A Study of Comorbidities and Nutritional Supplements Strongly Associated with Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Authors:   Binghamton University, Vlad Cynthia , Birtan Andreea , Begdache Lina
Published: February 2024

"Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are a group of chronic conditions of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are two primary types of IBD. Some pathologic ramifications of these diseases include weight loss, diarrhea, anemia, osteoporosis, and malignancies. The purpose of this study was to find potential unestablished associations between comorbidities linked to an inflammatory state, nutritional supplements used to help alleviate inflammation and promote wellbeing, and the psychological toll on patients. A deidentified database of 404 IBD patients built by Binghamton Gastroenterology Associates collected information on demographics, medical treatment, symptoms, and medical problems, including psychological disorders. We used semantic connectivity maps obtained through the Auto-Connectivity Map (CM) system to visualize relationships in our data. We aimed to identify possible associations between nutritional supplements (vitamin D, multivitamins, omega-3, and folic acid) and inflammation related to arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension, along with correlations to anxiety and depression. Our results reflect a close association between arthritis and hypertension (LS=0.68). Folic acid is linked to anxiety (LS= 0.74) and CVD (LS= 0.73). A strong association exists between lack of omega-3 intake and both arthritis (LS= 0.85) and depression (LS= 0.85). Depression and vitamin D intake are also associated (LS= 0.80). The association between arthritis, hypertension and CVD could be a direction for future research."
The Bathroom Tales
Authors:   Binghamton University, McFarlane Nichelae
Published: February 2024

The Bathroom Tales is a small collection of poems that were written based on certain facts of my environment that became prompts for my writing. Each poem was written with my location in mind, the location in question being on the dividing line of the bathroom and the hall as my friends began the hair-dyeing process. The poems represent a series of ongoing thoughts based on the prompts I received from my surroundings. “Of Sun” was inspired by the lights that flicker on upon entering the bathroom and their overbearing presence. “Murder: An Option” was written after noticing that the tampon machine in the public bathroom was empty, even though it allowed for quarters to be received. The echoes of footsteps and breath in the large bathroom helped me to write “Crescendo,” as the sounds came together to make a certain kind of harmony. “The In-Between” was written on the chair that kept the bathroom door open placing me in between the events of the bathroom and the hall.

Factors Associated with the Initiation of E-cigarette Usage in Adolescents: A Literature Review
Authors:   Binghamton University, Fracchiolla Ralph
Published: February 2024

The recent increase in e-cigarette usage among middle and high school aged adolescents has become alarming. The profound effect of nicotine on the developing brain and increased likelihood to smoke traditional cigarettes cannot be discounted. The purpose of this study was to understand the factors associated with the initiation of e-cigarette use in adolescents. The MEDLINE database was accessed and the keywords of e-cigarette, adolescents, and risk factors were utilized in the search. The four major themes which emerged repeatedly were: the effect of e-cigarettes on the renormalization of traditional cigarettes, the effect of e-cigarette advertising, perceptions associated with e-cigarette use, and social influence of e-cigarettes.
Enforcing the Gender Binary and Its Implications on Nonbinary Identities: An Exploration of the Linguistic and Social Erasure of Nonbinary Individuals in the United States
Authors:   Binghamton University, Shearer Jack
Published: February 2024

In American society’s history, there has been a strong agreement on the existence of only two genders - male and female. However, there are people outside this binary called “nonbinary” individuals. The gender binary, whose enforcement begins with language and the spreading of binary ideology, prevents nonbinary people from partaking in daily life without being misgendered. Much of gender perception is based upon the “gender schema”, which organizes traits into categories of “male” and “female” when judging others. The ramifications include, and are not limited to, social, medical, and legal discrimination. The option for a legal third sex with the choice to change gender markers later on, a standard third-person singular gender neutral pronoun, and increased advocacy for ending the conflation of sex and gender can hopefully lead to the increased normalization and acceptance of nonbinary people.

