Time Series-Based Spoof Speech Detection Using Long Short-Term Memory and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory
Authors: Mirza Arsalan R. , Al-Talabani Abdulbasit K.
Published: September 2024

Detecting fake speech in voice-based authentication systems is crucial for reliability. Traditional methods often struggle because they can't handle the complex patterns over time. Our study introduces an advanced approach using deep learning, specifically Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Bidirectional LSTM (BiLSTM) models, tailored for identifying fake speech based on its temporal characteristics. We use speech signals with cepstral features like Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC), Constant Q cepstral coefficients (CQCC), and open-source Speech and Music Interpretation by Large-space Extraction (OpenSMILE) to directly learn these patterns. Testing on the ASVspoof 2019 Logical Access dataset, we focus on metrics such as min-tDCF, Equal Error Rate (EER), Recall, Precision, and F1-score. Our results show that LSTM and BiLSTM models significantly enhance the reliability of spoof speech detection systems.
Assessing Oestrogenic Effects of Brominated Flame Retardants Hexabromocyclododecane and Tetrabromobisphenol A on MCF-7 Cells
Authors: Dorosh A. , Děd L. , Elzeinová F. , Pěknicová Jana
Published: September 2024

Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) is the main flame retardant used in printed circuit boards and laminates. The human population is highly exposed to TBBPA as it is used in consumer electronics as well as office and communication equipment. The main use of hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) is in insulation foam boards, which are widely used in the construction sector. Brominated flame retardants may possess endocrine disrupting activity and thus represent a threat to the environment, including humans and their reproduction. The aim of this work was to evaluate the oestrogenic effects of TBBPA and HBCD in vitro on MCF-7 cells. We used the proliferation test (E-screen assay) in MCF-7 breast cancer cells and reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis of TFF1 gene expression to analyse oestrogenicity of the studied compounds. RT-qPCR has proved to be a fast and valuable molecular technique in gene expression quantification. HBCD but not TBBPA increased cell proliferation in MCF-7 cells and up-regulated TFF1 gene expression in a concentration-dependent manner. Anti-oestrogen ICI 182,780 inhibited up-regulation of TFF1 by HBCD. We have shown that HBCD displays oestrogen-like effects on MCF-7 cells. TBBPA, on the other hand, has not shown any oestrogenic effect mediated by the oestrogen receptor α.

Towards a Multilingual School Library
The new curriculum for primary schools in Norway underlines that knowledge of several languages is a resource both in school and society, and that the pupils should experience this through their education. In this article we investigate the school library as a multilingual arena, based on a study with a linguistically and culturally diverse pupil group. The material contains observation data from library activities, such as book talks and reading aloud, a semi-structured interview with the school librarian, and photo documentation of the school library room. We base the analysis on an overall perspective on the school library as a schoolscape (Brown). Hence we are interested in the linguistic-visual interior of the school library, as well as the literary and pedagogical activities that take place there. The article investigates how language diversity emerges both in the school library’s semiotic landscape and in various reading activities. Overall, the analysis shows that linguistic diversity appears to be valued on a general level, but that the specific languages of the pupil and teacher groups are represented to a lesser degree in the schoolscape. The analysis also identifies a number of framework factors, including at system levels, such as access to multilingual literature, which clearly hinder the school librarian’s work in developing the library’s multilingual collection.

Managing Uncertainty in the Literature Classroom: Linda Bondestam’s Climate Change Picturebook Mitt bottenliv in Literary Education
Children’s literature on environmental matters puts great responsibility on its readers to solve future environmental problems. Similarly, in an educational context, there are underlying premises that the students should be fostered into environmental awareness, at the risk of climate fiction solely becoming “teaching aids”, providing clear-cut solutions to the climate crisis. In this article, I seek to address these premises by analysing Linda Bondestam’s climate picturebook Mitt bottenliv: Av en ensam axolotl (My Life at the Bottom: The Story of a Lonesome Axolotl, 2020) in relation to literary education. In Bondestam’s picturebook, human consumerism causes an apocalypse but an endangered axolotl survives and thrives. The aim of the article is to discuss the complexity of Mitt bottenliv in relation to literary education. In the analysis, the key concepts are “didactic gaps” (Beauvais) and “staying with the trouble” (Haraway). The article explores what it can entail to stay with the trouble in relation to uncertainty in literary education. Mitt bottenliv can hardly be said to provide clear-cut solutions for the climate crisis. Rather, the complexity of the picturebook creates an ambiguity in the didactic gaps, and an uncertainty to be managed within the context of literary education. This ambiguity enables the reader to stay with the trouble in relation to the picturebook as well as the environmental troubles we are facing, without placing the responsibility of the future upon the reader. Consequently, the article draws attention to the potential of complex picturebooks in literary education, as well as to literary education as a means of managing uncertainty.
Reading Practices with Multilingual Children in Norwegian Kindergartens
Authors: Tunkiel Katarzyna A. , Dyrkorn Fodstad Cecilie , Hoel Trude
Published: September 2024

