Authors: Chandel Priyanka Singh , Pandey S.N
Published: February 2025

Contours of Change follow the experience of Gauri, Jhumpa Lahiri's first-generation female heroine, through migration and cultural transition. Set in the politically heated milieu of 1960s Kolkata, the story tracks Gauri's development as she navigates the unsettling repercussions of her move from India to the United States. Gauri defies traditional gender stereotypes in her quest of intellectual independence and personal autonomy, making bold decisions that both empower and alienate her.This study digs into the complex dynamics of female empowerment, (dis)empowerment, and self-reinvention in the context of migration, examining transcultural transformations and tensions between individual identity and cultural memory. Gauri's journey emphasizes the contrasts inherent in her change, providing a lens through which we may better grasp the broader themes of identity and agency in the diasporic experience.
भारतीय राजनीति में महिला प्रतिनिधित्व
Authors: Singh Smt. Sadhana , Singh Azad Pratap
Published: February 2025

आधुनिक राजनीति में महिला प्रतिनिधित्व एक महत्वपूर्ण विषय है, इसे महिलाओं की स्थिति की समग्र प्रगति का एक चरण कहा जा सकता है। चुनावी राजनीति में महिलाओं का प्रतिनिधित्व विभिन्न कानून बनाने मे सहायक हो सकता है, अतः इसे बढ़ावा देने के लिए संवैधानिक स्तर पर उपाय किए जा सकते हैं, जिससे अंततः व्यावहारिक रूप से राजनीतिक क्षेत्र मे बदलाव हो सकते हंै। महिलाओं का प्रतिनिधित्व लोकतंत्र के लिए महत्वपूर्ण है, और इसका मतलब है निर्णय लेने की प्रक्रिया में महिलाओं की सक्रिय भागीदारी। महिलाओं की चुनावी भागीदारी जनता और राजनीतिक अभिजात वर्ग के बीच एक संबंध स्थापित करती है। इसके अलावा, महिलाओं की चुनावी भागीदारी राजनीतिक प्राधिकरण की वैधता को मजबूत करके स्थिरता और व्यवस्था को बढ़ावा देती है। लोकतंत्र का तात्पर्य चुनावी प्रक्रिया में पात्र नागरिकों की सार्वभौमिक भागीदारी हैं ऐसे मे यदि महिलाओं का प्रतिनिधित्व वांछित स्तर मे कम है, तो एक कार्यात्मक लोकतांत्रिक व्यवस्था स्थापित नही की जा सकती है। हमारे समाज की सामाजिक-आर्थिक और राजनैतिक स्थितियों मे महिलाएँ हमेशा कम लाभप्रद स्थिति में रही है क्योंकि सदियों से सामाजिक संस्थाआंे के कामकाज ने महिलाओं को एक संकीर्ण दायरे मे धकेल दिया है, इसलिए बातचीत करने की उनकी शक्ति हमेशा सीमित रही है। ऐसे में सच्ची लोंकतात्रिक भावना उभर नही सकती। इसलिए, मौजूदा व्यवस्था के लोकतांत्रिक कामकाज को सुनिश्चित करने के लिए अधिक से अधिक महिलाओं की भागीदारी आवश्यक है। हमारे संविधान ने कल्याण की अवधारणा को इसमें शामिल किया है जिसका तात्पर्य हमारे जीवन में समग्र सुधार से है। इस अर्थ मे, यह उल्लेख करना आवश्यक है कि कुछ मुद्दे है जो महिलाओं के लिए विशेष है। ये बड़े मुद्दे है जिन्हें पेश करने और बढ़ावा देने की आवश्यकता है। इस उद्देश्य के लिए निरंतर प्रयास की आवश्यकता है यह ऐसे मुद्दे है, जिन्हे केवल महिलाएं ही उजागर कर सकती है और उनकी समस्याओं को हल करने की दिशा में काम कर सकती है। चुनावी प्रक्रिया में महिलाओं की बढ़ती भागीदारी महिला सशक्तिकरण को भी सुनिश्चित करती है। वास्तव मे, लोकतांत्रिक प्रणाली के सफल संचालन के लिए उनकी भागीदारी आवश्यक है। राज्य या केंद्रीय विधायिका मे महिलाओं का प्रतिनिधित्व आज भी कम है, जो लोकतंत्र का अच्छा संकेत नही है। हम सरकार के कामकाज मेेें महिला प्रतिनिधित्व के बारे मे देश की जमीनी स्थिति से अच्छी तरह वाकिफ है यह कठोर वास्तविक लैंगिक समानता के मुद्दे को भी सामने लाती है। सांख्यिकीय रूप से, यह साबित हो चुका है कि महिलाएं पारंपरिक रूप से राजनीतिक भागीदारी पर कम ध्यान केंद्रित करती है। भारत के संविधान मे हालांकि लोकतांत्रिक मूल्यों को बहुत उच्च सम्मान दिया गया है, और संवैधानिक प्रावधान हमारे देश के लोकतांत्रिक व्यवस्था को बेहतर बनाने पर जोर देते है, लेकिन निर्णय लेने मंे महिलाओं को प्रतिनिधत्व के लिए अभी भी एक लंबा रास्ता तय करना है। कानून बनाने मे, महिलाओं की भागीदारी जरूरी है। महिलाएं महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभा सकती है और महिलाओं से संबंधित कानून बनाने मे मदद कर सकती है। इसका परिणाम अंततः महिलाओं के सशक्तीकरण मे होगा। महिलाओं को सशक्त बनाना और उनका आगे आना और अधिक से अधिक सार्वजनिक स्थान पर कब्जा करना लोकतंत्र को मजबूत करता है। दूसरे शब्दों मे, महिला प्रतिनिधित्व विधायिका मे अधिक भागीदारी और दृश्यता ला सकता है। जो लंबे समय में लोकतंत्र को मजबूत करने के लिए एक प्रणाली बनाने मे मदद करेगा।

