Authors: Zhang Yelin
Published: April 2024

This project will study a fast retrieval method for music humming speech recognition based on sentence features and deep learning. The method proposed in this paper can realize the fast extraction of songs. According to the characteristics of the natural pause mode of the song, the song database and the song fragments provided by the user are divided into different sentences. The deep learning algorithm of BDTW is used to calculate the similarity of the song's pitch, and users can set matching conditions according to their preferences. It can identify the most significant differences between music fragments and the order of queries in the database. Then, a retrieval method of a music database based on DIS is proposed. It can shorten the acquisition time. Experiments show that the algorithm can recognize humming songs quickly and efficiently.

The unique educational attributes of the big data era can not only improve the audience's acceptance effect, but also accelerate the overall process of achieving ideological security education goals, playing a certain role in maintaining the unity of youth's thinking and daily behavior. Youth are the "core indigenous people" in the field of the Internet. Big data and mobile communication have brought new changes to the lifestyle and values of young people. In an era full of data, linking big data with life, work, and education is a contemporary issue that we should pay attention to and think about. The purpose of this study is to explore the psychological sources and guidance methods of adolescent online ideology in the era of big data. Firstly, through literature analysis and empirical research, we found that psychological factors such as instincts, repression, and venting among adolescents have a significant impact on their online ideology. Secondly, we utilized methods such as questionnaire surveys and in-depth interviews to explore the relationship between different psychological sources and online ideology. Finally, we propose a series of targeted guidance strategies, including enhancing self-awareness, cultivating a healthy mindset, and improving network literacy, to help teenagers establish the correct network ideology. It is necessary to strengthen the self-management awareness of teenagers, cultivate targeted opinion leaders, strengthen online supervision, establish and improve a risk prevention mechanism for online ideology, and promote mainstream ideology.
ARIMA-BPNN based Stock Price Prediction Model Based on Fusion News Sentiment Analysis
Authors: Gong XiaoZhe
Published: April 2024

In recent years, the prediction of stocks has mainly focused on improving and combining stock prediction algorithms, or analyzing news sentiment tendencies to simulate subjective investor consciousness. However, both methods have shortcomings in practicality and comprehensiveness. Therefore, based on the use of stock data, the sentiment propensity of vocabulary in the article was processed, and a new algorithm model was obtained by combining the differential integration moving average autoregressive model and backpropagation feedforward neural network model. Finally, sentiment propensity was integrated into the combination model to obtain an algorithm model that integrates sentiment analysis. After optimizing the sentiment vocabulary of news. The algorithm has improved its ability to recognize emotional tendency words, while traditional algorithms have been improved to improve the accuracy of stock prediction, further verifying the relationship curve between emotional tendency and stock prediction fluctuations. The experimental results show that the combined model of sentiment analysis is close to the true value in predicting stock results, with an error of less than 1.5%. The accuracy and stability of the model’s prediction results are significantly better than the uncombined model and traditional prediction models. The new combination model provides better judgment basis for investors through experimental prediction results, creating conditions for investors to avoid stock market risks and improve investment value.

Authors: Wu Xiaoling , Sun Guodong
Published: April 2024

As an effective solution to the problem of information overload, personalized recommendations have received widespread attention in the music field. A context-aware music recommendation algorithm combining classification and collaborative filtering is proposed based on user context information. Firstly, the similarity analysis of the user situation is carried out. A preliminary list of recommended songs is obtained by collaborative filtering. The machine learning method is used to classify music in different scenes to get the preferences of music types in different situations. Finally, the recommendation list obtained by collaborative filtering is combined with the music type preference obtained by the classification model and personalized music recommendations for users in different situations. This algorithm not only effectively reduces the complexity of the recommendation process. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the accuracy of users' music recommendations.
The relationship between sound language and writing in linguistic communication: reception and problems of traditional teaching methods
Authors: Bashlueva Natalya
Published: April 2024

