I contributi delle neuroscienze cognitive alla ridefinizione delle basi neurali del linguaggio
Authors: Marini Andrea
Published: September 2023

Questo articolo mira a descrivere i contributi delle neuroscienze cognitive alla comprensione delle basi neurali e cognitive della produzione del linguaggio. In particolare, è idealmente suddiviso in due parti. Nella prima, dopo aver accennato brevemente ad alcune delle più antiche osservazioni sulla possibile relazione tra lesioni cerebrali e disturbi del linguaggio, vengono introdotte le caratteristiche generali dei modelli localizzazionisti della seconda metà del XIX (Testut 1897) e del XX secolo (Geschwind 1965a, b). Nella seconda parte dell’articolo ci si concentrerà sugli sviluppi emersi nell’ambito del recente approccio associazionista. Tale approccio sostiene che le funzioni della mente sarebbero semplicemente troppo complesse per essere elaborate da una manciata di aree isolate del cervello e, al contempo, troppo specifiche per essere organizzate nel cervello nella sua interezza (Marini 2018). In effetti, una quantità crescente di esperimenti con tecniche di neuroimaging e neuromodulazione (ad es., Marini & Urgesi 2012; Piervincenzi et al. 2013) ha dimostrato che le diverse funzioni della mente (incluso il linguaggio) sono implementate in ampie reti neurali con epicentri localizzabili in aree corticali, sottocorticali e cerebellari. Nello specifico, verrà fornito un esempio di rete neurale responsabile della produzione del discorso narrativo (Levelt et al. 1999; Indefrey 2012). Infine, l’attenzione si focalizzerà sull’utilità della comprensione dei correlati neurali del linguaggio per la riabilitazione (ad es., Marangolo et al. 2013).
Primary Language Impairment and Developmental Dyslexia
Authors: Marra Francesca
Published: September 2023

Primary Language Impairment (PLI) and Developmental Dyslexia (DD) are developmental disorders which primarily affect language (and language-related abilities) from childhood onwards. Recent studies on DD have evidenced morphosyntactic weaknesses, in conjunction with a core phonological impairment. Therefore, compelling parallelism between children with DD and PLI is inferred. In the present paper, we will address the trivial issue of the relationship between the two disorders by discussing Italian data from a two-case study. In order to do so, we collected, transcribed and analyzed samples of spontaneous and elicited speech of two Italian speaking children. In addition, we proved their linguistic abilities by conducting standardized tests in order to evaluate the disruption of any linguistic level, with particular reference to phonology and morphosyntax. We intend to support the Comorbidity Model, which holds the view that PLI and DD are distinct but potentially comorbid developmental disorders.
Il caso clinico di Martha N.: Sabine Spielrein e un primo esempio di analisi del linguaggio schizofrenico.
Authors: Bianchi Angela
Published: September 2023

The present work aims to provide an analysis of the method used by Sabina Spielrein as a pioneering attempt at research on pathological language, in a historical moment in which the treatment of the disease was faced in an experimental way both in the methods and in the results. The psychological content of a case of schizophrenia (dementia praecox) is the first psychoanalytic dissertation written by a woman, one of the first interpretative accounts of schizophrenia and one of the first works in which the term schizophrenia is used. The subject of the thesis is the clinical case of Martha N., a woman suffering from schizophrenia of which Spielrein took care of observing the underlying language and apparently senseless of schizophrenic pathology by applying the “phylogenetic observation method”, with which he grasped the present parallelism between the mental activity typical of schizophrenics, the psychological process of dreams and the mythological thought to which the “mythological language” is associated. Spielrein reports in her work excerpts from the speeches of the sessions held with her patient: this is a valuable document that testifies to one of the first attempts to investigate pathological language.
Avaliação da Implementação do Programa de Português em Escolas Secundárias de Sintra
Authors: Coelho Maria da Conceição , Sola Martinez Tomás
Published: September 2023

