Authors:   PhD Student, Uzbekistan State World Languages University, Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Radjabova Mukhtasar
Published: February 2025

This study investigated the practices of teaching Arabic writing skills in higher education, specifically focusing on the challenges and opportunities in instruction from A1 to B1 proficiency levels. In particular, the research aimed to examine the distinctive characteristics of Arabic writing instruction, evaluate environmental and spatial considerations across different proficiencylevels, and identify effective methodological frameworks and interactive pedagogical activities. Through a systematic literature review of scholarly works from 2009 to 2023, the study analyzed publications concerning Arabic writing pedagogy, learning environments, and instructional methodologies. Subsequently, the research utilized multiple academic databases, focusing on sources addressing Arabic script acquisition, environmental factors, and methodological frameworks. As a result, the findingswere classified into thematic categories including basic elements of Arabic writing instruction, environmental considerations for A1-A2 and A2-B1 levels, instructor responsibilities, and interactive pedagogical activities. Consequently, the results revealed that effective Arabic writing instruction requires specialized approaches due to the unique characteristics of Arabic script, including its cursive nature, contextual variations, and bidirectional aspects. Moreover, the study found that beginning learners (A1-A2) benefit from highly scaffolded environments with clear visual support, while intermediate learners (A2-B1) require spaces balancing structure with autonomous learning opportunities. Additionally, the research demonstrated that successful instruction requires teachers to balance mechanical aspects with communicative goals while maintaining attention to cultural awareness. In conclusion, the study determined that Arabic writing instruction in higher education demands a carefully structured approach incorporating both traditional pedagogical principles and modern innovations. Furthermore, future research directions were identified, including the need to explore advanced writing instruction beyond B1, investigate the long-term impact of environmental configurations, and develop standardized assessment tools that account for the unique characteristics of Arabic writing across proficiency levels.

Authors:   Engineering Oriden LLC Pittsburgh, USA, Lampuse Radhika Girish
Published: February 2025

The increasing demand for high-efficiency solar technologies has brought bifacial solar modules to the forefront of renewable energy research. This study evaluates the performance and financial viability of bifacial solar modules compared to conventional monofacial modules. By utilizing PVsyst software, simulations were conducted for an existing solar project under various configurations, including module type, inverter type, racking system, inverter load ratio, pitch, and module elevation, resulting in 200 iterations. The top 20 iterations for bifacial module type and the corresponding variants of monofacial module type, yielding the highest energy output, were selected for financial analysis based on Internal Rate of Return (IRR). Results indicate that bifacial modules outperform monofacial modules in both energy production and financial returns, making them a compelling choice for future solar installations. This paper provides insights into key performance parameters and offers a comparative framework for evaluating emerging solar technologies.

This study explored the impact of the FIFA World Cup 2022 on Qatar's tourism sector, focusing on tourist satisfaction. Using qualitative methods, data were collected from hotel reviews, interviews, and literature reviews. The World Cup significantly boosted short-term tourism, with a notable rise in arrivals as many visitors came specifically for the event and expressed a desire to return due to their positive experiences. Qatar, as the first Arab nation to host such a major sporting event, is expected to celebrate its successful hosting globally, especially within the GCC region. In the long term, Qatar aims to establish itself as a premier sports tourism destination, attracting attention from international sports organizations for future mega-events. The upcoming AFC Asian Cup in early 2024 highlights this ambition. While its tourism development lags behind faster-growing GCC nations like the UAE, Qatar's steady progress indicates potential for growth. Overall, the study concludes that the FIFA World Cup 2022 was a success, with high tourist satisfaction levels laying a strong foundation for Qatar's future tourism opportunities.

Published: February 2025

In this study, the author shows the limited application of the theory of human capital. She concludes that to move towards a new society and noonomy, one of the priority goals of social progress should be the comprehensive development of the Human and his potential. For this purpose, both in theory and in practice, it is necessary to abandon the market-centred model of social relations, as well as to form a human-centred model, which includes, first of all, decommmercialization and socialization of the socio-humanitarian sphere (education, health care, science, culture [in the broad sense]).