The article deals with language communication and discusses the problem of reception, as well as traditional methods of teaching foreign languages. What is the term language communication? In fact, it is a single system consisting of two types of communication. This includes both oral and written speech. The importance of the question of the relationship between sound language and writing is compounded by the fact that existing methodological systems interpret it in a diametrically opposite way. Classical linguistics of the 19th century, as well as the traditional methods of teaching foreign languages, developed and concentrated their attention on the study of dead written languages: Latin, ancient Greek and some others. The complete disregard for living sound languages as "degenerated descendants" of the majestic and harmonious writing systems of ancient languages was characteristic. When mastering oral speech and writing, emphasis should be placed on the specifics of these forms of communication both in communication techniques and in sign systems. The first of these aspects should be adequately reflected in the system of communicative exercises — oral for teaching sound language, exercises in reading and writing — for teaching the language of writing. The second aspect should form the basis for the selection of language material to be mastered in oral speech and writing. The requirements just formulated can be satisfied only if specialized textbooks of oral speech and reading-writing are created, and the textbook of oral speech for any purpose must be sound. Special attention is paid to the importance of the correlation between sound language and writing, which is treated differently in the existing methodological systems. Classical linguistics of the nineteenth century and traditional methods of foreign language teaching become the object of study, revealing the development of their approaches to language communication. Questions about the relationship between spoken and written language are raised, warning against diametrically opposed interpretations of this relationship in existing methodologies.
El humor en TikTok: un caso de estudio de cinco creadores de contenido españoles.
Authors: Molina-Fuster Jorge , Díaz-Lucena Antonio
Published: April 2024

El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar el uso que se hace del humor en la red social TikTok, porque el contenido publicado en esta plataforma, que incita a la risa, atrae a una gran audiencia, pero no todos los vídeos eligen la misma forma de hacer comedia, ni hacen uso de los mismos recursos técnicos. Así pues, este estudio se ha abordado mediante un enfoque cuantitativo. En un primer nivel se ha realizado un análisis empírico de datos extraídos de doce meses (1 de octubre de 2021 al 31 de septiembre de 2022) de las cuentas de TikTok de los creadores de contenido que componen la muestra (n=914). En él se han priorizado las siguientes variables: número de publicaciones, visualizaciones e interacciones de la audiencia. Y en un segundo nivel, se ha elaborado un análisis de contenido de sus publicaciones (n=70). Los creadores de contenido españoles elegidos que componen esta muestra son: animalize21, badbixsamantha, jorgeamor, gersanc_ y whereisleto. Se concluye que el tipo de humor más exitoso en TikTok es el humor afiliativo que hace comedia de situaciones cotidianas. Adicionalmente, este tipo de vídeos son especialmente dinámicos, pues todos los elementos técnicos que los componen trabajan para acelerar el ritmo porque la audiencia y la plataforma así lo demandan.

Authors: Creer Sarah , Kuforiji Oluwatoyosi , Turvey Andrew , Jackson Jessica Eve
Published: April 2024

During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, child and family health teams were required to adapt and prioritise services, which were increasing in demand. This investigation aimed to understand how the changes in service delivery and workload, as a consequence of the pandemic, impacted the wellbeing of staff in these teams. Using two datasets, a quantitative secondary analysis of anonymised routine patient data and a qualitative primary interpretive analysis of data, collected via focus groups and an interview with staff, were conducted. The quantitative data confirmed that universal contacts have increased dramatically since the pandemic and all tiers have increased in duration. Three themes were identified in the qualitative analysis as having the greatest impact on staff wellbeing: redeployment, increased workload and remote working. Staff need supportive opportunities to share their experiences to identify specific dimensions of stresses felt individually during times of pressure on services.

