Authors:   High Normal School of Bouzareah (ENSB), BOUCHAMA Ouahiba , LOUNES Amar ,   Local Authority Les Eucalyptus
Published: May 2024

This study examined the transformation of fertile peri-urban land surrounding large Algerian cities. Khemis El Khechna municipality in Boumerdes province was a case study for this phenomenon. Researchers utilized remote sensing techniques through Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to quantify land-use change. Specifically, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) contributed to finding regions with high biodiversity and healthy vegetation, while the Normalized Difference Built-up Index (NDBI) highlighted areas of concentrated buildings. This data was crucial in identifying wastelands or potential wastelands. The ultimate goal was to promote the development of such areas as an alternative to encroaching on productive farmland. The indexes and their database hold great promise for agriculture in the form of a national cadaster. The method could also be easily applied to other African countries, by promoting the utilization of wasteland and the adoption of precise farming methods.

Authors: Souza Luís Eduardo Ramos de
Published: May 2024

Este trabalho visa fazer uma exposição crítica e propositiva acerca da semântica dos conceitos em geral, a partir do livro A semântica transcendental de Kant (2000), de Loparic. Em linhas gerais, a exposição do tema, neste autor, focou na classificação geral da semântica dos conceitos, seus significados e referentes. Por sua vez, a crítica se direcionou a diversos aspectos da sua exposição, tais como: a precisão da nomenclatura utilizada, a introdução de novas definições e a correção de outras, a reformulação da classificação da semântica dos conceitos. Por fim, a proposição destacou três pontos principais: (i) a concepção do estatuto epistemológico equivalente entre a lógica e a matemática, enquanto ciências simbólicas com forma e conteúdo próprios; (ii) o conceito fraco e forte das ciências em geral (formais e empíricas) a título de ciências puras e aplicadas, respectivamente; (iii) a possível concepção metalinguística da semântica dos conceitos.
Relações de Poder em Michel Foucault
Authors: Da Silva Antonio José Carlos , Benevides Soares Daniel
Published: May 2024

O presente artigo objetiva compreender a noção de poder em Foucault como uma ação sobre a ação numa relação de forças. Em princípio, investiga-se o poder de soberania e o biopoder na época clássica. Nesse recorte, apreende-se que aquele tem conotações negativas e repressivas, enquanto este tem conotações positivas e é produtor de fatos, acontecimentos. Propõe-se uma analítica do poder foucaultiano segundo a qual constata-se que não há em sentido estrito a construção de uma teoria do poder em Foucault, mas uma análise ascendente do poder, partindo assim da especificidade do poder para os seus aspectos gerais, incluindo as relações dadas nesse contexto. Por último, analisa-se a relação de poder, tida como uma ação sobre a ação. Neste movimento de ação-reação, localiza-se sua necessidade, seu devir e sua verdade, que é o exercício do poder, seu funcionamento. Assim do molecular para a composição complexa, do invisível para o visível, do corpo para a população, é que se compreende o poder, ou seja, as relações de poder na teia foucaultiana.
Crítica à Razão Totalitária no Novo Pensamento de Franz Rosenzweig
Authors: Soares Muniz Claudionor , Danner Fernando
Published: May 2024

O presente artigo apresenta breves apontamentos sobre o “novo pensamento” do filósofo alemão Franz Rosenzweig, na obra A Estrela da Redenção, com a exposição da razão e sua vocação totalitária e violenta, que desde a Antiguidade até a Modernidade, fundamentava-se na busca incansável pelo conhecimento do Todo, na sua essência, com a formulação de conceitos, em uma experiência fechada. Em contraposição, o filósofo de Kassel aponta a sua proposta de um novo sistema filosófico, com vocabulário assemelhado ao encontrado na teologia judaica, chegando a ser confundido como pensamento teológico, que escancarava uma alternativa de análise da experiência (aberta, dinâmica, relacional e no tempo), a construção de uma razão plural, admitindo-se e respeitando-se a pluralidade.