A revisão curricular do Ensino Secundário teve a sua génese no processo de Revisão Participada do Currículo - Encontros no Secundário, iniciado em 1997. Ao longo de vários anos e no âmbito de diversas iniciativas, foram implementadas transformações político-administrativas e conceptuais ao nível do currículo, consubstanciadas em novos programas de ensino. Partindo da percepção de que as mudanças no discurso oficial não determinam transformações nas concepções e práticas dos professores, pretendemos concluir do envolvimento dos professores na reconfiguração curricular da área do Português, verificando o grau e modo de apropriação dos desígnios curriculares prescritos a nível do programa de ensino e os paradigmas de ensino-aprendizagem subjacentes às suas opções. O estudo de natureza descritiva-interpretativa, efectuado em escolas do concelho de Sintra, utilizou metodologias e instrumentos quantitativos e qualitativos para garantir a fiabilidade dos resultados. O confronto entre a dimensão prescritiva do currículo e a dimensão descritiva da prática pedagógica permitiu concluir que o currículo se constitui como uma realidade dinâmica que sofre diversos processos de deliberação no contexto da sua implementação.

Authors: Tumino Marisa Cecilia , Poitevin Evelyn Ruth
Published: September 2023

Se plantea la evaluación de la calidad de los servicios universitarios de una universidad privada de Argentina desde la percepción de estudiantes y docentes. Para ello se adecuó la escala de Capelleras y Veciana (2004), basados en el modelo SERVQUAL, y se incorporaron ítems que atienden a otros aspectos del servicio universitario tales como los que proponen Rubio Gómez, Aguilar Feijoo, Massa Sánchez, Maldonado y Ramírez Asanza (2005), referentes a la adecuación de los programas, a la evaluación del aprendizaje y a la efectividad de los procesos administrativos. La escala de 42 variables relativas a las percepciones de la calidad de los servicios, y a las condiciones de la institución para ofrecerlos, se aplicó a una muestra de 454 estudiantes y 64 docentes. Los resultados mostraron consistencia interna y el Análisis de Factores identificó ocho dimensiones que permiten proponer mejoras en atención a lo que exhiben los resultados obtenidos.
Apego, autoestima y habilidades de autoexpresión social: un modelo de encadenamiento causal en jóvenes y adolescentes
Authors: Homola Sofía Yenien , Oros Laura Beatriz
Published: September 2023

Objetivos. Analizar la relación entre el apego y la autoestima en jóvenes y adolescentes y examinar la relación entre la autoestima y la autoexpresión social, con el fin de integrar los resultados en un modelo de encadenamiento causal. Método. Participaron 387 adolescentes y jóvenes quienes completaron autoinformes. Se realizaron análisis de regresión y modelado de ecuaciones estructurales. Resultados. Tanto el apego seguro como el inseguro predijeron significativamente la autoestima de los participantes. La autoestima resultó ser un predictor significativo de la autoexpresión social. Se concluye que el apego seguro aumenta la posibilidad de desarrollar una autoestima fortalecida y esta, a su vez, promueve la capacidad del individuo para expresarse socialmente. Contrariamente, el apego inseguro debilita la autoestima, lo que conduce a un detrimento de la autoexpresión social.

SUBSTANTIATION OF THE UNIVERSAL ADAPTIVE TECHNOLOGICAL SYSTEM OF COMPLEX LABORATORIES FOR QUALITY AND SAFETY ASSESSING OF GRAIN AND OIL CROPS
Authors: Zhukov В. , Makarynska А. , Strahova Т.
Published: September 2023

