Authors: Ramos Esrael dos Santos
Published: October 2023

O presente trabalho objetiva analisar a aprendizagem de alunos com Transtornos Globais do Desenvolvimento (TGD) nas turmas regulares. É fato que algumas instituições de ensino não possuem estrutura adequada, além disso, poucos profissionais da área da educação estão preparados para viver esse novo momento da educação brasileira, faz-se necessário que haja a quebra dos paradigmas e obter o conhecimento sobre as práticas pedagógicas adequadas que possibilitarão que esta nova realidade seja de fato efetivada. Os meios de investigação usados foram pesquisa bibliográfica, observações e leituras de artigos, textos e livro. Através deste estudo foi possível perceber de que forma crianças com TGD aprendem. Portanto o aluno com essa deficiência é capaz de aprender a ler, a escrever, interpretar e até mesmo fazer cálculos matemáticos; desde que tenha um ensino voltado para o desenvolvimento da sua capacidade cognitiva.

O ENFERMEIRO NA UTILIZAÇÃO DO POCUS COMO FERRAMENTA DE APOIO NA UNIDADE DE TERAPIA INTENSIVA ADULTO
Authors:   , silva ricardo santana da
Published: October 2023

O emprego do POCUS pelos enfermeiros tem avançado em diversos campos da prática assistencial, principalmente após o desenvolvimento de equipamentos menores, portáteis e com capacidade de gerar imagens de alta resolução, podendo-se obter imagens à beira do leito do paciente e a sua interpretação em tempo real, para que se consiga correlacionar com a avaliação individualizada do paciente. Cada vez mais, observam-se resultados positivos ao se fazer uso do POCUS para diagnosticar e acompanhar situações mais graves de pacientes internados na UTI, como tamponamento cardíaco, lesões de órgãos sólidos do abdome com choque hemorrágico, distúrbios pulmonares, entre outros, chamando a atenção em estudos mais recentes. Diante disso, o presente estudo teve como objetivo geral analisar a atuação do enfermeiro na utilização do POCUS, como estratégia de ação junto aos pacientes adultos internados na UTI. Para se obter os dados e informações necessários ao aporte teórico deste estudo e, com isso, corroborar para o alcance dos objetivos propostos, foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica em: livros, artigos, revistas, periódicos, dissertações, monografias e outros documentos pertinentes ao tema. Fica claro que a utilização do ultrassom pelos enfermeiros que atuam em UTIs é amparado pelo sistema COREN/COFEN, por meio de decisões e normativas, sendo fundamental a divulgação da utilidade do ultrassom, por ser de fácil acesso, portátil e também instantâneo, o que se torna um suporte essencial na prática clínica.

Published: October 2023

This research was aimed at assessing the effect of the administration of ethanol extract of Terminalia catappa, on haematological indices following poloxamer induced hypercholesterolemia in male Wistar rats. Thirty- five (35) Wistar male rats were allowed to acclimatize for a period of 7 days, in a well-ventilated room at room temperature and relative humidity of 29°C and 70% respectively with 12 hours natural light-dark cycle. They were allowed food and water ad libitum. Good hygiene was maintained by daily cleaning and removal of faeces and spills from their cages. The rats were randomly divided into 5 groups of 7 rats each. Group A: were fed with standard chow and distilled water (NC). Group B: were induced with 1.0mg/kg dose of P-407 without treatment (HC). Group C: were induced with 1.0 mg/kg dose of P-407 and treated with atorvastatin (ATV) at 20mg/kg body weight/day Group D: were induced with 1.0mg/kg dose of P-407 and treated with leaves extract (HLE) at 100mg/kg body weight/day Group E: were induced with 1.0mg/kg dose of P-407 and treated with leaf extract (HLE) at 200mg/kg body weight/ day. The dose regimens were administered once daily for 14 days. The rats were monitored for clinical signs and death. The result reveals that there was a significant (P<0.05) increase in RBC, Hb and WBC when compared to the normal, standard and hypercholesterolemic group in the group treated with T. catappa ethanol extract. Similarly, there was a significant (P<0.05) decrease in PCV when compared with the normal, standard and hypercholesterolemic control. On the other hand, the extract produced no significant(P<0.05) difference in serum MCV, MCH and MCHC, neutrophil, platelet and lymphocytes when compared with the normal, standard and hypercholesterolemic control.It can be inferred from this present research work that T.catappa contains some phytochemical, and/or neutraceuticals with haematopoietic and immunomodulatory effect which may trigger or boost the defense system against invasion by either pathogens or pathogenic organisms in poloxamer induced hypercholesterolemic rats.
Medical management/Non-surgical of ectopic pregnancy: Case report and review of literature
Authors: Okagua KE  , Eli S  , Adewale O  , Ocheche U  , Wakama IE  , Nwosu C
Published: October 2023