O artigo tem por objetivo colocar em discussão as relações entre trabalho, educação e política, analisando como relações materiais do cotidiano se projetam enquanto formas de viver o tempo presente e as expectativas em relação ao futuro. Partido das “expectativas seletivas”, diante da possibilidade de descarte num mercado de trabalho eliminatório, investiga-se as práticas voltadas para o empreendedorismo e seletividade tanto no âmbito do trabalho quanto no da educação formal e não-formal, salientando os vínculos entre rentabilidade e punição, no cruzamento entre políticas sociais privatizadas e militarização.
Desbanalização do Mal: Sobre os Sentidos da Crueldade Hoje
Authors: Catalani Felipe
Published: May 2024

Trata-se, nesse texto, de testar a hipótese de uma “desbanalização do mal” que ocorre com a ascensão contemporânea de novas tendências fascistas. Buscamos levar em conta uma nova crueldade, germinada a partir da experiência de sofrimento social em um mundo do trabalho já “eichmannizado” (seguindo o argumento do sociólogo Christophe Dejours), que ganha na “nova direita” (também chamada de “populista”) um encaminhamento político.
Náufragos Políticos, Elementos para uma Psicologia do Conservadorismo
Authors: Carvalho Bruno
Published: May 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é discutir as relações entre psicologia e política que orientam a ação dos diferentes campos políticos. O ponto de partida será uma análise da proposta do cientista político Mark Lilla de considerar o “espírito reacionário” como uma posição estruturalmente ligada a um anti-progressismo, o que permite também, por contraste, discutir as posições progressistas. Essa análise se ancora na articulação entre política e temporalidade, entendida aqui como um dos elementos que esboçam uma psicologia do conservadorismo. E, com isso, ajuda a redescrever traços significativos dos dilemas políticos contemporâneos, oferecendo, por exemplo, uma distinção entre a posição reacionária e a conservadora, bem como traços definidores da visão de mundo do reacionário e, consequentemente, pistas para a compreensão da ascensão da extrema direita.

Authors: Pratitan Alifta Ridzki , Pambudi Pagan , Illiandri Oski
Published: May 2024

Background:  Cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) was increasing per year. In Indonesia reached 550.000 cases per year. Ten to fifteen percent are types of CVA bleeding (CVA-B). Death and disability as complications of CVA-B are more often compared to an ischemic type. Early diagnosis of CVA-B is key to decreasing it’s complications. Unfortunately, diagnosis of early CVA-B requires excellent effort and spending more expense when using an advanced CT scan. Previous research has shown a relationship between leucocyte count and CVA, but there is no adequate data relating leukocyte count and mean arterial pressure (MAP) with bleeding volume in CVA-B patients.Objective: This study aimed to answer whether Leukocyte count combined with MAP can be a choice to diagnose CVA-B at an early stage.Methods: Analytic observational research was conducted with a cross-sectional approach. The population of this study was all patients with CVA intracerebral bleeding at Ulin Hospital of Banjarmasin. The patient's medical records and CT scans were used to assess the bleeding volume. The number of leukocytes and the patient's mean arterial pressure were tabulated and analyzed to their relationship with bleeding volume.Results: In this study, there was a significant relationship between the number of leukocytes and the volume of intracerebral hemorrhage (r=0.801, p=0.000). There was no significant relationship between the MAP and the volume of intracerebral hemorrhage (r=0,17, p=0,361)Conclusion: There is a strong relationship with a significant relationship between the number of leukocytes and the volume of bleeding in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage but no relationship with MAP.
Entrevista al Arquitecto Roque González Escamilla: de Ciudad Satélite a Lomas Verdes
Authors: Capron Guénola
Published: May 2024

El gobierno del regente Uruchurtu (1952-1964), al prohibir la construcción de nuevos fraccionamientos residenciales en el territorio del entonces Distrito Federal, provocó que las desarrolladoras se desplazaran al Estado de México vecino para construir sus proyectos inmobiliarios. Ciudad Satélite tal vez sea uno de estos proyectos más emblemáticos. Fue un éxito. Luego de la inauguración de Ciudad Satélite en 1957 se planearon numerosos fraccionamientos en los alrededores, tanto en el municipio de Naucalpan, como en los municipios vecinos sobre todo en Atizapán de Zaragoza. Sus nombres, en muchos casos, reflejan a la vez el deseo campirano y la aspiración de un ascenso social: Hacienda de Echegaray, la Florida, Lomas de Bellavista, Jardines de San Mateo, Fuentes de Satélite, etc.