पं0 दीनदयाल उपाध्याय राजनेता मात्र नहीं थे, वह उच्च कोटि के चिंतक, विचारक और लेखक भी थे। इस रूप में उन्होंने श्रेष्ठ शक्तिशाली और संतुलित रूप में विकसित राष्ट्र की कल्पना की थी। उन्होंने निजी हित व सुख सुविधाओं का त्याग कर दिया था। व्यक्तिगत जीवन में उनकी कोई महत्वाकांक्षा भी नहीं थी। उन्होंने अपना जीवन समाज और राष्ट्र को समर्पित कर दिया था। यही बात उन्हें महान बनाती है। राजनीति में लगातार सक्रियता के बाद भी वह अध्ययन व लेखन के लिये समय निकालते थे। इसके लिये वह अपने विश्राम के समय में से कटौती करते थे। इसी में लोगों से मिलने जुलने और अनवरत यात्राओं का क्रम भी चलता था। आमजन के बीच रहना उन्हें अच्छा लगता था। शायद यही कारण था कि वह देश के आम व्यक्ति की समस्याओं को भलीभांति समझ चुके थे। यह विषय उनके चिंतन व अध्ययन में समाहित था।
AN EVALUATION OF POTENTIALS AND CHALLENGES FACED BY NGOS IN KARNATAKA
Authors: V L Bhavani , D Sarala
Published: February 2025

This paper provides an in-depth evaluation of the potentials and challenges faced by Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) operating in Karnataka, a state characterized by significant socio-economic diversity. NGOs in Karnataka play a pivotal role in addressing issues such as poverty, education, healthcare, women’s empowerment, and environmental conservation, particularly in rural and marginalized communities. The study highlights the potential of NGOs to collaborate with government agencies, leverage Karnataka's progressive policies, and harness the state's strong educational and technological resources to enhance the impact of their interventions. Karnataka’s vibrant civil society, combined with increasing public awareness and engagement, further boosts the opportunities for NGOs to make meaningful contributions. However, the paper also identifies several challenges that hinder the effectiveness and sustainability of NGOs in the region. Resource constraints, including dependency on external funding, pose a significant challenge to the long-term viability of many organizations. Political interference and bureaucratic hurdles, along with a complex regulatory environment, further complicate NGO operations. In addition, the lack of professional management capacity and the diverse socio-political climate add to the difficulties NGOs face in implementing their programs. Furthermore, NGOs operating in remote or rural areas encounter logistical barriers due to geographical challenges and the need for culturally sensitive approaches in a state with diverse linguistic and ethnic groups.This evaluation underscores the importance of fostering an enabling environment for NGOs through strengthened policies, better financial sustainability, and capacity-building initiatives. By addressing these challenges and capitalizing on available opportunities, NGOs in Karnataka can maximize their contributions toward sustainable development and social progress, ensuring more inclusive growth for the state’s communities.