Dionysiac Art and Pastoral Escapism
Authors:   Binghamton University, Roth Casey
Published: February 2024

"As the Mediterranean cities expanded in an ever-more interconnected Hellenistic world, people longed for a rustic lifestyle because the urban landscape was seen to be engulfed by materialistic and vain concerns.[1] People faced many stresses in these urban centers and consequently searched for relief through art. How did Dionysiac art reflect political and social ideas and the identity of Hellenistic people through pastoralism? Pastoralism in art embodied the idea that satisfaction and carefreeness were attained through connecting with an environment unaffected by the calamity of the city. The countryside was populated by herdsmen and farmers, as well as the god Dionysus and his followers, including satyrs, and centaurs. These pastoral elements were associated with an idealistic way of living in that they described a utopia of sorts, one that provided an escape from the stresses of life in the city.[2] Ideals presented in Dionysiac art was utopian in all aspects, located in an ideal place (eu-topos) that overcame boundaries, both worldly and geographic (ou-topos), and allowed one to achieve an elevated state of mind in a pastoral locus amoenus.[3] The idealistic pastoral place filled with Dionysiac imagery was found where people welcomed natural resources, rather than vain amenities of the city, abandoning their identity as a city dweller for an identity defined by pastoralism. Dionysiac art provoked the viewer, such as the sleeping Hermaphroditus statue, confronting the viewer with boundary challenging issues—the world of ordinary versus the Dionysiac world, the pastoral world versus one’s own world.[4] Boundary challenging presented the idea of finding one’s way, integrating, and belonging, like mystery cults in which people found a new identity through participation in an escapist community.[5] Although people wanted to escape one aspect of their life, they found their way to something else of their own: the Dionysiac, pastoral world.

Moorish Revival Synagogue Architecture: Community and Style, Past and Present
Authors:   Binghamton University, Jelen Emily
Published: February 2024

The Moorish architectural style, originating in medieval Spain, was revived in the mid-nineteenth century. It became strongly linked with synagogues, first in Germany and then throughout the Western world. My research analyzes why the architects and Jewish communities were so attracted to the Moorish Revival style. During this period, European Jewish communities were tasked with constructing synagogues that could showcase their newfound freedoms as well as their history, culture and aspirations. Many argue that this style was chosen to demonstrate the connection between the communities and their ancient Middle Eastern history.
Outer Surface Protein C Typing of Borrelia burgdorferi in the Tick Populations of the Upper Susquehanna River Basin, New York

Published: February 2024

Lyme disease, the most common zoonotic disease in the United States, is caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. In order to manage and confront the notable rise in Lyme disease cases, it is crucial to cultivate a deeper understanding of B. burgdorferi and its genes. The outer surface protein C (ospC) gene is highly polymorphic and commonly used as a genetic marker due to its crucial role in establishing mammalian infection. We report novel data on the prevalence of B. burgdorferi ospC genotypes in the infected tick populations of the Upper Susquehanna River Basin of New York State. DNA extracted from 266 Ixodes scapularis, the blacklegged ticks, were tested for the presence of ospC gene and the positive samples were subjected to sequencing. The specific ospC genotype was identified for 56 positive samples which were infected with B. burgdorferi representing a single ospC genotype. A total of 12 ospC genotypes were identified in the 56 ticks, with genotypes I, K, and A being the most prevalent across the Upper Susquehanna River Basin with little variation among the six counties. The frequency distribution of ospC variants in this region is significantly different from the few previously studied regions in the Northeast. This research will have implications in the public health sector by providing assessment for Lyme disease risk in the Upper Susquehanna River Basin and insight into strain specific vaccines based on OspC. Further research can be done into the dispersion pattern of B. burgdorferi within the Upper Susquehanna River Basin, while also replicating this study for other regions.
A Seventeenth-Century Air History in Conversation with Antony and Cleopatra
Authors:   Binghamton University, DeLuca Laura
Published: February 2024

This article works to unpack the recurrences of air-related language utilized in Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra. Throughout this play, the notions of breath, wind, air, and vapor are consistently referenced, demonstrating the way in which atmospheric intangibility was a key point of exploration for contemporary scientists and philosophers. Through this analysis, it is clear that Shakespeare employs breath in three ways: the breath of (public) life, a lack of breath, and, most importantly, breath as a symbol of power and autonomy, which at times overlaps with the breath of life in ways that demonstrate contemporary conceptualizations of living beings. The relation of breath and power is shown to exist in other seventeenth-century texts, which often thought about breath and power in relation to God, spirits, and nature. Ultimately, Shakespeare treats air as transformative, wind as a whimsical means of transportation, and vapor as contagious. These ideas coincide with seventeenth-century understandings of these meteorological concepts found in complex scientific theories, natural philosophy ideas, and cultural constructions accepted by the general public.
Demigods and Gender Roles: Non-Heteronormative Gender Expressions and the Works of Rick Riordan
Authors:   Binghamton University, Witkowski Lee
Published: February 2024

