A Supplement to the White Man's Burden: Lobo Antunes, History, the Colonial Wars, and the April Revolution
Authors: Madureira Luís
Published: July 2024

Abstract: This essay opens with an examination of Portuguese novels about the colonial wars which seek to expose the referential emptiness of the Salazarist imperial mystique, and present its “civilizing mission” as an example of the very un-Historicity which Hegel notoriously ascribes to Africa. Such texts arguably employ “postcolonial” strategies of reading empire. It is precisely this gesture that Lobo Antunes refuses to perform. His fiction suggests that to try to link the protagonist's colonial story with Angola’s narrative of resistance would only confirm his complicity with the colonial project. By the same token, the April Revolution appears bereft of historical meaning, reduced to one in an infinite chain of exchangeable signifiers mobilized to name a desire for totality that cannot but fall short of its object. In Antunes's fiction, Portugal’s quest for universality seems as illusory as the estadonovista yearning for the resurgence of an etiolated imperial glory.

Sexual Difference and Gender Dysphoria in Eça de Queirós's "O Primo Basílio" and "O crime do Padre Amaro"
Authors: Sabine Mark
Published: July 2024

Abstract: In this study of O Primo Basílio and O crime do Padre Amaro, Mark Sabine reinvestigates Eça de Queirós’s discussion of the upbringing, social role, and sexual behavior of Portuguese women in his first two Realist novels. Drawing on recent scholarship that has approached this subject from psychoanalytic and revolutionary Marxist-feminist angles, it considers the novels in the context of the extensive medical, scientific and philosophical debates of the “woman question” that were precipitated in Great Britain by the publication of J.S. Mill’s The Subjection of Women (1869). The article indicates echoes of Mill’s ideas in Eça’s critique of the upbringing of Portuguese daughters and discusses how Eça’s two novels present a subtle conception of gender not as an inherent biological characteristic but as a socially constructed, and multiple—rather than binary—identity system.

Macau in Chinese Foreign Policy during the Cultural Revolution, 1966-1968
Authors: Fernandes Moisés Silva
Published: July 2024

Abstract: Despite the abrupt collapse of Portuguese power in Macau and the political turmoil that engulfed China during the Cultural Revolution, the Chinese leadership did its utmost from 1966 to 1968 to keep Macau under Portuguese administration. China intervened politically and militarily to prevent the fall of the Portuguese administration in 1966 and signed an agreement with the Macau Portuguese administration to settle the crisis on 29 January 1967. However, the ongoing political crisis back in mainland China contributed to further political instability throughout 1967. Beijing became so apprehensive with the precarious situation in the tiny enclave that it had to intervene once again in 1968 to restore the status quo ante.
Camões revisitado na visão mitopoética de Manuel Alegre
Authors: Fonseca Pedro Carlos Louzada
Published: July 2024

Abstract: This comparative study traces the formal and substantive influence of Camões’s sonnets and some passages from Os Lusíadas (1572) on Manuel Alegre’s Com que pena (1992). Using the concepts of dialogism, intertextuality, and mythopoetics, it aims to demonstrate that contemporary Portuguese poetry, as exemplified by Alegre, undertakes a formally and thematically revisionist approach to the classical Camonian model. In Alegre’s work, this task of reinterpretation is directed at a legitimation of his poetry through an alignment with the literary value represented by Camões and with the central themes of Portuguese literary and cultural history.
Aleijadinho, the 'Baroque Hero,' and Brazilian Nationality
Authors: De Grammont Guiomar
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT: This  article  discusses  the  various  discourses  that  established  Antonio  Francisco  Lisboa,  known  as  “Aleijadinho,”  as  a  cultural  hero  who  anticipated  a  supposed  “Brazilian  cultural  identity.”  This  myth,  constructed  as  a  biographical  fiction  in  the  nineteenth  century,  was  later  re-appropriated  as  historical  evidence  in  a  number  of  programs  in  the  history  of  thought  regarding  the  arts  and  letters  in  Brazil.  In  the  nineteenth  and  twentieth  centuries,  these  programs  proposed  their  own  interpretations  of  the  works  attributed  to  Aleijadinho,  mobilizing  notions  of  race,  environment,  psychology,  art  and  politics  that  were  not  documented  at  the  time  of  the  works’  creation.  This  article  is  concerned  with  the  material,  institutional  and  rhetorical  conditionings  of  artistic  production  in  the  eighteenth  century,  in  order  to  provide  evidence  for  the  argument  that  the  term  “Baroque,”  and  the  psychologizing  and  expressive  categories  associated  with  it  in  many  of  these  discourses,  are in fact external to the actual effective practices of Luso-Brazilian artists at that time.

