A Swedish and Scandinavian Perspective on Rosenblatt
Authors: Erixon Per-Olog , Malmgren Gun
Published: March 2024

The March 2005 issue of Voices from the Middle is a tribute to the life and work of Louise M. Rosenblatt, a pioneer in reading theory and the teaching of literature, who died on February 8, 2005, at age 100. Through her groundbreaking books, Literature as Exploration (1938) and The Reader, the Text, the Poem (1978/1994), and her years as a teacher, researcher, and speaker, Dr. Rosenblatt affected the thinking and teaching of generations of teachers. These pages are filled with stories and perspectives from those who knew her and learned from her, articles from those whose work has been indelibly imprinted with the principles of her theories, and excerpts from Rosenblatt’s own writing over 70 years of publishing. There is even a poignant piece from her son, Jonathan Ratner. A selected bibliography is included to encourage deeper reading.

Published: March 2024

Bugün artık çevre sorunlarının sadece ulusal bir sorun olmadığı, aksine bütün toplumları etkileyen küresel bir olgu olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Çevrenin devam eden bozulması, insanlığın karşı karşıya olduğu en ciddi sorunlardan biridir. Çok fazla çevresel yıkıma ve çevreyi korumak için atılan birçok adıma tanık olduğumuz bir çağda, temiz bir çevre için yeni bir temel hakkın tanınması gerekip gerekmediği en çok tartışılan konulardan biri haline gelmiştir. Ekim 2021 tarihinde önce Birleşmiş Milletler İnsan Hakları Konseyi 48/13 sayılı bir kararıyla ve sonrasında da Temmuz 2022 tarihinde Birleşmiş Milletler Genel Kurulu 76/300 sayılı bir kararıyla temiz, sağlıklı ve sürdürülebilir çevre hakkını bir insan hakkı olarak tanımıştır. Sağlıklı bir çevre hakkına ilişkin Birleşmiş Milletler Genel Kurulu Kararının kabul edilmesi, tanınması ve ulusal yasal çerçevelere dahil edilmesi, bu hakkın herkes tarafından etkili bir şekilde kullanılmasını sağlamak için gereken eylemin yalnızca başlangıcını temsil eder. Bundan sonra ne olacağı, Devletlerin ve işletmeler gibi diğer paydaşların yerel, bölgesel ve uluslararası düzeylerde nasıl yanıt verdiğine ve bunlara nasıl uyduğuna bağlı olacaktır. Birleşmiş Milletler Genel Kurulu’nun 76/300 sayılı Kararı temiz, sağlıklı ve sürdürülebilir çevre hakkının kabul edilmesini uzun bir yolculuğun sonu olarak sunsa da, aynı zamanda yeni bir yolculuğun da başlangıcını temsil ediyor. Bu çalışma, uluslararası alanda, Birleşmiş Milletler özelinde, çevre için bir hak arayışında katedilen yol ve bugün gelinen noktayı ele alacaktır.

LukiMat ja Mavalka: Matemaattisten taitojen tuen tarpeen tunnistaminen esiopetuksessa
Authors: Jäntti Anna-Mari , Mononen Riikka
Published: March 2024

Suomessa on käytössä vain muutamia esiopetukseen soveltuvia matemaattisten taitojen arviointivälineitä. Niiden toimivuudesta ja luotettavuudesta on vielä varsin vähän tutkimustietoa. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin kahta Suomessa yleisintä esiopetuksessa käytössä olevaa matemaattisten taitojen arviointivälinettä: LukiMat esiopetus matematiikka – Tuen tarpeen tunnistaminen ja Matemaattisten valmiuksien kartoitus 2 (Mavalka). Pyrimme selvittämään, millaisia matemaattisia taitoja lapsilla on esiopetusvuoden alussa, löytävätkö kyseiset arviointivälineet ne samat lapset, joiden matemaattiset valmiudet ovat keskimääräistä heikommat, eli osaaminen jää alle 25. persentiilin, ja millaisia osaamisprofiileja heillä on matemaattisissa osataidoissa. Lisäksi tutkittiin, miten lasten matematiikan minäkäsitys ja kiinnostus on yhteydessä matemaattiseen osaamiseen. Tutkimukseen osallistui 72 esiopetusikäistä lasta. Heille tehtiin LukiMat- ja Mavalka-arvioinnit sekä matematiikan minäkäsitystä ja kiinnostusta mittaava kysely. LukiMatin ja Mavalkan välinen yhteys osoittautui korrelaatioanalyysissä vahvaksi ja arviointivälineillä löydettiin 15 (65.2 %) taidoiltaan heikkoa samaa lasta. Jokaisen tukea tarvitsevan lapsen osaamisprofiili oli yksilöllinen, mikä korostaa eri matemaattisten osataitojen arviointia opetuksen ja tuen suuntaamiseksi. Regressioanalyysi osoitti, että minäkäsityksellä ja kiinnostuksella ei ollut yhteyttä esiopetusikäisten lasten matemaattiseen osaamiseen. Tutkimus osoitti, että LukiMat ja Mavalka ovat luotettavia arviointivälineitä esiopetusikäisten lasten matemaattisten taitojen arviointiin.