A Study of An Image Encryption Model Based on Tent-Ushiki Chaotic Fusion
Authors: Li Jun , Huang Weijun
Published: April 2024

Aiming at the shortcomings of current image encryption, such as simple structure, few parameters and small key space, we propose the Tent-Ushiki chaotic mapping image encryption method based on the improved firefly optimization algorithm. First, a chaotic mapping model based on the fusion of Tent and Ushiki is proposed. Second, for the lack of parameter optimization in chaotic models in general, we introduce the firefly optimization algorithm and optimize the algorithm for the shortcomings in terms of the adaptive step size, the adjustment factor and the inertia weights. Finally, the improved firefly algorithm is used for the fusion of the chaotic parameters of Tent and Ushiki. In the simulation experiments, this paper’s algorithm performs well in the statistical analysis and adjacent element correlation of the classical image test and significantly outperforms the comparative algorithms in terms of information entropy and anti-attack, which demonstrates that the algorithm is able to optimize the image encryption effect better.

This paper presents an analysis and discussion on the utilization of the latest IPv6 network transmission protocol technology to enhance the application of data collection in university education, with a specific focus on gathering information related to university faculties. By leveraging web engineering and multimedia technology as fundamental components, the network facilitates the sharing of educational resources among students, thereby enabling the reform of management approaches, fostering educational progress in China, and establishing a comprehensive big data-driven education platform specifically tailored to colleges and universities. Additionally, the incorporation of big data visualization and analysis tools allows for easy retrieval of existing university educational information, facilitates the creation of data charts, and expedites the utilization of data for its inherent value. Finally, the proposed approach employs generative AI to collect and analyze feedback from students and educators, followed by the application of web engineering techniques to continuously enhance the online education platform based on this feedback.
Representations of Older People in Advertising: A Review
Authors: Prieler Michael
Published: April 2024

Abstract: Societies around the world are increasingly aging; nevertheless, older people in advertising are still mostly underrepresented. This article gives an overview of the literature on this topic showing that older people (roughly 60 years old and above) are nearly invisible in advertising, particularly older women. In terms of their assigned roles in advertising representation, older people are mostly not shown in major roles in Western countries, while in an East Asian context older people are more often shown in such roles. Finally, globally older people are mostly depicted with other age groups and rarely alone, are generally shown in positive ways, and there are few cultural differences between these representations. Based on my literature review, I identify several suggestions for future research on representations of older people in advertising.
A Brief History of Memetic Advertising from Trade Cards to the Internet
Authors: Vardeman Christopher
Published: April 2024

Abstract: Internet memes have become such a prevalent aspect of contemporary social media communication that brands have begun to use them as vehicles for advertising. However, the concept of a meme predates its colloquial understanding as an internet-based artifact. Advertisers have been creating memes—and conversely, incorporated memes into advertisements—for longer than these modern technologies and platforms have existed. This original historical account applies memetic theory to a selection of advertising forms, campaigns, and influential individuals throughout modern history in an effort to trace the relationship between memes and advertising from the early seventeenth century to the dawn of the internet era. Of specific interest in this history is how advertisers and creators have relied upon memetic processes of imitation and transformation to maximize advertising effectiveness, memorability, and longevity through consumers' existing knowledge of content and form. Though necessarily limited in scope, this account provides a first step toward documenting how advertisers have implemented memetic approaches over time and how they inform current internet-based memetic advertising practice.
Translating Visuals into Words: An Analysis of Audio Descriptions in Ads for Blind and Visually Impaired Consumers
Authors: Sridharan Nisha , Mundel Juan
Published: April 2024

Abstract: Advertisers and brands are increasingly attempting to reach diverse populations that were ignored in previous decades. Although they have made progress, they continue to overlook certain diverse groups. This study focuses on ads designed for blind and visually impaired consumers, more specifically, through audio description. While brands and products rely on visual cues to lure consumers, little is known about how brands communicate with blind and visually impaired consumers about their products and services. An analysis of ads using audio description shows that brands under-describe their products and often leave out important information (e.g., spokesperson identity). Further, the findings of this study suggest that the audio descriptions used in ads are text-dense, which could make processing the persuasive attempt difficult. The results of this study further researchers' and practitioners' understanding of how to provide more inclusive access to product information to visually impaired and blind consumers.
Key Concepts in Advertising: Authenticity
Authors: Serazio Michael , Pooley Jefferson , Timke Edward
Published: April 2024