"You Don't Invent Anything": Memory and the Patterns of Fiction in Lobo Antunes's Works
Authors: Cammaert Felipe
Published: July 2024

Abstract: The main purpose of this article is to study the evolution of the concept of fiction through different stages of Lobo Antunes’s writings. The argument stems from the idea that these stages are built on a structured logic of memory. Imagination, which is considered as the specificity that distinguishes fiction from history or facts, has a fundamental role in these “memory narratives.” The article seeks to review the relationship between fiction, imagination, and memory in order to define the configuration of Antunes’s fictional universe. The analysis of the fictional universe that is stated here suggests three principal variants: an autobiographical pattern; a polyphonic pattern; and a poetic pattern. As a result, the article hopes to achieve the distinction of fiction in the works of Lobo Antunes.

The strategic use of polymer composites in aerospace engineering has influenced aircraft and spacecraft design and manufacturing. This abstract summarizes the fundamental principles, key components, and significance of polymer composites in aerospace applications. Polymer composites are formed of a matrix material (generally a polymer resin) reinforced with high-strength fibres like carbon, glass, or aramid. This combination gives the composite superior mechanical properties, such as high strength-to-weight ratio, stiffness, and resistance to fatigue and corrosion. Such properties make polymer composites ideal for aerospace structures where lightweight construction and exceptional performance are critical. Polymer composites are widely used in aerospace to reduce weight, improve fuel efficiency, and strengthen structural integrity in structural components such as wings, empennages, and fuselages. They are also essential to propulsion systems, interior structures, and thermal protection systems, which emphasizes their adaptability and versatility to a wide range of aerospace applications. The use of polymer composites in aerospace has driven improvements in manufacturing processes, including automated resin transfer molding and fibre placement, making it possible to produce intricate composite structures with extreme efficiency and precision. Furthermore, engineers can maximize component performance while adhering to strict aerospace regulations and safety standards thanks to the design flexibility provided by polymer composites.Further study attempts to boost the capabilities and characteristics of polymer composites, such as better resistance to damage, durability to impacts, and durability in extreme conditions. The invention of the next-generation aerospace vehicles that can meet the changing needs of space exploration and transportation looks promising as a result of this ongoing innovation.

Impact of Paraphrasing Strategy on Mathematical Problem-Solving Skills and Performance: Exploring Their Interrelationship
Authors: Delideli Jay
Published: July 2024

This quasi-experimental study was conducted to determine the impact of paraphrasing strategy on the mathematical problem-solving skills and mathematics performance of first-year college students while also exploring the interrelationship between these skills and performance. The 40 participants of this study were randomly assigned into the experimental and control groups following the pre-test and post-test equivalent group design. The instruments used were the Mathematical Problem-Solving Skills Inventory by Chirinda (2013) and a researcher-made performance test. Statistical analyses were the independent sample t-test, paired sample t-test, and Pearson r. The experimental group was taught using a paraphrasing strategy, while the control group was taught using the traditional method. According to the findings, there is a statistically significant difference between the post-test scores of the experimental and control groups, with the experimental group scoring higher. Even though both groups improved in their post-test, the significant difference in the mean gain scores shows that the experimental group performed better than the control group, and this improvement was due to the use of a paraphrasing strategy. A significant correlation also existed between mathematical problem-solving skills and mathematics performance, implying that as the mathematical problem-solving skill increases, performance increases. Theoretically, these findings support the cognitive learning theory, which emphasizes the importance of active engagement strategies like paraphrasing in enhancing understanding and retention. This study suggests that educators should incorporate paraphrasing strategies into their teaching methods to improve students' mathematical performance. It can be concluded that a paraphrasing strategy can be used to increase performance in Mathematics. Further research is recommended to explore the long-term effects of paraphrasing strategy on different student populations.