One in five children in Norwegian kindergartens are multilingual, and reading practices that encourage the use of multilinguals’ entire linguistic repertoire can serve as important opportunities for language sharing, which is also encouraged by the Norwegian education authorities. In this study, we initially aimed to explore kindergarten reading practices involving languages other than Norwegian. When it became clear that such practices are rare, we expanded our investigation to include early childhood teachers’ experiences of reading with multilingual children more broadly. Our data sources consist of both self-reported data from a nationwide survey on reading practices in Norwegian kindergartens and six semi-structured focus group interviews with kindergarten staff. As reading in Norwegian kindergartens appears to occur in a space between kindergarten children’s right to meaningful experiences in different languages and their need to learn Norwegian, we shed light on what early childhood teachers highlight as central resources for reading with multilinguals. The key resources that emerge in the analyses encompass different forms of expression, hence multimodality is used as the overarching theoretical perspective in the study. Additionally, we discuss how good opportunities for promoting diverse reading practices become evident when kindergarten staff demonstrate curiosity, creativity, and a problem-solving approach to reading with multilinguals.
The BCL11A transcription factor stimulates the enzymatic activities of the OGG1 DNA glycosylase
Authors: Petrachkova Tetiana , Soldatkina Olha , Leduy Lam , Nepveu Alain
Published: September 2024

The BCL11A transcription factor has previously been shown to interact with and stimulate the enzymatic activities of the NTHL1 DNA glycosylase and Pol β polymerase. Here we show that BCL11A and a smaller peptide encompassing amino acids 160 to 520 can interact with the 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase, OGG1, increase the binding of OGG1 to DNA that contains an 8-oxoguanine base and stimulate the glycosylase activity of OGG1. Following BCL11A knockdown, we observed an increase in oxidized purines in the genome using comet assays, while immunoassays reveal an increase in 8-oxoG bases. Structure-function analysis indicates that the stimulation of OGG1 by BCL11A requires the zinc fingers 1, 2 and 3 as well as the proline-rich region between the first and second zing finger, but a glutamate-rich region downstream of zinc finger 3 is dispensable. Ectopic expression of a small peptide that contains the three zinc fingers can rescue the increase in 8-oxoguanine caused by BCL11A knockdown. These findings, together with previous results showing that BCL11A stimulates the enzymatic activities of NTHL1 and the Pol β polymerase, suggest that high expression of BCL11A is important to protect cancer cells against oxidative DNA damage.

Breaking Down the Wall: The Effect of Immigration Enforcement and Nonprofit Services on Undocumented Student Academic Performance
Authors: Hawes Daniel P. , Chand Daniel E. , Calderon Maria Apolonia
Published: September 2024

Much of public administration and nonprofit research centers on issues of race and gender, but citizenship remains underdeveloped for a variety of reasons, especially due to a lack of data on the undocumented community. The first research aim of this study is to identify how immigration enforcement affects undocumented student performance. The second contribution is to understand the effect of how legal service provision by immigrant-serving nonprofits comes into play. Theoretically, these services work toward helping buffer the negative implications of community arrests and deportations on student performance. We test our theoretical arguments using a unique dataset comprised of student-level performance metrics of 2 million Latino students – including nearly 225,000 undocumented students – in Texas public schools. These data are merged with county and district-level data that reflect the level of immigrant deportations and the presence of immigrant-serving nonprofits (ISOs) in their communities. This research finds that immigration enforcement negatively impacts undocumented student performance. Furthermore, ISOs can help limit these effects and improve educational performance.
Epistemological Determinants of Cognition of Subject Security
Authors:   University of Siedlce, Glen Andrzej
Published: September 2024