Authors: Wardani Isma , Leniwati Driana
Published: May 2024

This research aims to interpret the concepts of ESG and earnings quality in terms of their influence on investor decisions. Using an interpretive paradigm, this researcher tries to interpret the meaning of ESG factors and earnings quality by researching social phenomena. Data was obtained using in-depth interviews with lecturers, students and general investors who were key informants. The method used is the snowbolling system. The interview results are grouped and data reduction is carried out before being analyzed and conclusions drawn or verified. Triangulation was also carried out using different question techniques asked to ensure the validity of the data to key informants. By using triangulation techniques, researchers ensure that the data obtained is valid. The results of this research found that ESG factors and earnings quality are interpreted in material terms, environmental and social responsibility and goodness or spirituality in the context of determining factors in investment decisions. Empirically, in a broader sense, ESG factors and earnings quality are not only interpreted as financial benefits but as a reflection of investor awareness of their positive impact on the environment and social and mutual benefits.
Skeptisisme Profesional Auditor dari Sudut Pandang Filsafat Jawa “Ojo Dumeh, Eling lan Waspodo”
Authors: Bhilawa Loggar
Published: May 2024

This study aims to explore and analyze auditors' professional skepticism through the lens of Javanese philosophy, specifically the concepts of "Ojo Dumeh, Eling, and Waspodo." Professional skepticism, as the critical and cautious attitude of auditors in performing their duties, is linked to the values and teachings in Javanese philosophy to understand how these principles can enrich and deepen audit practice. The study's findings suggest a striking alignment between the ethos of audit professional skepticism and the Javanese philosophical concept of Ojo Dumeh, Eling lan Waspodo. In essence, audit professional skepticism embodies a mindset of critical inquiry and careful evaluation, mirroring Ojo Dumeh's call to avoid easy acceptance and instead verify information rigorously. The concept of Eling, emphasizing mindfulness and awareness, resonates with auditors' need for meticulous attention to detail. Likewise, Waspodo's emphasis on caution and prudence echoes the fundamental approach of auditors to exercise skepticism and maintain a cautious stance in their assessments. This correspondence underscores the universal value of critical thinking, careful scrutiny, and mindful deliberation across cultural and professional domains.

This study aims to analyze the effect of organizational capital on corporate tax avoidance. The population of this study are mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the 2012-2021 periods. Using panel data regression with the common effect model, the results of the study found that organizational capital has a negative and significant effect on corporate tax payments. In other words, high organizational capital can increase corporate tax avoidance. Companies that are able to manage organizational capital properly will be able to create organizational efficiency, one of which is through tax management that the company will choose. This study confirms previous findings that organizational capital creates organizational innovation and organizational learning abilities in related to tax avoidance. This study also strengthens the previous findings that companies with high organizational capital have a greater chance of tax avoidance. The research has implications for the company's internal policy as a taxpayer to increase its organizational capital so that it can have an effective management. On the other hand, the tax authorities can make policies that support the creation of compliant taxpayers and ethical corporate tax management.

A catch unloading is a fishing vessel activity carried out regularly at the port. The high frequency of unloading activities leads to a long queue which requires fishing vessels to wait in significant time for their unloading turn. One of the fishing ports with a significant waiting time is Karangsong Port, where the unloading queue can reach three weeks. To reduce the waiting time, there is a need to identify the utilization level of unloading facilities and queue patterns, as well as calculate unloading time and its influencing factors at Karangsong fishing port. This case study was focused on vessel queuing patterns, utilization of port facilities and the length of unloading time. Data were collected through direct interviews and observations. Based on the calculation results, the utilization rate of the unloading dock is 20.16%, TPI is 36.63% and the port basin reaches 577.86%. The vessels queue in double lines with a single service facility. The average length of unloading time for >30 GT vessels is 2.60 hours while for ≤30 GT vessels is 11.92% faster which is recorded at 2.29 hours. Factors affecting the length of unloading time incorporate the vessel's size, crew size, number of catches, availability of scales, market demand as well as the vessel's position and number of vessels in the queue.

On Stability Estimate of Optimal Transport Maps Using m-th Polynomial Convexity
Authors: Chen Kei Leong
Published: May 2024

In 1781, Gaspard Monge first proposed the practical problem of relocating building materials while minimizing workers’ effort. Mathematically, the problem can be reiterated as finding a mapping T0 that transforms a random variable (X) following probability measure (μ) into a random variable (Y) following probability measure (ν), with minimal cost. Afterward, it has been widely studied and applied in statistics, machine learning, and economics, which concern the study of “distance” between usually a pair of probability distributions. The focus of this paper is centered on investigating and generalizing stability estimates for optimal transport plans, particularly through the lens of strong polynomial convexity. Building on previous research using plug-in estimators to strengthen the convergence rate of discrete or semi-discrete estimators for optimal transport plans, this paper introduces a novel stability estimate leveraging L-Lipschitz continuity and a paradigmatic methodology based on polynomial convexity, the understanding of which remains limited.