Authors: Lacuata Carl Darren
Published: July 2024

Microfinance institutions are vital to inclusive growth and development in the Philippines by providing tailored financial services to marginalized groups. Implementing credit management is crucial for their success since it can facilitate good financial performance while promoting financial inclusion, alleviating poverty, and driving rural development. The main objective of this study was to describe and determine the relationship between credit management implementation and the financial performance of microfinance institutions in Calamba City. This study used descriptive correlational design to describe the credit management implementation and financial performance levels of microfinance institutions in Calamba City and determine if there is any significant relationship between these two variables. With the aid of the G-power, the study was able to get 200 respondents based on a 0.2278 effect size and 95% degrees of confidence. The sample size was composed of management and clients of microfinance institutions and was selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data was collected through validated researcher-made questionnaires distributed personally to the respondents. The data gathered were treated using four-point Likert scales, mean, Independent T-test, and Pearson correlation coefficient. The study’s findings revealed that the microfinance institutions in Calamba City have fully implemented their credit management and exhibited very high financial performance. There was a significant relationship between the two variables. The r values ranging from .509 to .685 were interpreted as having a moderate positive correlation to credit management implementation and financial performance. As an output of the study, an action plan was proposed, a series of strategic activities intended to enhance the financial performance of microfinance institutions through credit management implementation.

Authors: Esogon Stephanie Grace , Gumban Joey , Guitche Melona
Published: July 2024

Good leadership is significant since it is one of the motivating factors that motivate teachers to excel in providing quality education to learners. The purpose of this study is to measure the extent of the practice of transformational leadership of school heads and the work performance of teachers in public elementary schools in District V of the Division of Bacolod City. Random sampling was used to identify the 175 respondents. The study utilized descriptive, comparative, and correlational research designs and an adapted researcher-made survey questionnaire, which was validated and underwent reliability tests. The research found that school heads were perceived to have a high level of transformational leadership practice and were rated very high by Master and Grade 2 Teachers. Teachers' performance was generally outstanding, except for Grade 2 Teachers, who had very satisfactory ratings. The study concluded that there was no significant difference in leadership practices and work performance according to variable length of service, teaching position, marital status, and grade level taught. Furthermore, no significant relationship was found between the transformational leadership of school heads and teachers' work performance. Research indicates that elementary school teachers assessed their school heads as transformational leaders, and teachers demonstrated a high level of work performance. In conclusion, despite the positive effects of transformational leadership on motivation at work, it does not significantly impact teachers' performance. Thus, factors such as teaching styles and classroom strategies may significantly influence work performance.
Academic writing literacy of Grade 10 students in the modular distance learning modality in public secondary schools
Authors: Ondes Norbert
Published: July 2024

This study determined the level of academic writing literacy of Grade 10 students in the modular distance learning modality as basis for developing skill builder activities for writing. Specifically, it measured the level of academic writing skills through an objective type of test and a writing activity of the Grade 10 students in modular delivery learning modality along the six features of academic writing namely Syntax, Content, Grammar, Organization, Mechanics; and Word choice. After determining the performance of the Grade 10 students in writing, the researcher designed and developed a skill-based builder activity that was focused on the skills least performed by the students. The skills builder was also assessed by identified jurors regarding its acceptability in terms of content, format, presentation, organization, accuracy and up-to-datedness of information. The data was treated statistically through frequency count, percentage technique, weighted mean and chi-square since this is a descriptive-evaluative method of research.The study revealed that the performance of the Grade 10 students in academic writing along the six features of writing namely syntax, content, grammar, organization, mechanics and word choice is at an intermediate level of proficiency which means that there is a need for intensive integration of more writing activities in the modular distance learning. The statistics highly indicated that there is a significant difference in the academic writing literacy level of the Grade 10 students along syntax, content, grammar, organization, mechanics, and word choice. This result rejects the null hypothesis of this study. A skill builder activity material for writing can be developed to improve the academic writing skills of the Grade 10 students along the six features of writing. The developed skill builder activity material is excellently acceptable in terms of content, format, presentation, organization, accuracy and up-to-datedness as assessed by the jurors. The research recommends that teachers should still exert more effort in helping Grade 10 students reach the maximum level of basic and academic writing skills and utilize the developed skill builder activities in writing from this study.

Nanocartography: Planning for success in analytical electron microscopy
Authors: Olszta Matthew J , Fiedler Kevin R
Published: July 2024

With the increasing diversity in material systems, ever-expanding number of analysis techniques, and the large capital costs of next generation instruments the ability to quickly and efficiently collect data in the electron microscope has become paramount to successful data analysis. Therefore, this research proposes a methodology of nanocartography that combines predictive stage motion with crystallographic information to provide microscopists with a sample map that can both reduce analysis time and improve confidence in data collected. Having a road map of the stage positions linked to microstructural (e.g., interfaces and growing directions) and crystallographic orientation data (e.g., specific poles and planes) provides microscopists with the ability to solve orientation relationships, create oblique tilt series movies, and also solve complex crystallographic unknowns at extremely small scales with minimal information. Most importantly, it can convert any sample orientation relationships across microscopes to increase optimization and collaboration throughout the field.