The article addresses the issue of usefulness of pyramid and boat epistemological metaphors in the process of cognition in security sciences, with the aim of creating a coherent epistemological theory of subject security. This usefulness was examined for the sake of the basic components of epistemology: the truth and its sources, the scope of cognition, and the specificity of the subject of cognition – subject security. A deductive method with syllogistic drawing of conclusions leading to the solution of the general problem and the probability of the working hypothesis was used. As a result, it was established that understanding the truth and its sources, methods of finding the truth, and determining the scope of cognition of subject security are supported by an epistemology subordinated to the boat metaphor. This metaphor allows for a less fundamental, but more systemic, look at the subject security. The holistic nature of the boat metaphor results from the overlapping of concepts (parts of the planking) built on the skeleton, the core of which is formed by the axiology of the security of the subject (keel), and the shape is given by ontology, epistemology, and methodology of the security of the subject (frames) and paradigms (stringers).
Foreign Policy: A Study on Post-2022 U.S. Midterm Elections and Implications for NATO and European Partners
Authors:   Pomeranian University in Słupsk, Poland, Grunt Maciej
Published: September 2024

This scholarly investigation critically examines the determinants leading to shifts in U.S. foreign policy post the 2022 midterm elections. The research encompasses a comprehensive analysis of domestic political influences, consequential legislative shifts, and disparate stances adopted by different political actors. Through a meticulous inspection, it seeks to explicate potential repercussions of such alterations for NATO and European affiliates. The evolving U.S. position, and its impacts on the strategic geopolitical landscape, defense prerogatives, and alliance collaboration mechanisms are evaluated. The study further aims to deepen the understanding of the interplay between domestic politics and foreign policy, accentuating the significant influence of political transitions on global alliances and strategic partnerships. Anticipated findings are projected to contribute to the academic literature on U.S. foreign policy dynamics and the subsequent implications for NATO and European counterparts. Additionally, valuable insights expected from this research may provide strategic guidance for policymakers, academics, and stakeholders vested in deciphering the complex relationships between domestic politics, midterm elections, and ensuing alterations in foreign policy. Ultimately, this study enriches the understanding of the evolving transatlantic scenario and the impact of political metamorphoses on international diplomacy and collaboration.
Features of Self-Perception and Perception of Life Chances of the Russian Ethnic Minority in Latvia in the Context of National Security Humanitarian Aspects of the Security of a Multi-Ethnic Society in Latvia
Authors:   Baltic International Academy, Latvia, Buka Stanislav , Volkov Vladislav ,   Baltic International Academy, Latvia
Published: September 2024

The purpose of the article is to consider the problems of self-perception and perception of life chances of the Russian ethnic minority in the context of the national security of Latvia. The concept of the humanitarian aspects of national security in Latvia is based on the normative understanding of the Latvian nation, the goals and objectives of nation building. In the situation of complex ethnic composition, the leading political forces of the country associate the guarantee of national security with the formation of a single national identity, which implies a subordinate position of the identity of ethnic minorities in relation to the identity of Latvians. At the same time, Latvian legislation contains norms on guaranteeing the equality of people regardless of their ethnic origin. Thus, the subordination of the identity of ethnic minorities in relation to the identity of ethnic Latvians should not lead to the subordination of the life chances of the ethnic majority and ethnic minorities. At the same time, the materials of a sociological study show that Russian youth perceive fewer opportunities for their life chances than they see among ethnic Latvians, which indicates a significant degree of insecurity among this groups of society.

The Central African region is known to be one of the most intensive growth and dangerous at same time regions in Africa. Therefore, this research focuses on the Democratic Republic of the Congo due to its large potential in mineral resources and aims to clarify the safety management situation at the mining industry. The paper examines the leading producer of copper in Africa and cobalt, situated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Nevertheless, it is also noted that the Democratic Republic of the Congo has a high percentage of children exploiting the copper and cobalt mines, a phenomenon occasioned by the current social and economic inequalities experienced by the DRC. This study will help clarify the situation of safety management systems in the mining industry and can be used by companies entering the emerging market.
Belt and Road Initiative in View of the Polish Press
Authors:   Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, China, Wroclaw University of Economics and Business, Poland, Pawlik Jakub M. , Qing Xie Hui ,   Mahasarakham University, Thailand
Published: September 2024