Ectopic pregnancy is a cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Management options are surgical, medical and expectant management. Medical management also known as the non-surgical approach is not widely practiced in our environment despite its several advantages over the traditional open salpingectomy including its less invasiveness, reduced cost and absence of anaesthetic risk, surgical risk and need for hospital admission. It however requires early presentation and diagnosis before tubal rupture, a well motivated patient and fulfilment of strict criteria in well selected patients. Aim. To present this rare case report of the medical/non-surgical management of unruptured ectopic pregnancy and a review of the literature. Case report: Mrs AW, Para 3+0 (2 alive) who presented with lower abdominal pains and abnormal scanty vaginal bleeding following 6 weeks of amenorrhoea. Her physical examination revealed a stable cardiovascular state. There were no significant abdominal findings. Vaginal examination revealed positive cervical motion tenderness. A diagnosis unruptured ectopic pregnancy was made. Pelvic ultrasound scan revealed a cystic left adnexial mass measuring 1.94 cm by 1.7 cm with thickened, well circumscribed margins and it contained an echogenic mass (fetal pole) with cardiac pulsation (145/min). The crown-rump length was 0.76cm which corresponded to 6 weeks plus 5 days of gestation. Her serum β hCG was 3625.8miu/ml. She expressed her aversion for a surgical intervention having had 3 previous surgeries. She gave an informed consent for medical/non-surgical management with intramuscular Methotrexate. She subsequently received 3 doses of weekly 100mg intramuscular methotrexate. Each dose of Methotrexate was preceded by re-evaluation of liver/renal function test, full blood count and serum β hCG. By the 4th week of treatment the success of her treatment was confirmed by the insignificant level of β hCG and findings at TVS. She was counselled on the need for prompt localization of any subsequent pregnancy. Conclusion: We presented Mrs AW who was successfully managed for unruptured ectopic pregnancy using the medical/non-surgical approach on out-patient basis. Proper patient selection and follow-up is required for a favourable outcome,
La villa Querini di Mira Porte e il mistero dei suoi affreschi
Authors: Derosas Renzo
Published: October 2023

Villa Querini at Mira Porte is known for the valuable frescoes that adorn it. Relying on the claim that the villa belonged to the Querini Stampalia, scholars attributed the frescoes to artists related to the family, such as Palma il Vecchio, Bonifacio de’ Pitati, Schiavone, Tintoretto, Palma il Giovane. Recent restorations revealed the signature of Bonifacio and the date 1540. I show that the villa belonged instead to the Querini San Leonardo, who bought it in 1586. This finding raises two questions: who painted the frescoes? How to explain Bonifacio’s signature and the many references in the frescoes to the Querini Stampalia?
« Et les grenouilles crient de joye » : Laurent Joubert et la qualité des eaux
Authors: Gentilcore David
Published: October 2023