The materials of the article provide data on the export of domestic grain, oil crops and their processing products, the commodity structure of the export of domestic agricultural products and a dozen export countries during the operation of the grain corridor from March 2022 to August 2023. The main requirements for modern laboratories and their functions are listed. The components of a comprehensive analytical approach to assessing the quality and safety of grains and oilseeds according to modern international requirements are presented. It has been established that, in addition to the technical and economic component, the activities of complex laboratories are affected by a large number of technological limitations, among which an important place is occupied by the problems of quality control of test results. Today, the functioning of native laboratories that assess the quality and safety of grains and oilseeds has some of shortcomings that may affect the effectiveness of testing activities. In particular, there is a lack of a unified approach to addressing systemic requirements, a large number of regulators, conflicting requirements, and limited international harmonization. The requirements of industry regulations and contract specifications pose challenges for laboratories. All of this emphasizes need to develop a universal adaptive technological system for quality control of integrated laboratories for assessing the quality and safety of grains and oilseeds. The main components of quality management of laboratories for quality assessment of grains and oilseeds are considered and analyzed. It was found that only 11% of accredited domestic laboratories can comprehensively meet the current demand for conformity assessment services for agricultural raw materials. Based on the analysis, a roadmap of quality management components of laboratories for quality assessment of grains and oilseeds was developed. The development of such guidelines will help to meet diverse requirements and systematically demonstrate competence in line with current needs. Processes such as analytical method validation, measurement uncertainty assessment, metrological traceability, and accreditation support require significant financial investments. The creation and implementation of a universal adaptive technological system will help to rationalize the use of resources, thanks to logistical advantages, efficiency, reliability of results, and vertical management system.

Impact of Board of Directors on Funds Raising: Evidence for Green Bonds
Authors: Potapova Elizaveta
Published: September 2023

The present paper attempts to reveal influence of characteristic features of the board of directors (BD) on fund raising using green bonds. The research involved a sample of 87 public companies which issued green bonds in 2021. We analyzed influence of such factors as the proportion of women and independent directors on the BD, CEO duality and the numberof the BD members by the share of green bonds in the total debt of the company. The share of debt in the assets, the natural logarithm of total assets (company size) and return on equity (ROE) were used as control variables.

The logarithmic specification of the classical linear regression model was chosen as the optimal one. So, heteroscedasticity, autocorrelation and multicollinearity were not detected in the model with the dependent variable logarithm (the share of green bonds in the total debt). The least squares method (LSM) was applied to evaluate this model. As long as the initial sample of companies which issued green bonds in 2021 comprises both financial and non-financial companies we verified the validity of the obtained results for two types of companies. Assessment of the optimal model for two subsamples of financial and non-financial companies yielded results somewhat different from the ones obtained from analysis of the total sample. Evaluation of the regression for financial and non-financial companies showed a reduction in significance of influence exerted by women’s representation and the size of the BD. However, in case of non-financial companies the significance of such factor as presence of the sustainable development committee increases. According to the obtained results the companies with the CSR committee attract relatively larger financing using green bonds.

Authors: BURAM ÇOLAK Burcu , AYÇAM İdil
Published: September 2023

Aim: The aim of the research is to obtain numerical data by examining the types of adaptation, adaptation components, and adaptation pattern knowledge based on widely known building examples worldwide that have been frequently studied in the literature in relation to buildings designed with adaptive building envelopes. Through the obtained numerical data, the aim is to analyze which parameters are preferred more while designing an adaptive module. Method: Adaptation type, component, pattern and method parameters were examined by tracing method on the examined building samples. The obtained numerical data were statistically evaluated with the regression analysis method, and the percentages were found and compared. Results: As the adaptation type of the modules of the structures examined in the study, 70% were found to be mobile while 30% were fixed. The usage rates of the adaptation components of the modules of the projects were found on the facade, the shell, the facade + the shell and the structure + the shell. It has been observed that the most common geometric and traditional patterns are used among the adaptation patterns. Conclusion: When adaptation methods were examined, it was determined that the most common features in the examples were being sensitive to solar movement, having light level control, being able to control shading and indoor spaces, contributing to passive systems, and being adaptable to climate. The preference for these criteria varies according to the conditions. This study aims to shed light on parameter selection for future adaptive designs and studies.
Quantitative Immunoblotting Analysis of LRRK2 Signalling Pathway v2
Authors: Tonelli Francesca
Published: September 2023

