Numerical analysis of sodium diffusion in aluminum electrolysis cathode carbon blocks based on a microstructure multi-factor corrected model
Authors: Gong Chenglong , Xu Tianqi , Qi Huarong , Li Yan
Published: January 2025

Current researches on sodium penetration in electrolytic aluminum cathode carbon blocks primarily measure cathode expansion curves, showing mostly macroscopic characteristics. However, the microscopic structure is often underexplored. As a porous medium, the diffusion performance of cathode carbon blocks is closely tied to their internal pore structure. Viewing the cathode carbon block as a multiphase composite material, this study examines the sodium diffusion process from a microstructural perspective. A prediction model for sodium diffusion, considering factors like porosity, temperature, binding effects, current density, and molecular ratio, was developed. A random aggregate model was implemented in Python and imported into finite element software to simulate sodium diffusion using Fick’s second law. Results indicate that increased porosity, higher temperatures, reduced binding effects, increased current density, and higher molecular ratios enhance sodium infiltration, reducing diffusion resistance and increasing the diffusion coefficient. The simulation aligns well with experimental results, confirming its accuracy and reliability.
Race, gender and the erasures of gentrification in Ezra Daniels and Ben Passmore’s BTTM FDRS
Authors: Conlan John
Published: January 2025

This article pays attention to gentrification, race and gender in the work of Ezra Daniels and Ben Passmore, as well as the specific forms of ‘erasure’ that connect these themes in their work. The erasure of identity that stems from racial, economic and gender disparity – the processes of marginalization that affect non-white voices and identities through logics of white supremacy and cultural appropriation – have been abiding themes of these artists. Reading Passmore’s and Daniels’s approach to these themes as part of a longer history of black comics activism, their work (like 2019’s BTTM FDRS) can be seen as an example of an ‘intersectional’ urban conscience, one that is mindful of the underrepresented history of black women’s participation in urban struggle (whether in the form of direct action or the production of graphic media), and how this participation is a key nexus in the web that connects race and gender with the problem of gentrification.
MODELING AND SIMULATION OF FLUID FLOWDYNAMICS FOR CO₂ MIGRATION IN TWO-DIMENSIONAL SALINE AQUIFERS
Authors: Zhai Henglai , Lin Zaibin , Souza Oliveira Francisco Bruno , Gomes Jeff
Published: January 2025

Geological carbon sequestration is increasingly recognized as a promising solution for mitigating CO2 emissions by storing CO2 in geological formations such as saline aquifers. Although recent research has primarily focused on optimizing CO2 trapping mechanisms to enhance storage efficiency, the flow dynamics of CO2 plume migration—particularly the propagation and growth of fingers—remain insufficiently understood. In response to these challenges, we develop a model to simulate CO2 plume migration in both homogeneous and heterogeneous porous media within two-dimensional (2D) saline aquifers. This study utilizes high-order reservoir simulations within the ICFERST framework, employing the control volume finite element method (CVFEM) to specifically capture the viscous instabilities associated with CO2 plume migration. The simulation process integrates various mesh resolutions and incorporates adaptive mesh optimization (AMO). Our results indicate that increasing mesh resolution significantly enhances the ability to accurately capture the formation and growth of CO2 fingers. In homogeneous porous media, AMO effectively balances accuracy and computational efficiency by dynamically refining or coarsening the mesh in critical regions. In heterogeneous porous media, simulations reveal the emergence of wider and larger fingers compared to those observed in homogeneous settings, with bifurcations occurring at locations where relative permeability undergoes significant changes.

O estudo visa melhorar a eficiência logística, reduzir custos e emissões de carbono, e promover o desenvolvimento regional sustentável.
“We are not your colony”: Policy discourses and resistance in Texas’s takeover of Houston Independent School District
Authors: Dawer Daniel I.
Published: January 2025

This paper applies principles of critical policy analysis (CPA) to examine the Texas Education Agency’s (TEA) 2023 takeover of the Houston Independent School District (HISD). Engaging in qualitative analyses of four TEA-facilitated community information sessions held during the period immediately preceding the takeover, I examine the policy discourses officials invoked to frame the takeover and the counter-discourses community members used to disrupt the state’s official narrative. Through policy discourses that attempted to narrow the scope, categorize community members, and create a sense of inevitability, state officials positioned the HISD community as passive recipients of the top-down implementation of takeover. In response, community members exercised their agency by strategically disrupting TEA’s official takeover narrative and advancing counter-discourses that highlighted the state’s organized neglect and evasion of answerability. Attending to gaps between the rhetoric and reality of takeover policy, this study demonstrates how the racialized narratives underpinning takeover, and state accountability systems more broadly, reinforce a disciplinary dynamic that neutralizes the democratic engagement of marginalized communities.
School-based racial equity collaborations: White principals implementing an active anti-racist stance
Authors: Kaiser Lindsey J. , Goldenkranz David , Lechner Heather K. , Burgess Patricia , Millines Dziko Trish
Published: January 2025