This study analysed how the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is presented in the Polish press through language use in media discourse based on Jef Verschueren’s Language Adaptation Theory and corpus analysis. Antconc software has been used to distinguish the frequency of lexemes and expressions. The complexity of the Polish language and contexts require manual verification of the results. The number of writings about Belt and Road projects is fairly small. The sample consists of 103 articles categorised into four groups: general press, political press, education institution press, and business press. Articles refer to the period of 2015–2019, as the recent three years of the COVID-19 and war in Ukraine took the press’ focus away from the BRI. Corpus analysis shows a positive approach to the Best and Road Initiative dominates all press groups. Most lexemes are equally dispersed among all press categories with a slight predominance of caution suggested by authors in education institution press. The hypothesis was further confirmed in the light of Verschueren’s Theory, where the study presents examples of press language as a dynamic process of mutual adaptation between linguistic structure and context, at different levels of salience.
Вопросы завоевания и ликвидации Гарабагского ханства в современной историографии
Authors:   НАН Азербайджана, Азербайджан, Искендерова Марзия
Published: September 2024

The article provides a historiographical analysis of the issues of the conquest and dissolution of the Garabagh Khanate in the works of modern researchers. The strategic position of the Garabagh Khanate and the presence of five melikdoms on its territory contributed to the substantiation in modern historiography of the significance of the Garabagh Khanate in Tsarist policy towards the South Caucausus, and the variety of ways to implement Russia’s aggressive plans for the Garabagh Khanate. In the studies, there is a common opinion about the forced signing of the Kurakchay Treaty by the Garabagh ruler. The consideration by the authors of the conditions of the Kurakchay treaty and the dissolution of the Garabagh Khanate became an image of the Russian government’s policy focus. A kind of culmination of the latter was the resettlement policy of tsarism. Ethno-demographic changes in Garabagh as a result of Tsarist resettlement policy, which suggests the strategic importance of this region to Russia, made it possible to observe shared elements in the opinions. There is a general consensus among most researchers regarding the goals of this Policy aimed at increasing the number of Armenians in Garabagh to create a stronghold of Christianity. The works by modern historians considered in the article, in turn, have revealed a new approach to this subject matter, free of opportunistic concepts, and brought to tight the essence of Russias policy in the Garabagh Khanate, that Russia used all methods available to conquer this region and the South Caucasus, which has remained Russia’s center of interest.
The Grand Strategy of President Ilham Aliyev as the Foreign Policy Foundation of Azerbaijan’s Victory in the Second Karabakh War
Authors:   Baku Slavic University, Azerbaijan, Akbarova Aygun Famil
Published: September 2024

The growing geopolitical dynamics in the South Caucasus and the Caspian Black Sea basin region and the role of Azerbaijan as an undisputed regional leader in this space appear to be an urgent trend in international relations. Azerbaijan is not a member of either NATO or the CSTO, fighting for leadership in this region. But at the same time, Azerbaijan is successfully developing bilateral and multilateral relations with the participating states of these military-political alliances. Armenia, as a member of the CSTO, and Georgia, which has officially included the goal of joining NATO in the Basic Laws of their country, to a certain extent, can produce a degree of inter-bloc competition to solve their own problems. Azerbaijan can objectively reduce the risks of geopolitical tension in the region by promoting a peaceful cooperation agenda through inter-block communication. Under the leadership of the President of Azerbaijan, Supreme Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev, Azerbaijan was the first in the post-Soviet space to resolve an interstate conflict within the framework of international law. Systemic and structural-functional methods are used in the geopolitical, geostrategic and geo-economic analysis of the role of Azerbaijan in the studied region, the development and implementation of the Grand Strategy of President Ilham Aliyev and the main directions of national geoengineering at the present stage of development of Azerbaijan. The comparative method is used to analyse the main trends in international relations based on the study of international, international legal, and foreign documents and materials.
How is the Rani of Jhansi Memorised in the History of the Nineteenth-Century India? Selection of Historical Accounts
Authors:   Uniwersytet Warszawski, Polska, Tomczyk Agnieszka
Published: September 2024

The article examines the visual sources and historical first-hand accounts depicting Rani Lakshmi Bai, the queen of the princely state of Jhansi, who became a symbol of Indian resistance against British rule during the 1857–1858 struggle for freedom. The study covers the colonial period of Indian history. The paper’s main argument is that there are differences in the representation of Rani by British and Indian authors. Within their narratives, Indian writers favourably present the queen, while the British tend to show her less flattering portrayal. Concentrating on visual sources, the study analyses Rani’s figure by looking at two stages of her life: the youth and the time of the revolt. The article also focuses on the queen’s image in the contemporary political discourse. The paper is based on a qualitative approach emphasising historical perspective. Therefore, it analyses the printed materials, including archival primary sources. Based on a postcolonial literature review, the use of British and Indian sources is comparative.
History Issues of Japan in Politics and Education
Authors:   Uniwersytet Łódzki, Poland, Rogoziecka Paulina
Published: September 2024