Authors: Yogitha Devi  , K M Devaraja Nayaka
Published: February 2025

The fintech industry in India has undergone a significant transformation over the past two decades, driven by technological advancements, regulatory support, and increasing digital adoption. This study explores the evolution and growth of fintech industries in India, highlighting key milestones, emerging trends, and challenges in the sector. The fintech revolution in India began with digital banking and core banking solutions (CBS) in the early 2000s. However, the industry gained momentum in the 2010s with the introduction of Immediate Payment Service (IMPS), Aadhaar-based authentication, and mobile banking solutions. A major turning point was the demonetization drive of 2016, which accelerated the adoption of digital payments and wallets. The Unified Payments Interface (UPI), launched by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), became a game-changer in peer-to-peer (P2P) and merchant transactions, further boosting financial inclusion.The fintech industry in India has expanded across multiple segments, including digital payments, lending, wealth management (WealthTech), insurance technology (InsurTech), and regulatory technology (RegTech). Companies like Paytm, PhonePe, Zerodha, Lendingkart, and PolicyBazaar have played a crucial role in reshaping financial services. Additionally, emerging trends such as open banking, decentralized finance (DeFi), embedded finance, and AI-driven financial solutions continue to shape the industry’s future. Despite rapid growth, challenges such as cybersecurity threats, regulatory uncertainties, and financial literacy gaps remain. However, continued government initiatives, technological innovations, and digital penetration are expected to drive the sector's expansion. This study concludes that fintech in India has revolutionized financial services, significantly improving accessibility, efficiency, and inclusivity, with immense potential for future growth.

Published: February 2025

Salt production in the form of coarse salt has a quality with a NaCl salt content of about 94%, which can still meet the requirements as raw material for table salt. Meanwhile, the minimum quality of salt containing NaCl content is required at least 97% for industrial salt needs. Hence, this research aimed to increase the quality of coarse salt from salt farmers to raise the salt selling value by producing health salt. The research method included making a salt house, making salt water with a baume content of about 25-29 Bé°, crystallization, and filtering / draining the Health Salt. The next step was the salt mineral test using the spectrophotometer method. The test results showed that the NaCl content reached 99.35%, while the SNI: 8027:2016 requires a minimum of 97% as industrial salt. Crystal salts are pollutants-free due to the levels of heavy metals (Cadmium, Cd), Mercury (Hg), and minerals that are harmful to health. Iodine, Magnesium, and Calcium are smaller, and the results of laboratory tests are 0.001 mg/kg when compared with SNI: 8027:2016 of 0.1% maximum. Bittern produces very prominent data, namely Magnesium (Mg) with the highest content of 616.67 mg/kg and Potassium (K) of 84.85 mg/kg. It was concluded that the resulting crystal salt qualified as industrial and health salt.

Pemanfaatan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi merupakan kunci dalam mempercepat perbaikan kinerja birokrasi dan tata kelola pemerintahan. Sistem pemerintahan berbasis elektronik telah menjadi upaya strategis pemerintah dalam memperkuat aparatur negara, di mana Pejabat Pengelola Informasi dan Dokumentasi (PPID) memainkan peran vital. Meskipun banyak manfaat yang ditawarkan, penerapan PPID masih menghadapi tantangan signifikan, terutama terkait dengan keterbatasan kapasitas sumber daya manusia dalam mengelola informasi yang dibutuhkan masyarakat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menemukan solusi dalam memperkuat kelembagaan PPID di Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif deskriptif, penelitian ini melibatkan enam Badan Publik yang dikategorikan dari Informatif hingga Tidak Informatif sebagai sampel. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi, yang kemudian dianalisis menggunakan teknik Reduksi Data, Display Data, dan Verifikasi Data. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa setiap Badan Publik telah menjalankan keterbukaan informasi sesuai dengan amanat undang-undang, baik secara langsung maupun melalui media online, dengan fokus pada penyebaran informasi melalui website PPID masing-masing. Kendala utama yang dihadapi oleh Badan Publik adalah keterbatasan anggaran, infrastruktur teknologi, dan minimnya pengembangan sumber daya manusia (SDM), terutama pada Badan Publik dengan kategori non-informatif. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan strategi penguatan kelembagaan melalui peningkatan alokasi anggaran, pengembangan kapasitas SDM, pembaruan infrastruktur teknologi, serta kolaborasi dengan lembaga eksternal. Implementasi strategi ini diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kinerja PPID dan mendorong terciptanya tata kelola pemerintahan yang lebih transparan, akuntabel, dan responsif terhadap kebutuhan masyarakat.