Abstract: Drawing from his 2023 book The Authenticity Industries: Keeping It "Real" in Media, Culture, and Politics (Stanford University Press), Michael Serazio meets with fellow scholars Jefferson Pooley and Edward Timke to dissect and historicize the concept of authenticity across American culture. They explore three key dimensions of authenticity: personal genuineness, the impact of capitalism, and the quest for uniqueness. The dialogue further ventures into authenticity's role in media, branding, and the evolving discourse on "selling out," suggesting a gradual shift towards acceptance of commercial motives among younger people. They propose critiquing authenticity's potential in consumer culture and political branding and call for reflections on what constitutes authentic connections in an increasingly digital world. The conversation sheds light on the complexities and significance of authenticity in contemporary society, especially as various industries use it to sell and persuade.
Slightly Disappointing Ruins and the Facades of Tourist Imagery
Authors: Frederiksen Martin Demant , Ulfstjerne Michael Alexander
Published: April 2024

Abstract: This article explores ruins perceived as disappointing and computer-generated imagery (CGI) in the context of film induced tourism. Specifically, we take a closer look at how CGI for the popular Game of Thrones television series has influenced travelers’ expectations and local guides’ repertoires on selected locations in Croatia. The authors ask: what kind of contemporary artefact is a CGI-still; how does it relate to other “standard” material artefacts used or (re)constructed within heritage tourism? Building on episodic observations from fieldwork on the coast of Dalmatia since 2016, and through a small detour to the earliest backlots and filmset facades of Hollywood’s Golden Age, Frederiksen and Ulfstjerne argue that CGI-stills are a layer unto locations that has practical, material, economic and social consequences. Contributing to larger debates over authenticity and commodification in tourism-and heritage studies, we argue that these added “fictive” layers become part of local history, and potentially also to local heritage.
Meister Eckhart on the World-Shaping Power of an Equal Mind
Authors: Knauf Christopher Malcolm
Published: April 2024

Abstract: The focus of this essay is Meister Eckhart's references in the sixth of his "Talks on Discernment" to having an "equal mind." This rather unassuming early metaphor foreshadows many of Eckhart's better-known teachings, such as the "just man," the "ground of the soul," and the "birth of God in the soul." The goal of the essay is to demonstrate the potential of the daily practice of an "equal mind" to transform one's view of the "other," and so to neutralize the ultimately and frighteningly destructive tendency in current discourse to polarize and divide.
Dynamic accuracy measurement method for star trackers using a time-synchronized high-accuracy turntable
Authors: Lu Rui , Zhang Jianfu , Han Xing , Wu Yanpeng , Li Lin
Published: April 2024

Star trackers are typically used in a spacecraft to provide absolute attitude information to the on-board attitude control system so as to promote high accuracy. The performance of the star tracker is rather important. Attitude incorrectness provided by star trackers may lead to bad navigation with big deviations, even failure of satellites. Therefore, how to realize and verify the accuracy is crucial. As a matter of fact, it is difficult to validate accuracy of star trackers on the ground, especially for star trackers under highly dynamic conditions. In this paper, an accuracy measurement method for star trackers under dynamic conditions is proposed, utilizing a high-accuracy swing table to provide reference to compare. To this end, a swing table, star tracker, and the test equipment are synchronized, in order to reduce systematic errors. As the motion trajectory of the swing table can be set beforehand, the initial attitude of the star tracker can be predicted through a set of coordinate transformations. As a result, the star tracker is able to keep tracking, regardless of the angular velocity of the swing table. This makes the statistical sample points more sufficient and the results more reliable. Moreover, it can evaluate the angular velocity of star trackers up to 20°/s. In comparison with the conventional method with simulated stars, this method utilizes real navigation stars as observation targets making the measurement results much closer to the on-orbit performance. Lastly, but much more importantly, it can also verify the performance of a star tracker in one experiment, such as sensitivity, static performance, capture probability, and so on. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is effective, especially for highly dynamic star trackers. Such a measurement environment is close to the in-orbit conditions, and it can satisfy the stringent requirement for star trackers under high dynamics.