We tend to assume that in pre-modern Europe people did not drink water, considering it too risky and generally unhealthy. And yet, communities went to great lengths to ensure a supply of fresh water. The difficulty for the cultural historian is water’s very banality and ambiguity. This is why the little-known Traicté des eaux (1559), by French Renaissance physician Laurent Joubert, is such a valuable source. With reference to the water of Montbrison, where Joubert was practising medicine, he explores the question of different water sources, water quality and how to remedy this, shedding light on contemporary medical attitudes to drinking water.
Slavofobi o slavofili? G.A. Borgese ministro degli Esteri ombra al “Corriere della sera” (1917-1920)
Authors: Isnenghi Mario
Published: October 2023

In “Corriere della Sera”, directed by Luigi Albertini, G. A. Borgese wrote about politics on the front page. In 1917 the writer introduced the idea – inspired by Mazzini’s thought – of Italy leading the resurgence (“risorgimento”) of the Slavic peoples. This idea went against the Italian Minister for foreign affairs Sidney Sonnino, while it was close to the Leonida’s Bissolati and Gaetano Salvemini’s destructive attack on Austria (Delenda Austria!): in a sense it shifted from the Pact of London (1915) to the Pact of Rome (1918). Instead, in the same newspaper, the slavophobic Gabriele D’Annunzio attacked the “mutilated victory”. After the war, Borgese accepted Italy’s new border at Brennero’s mountain pass, which embraced the anti-Italian irredentism of the majority, but he would be considered a defeatist regarding the fate of the Slavic peoples.
«Io guardo la placida scena e dipingo». Visioni e cromatismi della natura inPrimo vere(1880)
Authors: Stagnitti Barbara
Published: October 2023

Considerably modified and enlarged compared to the 1879 print, the second edition ofPrimo Vere, the work of Gabriele d’Annunzio’s poetic debut, was published in 1880. This contribution focuses on it, which aims to offer an overview of the representation of nature in its chromatic, musical and olfactory aspects. Portrayed from life or fruit of the imagination, the landscape triumphs in its colouristic value and with its symphonic strength in the alternation of acute, hoarse, powerful or delicate sounds, which sometimes give way to the enchantments of silence or intertwine with the inebriation of fragrances and scents that cloak the atmosphere.
Il colore in Terra vergine di d’Annunzio: bibliografia critica e nuova proposta di lettura
Authors: Santoli Carlo
Published: October 2023

The article offers a new figurative reading of Terra Vergine (1882), focusing attention on the colour of the sketches of d’Annunzio’s novels and retracing the critical bibliography, in order to outline the pictorial innovation, but without evading the prodromes in the poetic collections Primo vere (1879) and Canto novo (1882). In fact, they are important for demonstrating how d’Annunzio can be considered the architect of certain technical mechanisms typical of cinematography (even modern), capable of effectively conveying a sense of the ‘wonderful’ and the ‘sublime’.
D’Annunzio, Fedra e un volgarizzamento ovidiano
Authors: Ripari Edoardo
Published: October 2023

Through the study of the preparatory papers of d’Annunzio’s Phaedra preserved in the Archivio Privato del Vittoriale, the article aims to demonstrate the leading role of the medieval vulgarisation of Ovidian’s Metamorphoses by Arrigo Simintendi for the composition of the tragedy. Through a careful work of compulsion and auscultation of the fourteenth-century text, d’Annunzio recovers formal and lexical tesserae to build Phaedra’s hendecasyllables, to recreate congenial images, to provide the most appropriate sounds and musicality, and to suggest psychological insights through the comparison between his characters and the mythological archetypes dear to his theatre, of which Ovid’s masterpiece is an admirable compendium. Ultimately, the essay suggests that the influence of Simintendi’s vulgarization and the method of compulsion extends beyond the tragedy of 1909.
Dal ‘grande scrittore’ al ‘generale imperialista’
La ricezione di d’Annunzio in Cina
Authors: Yang Yi
Published: October 2023

In the second decade of the 20th century, d’Annunzio was introduced to Chinese readers primarily via Anglo-Saxon culture and received as much success as controversy. This article focuses on the reception of d’Annunzio in a specific group in China: the League of Left-Wing Writers, one of the most important Chinese literary associations, which was founded in 1930. Through the analysis of the social-historical context and Chinese literary field during that time, this paper explores the reasons for the initial acceptance of d’Annunzio by the Left-Wing group and for their change of attitude toward the Italian poet.