Academic Medicine: Characteristics of Alumni Donors
Authors: Aarestad Karen , James Russell
Published: February 2025

Abstract: Medical school fundraising from alumni offers some unique challenges in higher education. Studies have shown that the student experience of undergraduate alumni tends to influence their philanthropic behavior as alumni. However, the experiences of graduate level professional training in medical school can be very different from the undergraduate alumni experience. This study begins to identify the specific characteristics of individual alumni donors to a public medical school within a large, research-intensive university. Using regression analysis, this research suggests potential predictors of philanthropy from alumni to academic medicine. In practice, this research suggests that giving to graduate schools may not follow the same patterns that exist among alumni donors to undergraduate education. The demographic data that informs decisions about alumni outreach and engagement should reference past philanthropic outcomes in order to maximize giving among similar constituent groups. This case study outlines the key variables to consider.
Reframing Anthropologies of Alumni Support Behaviors
Authors: Weerts David J.
Published: February 2025

Abstract: Among the most well-worn scholarly questions in the field of educational advancement is, “Why do alumni give to their alma mater?” Studies designed to answer this question rely on a certain set of assumptions about human behavior. In this research note, I explore four distinctive human anthropologies as they explain human motivation, and specifically, philanthropic behavior among college and university alumni. Drawing on the language and conceptual containers of sociologist, Christian Smith, these anthropological frames include: alumni as rationally acquisitive individuals, alumni as materialist group-interest seekers, alumni as dependent norm-followers, and alumni as natural-goods-seeking persons. This research note illustrates how all four anthropological frames provide value in guiding research and practice in the field of educational philanthropy. The practice of reframing anthropologies of alumni support behaviors can surface unexamined assumptions and catalyze new ways of thinking to improve research and practice in the field.
The Art of Institutional Advancement: How Campus Artifacts Support Fundraising in Higher Education
Authors: Darby Le’Passion
Published: February 2025

