, which include the reproducibility and satisfactory convergence of the revealed patterns of air pollution processes and theoretical calculations.
El orden público en el arbitraje en España
Authors: Ruiz Sánchez Pedro
Published: September 2024

En España el arbitraje se encuentra regulado en la Ley 60/2003, de 23 de diciembre, de Arbitraje (“LA”). Conforme la regulación actual del arbitraje, el laudo arbitral tiene fuerza de cosa juzgada (art. 43 LA) y es posible proceder a su ejecución forzosa por el órgano judicial competente en caso de que el laudo no se cumpla de forma voluntaria (art. 44 LA y art. 517.1.2º de la Ley 1/2000, de 7 de enero, de Enjuiciamiento Civil). Este respaldo del poder coactivo del Estado que se ha prestado al arbitraje ha conllevado que se hayan establecido mecanismos de control judicial del laudo, en concreto la acción de anulación. El orden público es un concepto jurídico que se ha establecido como uno de los motivos para solicitar la anulación del laudo que lo contraviene (art. 41.1.f] LA). Como concepto jurídico indeterminado, el concepto de orden público es susceptible de interpretación y el juzgador ha de delimitar su contenido y aplicarlo en cada caso concreto. En la presente obra se estudia el concepto de orden público en el arbitraje en España. Se analizan en primer lugar otras vertientes del orden público como concepto jurídico indeterminado: Sirve como límite a la autonomía de la voluntad y como protección ante elementos de derecho extranjero. A continuación, se analiza y estudia el orden público en el marco concreto del arbitraje. Se sostiene la aplicabilidad de las garantías del debido proceso al arbitraje y se propone una interpretación del concepto de orden público como causal de anulación del laudo ajustada a lo señalado en la Exposición de Motivos de la Ley de Arbitraje. Se persigue incrementar la confianza y seguridad jurídica en el arbitraje, contribuyendo a su consolidación en España como mecanismo de resolución de conflictos y a la elección de España como sede de arbitrajes con componente internacional.

The rapid development of information and communication technology has revolutionised many areas globally, including taxation. Worldwide, the electronic tax system (e-tax) has become a necessity. Countries aim to improve efficiency of tax administration and ease for taxpayers, by incorporating technology and going digital, in their tax systems. E-tax has notable benefits, such as simplifying tax return procedures, reducing processing time and potentially improving tax compliance. In Malaysia, the tax system has also evolved over the years, incorporating digitalization.  This is from the introduction of e-filing in 2006 and to the current rollout of e-invoicing. This evolution has enhanced tax filing among Malaysian corporate and individual taxpayers with 100 percent and 98.2 percent compliance respectively, standing among the top countries in Southeast Asia for compliance level in 2018-2019. However, several obstacles need to be overcome for the effective implementation of e-tax systems. Key issues such as lack of infrastructure, system integration, lack of digital literacy, taxpayer resistance and data security concerns are highlighted in this study. This paper then provides recommendations for policymakers and tax authorities to overcome these challenges to ensure a successful implementation of e-tax in Malaysia. The strategies include investment in infrastructure and technology, public education as well as strengthening collaboration with stakeholders.
