Protection of racism from the anti-racism movement: taking colorblindness racial discrimination as an example
Authors: Wang Amy
Published: October 2024

After the emergence of many great anti-racism movements, the supporters of traditional racism have significantly decreased. However, racism, or more precisely, liberal racism, including its specific form - color-blind racism, has replaced traditional racism and still exists in large numbers in society. Racism seems to have found new ways of survival in anti-racism concepts such as liberal racism and color blindness. To analyze the new forms of racism that exist in today’s society, this article takes colorblindness racism as the analytical object. Starting from the dual role of color blindness in the anti-racism movement, it points out that a large number of new forms of racism are prevalent under the guise of anti-racism, revealing the challenges and limitations faced in current anti-racism activities in order to provide assistance for future anti-racism work.

Authors: Fang Zhengyang
Published: October 2024

The issue of the confrontational relationship between the two countries on the Korean Peninsula has been widely discussed worldwide, but there are still shortcomings in research on the Cold War period. Based on the current situation, this article utilizes constructivist theory, represented by Alexander Wendt’s viewpoint, to analyze the evolution of identity recognition and interaction between North and South Korea during the Cold War. Through analysis, the relationship between North and South Korea was at a freezing point at the end of the Korean War, and there were signs of easing in the following twenty years. The idea and concept of peaceful reunification were proposed, and after the end of the Cold War, the relationship took a big step forward, beginning cultural and economic exchanges and cooperation. Therefore, this article concludes that the relationship between North and South Korea gradually shifted from extreme confrontation to a certain degree of cooperation during the Cold War.

The Relationship Between EBIT/Total Revenue and Annual Returns: A Study of Leading Technology Companies
Authors: Fang Zhangcheng
Published: October 2024

This study examines the relationship between Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT)/Total Revenue and annual returns for four leading technology companies: Amazon (AMZN), Alibaba (BABA), Google (GOOG), and Baidu (BIDU). Using data from Yahoo Finance from 2018 to 2022 and applying regression analysis, the study finds a significant positive relationship between EBIT/Total Revenue ratios and annual returns. This suggests that higher EBIT/Total Revenue ratios may be associated with better annual returns. However, limitations include a narrow sample size and time frame, which may affect the generalizability of the results. Future research should consider a broader sample and longer time periods.

Gender History and Life History of European Women Musicians in the 19th Century: A Study on Clara Schumann, Fanny Mendelssohn and Cecile Chaminade
Authors: Yang Michelle
Published: October 2024

The research investigates the professional struggles faced by three distinguished female musicians of 19th-century Europe: Clara Schumann, Fanny Mendelssohn, and Cecile Chaminade. The research references biographies, correspondences, and other historical records to shed light on the social limitations that hindered their professional development. Even though all three musicians were historically recorded as talented pianists and composers, the popular patriarchal ideologies regarding women’s education, vocation, and domestic roles stopped them from advancing further in their profession. Even for these famous musicians, these beliefs and mindsets constrained them to their families. Their lives serve as a representation of the average European women’s lives at the time and provide further insight into the difficulties and general social conventions those women lived under. The research demonstrates how even the famous musicians Schumann, Mendelsohn, and Chaminade were oppressed and limited by the patriarchal society.

Diseño multimedia a través de RA como herramienta de aprendizaje en la heráldica de Latacunga
Authors: Armas Goyes Paul S. , Ortiz Betancourt Fernando A. , Astudillo Mamarandi Alfredo M.
Published: October 2024