This study explores how White principals in the Seattle metropolitan area implemented an active anti-racist stance through school-based racial equity collaborations. Using participatory action research, the study follows three White principals in the Ally Engagement program, a community-based racial affinity leadership intervention, during the 2022-23 academic year. Our research-practice partnership asked: How do White school leaders implement their developing understanding of an active anti-racist stance? Findings reveal that principals used school-based racial equity collaborations to begin to ensure the influential presence of Black and Brown individuals in decision-making processes, foster race-specific conversations among predominantly White staff, and integrate anti-racist ideas and tools into daily school routines. By applying a racialized lens and engaging in critical self-reflection, these principals sought to navigate challenges, including institutional resistance, to address systemic racism. The study underscores the complexities and opportunities in leading for racial justice, emphasizing the need for meaningful action over performative commitments. We argue that school-based racial equity collaborations can help create a system of accountability for White principals to redistribute power, educate White folks, and work toward system-level change.
When equity leadership keeps white leaders in control: A whiteness as property analysis of district equity work
Authors: Salisbury Jason D. , Cummings Lakrista L.
Published: January 2025

Globally, schools continue to espouse commitments to equity and racial justice, yet racialized opportunity gaps continue to exist in schools, especially schools located in urban communities. In this research, we offer an empirically based explanation for this phenomenon by demonstrating how white district leaders resist enacting meaningful district improvement when it could require them to relinquish white peoples’ control of leadership. Specifically, we draw on critical race theory’s tenet of whiteness as property to reveal the ways white leaders work to maintain their propertied interest in leadership and the related benefits as opposed to engaging in the types of deep practice-changing equity work required to shift organizational practices in ways to generate equitable learning opportunities for youth of color. Implications of this research call for researchers and leadership preparation programs to invest in preparing leaders who are able to center shifting professional practices over maintaining access to the benefits of leadership.
Introduction to the special issue: Transforming school systems
Authors: Shah Vidya , Farrell Caitlin C.
Published: January 2025

As scholars studying school districts, we became increasingly concerned with how research from the Global North dominates global understandings of school governance, organization, and reform—what we term coloniality in global education reform. This special issue seeks to broaden these perspectives by examining how schools might be governed and organized with a focus on power, history, local and regional contexts, multiple ways of knowing, and sociopolitical dynamics. Through six articles, this issue interrogates how power operates and shifts across school organizing, governance, and community engagement. Featured studies span topics such as anti-racist leadership practices, the sociopolitical contexts of reform implementation, the reproduction of inequalities through “shadow education,” and the racialized dynamics of state takeovers. Insights from the Global South, particularly from Mexico and Brazil, challenge dominant narratives rooted in the Global North, highlighting the need to decenter Eurocentric perspectives. Extending this analysis, we reflect on how coloniality shaped the editorial process itself, revealing tensions around language, power, and representation in academic publishing. By questioning both global education reform practices and traditional approaches to academic scholarship, this special issue invites readers to critically examine with us the dominant paradigms and imagine more just, inclusive, and contextually-grounded possibilities for school governance and organization.
Production of biodiesel from hemp oil and oleic acid with sulfonated camphor catalysts is to be evaluated with controlled tests in a diesel engine
Authors: Sánchez-Cárdenas Manuel , Sánchez-Olmos Luis Antonio , Trejo Fernando , Sathish-Kumar Kamaraj , Montes Rivera Martín
Published: January 2025