Accurate, quantitative analysis of protein expression and modifications (such as phosphorylation) is critical when studying cell signalling. Here we describe our method for efficient immunoblotting analysis of the LRRK2 signalling pathway components in cell and mouse tissue extracts. Specifically, we immunoblot using rigorously validated and characterized antibodies for LRRK2-total and LRRK2-pSer935 (multiplexed), Rab10-total and Rab10-pThr73 (multiplexed), Rab12-total and Rab12-pSer105 (multiplexed) and GAPDH or tubulin (loading control), although the protocol described here can also be applied to different cell components. Included are procedures for sample preparation from cultured cells and mouse tissue, gel electrophoresis, protein transfer, and antibody incubation. Note: If analysing cells isolated from human blood (neutrophils, monocytes or PBMCs), please refer to the specific protocols deposited in Protocols.io on how to isolate these cells. These lysates can then be analysed by immunoblotting as described here ( See Section "Preparation of samples for immunoblot analysis" to Section "Image acquisition and Analysis"). In this new version, the last step contains a supplemental video with extra context and tips, as part of the ASAP Protocol Particulars, featuring conversations with protocol authors

Urban Land Use and Land Cover Mapping
Authors: Azevedo Thiago , Fonseca Matias Lindon
Published: September 2023

The Brazilian urbanization process produced a complex urban space, with a variety of urban land use and cover as a result. The study of these forms through a classification system is essential, but most current systems don’t capture this complexity, condensing it. Urban forms are difficult to distinguish and classify, resulting in the need for a system with a high degree of detail, for a more accurate urban planning. The objective of this work is to propose a classification system for urban land use and cover, which can demonstrate the multiplicities through remote sensing, using data from CBERS 04A satellite. The methodology surveys the visual elements of remote sensing images, through visual interpretation, relating them to each proposed use and cover class. With this, a classification system was developed that covers the urban space in 17 classes, being an effective way to raise information about the different urban forms.
¿Reforma o Ruptura de la Masculinidad Hegemónica?: un Análisis Crítico de los Elementos Centrales de Transformación de las Masculinidades.
Authors: Navarro Lashayas Miguel Angel , Gandarias Goikoetxea Itziar , Troya Ruiz Natalia
Published: September 2023

La lucha de los movimientos feministas en las últimas décadas por desvelar el poder inmiscuido en las relaciones de género sitúa a los hombres como sujetos de prácticas socioculturales en las que opera constantemente el poder. En ese sentido, la comprensión de las masculinidades como social y culturalmente construidas y como múltiples y plurales ubica a los hombres como agentes claves para el cambio. Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la deconstrucción de la Masculinidad Hegemónica en hombres que han iniciado un proceso de revisión de su masculinidad. Para ello, se han realizado cinco entrevistas en profundidad. El análisis de contenido de las mismas diferencia entre aquellos cambios que son aceptados cómodamente por el actual sistema neoliberal como la incursión de los hombres al mundo emocional con fines productivos; y aquellos elementos asociados culturalmente a la feminidad más rupturistas con los sistemas de dominación, entre los que destacan la vulnerabilidad, en contraposición a la fortaleza como cualidad masculina, y la revalorización social no productiva de los cuidados.

“My blood boiled”: Emotional metaphors and masculinity in Mexican men
Authors: Ramírez Juan Carlos
Published: September 2023

The principal aim of this communication is to describe and analyze metaphor as a narrative resource of emotional vocabulary used by men. Beside the relationship with mandates of masculinity. A qualitative ethnographic approach was used with in-depth interviews on family life and work experiences of men between age from 20 to 49 years, living with a heterosexual couple, with at least one child, being unemployed or having a recent unemployment period of time and residents of the metropolitan area of ​​Guadalajara, Mexico. Men enunciated metaphors more frequently than emotional labels. The metaphor sense of pleasure or displeasure are described, their relation with family and/or work experiences, but also linkage with some mandates of masculinity. A series of reflections on methodological and empirical aspects and questions are presented to continue the research on emotions and masculinities as a promising field of studies on the gender of men.