Fragmented Urbanisation in Accra
Authors: Trassinelli Michele
Published: March 2024

This paper contributes to increasing and updating the level of knowledge about the Agbogbloshie site in Accra.
Starting from the most recent decongestion activity that led to the demolition of the main e-waste recycling site, the paper aims to reconstruct the main global and local dynamics that have contributed to the construction, shaping and now reconfiguring the urban space of the site. Trough the comparison of ethnographic studies conducted on the site and the review of literature on African urbanisation, the paper identifies characteristic traits belonging to the process of urban space formation and urbanisation on the continent within the site's history.   The paper concludes that the development of Agbogbloscie can be traced both within the long-term trends of the fragmentary colonial and post-colonial urbanisation process in Accra as well as to the influence of external elements attributable to the current phase of globalisation.
With reference to the formation of the scrapyards, the paper analyses the factors that have established links between the local and global dimensions by making Agbogbloshie one of the main hubs for international e-waste traffic. Lastly, the paper traces the dynamics that led to the recent demolition of the recycling site and invites future research to reflect on the possible instrumental use by urban political authorities of the issue of environmental sustainability and economic development to re-appropriate urban spaces to the detriment of the most vulnerable citizens belonging to the informal living and working dimensions.

Hormonal control of fruitless expression and male sexual orientation in Drosophila
Authors: Ji Xiaoxiao , Wang Lin , Li Xiaolong , Li Sheng , Liu Suning , Pan Yufeng
Published: March 2024

Sex determination genes control the differentiation of gonads that synthesize and secret sex hormones to remotely control sexual development and behaviors in mammals. In contrast, sex determination genes in insects directly control sexual development and behaviors in a cell-autonomous way, which is largely independent of hormones. In this study, we find that two important hormones, juvenile hormone (JH) and 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E), oppositely regulate the dynamic expression of FruM, the male-specific product of the sex determination gene fruitless in Drosophila. 20E signaling is essential to the high-level expression of FruM proteins in the pupal stage, while JH suppresses larval FruM expression through inhibiting 20E signaling. We further show that 20E signaling regulates both the development and physiological function of the male-specific P1 neurons to mediate sexual orientation in male flies. Our results demonstrate both conserved and diversified functions of hormones in sexual development and behaviors in flies and mice.

Published: March 2024

This research explores the multifaceted nature of sexuality, emphasizing its significance in human survival and development within the context of Indonesian society. The study delves into the negative aspects associated with sexuality, particularly sexual abuse, which manifests in various forms such as harassment, exploitation, and violence. Alarming levels of sexual abuse among adolescents are highlighted, with contributing factors ranging from the circulation of pornographic content to a lack of understanding of religious values and inadequate sex education. The patriarchal domination theory is introduced to underscore the unequal power dynamics that contribute to crimes against women and children. The empirical juridical method is employed to examine the legal protection afforded to children and women in the face of sexual crimes, encompassing both preventive and repressive measures. The Child Protection Law and related regulations serve as the legal framework for this protection. The research identifies factors influencing sexual crimes, including internal factors such as psychological and mental states, external factors like economic conditions and societal influences, and the role of victims. The study concludes by emphasizing the importance of legal education and appropriate sanctions to address and prevent sexual crimes in the future.