Authors: Silander Isak , Zakrisson Johan , Axner Ove , Zelan Martin
Published: April 2024

Based on a recent experimental determination of the static polarizability and a first-principle calculation of the frequency-dependent dipole polarizability of argon, this work presents, by using a Fabry–Perot refractometer operated at 1550 nm, a realization of the SI unit of pressure, the pascal, for pressures up to 100 kPa, with an uncertainty of [(1.0 mPa)2 + (5.8 × 10−6 P)2 + (26 × 10−12P2)2]1/2. The work also presents a value of the molar polarizability of N2 at 1550 nm and 302.9146 K of 4.396572(26) × 10−6 m3/mol, which agrees well with previously determined ones.
Graphene oxide 2D films for integrated photonic thermo-optic devices
Authors: Moss David
Published: April 2024

Efficient heat management and control in optical devices, facilitated by advanced thermo-optic materials, is critical for many applications such as photovoltaics, thermal emitters, mode-locked lasers, and optical switches. Here, we investigate the thermo-optic properties of 2D graphene oxide (GO) films by precisely integrating them onto microring resonators (MRRs) with control over the film thicknesses and lengths. We characterize the refractive index, extinction coefficient, thermo-optic coefficient, and thermal conductivity of for the GO films with different layer numbers and degrees of reduction, including reversible reduction and enhanced optical bistability induced by photo-thermal effects. Experimental results show that the thermo-optic properties of 2D GO films vary widely with the degree of reduction, with significant polarization anisotropy, enabling efficient polarization sensitive devices. The versatile thermo-optic response of 2D GO substantially expands the scope of functionalities and devices that can be engineered, making it promising for a diverse range of thermo-optic applications.
Fitness trade-offs and the origins of endosymbiosis
Authors: Brockhurst Michael A. , Cameron Duncan D. , Beckerman Andrew P.
Published: April 2024

Endosymbiosis drives evolutionary innovation and underpins the function of diverse ecosystems. The mechanistic origins of symbioses, however, remain unclear, in part because early evolutionary events are obscured by subsequent evolution and genetic drift. This Essay highlights how experimental studies of facultative, host-switched, and synthetic symbioses are revealing the important role of fitness trade-offs between within-host and free-living niches during the early-stage evolution of new symbiotic associations. The mutational targets underpinning such trade-offs are commonly regulatory genes, such that single mutations have major phenotypic effects on multiple traits, thus enabling and reinforcing the transition to a symbiotic lifestyle.
Hypertension subtypes at high altitude in Peru: Analysis of the Demographic and Family Health Survey 2016–2019
Authors: Ortiz-Saavedra Brando , Montes-Madariaga Elizbet S. , Moreno-Loaiza Oscar , Toro-Huamanchumo Carlos J.
Published: April 2024

Background

The prevalence of hypertension in Peru has increased over the years. Approximately one third of the Peruvian population lives at high altitudes. This population presents particular physiological, genetic and environmental characteristics that could be related to the prevalence of hypertension and its subtypes.

Objective

To assess the association between altitude and hypertension in the Peruvian population through an analysis of a nationally representative survey.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the Demographic and Family Health Survey for the period 2016–2019. We included 122,336 individuals aged 18 years and older. Hypertension was defined according to the JNC-7 guidelines. High-altitude location was defined as a residential cluster located above 2,500 meters above sea level. We utilized generalized linear models from the Poisson family with a log-link function to assess the magnitude of the association between high altitude and hypertension. Additionally, we employed multinomial regression models to analyze the association between high altitude and subtypes of hypertension, including isolated systolic hypertension (ISH), isolated diastolic hypertension (IDH), and systolic-diastolic hypertension (SDH).

Results

In the adjusted Poisson regression model, we found that the prevalence of hypertension among participants living at high altitudes was lower compared to those living at low altitudes (aPR: 0.89; 95% CI: 0.86–0.93). In the adjusted multinomial regression model, we observed a lower prevalence rate of ISH among participants residing at high altitudes (aRPR: 0.68; 95% CI: 0.61–0.73) and a higher prevalence rate of IDH among participants residing at high altitudes (aRPR: 1.60; 95% CI: 1.32–1.94).