Abstract: Both institutional advancement offices and campus artifacts are essential to the fundraising efforts of colleges and universities. When fused strategically, campus artifacts and institutional advancement practices have resulted in unprecedented fundraising success for higher education. Through three case studies—1) art and the selling of art collections, 2) architecture and the naming process, and 3) social media pages and marketing/branding, this literature review proves the reciprocal nature of campus artifacts and fundraising agendas; it curates evidence from both higher education and institutional advancement literature and defines and categorizes campus artifacts. Implications for other uses of campus artifacts in higher education administration conclude the review.
African Literary Metadata and Makerere University's Library
Authors: Harris Ashleigh
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT: While Africanist librarians have often pointed out the inadequacies of the international library classification system for the cataloging of African materials, subject specialists in African literature have paid little attention to the problem of how African literatures are cataloged in the world's leading classification systems. This is so despite the fact that diverse modalities of African literary production (from oral forms, to ephemeral print literatures and pamphlets, to a variety of Web 2.0 forms) sit uncomfortably in existing classification schemes, just as they have troubled hermeneutic and analytical methodologies in the field of African literature for decades. This article provides a case study of the history of the cataloging system at Makerere University Library and discusses how this has come to shape the body of African literature housed there, even to this day. I focus on Makerere University because of its key position in debates and discussions about the politics of Anglophone African literature in the 1960s, as well as the fact that it was the training ground of major African literary scholars, activists, writers, and educators. This makes it the perfect microcosm through which to think about the role of cataloging systems in the structuring of disciplinary and political knowledge. The article focuses on African Literature in the Dewey Decimal Classification system and the Library of Congress Subject Catalogues and then close-reads the library in Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o's A Grain of Wheat by way of showing how imbricated library classification was in colonial ontologies and how this played out, not only in the placement of literature on library shelves, but also in literary content.
Listening to Mati Diop's Atlantique : Sound Waves and the Acoustics of Memory
Authors: Forfert Pierre
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT: In an interview featured in the official press release of Atlantique (2019), Mati Diop explains how she wanted the soundtrack of her film to carry the "invisible dimension of the movie." Focusing on auditory attunement to grasp what remains inaccessible to the ocular, this article engages in an exercise of close-listening to explore the mnemonic and generative potential of Atlantique 's sounds for apprehending stories of migration between Senegal and Europe. Through an analysis of scores and ambient noises, I suggest that the filmic embodiment of those who died at sea builds on an aural register that makes the haunting return of their spirits primarily sonorous. Attentive to the sonic reverberations that punctuate the film's tracks, I further argue that acoustic waves—in their soundshifting forms—subtend an aquatic echoic memory, which counters the derealizing absence and silence of those who no longer appear on screen.
The Indochina War Syndrome: Transimperial Displacement and Trauma
Authors: Boutouba Jimia
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT: This article examines the history and trajectories of African troops who were sent to fight in the Indochina War (1946–54). Over the period of the war, the influx of a large number of colonial troops from the global south resulted in a sharp increase in mixed unions and the birth rate of mixed-race children, most of whom were abandoned or forced by the French army to relocate to Africa at the end of the war. In examining how Idrissou Mora-Kpai's award-winning documentary Indochina, Traces of a Mother (2011) brings to the fore this little known story, I show how the film deftly underscores the enduring legacies of colonial biopolitics while also restoring political agency to racial groups conceptualized by the colonial regime as "bare life" that can be disposed of as needed. Through the poetics of memory, affect, and the sensory evocation of forced displacement and rupture, the documentary stimulates new forms of knowledge and critical inquiry, urging the spectator to engage that which has been invisibilized, and to re-assess the cinematic image as a cultural archive.
From the Substantialist Subject to the Ethical Self: Examining the Problem Concerning Susan Barton's Substance in Coetzee's Foe through the Lens of Confucianist Reciprocity
Authors: Shi Juhong , Zhu Gang
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT: This paper approaches J. M. Coetzee's poetics of reciprocity in the comparative context of Western philosophy and Confucianist reciprocity by analyzing the problems encountered by Susan Barton, the protagonist of his novel Foe , as she navigates the quest for her substantial being. It contends that Coetzee intricately problematizes Susan's substance—an important philosophical concept that equals "being" or "ultimate self"—to delve into his reflections on interpersonal relations. Critiquing the Substantialist conception of subjectivity, which stresses individual determinacy and distinctness, Coetzee envisions a new self–other dynamic that echoes Confucianist reciprocity, which puts an asymmetrically higher demand on the self and maintains that becoming a human being means striving to fulfill one's interpersonal relations rather than being absolutely substantial. Approaching Coetzee's poetics of reciprocity in light of Confucianism offers us an opening through which an ethical self–other relation might be reconstructed to reverse the tension between the self and the other in Western philosophy.
Exploring Proficiency and Task Effects on Taiwanese EFL Learners’ Understanding of English Vertical Axis Prepositions: Above, Below, Over, and Under
Authors: Wu Bing-Huan Rory , Chen Chun-Yin Doris
Published: February 2025

This research aims to examine how Taiwanese students, who are learning English as a foreign language, comprehend the core meanings of English vertical axis prepositions such as above, over, below, and under. It also investigates how different proficiency levels and task types influence their understanding of these prepositions. Fifty-four college freshmen participated in the study. They were categorized into basic, intermediate, and advanced proficiency groups. A control group of eighteen native English speakers was also included. Two types of tasks—sentence-in-isolation and sentence-in-context—were employed in a sentence-completion format. The findings suggest that the core meanings of the four prepositions were similarly difficult. However, understanding the extended meaning of under appeared to be the easiest overall, followed by the other three prepositions. Proficiency levels significantly impacted the results. Beginner learners struggled more with extended meanings overall, while advanced learners outperformed intermediate learners in both basic and extended meanings. Additionally, intermediate and advanced learners exhibited similar patterns in acquiring individual extended meanings.