This research examines the performance variables, combustion, and the amounts of NOx, CO, HC, and K emissions in a diesel engine, using blends of hemp biodiesel and oleic acid biodiesel with conventional diesel. To obtain biodiesel from hemp oil and oleic acid, a heterogeneous sulfonated camphor catalyst (CASU-AL) was used for the transesterification of hemp oil and the esterification of oleic acid respectively. Several characterization tests were performed on the CASU-AL catalyst such as the acid-base titration method for the quantification of acid sites, XRD analysis to determine the areas of the carbonaceous material, images and composition of CASU-AL were obtained with SEM and EDX, the porosity characteristics and surface properties were assessed with BET analysis. Constant operating conditions were used in the autogenous reactor with a temperature of 200 °C, a reaction time of 23 min, and a quantity of sulfonated camphor catalyst of 0.033 % w. Several analyses were applied to the CASU-AL, several mixtures were made with conventional diesel, and different biodiesels were obtained in the laboratory. The mixtures were conventional diesel (DIE-100), hemp oil biodiesel (BAC-100), oleic acid biodiesel (BAO-100), Diesel-BAC mixture with 30 % hemp oil biodiesel (MDBAC-30), and Diesel-BAO mixture with 30 % oleic acid biodiesel (MDBAO-30). For the tests in a diesel engine, three speed zones were selected in the engine to identify the behavior at low speed at 1,200 rpm, medium speed at 1,400 rpm, and high speed at 1800 rpm. Combustion tests reveal that no significant variation is observed in the characteristics and performance of the diesel engine, however, in the gaseous products derived from combustion, significant reductions in carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbon, and an increase in nitrogen oxide emissions were achieved when using DIE-100 compared to BAC-100 and BAO-100. The tests showed a reduction in NOx, CO, HC, K, and smoke emissions when testing MDBAC-30 and MDBAO-30 in a laboratory diesel engine. A comparison of the properties of hemp oil-oleic acid biodiesels BAC-100 and BAO-100 with conventional diesel DIE-100 revealed that the different biodiesels used could be used alone or in a blend of 70 % diesel and 30 % biodiesel to fuel diesel engines by decreasing air pollutants and promoting lubricity in the engine. Our findings revealed that MDBAC-30 and MDBAO-30 showed the best engine performance and lowest emissions among all the tested fuels. In other words, MDBAC-30 and MDBAO-30 are the ideal fuel blends for diesel engines and do not require any modification to the engine.
Das Soziale Anstaltsklima aus Sicht von Menschen in Ersatzfreiheitsstrafen
Authors: Bögelein Nicole , Martinez Dreyer Theresa
Published: January 2025

Dieser Text präsentiert die Ergebnisse aus Untersuchungen zum Sozialen Klima im Gefängnis in zwei deutschen Anstalten. Die Datenerhebung fand im Rahmen des Projektes »What really matters in prison: Exploring the concept of climate and resocialization across borders« statt: die Methode nutzt ethnographische Ansätze, es wurden Fragebögen verteilt, Interviews, Fokusgruppen sowie Beobachtungen durchgeführt – sowohl mit gefangenen Menschen als auch mit Bediensteten. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sich die Lebensrealitäten in den beiden untersuchten Anstalten unterscheiden, das spricht für den Einfluss des Sozialen Klimas einer Anstalt auf das Hafterleben der gefangenen Menschen. In beiden Anstalten zeigt sich die Prekarität von Menschen in Ersatzfreiheitsstrafen, die aus belasteten Lebenslagen kommen, die Ankunft in Haft als besonders belastend erleben und häufiger als Menschen in Strafhaft an Suizid denken. Genau wie Menschen in Strafhaft erleben sie keine Resozialisierung, sondern eine Entwurzelung und Schädigung durch die Haft. Die politische Dimension der Ersatzfreiheitsstrafe diskutieren Bedienstete und gefangene Menschen. Die Bediensteten erleben die Arbeit unterschiedlich, die einen betonen, wie viele Ressourcen die Ersatzfreiheitsstrafe binden würde, einige Sozialarbeitende aber empfinden die Arbeit als erfüllend.
Variations in carbohydrates molar mass distribution during chemical degradation and consequences on fibre strength
Authors: Montet Etienne , Lachenal Dominique , Chirat Christine
Published: January 2025

Industrial oxygen-delignified and fully-bleached hardwood kraft pulps were treated with chemicals to provoke carbohydrates depolymerisation: ozone, hypochlorous acid, and cellulase. The degrees of polymerisation (DP) of cellulose obtained by pulp viscosity measurement in Cuen and by size-exclusion chromatography after direct dissolution in DMAc/LiCl indicated the extent of the chemical degradation inflicted to the fibres. Molar mass distributions (MMD) described the carbohydrates depolymerisation patterns. Fibre strength was assessed by measuring the zero-span tensile index at never-dried state. Fibre strength deterioration seemed to be mainly driven by the topochemistry of the cellulose degradation (homogeneous or localised), rather than by its intensity usually measured as an average DP loss. In fact, depolymerisation by cellulase was found critically detrimental to fibres strength whereas ozone and hypochlorous acid induced little harm to the fibres despite a significant cellulose depolymerisation. According to these results, in line with several past studies, fibre strength measurements should be performed systematically as the sole pulp viscosity is an inadequate indicator. Alternatively, albeit being insufficient strength predictors on their own MMD can give valuable insight on the topochemistry of the cellulose degradation, a key aspect when monitoring fibre strength preservation during pulping and bleaching.

