Technology Readiness and Users Satisfaction towards Self-Service Technology at Malaysian Airport
Authors: Othman Masayu , Nik Abdullah Nik Ab Halim
Published: September 2024

This study examines the relationship between four dimensions of Technology Readiness Index (TR) namely optimism, innovativeness, insecurity, discomfort, and the level of customer’s satisfaction towards the use of self-service technology (SSTs) at the airport. SSTs used by the airport operators or airlines at the terminal for check-in or when performing other transactions includes booking airline ticket online, kiosk check-in and mobile check-in. At the same time, this study also tries to look at whether there is any difference in technology readiness between different demographic groups of Malaysians. Survey questionnaires were distributed to passengers at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) in Sepang, Selangor, Malaysia. The result of the analysis shows that innovativeness and optimism have a positive relationship with customer satisfaction. There are also differences in technology readiness among different gender for innovativeness and insecurity index. The implication of the study suggests that Malaysia’s airport or airline providers should increase customer satisfaction especially by introducing new innovative technology at their premises. The findings may also help firms develop their strategy to further increase the customer’s satisfaction when using the self- service technology (SST) at airports in Malaysia.

Intersections between civic technology (civic tech) and governance in Nigeria and South Africa
Authors: Zisengwe Melissa
Published: September 2024

This study explores the drivers and impact of the civic technology (“civic tech”) ecosystems in Nigeria and South Africa, with a focus on civic tech actors’ engagement with governance matters in the two countries. Framed by a social accountability conceptual framework and based on data collected from an African civic tech database and interviews with civic tech players in both countries, the research explored the work of 26 initiatives in each country. Based on the content in the civic tech database, it was found that, in both countries, civic tech initiatives’ foci could be grouped into five categories: (1) citizen engagement and participation; (2) accountability  and transparency; (3) service delivery and government responsiveness; (4) improving and/or helping government; and (5) policy. The emphases among these foci were found to be largely similar between the two countries, with the exception of the fourth category of focus—improving and/ or helping government—which was significantly more prominent in the work of the South African initiatives than in the work of their Nigerian counterparts. A similar difference was identified in the findings from the interviews with Nigerian and South African civic tech actors. The South African interviewees identified, to a greater extent than the Nigerian interviewees, a collaborative ethos that was bringing government entities and civic tech actors together to jointly implement projects, including projects that had been fully integrated into the operations of government departments.

Features of Self-Regulation in Students, Using Profanity with Varying Frequency
Authors: Solntseva Natalia Vladimirovna , Kuzmenko Valeriya Vladimirovna
Published: September 2024

In modern society, profanity has an ambivalent status: its public use remains taboo, but at the same time its functional meaning is expanding and the degree of permissibility of its use in colloquial speech is increasing. The problem of using profanity is most acute among young people. Despite the large number of works on this topic, there are very few studies devoted to the relationship of the use of profanity with various personal characteristics. The purpose of this study is to identify the features of self-regulation in students who use profanity with varying frequency. The study sample: 80 students of St. Petersburg humanities, average age 20,2 years. Research methods: questionnaire “Style of self-regulation of behavior - SSP-98” by V. I. Morosanova and an author's questionnaire aimed at identifying the frequency of use of profanity by students and their environment, as well as to identify the attitude of students to the use of profanity in various situations. As a result of the conducted research, it was revealed that the use / non-use of profanity by the family and the reference group (friends) acts as a risk factor / protection factor in relation to their own frequency of use of profanity. A tendency to decrease the frequency of use of profanity among students with increasing age has been revealed. The frequency of profanity usage correlates with the students' self-regulation style. The regulation of one's own behavior is related to an external factor - the model of behavior of friends in relation to profanity. The results obtained allow us to formulate possible ways to reduce the frequency of use of profanity.
Migration Motives and Attitudes of Omsk Students Living Together With Parents and Separately from their
Authors: Malenov Alexander Alexandrovich
Published: September 2024

