Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Eswatini has one of the highest HIV prevalence rates globally (24.8% among people ≥15 years of age). Unprotected heterosexual transmission accounts for more than 90% of new HIV infections in the country. Low HIV risk perception is known to influence risk behavior. Mobile phone technology is growing rapidly, offering opportunities for technology-driven interventions for HIV prevention.

OBJECTIVE

We designed and tested a serious game to increase HIV risk perception and intention to engage in protective HIV behaviors among young people in Eswatini

METHODS

Our team developed SwaziYolo, a smartphone, interactive, educational story game that places the player in the role of a young adult looking for love in Eswatini’s capital city. We conducted the Serious Games HIV Prevention Trial (SGPrev-Trial), a 4-week, 2-arm, 1:1 randomized controlled trial of SwaziYolo among people 18-25 years of age in Eswatini. The main outcome was HIV risk perception scores (10-item index and a subscale 8-item index), assessed using intention-to-treat and per-protocol difference-in-difference (DID) analysis. Secondary analyses examined differences in intention to engage in protective behavior and serious game acceptability.

RESULTS

Of 380 people who agreed to participate in this study, 130 in the control arm and 127 in the intervention arm completed follow-up. Among the 79.5% (101/127) of intervention arm participants who completed at least one game (per-protocol analysis), we observed an increase in the 10-item HIV risk perception index compared to control arm participants (DID mean score of 1.63, P-value 0.048) and a borderline increase for the 8-item HIV risk perception index (DID mean of 1.37, P-value 0.060). In intention to treat analysis, there were no significant differences between arms in both the 10-item and 8-item indices. The intervention was associated with the intention to reduce the number of sexual partners (OR = 2.595 [95% CI: 1.466-4.593]). Nearly all (96.1%) participants strongly agreed or agreed that they would recommend SwaziYolo to their peers.

CONCLUSIONS

in Eswatini and similar settings. Future iterations of SwaziYolo should focus on strategies to increase game completion rates. Our findings also suggest that serious game interventions can be effective at increasing HIV risk perception and should be prioritized for people who report multiple sexual partnerships and condomless sex or others who could benefit from interventions focused on HIV risk perception and prevention.

Published: December 2024

The legal regulation of minors' harmful social behavior has become a major problem in judicial practice. The core topic of this study is to understand and answer the challenges of the abnormal behavior of minors to the law, and explain the deep reasons behind it. Through comparative studies and case studies, it reveals legal contradictions including over-indexing penalties, undervaluing the functions of prevention and education, and age zoning. To truly achieve the expected effectiveness of legal regulation, it is necessary to focus on prevention and psychological counseling, especially the establishment of multi-directional defense mechanisms and intervention measures. At the same time, it is suggested that the age of criminal responsibility should be set rationally according to the cognitive ability and socialization level of minors, and the protection system of family, school and society should be strengthened. This study has important theoretical and practical significance for perfecting the legal regulation system of underage minors and preventing and reducing their harmful social behaviors.

Published: December 2024

The premise of this study is that education is an intentional attempt to discover pupils' potential. Students receive learning outcomes for every course they have taken at the conclusion of each semester, along with learning successes or the Cumulative Achievement Index. Using the K-Means Clustering approach is one way to categorize pupils based on their cumulative achievement index. This study uses a combination of quantitative and qualitative methodologies, which is known as a mix-method study. A sequential explanatory design is used in this investigation. This study's findings include the application of the Data Mining Algorithm to classify students' learning outcomes in the Informatics Vocational Education Study Program according to socioeconomic and social factors, particularly if they major in computer education. Because of this, students require computers and other learning aids in order to facilitate learning in the classroom and to avoid any problems when the lecturer assigns homework.

Authors: Kapadiya Kalpesh Laljibhai , Joshi Sanjay , Vaghelas Ajaysinh , Savsani Parag Rameshbhai
Published: December 2024

In the concrete treatments, small cracks are beginning developing inside. As a result of temperature and stress variations during extraction, the fragments will enlarge and unite to form some noticeable cracks. Concrete constructions may suddenly shatter as a result of cracks spreading. The study focuses consideration of the inspiration of additives on the properties of fracture in high-performance concrete with additives (HPCA) as a foundation for the effective application of building structures. Compared to traditional concrete, HPCA has better mechanical qualities and durability. The highly responsive nanoparticles significantly improved concrete performance. Portland cement has been replaced with nanoparticles at different percentages of weight to create HPCA mixtures. The impact of nano silica (nS) and nano alumina (nA) on the appearance of fracture and crack extension resistance of HPC during the process of entire fracture will be assessed in this research. Based on the softening laws and outcomes of the bending test of three-point of concrete material along with grooves, the resistance of crack extension of HPCA was determined. The crack mouth opening displacement versus load relationship curves (P-CMOD) represent the ultimate result. Compressive strength and additional mechanical properties have been determined within the model. Ultimately, the P-CMOD curves are used to analyse and compute the fracture parameters and features of HPCA utilizing nano particles.