Published: January 2025

Die Studie evaluiert und interpretiert einen Satz von Pferdegeschirrbeschlägen von Milonice, Bez. Blansko (Mähren, Tschechische Republik) aus dem Bereich des europäischen Barbaricums. Die Beschläge stammen von mindestens zwei Garnituren und datieren in das späte 2. bis frühe 3. Jahrhundert n. Chr. Ihre Ausprägung kommt Funden von Illerup Ådal und Kazanskaya Stanica am nächsten. Sie stellen die ersten Vertreter dieser Gruppe in der mittleren Donauregion dar. Gebrauchsspurenuntersuchungen bestätigten eine Verwendung der Objekte und ihre Beschädigung. Die metallkundliche Analyse ergab, dass die untersuchten Artefakte (1 bis 6) aus Zinn, Messing und Silber hergestellt wurden. Mit Blick auf ihre Fundlage in der Landschaft und ihr Verhältnis zu mit anderen Funden in der Nähe ist eine Interpretation der Metallgegenstände als Deponieriung aus rituellen Gründen am wahrscheinlichsten.

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have gained significant attention for their exceptional magnetic properties and nano-level impact, making them highly effective tools for detecting environmental pollutants. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in utilizing MNPs for identifying organic and inorganic contaminants in wastewater. Key aspects discussed include the intrinsic properties of MNPs, strategies for their modification, and production techniques. Emphasis is placed on their potential applications in water pollution detection, highlighting their ability to enhance contaminant concentration and separation efficiency compared to conventional methods. The findings suggest that MNP-based approaches not only improve detection sensitivity but also promote eco-friendly practices, contributing to sustainable environmental management.
Investigation into drug resistance to cisplatin in cancer stem cell-enriched population in non-small cell lung cancer
Authors: Dere Egemen , Akgün Oğuzhan , Aztopal Nazlıhan , Ulukaya Engin
Published: January 2025

Objectives

understanding drug resistance in cancer is of importance in treatment. Cancer stem cells are main factor for drug resistance. Therefore, the possible gene/gene interactions/proteins were explored in our study using a cancer stem cell-enriched population (H1299/S) derived from a parental non-small cell lung cancer cell line (H1299/P).

Methods

response to cisplatin, which is the main drug for the treatment of lung cancer, was evaluated with the Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) viability test. As a result of the gene expression analysis, while 14 genes were not evaluated, expression profiles were obtained for 37 genes out of 51 genes. By the drug-protein interaction analyses, Topoisomerase I (TOPI), Topoisomerase 2 alpha (TOP2A), Topoisomerase 2 beta (TOP2B), Cyclin-dependent kinases 4 (CDK4), Cyclin-dependent kinases 6 (CDK6), ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1), ATP binding cassette subfamily C member 1 (ABCC1), ATP binding cassette subfamily C member 3 (ABCC3), B-cell leukemia/lymphoma 2 (BCL2), Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1), Breast cancer gene 1 (BRCA1) and Cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (CDKN1A) genes and protein products were statistically significantly found to be in association with drug resistance.

Results and discussion

in bioinformatics analyses, it was observed that 13 pathways were affected due to expression changes and 12 genes related to these pathways were determined to activate multidrug resistance mechanisms.

Conclusions

platinum-based drugs, as well as a broad range of other agents including topoisomerase and PARP1 inhibitors, and anthracyclines, have been shown to potentially possess multiple drug resistance.
Human remains from the River Thames: new dating evidence
Authors: Arthur Nichola , Sidell Jane , Bonney Heather
Published: January 2025

The River Thames, winding through the English capital of London, is the source of a substantial archaeological assemblage that includes hundreds of human bones, but the lack of a robust chronology for these finds limits interpretation. Here, 30 new radiocarbon dates are reported for the human remains. In combination with other available dates (some of which are also published here for the first time), this improved chronological framework demonstrates a predominance of Bronze and Iron Age dates and emphasises the need to explore the Thames assemblage in the broader context of watery deposition practices of later prehistoric north-west Europe.
Fire and Lies: Did the Berkeley Fire of 1923 Contribute to the Tunnel Fire of 1991?
Authors: Tobias Michele M. , Sibbett Scott S.
Published: January 2025