Published: May 2024

Our objective was to investigate neck pain occurrence among students at the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy of Marrakech (FMPM), pinpoint its associated factors, and propose effective prevention strategies. Additionally, we aimed to evaluate its medical and psychological impact on physical activity and study quality. To achieve our goals, we conducted over three-month period a cross-sectional study among FMPM students from 2nd to 7th year, using a self-questionnaire with both descriptive and analytical purposes, from June 2022 to September 2022.We considered students with neck pain as those who had undergone an episode of neck pain within the previous year. Our research consisted of 206 students, with a gender ratio of 3.4 and an average age of 23 years. The results indicated that the vast majority of students (81.1%) had experienced neck pain within the past year, but for most, the pain lasted less than a week. During the survey, neck pain was reported by 18.4% of students. Our analysis discovered that there was a significant correlation between the occurrence of neck pain within the past year and age, family history of degenerative disc diseases, prior neck pain, amount of sleep, and computer use for studying. Through our research, we have confirmed that neck pain is a significant health issue for FMPM students. In order to address this problem and decrease its occurrence and impact, we have suggested preventative measures. To achieve this, we have put up posters in the faculty hall and shared a link online within student groups, which provides information on exercises and proper posture.
Strategies in Communicating and Enforcing Covid-19 Measures: A Rhetorical Analysis
Authors: Ndiritu Nelson , Maina Joseph
Published: May 2024

The emergence of the COVID-19 virus in late 2019 initiated a global crisis, leading to millions of infections and hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide. Governments worldwide implemented various measures to curb the spread of the virus, including lockdowns, social distancing, and hygiene protocols. In response to these measures, leaders employed persuasive language techniques to encourage compliance and reassure citizens. This study explores the linguistic strategies used by four national leaders—Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Boris Johnson, and Uhuru Kenyatta—in their speeches addressing the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis focuses on the rhetorical strategies employed, including ethos, logos, and pathos, as well as linguistic devices such as metaphors and enumeration. The findings of this study show that leaders strategically utilize persuasive language to convey information, evoke emotions, and inspire collective action. The study underscores the importance of understanding linguistic persuasion in effective communication during crises and highlights the relevance of classical rhetorical strategies in contemporary political discourse.

Authors: Aldemir Abdullah , Delen Mahmut
Published: May 2024

This study, which aims to reveal the psychological and developmental effects of “ninni”s on children, was conducted in phenomenological design using qualitative research approach and was revealed by document analysis. In the study, 8 themes and 30 sub-themes were found as a result of content analysis of ninni texts. In these themes, it was seen that “ninni”s include processes related to the developmental stages of children, social role expectations are included and various wishes are made for the future of children. In addition, it was determined that children were described with descriptions and qualifications in “ninni”s; in these descriptions, children were tried to be described by praising and positive connotations were predominant. In addition to this, it was understood that positive emotions such as love, compassion and peace were included more in “ninni”s, while negative emotions such as separation and sadness were included less. It was found that the “ninni”s included contents that support the individual spiritually such as being safe, togetherness and sacrifice. As a result, it was seen that lullabies support the spiritual development of children. Research findings were discussed in the context of the literature and suggestions were made.
Dystopian Views of Classical Sociologists and Their Social Extensions
Authors: Darende Ömer Faruk
Published: May 2024

Classical sociologists such as Marx, Comte, Durkheim, Weber have made significant contributions to the understanding of social life, institutions, norms and structures by studying society, social dynamics and the complexity of human behavior, providing profound insights and laying the foundation for modern sociological thought. While the theories of these sociologists have greatly enriched the understanding of social structures and the formation of predictions about future social order, their works also contain sharp warnings about utopian fictions of social trends and their potential dystopian consequences, but they often offer gloomy predictions of a dystopian future depicting an undesirable or chaotic society. While critically examining the dystopian elements in the works of classical sociologists, who portrayed the depressing picture of social life in different ways by emphasizing social inequality, the oppressive nature of capitalism, the alienation of the individual and the anomie of modern society, from a sociological perspective, this article discusses the theories based on dystopian thought and addresses their relevance to contemporary issues and their validity in today's society, and also assesses the validity of ideas and the consistency of predictions in the contemporary world where dystopian elements continue to manifest. It is therefore important to gain a deeper understanding of the sociological imagination and the continuing relevance of classical sociological thought by examining these dystopian perspectives of sociologists who emphasize their concern about the potential consequences of uncontrolled social developments.