What does American religion sound like? For eight years, the American Religious Sounds Project (ARSP) was animated by this question. The archive includes hundreds of recordings made across the United States, representing dozens of religious denominations, collected across the span of eight years.  This paper reports on the journey the ARSP has taken from metadata in Microsoft Word through its final migration to the Vincent Voice Library at Michigan State University. I reflect on the shifting standards, missing metadata, complex data models, and thoughtful curation this project required throughout its lifecycle.

Information Hospitality, Academic Libraries, and Open Access
Authors: Avery Joshua M
Published: October 2023

This essay argues that a new concept of information hospitality should serve as an ethical imperative for librarians, and libraries, to be involved in the production and dissemination of open resources. Defined as meeting the information needs of neighbors and strangers by granting them access into the scholarly conversation, information hospitality finds support and context in the ancient and scriptural virtue of hospitality. Both ancient and scriptural hospitality had four traits: it was welcoming of both stranger and neighbor, as much as possible needs are met, it was to be freely given, and it was expressed by both individuals and institutions. All four of these traits are present in meeting the information needs of neighbors and strangers through the open scholarship.
Why Christian Ethics Impels Open Access Publishing
Authors: Smith Michael
Published: October 2023

The publishing world is experiencing changes with the increased adoption of Open Access publishing, and Christians should celebrate the coming changes.  The trend towards increasing Open Access publishing promises increased access to scholarly and scientific information to greater numbers of people around the world.  Since Christian ethics impels Christians to love their neighbors, to share the Good News, and to be good stewards of God’s creation, Christians should support the transition to Open Access publishing, particularly since Open Access publishing can help advance each of these important Christian directives and goals.
Theological Librarians and the Cultivation of Belonging
Authors: Paige Chris
Published: October 2023

Drawing together critique of theological education (Willie Jame Jennings) with care ethics (Joan Tronto), this essay unpacks the important role of care and belonging in theological education. Rather than basing belonging in shared identity, homogeneity, tolerance, or loyalty, this essay argues that practices of care are what allow belonging to emerge and be sustained. The essay then identifies theological librarians as exemplars of what Jennings calls “the art of cultivating belonging.” While not a full proposal for rejuvenation of theological education, this essay draws connections between critical pedagogy, Jennings’ pedagogy of belonging, library science, and diversity, equity, and inclusion in a way that sparks further dialogue about the essentials of theological formation in the 21st century.
Review of We Belong to Big Church: Caribbean Soundings and Stories in Anglicania
Authors: Ferguson Anatol Allison
Published: October 2023

We Belong to Big Church: Caribbean Soundings and Stories in Anglicania provides a rare insight into the cross-cultural dynamics of Afro-Anglicanism in the Caribbean and in North America. The historic fictional religious narratives of the first section give a voice to the ecclesial and cultural adjustments of the Anglican Caribbean Diaspora in America. The second section is a compilation of the author’s sermons, addresses, and lectures that engage issues of multiculturalism, inclusion, and racism as a call to stimulate further conversations on a proposed way forward in the Ecclesia Anglica. As the Professor of Theology at Howard University School of Divinity, Kortright Davis’ book is a creative and educative gem that fills the void of Afro-Caribbean literature and is a good starting place for navigating the conversations on cultural diversity.