The Power of Circumstantial Evidence in the Trial Process The Crime of Murder
Authors: Dessy Adhya Purwandiny  , Rendy Erianto Jullyan  , Irwanda Imawan
Published: February 2025

This research explores the power of circumstantial evidence in proving murder offences, focusing on the case of Jessica Kumala Wongso. In this case, despite the absence of direct evidence, elements such as CCTV footage, the motive of the accused, as well as forensic evidence played an important role in building the case against the accused. Using a normative juridical method and a case study approach, this research analyses the role and relevance of circumstantial evidence in Indonesian criminal procedure law. The results show that, although circumstantial evidence has significant power, its assessment must be done carefully and logically by the judge to avoid mistakes that can be detrimental to justice for the defendant. The Jessica Wongso case emphasises the importance of a coherent and integrated pattern of evidence, in order for the court to ensure that its decisions are based on in-depth analysis and not mere assumption.
Turbulence and Magnetic Field Alignment in Small Molecular Clouds: The Role of Cloud Size, Mass, and Density
Authors: Barman Bhaskarjyoti , Das Himadri Sekhar , Byakti Pritibhajan
Published: February 2025

In this study, we investigate the relationship between turbulence (ΔV) and different physical parameters in 22 isolated small molecular clouds and their cores, extending the analysis to a hierarchical scenario from core to cloud. Using 12CO line width as a tracer of turbulence, we find that ΔV correlates with both cloud size and mass, following

and

. This indicates that gravitational energy drives turbulence in clouds, indicating possible virial equilibrium. We observe that L
cl correlates with M
cl and volume gas density of the cloud (ρ
cl), implying nearly constant Σcl across the clouds. In cloud cores, C18O line-width data show complex behavior, with no direct correlation between ΔV and core size (L
co). However, a positive correlation emerges when the surface density of the core is included in L
co. Notably, the relation between volume gas density (ρ
co) and core size (L
co) deviates from constant core surface density. Our analysis reveals that turbulent pressure increases with gravitational pressure to maintain global equilibrium. Finally, on the core-to-cloud scale, physical relationships remain continuous, reflecting the interconnected nature of clouds and cores. Extending our previous work, where we demonstrated a nonlinear dependence of turbulence on the alignment of the local magnetic field in molecular clouds with the Galactic plane, we now compare observations with a theoretical model based on kinetic theory. Our result confirms that higher turbulence causes greater magnetic misalignment consistent with the derived second-order polynomial relationship.
Chemical Evolution of Isotopically Labeled Carbon Dioxide (13CO2) Ice Exposed to Ionizing Radiation and Implications for Trans-Neptunian Objects
Authors: Zhang Chaojiang , Young Leslie A. , Kaiser Ralf I.
Published: February 2025

We present results on the radiation chemistry of isotopically labeled carbon dioxide (13CO2) ices induced by energetic electrons at 40 and 10 K to simulate the chemical evolution of carbon dioxide on trans-Neptunian objects exposed to galactic cosmic-ray particles. By collecting infrared spectra during the irradiation of 13CO2 ices, we have identified several radiolysis products, including carbon monoxide (13CO), ozone (O3), carbon trioxide (13CO3) with cyclic (C
2v
) and acyclic (D
3h
) isomers, carbon tetraoxide (13CO4), carbon pentaoxide (13CO5), and carbon hexaoxide (13CO6). The temporal profiles reveal that all products exhibit a rapid increase followed by a gradual decrease during prolonged irradiation, with the reduction at 40 K occurring faster than at 10 K. Furthermore, the ratio of 13CO to 13CO2 rises to constants of 0.20 at 40 K and 0.27 at 10 K as radiation accumulates within ices, which has potential implications for understanding the specific conditions of trans-Neptunian objects, such as galactic cosmic-ray exposure history, or other astrophysical scenarios characterized by abundant carbon dioxide.
Planetary Rhythms: Synchronous Circulation on Variably Irradiated Asynchronous Planets
Authors: Banik Deepayan
Published: February 2025