El diseño multimedia, la realidad aumentada, la heráldica y la educación son conceptos aparentemente
divergentes o de difícil relación debido a sus objetivos particulares. No obstante, la sinergia entre ellos
puede dar lugar a proyectos de gran interés. El objetivo del estudio es explorar cómo la realidad aumentada
podría mejorar la visualización de los escudos de armas y brindar a los estudiantes una experiencia
interactiva para comprender y apreciar la historia y el significado de cada emblema. Se adoptó una
metodología cualitativa, transversal y descriptiva para la investigación, utilizando el método sistemático
para diseñadores propuesto por Bruce Archer, basado en evidencias fundamentadas y evaluación mediante
pruebas. Los resultados de la investigación se dividen en etapas. En la primera etapa, los resultados
generales de los encuestados muestran una falta de conocimiento sobre el significado simbólico que
representa cada parte del escudo. En la segunda etapa, se observó que la población encuestada se siente
representada por el escudo y su contenido, ya que cada parte tiene una conexión con el territorio que
representa, además de tener el potencial para ser un medio efectivo y promocional a nivel nacional e
internacional como forma de identidad. Finalmente, la tercera etapa evidencia que el prototipo de AR-book
es atractivo, interesante, sencillo y fácil de utilizar, resaltando su potencial educativo. Para concluir, no se
descarta que en el futuro surjan nuevas formas de enseñar o herramientas se adapten para incluirse en
el ámbito educativo, permitiendo dar un paso más a la hora de enseñar.
La Emancipación Humana, Las Luchas Feministas y la Necesaria Unidad de los Oprimidos
Authors: Miguel Erasmo Zaldívar Carrillo
Published: October 2024

Hablar de feminismo es hacerlo de la lucha enconada de las mujeres por elevar su dignidad robada por sociedades de explotación. Ya los clásicos del marismo reconocieron que la mujer era la más explotada de todos los explotados. El ser que más penurias y calamidades cargaba sobre su espalda era precisamente ella. Esto es un hecho que debe movilizarnos a todos. Es por ello que las divisiones que se dan entre algunos grupos de feminismos como el marxista y el liberal deben erradicarse en aras de la necesaria unidad. No debemos cometer el error de creer que la emancipación llegará de la mano de reformas y concesiones del capitalismo neoliberal. Solo seremos libres si nos unimos y derrocamos a este sistema de muerte. Luego de tomar el poder, entonces comenzará la más difícil de las batallas, la de construir nuevos simbolismos en los que no quede espacio para ninguna forma de discriminación o explotación.

Published: October 2024

Background: In 2019, Indonesia saw a peak in HIV-AIDS cases with 50,282 reported, and West Java ranked third nationally with 37,205 cases. To address the rising trend, especially in Bandung, this study examines the impact of traditional "sawer" bridal educational videos on the knowledge and attitudes of prospective bridal couples about AIDS.  Method: Using a one-group pre-test and post-test design without a control group, this quasi-experimental research involved 50 couples from Bandung. Participants took a pre-test, viewed health message videos about HIV-AIDS, and then took a post-test. Results: The results showed that respondents were between 20 and 35 years old. Among them, 56% were women, 42% had a bachelor's degree, and 54% worked in the private sector. The average knowledge score increased from 78.60 to 92.78, and the attitude score improved from 89.62 to 94.10. A paired T-test showed a significant difference (p-value = 0.001). Thus, traditional "sawer" videos effectively enhance AIDS awareness among brides and grooms. This indicates that education tailored to the cultural context can be more effective in increasing health awareness

Ütopik Metinlerdeki Şehir Kavramı Bağlamında Mardin-Yenişehir Üzerine Güncel Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: Uyanık Necip
Published: October 2024