Published: September 2023

Background: The clinical laboratory’s goal is to provide the right service at the right time with the best quality. It was observed that a scattered and complex workflow resulted in non-value-added activities and impacted turn around time. A shorter turnaround time was always in demand & discussion. After feedback from clinicians & the internal team, the laboratory took this project as a part of its Quality Improvement programme. A team from the laboratory & Process Excellence (PEx) Consultants from Ortho Clinical Diagnostics performed a workflow assessment to identify the root causes of delayed turnaround time. The team used the concept of ‘Lean’ which is a quality improvement tool that focuses on simplifying the process by removing the “waste” or “non-value added” activities. Aim: This study aimed to use integrated solutions & Lean methodology to simplify the complex laboratory workflow. Method: A pre and post intervention study was conducted using the DMAIC principle (Define, measure, analyze, improve & control). The intervention was an integrated platform for analysis of Biochemistry and Immunology samples. Laboratory Information System statistical analysis for turn around time, Operator tracking and Valustream mapping were used to identify the bottlenecks and eliminate non-value-added tasks. The laboratory turnaround time, number of vacutainers used, staff assigned to tasks, were compared in the pre-intervention (2019) & post-intervention (2022) period. Results: The adoption of an integrated platform, helped reduce turnaround time for laboratory results by 26%. The integrated system also enhanced the capacity of the laboratory to handle the workload using lesser vacutainers saving US $ 2075 & US $ 30,000 per year from saving 43800 man-hours annually. The operator motion was reduced and 6 non-value-added steps were eliminated saving the laboratory 55 minutes per batch. Also, 100 sq.ft of space was saved which was utilized by the laboratory for other specialized testing. Conclusion: Value stream mapping an important lean tool, helped the laboratory to identify bottlenecks at the pre-analytical stage due to non-value-added activities. Specific interventions like integration of the Clinical Chemistry & Immunology analyzer with central specimen receiving station the TAT compliance score improved by 41% and 6% for Biochemistry & Immunology assays respectively. The laboratory could also optimize their space, manpower and show potential savings of USD $ 32075/- per year. These measures improved the operational efficiency of the laboratory.

The particularities of the leaflets are showed in the article in the context of the opinion of their authors towards their opponent, president and conservative forces leader Charles de Gaulle, because so, in the framework of the epoch political history, the perspectives of the source study work with the documents of this type are open in the widest way.
Ewolucja normatywnej definicji pojęcia kosztów uzyskania przychodów w polskich podatkach dochodowych od 1920 roku
Authors: Goszczycki Tomasz
Published: September 2023

Wprowadzona od roku 2007 zmiana prawnej definicji pojęcia kosztów uzyskania przychodów, funkcjonującej w ustawach o podatku dochodowym od osób fizycznych i prawnych, reaktywowała alternatywne cele ich poniesienia, tj. zachowanie lub zabezpieczenie, i odniosła je do źródła przychodów. Uzasadnieniem tej zmiany było stwierdzenie, że tak sformułowana definicja odpowiada rozumieniu aktualnie istniejącego przepisu, jakie zostało nadane mu przez orzecznictwo sądów administracyjnych. W kontekście tego stwierdzenia w artykule przedstawiono, jak powstawała aktualna treściowa normatywna definicja tego pojęcia oraz jak na aktualne jego rozumienie wpłynęły historyczne rozwiązania definicyjne. Wskazano również na niewątpliwe znaczenie analiz pojęć prawa podatkowego w kontekście historycznym oraz dowiedziono, że aktualne rozumienie przepisu definiującego pojęcie kosztów uzyskania przychodów nie jest jedynie wynikiem rozważań judykatury, ale również pracy legislatora. Normatywne zmiany definicji pojęcia kosztów uzyskania przychodów przedstawiono w oparciu o akty prawne normujące podatki dochodowe od osób fizycznych i prawnych, uchwalone od czasu odrodzenia się państwa polskiego do współczesności. Wykorzystano metodę historycznoprawną i dogmatycznoprawną.
Obiekty obronne na obszarze ziemi łęczyckiej w świetle źródeł pisanych do schyłku epoki jagiellońskiej
Authors: Nowak Tadeusz , Ćwikła Łukasz
Published: September 2023