Gender serves as a powerful ideology to systematically oppress minorities, such as women and people within the LGBTQ+ community. This ideology is learned at a young age through media such as fantasy literature. By analyzing several fantasy texts through a lens of gender politics, I track the history of gender in the fantasy genre and posit that inclusive works such as those of Rick Riordan influence children and adolescents to become more accepting of sexual and gender minorities.
The Contaminated Realities of a Post-IBM Endicott Today
Authors:   Binghamton University, Desai Priya
Published: February 2024

Endicott, a small town in the Southern Tier of New York, experienced great economic success due to the birth of IBM in 1911 through the late 1900s. Today, the town is left with environmental degradation and is tainted by carcinogens as a result. The post-industrial town has endured corporate-state mitigation efforts for years. This research will explore the realities of the toxic plume in the twenty years since operations have ended at the IBM-Endicott plant. Through implementing participant observations and a myriad of interviews with experts, including NYSDEC (New York State Department of Environmental Conservation) officials and Endicott residents, the plume’s lingering situation was revealed. The chemical spill continues to leave mixed emotions within the community. Some are angered at IBM, some retain their loyalty and respect, and others have come to terms with the efforts made and now see the plume as a part of Endicott’s history. This “toxic plume” is the worst reality of the possible effects that powerful corporations can impose on small towns, a reality that has become a fear for many such communities around the world. The ongoing story of the Endicott plume fits into the greater picture for the need of environmental justice; it is an example of precautions needed to be put into place for other industrial towns to prevent pollution and contamination.

Sense of Belonging of LGBTQ+, Racial Minority, and Religiously Affiliated College Students at Binghamton University
Authors:   Binghamton University, Islam Nusrat , Cingranelli Leah
Published: February 2024

Binghamton University and institutions alike have put forth certain rules and efforts to ensure that students of the LGBTQ+ community, people of color, and students who are religiously affiliated feel safe. The reality is that many of these students feel unwelcome and ostracized due to their social identities (Blakmon et al., 2020). The aim of this non-experimental study was to investigate if there was a significant difference in sense of belonging among minority groups of undergraduate students who attend Binghamton University, as well as those who are not part of minority groups. We hypothesized that the sense of belonging amongst minority groups will be lower when compared to the student population that does not self-identify within one of the following minority groups: LGBTQ+, racial minority, religiously affiliated. There was no significant data to conclude that students at Binghamton University who are LGBTQ+, a part of a racial minority, or are religiously affiliated have a lower or higher sense of belonging compared to students who are not part of those minority groups. This may mean that Binghamton University has found ways to support students that belong to these minority groups.
Food Insecurity in Broome County and its Effect on Adolescent Academic Performance
Authors:   Binghamton University, Gajewski Aidan
Published: February 2024

Food insecurity is a growing concern among children within the U.S., as the number of households who are food insecure has grown in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Food insecurity in children can lead to a multitude of cognitive complications. My research investigates the relationship between food insecurity and academic performance in elementary schools in Broome County. To uncover how food insecurity and academic performance are linked, interviews were conducted with school staff (teachers, administrators, a food service manager), the area's socioeconomic status was analyzed, standardized testing scores were compiled, and the food offerings in the area were explored. The results indicate that a place with higher food insecurity and higher poverty could result in lower academic performance, as observed through test scores and observations of the school staff. The results could also highlight that an area with lower food insecurity results in higher academic performance. This demonstrates the need to provide supplementary food and expanded free meals for children in schools to maximize their ability to succeed academically. Free meals for students through the National School Lunch Program should be provided into the future and supplementary programs should be accessible to all, not just those in areas with high food insecurity, to ensure schools give their students the resources they need to succeed.
Questions of Canon in Gilbert Hernandez's "Palomar" Comics
Authors:   Binghamton University, Dolan Martin
Published: February 2024