The priority direction of research into the migration behavior of young people is the search for factors in the formation of migration attitudes in order to control the corresponding risks. One of them is the form of living with family. Using a sample of 275 Omsk students, using questionnaires and testing, a comparative study established that there are general signs of potential migration behavior and specific ones that distinguish students separately and living together with their parents. For the majority of respondents, migration intentions were formed to varying degrees, with their cognitive component dominating over the behavioral one. Migration attitudes have an average level of expression. The main reasons for moving are orientation towards high-quality satisfaction of economic, social, cultural and leisure needs, which, according to students, are more accessible in other cities. Students living separately from their parents are more likely to have clear migration plans and a determination to implement them; migration preference is given to cities with a richer cultural life, prospects for career growth and leadership positions. They found the strongest significant correlations between all components of migration attitudes. Students living with their parents are limited to searching for information about a potential place of study or work in another city, without taking active steps to move. For them, the family acts as a holding factor rather than a pushing factor. The hypothesis about the form of residence with parents as a factor in the migration behavior of students was partially confirmed. Prospects: establishing a connection between migration attitudes and other socio-demographic characteristics of students, for example, field of study, marital status, labor status, income level.
Methodology for Diagnosing the Motives of Vandal Behavior for Adolescent and Young Adult Students: Results of Refinements
Authors: Kruzhkova Olga Vladimirovna , Vorobyeva Irina Vladimirovna , Matveeva Alena Igorevna
Published: September 2024

The article considers the phenomenon of vandal behaviour of students and states the need for a detailed study of the factors that cause it. In domestic and foreign practice to study the motives of vandal behaviour there is only one methodology - the questionnaire “Motives of Vandal Behaviour”, developed by the author's team in 2011. Due to objective circumstances, the stimulus material of this toolkit had to be updated, which was the purpose of this work. The questionnaire items were updated both from the point of view of clarifying the wording, which no longer corresponds to the possible experience of vandal behaviour of modern representatives of adolescence and adolescence, and to take into account the fact that it is in the educational environment that students spend most of their time and, accordingly, implement their vandal practices in it. Psychometric verification of the questionnaire was carried out on the basis of data collected in 2023 in 8 subjects of the Russian Federation, 354 students of 8-11 grades, including 186 boys and 168 girls aged 14 to 18 years took part in the study. The structure of the questionnaire was checked by correlation analysis, and the reliability of the scales was assessed by calculating the Cronbach's Alpha coefficient. The validity of the methodology was also checked, criterion predictive validity and criterion competitive validity were determined. As a result, the updated methodology “Motives of Vandal Behaviour” showed high reliability indicators with preservation of a good level of discriminativity of scales, as well as the necessary level of criterion validity, which indicates the possibility of using this toolkit to identify the readiness of students to vandal activity and to determine the motivational basis of such behaviour.
Altruism with Egoism: a New Ethical Formula and the Main Consequences. Part 2
Authors: Levit Leonid Zigfridovich
Published: September 2024

The article represents a thorough analysis of the most important results obtained with the help of the Experience sampling methods (ESM) in the frame of the author's longitudinal studies. The author explores positive (not negative, as he traditionally supposed) correlations between the scores of the egoism scale (“good, benefit for oneself”) and the altruism scale (“good, benefit for other people”). He also explores a certain predominance of the egoistic scores over the altruistic ones in most life situations that have been estimated in the course of the explorations. Some mental experiments are also conducted. They help to follow possible perspectives of the different life choices. The author makes a conclusion that the overall summing of the individual egoistic benefit together with the altruistic use got by other people creates a maximal quantity of good - the value, which is traditionally studied by ethics. A combination (not an opposition as it was adopted earlier) of altruism and egoism in a productive individual activity responds to the characteristics of the ideal ethical formula, in which a personal and a social interest correspond to each other but are not identical. In the contrary, an individual will either have to fully submit his personal interests either to social ones (an altruism dominance), or choose a short-term hedonism as the main life orientation (egoism dominance). Both of the above mentioned perspectives are demonstrated as deficient. In the last part of the article, the author recommends to introduce the “rational egoism” (“rational altruism”) lessons at schools, where the pupils could discuss and practically participate in the disputable and complex life situations based on the discovered interaction between the egoistic and altruistic components of their behavior.
Value-Semantic Features of Persons with Different Types of Attitude to the Victim
Authors: Belenko Svetlana Sergeevna
Published: September 2024