Authors: Dyta Ananda Tuiyo  , Arifin Tahir  , Sukarman Kamuli
Published: February 2025

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of local government administration in Boalemo Regency based on three main dimensions: goal achievement, integration, and adaptation. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection through observation, in-depth interviews, and analysis of official documents. The results showed that in the dimension of achieving goals, the realization of priority programs such as education and health showed significant achievements, although non-priority programs were still not optimal due to fluctuating budget constraints. In the integration dimension, the consistent application of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in agencies such as Dukcapil and BKPSDM increases the efficiency of public services, although limited infrastructure and employee capacity are still an obstacle. Meanwhile, in the adaptation dimension, some OPDs show efforts to adapt to environmental challenges, but limited employee competence and infrastructure facilities are the main obstacles in supporting optimal organizational adaptation. This research concludes that the effectiveness of Boalemo Regency government administration is classified as moderate, with success in strategic programs, but still requires increasing the capacity of human resources, budget efficiency, and strengthening integration across OPDs.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing logistics and distribution by enhancing efficiency, reducing costs, and improving the overall delivery experience. One of the key applications of AI in this sector is dynamic route optimization, where machine learning algorithms analyze real-time data such as traffic patterns, weather conditions, and road closures to continuously adjust delivery routes. This reduces fuel consumption, optimizes delivery times, and mitigates operational disruptions. In parallel, autonomous delivery systems, including drones and self-driving trucks, are transforming last-mile and long-haul transportation by minimizing human intervention and increasing speed and reliability. AI-powered autonomous delivery systems leverage advanced technologies such as computer vision, sensors, and machine learning to navigate and make real-time decisions. Drones, for example, are already being utilized for time-sensitive deliveries, especially in remote or underserved areas, while self-driving trucks promise to revolutionize long-haul freight transportation with the potential for 24/7 operation, cost reduction, and increased safety. Despite the clear benefits, challenges such as regulatory frameworks, safety concerns, and public acceptance remain as significant barriers to large-scale adoption. This review explores the role of AI in dynamic route optimization, drones, and self-driving trucks within logistics, providing insights into how these technologies are currently being implemented and the challenges that lie ahead. It further discusses the potential for AI to reshape the future of logistics and transportation by driving innovation in automation, reducing operational inefficiencies, and contributing to the development of smarter, more sustainable supply chains. The future of AI in logistics promises a more integrated, cost-effective, and agile system that can adapt to global challenges and evolving consumer demands.

Non-alcoholic beverages, Zobo drink important among the dietary pattern of people in the northern and southern part of Nigeria were analyzed. Four different locations where ready-to-drink zobo is sold within Abakaliki were randomly selected. Three samples of ready-to-drink zobo were collected each from the following locations: Presco market, international market, kpirikpiri market and Spera-in-deo. The total aerobic and coliform bacterial counts of Zobo drinks sold at different locations within Abakaliki ranges from 0.9 x 10 cfu/ml (the lowest) to 0.3 xl05 cfu/ml (the highest) count for the total coliform count and 0.8 x 108 (the lowest) to 5.8 x 108 (the highest) for the Aerobic bacteria Count. Staphyloccus spp was isolated from all the twelve samples (100 %), Escherichia coli was isolated from Eight samples (75 %), Pseudomonas species from Nine samples (83.33 %), Klebsiella pneumoniae (75.00 %) and Shigella sp with the least occurrence (33.33 %). All the bacteria isolates were susceptible to ciprofloxacin, gentamycin and chloramphenicol except Pseudomonas aeruginosa with the least sensitivity to chloramphenicol (43.8 %), Klebsiella pneumonia and Staphylococcus aureus were resistant to Ampicillin while Pseudomonas aeruginosa was resistant to erythromycin. None of the bacteria isolates was resistant to all the antibiotics; however, they exhibited high level of resistance against erythromycin, ampicillin and sulphamethazole with the least resistance percentage of 92.5 %, 57.5 % and 81.25 % respectively. It is important to monitor food items before releasing to the consumers to avoid food related illness.