According to numerous eyewitnesses, wood shingle roofs were a primary factor in the speed and scope of the Berkeley fire of 1923, which destroyed in three hours six hundred structures in a dense residential neighborhood adjacent to the campus of the University of California. The city council swiftly banned shingles for homeowners who were building anew, not only in the burn area but citywide, and limited the use of shingles in refurbishing existing roofs. This essay, part 2 of a two-part series, describes and analyzes the shingle industry’s refusal to accept these limits on their lucrative market, and their subsequent disinformation campaign to persuade Berkeley voters that wood shingles were not a fire hazard. The efforts of the industry in 1923 and 1924 are shown to have contributed to the ferocity of the Tunnel Fire of 1991 (also known as the Oakland–Berkeley Firestorm) in which twenty-five individuals died from direct exposure to fire, and another thirty-four due to lethal afflictions triggered by the fire.
Is Stanisław Leszczyński’s Conversation between a European and an Islander from the Kingdom of Dumocala a social utopia?
Authors:   Uniwersytet w Białymstoku, Kuźmicz Karol
Published: January 2025

The writing output of the Polish King Stanisław Leszczyński (1677–1766) includes a work in the genre of social utopia, namely the Conversation of a European with an Islander from the Kingdom of Dumocala. This work is certainly less well known than Leszczyński’s most famous treatise A Free Voice insuring Freedom. Although considered not very original by the standards of the classical utopias of the Enlightenment era, it is an interesting subject for deeper analysis and scientific research. It can even be said that the text in question is one of Leszczyński’s least known works and has not, as yet, been the subject of detailed studies. Therefore, the main purpose of this article is to try to clear any doubts about whether Leszczyński’s text constitutes a utopia sui generis. This was pointed out primarily by Aleksander Świętochowski, in whose opinion the Conversation between a Europeans... does not meet the criteria required of social utopias. The research hypotheses posed in this article concern the issue of lawmaking in utopias and why this topic is usually overlooked by utopists, including Stanisław Leszczyński. The author of this article also refers to other texts by Stanisław Leszczyński that deal with issues related to law, especially the ways in which it is made and applied. In this way, the author attempts to conduct a more general analysis on the law in Stanisław Leszczyński’s views and to present his reform projects related to the proper functioning of the state.
Historical Conditions of the Development of the Institution of Mediationin Collective Labor Disputes in the United States
Authors:   Uniwersytet SWPS z siedzibą w Warszawie, Antolak‑Szymanski Katarzyna
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this article is to analyze the historical conditions of the development of the institution of mediation in collective labor disputes in the United States. The unique historical conditions that fundamentally influenced the level of use of mediation as a form of dispute resolution, both in the early days of its development in the US and today, need to be characterized. The characterization involves a consideration of the introduction of regulations that initiated the use of mediation at the state and then federal levels. The reach of mediation in collective disputes expanded from its original use in the transportation (railroads and airlines) sectors to its subsequent application in most labor disputes in the private sector. Mediation became institutionalized, as well as professionalized, thanks to the important support activities of the federal government and the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Services (FMCS). Therefore, it should be considered important to look at the actions taken by the government in the past to promote the use of the institution of mediation, including through the formation of bodies (councils) that contributed to the professionalization of the profession of mediator. The issues presented herein are relevant because mediation in the United States has reached a high level of development and overall success. An analysis of these issues becomes useful in the light of the interest in the process of implementation of the American mediation model by other countries. The sources used in the article are American publications that discuss the historical development of mediation in the US, the relevant legislation, and selected case law.
Court of Arbitration of the Warsaw Money Exchange (1921–1939)

Published: January 2025

In recent years, suggestions have been made to create a specialized court for the capital market, which would have jurisdiction over disputes that have arisen between participants in the market, as well as to introduce new special judicial procedures to, among other things, protect investors and streamline the settlement of stock market disputes. These suggestions are primarily due to the recognition of the peculiarities that characterize trade in the capital market (with particular emphasis on the stock market). Economic transactions in the broadest sense of this term are a dynamic phenomenon and, because contractual relationships constantly change and repeatedly form the basis for further transactions, disputes arising under commercial law require the quickest possible resolution.Therefore, it can be said that trade at stock exchanges is the quintessence of these dynamics and complexities of the legal relationships such trade involves, and this requires even greater efficiency and diligence in protecting the interests of its participants, including the ensuring of the right of recourse to a court. In addition, the settlement of disputes arising in the capital market requires not only knowledge of procedural law, but, most importantly, expertise in the trade in financial instruments. These issues and the resulting needs were recognized long ago, soon after Poland regained its independence in 1918, when the first exchanges were established on Polish soil to operate under national legislation. The commodity and stock exchange law enacted at the time provided for the need to ensure adequate protection of the interests of exchange members by, among other things, allowing them to assert their rights in courts.Although the status of the arbitration courts established pursuant to the provisions of the law was unclear, as they were a sort of intermediate solution between a court exercising coercive powers and an arbitral court, they certainly contributed to the implementation of exchange trade participants’ right to recourse to a court and to ensure high ethical standards in the conclusion of transactions. One such court operated between 1921 and 1939 at the most important Polish exchange of the interwar period in terms of trading volume – the Warsaw Money Exchange. The purpose of this article is to introduce this institution, also by discussing how the court was appointed against the background of the organization of the exchange and by presenting the scope of competence and the proceedings before the court. The authors also focused on presenting and analyzing data on the activities of the said institution.
Centralne zrzeszenia związków samorządu terytorialnego wobec przejęcia w 1932 roku egzekucji administracyjnej przez urzędy skarbowe
Authors:   WSPiA Rzeszowska Szkoła Wyższa, Witkowski Andrzej
Published: January 2025