Tidal locking of planets to their host stars results in an atmospheric circulation with a hotspot fixed to the frame of reference of the planet. On the other hand, asynchronously rotating planets feature moving hotspots either lagging or leading the corresponding substellar point as it translates along the surface. We show that a planet falling in the latter category could mimic the circulation of tidally synchronous planets under the influence of time-varying instellation, possibly provided by pulsating or multiple star systems. This happens when the planet’s diurnal period is in resonance with the period of instellation variation, leading to a planet-frame-fixed hotspot. Slight differences in the above periods lead to east–west or west–east creeping hotspots with a period significantly longer than both. The rate of hotspot motion is given by the difference between the diurnal and instellation variation rates, similar to the lower envelope frequency of beat patterns formed by two superposed waves in linear wave theory. We call this phenomenon “beating.” A combination of the radiative, rotational, wave propagation, and drag timescales establishes dynamical constraints on beating. Based on this, we classify a set of Kepler and TESS circumbinary planets with two candidates exhibiting climatic departures from the no-variation scenario. In general, hotter and faster-spinning planets are more susceptible to climatic departures. Beating, if it occurs, may additionally create optimistic extensions of habitable zones for corresponding systems.

Published: February 2025

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are often referred to as the most luminous explosions in the Universe, due to their short and highly luminous prompt emission. This apparent luminosity, however, does not reflect the true energy budget of the prompt emission, which is strongly beamed. Accurate estimations of the energy radiated during the prompt phase require taking the geometry of GRB jets into account, which remains poorly known. Nevertheless, one may establish the distribution of well-measured quantities, like E
iso, the GRB isotropic equivalent energy, which encrypts crucial information about GRB jets, with the aim of providing constraints on the jet's radiated energy. In this work, we study the bright end of the GRB isotropic equivalent energy distribution (hereafter called “apparent energy”), using an updated sample of 185 apparently energetic GRBs with E
iso ≥ 1053 erg. This new sample includes GRB 221009A, allowing us to discuss this apparently superenergetic GRB in the context of the general E
iso distribution of long GRBs. We describe the construction of the sample and compare three fits of the E
iso distribution with a simple power law, a cutoff power law, and a broken power law. Our study confirms the existence of a cutoff around E
iso = 4 × 1054 erg, even when GRB 221009A is included in the sample. Based on this finding, we discuss the possible reasons behind the rapid decrease in the number of apparently energetic gamma-ray bursts beyond E
iso = 4 × 1054 erg and the interpretation of GRB 221009A, the most apparently energetic GRB detected to date, in this context.

Solar energetic particle (SEP) events have been observed for decades in the interplanetary medium by spacecraft measuring the intensity of energetic ions and electrons. These intensities provide valuable information about particle acceleration, the effects of bulk plasma dynamics on particle transport, and the anisotropy of particle distributions. Since measured intensities are typically reported in narrow energy bins, it is common to rebin intensities over a wider energy range to improve counting statistics. We investigate two methods for calculating intensities across multiple energy bins: (a) rebinned intensity (

j

¯

linlin

), which is calculated by integrating the intensity over energy space and corresponds to the intensity at an effective energy that depends on the time-varying spectral index, and (b) spectral binned intensity (

j

¯

loglog

), calculated by integrating the log intensity in log–energy space, yielding the intensity at the log-centered energy that is independent of the spectral index and remains constant over time. We compare these methods using Parker Solar Probe (PSP) IS⊙IS measurements of energetic protons, and we prescribe criteria for selecting the appropriate method for different scenarios. Our results show that the rebinned intensity is consistently larger (up to a factor of 5) than the spectral binned intensity for two SEP events observed by PSP, although the time series of the two methods are strongly correlated. Overall, both measures are important for SEP spectral analysis, and the selection of the appropriate measure depends on whether a physical (spectral binned intensity) or a statistical (rebinned intensity) representation is needed for a given analysis.