Authors: Simamora Juniarta , Dame Panjaitan Junifer
Published: March 2024

This research explores the legal protection of children and persons with disabilities in Indonesia within the framework of human rights. The study assesses the implementation of Law No. 35 of 2014 concerning child protection and Law No. 8 of 2016 regarding disabilities. The constitutional context, incorporating human rights in the 1945 Constitution, sets the foundation for the protection of citizens' rights and obligations. While child protection laws exist, the increasing violations and challenges faced by children in various aspects of life underscore the need for an effective implementation mechanism. Additionally, the absence of derivative regulations for the Disability Law hampers its optimal enforcement, leading to uncertainties and potential rights violations for persons with disabilities. The study utilizes the Normative Juridical method, relying on secondary data through library research to analyze legal provisions and regulations. The results highlight the broad spectrum of legal protection for children, encompassing human rights, judicial processes, welfare, and protection from exploitation. Conversely, the research identifies shortcomings in the implementation of disability laws, emphasizing the crucial role of derivative regulations in ensuring effective protection for persons with disabilities. The conclusion emphasizes the need for improved government actions, collaboration, and the issuance of derivative regulations to enhance the practical realization of legal protections for both children and persons with disabilities.

Published: March 2024

Crime in Indonesia is on the rise, causing numerous victims in society, with women being particularly affected. Women, in general, are victims of various crimes, including acts of violence and sexual harassment, which is an unfortunately familiar occurrence with cases reported almost every year. Despite the prevalence of sexual harassment, Indonesian law lacks comprehensive legal consequences for perpetrators and adequate protection for victims. Consequently, this study aims to investigate the legal protection available for victims. Employing normative legal research methods within the doctrinal research typology, the study utilizes both statutory and conceptual approaches. The findings underscore the urgency of enacting criminal laws specifically addressing sexual violence cases due to their widespread occurrence in Indonesia. Developing laws that offer protection to victims and effectively address sexual violence cases is crucial for ensuring justice and safeguarding the rights of those affected.

Published: March 2024

La educación en Colombia es un desafío compartido entre el estado, la sociedad, las instituciones educativas, los docentes y los estudiantes, puesto que cada uno contribuye a conformar las estructuras que soportan una comunidad; al plantear formas de relacionarse, de resolver las tensiones entre las necesidades individuales y colectivas, se van poniendo en evidencia formas de percibirnos a nosotros mismos y a los otros. Las sociedades e instituciones educativas que se mantienen en movimiento pueden replantear sus estructuras, superando la homogeneidad que promueve la uniformidad, para dar paso a la diversidad desde un ambiente de diálogo y participación; por esto, resulta importante en esta investigación construir saberes a partir de la experiencia de maestros con la población diversa, mediante la metodología de sistematización de experiencias que facilita articular la relación entre la teoría y la práctica vivida. Finalmente, se resalta el valor de la diversidad e inclusión en la escuela y, a la vez, se revela un panorama de exclusión más amplio de lo esperado en tiempos de pandemia.

Published: March 2024

Desde hace varios años, la educación tradicional ha sido favorecida con las herramientas tecnológicas e intelectuales que nos permiten estar conectados. Sin embargo, estas tecnologías, al no tener el alcance esperado, carecen de una educación en valores y morales, de cuidado y de paz, para lograr el progreso de una cultura a una cultura de paz, por eso, hoy más que nunca necesitamos dar una nueva orientación a la educación, promoviendo no solo a lo material y lo técnico, sino también lo humano. Una cultura de paz no puede ser impuesta, deberá ser entendida y adoptada desde el interior del grupo o sociedad, que surge de la propia población y se desarrolla de acuerdo con el contexto. La presente investigación se desarrolló en un estudio cualitativo desde un paradigma transformativo mediante la investigación acción. Como objetivo general de la investigación se consideró el educar para la paz a jóvenes de educación básica para la resolución de conflictos. Algunas de las conclusiones son que, el dotar al adolescente con técnicas de resolución de conflictos, no solo le permitirá el desarrollo a lo largo de su formación educativa, sino que será de utilidad en el día a día, dentro de su contexto cotidiano.