The article aims to present the circumstances related to the passing, in 1932, of the act on the assumption of the right of administrative enforcement by the fiscal authorities and on the enforcement proceeding of the tax offices, and to describe a number of initiatives taken by the Association of Polish Cities, the Association of Polish Districts and the Association of Rural Municipalities, forewarning that adoption of the act would exacerbate the crisis in municipal finances. Moreover, when the act was adopted, the associations made attempts to impact the final shape of the secondary legislation based on the act. Due to the fact that the Council of Ministers only rarely took into account proposals lodged by the central associations of local governments, the latter filed numerous memoranda with the general national authorities; in these documents they put forth other proposals and justified them with a need to prevent negative effects of the implemented regulations.The Act of 10 March 1932 on the assumption of the right of administrative enforcement by the fiscal authorities and on the enforcement proceeding of the tax offices, and in particular, the secondary issued legislation based on that, significantly impaired the financial independence of local government associations while reducing their responsibility for achieving the planned budget revenues and, consequently, adversely affected their ability to perform the tasks incumbent upon them. These measures survived until the end of the interwar Poland. Voices postulating that the local government associations should regain the right to enforce the public levies due to them were also raised by the members of parliament, most commonly during the annual discussions on the draft state budget. A highly revealing position in this regard was presented by the parliamentary Budget Commission in a statement concerning the draft fiscal act and preliminary budget for the year 1939/40, which expressed an opinion that restoration of local government associations’ right to enforce payment of municipal levies and certain state taxes would “significantly improve the finances of the local governments”. The article in particular examined legal acts, parliament records and other source materials, for which the historical and legal review methods were applied.

Authors: Liu Jindian , Cheng Mingwang , Wu Chunyan
Published: January 2025

Drawing on the data from the China Education Panel Survey, the article investigates the effects of parental education level on child cognitive ability using descriptive statistics and quantitative analysis. Research findings of the study reveal that parental education level is significantly and positively related to child cognitive ability, with a greater impact on the cognitive ability of girls than boys, and that its effects on the child’s cognitive ability decline as the latter improves. The analysis of mediation effects shows that parental education level affects child cognitive ability via its impact on home educational expectations and investment.
Multisystem langerhans cell histiocytosis in an infant: a case report
Authors: M Ismatul Daila , I Ismatul Daira
Published: January 2025

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal proliferation of Langerhans cells, leading to multisystem involvement, particularly affecting bones, skin, and the central nervous system. While its presentation can be highly variable, diagnosis can be challenging due to its similarity to other conditions such as malignant tumors. Here, we report the case of an 11-month-old female patient with a progressive retro auricular mass, osteolytic bone lesions, and temporal bone involvement. Following biopsy and immunohistochemical analysis, the patient was diagnosed with multisystem LCH. The patient responded well to chemotherapy, showing disease stabilization. This case emphasizes the importance of considering LCH in the differential diagnosis of osteolytic lesions in pediatric patients and highlights the role of early biopsy and imaging in achieving an accurate diagnosis.
AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF RESISTANCE TO EMOTIONAL STRESS BASED ON THE “CONFLICT OF AFFERENT IMPULSES” MODEL