We present the first contemporaneous NICER and NuSTAR analysis of the low-mass X-ray binary Serpens X-1 obtained in 2023 June, performing broadband X-ray spectral analysis modeling of the reprocessed emission with relxillNS from 0.4 to 30 keV. We test various continuum and background estimation models to ensure that our results do not hinge on the choice of model used, and found that the detection of reflection features is independent of the choice of both continuum and background model. The position of the inner accretion disk is consistent with the last stable circular orbit (R
in ≤ 1.2 R
ISCO) and a low inclination of i ≤ 8.3°. Additionally, we investigate the presence of the low-energy (∼1 keV) Fe L complex in the data from NICER and the Reflection Grating Spectrometer on XMM-Newton that was previously reported in the literature. We find that the line is at most a 2% feature relative to the reprocessed continuum, and are unable to claim a definitive detection for the current data set. However, we discuss plausible conditions and systems that would increase the likelihood of detecting this feature in the future.
Fourier and Wavelet Analysis of Coronal Mass Ejections during Solar Cycles 23–25: Angular Widths and Latitudinal Distribution

Published: February 2025

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs), the large-scale eruptions of plasma and magnetic fields from the solar corona, play a critical role in space weather and solar–terrestrial interactions. Understanding the periodicities of CMEs is essential for predicting their occurrences and impacts, but their quasiperiodic variations in different cycles, at different latitudes, and for different angular widths, are still unclear. In the present work, we classify CMEs based on their angular widths and latitudinal distribution, using data from the version 2.0 of the Coordinated Data Analysis Workshop catalog (1996 January–2024 March). Employing Fourier and wavelet transforms, we systematically analyze the quasiperiodic variations in the occurrence rates of CMEs. The main results show the following: (1) A lesser number of periodicities is found in high-latitude CMEs while the low-latitude CMEs show a greater number of periodicities; (2) for the periodic variations, significant differences exist between different types of CMEs across latitudes. Narrow and normal CMEs exhibit similar periodicities, whereas halo CMEs show a different periodic pattern. (3) Additional periodicities were identified for all CMEs, which occur exclusively at low latitudes or during specific cycles, potentially as a result of the noticeable heliospheric dynamic pressure after the maximum time of cycle 23. (4) The identified dominant periodicities may be associated with magneto-Rossby waves at the tachocline. This mechanism can effectively explain the periodic behavior of the observed CMEs. Our analysis results might be useful for better understanding the long-term variations of CMEs during different cycles and at different latitudes, and could also have implications for the geoeffectiveness predictions of CMEs.

Background and Objectives: Routine use of antibiotics for infectious diarrhea in children is associated with the risk of increasing antibiotic resistance in developing countries. This work aimed to study the predominant extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) genes among bacteria pathogens implicated in acute childhood gastroenteritis in a tertiary hospital in Nigeria.
Materials and Methods: The stool samples of children diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis were collected. Isolation and identification of bacterial pathogens from the stool samples using standard microbiological and molecular sequencing methods. Pure cultures of the probable bacteria pathogens were subjected to antibiotics susceptibility profiling using the Kirby-Bauer Disk Diffusion Method and also screened for ESBL and AmpC using the Modified Double Disc Synergy Test. Primers for 5 different ESBL genes associated with beta-lactam antibiotic resistance were amplified and sequenced. Results: Out of the 62 isolates, the highest number of organisms identified within the isolates were Bacillus sp at 38.7% (24) followed by Alcaligenes sp at 37% (23). Resistance to cefepime and ceftazidime were recorded at 50.8% (30) each. Ceftriaxone and cefotaxime were resisted in 47.4% (28) of the isolates. Out of 34 isolates resistant to all the cephalosporins used, 41.2% (14) were ESBL-producing, of which blaCTXM-1 and blaCTXM-2 were detected in 85.7%, while blaTEM was seen in 64.3%.
Conclusions: blaCTXM and blaTEM may be the predominant ESBL genes haboured in the bacteria pathogens implicated in the yearly incidence of acute childhood gastroenteritis in Nigeria. This may be due to the widespread use of antibiotics in treating this disease.