A temperature control system is required in any situationthat requires a certain temperature to remain stable.Likewise, in the electrical processtank heater that requires a control system, because the temperature is notby the set value will cause overheating it,causing the product temperature is not as desired and can even causea dangerous explosion. In this project, the design is carried outtemperature control on the prototype electrical tank heater usingPLC Nano V5.2 as the controller, and the control method used is fuzzy Sugeno.Fuzzy logic has a value of obscurity and obscuritybetween right and wrong and control systems. Membership value may varyfrom 0 to 1. This means a situation can have two values, “yes or no” and "right or wrong", so it seems as if there is a "gray" area. Fuzzy Sugenois a fuzzy inference method for the conditions represented inthe form of IF–THEN, where the system output is not a fuzzy set but a constant form. Test results on the prototype confirm that the systemcontrol with PLC as controller and fuzzy as control methodhas a good ability to adapt the time needed totake longer to reach a stable state at higher temperatures (33.5°C to 37°C).Then at lower temperatures (29°C to 33.5°C). Haiwell-capable interfaceschange set values, display real-time graphs, and send commands toset PWM.

The increasing dem and for energy and the depletion of fossil fuel shas led to the exploration of alternative fuels like biodiesel, which require sref inement tomatch diesel oil properties. This study investigates the combination of nyamplung oil, a non-edible potential source, with waste cooking oil for biodiesel production, aiming to improve its physical properties. Through a method ological approachin volving degumming, esterification, and transesterification, biodiesel was produce dfrom these oils in 11 different blend compositions. The physical properties of these blends, including density, viscosity, flashpoint, and calorific value, were rigorously tested. Results indicate that incorporating waste cooking oil into nyamplung biodiesel significantly reduces viscosity, density, and flashpoint while increasing the calorific value. Specifically, the addition of waste cooking oil altered the density from 912.74 kg/m³ in pure nyamplung biodiesel to 857.27 kg/m³, decreased the viscosity from 28.02 cStto 4.58 cSt, reduced the flash point from 223°C to 197°C, and increased the heating value from 7,626.59 cal/g to 8,348.94 cal/g.

Corrosion is a phenomenon of damage to metal that can be influenced by several factors, including environmental factors, namely pH, humidity, temperature, and impurity factors. Corrosion that occurs due to the flow of a fluid is known as erosion corrosion. One type of metal that is susceptible to corrosion is carbon steel. Carbon steel material is very commonly used in the industrial world. An application of carbon steel is in piping systems that transport fluids; thus, fluid flow velocity affects the corrosion resistance of carbon steel. This research aimed to determine the effect of seawater flow on the corrosion rate of low carbon steel (ST 37) with variations in seawater velocity. This research is a type of laboratory-scale experimental research using coupon rack corrosion test equipment. The variations in seawater velocity used are 0 L/min, 15 L/min, 20 L/min, and 25 L/min. Observations of each experiment were carried out every 6 and 12 hours. The corrosion rate was analyzed using the weight loss method, namely by calculating the initial and final weight of the specimen before and after the experiment. The results show that increasing seawater flow velocity also increases the corrosion rate on steel specimens, with the lowest corrosion rate at 10.262 mpy on specimens with a variation of 0 L/min, while the highest corrosion rate is 48.743 mpy on specimens with a variation of 25 L/min. It can be concluded that the velocity of the fluid flow and the type of particles contained in the flow affect the rate of erosion-corrosion. The higher the fluid flow velocity and the more abrasive the particles contained in the flow, the faster the rate of erosion-corrosion.