Evaluating the strength properties of standing trees through fractometry
Authors: BERAM Abdullah
Published: October 2023

In recent years, significant advancements in non-destructive testing (NDT) methodologies have emerged, with applications spanning various domains, including structural wood quality assessment and planted tree characteristic evaluation. Within the context of planted trees, a range of non-destructive and semi-destructive techniques have been developed to assess the extent of degradation in tree trunks. In this study, various mechanical characteristics of brutian pine (Pinus brutia Ten.) trees near the Ertokuş Madrasah in the Atabey district of the province of Isparta are examined. Beside their historical significance, these trees are notable for the potential risk they present in terms of leaning towards the madrasah facade and the risk of falling over. To achieve the goals of research, the resistance characteristics of incremental cores were systematically determined by using a thermal imaging camera in conjunction with a portable, non-destructive testing device called a Fractometer. Totally 15 incremental auger specimens were obtained by extracting three increment core samples, each with a thickness of 5 mm, from the trunks of five distinct trees, all at a consistent height of 1.3 meters above ground level. Bending and compressive strength measurements were recorded at intervals of 6 mm from the core to the outermost layer. Furthermore, the moisture content of the incremental cores was assessed using thermal imaging technology. Following an analysis of the collected data, it was concluded that the mechanical properties of the investigated brutian pine trees within an acceptable range.
SCRT1 is differentially expressed in central nervous system metastasis in human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: October 2023

Metastasis to the brain occurs in a significant fraction of patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published RNA-sequencing and microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that scratch family transcriptional repressor 1, encoded by SCRT1, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. SCRT1 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Expression of SCRT1 in primary tumors was correlated with patient distant metastasis-free survival. Modulation of SCRT1 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.
Cognitive Control: Exploring the causal role of the rTPJ in empathy for pain mediated by contextual information
Authors: Hartmann Helena , Orlando Egle , Borja Karina , Keysers Christian , Gazzola Valeria
Published: October 2023

Empathy determines our emotional and social lives. Research has recognised the role of the right temporo-parietal junction (rTPJ) in social cognition, however there is less direct causal evidence for its involvement in empathic responses to pain, which is typically attributed to simulation mechanisms. Given the rTPJ's role in the false beliefs and contextual information during social scenarios, we hypothesized that empathic responses to another’s pain depend on the rTPJ if participants are given information about people's intentions, engaging mentalizing mechanisms alongside simulative ones. Participants viewed videos of an actress freely showing or suppressing pain caused by an electric shock, while receiving 6Hz repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) over the rTPJ or sham vertex stimulation. Active rTMS had no significant effect on participants' ratings depending on the pain expression, although participants rated the actress’ pain as lower during rTPJ perturbation. In contrast, rTMS accelerated response times of providing ratings during pain suppression. We also found that participants perceived the actress’ pain more intense when they knew she would suppress vs. show it. These results suggest an involvement of the rTPJ in attributing pain to others and provide new insights into people's behavior in judging others' pain when it is concealed.
Bullshit (sometimes) makes the art (slightly) more attractive: A field study in gallery-goers
Authors: Urbanek Arkadiusz , Borkowska Anna , Milczarski Wojciech , Luty Jerzy , Zagrobelny Jarosław , Bialek Michal
Published: October 2023

Vague, impressive language used in descriptions (bullshit) is thought to make art seem more profound and valuable to the viewer. We studied the effect during art exhibitions in real-life gallery-goers who saw paintings of four artists, each with either simplified, neutral, or bullshitty description. We crafted a typical description of each painting, which we later manipulated in terms of language. A simplified description was modified to be concrete and simplistic, while a bullshitty one, was very abstract and vague. After analysing over 1500 ratings, we found the expressive language of descriptions had a negligible effect on the perceived quality and monetary value of art (R2 marginal ≤ 1%). We conclude that, at least for experienced gallery-goers, the description accompanying a painting has little influence, and the art speaks for itself.
Independent and interactive dynamics between statistical learning and inhibitory control
Authors: Horvath Kata , Nemeth Dezso , Janacsek Karolina , Kóbor Andrea
Published: October 2023