Pavel Falev and his “Nogai Legend of Idegey” (on the history of the epos study)
Authors:   Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Anikeeva Tatiana A.
Published: December 2024

Research objectives: This article is the publication of a fragment of an unpublished study by Pavel Alexandrovich Falev (1888–1922), “The Nogai Legend of Idegey”, dedicated to the epic of Idegey, as well as a brief overview of the study and collection of various Turkic versions of the epic (primarily in the Tatar language).
Research materials: Pavel Falev's unpublished work is kept as a manuscript in the Archive of Orientalists of the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts of the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg and consists of 16 copybooks which are of considerable interest to researchers, both turkologists and folklorists. It represents a certain stage in the field of study regarding Turkic epic in general and the epic of Idegey in particular, and, of course, needs a annotated publication. The main feature of this work is, first of all, that Pavel Falev considers all versions of the Turkic legend of Idegey known to him at that time.
Results and novelty of the research: The archive of Pavel A. Falev has already attracted the attention of researchers, but not by itself and only in connection with the research works of other Turkologists. In Falev’s text there is furthermore an overview of the versions of the epics known to the author, and the need to study and collect various versions of the legend of Idegey is quite clearly stated – only this, according to Pavel Falev, would allow for recreating the full picture of its distribution.

Authors:   Karakalpak State University named after Berdakh, Aytmuratov Jalgas
Published: December 2024

The aim of the research is to study the role of researchers in the process of studying and widely popularizing the dastan of “Edige” among the Karakalpak people, as well as to analyze its significance as an important element of spiritual heritage.
Research materials: The basis of the research is a variety of Karakalpak variants of the dastan of “Edige”, as well as scientific works by both Russian and Karakalpak researchers devoted to this work. Special attention is paid to the variant of the dastan recorded from the words of Erpolat zhyrau, one which stands out for its depth and brightness in the ideological images of the heroes.
The scientific novelty of this research lies in a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between the images of the heroes of the Karakalpak dastan of “Edige” with historical events, something which allows us to identify the deep cultural and historical roots of this work. Unlike existing studies, the emphasis in this work is on the predominant influence of the worldview of the Karakalpak people on the image of heroes, expressed through the prism of zhyrau's creativity. In addition, the research focuses on a unique version of the dastan of “Edige”, presented in the Karakalpak tradition, which reflects the memories of the population of the Southern Aral Sea region and their longing for the banks of the Volga and Yaik rivers.
Results of the research: this study confirms the importance of the dastan of “Edige” as a piece of the inextinguishable cultural heritage of the Karakalpak people. During the analysis, the following key conclusions were reached: The images of the heroes of the dastan of “Edige” are closely related to historical events, which allows a deeper understanding of the cultural and social contexts in which this folklore epic was formed. The research showed that the worldview of the Karakalpak people significantly affects the image of heroes, expressed in their moral and ethical qualities, as well as in their actions which reflected the values and ideals of their society.
The History of the Creation and Promotion of the First Consolidated Text of the Bashkir Folk Epic “Idukai and Muradim”
Authors:   Kazan (Volga region) Federal University, Khabutdinova Mileusha M.
Published: December 2024