Stainless steel is widely used in various fields, one of which is AISI 321, which is used for high-temperature applications because of its high resistance to creep and intergranular corrosion. The type of filler metal and heat input on stainless steel welds play an essential role in determining the microstructure and mechanical properties of the welded joints. The purpose of this experiment was to evaluate the microstructure and mechanical properties of AISI 321 stainless steel welds with variations in heat input. This study is expected to explore the performance of this weld joint, which can be anticipated in relevant fields. The welding method used in this experiment was Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) with ER 347 as filler metal. Welding was carried out on three samples with a heat input of 0.92 kJ/mm, 0.64 kJ/mm, and 0.52 kJ/mm, respectively. The tests included tensile strength, Vickers microhardness, and microstructure observations. The tensile test results showed that a fracture occurred in the Base Metal (BM) area, indicating that the strength of the weld joint was higher than that in the BM. The Vickers microhardness test results showed that the Weld Metal's hardness (WM) was the highest, followed by the Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ) and BM. The welding experiment that used three variations in heat input demonstrated that higher heat input lowered the hardness of the weld joint. The microstructure observation results around the fusion line demonstrated the presence of step and ditch structures. The ditch structure indicates intergranular corrosion.

In the rotary friction welding process, the selection of process parameters affects the friction, heat generation, and joint formation. These factors collectively cause microstructural changes that determine the mechanical properties of the joint. Therefore, the process parameters, microstructure, and mechanical properties were interconnected during rotary friction welding. This study examined the influence of process parameters on their correlation with microstructure and mechanical properties in the rotary friction welding of 304 SS. A 3×4 full factorial experimental design was used to evaluate the effects of the process parameters on the microstructure and strength of 304 SS joints produced through rotary friction welding. An accurate evaluation of joint strength was performed using the notch tensile test technique. The joint with the highest strength was achieved by applying a combination of friction pressure and friction time at 55 bars and 3 seconds, respectively, resulting in a welding efficiency of 103.6%. A very low friction time (i.e., 5 s) produced a weak joint, which should be avoided. The welding process created three distinct structural zones in the joint: a joint structure finer than the parent metal structure, a partially deformed structure, and a heat-affected zone with deformation. Hardness tests of the joints showed a high hardness in the deformed structure. The formed structure contributes to the resulting joint strength.
On the relationship between the delay time of a narrowband signal |in a dispersing medium and its attenuation

The 1D problem of propagation of a narrowband signal in a homogeneous dispersing medium is considered. It is shown that there is a direct and immediate relationship between the additional (to vacuum) delay time of the signal and its attenuation during propagation in an absorbing medium. It is shown that with an additional delay time of more than several tens of coherence times of uniformly broadened spectral lines of the medium, the signal weakens by hundreds of decibels and therefore practically disappears. On the other hand, when the delay of the signal is less than the coherence time of the medium, its absorption is small. A similar situation arises in an amplifying (thermodynamically nonequilibrium) environment – of course, with the replacement of signal attenuation with its amplification and the replacement of signal delay with its advance. As an example, the propagation of a narrowband signal, the carrier frequency of which is outside the gain band of the space maser, is considered. It is shown that in this case, due to the long lifetime of the excited states of interstellar gas molecules, the signal propagates at superluminal velocity with practically no change in amplitude, which is very rare in problems of this type.

Published: May 2024

The aim of this study is to examine the Country-of-Origin (COO) effect in the marketing of sports shoes among university students. 156 university students were randomly distributed into three groups and exposed to a fictitious sports shoes’ advertisement. COO information was not provided in the Control Group (n = 53). The experimental groups were provided information on COO from either a country with high COO scores (n=50) or low COO scores (n=53). A one-way ANCOVA found that there was a significant difference in Perception of Quality of the sports shoes between groups, F(2,152) = 2.98, p <.10 with respondents exposed to the advertisement featuring a country with high COO scores reporting the highest level of perceived quality. However, there was no significant difference across the groups for purchase intention. This suggests that COO effect exists for perception of quality but does not translate to purchase intention.

Für Änderungen des personenstandsrechtlichen Geschlechtseintrags soll es nach dem Selbstbestimmungsgesetz (SBGG) lediglich der Erklärung der Betroffenen sowie einer Eigenversicherung bedürfen. Aus der alleinigen Bezugnahme auf die geschlechtliche Identität ohne staatliche Prüfungskompetenz ergeben sich absehbare Friktionen und Konflikte. Das Gesetz begegnet verfassungsrechtlichen Bedenken und wird die offensiv versprochene Selbstbestimmung nicht vollumfänglich einlösen können.