Published: February 2025

Mitigating the biodiversity crisis will require an understanding of how species cope with various human disturbances of habitats ranging from fully natural environments to areas with higher anthropization levels. In this study, we investigated how the local demographics of Clonistria guadeloupensis (Redtenbacher) relate to human disturbances such as agricultural fields, roads, and urbanization in Guadeloupe. We sampled the species in diverse environmental situations in the wild, both on and around focal food plants, and recorded the habitat characteristics. We subsequently analyzed the demography of the juvenile, subadult, and adult stages. We found minimal impact of anthropization factors, with a tendency of the species to be associated with habitats with greater anthropization levels, possibly because such habitats are generally more open. We also found variation in local aggregation levels of the developmental stages, which may reflect bias in dispersal during the adult stage in which males are highly motile. Overall, the species shows ecological preferences appropriate for coexistence within areas of human disturbance.

A new species of Nasa ser. Alatae (Urban & Gilg) Weigend from Northern Peru is described and illustrated. Nasa katjaesp. nov. was at first encountered by an observation on iNaturalist and subsequently collected in the humid Andean forests near Colasay in the province of Jaén (Cajamarca, Peru). Whilst comparing the new species with closely related Nasa loxensis (Kunth) Weigend, a taxon widespread in Southern Ecuador (and tentatively adjacent Peru), a reevaluation of the status of earlier synonymized Loasa calycina Benth. became necessary. Consequently, Nasa calycinacomb. nov. is rehabilitated at species level and Nasa loxensis is redefined.

Published: February 2025

Purpose: This study aims to reveal how strong the influence of human resource development and resource/infrastructure management on innovation process during the merger of public research institutions by shaping researchers’ skills. The proposed research model is intended to reveal how distinctive competency possessed by human resource and resource/infrastructure management encourages the innovation process during the merger.Design/methodology/approach: Using partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and involving 204 respondents, it is revealed that human resource development influences researchers’ adaptive and absorptive skills slightly stronger than resource/infrastructure management to encourage the innovation process during the merger of public research institutions.Findings: It is revealed that knowledge vacuum, which was unintentionally generated through chaotic condition during the merger, brought a positively significant influence on innovators’ distinctive competency through both adaptive and absorptive skills. This also implies that chaotic events within a dynamic research environment might stimulate open innovation process. In this regard, human resource management is expected to organize more training and coaching practices to minimize knowledge vacuum and enhance innovators’ distinctive competency.Research limitations/implications: This study was conducted by selecting a merged public research institution in Indonesia as the model case, meaning that the approach is probably not suitable to be applied to the condition in other countries due to different governmental rules and organizational process. Thus, cross-countries examination utilizing merged researches on organizational cases will be a suitable approach and valuable compass for future studies.Practical implications: Firstly, from the insight of human resource development, it is important to give equal opportunity in terms of skill and knowledge development to each innovators. Moreover, giving proper incentives can boost innovation desire that eventually boost innovation process. Secondly, human resource development and resource/infrastructure managements have a balance effect to support adaptive and absorptive skills. Managers should pay attention to properly manage the innovation resources and infrastructures so that innovators can utilize them right away without having to wait in line for too long.Originality/value: This study was conducted by selecting a merged public research institution as the model case and focused on researchers’ innovation process. Merging public research institutions domestically was considered a first-time worldwide phenomenon. Previously, innovation process was only discussed in the context of commercial sectors and higher education institutions.
L’Assassinat du duc de Guise. Nouveau scénario (Henri Lavedan)
Authors: Carou Alain
Published: February 2025

La récente acquisition par la BnF d’un dactylogramme annoté inédit d’Henri Lavedan révèle une nouvelle variante du scénario de l’Assassinat du duc de Guise qu’il écrivit pour le Film d’Art et qui fut tourné en 1908 par Charles Le Bargy et André Calmettes. Les différents changements, ajouts ou transformations témoignent de la volonté de l’écrivain de jouer avec les attentes du spectateur en mêlant les émotions, démarche dont on trouve maints exemples dans l’écriture pour la scène autour de 1900 et qui est développée ici avec une richesse et une subtilité totalement inhabituelles alors dans les films cinématographiques. Par ses retouches successives, ce document suggère le plaisir qu’Henri Lavedan a eu à travailler le premier tableau, celui où il était libre de laisser cours à son imagination théâtrale, alors qu’il s’est obligé dans les tableaux suivants à suivre de très près sa documentation historique.