"While questions of misrepresentation are starting to be addressed in academia — acknowledging racial, cultural, gender, and artistic diversity — there is still much work to be done to close the gap between the literary canon and what contemporary literature actually looks like. These efforts have been a step in the right direction, but representation of unconventional literatures is often spotty, boiling down entire literary scenes into one book. This is especially true for those that offer formal or structural challenges – including multilingual and graphic narratives that don’t easily fit into a canonical “box.” Gilbert Hernandez's Palomar comics, serialized in Love and Rockets and later collected into graphic novels, demonstrate literature that is difficult to categorize and is thus excluded from academic attention. The three graphic novels that make up the bulk of Palomar tell funny yet tragic stories of individual passions and community responsibility in a small Latin American village. As the series progresses, Hernandez transforms from an author dominated by his influences — Hispanic literature and 1960s comics — to an artist at the forefront of both “scenes,” subverting the expectations of each to great effect. Palomar’s last novel, Poison River, is a masterpiece of graphic fiction that should be considered among the best of all twentieth-century literature – Chicano, graphic, or otherwise. Though the canon has traditionally excluded unique voices like Hernandez, his work deserves to be reevaluated academically and have its complexity considered a strength, not a reason for exclusion."
A Peek Behind the Curtain: Asian Americans on Screen and Behind the Scenes
Authors:   Binghamton University, Larch Amanda
Published: February 2024

The Hollywood film industry prominently consists of white actors, and critically acclaimed films are centered around white storylines. When Hollywood makes an adaptation based on people of color, specifically Asian Americans, they will whitewash the film to make it appear more socially acceptable. Scholars in Asian American studies, film studies, and other academic fields have analyzed Hollywood’s lack of diversity with actors, producers, directors, and even storylines. My study aims to analyze the connection between Asian American actors, directors, and producers from smaller to larger projects. Additionally, what did they do once they gained recognition and changed how Hollywood operates. Research has shown that this network among American actors, directors, and producers helps them stand against Hollywood’s barriers and change the industry from the inside.
A Housing Market on the Rise, Leaving Many Behind: Voices of Binghamton on the Housing Crisis
Authors:   Binghamton University, Fornara Trevor
Published: February 2024

The city of Binghamton is in the depths of a housing crisis that has been growing for decades. According to the Stakeholders of Broome County, a housing advocacy coalition, there are only 17 affordable housing units available for every 100 extremely low-income renter households. This deficit in low-income housing in the city of Binghamton and greater Broome County has been persistent for over 20 years. Despite this, hundreds of luxury housing units have been constructed in recent years that are marketed toward Binghamton University students and are too expensive for low-income households to afford. How does the presence of Binghamton University impact the local housing market, specifically the low-income housing market? Additionally, what policy solutions could be implemented to help alleviate the Binghamton housing crisis? I investigated the Binghamton low-income housing market through a series of interviews with tenants, landlords, non-profit and community leaders, public officials and university administrators. I specifically looked at Binghamton University’s effect on the housing landscape in the City of Binghamton. The impact caused by Binghamton University is partially due to the University’s 20 by 2020 plan announced in 2014, in which they planned to expand the school’s undergraduate and graduate enrollment from around 16,000 to 20,000 by 2020. The University fell 2,000 students shy of this expansion goal, however the planned expansion may have been a large factor in the construction of several student housing projects since the 2014 proposal. The City of Binghamton’s supply of student housing far surpasses the actual demand, although new student housing projects are proposed every year. Meanwhile, there is a severe shortage of low-income housing. Developers know that they can make more money in the over-saturated student housing market rather than the growing low-income housing market. Although policies have been written and proposed, the city and county have failed to enact sufficient policy to encourage developers to build affordable housing, as student housing projects and the university’s growth bring money to the downtown area, outpricing the local residents.
La doctrina de Carl Schmitt sobre el derecho internacional
Authors: Tripolone Gerardo
Published: February 2024

En esta contribución identificamos tres ejes fundamentales sobre los cuales es posible estructurar el pensamiento de Carl Schmitt sobre el derecho internacional: i) la ordenación del espacio; ii) la guerra, y iii) la limitación de la guerra. La estructuración que aquí proponemos hace más inteligible la doctrina de Schmitt en comparación con otros intentos de estudio del pensamiento jurídico-internacional del jurista alemán (como los de Campderrich, Fernández Pardo, Kervègan, entre otros). También mostramos que con nuestra interpretación es posible, al menos en principio, echar luz sobre aspectos hasta ahora oscuros del pensamiento schmittiano sobre el derecho internacional. Esto constituiría un aporte a la historia de las ideas jurídico-internacionales.
The role of gratitude and optimism on the resilience of covid-19 survivors
Authors: Lestari Rini , Prasetyaningrum Juliani , Imadanty Aqilah Larasati
Published: February 2024