Many scholars have researched Japan’s historical issues, connected to politics and education. Nevertheless, they mostly studied one issue from one perspective, such as international law or human rights. As a part of ongoing doctoral thesis research, this paper aims to discern if and how the historical issues and the Japanese government’s stance on those issues changed between 1982 and 2022 and interacted with each other. By comparing official statements with textbook contents on historical issues, the connection between them can bring a fuller understanding of Japan’s historical policy as a system. This paper hypothesises that history politics indirectly influences education policies and textbook writing. At this stage of research, it can be concluded that there are numerous historical issues recognised as such by Japan, but recognition has been an effect of other actors’ claims. Various actors have made those claims at opportune times, using history as a tool. Nonetheless, policy and statements by politicians and overall discernible history politics, such as counterclaims on particular issues, seem to have at least some correlation with the contents of textbooks. Further research into those connections may better understand Japan’s history politics as a system and how they influence history education.
INTERSECCIONALIDADE: Teoria e método na compreensão das inter-relações entre sujeitos e sistemas opressivos
Authors: Rodrigues Marília , Miranda Alves Iolanda , Augusto Monteiro Nadesda
Published: September 2024

A interseccionalidade tem sido usada em muitos estudos relacionados aos direitos humanos, sua forma abrangente de categorizar diversas formas de descrição tem chamado atenção principalmente das autoras negras no que diz respeito ao marcador social da diferença. O trabalho apresenta como objetivo principal investigar como as interseções entre discriminação de gênero, raça, etnia, sexualidade e território influenciam as inter-relações entre os sujeitos, formadas pelas estruturas estruturantes que perpetuam sistemas opressivos, pensando a aplicabilidade desta metodologia em três pesquisas sociológicas. . Para tanto, exploramos o conceito de interseccionalidade tanto como conceito teórico ao mesmo tempo em que adotamos a interseccionalidade como método investigativo para auxiliar nas discussões sobre a subordinação de corpos não hegemônicos. Os sujeitos opressores compreendem suas ações e as utilizam dentro de uma lógica de permanência de obrigações e manutenção da ordem, em substituição aos sujeitos oprimidos ao reagirem também o fazem racionalmente? Para isto, fazemos um levantamento bibliográfico com autoras clássicas nos estudos interseccionais, como as estadunidenses Patrícia Hill Collins, Kimberle Crenshaw e Angela Davis e as brasileiras Lélia Gonzalez, Sueli Carneiro e Carla Akotirene. Ao tentar criar um diálogo também entre as pesquisas que cada uma de nós fará no doutorado em Sociologia, refletiremos a aplicação da metodologia interseccional em pesquisas nossas que se encontram na revisão bibliográfica.
CONSENTIMENTO: CONCEITOS E PARTICULARIDADES EM TRÊS PESQUISAS SOBRE SEXUALIDADE E VIOLÊNCIA
Authors: Campos Carla Beatriz , Mota Cláudia , De Brito Thays Christina
Published: September 2024

Neste trabalho, almeja-se discutir e problematizar o conceito de “consentimento” a partir de três pesquisas distintas que se debruçam sobre questões de sexualidade e violência. Carla Campos utiliza dados de sua pesquisa de mestrado, uma etnografia em um serviço de saúde especializado em IST-HIV/Aids, e se atém ao relato de uma interlocutora que resume sua trajetória no mercado do sexo com a frase: “eu escolhi, mas eu não aceito”. Ela argumenta que a experiência na prostituição não pode ser medida apenas pelo consentimento, ainda que este seja relevante. Cláudia Mota problematiza o conceito e a contextualização da exploração sexual de crianças e adolescentes, a partir de casos criminais julgados pelo Tribunal de Justiça do Distrito Federal e Territórios – TJDFT.  Thays Brito, a partir da sua pesquisa ainda em desenvolvimento, argumenta que o consentimento está diretamente vinculado ao que se reconhece como violência sexual, contribuindo para a invisibilização do estupro marital, no contexto de uma estrutura social colonial, machista e patriarcal. As três pesquisas buscam evidenciar a complexidade e a fragilidade do conceito de consentimento, definido a partir de um ideal moderno de sujeito, diante das realidades sociais estudadas. A partir disso, visa-se problematizar “consentimento” como um conceito chave para a compreensão da violência sexual e de gênero, cuja repercussão se nota nos processos de Estado e de produção da lei, bem como na análise de desigualdades.
DINÂMICAS DAS POLÍTICAS DE COTAS NAS UNIVERSIDADES ESTADUAIS DA REGIÃO SUDESTE DO BRASIL: REFLEXOS SOBRE A DIVERSIDADE ESTUDANTIL
Authors: Dias André Luiz
Published: September 2024