Published: February 2025

The purpose of the investigation was to determine the optimal dose of mixed ligand complexes of zinc, manganese, and cobalt in the ration of dry stable cows in the first and second dry periods. To cover the deficiency of Zinc, Manganese and Cobalt, different levels of mixed ligand complexes of Zinc, Manganese and Cobalt were introduced into the premix. During the dry period, the feeding of cows undergoes changes. During the early dry stable period in cows, feed mixtures with the lowest content of biologically active substances should be used for their feeding, namely, in 1 kg of DM, mg: Zinc and Manganese - 31.5; Cobalt - 0.41 due to mixed ligand complexes. Instead, during the late dry period, they need a higher concentration of these trace elements due to mixed ligand complexes in dry matter: Zinc and Manganese - 35 mg; Cobalt - 0.49 mg.  A mandatory condition is to ensure the indicated level of trace elements due to their mixed-ligand complexes. With such feeding, a decrease in the need for labor assistance, the length of the service period and the number of inseminations per successful fertilization, an increase in the productivity.

Published: February 2025

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of tactile stimulation on the welfare of goat kids. Thirty-six goat kids were allocated into three treatments as follows: TSG = taking the goat kids out of the cage every day when they received tactile stimulation, RCG = taking the goat kids out of the cage for 5 s, and NRS = not taking the goat kids out of the cage nor receiving tactile stimulation. TSG goat kids received tactile stimulation once a day, for two minutes, from the 3rd to the 40th day. Goat kids' welfare was assessed by considering performance, health, and behavioral indicators. During the voluntary approach test, 96.5% of the goat kids voluntarily approached familiar and unfamiliar humans. There were significant effects only on the interaction between treatment and age on time spent in the corners and time playing (KW = 27.54 and 47.83, p < 0.01, respectively). We conclude that tactile stimulation did not affect any of the welfare indicators addressed in this study.

Four levels of β-mannanase (0, 80, 160, and 240 g ton-1) and the presence or absence of deactivated soy were tested, with eight repetitions, each with 18 birds per experimental unit. On the 1st, 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th, 35th, and 42nd days of life, the birds were weighed, and the feed leftovers were measured to obtain performance variables. From days 1 to 21, weight gain, feed conversion, and average weight were significantly affected by the addition of β-mannanase to the diet. The use of deactivated soy in combination with enzyme levels in mg kg-1 of metabolizable energy resulted in greater gains than did the use of soybean meal combined with the same levels of metabolizable energy. The use of deactivated soy along with 240 mg of β-mannanase enzyme supplementation in broiler diets from 1--42 days of age is recommended, as this supplementation improves bird performance.
Mito-logia: Moritz e a lógica da fantasia
Authors: Franceschini Pedro
Published: February 2025

Trata-se de apresentar o pensamento de Karl Philipp Moritz sobre a mitologia, tal como expresso em sua Doutrina dos deuses [Götterlehre], de 1791. Relativamente desconhecido na posteridade, o autor foi contudo apontado como importante referência do pensamento estético do período, por autores como Goethe, Schiller e Schelling. Gostaríamos de analisar o novo ponto de vista exigido por Moritz para tratar das criações mitológicas, entendidas como uma linguagem da fantasia, apartando-se das usuais interpretações alegóricas e históricas. Essa abordagem, que ressalta o sentido autônomo da mitologia, ampara-se, como defendemos, no pensamento estético desenvolvido por ele nos anos anteriores. Aqui, a reivindicação por um conceito de obra de arte perfeita e acabada em si e a noção de uma criação artística cuja força formativa se coloca até mesmo em anterioridade à representação subjetiva constituem os polos complementares de um pensamento radical sobre a autonomia da arte, o qual, não por acaso, parece encontrar sua melhor realização justamente na concepção moritziana de mitologia. Por fim, essa intricada relação entre estética e mitologia revela um novo pensar ou, se quisermos, uma nova lógica, crítica às determinações da metafísica tradicional e mais próxima ao pensamento simbólico.
O valor programático de “Sobre a dignidade do homem” de Fichte
Authors: Carvalho Filho Marcos Cesar Paes de
Published: February 2025