The attitude in study is considered in the aspect of a person expressing his opinion about an object based on a formed value-semantic structure. Values and meanings act as an internal qualification in the relationship between the individual and society. Socially significant values are involved in the formation of a certain attitude towards the surrounding reality in each person. A person, depending on his value and semantic characteristics, decides what moral position to take in relation to the events of the surrounding reality and people. In different life circumstances, a person evaluates other people in different ways and shows his attitude towards them. To actualize the values and meanings of personality, the study suggests victim situations as stressful, affecting the psychological well-being of the individual, stimulating the manifestation of predetermined, attitude response patterns. Research methods: modeling, testing, and questionnaires. The sample included 190 respondents (equally men and women) of different ages, social status, and professional affiliation. Statistical processing was carried out using Pearson's chi-squared criterion and Student's t-test. In an empirical study, it was determined that the attitude towards the victim differs depending on the position of the evaluating subject (who is in the role of the victim or in the role of an outside observer); the value-semantic characteristics of three types of attitude towards the victim are highlighted and described: accuser, sympathetic and neutral. The results of this scientific study will help to expand the understanding of the value-semantic features of persons with different types of attitudes towards the victim. The information presented can be used by specialists in order to develop measures for psychological education, prevention of victim blaming as a social phenomenon, assistance to victims in victim situations and the formation of a compassionate attitude in society towards people who find themselves in a difficult life situation.
Models of the burnout process: a retrospective and systematic review (part 1)
Authors: Truhan Elena Antonovna
Published: September 2024

The article presents more than 40 models of the burnout process, many of which are empirically confirmed. A retrospective analysis of burnout concepts allowed us to identify five types of models: 1) metaphorical, using metaphors of burning, falling, discharge to popularize the topic of burnout; 2) phenomenological, empirical in nature and devoted to the description of burnout phenomenology on the basis of clinical, organizational or role experience; 3) derived from the three-component burnout model of C. Maslach, while the main of component is the emotional exhaustion; 4) stress-oriented, conceptualizing burnout on the basis of stress theory; 5) polar “engagement - burnout”, based on their opposition as positive and negative poles of some functional continuum. Burnout is understood as a process developing in time with a certain sequence of phases, or as a final stage of the process of disillusionment, loss of energy resources, etc. The discrete aspect of the burnout process is characterized by the prevalence of three-and five-phase models. New conceptual and research approaches are focused on the mechanisms of crossover, social induction or emotional contagion to burnout in other employees or partners. In general, there is no unified process model of burnout with a normative sequence and duration of phases, a specific list of triggers, catalysts and related effects.
Behavioral control and spontaneous play of preschoolers
Authors: Dostanov Mikhail Mihailovich , Vilenskaya Galina Al'fredovna
Published: September 2024

The article presents the results of a study of the characteristics of behavioral control in preschool children in free play. The relevance of this topic is due to the need to study the current stage of development of children's play and the incompleteness of data on the relationship between self-regulation and the characteristics of children's play. Self-regulation is considered as behavioral control - a regulatory function of the subject, based on his individual resources. The purpose of this research is to study how the level of development of various components of behavioral control and the features of free play are connected in the free play of modern preschoolers, various aspects of behavior control manifest themselves and develop, and also what impact they can have on the game itself. The study involved 35 students from a state budgetary educational institution in Moscow aged 4 to 6 years. The main research methods were testing, as well as participant observation of children's play activity. The results showed that cognitive control, to a greater extent, its verbal component, is associated with the severity of the main structural elements of the play (role, plot, rules), as well as with the independence of the child in the course of building and maintaining a in-play situation. Cognitive control also contributes to a greater ordering of children's actions and independence during play, contributes to building more structured and predictable behavior and, in turn, better interaction between children. Control of action is also related to the severity of the main structural elements of the game (role, plot, rules). There were no links between the features of the play and emotional control. The obtained data can help to better understand both the mechanisms of development and manifestation of behavior control in the free play activities of children, and also for a better understanding of the features of modern play.
Izquierdas latinoamericanas frente a la crisis universitaria en los sesenta y setenta
Authors: Dip Nicolás
Published: September 2024