Research objectives: The purpose of the study is to restore the chronicle in the work of the Tatar scholar-encyclopedist, Naki Isanbet (1899–1992), pertaining to the creation and promotion of the consolidated text of the Bashkir folk epic, “Idukai and Muradim”. The research material was based on personal sources: memoirs, correspondence of a folklorist, a summary text of the 1933 edition with author's notes for translators. In the second half of 1920s to the first half of 1930s, Naki Isanbet participated in the first academic project in Russian history to collect, study, and create critical texts of epics of the peoples of the USSR, headed by scientists of the USSR Academy of Sciences. The Tatar scientist is rightfully considered a pioneer in this field. Naki Isanbet's textual works on the epic, “Idegey”, have been recognized not only within the USSR, but also abroad.
Research materials: The comprehensive text of the “Idukai and Muradim” epic by Naki Isanbet (1933); sources of a personal nature: memoirs, correspondence with a folklorist, etc. The research was conducted using cultural-historical, comparative, and descriptive methods.
Novelty of the research: The novelty of our research is found in its comprehensive study of the creative history of the textual work on the “Idukai and Muradim” Bashkir epic, providing the first summary text and the history of this epic’s development.
Results of the research: The scientific and historical value of this source has been determined within the framework of the study. The objective and subjective reasons for the dramatic fate of the consolidated text of the Bashkir version of the epic about Idegey are revealed. The structure of the handwritten text in Latin is described. Its plot and compositional features, character system, and artistic features are briefly described. It is demonstrated that Naki Isanbet was the first compiler of the consolidated text of the Bashkir folk epic, “Idukai and Muradim”. A comparative analysis of the editions of the consolidated text of 1928 and 1933 indicates that there was a “general constructive premeditation” aimed at actively influencing the reader, following the established genre and stylistic canon, as was noted by the textual critic. The history of Naki Isanbet’s cooperation with the Academia publishing house eliminates not only one of the “blind spots” in the history of the existence of this consolidated text, but also indirectly characterizes the circle of collaborative contacts of the Tatar scientist with Russian folklorists in 1930.

Published: December 2024

The purpose of the article is to consider issues related to the foreign policy relations between Armenia and Israel. During the period under study, the South Caucasus region attracted the attention of many countries around the world. After the collapse of the USSR, a number of independent states were formed here. Since the early 1990s, Israel has become active in its foreign policy in Transcaucasia. This was due to an attempt to minimize the influence of its main enemy in the Middle East - Iran. Diplomatic relations were established between Yerevan and Tel Aviv, high-level meetings began, issues of mutual interest and ways to resolve them were outlined, including in the development of economic and cultural ties. At the same time, trese arose some disagreements on the problem of recognition of the Armenian Genocide and a number of others. The entire period of existence of Armenian-Israeli relations was characterized by the avoidance of unnecessary publicity. The issues under study are devoted to the works of researchers T.K. Martirosyan, V.G. Ruzhansky, A.A. Kornilov, L.S. Perepelkin, S.M. Markedonova etc.
The methodological basis of the study is the principles of historicism and objectivity. The article uses the following methods of historical research: synchronous-chronological, retrospective, structural-systemic, etc.
The use of the mentioned methodology and methods of historical research allows us to explore the relationship between Armenia and Israel in the context of historical events of 1991 - 2014.
The novelty of the study is that the issues of the formation of the contractual and legal framework of Armenian-Israeli relations are considered in a comprehensive manner, based on sources.
Based on the work carried out by the authors, it is possible to continue studying the foreign policy of Armenia and Israel in the countries of the Transcaucasia, the Middle and Near East, and to conduct an expert assessment of modern geopolitical realities in this region.
The authors came to the conclusion that Armenian-Israeli relations in this period were mutually beneficial. It was important for Armenia to receive external support in the confrontation with Azerbaijan, and for Israel in the fight against Arab forces in the Middle East. Scientific ties between scientists of the two countries are of great importance. In the past decade, the Armenian-Israeli public forum as an important component of bilateral relations has attracted attention, it can become an incentive for strengthening ties between the two countries. Cooperation in the field of agriculture played an important role in bringing Israel and Armenia closer together.

Published: December 2024

No Brasil a agricultura familiar é responsável por garantir a segurança alimentar da população. Os circuitos curtos de comercialização surgem como um canal de escoamento para os agricultores familiares, proporcionando a estes a possibilidade de vender seus produtos por um preço justo. Neste sentido, busca-se analisar a forma de comercialização dos produtos da agricultura familiar e a dinâmica de consumo em feiras no município de Cruz das Almas - BA. Trata-se de um estudo de abordagem mista, no qual foram realizadas entrevistas com feirantes e consumidores em duas feiras do município de Cruz de Almas: a Feira Livre do Centro e a Feira da Agricultura Familiar e Economia Solidária- UFRB. A pesquisa foi realizada com apoio do Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação Científica (PIBIC) em 2023 e 2024. Como resultado, constatou-se que a feira UFRB apresentou-se como um espaço de grande interação entre consumidores e produtores. Os produtos comercializados na feira são oriundos da agricultura familiar, sendo assim a feira UFRB pode ser caracterizada como uma feira da agricultura familiar. Já a Feira Livre de Cruz das Almas apresenta alguns aspectos relevantes, como o fato de que não pode ser caracterizada como uma feira da agricultura familiar, pois grande parte da amostra de feirantes entrevistados não produzem os produtos que são comercializados.