In an ever-changing environment, the synchronization of automatic and controlled behaviors is imperative for achieving successful adaptation. However, the relationship between these behaviors is often debated due to the diverse approaches used to investigate it. The current study set out to untangle how statistical learning of environmental regularities – a process that facilitates automatic behaviors – and inhibitory control interact when they are required to operate simultaneously. Participants completed a visual four-choice reaction time paradigm that combined a statistical learning task with the Eriksen flanker task. In this novel paradigm, a central target stimulus, surrounded by flanker stimuli, was either predictable or unpredictable based on the statistical regularities induced by the sequence of target stimuli. Importantly, statistical regularities did not predict the flanker stimuli, allowing only target predictability to be learned. Statistical learning was reflected by the performance difference between predictable and unpredictable targets. Inhibitory control was reflected by the flanker congruency effect, i.e., the performance difference between congruent and incongruent trials. Additionally, conflict adaptation was examined via the congruency sequence effect, to which both statistical learning and inhibitory control contribute. According to our results, statistical learning and flanker congruency effects emerged independently from one another at the primary performance level. Conversely, conflict adaptation revealed both cooperative and competitive interactions between statistical learning and inhibitory control, contingent upon target predictability. Overall, our results suggest that the reliance on environmental regularities can profoundly influence adaptation based on automatic and controlled behaviors.
Improving the Utility of Non-Significant Results for Educational Research: A Review and Recommendations
Authors: Edelsbrunner Peter Adriaan , Thurn Christian
Published: October 2023

When used appropriately, non-significant p-values have the potential to further our understanding of what does not work in education, and why. When misinterpreted, they can trigger misguided conclusions, for example about the absence of an effect of an educational intervention, or about a difference in the efficacy of different interventions. We examined the frequency of non-significant p-values in recent volumes of peer-reviewed educational research journals. We also examined how frequently researchers misinterpret non-significance to imply the absence of an effect, or a difference to another significant effect. Within a random sample of 50 peer-reviewed articles, we found that of 528 statistically tested hypotheses, 253 (48%) were non-significant. Of these, 142 (56%) were erroneously interpreted to indicate the absence of an effect, and 59 (23%) to indicate a difference to another significant effect. For 97 (38%) of non-significant results, such misinterpretations were linked to potentially misguided implications for educational theory, practice, or policy. We outline valid ways for dealing with non-significant p-values to improve their utility for education, discussing potential reasons for these misinterpretations and implications for research.
How Work as a Category of Thought Has Been Disrupted in Neoliberal Capitalist Societies
Authors: Dujarier Marie-Anne
Published: October 2023

This article summarises and presents the main findings of Marie-Anne Dujarier’s French book Troubles dans le travail (2021). It focuses on the “travail” category of thought and practice in France, where it has become a ubiquitous and moral notion. The article traces the history of its social uses, highlighting its polysemy with respect to vernacular and scientific uses, then its limited meaning when used in institutions. It examines contemporary situations in which activity requiring effort, the production of use or exchange values, and the status of employment and remuneration are disconnected. Their frequency and importance cast doubt on who is working and when. This disruption in the “work” category of thought indicates that the eponymous institutions do not adequately accommodate real practices. They are therefore questioned. This observation is also an invitation for researchers to unpick this word for a better analysis of contemporary social, psychological and ecological issues. In France, the word “travail” is ubiquitous in our day-to-day exchanges, as well as in our scientific and political discussions (“travail” is often translated as ‘work’ or ‘labour’, translations are part of the history of the category). Although regularly given only one value, it also has a moral domain. But what does it mean? This article offers Anglo-Saxon readers a summary of in-depth sociological research on this issue, published in the book called Work Troubles. Sociology of a category of thought (French original title: Troubles dans le travail. Sociologie d’une catégorie de pensée) by the author of this article.
Emerging from the Covid-19 Cocoon
Authors: Kowalczyk Amanda
Published: October 2023