Celem artykułu jest zweryfikowanie i uzupełnienie informacji na temat obiektów obronnych występujących na obszarze dawnej ziemi łęczyckiej od średniowiecza do końca epoki jagiellońskiej (1572). Zaproponowana w tekście tematyka (szeroko rozumiane budownictwo obronne) doczekała się już kilku opracowań (dysponujemy publikacjami z zakresu archeologii pióra prof. Leszka Kajzera oraz przyczynkiem na temat fortalicji i dworów obronnych w dawnym powiecie brzezińskim autorstwa prof. Anny Marciniak-Kajzer). Zamysłem autorów jest skonfrontowanie dotychczasowego stanu wiedzy, opierającego się przede wszystkim na wynikach badań archeologicznych, z niewykorzystanymi dotąd przekazami źródeł pisanych. Głównym przedmiotem podjętych rozważań są fortalicje, zamki, fragmenty obwarowań miejskich itp. W tekście sięgnięto przede wszystkim do niewykorzystywanych dotąd, w kontekście proponowanej tematyki, średniowiecznych i nowożytnych zasobów źródeł rękopiśmiennych, tj. ksiąg grodzkich i ziemskich z terenu dawnego województwa łęczyckiego, w których zachowały się wzmianki na ich temat, a także zwrócono uwagę na niejednoznaczność łacińskich terminów (np. castrum), odnoszących się do budowli o charakterze obronnym. Rezultaty podjętych badań mogą okazać się przydatne do bardziej precyzyjnego określenia datacji tego typu budowli i pozwolą w wielu miejscach uzupełnić wyniki badań archeologów, a także ukazać potencjał obronny interesującego nas terytorium. Niniejszy tekst stanowi przyczynek do ewentualnych badań porównawczych nad sformułowanym problemem w odniesieniu do innych historycznych regionów Polski.
Obraz wojny w twórczości Stanisława Rembeka
Authors: Girys-Czagowiec Weronika
Published: September 2023

Stanisław Rembek był zarówno historykiem, zajmującym się materią przeszłości w kontekście naukowym, jak i pisarzem, tworzącym utwory literackie, których tworzywo stanowiły wydarzenia historyczne – te z odległej nieraz przeszłości i te, których autor był naocznym świadkiem i uczestnikiem. Celem niniejszego tekstu jest przedstawienie sposobu, w jaki w swojej twórczości pisarz ukazywał wojnę, pokazując grozę żołnierskich doświadczeń. W swoich utworach kreślił on obrazy okopowej codzienności, zmagań z głodem, uciążliwym zimnem, strachem, walki do kresu wytrzymałości. Zauważał, jak zapał żołnierzy i chęć do walki pod wpływem przedłużającej się wojny stopniowo przeradzały się w zmęczenie, zobojętnienie i gorycz. Nieodłączny element brutalnych opisów wojennej rzeczywistości, obecnych w utworach Rembeka, stanowiła śmierć. Nie była ona jednak wzniosła i patetyczna – pisarz ukazywał ją w sposób naturalistyczny, nie unikając drastycznych opisów krajobrazu po bitwie. Jego bohaterowie odczuwali dysonans pomiędzy własnymi wyobrażeniami o swojej bohaterskiej śmierci a obrazami, których na co dzień byli świadkami. W obrazach wojny, będących świadectwem własnych doświadczeń z okresu wojny polsko-bolszewickiej (utrwalonych w dzienniku wojennym), Rembek nawiązywał do naturalistycznej techniki obrazowania Stefana Żeromskiego, a także do tradycji Sienkiewiczowskiej, ekspresjonizmu oraz koncepcji Ernsta Jüngera. Spotykał się z zarzutem, iż pokazuje „brudny realizm wojny”, co dla niektórych krytyków stanowiło wadę jego twórczości, dla innych zaś wielką jej wartość. Sam natomiast mówił: „Moja wojna jest taka, jaka jest rzeczywiście”.
CREACIÓN. Investigación y Arte
Authors: Albarracin Camacho Leidy Yohanna , Sosa Gutiérrez Pedro Alexander , Arciniegas Rodríguez William Elías
Published: September 2023