COVID-19 survivors need to maintain their mental health to return to their regular life after recovering from COVID-19. One of the psychological resources that promote mental health is resilience. Resilience has been studied, but it is still rarely studied in COVID-19 survivors. Resilience can be affected by gratitude and optimism. This study examines the role of gratitude and optimism in the resilience of COVID-19 survivors. This study is a quantitative, correlational study. The population was students of COVID-19 survivors at the University of Muhammadiyah Surakarta. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The sample included 114 students who survived COVID-19, consisting of 36 men and 78 women aged 18–23. Data were collected using a gratitude scale, an optimism scale, and a resilience scale. Data analysis was conducted by multiple regression. The results show that gratitude and optimism have a role in the resilience of COVID-19 survivors. Gratitude has a positive effect on resilience, and optimism also positively affects resilience. Gratitude and optimism have a 35.9% role in the resilience of COVID-19 survivors. However, gratitude has a higher position than optimism in enhancing the resilience of COVID-19 survivors. The implication of this research is to increase resilience in COVID-19 survivors by increasing gratitude and optimism.
Self-regulation and tendency of smartphone addiction among college students
Authors: Wibowo Muhammad Ridho Sukmo , Wahidah Fatin Rohmah Nur , Agil Hilda Meriyandah
Published: February 2024

Nowadays, students have become inseparable from smartphones. A smartphone’s purpose should primarily be to serve as an educational tool. However, it is discovered that its primary application is for social media, which can lead to addiction to smartphones. Effective self-regulation can serve as a firm foundation for individuals to utilize a smartphone in a disciplined and appropriate manner. This study aimed to empirically investigate the impact of self-regulation on the propensity of students to develop smartphone addiction. This study employed a quantitative methodology, namely simple linear regression analysis. The sampling technique employed was purposive sampling, with a total sample size of 155 students. The measurement method used a smartphone addiction tendency scale (α = 0.849) and a self-regulation scale (α = 0.861). The findings of this study indicate that self-regulation has a significant impact on the propensity to develop smartphone addiction (β = -0.263; p<0.05). As a result, self regulation has the potential to mitigate the inclination towards smartphone addiction. The provided funding can be utilized as empirical evidence for assessing the impact of self-regulation on the susceptibility to smartphone addiction.

Published: February 2024

O acesso à saúde e às políticas públicas em populações remotas é um desafio relevante aos sistemas públicos no Brasil, dadas as dimensões e à diversidade territorial. Este artigo tem como proposta apresentar o Modelo Teórico-Lógico elaborado para avaliar o acesso da população ribeirinha à Rede de Urgência e Emergência em cenário Amazônico, com vistas a fortalecer o planejamento, o monitoramento e a avaliação em saúde voltadas para populações específicas. O ponto de partida metodológico foi a leitura de temas como o acesso à saúde e o contexto amazônico na sua inter-relação com a temática da pesquisa; que foram problematizados em encontros com colaboradores. O ponto de seguimento foi o de compreender e analisar o componente teórico e o lógico do modelo e adaptá-los à tríade Donabediana – estrutura, processo e resultado. O resultado configurou a construção do modelo propriamente dito, com centralidade nas características que representam a oferta dos serviços (sócio-organizacional) e o que representa principalmente o espaço (geográfico). Estes pontos de construção do Modelo demonstram a sua contribuição para subsidiar processos avaliativos outros e no impacto final na tomada de decisão para qualificar o acesso da população ribeirinha em momento de sofrimento agudo, auxiliando na superação das condições restritivas ao acesso à saúde destas populações.

Quanto aos fatores relacionados à prevenção, estão principalmente associados à triagem de casos suspeitos, hábitos de higiene pessoal, uso de equipamentos de proteção individual e isolamento do doente.
Tecendo redes: discussões sobre intersetorialidade e articulação territorial de serviços de saúde mental
Authors: Lima Déborah Karollyne Ribeiro Ramos , Silva Yure Rodrigues , Guimarães Jacileide
Published: February 2024