Conclusions

Residents at high altitudes in Peru have a lower prevalence rate of ISH and a higher prevalence rate of IDH compared to those living at low altitudes. Further studies are needed to determine the influence of other biological, environmental, and healthcare access factors on this relationship.
Branding or visual storytelling? How legacy media use visual journalism to reach young people in the age of digitalization
Authors: Haugfos Peder , Dahl John Magnus , Kratzer Jan , Wolf Ines
Published: April 2024

This article discusses how legacy media companies are responding to the real or imagined challenge of reaching young people in the age of digitalization, by investigating two different strategies for how to make use of the so-called Generation Z’s preference for sensory and visual journalism. Through expert interviews, we present how the Norwegian public broadcaster NRK P3 and the biggest newspaper in Norway, VG, approach the challenge of catching young people’s attention. We identify two strategies for how legacy media companies work with visual expressions and designing their digital content when trying to reach a wide, fragmented young target group on digital platforms. VG is a platform-oriented storyteller where design is connected to the direction and mode of storytelling and tailored to fit certain platforms. Their area of focus is to be where their target groups are and to meet the visual expectations of these audiences by taking cues from what is trending on different platforms. NRK P3 takes the approach of a traditional brander that works in both visionary and traditional ways to build a strong, trustworthy and visible brand. We conclude by pointing out possible problems with both approaches.
Corporate social responsibility bridges in the context of tourism service providers
Authors: Alsheyab Mousa , Filimon Nela , Fusté-Forné Francesc
Published: April 2024

This research focuses on the corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices of tourism service providers (TSPs – tour operators, travel agencies, tourism transportation agencies, among others). We analyse TSP’s collaborative efforts through CSR practices and their social, economic and environmental dimensions. Building on a qualitative framework, we conducted structured personal interviews with fifteen representatives of Jordanian TSPs. Several contributions are worth mentioning: the analysis allows for a broader understanding of CSR practices adopted by TSPs to serve as mutual support bridges between TSPs and stakeholders in the hospitality and tourism industry; CSR practices, benefits and barriers faced by TSPs; gender gap emerging from TSPs employment policies and intersectionality; TSPs and job and tourist opportunities for people with special needs; CSR practices, sustainability and community welfare, among others. This empirical article offers insights from Jordan’s small tourism businesses, a case previously not analysed. Limitations and implications for decision-makers are also discussed.

Del lado de acá. Una revisión desde Europa de la expedición tripartita a México (1861-1862)
Authors: Santirso Rodríguez Manuel
Published: April 2024

El desenlace de la expedición hispano-franco-británica a México de 1861-1862 ha sido explicado a menudo como consecuencia de decisiones individuales, sobre todo las del general español Juan Prim. Sin embargo, la retirada del contingente a su mando estaba prevista de antemano en las directrices de su Gobierno, presidido por Leopoldo O’Donnell y con Saturnino Calderón Collantes como ministro de Estado. Los tres mandatarios actuaron siempre de común acuerdo y superando la imposibilidad material de una comunicación rápida.
La correspondencia diplomática entre los diversos países implicados demuestra que el Gobierno español no buscó reconquistar México ni –a diferencia del francés– instaurar una monarquía en aquel país, sino proteger a sus nacionales y afirmar su influencia, combinando la exhibición de fuerza militar y las negociaciones políticas.
González Bravo o el final de la era isabelina. Una revisión crítica a través de la prensa liberal: La Nueva Iberia
Authors: Vilar Maria Jose
Published: April 2024

El nombramiento de González Bravo como primer ministro, tras la muerte del duque de Valencia, trajo consigo una concatenación de infaustas decisiones, desatando una muerte anunciada, que terminó por cristalizarse en la Revolución septembrina; desde la deposición del partido moderado al autodestierro de la reina Isabel II. Este artículo analiza estos sucesos en base a un pormenorizado y exhaustivo vaciado de la prensa coetánea, prestando especial atención al discurso crítico y analítico de los diarios progresistas, en especial La Nueva Iberia, a fin de conocer en profundidad qué noticias ocupaban los diarios; cuáles eran las que realmente preocupaban a la ciudadanía; qué cuestiones y/o disputas transcendieron del plano estrictamente político, implicándose los bastiones editoriales representantes de los grandes partidos; hasta qué punto la prensa ejerció su función de cuarto poder; y cuál fue su grado de conocimiento en todo aquel proceso revolucionario