Al mejor estilo del último Foucault, este libro problematiza el concepto Investigación-Creación, con estas relaciones y paradojas de las cuales el arte, la Estética, la creación artística y la misma Filosofía han tenido que enfrentarse a lo largo de la historia. Es decir, en una situación institucional como la contemporánea de la gestión del conocimiento de la investigación esclavizada por la innovación, el arte en el contexto mediático mundial, las diversas visualidades inventadas en el mundo contemporáneo y la industria cultural y artística; las reflexiones esbozadas aquí por los autores generan posturas críticas más allá de la polarización y la destrucción, y proponen un balance, una especie de “consenso anárquico” de acuerdo en algunos mínimos puntos de partida que permitan desarrollar todo el escenario de creación, y unos puntos de llegada que hagan posible trascender el objeto y lograr comprensiones más amplias del mundo, la sociedad y la constitución de los sujetos.Óscar Pulido Cortés
A Systematic Review of Systematic Reviews on Open Educational Resources: An Analysis of the Legal and Technical Openness
Authors: Sousa Lorena , Pedro Luís , Santos Carlos
Published: September 2023

Almost all open educational resources (OER) definitions encompass key concepts such as the 5R activities and open licenses. However, little attention is given to the technical aspects and tools that allow the user to interact with these resources. This study aims to answer five research questions regarding (a) 5R activities, (b) open licenses and intellectual property, (c) technical aspects, (d) tools for developing OER, and (e) the topic of sustainability. To answer these questions, a systematic review of systematic reviews on OER was conducted following the reporting checklist of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Sixteen studies were eligible and included in this review. The main findings suggest that although most studies did not mention the term 5R exactly, they mentioned related terms, such as share and adaptation. There was also a tendency toward focusing on more legal issues than technical aspects. Besides, most of the studies that mentioned tools discussed them as platforms to access OER, not exactly tools that encourage users to develop or adapt resources in an easy way. In relation to sustainability, several studies highlighted the relevance of developing sustainable OER models, but only a few suggested approaches to sustain an OER project. Therefore, with this article, we hope to raise awareness of the importance of the technical openness and tools that might contribute to fostering users’ engagement with the OER, helping them to act as producers and contributors rather than mere passive receivers.
Fostering agroforestry? Lessons from the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire
Authors: ZO-BI Irié Casimir , HÉRAULT Bruno
Published: September 2023

Promoting the emergence of agroforestry in Côte d'Ivoire has become a national priority. The country's agricultural sector generates 70% of export income, employs two-thirds of the working population and contributes one-third of GDP. However, this remarkable economic performance is based on cash crop farming, which has developed at the expense of natural forests, resulting in one of the most alarming deforestation rates in the world. To address this situation, the Ivorian government is promoting agroforestry as a solution, particularly in the cocoa sector. However, a detailed analysis of the origin of the trees present in cropfields suggests that agroforestry in Côte d'Ivoire can be divided into two categories: reforestation agroforestry, which restores forest cover by gradually associating trees with cocoa trees, and deforestation agroforestry, which degrades and impoverishes forest cover by converting natural forests into agroforestry systems. It is crucial to distinguish between these two forms of agroforestry in order to develop policies that encourage reforestation rather than deforestation. Also essential is to develop and set up dynamic agroforestry monitoring indicators that can assess the agroforestry trajectories of cropfields over time, and thus encourage farmers' long-term commitment to increasing forest cover.
“NOS PLÁCIDOS CAMPOS DO PAPEL, AOS GOLPES DA PENA”: ISABEL GONDIM AND THE RECEPTION OF SCHOOLBOOKS ON THE HISTORY OF BRAZIL (1873-1913)
Authors: Santos Magno Francisco de Jesus , Mecenas Santos Ane Luíse Silva
Published: September 2023