Auge y declive de una saga de jándalos en Sevilla: la familia De la Cuadra (1795-1920)
Authors: Otero Campos José Andrés
Published: December 2024

La presente monografía analiza la creación, mantenimiento y disolución de la fortuna y prestigio de una familia de cántabros emigrados a Andalucía a lo largo de varias generaciones, desde fines del siglo XVIII, con sus antepasados –los Gibaja– hasta el final de la Restauración. La familia protagonizó un movimiento migratorio que determinó su paso por México y, tras la independencia de este, a la Campiña sevillana, donde sus miembros adquirieron tierras. Allí se enriquecieron aplicando la mentalidad capitalista al campo mediante prácticas como el préstamo y la acumulación de propiedades para su arriendo, tanto rústicas como urbanas.
Sobre esos cimientos económicos, emprendieron carreras políticas y devinieron en mecenas y hombres de cultura, cúspide vital que, debido a su errática estrategia inversora, pudieron mantener por muy poco tiempo antes de que su fortuna se diluyera. Dicho de otro modo, hemos sometido a análisis un ejemplo del llamado «síndrome Buddenbrook», comprobando en qué puntos encaja y en cuáles difiere la realidad respecto al modelo teórico.
A lo largo de este estudio, se ha analizado la conjunción de las esferas económica, política, cultural y social en una agrociudad –Utrera– y en torno a una familia –los De la Cuadra– que vivió el nacimiento, desarrollo y declive del caciquismo, los inicios de la Revolución Industrial en Andalucía o la formación de los valores burgueses.

In dense metropolitan areas like Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, commercial buildings encounter challenges from deteriorating conditions and insufficient maintenance. Building owners are increasingly adopting sustainable strategies to mitigate environmental impacts and improve urban life quality. Among these strategies, green facade retrofitting is a promising solution for commercial shopping malls. This study investigates the potential of green facade retrofitting in Kuala Lumpur's commercial shopping malls, particularly within the Golden Triangle, using empirical data, typological studies and case study observations. Next, the four primary criteria that Qualitative Comparative Analysis evaluated are Geometry, Optical, Thermal, and Physical features. The study also employs a scoring matrix which extended from relevant prominent studies for evaluating rating scores for each selected building. The findings show that the majority of older shopping centres constructed before the year 2000 have higher score ratings compared to newer ones. This also highlights opportunities for green facade retrofit development in these targeted areas, aiming to inform policymakers, urban planners, building managers, and stakeholders about sustainable urban transformation strategies applicable to Kuala Lumpur's Golden Triangle area.

Published: December 2024

The traditional function of minarets as a place for the muezzin to announce adhan and as symbols of Islam has changed due to modern advancements, which raise doubts about their significance in contemporary mosques. This perspective risks overlooking the community preferences, the diversity of Islamic architectural practices, and the minarets' growing cultural, historical, aesthetic, and symbolic value. This research investigates the importance of the minaret for contemporary mosques in Selangor. Utilising on-site observation and survey questionnaires, the study assesses public perception of the function and significance of contemporary minarets. Findings reveal that traditional elements of minarets such as their form, height and the presence of stairs are still adopted in contemporary minaret design, while some elements like materials, openings and ornaments are less common. The study also indicates that people continue to view minarets as essential for calling the adhan, serving as city landmarks, and marking the mosque's location. However, components such as a balcony for the muezzin, excessive ornamentation, and tiered gradation are no longer deemed essential. This research provides valuable insights into the functions and values of minarets for future mosque designs, serving as a guide for architects to align with community needs.
Selected features of Philippine English pronunciation among three groups of Ilocano speakers
Authors: Haloc Lysel I. , Dita Shirley N.
Published: December 2024