O presente artigo defende uma utilidade indexical ao panfleto Sobre a dignidade do homem (1794), de Johann Gottlieb Fichte. Escrito como uma lembrança aos participantes das preleções de Zurique sobre a doutrina-da-ciência, esse texto costuma ser apresentado como dotado de baixo valor filosófico, uma vez que suas poucas páginas apresentam um teor altamente imagético e retórico que pouco combina com o tom seguido em outras exposições do autor. A fim de defender uma utilidade introdutória ao texto, nosso artigo será dividido em dois momentos. No primeiro, faremos uma sucinta exposição de conteúdo, onde identificaremos três temas centrais de seus escritos de maior envergadura durante o período de Jena, sendo eles: 1. O escopo do âmbito teórico da filosofia 2. A primazia da esfera prática frente à teórica na filosofia. 3. A admissão do campo social como condição de possibilidade da filosofia prática. No segundo momento, buscaremos expor a partir de seu Sobre o conceito da doutrina-da-ciência (1794) e de suas Preleções sobre o destino do erudito (1794), o alinhamento com esses três elementos de seu sistema. Caso bem sucedida, nossa investigação terá como produto principal a defesa da legitimidade panorâmica desse texto no corpo de obras de Fichte e, secundariamente, indicará já em 1794 uma já amadurecida posição do autor em relação ao problema da fundamentação filosófica da esfera social, característico de sua produção posterior.
O Reencontro de Goethe no Divã com Hegel: a poesia do bom humor
Authors: Ferreira Guilherme
Published: February 2025

O objetivo do presente texto é observar como Hegel identifica no conceito de ‘humor objetivo’ o traço poético fundamental a ser considerado na ‘formação sensível-espiritual’ de uma cultura cindida e supostamente confundida pelos relativismos e psicologismos de toda sorte: a modernidade. Para tanto, o texto se divide em três partes. Na primeira parte, observaremos brevemente a posição, a finalidade e o significado da arte em geral como exercício autoconsciente e figura mais elevada de expressão da ‘liberdade sensível’ do espírito moderno. Na segunda, observaremos o significado hegeliano de ‘humor objetivo’, a fim de identificar as vantagens do gênero poético em relação à possibilidade de distinção entre os conteúdos supostamente verdadeiros e falsos do espírito na arte. Finalmente, na terceira parte, examinaremos a interpretação de Hegel sobre o poema Reencontro de Goethe, a fim de ilustrarmos a relevância da dialética especulativa para a compreensão da arte e, inversamente, a relevância da arte para a compreensão da dialética.

Authors: Frechtel Ignacio
Published: February 2025

Este trabajo de investigación se propone realizar un aporte historiográfico sobre el campo de estudios sobre la Escuela Nueva. Si bien el análisis se basa en la bibliografía sobre el caso argentino, se considera que puede ser de utilidad para pensar los procesos de renovación pedagógica y su abordaje por la historiografía en otros países. Para cumplir con este objetivo, se llevó adelante un exhaustivo trabajo de investigación bibliográfica que permitió identificar los principales aportes sobre el tema de la Escuela Nueva en el campo de la Historia de la Educación en la Argentina. Como conclusión, se puede observar cómo, de la mano de la renovación historiográfica de las últimas décadas, desde perspectivas de una renovada historia cultural e intelectual, surgen nuevas posibilidades de indagación, en este caso, sobre los procesos de renovación pedagógica conocidos como Escuela Nueva
O ensino de língua inglesa nos livros didáticos da década de 1970
Authors: Bocca Sofia , Corrêa Rosa Lydia Teixeira
Published: February 2025