Ütopyalarda siyaset, devlet, toplum ve birey üzerine felsefî anlayışlar ortaya konulmakla birlikte şehir hakkında da ayrıntılı bilgilere yer verilmiştir. Yaşanılan şehrin real kaotik durumundan hareketle ütopik ve ideal bir şehir düşünmek veya düşlemek her zaman için ilgi çekici bulunmuştur. Bu nedenle ütopyalarda şehrin düzeni, sokakların durumu, evlerin yapısı gibi konular gündeme getirilmiştir. Buna göre her ütopyada bir şehir politikası her zaman varolmuştur. Platon’un Devlet eserinden Thomas More’un Ütopya eserine kadar şehrin durumu ve düzeni üzerine esaslı araştırmalar yapılmış olduğunu görebiliriz: Şehir veya site nasıl olmalıdır? Şehrin surları hangi yükseklikte olmalıdır? Her şehirde kaç ev olmalıdır? Evlerin düzeni ve boyutu hangi kriterlere göre belirlenmelidir? Tüm bu soru(n)ların ütopyalarda geçtiği kadar modern çağdaki herhangi bir şehir için de geçerli olabileceğini varsaymak gerekir. Ancak şehir için herhangi bir ütopyası veya modern tabirle bir şehir planı ve projesine sahip olunamaması durumunda kaotik bir durumla karşılaşmak kaçınılmaz olur. Sadece bir şehir ütopyasına veya politikasına sahip olmanın da yeterli olmadığını ifade etmek gerekir. Öyleyse şehir politikası sadece ehil kişiler tarafından oluşturulan bir bilim insanları topluluğu tarafından kararlı bir şekilde pratikte gerçekleştirilmelidir. Tüm bu sorgulamalar doğrultusunda Mardin şehrinin yapısı üzerine real ve ütopik bir değerlendirme yapmak gerektiği apaçık ortadadır. Çünkü Mardin, bilhassa, “Yenişehir” diye tabir edilen kısmı için herhangi bir şehir planı olmadığını ifade etmek gerekir. Mardin’in içinde bulunduğu durum tam olarak kaotiktir, çünkü bu şehir ideal bir tasarıdan yoksun bir şekilde yapılanmaktadır. Bu yönüyle distopik ütopyalardaki korku şehrine dönüşmesi kaçınılmazdır. Ulaşımdan altyapıya, çevre düzenlemesinden çok katlı yapıların gelişigüzel inşa edilmesine dek bu durum kolayca anlaşılabilir. Bu doğrultuda Mardin’in içinde bulunduğu sorunlar, felsefî ve ütopik bir analiz yoluyla tartışılacaktır.

Quality Management System (QMS) is a structured framework or set of processes and procedures an organization implements to consistently deliver educational services and administrative processes that meet or exceed established quality standards. This study examined the QMS practices among Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Region XII, Philippines. Using an embedded mixed-method research design, data were collected through surveys and interviews with deans, faculty, students, and quality assurance directors. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to treat the quantitative data, while thematic analysis was employed to analyze the qualitative data. The quantitative results initially indicated that the private and public HEIs mostly practice the implementation substantially and consistently, indicating that the majority of instances or situations involve the application of the practice, demonstrating a commendable level of adherence. Qualitative probes elaborated on various QMS practices employed by private and public HEIs related to leading, planning, engaging, empowering, cultivating, and governing. Moreover, the quantitative results revealed that the QMS practices are the same across HEIs regardless of categories and groups of respondents. With this result, typical features of QMS practices employed by private and public HEIs uncovered in the qualitative results encompass leadership and governance support, policy development, implementation, academic support, academic environment, and data quality management. The overall outcomes of this research are the proposed policy recommendations to enhance QMS practices in HEIs, highlighting components related to communication, performance monitoring and analysis, stakeholder engagement and feedback, transparency and accountability, benchmarking and competitive analysis, professional development, and well-being. The research findings imply that by adopting and enhancing QMS practices, HEIs can significantly improve educational outcomes, stakeholder satisfaction, and institutional reputation, ultimately fostering a culture of continuous improvement and accountability within the academic environment.

This research aims to answer the basic problems faced by Radio Republik Indonesia (RRI) Tolitoli in increasing the productivity and quality of broadcasting facilities and infrastructure. Using a qualitative approach and descriptive research methods, this research was conducted at the Republic of Indonesia Radio Public Broadcasting Institute (LPP RRI) Tolitoli over a three-month period. Primary data was obtained through direct observation and in-depth interviews with six informants selected purposively. The research results show that RRI Tolitoli faces a number of challenges in increasing productivity and broadcast quality, especially related to poor infrastructure conditions. Through analysis of productivity and quality variables, research findings highlight the need for improvements in technical and managerial aspects. Although RRI Tolitoli has demonstrated a strong commitment to providing quality broadcasting services, there is still room for significant improvement in terms of technical infrastructure and resource management. The recommendations resulting from this research can become the basis for continuous improvement efforts in public broadcasting in Indonesia, with the main aim of meeting public demands for broadcasting that is informative, high quality and has a positive impact.