Isabel Gondim (1839-1933) foi uma professora primária, autora de livros escolares sobre a educação da infância feminina e a história pátria, além de ter sido sócia do Instituto Arqueológico e Geográfico de Pernambuco. Neste artigo temos como escopo a análise da recepção crítica dos livros escolares de História do Brasil escritos pela professora Isabel Gondim no período entre 1873 e 1913. Trata-se de um momento no qual ocorreu o aumento da demanda por livros escolares de história e que resultou na constituição de uma concorrência entre os autores. Por meio do cotejo entre os livros escolares e as resenhas e notícias publicadas na imprensa brasileira, tornou-se possível entender os meandros que avalizaram a produção historiográfica da professora, tanto no âmbito das inovações metodológicas, quanto das fragilidades das narrativas.
A HISTÓRIA DO BRASIL EM MANUEL AIRES DE CASAL: UMA ANÁLISE NA PERSPECTIVA DA CULTURA HISTÓRICA RÜSENIANA
Authors: Klosowski de Paula Larissa
Published: September 2023

Impressa no ano de 1817 no Brasil, a Corografia brasílica ou relação histórico-geográfica do Reino do Brasil, escrita pelo padre Manuel Aires de Casal, foi, de acordo com Prado Júnior (1955), referenciada no Brasil e no exterior, além de utilizada no ensino de história mesmo depois da virada republicana. Neste sentido, a proposta que segue visa apresentar, sob a ótica da cultura histórica em Jörn Rüsen (2001, 2007a, 2007b, 2011) a escrita da história do Brasil presente nessa fonte. Para tanto, partiu-se de uma análise bibliográfica sobre o sujeito que a escreveu e do período da escrita para, posteriormente, se identificar, à guisa da metateoria rüseniana, os aspectos da cultura histórica presentes na fonte em estudo. Concluiu-se que obra foi precursora de uma visão de história que se perpetuou.

An integrated cash waqf and Islamic crowdfunding model (I-CWCM) for SMEs: Policy implications for the post-Covid-19 pandemic
Authors: Sulaeman  , Abbiyu Muhamad Ghozali
Published: September 2023

Purpose – This paper aims to discuss the proposed model, called Integrated Cash Waqf and Islamic Crowdfunding Model (I-CWCM), for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), including micro-enterprises and household businesses in the digital era.Methodology – The author documents some cash waqf models and Islamic crowdfunding models that have been developed by previous researchers. And then modified and introduces the I-CWCM model based on the relevant literature study.Findings – In this model, the cash waqf funds (temporary and perpetual) will be invested in Islamic investments and productive asset programs. The investment return gained from cash waqf investments will be utilized for providing financial services by using PLS financing schemes and non-PLS financing schemes for SMEs.Implications – The article is conceptual in nature, and the developed model has not been tested either through interviews or empirical testing. For further research, it is necessary to validate the model either through interviews or by developing hypotheses. Furthermore, the I-CWCM will be possible to set up Islamic social finance institutions, Islamic financial institutions, and Islamic microfinance institutions in a country with a majority Muslim population like Indonesia, especially in times of crisis such as Covid-19 outbreaks.Originality – The originality of this study is the I-CWCM will include two important unit funds: (1) the reserve fund is for sustaining the cash waqf founder, and (2) the backup risk fund is for addressing any risk in business and non-business financing activities.