Anketirani su korisnici informacijskog sustava na tri razine zaposlenja: liječnici, medicinske sestre/tehničari i administracija. Kada govorimo o rezultatima istraživanja vezanim uz prednosti zdravstvenog informacijskog sustava, svi ispitanici najviše se slažu da je postignut brži pristup pacijentovim podatcima, a najmanje se slažu s tezama da je smanjen broj medicinskih pogrešaka te povećana efikasnost i produktivnost. Međutim, medicinske sestre i tehničari značajno se manje slažu s predloženim tezama o prednostima koje donosi informacijski sustav u zdravstvu. Po pitanju nedostataka informacijskog sustava u zdravstvu, ispitanici srednjih godina značajnije ističu visoke troškove i rizik od kibernetičkih napada. Svi ispitanici iskazuju vrlo dobro zadovoljstvo korištenjem zdravstvenog informacijskog sustava, međutim najlošije ocjenjuju doprinos zdravstvenog informacijskog sustava poboljšanju skrbi za pacijente. Medicinske sestre i tehničari značajno lošije ocjenjuju sva postavljena pitanja, odnosno oni su značajno manje zadovoljni zdravstvenim informacijskim sustavom. Rezultati ukazuju na potrebu kontinuirane edukacije te procesnoga pristupa organizaciji rada, što bi smanjilo opterećenost zdravstvenih djelatnika administrativnim poslovima, posebice medicinskih sestara/tehničara.

GEOPOLITICAL RISKS AND RECONFIGURATIONS: SERBIA AND THE CHALLENGE TO MONTENEGRO’S STABILITY
Authors: Kuçi Gurakuç
Published: July 2024

Serbia aims its returnment or the achievement of the Serbian World (Greater Serbia) in Montenegro through the model of Bosnia with federalism, the model of North Macedonia - like the Albanians, the third model is Kosovo - an association of municipalities with a Serbian majority, the fourth model is the possibility of a referendum where partial or complete union with Serbia can be requested from Montenegro and the fifth possibility is the change of favorable geopolitical circumstances leading to full scale invasion.
These conclusions on the paper are based on a historical, geopolitical analysis, Serbian hegemonic appetites, statistical, ethnic engineering, “landlocked territory” as well as economic reasons.
The paper emphasizes how the electoral democracy allowed Serbia and Russia to gradually change the political structure after 2020.
The result predicts that Serbia's geopolitical interests appear as part of a strategy for maintaining its influence in the Balkans and managing regional developments, creating challenges and complex changes for the stability and perspective of Montenegro on the international stage.

Published: July 2024

In recent year, artificial intelligence is significantly evolving model for the estimation of the vast range of advanced model. This paper introduces a novel approach for predicting learning styles in the realm of education through the application of a Hidden Chain Fuzzy Model (HCFM). Learning styles, encompassing auditory, visual, and kinesthetic preferences, play a pivotal role in shaping effective teaching strategies and personalized educational experiences. The HCFM, an innovative extension of traditional fuzzy models, is designed to capture the intricate relationships and dependencies inherent in learning behaviors. The model’s learning process is rigorously examined, evaluating its ability to discern diverse learning styles through a dataset of instances characterized by varying aptitudes and preferences. Comprehensive classification metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, F1 Score, AUC-ROC, and Mean Squared Error (MSE), are employed to assess the model’s performance across distinct learning styles. The HCFM’s predictive capabilities are further demonstrated through a detailed analysis of individual instances, highlighting its effectiveness in tailoring predictions to the unique characteristics of learners. The results suggest that the HCFM holds promise as a powerful tool for personalized education, paving the way for more adaptive and tailored learning environments. The paper concludes by discussing potential avenues for future research, emphasizing the importance of further validation and exploration of the model’s applicability in diverse educational settings.

With the rapid advancement of mobile networking technology and the widespread availability of high-speed data connectivity, mobile phones have evolved into potent platforms for social networking. Macro von Arb et al. proposed a serverless friend-of-friend detection algorithm, successfully implemented on VENETA, a mobile social networking platform. In our analytical study, we delved into two fundamental aspects of social network analysis: vertex degree distribution and clustering coefficient. These metrics provide crucial insights into the connectivity patterns and community structures within the network. By scrutinizing these metrics in the context of the implemented algorithm, we aim to assess its effectiveness in fostering connections and facilitating social interactions among users on the platform.