The constant and regular correlates of emotional stress states are ethological and vegetative reactions that serve regulatoryadaptive functions. The cardiovascular system plays a key role in the body’s adaptation to emotional and stressful challenges. The study aimed to study heart rate variability to identify indicators that have prognostic value regarding the occurrence of cardiac disorders in the form of arrhythmias. Using electrocardiography and interval cardiometry, the occurrence of heart rhythm disorders was investigated, depending on the duration of stress exposure and the individual typological characteristics of animals in the process of forming an emotional and stressful state. The article presents the results of studies of the emotional stress state under the conditions of the “afferent excitation conflict” model in 70 sexually mature male Wistar rats weighing 200-250 g and taking into account the basic principles of bioethics. It has been established that a prognostic factor unfavorable for the occurrence of heart rhythm disturbances is the absence of discrepancy in changes in the statistical characteristics of the heart rhythm after shortterm stress exposure in combination with the predominance of sympathetic extracardial regulatory influences. It has been shown that animals with a predominance of parasympathetic regulatory influences on heart rate and a decrease in centralization of control (decrease in the tension index) during the formation of neurogenic stress were more resistant to heart rhythm disturbances.

The article highlights the problem of the formation and development of the syndrome of professional burnout and evaluates its impact on the functioning of the physiological systems of the human body. The analysis of scientific literature is also presented regarding the definition of specific markers of burnout syndrome, which are formed as a result of the influence of its components on the functioning of the individual, the analysis of neuropsychophysiological changes. In burnout syndrome, morphofunctional changes are observed in the form of a decrease in dendritic arborization in such structures of the CNS as: prefrontal and anterior cingulate cortex, caudate nucleus, insula, hippocampus, and pons. Increases in dendritic arborization and spine density in the amygdala lead to impaired attention, reduced working memory, emotional exhaustion, irritability, anxiety, and physical fatigue. Hyperstimulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis leads to an increase in the secretion of cortisol and catecholamines, which, in combination with the inhibition of nitric oxide production, contributes to the risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as arteriosclerosis, hypertension, and other metabolic disorders. There are changes in the respiratory system, including bronchial hypersensitivity, asthma, increased respiratory symptoms and the risk of developing inflammatory processes. Exhaustion syndrome is accompanied by a malfunction of the organs of the gastrointestinal tract, and narrowing of blood vessels in them, which can be the cause of gastric and duodenal ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, portal hypertension, and liver necrosis. Along with this, there is a decrease in the bodys resistance to infectious diseases, which manifests in a violation of the ability of the immune system to suppress latent viruses and inflammatory processes. Long-term exposure to stressors leads to a decrease in libido, erectile dysfunction and deterioration of sperm quality in men, as well as menstrual cycle disorders, anovulation and infertility in women. Energy metabolism in the body during burnout syndrome is inhibited, and the ATP levels and mitochondrial respiration decrease. Prospects for further development include additional diagnostics of the above markers, including the determination of the concentration of components of the adenyl system in saliva, which will allow a more objective determination of the presence or absence of this syndrome, and the development of a correctional program aimed at restoring mental health.
Violencia y legitimidad
Authors: Coronado Cecilia
Published: January 2025

: La violencia sistémica consiste en los tratos agresivos que se infringen perpetua y sutilmente a individuos por parte de personas o grupos. Dicha violencia afecta negativamente el desarrollo de las distintas esferas sociales. Dado que la violencia sistémica es el resultado de una planeación racional, no alcanza a percibirse en su complejidad ni por los afectados ni por los agentes externos. El propósito del texto es discutir las razones por las que este tipo de violencia permanece aceptada. Para ello, en un primer momento se hablará sobre violencia sistémica y sus tipos. En un segundo momento se defenderá que las razones por las que comparece este tipo de violencia se deben al ejercicio continuado de la “razón instrumental” y el “autoritarismo” (bajo la perspectiva de Theodor Adorno y Max Horkheimer). Y, finalmente, se revisará si dicho análisis sirve para comprender las razones de comparecencia de ambos tipos de violencia sistémica o sólo de alguno de ellos.
O conservadorismo no Brasil pós-2016 e o exílio enquanto um mecanismo de exclusão política-moral
Authors: Lopes Fernanda Tarabal , Schneider Marques Teresa Cristina , Dalmaso-Junqueira Bruna
Published: January 2025

O presente texto reflete sobre o recente exílio enquanto fenômeno político no Brasil pós 2019, data de início do governo presidencial de Bolsonaro. Buscamos apresentar as configurações que relacionam tal mecanismo de exclusão política à ascensão de um conservadorismo no país, sobretudo após o início da última onda conservadora brasileira, mais visível após 2016. Em nosso artigo, avaliamos o uso recorrente do exílio na América Latina e destacamos o uso desse mecanismo também como forma de eliminação de sujeitos que não se encaixam em uma determinada moralidade por meio da análise da trajetória de Jean Wyllys. Para tanto, mobilizamos a história de vida enquanto método. A pesquisa verificou as complexidades do exílio e suas configurações não apenas como uma ferramenta de exclusão política, mas também como um mecanismo de expulsão relacionado à moral.
La Educación Decolonial Planetaria Compleja como esencia inclusiva y sus rupturas a-significantes
Authors: Rodriguez Milagros Elena
Published: January 2025