Aproximación a la situación que atravesó la iglesia vallisoletana en esos difíciles años en los que la política de separación Iglesia-Estado puso fin al presupuesto de culto y clero, haciendo depender de la colaboración ciudadana tanto el mantenimiento del culto como el sostenimiento económico del personal eclesiástico.
Se parte de las múltiples realidades que anidaban en el tejido diocesano español y el diferencial impacto que hubo de tener la legislación laicista de los gobiernos republicanos, optando por un estudio de caso—la archidiócesis vallisoletana—para el analizar el que fue modelo alternativo de financiación eclesiástica desde finales del año 1931.

Jaika Grossman formó parte de las juventudes judías que resistieron la política de persecución del nazismo. Militante de la organización sionista-socialista “Hashomer Hatzair”, integró la resistencia clandestina en el gueto de Bialystock. A posteriori, como sobreviviente y emigrada al  Estado de Israel, fue una de las referentes del partido de izquierda MAPAM. En su derrotero político, Jaika Grossman visitó Argentina en tres oportunidades: 1963, 1967 y 1985. En estas ocasiones haría uso de la experiencia de resistencia contra el nazismo para interpelar a diversos actores públicos y étnico-comunitarios. El presente trabajo se propone relevar cuáles fueron los modos en los que la memoria de la resistencia judía durante el Holocausto circuló en el país en contextos específicos: los de la radicalización política y la recuperación democrática. Esta aproximación, a su vez, tendrá en cuenta las implicancias y sentidos cambiantes de la recepción del conflicto árabe-israelí en la agenda política local.
Wright’s path analysis: Causal inference in the early twentieth century
Authors: Dong Zili
Published: April 2024

Despite being a milestone in the history of statistical causal inference, Sewall Wright’s 1918 invention of path analysis did not receive much immediate attention from the statistical and scientific community. Through a careful historical analysis, this paper reveals some previously overlooked philosophical issues concerning the history of causal inference. Placing the invention of path analysis in a broader historical and intellectual context, I portray the scientific community’s initial lack of interest in the method as a natural consequence of relevant scientific and philosophical conditions. In addition to Karl Pearson’s positivist refutation of causation, I contend that the acceptance of path analysis faced several other challenges, including the introduction of a new formalism, conceptual barriers to causal inference, and the lack of model-based statistical thinking. The presence of these challenges shows that the delayed progress in causal inference in the early twentieth century was inevitable.
Are online meatball restaurants in Indonesia committed to their declared Halal label?

Background and Aim: Halal restaurants participating in online food delivery services do not require halal certification. The Halal status of products through the Halal logo provides the consumer with information on the basis of which he decides to buy. Online transactions involve potential risks related to online processes, payment methods, and product quality. The aim of this study was to determine whether a declared Halal label is in accordance with the business processes implemented.

Materials and Methods: Halal authentication of Gofood's meatball partner products in Yogyakarta and Solo Raya determined the incompatibility of meatball ingredients. Sixty meatball samples were collected from Yogyakarta and 30 samples from Solo Raya. Halal certification test was carried out using the thermal cycle polymerase chain reaction method at Universitas Gadjah Mada Animal Husbandry Laboratory and the results were used to identify pork contamination in meatballs. The addition of pork or pork meatballs was used as a control.

Results: Eight meatball restaurants in the Solo Raya and Yogyakarta areas were found to be contaminated with pig DNA. The results of the tracing materials and processes, i.e., the grinding stage, are critical because all samples were supposed to be made from beef. It is known from interviews that contamination with pig DNA at the milling stage was accidental.