As ações e serviços de saúde brasileiros organizam-se seguindo a lógica das Redes de Atenção à Saúde (RAS). Consideramos as necessidades específicas dos indivíduos em sofrimento psíquico e/ou abuso de substâncias psicoativas, estabeleceu-se a rede temática de cuidados em saúde mental: Rede de Atenção Psicossocial (Raps). Para refletir e dialogar sobre atenção à saúde em rede, consideramos que a rede se constrói em território mediante a circulação e interação de gestores, trabalhadores e usuários. Nesse sentido, a pesquisa objetivou identificar as parcerias intersetoriais diretamente relacionadas ao cuidado em atenção psicossocial, refletindo sobre suas contribuições para a continuidade da atenção à saúde mental em território no cenário estudado. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa de campo, com abordagem qualitativa e enfoque exploratório-descritivo, na cidade de Natal-RN, em serviços aleatoriamente selecionados, buscando contemplar os diversos componentes da Raps. A coleta dos dados aconteceu no período de maio a outubro de 2017, a partir da realização de sessões de grupo focal e observação descritiva de serviços e estratégias que compõem a Raps Natal/RN. A pesquisa foi aprovada pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa em sob CAAE nº 65226817.5.0000.5292 e parecer 1.997.883. O estudo revelou os serviços da assistência social, serviços socioeducativos para crianças e adolescentes que cometem atos infracionais, igrejas e ONGs como as principais parcerias intersetoriais na rede. Evidencia-se a necessidade de fomentar um ‘agir intersetorial’ que transite pelos micro e macro espaços das políticas de saúde, assistência e seguridade social para a articulação das RAS e concretização da Raps em território.
Diabetes mellitus e saúde materna durante a pandemia de covid-19 no Brasil
Authors: Vieira Eduardo Emanuel Sátiro , Garcêz Laís
Published: February 2024

A pandemia do novo Coronavírus (COVID-19) representa um importante problema de saúde pública. Adicionalmente, o diabetes gestacional é uma das complicações maternas mais frequentes. Gestantes com diabetes apresentam maior risco de evolução para formas mais graves da COVID-19, fato este que pode refletir na saúde materna e fetal. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo é reunir evidências acerca da saúde materna de gestantes e puérperas com diabetes durante a pandemia de COVID-19 no Brasil. Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa, onde a fonte de dados compreendeu artigos publicados até maio de 2023 nas bases eletrônicas de dados MEDLINE via PubMed, LILACS e WHO COVID-19 Research Database. Foram listados 167 artigos e, após a aplicação dos critérios de elegibilidade, cinco estudos foram incluídos na presente revisão. No total, as pesquisas compreenderam 1.419 gestantes e puérperas com diabetes gestacional ou diabetes pré-existente. Quanto à saúde materna, os principais desfechos foram relacionados a infecção por COVID-19, como gravidade da doença e risco de morte. Além disso, foi observado maior prevalência de transtornos mentais de ocorrência frequente durante a pandemia no Brasil, como ansiedade e depressão. A atual pandemia impactou negativamente na saúde materna de gestantes com diabetes no país. No entanto, considerando que a maioria dos estudos se concentram no primeiro ano da pandemia, ainda são necessárias mais pesquisas sobre a temática, sobretudo estudos longitudinais.
Habitar en la ceguera. Casas, atmósferas y paisajes perceptivos a los ojos de algunos maestros del siglo XX
Authors: Fernandez-Trucios Sara , Montero-Fernandez Francisco Javier , García-García Tomás
Published: February 2024

Jorge Luis Borges confessed, on more than one occasion, that his modest blindness was not the dramatic darkness that common sense believes but rather a refuge that, in his case, was built in a slow twilight. At the end of his speech to receive the Honoris Causa degree from the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the University of Chile, the Argentine writer spoke about the gradual parting of his sight and the pleasant sensation of entering a new, richer, deeper, and more creative living space. Relying on blindness as an introspective landscape, as a habitable space where fantasy meets realism, it is in this context that the essay proposes to inhabit, with thought, a weightless and infinite domestic space. Other artists achieved it - Groussac, Monet, Homer, Joyce, Herzog, Pallasmaa, and Italo Calvino - turning this kind of induced blindness into an intimate and creative room in which to settle at the end of their lives. Professor Yeager introduces this story, making us ascend to the heavens in search of an inspiring, black, and profound space. The house dreamed by Manuel Parra and Danilo Veras leads us away from the light to discover ourselves in a unique sensory experience. From the hand of the master Lewerentz, this essay will bring together some architectural experimentations with a singular dark box, an asphalt and black environment: black box in Lund. Living in blindness suggests a revision of our perceptual field, imaginatively inhabiting these introspective places where laws seem to have disappeared. Blindness, as Borges mentioned in that speech, makes the body join the space to dream of a new, more poetic, and creative dwelling (Figure 1).
Imaginarios del poemario Cipango de Thomas Harris. Espacios baldíos, represión y violencia en la calle Orompello de Concepción
Authors: Muñoz-Morales Leonardo , Fuentealba-Quilodrán Jessica Solange , Muñoz-Rodríguez Rubén
Published: February 2024