Published: July 2024

In the recent decades, advances in medicine have opened up new horizons in the treatment of a wide range of conditions, including cancers, autoimmune diseases and immune-mediated chronic inflammatory conditions. Common to all of these is the increasing emphasis on researching and implementing targeted therapeutic options as pathogenesis is understood at the molecular level. In the treatment of HS, also known as a member of the follicular occlusive tetrad, this is evidenced by the successful use of monoclonal antibodies, such as the TNF-α inhibitor adalimumab and the anti-IL-17 agent secukinumab, both of which are approved by European and US authorities. However, in moderate and severe HS forms, characterised by a significant deterioration in quality of life and increased physical and psychosocial burden, there remains a tremendous need to expand the number of targeted therapies. In this publication, we review the latest therapeutic targets that are the subject of a number of completed or ongoing clinical trials. We also discuss the role of small molecule inhibitors in HS therapy along with a few lesser known innovative therapeutic options.
Dar voz a las protagonistas: El impacto de las redes sociales como fuente de información en el caso de Jennifer Hermoso y el movimiento #SeAcabó
Authors: Adá-Lameiras Alba , Abuín-Penas Javier , Blanco-Ruiz Marian
Published: July 2024

El empleo de las redes sociales para emitir comunicados de prensa ha supuesto un cambio en las rutinas periodísticas. Debido a ello, las deportistas han comenzado a utilizarlas como medios a través de los que difundir sus propias informaciones, lo que ha provocado que se conviertan en fuentes directas de información. El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar la conversación social ante el comunicado de denuncia que publicó la jugadora Jennifer Hermoso en la red social X tras el beso no consentido del expresidente de la Real Federación Española de Fútbol, Luis Rubiales, en la final del Mundial de Fútbol Femenino de 2023. Se estudió si las respuestas al comunicado de Hermoso fueron mayoritariamente positivas o negativas, así como los aspectos puestos en valor por los usuarios y usuarias en su respuesta a la publicación de la jugadora. Para la extracción y recopilación de las respuestas se ha empleado la herramienta Twitter Replies Exporter y para el estudio de estas, se ha utilizado el análisis de contenido. Los resultados muestran que la respuesta a la publicación de la deportista ha sido mayoritariamente positiva, pese a que los mensajes negativos han sido, fundamentalmente, insultos con grados de negatividad elevados. El análisis efectuado muestra que el movimiento #SeAcabó, iniciado espontáneamente en X como reacción a la agresión de Rubiales, implica un cambio en el discurso social, ya que manifiesta una respuesta de apoyo generalizada ante la denuncia pública de discriminación y violencia en el deporte femenino.

Análisis Psicosocial de las Nuevas Representaciones Sociales del Periodismo (Feminista): El Caso de The Morning Show
Authors: Garrido Rocío , Zaptsi Anna , Vera Blanca
Published: July 2024

La televisión, como agente socializador, tiene la capacidad de promover, mantener y desafiar las representaciones sociales que las audiencias construyen sobre ciertos temas y colectivos, especialmente, cuando no tienen un contacto real con estos. Así, las representaciones ficticias del periodismo contribuyen a la opinión pública sobre esta profesión y quienes la ejercen. Estas representaciones suelen basarse en estereotipos de género que infravaloran a las periodistas e infrarrepresentan su diversidad. La televisión streaming, unida a movimientos feministas como el #MeToo, han mejorado la presencia y representación femenina en las pantallas. Como ejemplo, este artículo ofrece un estudio de caso basado en la serie The Morning Show. Concretamente, tras un análisis psicosocial por pares (aplicando dos libros de códigos a los 30 episodios de sus tres temporadas), presentamos escenas que epitomizan las características de hacer periodismo feminista: (1) crítica a la forma convencional e hipermasculinizada del periodismo, (2) transforma las estructuras y lógicas de las empresas periodísticas, (3) visibiliza y focaliza en las voces y experiencias femeninas (y otros colectivos subalternizados), (4) se dirige al bien común y la justicia social, (5) denuncia las consecuencias de la precariedad y violencia que soportan las periodistas, mostrando sus formas de resistencia, y (6) integra una mirada sistémica del periodismo. Asimismo, señalamos representaciones de periodistas que desafían los estereotipos y reflejan su diversidad (étnico-cultural, sexual y de género, funcional y de apariencia física). Finalmente, discutimos las principales contribuciones teóricas y aplicadas, especialmente dirigidas al fomento de la equidad en la industria periodística y audiovisual.