O presente artigo analisa as dinâmicas das políticas de cotas raciais nas universidades estaduais da região Sudeste do Brasil, com foco em Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo. Essas políticas, inicialmente implementadas no início dos anos 2000, visam promover a inclusão racial e combater desigualdades históricas no ensino superior. A partir de uma análise crítica, são explorados os avanços alcançados, bem como as limitações persistentes, como a evasão de estudantes cotistas e a sub-representação da população negra (pretos e pardos) em diversas instituições. O estudo aponta para desafios relacionados à falta de dados completos e à efetividade das políticas de permanência estudantil, destacando que as cotas, por si só, não são suficientes para garantir a equidade racial. São abordadas questões como racismo institucional, barreiras acadêmicas e suporte financeiro inadequado, que continuam a impactar a trajetória dos estudantes negros. Conclui-se que, apesar dos progressos, ainda é necessário aprimorar e expandir as políticas de ação afirmativa para promover uma inclusão mais ampla e duradoura.
DA LUTA POR ABORTO LEGAL A UMA ÉTICA DO RISCO: O ACOMPANHAMENTO FEMINISTA AO ABORTO NO CONTEXTO DAS LUTAS CONTEMPORÂNEAS E DECOLONIAIS POR JUSTIÇA REPRODUTIVA
Authors: Bleil Gallo Mel
Published: September 2024

Neste trabalho, busco situar a emergência de um dispositivo do acompanhamento feminista ao aborto no interior de uma situação estratégica complexa, em que múltiplas relações de poder se codificam para dar lugar ao atual conjunto de narrativas e políticas sobre sexualidade e reprodução. Inspirada na proposta foucaultiana de uma analítica do poder, busquei observar como o dispositivo do acompanhamento desentrama e desafia dispositivos de sexualidade, da maternidade, da racialidade e da colonialidade operados pelo biopoder, no contexto neoliberal. Para tanto, realizei uma etnografia multissituada junto a coletivas de acompanhantes de aborto na América Latina e Caribe, entre 2016 e 2021. Argumento que, ao posicionarem o acompanhamento ao aborto enquanto um ato político coletivo de ação direta, as acompanhantes feministas constroem alternativas de ativismo por justiça reprodutiva, para além das lutas pela legalização do aborto ou das políticas de redução de danos. As reflexões aqui apresentadas emergem de um conjunto de narrativas que se transformam e são vividas nas variadas experiências de resistência de acompanhantes de aborto, para quem abortar é um ato político e acompanhar, também.
DAS LUTAS ANTICOLONIAIS À INTEGRAÇÃO ECONÔMICA E DEMOCRÁTICA: UMA ANÁLISE DO PAN-AFRICANISMO E DA AGENDA 2063
Authors: Barbosa Azevedo Luísa , França Vitória
Published: September 2024

O Pan-Africanismo como ideal de união dos povos africanos, tornou-se base ideológica para integração e desenvolvimento socioeconômico da África. Tendo essa ideia como pilar, a União Africana (UA), busca balancear desafios sociopolíticos com a luta anticolonial desde sua formação até a contemporaneidade. Nesse contexto, a Agenda 2063, lançada em 2015, compreende um plano de desenvolvimento continental de longo prazo com objetivos de integração política e econômica. A partir de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, este trabalho tem por objetivo compreender os desafios contemporâneos relacionados à iniciativa Pan-Africanista de um continente integrado a partir do marco da Agenda 2063. Fundamentado em uma análise de natureza qualitativa e interpretativa, este projeto parte de um estudo detalhado de fontes primárias e secundárias. Como marco teórico será utilizado o Pós-Colonialismo, visto sua relação direta com a abordagem Pan-Africanista de emancipação e autodeterminação dos povos africanos. Ambos os movimentos promovem uma interpretação inclusiva e holística da integração econômica e democrática africana frente aos desafios do passado colonial. A hipótese de que as políticas de integração econômica e democrática, de acordo com a Agenda 2063, potencializam a perspectiva Pan-Africanista ao alinhar as estratégias de desenvolvimento dos países africanos com uma visão compartilhada de unidade e progresso. No entanto, cabe ressaltar que essas são conclusões parciais e que uma análise mais aprofundada é necessária para compreender o impacto da UA na promoção da integração democrática e econômica na África.