This study seeks to present the imaginaries of Orompello Street in Concepción, Chile, described in the poetry book Cipango (1992) by Thomas Harris. To do this, a qualitative interpretive analysis of the collection of poems was carried out through reading cards. It was compared with the historical events that occurred in the place and a semi-structured interview with the author to delve into certain meanings present in the text. The results showed that the urban space and the living present in the story make up a heterotopia transformed into dystopia, located in a timeless context, the product of primordial violence that dates back to the time of the discovery of America and that is reproduced not only by the dictatorship of Pinochet but also by the State in democracy. The inhabitants of this place are immersed in a marginal atmosphere of repression and devastation, transforming the place into a wasteland. These characteristics and events make Orompello Street an uninhabitable place but full of meaning.
Students’ mathematics communication behavior: Assessment tools and their application
Authors: Musdi Edwin , Syaputra Hamdani , Arnellis  , Harisman Yulyanti
Published: February 2024

Mathematics communication ability is an essential component of mathematics that students should have. However, the mathematics communication ability of students, especially in Indonesia, still needs to improve. This study offers a new and different view of mathematics communication to improve it. This study aims to develop an assessment tool for students’ mathematics communication to identify the problems so teachers can focus on improving those areas. Not only the cognitive domain of the students, but this study also includes assessments of the affective and psychomotor domains as well. The reason is that cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects are interconnected in mathematics communication. The study of these three domains is called behavior. The assessment tools consist of the mathematics communication behavior analytical rubric and appropriate mathematics test problems. This study is developmental research with three phases: the development of the analytical rubric, the development of mathematics tests, and the application. The participants in this study are two mathematics education experts and 240 students in the 8th grade from seven schools, each located in a different city. The findings of this research show that the developed assessment tools can be used to assess students’ mathematics communication behavior.
Do compressed in-person classes yield student performance results comparable to traditional 16-week in-person classes?
Authors: Miller Irene , Bliss Timm
Published: February 2024

Institutions of higher learning are offering an increasing number of compressed in-person classes with the goal of providing to their diverse student populations flexibility of instruction delivery. Southern Illinois University (SIU) and many other colleges are offering an increasing number of classes with compressed schedules to increase student enrollment (Krug et al., 2015). The increase in the number of compressed classes presents the challenge of ensuring that the same academic rigor and breadth of knowledge are maintained in comparison to the traditional 16-week semester. Therefore, it is necessary for the compressed courses to provide the same student learning outcomes and cover the same course material, requiring faculty to use the same textbooks and course content. The purpose of this research study was to determine any variance in overall student academic performance after two groups of undergraduate students completed the same course taught in two different modalities, as indicated by comparing students’ final course grades. This study compared the performance of two groups of undergraduate students enrolled in the same Southern Illinois University (SIU) course that was delivered in two different modalities. An independent samples t-test was conducted in SPSS to determine if there was a significant difference between the on-campus and off-campus classes’ final course grades. There was no significant difference found between the on-campus and off-campus classes. These results suggest that the delivery formats of the course, traditional 16-week format or compressed off-campus weekend format, did not result in meaningful differences in the final course grades for the participating classes.

Introducción: Las microempresas, por su capacidad de generar empleo e ingresos coadyuvando al aparato productivo nacional y del mundo, dinamizando la activi-dad económica. Las organizaciones pueden hacer uso de la innovación como una estrategia clave que les permita crear una ventaja competitiva que garantice el creci-miento sostenible, generar diferenciación y creación de riqueza, en consecuencia, las microempresas deben pensar en una estrategia donde se especifiquen sus objetivos, planes de acción y cómo asignar sus recursos para cumplir con los objetivos. Las estrategias producen efectos en las funciones y divisiones de la empresa, y exigen que se tomen en cuenta tanto los factores externos como los factores internos que enfrenta la empresa. Objetivo: Proponer alternativas de fortalecimiento en la dinámica organizacional y comercial a las microempresas del corregimiento de La Florida en la ciudad de Pereira, frente a los desafíos ocasionados por la pandemia del COVID-19. Materiales y métodos: Se aplicará la metodología BUNT, en dos fases: En fase 1 se realizará identificación de las microempresas del corregimiento de La Florida; en fase 2 se hará un diagnóstico de las microempresas para obtener un análisis general de la microempresa sobre los aspectos comerciales y organi-zacionales en que se encuentran. Resultados: En lo organizacional, 11 empresas (69%) no utilizan manual de funciones, y en lo comercial, no utilizan estrategias de mercadeo 10 microempresas, que corresponden al 62,5%). Conclusiones: En aspectos organizacionales son escasas las microempresas que utilizan manuales de funciones y en estrategias de mercadeo es muy significativa comercialmente la ausencia de prácticas de mercadeo.
Estado del arte sobre las estrategias de comercialización utilizadas por los venteros informales de la Comuna 10 de Medellín