El estudio transmetódico con la deconstrucción rizomática y la hermenéutica comprensiva ecosófica y diatópica sustenta las rupturas a-significantes en la Educación Decolonial Planetaria Compleja como esencia inclusiva. Las rupturas a-significantes borran la concepciones excluyentes y coloniales para dar una nueva significancia decolonial e inclusiva; entre ellas todas las manifestaciones de las diferentes colonialidad imbricadas en la destrucción de la valía del ser humano enseñadas en la educación; la ruptura a-asignificante de la concepción reduccionista del ser humano; y enseñarle desde su complejidad: naturaleza-cuerpo-mente-alma-espíritu-Dios; la relación con Dios la Cristofanía hace de Dios, Espíritu Santo, Jesucristo un miembro de nuestra familia, de la escuela, comunidades de la tierra. La ruptura a-significante en la concepción reduccionista y separatista de las ciencias y de los conocimientos y saberes imprime una sustancia maravillosa en la enseñanza. La concordancia del mythos y el logos en la educación complejizan la praxis educativa.
Skorokhod M1 convergence of maxima of multivariate linear processes with heavy-tailed innovations and random coefficients
Authors: Krizmanić Danijel
Published: January 2025

In this paper, functional convergence is derived for the partial maxima stochastic processes of multivariate linear processes with weakly dependent heavy-tailed innovations and random coefficients. The convergence takes place in the space of ${\mathbb{R}^{d}}$-valued càdlàg functions on $[0,1]$ endowed with the weak Skorokhod ${M_{1}}$ topology.
The New Economy: Impact of Financial Digitalization on Ghana’s Public Sector
Authors: Adzakor Wisdom Kofi
Published: January 2025

This study examines the impact of financial digitalization on Ghana's public sector, highlighting the evolution of digital technologies and their transformative effects on economic operations. Using a qualitative literature review methodology, the study synthesizes existing research to explore the theoretical foundations of digitalization, the implementation of financial digital services in Ghana, and their impact on the public sector. Guided by innovation diffusion theory, the study categorizes the adoption of digital financial solutions into phases: innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards, illustrating the gradual integration of digital innovations within the public sector. Furthermore, it delves into the broader concept of the digital economy, discussing its opportunities and challenges for African nations like Ghana. While digitalization offers significant potential for economic growth and improved public services, addressing challenges such as digital literacy, regulatory frameworks, and job market stability is critical to maximizing its benefits. The study underscores the importance of financial digitalization in driving efficiency and transformation in Ghana's public sector.

New ways of teaching in the face of an old problem; the education of young people at risk of exclusion
Authors: Bernárdez-Gómez Abraham , González-Barea Eva María , Rodríguez-Entrena María Jesús
Published: January 2025

Teachers are students’ first contact in the classroom and the ones with whom they experience their relationships most intensely after those with their own classmates. Relationships with teachers and their actions in the classroom are of great relevance in how students develop their careers. Young people at risk of exclusion, which has been recurring in recent years, is an important matter. The aim with the research reported on here was to explore the life events and critical events that make it possible to describe the educational trajectory of young people at risk of exclusion who have dropped out of education and subsequently re-entered it. The aim was to investigate and characterise teacher-related events. We used a biographical narrative approach by elaborating on the educational trajectories of young people at risk through the reconstruction of their life stories. Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were used to collect data. The main results indicate that the teachers’ relationship with their students and the teaching methodology differ considerably in the different stages of their trajectory. Teachers in the reinstatement stage are more understanding of the different situations of students and are more supportive, leading to more positive events than in previous stages.
Cultural and micropolitical interactions of teacher relations
Authors: Tabancalı Erkan , Öngel Gülay
Published: January 2025

With the research discussed in this article we aimed to investigate the social-relational factors that negatively affect teacher relations. For this purpose, the perceptions that teachers have towards their relations, and especially collaboration, were investigated from micropolitical and cultural perspectives using a qualitative approach and a phenomenology model. Data were analysed using content analysis. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 60 teachers in Türkiye to explore their thoughts on teacher relations. The findings shed light on micropolitical strategies that negatively affect teacher relationships. In addition, findings provide empirical data from micropolitical and cultural frameworks on theoretical and applied strategies that facilitate approaches and practices to improve teachers’ collaborative relationships.