This study compares the red cherry coffee harvesting method and the mixed-maturity coffee harvesting method in Suban Ayam Village, Rejang Lebong Regency, with an emphasis on farm income. The maturity of coffee cherries at harvest, particularly in the form of red cherry picking or various other stages of ripeness, results in coffee with different characteristics. The research aims to analyze the economic and cultural differences between these coffee harvesting methods. Primary data were collected through observations and direct interviews with farmers using questionnaires. Data analysis involved evaluating production costs, revenue and income, and R/C ratios, as well as comparing profits and expenses. The results show significant differences in production costs between red cherry coffee and mixed-maturity coffee, with red cherry coffee having lower production costs. The revenue from red cherry coffee was also higher per unit area per year, resulting in higher net income. Both methods have an R/C ratio greater than 1, indicating that both are feasible and profitable, but the R/C ratio for red cherry coffee (8.70) is higher, demonstrating its economic superiority. With the same land area and planting area, red cherry coffee has an R/C ratio of 7.6, indicating higher efficiency in generating greater income. These findings reflect the advantage for coffee farmers in Suban Ayam Village in using the red cherry coffee harvesting method. In conclusion, the red cherry harvesting method is more profitable in terms of income and economic efficiency compared to the mixed-maturity method. These results reflect the preference of coffee farmers in Suban Ayam Village for the red cherry method, which is more financially advantageous.

Authors: Ester Sánchez Antonio Tirso
Published: February 2025

En las últimas décadas, la inteligencia artificial ha revolucionado el campo del derecho permitiendo su uso para analizar jurisprudencia y predecir decisiones judiciales. Las Administraciones Públicas y las empresas legales emplean herramientas de inteligencia artificial para procesar datos jurídicos, redactar contratos y asesorar en la interpretación de textos legales. La lógica y la filosofía del derecho son fundamentales para formalizar el conocimiento en los sistemas inteligentes. El proceso de toma de decisiones jurídicas se está optimizando con herramientas de inteligencia artificial que buscan y analizan jurisprudencia, gestionan casos y realizan análisis predictivos. Sin embargo, es crucial abordar los desafíos éticos, asegurando la transparencia, la equidad y la responsabilidad en los sistemas automatizados. Las tecnologías emergentes prometen realizar análisis más complejos y adaptarse a nuevas situaciones legales, pero su implementación debe ser regulada para garantizar una justicia imparcial y accesible.
BEARD, Mary: Mujeres y poder. Un manifiesto. Barcelona, Planeta, 2018, 111 págs.
Authors: Alfaro Cremades Irene
Published: February 2025

La principal relevancia de la obra de Mary Beard estriba en su carácter analítico, en el prolijo repaso que efectúa a tenor de los consabidos discursos y acciones patriarcales que histórica y culturalmente han pretendido la relegación de las mujeres en cualesquiera que sean las parcelas sociales. Esta omisión de las mujeres contempla sus orígenes en tiempos pretéritos, algo que con gran sagacidad critica la autora: sus líneas son preceptivas y rigurosas, dan evidencia del peso androcéntrico y su potestad reglamentaria a discreción.

CRISAFULLI, Lilla Maria y GOLINELLI, Gilberta (eds.): Women’s Voices and Genealogies in Literary Studies in English. Newcastle upon Tyne, Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2019
Authors: Coral Gómez Laura Valentina
Published: February 2025

Este nuevo libro ejemplifica cómo los estudios de las mujeres y de género son y deben continuar siendo transversales e interdisciplinares. A través del análisis de las presencias y las ausencias de las mujeres en la historia de la literatura anglosajona, esta obra analiza los aportes de diferentes escritoras, ahondando en los contextos históricos y socioculturales en los que escribieron. Cada uno de los capítulos, proponiendo diversas genealogías de escritoras y variados casos de estudios, siempre a la luz de la crítica feminista, logra demostrar que la literatura femenina y feminista no es ahistórica ni atemporal, sino que se afinca en realidades materiales y tradiciones multifacéticas, a veces contrastantes, las cuales debemos recuperar, valorar y releer desde nuevas ópticas.