The aim of this research is to find out and describe the performance of village-owned enterprises (BUMD) in Tanggetada Village, Tanggetada District, Kolaka Regency. Type of qualitative descriptive research. The research location is Tanggetada Village. The informants in this research consisted of the Tanggetada Village Head, village secretary, village treasurer, Chair of the Village Consultative Body (BPD), hamlet head, as well as the director, secretary, and treasurer of the Tanggetada Village-Owned Enterprise (Bumdes), including the Tanggetada Village community. Types and sources of data are primary data and secondary data. Based on the results of research regarding the performance of Bumdes on efficiency indicators, in terms of providing information to the public, it has not been implemented well. Bumdes and the village government are not thorough in conducting outreach to the community, so the Bumdes program is not yet fully known to the community. In terms of effectiveness, there is still a lack of public interest in purchasing Bumdes program businesses, coupled with business production, which has decreased due to limited capital. In the aspect of justice, community involvement in implementing the Bumdes program is still limited, as can be seen from the decline in sales production, coupled with sales prices that are quite different compared to other places. Meanwhile, in terms of responsiveness, the management of income from the Bumdes program to the village government is generally unknown to the community, and also the development of Bumdes' businesses has not been able to run well.

Et stadig økende antall studier har undersøkt musikkterapi i eldreomsorg. Likevel er det fortsatt relativt få studier fra nordisk kontekst, og spesielt på hjemmeboende mennesker i en tidlig fase av demens. Vi beskriver her et opplegg som kombinerer individuell musikkterapi med korøvinger i kontekst av den pågående ALMUTH-studien, basert på teorier om biopsykososial helseforståelse (Ridder, 2016a), og helsemusikkering (Stige, 2016). Gjennom tre casevignetter belyser vi hvordan enkelte forløp kan variere med utgangspunkt i individuell tilrettelegging, lokalisasjon og involvering av pårørende. Vi hevder at den musikkterapeutiske protokollen kan balansere fleksibilitet og konsistens, slik at den terapeutiske intervensjonen i størst mulig grad kan standardiseres uten at dette går på bekostning av kontekstuell terapeutisk integritet. Organisering av tilbud i kommunal praksis krever en gjennomtenkt fordeling av ressurser for individuelle, gruppebaserte og hjemmebaserte tilbud basert på individuelle behov.

Os anticoncepcionais são amplamente utilizados por mulheres como método contraceptivo, e quando utilizados corretamente, apresentam uma eficácia de aproximadamente 99,7%. No entanto, esses medicamentos podem provocar diversos efeitos colaterais, como náuseas, dores de cabeça e, em casos mais graves, problemas cardíacos. O objetivo deste artigo foi examinar a relação entre o uso de contraceptivos orais e o desenvolvimento de trombose venosa. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, na qual os artigos analisados foram selecionados conforme critérios específicos de inclusão e exclusão. A pesquisa abrangeu estudos publicados entre 2019 e 2024, com dados extraídos das plataformas BVS, Scielo e Pubmed. No total, foram incluídos 10 artigos que compuseram a revisão. Os resultados apontam uma clara associação entre o uso de contraceptivos orais e o risco de trombose venosa. Especificamente, observou-se que o risco varia conforme a dose de estrogênio e o tipo de progestogênio presente na formulação do anticoncepcional. Essas substâncias podem alterar propriedades do sangue, como a coagulação e a viscosidade, aumentando a probabilidade de formação de coágulos nas veias, conhecidos como trombos venosos. A pesquisa conclui que o uso de anticoncepcionais pode, de fato, estar relacionado ao surgimento de trombose venosa em algumas mulheres, especialmente devido às alterações que o estrogênio e o progestogênio promovem na coagulação sanguínea. Contudo, é importante ressaltar que cada organismo responde de maneira diferente a esses medicamentos, o que reforça a necessidade de acompanhamento médico contínuo para garantir a saúde e o bem-estar das usuárias.