El objetivo del presente trabajo ha sido determinar el contenido de xantinas y algunos parámetros farmacognósticos en la “yerba mate”, Ilex paraguariensis A. St.-Hil. var. paraguariensis (Aquifoliaceae). Para ello se recolectaron muestras de tres zonas de cultivo en el Departamento de Itapúa, Paraguay. Las muestras se secaron y molieron hasta obtener un polvo para el análisis de su contenido en xantina por TLC, HPLC y UHPLC-QTof. También se determinó el contenido de humedad, cenizas totales y cenizas insolubles en ácido. Se detectaron tanto cafeína (1,23 %) como teobromina (0,13 %). Se encontró que las muestras contenían una humedad promedio de 6,87 %, cenizas totales 5,80 % y cenizas insolubles en ácido 0,87 %. Este es el primer reporte de estos parámetros en hojas de “yerba mate” cultivada en Paraguay.

CLEAN ENERGY COOPERATION BETWEEN CHINA AND CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE UNDER THE “BELT AND ROAD” FRAMEWORK: PROSPECTS AND COOPEARTIVE PATHS
Authors: He Jiawen , Yi Qin
Published: March 2024

Central and Eastern Europe, in the heartland of Eurasia, is an important region for the mutual construction of the “Belt and Road”, and also a key region for foreign cooperation of China’s energy industry. According to the renewable energy development goals of Central and Eastern European countries, the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption will increase to more than 25% by 2030. The renewable energy will become one of the important routes to achieve energy transformation and clean emissions in Central and Eastern Europe. At present, the proportion of renewable energy consumption in some Central and Eastern European countries is still significantly lower than the EU’s 2030 target; therefore, the pace of energy transformation will be further accelerated. Since China has advanced technology and rich experience in wind power, hydro-power, photovoltaic, nuclear power and other clean energy fields, it can cooperate with Central and Eastern European countries in green energy project development, smart grid, engineering construction, pipe network construction and other fields. The cooperation between the two sides is highly complementary, conforms to the theme of the era of global sustainable development, vigorously promoting the green development of the “Belt and Road”, and consolidating the people-to-people bond of jointly building the “Belt and Road”. This study focuses on the energy development trend of China and Central and Eastern European countries, explores the cooperation paths of the two sides in the energy field, and puts forward targeted reference suggestions for further deepening cooperation between the two sides.
JOHN BELL’S REPRESENTATION OF THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CHINA AND THE WEST
Authors: Petkov Pavel
Published: March 2024

The article focuses on some of the comparisons between China and the West on the pages of John Bell’s travel account. Regardless of how neutral or non-judgmental John Bell strives to be, his travel account contains a number of such comparisons. The majority of these are implicit and deserving of examination as well, but in this article I discuss some of those that are direct because they are the most striking and indicative of the British author’s attitude towards the East.
THE CONSTRUCTION AND INTERPRETATION OF ESP TEACHING ECOLOGICAL CHAIN SYSTEM – AN QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS BASED ON GROUNDED THEORY
Authors: Lai Xiaochun , Zhang Xiufang , Zhang Li
Published: March 2024

Based on the grounded theory, this research carries on in-depth content analysis and documents encoding core theses in ESP teaching from the CSSCI databases and constructs an ESP teachingнecological chain system by applying the teaching ecological theories, which involves the ESP teaching ecology, teachers’ ecology, teaching material ecology and ESP external environment. The ecological theories like the holistic association effect, flowerpots effect, limiting factor, dynamic balance, law of tolerance, etc. are used to explain this ESP teaching chain system. The suggestions and implications are that ESP teaching can be implemented moderately in a dynamic balance by exploring the evolving teaching factors from the overall relevant perspective, breaking the flowerpots effect and finding the limiting factors.

Hvordan fastholdes tilliden under samfundskriser?
Authors: Bang Petersen Michael
Published: March 2024

Coronapandemien er en af de mest alvorlige globale kriser i nyere tid. Forskellige lande håndterede krisen med varieret succes, og en overraskende vigtig faktor i den henseende var graden af tillid til hinanden og til myndighederne i det pågældende land. Jo højere tillid, jo færre tilfælde af COVID-19. I denne artikel diskuteres betydningen af social og politisk tillid for håndteringen af en samfundskrise, og det diskuteres, hvordan myndigheder og politikere bevarer den nødvendige tillid, når en krise bryder ud. Artiklen tager afsæt i forskning under coronapandemien, men konsekvenserne for det bredere moderne kriseberedskab diskuteres afslutningsvist.