Conclusion: Restaurants that sell meatballs are committed to adhering to product labels that are 91.1% safe from pork contamination. The Halal and original beef labels were in accordance with their statements. This study highlights the concept of Halal authentication with traceability to overcome pork contamination in meat products.

Keywords: halal authentication, halal supply chain, online food delivery, traceability.

The Age of Dualism is the period of establishing the “Rechtsstaat”, and an important step in this protest was the first criminal code (Act 5 of 1878) coming into effect in 1880. At the time of the 1867 Austro-Hungarian Compromise, the Hungarian legal system was not unified. In Transylvania, Croatia, Fiume and the Military Frontier Austrian law remained in effect, whereas in the smaller Hungary, the system was built upon the laws established by the Conference of Lord Chief Justice. The decision of the Conference of Lord Chief Justice reintroduced the old common law from before 1848 with some corrections, and kept some indispensable Austrian laws in effect. The Compromise (Act 30 of 1868) gave Croatia autonomy of legislation, therefore here the development of law was completely different than in the other parts of the country, where the appointment of the government started codification in every branch of law (judiciary system, criminal law, civil law) with the aim of eliminating the chaos. The legislation procedure had two phases: preparation by the government and the parliamentary phase. In connection with the preparatory phase there was a debate about the method to apply (one person or a committee) and about the legislative body (should it be within the Ministry of Justice, under the government or an external body). During the codification of criminal legislation almost all of the above methods were employed. Legal journalism is an important source, but systematic Hungarian research into it has hitherto been missing. In order to get a clearer understanding of the codification process and the problems arising from the absence of a criminal code, the research would also need to be extended to legal journalism. This is proven by the brief presentation of three general (identification of the law in force, undetermined crimes, undetermined punishments) and three specific (libels, slander, martial law) problems.

Modeling of Risk Factors for Vulnerable Road Users’ Crashes on National Highways Passing through Medium-sized Indian Cities
Authors:   University College of Engineering Kakinada (UCEK),, Gandupalli Srinivasa
Published: April 2024

The safety of vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians, bicyclists and motorised twowheelers, on national highways passing through urban areas has been a significant concern in developing countries like India. This study analyzes Visakhapatnam police crash data (2014-2017) to identify high-risk road segments to vulnerable road users. Establishing negative binomial models helps analyze risk variables for fatal and injury crashes concerning several susceptible road users on mid-block sections. Further, this study focuses on site-specific information collected from road-safety audits, speed, average daily traffic, length of road section and percentage of two-wheelers, also considered to fully help understand the likelihood of a crash. The statistical analysis of this paper identified the risk variables, like length of road segment, presence of service roads, land-use type (i.e., commercial/mixed land use), number of curves and average daily traffic associated with the incidence of fatal and injury crashes of vulnerable road users in Visakhapatnam city, India. The conclusions highlight the crucial safety measures that transportation planners and policymakers must take to create a more secure environment for road users. Keywords: Vulnerable road users, Mid-block sections, Negative binomial models, Crash, Count-data models, Safety measures.
Możliwości wykorzystania metafor konwencjonalnych w nauczaniu słownictwa i frazeologii języków obcych na przykładzie języka polskiego jako obcego

The article discusses the use of conventional metaphors, proposed by G. Lakoff and M. Johnson, as a tool for teaching vocabulary and phraseology at advanced levels of language proficiency in the context of learning Polish as a foreign language. As this methodology is insufficiently represented in teaching materials, the article highlights the advantages of a systematic and long-term approach to teaching metaphors. Such advantages include deepening knowledge of vocabulary by a consideration of metaphorical meanings, understanding the role of metaphors in mental processes; providing insights into Polish culture and mentality as well as into the students’ own cultures, as expressed through their native languages; and stimulating students’ mediation skills. The article also provides examples of exercises to aid the discovery of different types of conventional metaphors and establish an understanding of their function. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of developing collections of exercises and projects – in both printed and interactive forms — to support language learners. Overall, the article promotes the use of conventional metaphors as an effective method for improving linguistic and communicative competence in foreign language learning.