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar o ensino da disciplina de língua inglesa, por meio de livros didáticos da década de 1970, utilizados no Colégio Estadual do Paraná, quanto aos saberes veiculados e suas finalidades. Trata-se de um período de relevância política e ideológica em nosso país, em que foi promulgada a Lei nº 5.692/71, e marcado por estreitas articulações internacionais do Brasil com os Estados Unidos da América. A análise com viés da História Cultural, fundamentada em Chartier (1998, 2002) e Choppin (2002, 2004) para embasar a questão dos livros didáticos, mostrou que os livros adotados seguiam o sistema de instrução programada e o método audiovisual, tratando-se da instauração do ensino tecnocrático.
Educação popular e resistência na ditadura militar no Brasil
Authors: Paulo Fernanda dos Santos
Published: February 2025

Este artigo investiga a persistência da Educação Popular (EP) no Brasil durante o regime militar, evidenciando como educadores e movimentos sociais mantiveram práticas educativas mesmo sob repressão. O objetivo é compreender como essas práticas se mantiveram ativas e se transformaram em ferramentas de resistência política e social, perpetuando as ideias de Paulo Freire e outros educadores. A pesquisa, baseada especialmente em análise bibliográfica e documental, explora a atuação clandestina na EP. Além disso, os resultados destacam a importância da solidariedade internacional e a emergência de uma nova categoria: ‘Educação Popular como Rede de Resistência e Transformação Social’, que evidencia a interconexão entre sujeitos e instituições como uma rede de resistência e transformação social.
The future of general practitioner care in Lower Saxony, Germany: an analysis of actual vs target states using a GIS-based floating catchment area method
Authors: Schoo Jonas , Schüssler Frank
Published: February 2025

Ensuring universal and equitable accessibility to healthcare services is crucial for fostering equal living conditions aligned with global and national objectives. This study examines disparities in accessing General Practitioner (GP) care within Lower Saxony and Bremen, Germany, using the two-step floating catchment area method for spatial analysis at street section level, incorporating various transportation modes. Findings are compared with needs-related planning guidelines to uncover spatial disparities and deviations between prescribed guidelines (target state) and empirical findings (actual state). The analysis reveals significant discrepancies, with over 50% of the population inadequately supplied due to accessibility or capacity issues, particularly in rural and some urban areas, challenging assumptions of sufficient urban healthcare provision. This is the first detailed analysis of primary care provision at this granular level in Lower Saxony, exposing substantial gaps between current GP care and planning targets. Fine-grained spatial analysis proves essential for revealing healthcare accessibility inequities and offers a roadmap for targeted policy interventions. Despite limitations, such as not fully capturing real-world dynamics or patient preferences, the study provides valuable insights into enhancing geographically equitable GP care. It contributes to the discourse on achieving equal living conditions through equitable healthcare accessibility, advocating a more refined, localised approach to healthcare planning, emphasizing the importance of detailed spatial analysis for informed decision-making and promoting health equity.
Environmental and occupational exposures and the risk of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: A systematic review

Published: February 2025

Purpose. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is defined as a specific form of chronic, progressive, fibrosing interstitial pneumonia. The recognition of the risk factors for IPF is mandatory for disease prevention. The aim of the present systematic review is to evaluate the association between occupational and environmental exposures and the risk of IPF. Methods. Original observational studies published before July 3rd (2020) were identified through electronic searches of the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane and Web of Science databases. To meet the inclusion criteria, studies had to describe the exposure assessment, and the diagnosis had to be based on clinical history, computed tomography (CT) and/or histology. Results. Eight studies met the inclusion criteria for the systematic review, including a total of 2084 patients. A quantitative meta-analysis could not be performed due to the heterogeneity of the studies. Smoking was associated with an increased risk of IPF, but there was no clear dose-response relationship for smoking years and pack-years consumption. Exposure to birds and occupational exposure to metal and organic dust at work were also associated with the risk of IPF. Conclusions. This systematic review revealed an association between smoking, exposures to birds and cat allergens and occupational exposures to metal, wood and organic dusts and the risk of IPF, although the findings were controversial among the studies. Further investigations should integrate genetic susceptibility analysis, dose-response relationships, and direct measures of exposure, performing adjustments for possible confounders.