El empleo informal es un fenómeno que brinda sustento económico a una im-portante porción de la población de la capital del departamento de Antioquia. La comuna 10 de Medellín acoge una importante cantidad de venteros informales de la ciudad. Se realiza una revisión de fuentes de información secundaria sobre las estrategias de comercialización más utilizadas por comerciantes no formalizados del sector La Candelaria, mediante el empleo de método de análisis documental inductivo-deductivo, histórico-lógico y dialéctico. No se evidencia una teoría bien estructurada sobre estas formas de comercialización, pero sí se identifican vertientes o corrientes como la estructuralista, dualista, voluntarista y mixta que han tratado de establecer el origen de la economía informal, de la cual hacen parte los venteros informales. Durante el arqueo documental no se encuentran entidades dedicadas específicamente a mejorar la condición de esta población tan vulnerable, cosa que sí se da en relación con las personas que tienen un empleo formal, quienes están cobijados por la regulación y la gestión de la Organización Internacional del trabajo (Organización Internacional del Trabajo [OIT], 2021).Al desarrollar este estado del arte, se descubre que las estrategias que utilizan los venteros informales en la ciudad de Medellín se encuentran inmersas en lo que se conoce como mercadeo intuitivo, el cual se basa en el voz a voz y en sensibilidad del vendedor informal que le permite identificar la mejor manera de lograr sus resultados, dependiendo de diferentes factores como: la fecha, la hora, el clima, la ubicación geográfica, el mensaje con que se promueve el producto o servicio, la forma de presentación del producto, el bajo costo, debido (entre otras cosas) al no cobro de impuestos y muchos otros aspectos que resultan determinantes al momento de concretar las ventas.La documentación de las diferentes estrategias de las ventas que se desarrollan en medio de la informalidad puede servir como punto de partida para la generación de modelos de comercialización no formal para dar paso a mejores condiciones laborales y de vida para esta comunidad; así mismo puede ayudar a conocer más profundamente el fenómeno de la economía informal que, tal como lo menciona la teoría estructuralista, es el refugio para las personas que no encuentran un lugar en la economía formal.

El departamento de Sucre cuenta con cuenta con 272 ha establecidas con caña panelera, de las cuales 50 ha se encuentran establecidas en el municipio de La Unión, beneficiando a 20 familias productoras. Sin embargo, la competitividad de la agroindustria panelera en el municipio es limitada, básicamente por la falta de transferencia de tecnología en cuanto a planes manejo agronómico, la ausencia de estudios que detallen las dimensiones técnicas, de mercado, ambientales y sociales en las cuales se debe enmarcar la agroindustria panelera y orientar su desarrollo. Ante lo anteriormente expuesto, la presente investigación se propuso fortalecer la agroindustria panelera del municipio de La Unión, Sucre, a través de investigación participativa con la comunidad, orientada a la mejora de los sistemas productivos a través de la realización de estudios técnicos, de mercado y sociales que sirvan de guía para orientar los procesos de la agroindustria panelera del municipio a ser más eficientes y sostenibles.
Assimilating summer sea-ice thickness observations improves Arctic sea-ice forecast

Proper Arctic sea-ice forecasting for the melt season is still a major
challenge because of the recent lack of reliable pan-Arctic summer
sea-ice thickness (SIT) data. A new summer CryoSat-2 SIT observation
data set based on an artificial intelligence algorithm may alleviate
this situation. We assess the impact of this new data set on the
initialization of sea-ice forecasts in the melt seasons of 2015 and 2016
in a coupled sea ice-ocean model with data assimilation. We find that
the assimilation of the summer CryoSat-2 SIT observations can reduce the
summer ice-edge forecast error. Further, adding SIT observations to an
established forecast system with sea-ice concentration assimilation
leads to more realistic short-term summer ice-edge forecasts in the
Arctic Pacific sector. The long-term Arctic-wide SIT prediction is also
improved. In spite of remaining uncertainties, summer CryoSat-2 SIT
observations have the potential to improve Arctic sea-ice forecast on
multiple time scales.