Since March 2020, teaching and learning in UK higher education has undergone a period of metamorphosis. With campus closures, lecturers and tutors could no longer rely on the teaching and learning style honed over years of in-person delivery. Despite the initial uncertainty of transformation, academic staff have adapted to the new situation, embracing new technology to assist lecture recording, seminar delivery and meetings with colleagues and students. Many will feel that they have become different teachers. Perhaps even, improved teachers, able to work in unique ways and address new challenges. For a while it appeared that teaching in higher education had been completed altered as a result. Yet student voices continue to advocate for in-person delivery. Can, and should, lecturers and tutors revert to their ‘old’ pedagogy, when the opportunity arises to return fully to the lecture theatre, classroom, or laboratory? Or have we emerged from the Covid-19 cocoon completely, and permanently, altered? This article reflects on my own experiences, based on returning to exclusively face-to-face delivery from September 2022, after two and a half years of online and blended learning.
Placing ChatGPT in the Context of Disruptive Technology in Academic Publishing
Authors: Montague-Hellen Beth
Published: October 2023

ChatGPT is an AI-based text generating tool which was released at the end of 2022. The tool is significantly better than previous AIs at generating written outputs which appear to have been written by a human including academic research articles. Within academic research there has been considerable interest in whether the tool can be used to write scholarly content, and what the consequences of this would be. Despite the increased quality of output ChatGPT still suffers from many of the flaws which plague other AI tools such as bias, inaccurate training materials and its use leads to concerns around plagiarism and research integrity. This article centres the viewpoint of an academic librarian to discuss ChatGPT in the context of other technologies which have been disruptive. An argument is made that the tool is simply one in a series of transformational developments in scholarly communications, which have all been, eventually, successfully assimilated.

Reflections on AI in Humanities
Authors: Khair Allah Raad
Published: October 2023

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues advancing rapidly, there is growing potential for its application in the humanities to uncover new insights and perspectives from the historical archives. However, it is also important to consider how AI tools themselves may unintentionally perpetuate existing biases if not developed conscientiously. This critical reflection reflects on the opportunities and challenges of utilising AI to amplify marginalised voices that have been traditionally excluded or underrepresented in mainstream historical narratives, with a focus on women. Through natural language processing and computer vision techniques, AI shows promise in automating the analysis of large volumes of text, image, and multimedia sources to bring to the surface female narratives previously overlooked due to limitations of manual research methods. However, issues such as training data bias, problematic stereotypes learned from legacy sources, and a lack of diversity among AI researchers threaten to replicate the very inequities they are seeking to overcome if not addressed proactively. Collaborative frameworks and design principles centred on representation, accountability and community oversight are needed. By critically examining its social responsibilities and impacts, this reflection argues that AI possesses great potential in the service of feminist and intersectional scholarship when guided appropriately. It calls for continued multidisciplinary dialogue to help ensure technologies amplify marginalised voices rather than risk their further marginalisation.

Published: October 2023

This article aims to analyze the implementation of banking credit restructuring policy for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) during the COVID-19 pandemic at PT. Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero). The focus of the research is on the aspect of implementing banking credit restructuring policy. To comprehend this issue, the theoretical framework proposed by Ripley and Franklin is employed, which emphasizes three key aspects: (1) the level of bureaucracy's compliance with higher-level regulations, (2) the smooth execution of routines without hindrances, and (3) the achievement of goals and intended impacts of all existing programs. A qualitative approach is utilized to explore and understand the perspectives of individuals and groups involved in this social issue. Data collection is conducted in two phases, with the first involving direct observation, documentation, and in-depth interviews to achieve the research objectives. Data analysis adopts a descriptive approach with qualitative methods, including data condensation, data display, and verification. The study concludes that the implementation of banking credit restructuring policy for MSMEs during the COVID-19 pandemic, as examined in the case study at BRI KCU Palembang A Rivai in Palembang City, aligns with the framework proposed by Ripley and Franklin. This research provides valuable insights into how the policy is executed and its impact on the MSME sector. Therefore, this article has the potential to contribute significantly to the understanding and improvement of banking credit restructuring policy implementation in the future.