This paper describes the pronunciation of Philippine English by Ilocano speakers from three provinces of Region II in the Philippines: Nueva Vizcaya, Isabela, and Cagayan. All participants were born, raised, and educated in their respective provinces. The participants answered a questionnaire and were recorded reading a word list and structured dialog. The target pronunciation for analysis included the vowels /i/, /ɪ/, /ɛ/, and /e/, and the consonant pair /θ/ and /ð/, and two suprasegmental features: lexical stress and the intonation of question forms. To a certain extent, the findings were consistent with Llamzon's (1969) and Tayao’s (2004) findings on the features of Philippine English pronunciation. However, the findings suggest variation possibly due to the dialects of Ilocano that they speak. The study contributes to our understanding of the diversity in Philippine English pronunciation due to the multilingual nature of the country.
Um prólogo histórico-crítico depois de vinte anos: concepções pedagógicas e epistemológicas de movimento negro educador
Authors: Amparo Pedro Vinícius Castro Magalhães do , Messeder Neto Hélio da Silva
Published: December 2024

O objetivo desta pesquisa teórica é problematizar as concepções de educação, conhecimento e produção de conhecimento que compartilhamos no movimento negro a partir da descrição que encontramos delas na obra “O movimento negro educador”, de Nilma Lino Gomes. A obra foi escolhida como objeto de estudo pela penetração no campo e pelo objetivo de pensar o papel do movimento negro no desenvolvimento da compreensão sobre raça e racismo no Brasil, seja no âmbito mais geral, seja na educação escolar. Este trabalho suscita um debate para repensarmos os limites e as potencialidades de nossas concepções enquanto movimento negro proletário a respeito sobre a relação entre raça, racismo, educação e conhecimento e caminhos que podemos seguir para requalificá-las.
Práticas de aprendizagem integradoras e inclusivas: reflexões sobre a (trans)formação docente
Authors: Pereira Andrielly Maria , Alves Maria Dolores Fortes
Published: December 2024

A pandemia da COVID-19 evidenciou questionamentos importantes quanto às formações dos docentes, principalmente no que se refere às práticas inclusivas considerando os espaços de formação inicial de professores. Assim, questionamos “Quais as contribuições das PAII – Práticas de Aprendizagem Integradoras e Inclusivas (Alves, 2016) na formação inicial dos docentes para a promoção da inclusão no âmbito educacional, considerando os desafios de cenário pandêmico?”. Este artigo objetiva investigar as contribuições das PAII à formação docente inicial, com vistas à promoção da inclusão numa perspectiva ecossistêmica. Enquanto metodologia, a revisão sistemática de literatura integrativa foi utilizada, com intuito de investigar as produções acadêmicas realizadas no período de pandemia relacionadas às PAII no contexto da formação docente. Para análise, tomamos como fundamentos teóricos o Paradigma Educacional Ecossistêmico, o Pensamento Complexo e Transdisciplinar. Percebe-se que se trata de um novo paradigma que tem fundamentado ainda poucas produções. Nenhum estudo foi encontrado acerca da temática abordada, sendo notada a importância de refletir sobre as possibilidades (trans)formadoras no contexto educacional numa perspectiva inclusiva. Neste sentido, os espaços de formação docente se apresentam como cenários importantes na promoção das PAII enquanto estratégia de transformação necessárias à educação do futuro e do presente, permitindo compreender e desvelar contribuições às formações docentes e práticas inclusivas por meio das PAII. Bem como, se faz relevante refletir sobre as formações docentes no âmbito das graduações a luz da perspectiva complexa, transdisciplinar e ecossistêmica para lidar com as instabilidades e incertezas próprias da vida em sua complexidade inerente.
competência crítica
Authors: Silva Rodrigo Lages e , Costa Luis Artur , Macerata Iacã Machado
Published: December 2024

Este ensaio objetiva problematizar como a vida social  na filosofia grega clássica e na filosofia moderna foi objeto da reflexão filosófica, culminando por afirmar a analítica da verdade enquanto critério superior para a crítica. A partir dessa pergunta, problematizamos as  relações entre esta analítica da verdade e o colonialismo ou a centralidade do homem branco  cisheteressexual, burguês e europeu, como critério do bem viver ou do viver corretamente. Por meio de uma discussão bibliográfica fundamentada em algumas obras de filosofia moderna e contemporânea que ensaiaram contestar essa dimensão  abstrata e universalista da analítica da verdade, indicamoas que ainda repercutem nas mesmas certos atravessamentos coloniais. Para concluir, o ensaio sistematiza pistas ou caminhos  para o desenvolvimento do que chamamos competência crítica, recolhendo contribuições da filosofia, da  psicanálise e da antropologia para afirmá-la como pan-perspectivismo crítico e como gestação de novos mundos.