El artículo toma como referencia la trayectoria trasnacional del intelectual brasileño Darcy Ribeiro, con la finalidad de reconstruir en forma conectada las intervenciones de las izquierdas latinoamericanas en torno a la cuestión universitaria, haciendo hincapié en centros de estudio de Argentina, México, Chile y otros países de la región. El abordaje de la cuestión universitaria permite evitar las perspectivas unidireccionales que retratan a los sesenta y setenta como un momento de ruptura, marcado por el predominio de una nueva izquierda. Lejos de esas visiones lineales, el debate sobre la crisis de las universidades manifiesta encrucijadas comunes entre diversos actores, como las juventudes comunistas, el peronismo de izquierda y grupos fuertemente críticos de las izquierdas tradicionales. De esta manera, el trabajo concluye que si se profundiza en este tipo de controversias quizás puedan encontrarse más puentes tendidos entre experiencias de politización, radicalización y partidización diversas, pero con temáticas y abordajes comunes.

Este artí­culo se enfoca en la distribución del ingreso en la provincia de Santiago del Estero, Argentina, a través de datos provenientes de la Contabilidad Regional, la cual contribuye a desentrañar distintos tipos de evaluaciones, una de ellas, referida a la igualdad en los ingresos, y la otra, a la precariedad laboral. El estudio se basa en un análisis comparativo, tomando como base el valor promedio nacional, con el fin de fijar parámetros que faciliten el diagnóstico de la dinámica del problema en una de las provincias más pobres del paí­s. También se procedió a segmentar la serie de tiempo de acuerdo a las diferentes fases de ciclo por las cuales atravesó la economí­a santiagueña y examinar el comportamiento tanto de la distribución primaria como de las remuneraciones al trabajo.
Populismos del siglo XXI, ¿nueva fase luego del giro nacional-popular de principios de siglo?
Authors: Stoessel Soledad , Retamozo Martín
Published: September 2024

El texto introduce el dossier a partir de situar el debate en torno al estatus de la categoría de populismo para pensar los vigentes procesos políticos en la región latinoamericana. Propone distintos usos críticos de la teoría del populismo a la que se adicionan nociones clave de la teoría/ciencia política ‒como Estado, hegemonía, lo nacional-popular, derechas radicales‒, para interrogar el fenómeno político actual enmarcado en una nueva ola de gobiernos progresistas en América Latina, luego de la primera suscitada a inicios del siglo XXI. El texto sostiene que la teoría del populismo desplegada en tres dimensiones puede operar como un recurso para comprender el devenir de estos gobiernos: como proceso histórico, como productor de sujetos e identidades y como tipo de gobierno que gestiona el orden social. A partir de esta conceptualización, el dossier aborda el nuevo giro nacional-popular, distinguiendo dos bloques de países: el primero compuesto por aquellos como Colombia y México que no formaron parte de la llamada "marea rosa", y el segundo, formado por aquellos caracterizados por un “retorno populista”, como Argentina, Bolivia y Brasil, que presentan marcadas diferencias respecto de las experiencias de principio de siglo.
Muchos pueblos y una sola Argentina. Las derivas nacional populares durante el gobierno de Alberto Fernández
Authors: Muñoz María Antonia
Published: September 2024

Desde el año 2019, el espacio nacional-popular en Argentina parece unificado solamente a través de un frente electoral que tiene la voluntad de gobernar hasta el 2023. Este espacio contiene programas diferentes, carece de un liderazgo compartido y acoge voluntades populares diferenciales, poniendo en riesgo incluso el éxito en las próximas elecciones presidenciales. En el presente texto me pregunto ¿existe en Argentina una conformación política populista? Para avanzar sobre esta pregunta se utilizará la concepción de la lógica popular de Laclau con el objeto de analizar no solamente las identidades en juego sino la relación entre ellas. El análisis me permitió llegar a una principal conclusión: durante el gobierno de Fernández se puede observar la interacción de identidades que parecen haber conformado “pueblos” pero ninguna logró universalizar el espacio nacional popular.

Hacer nuestro tiempo: la disputa por los horizontes predictivos de la sociedad. Entrevista a Álvaro García Linera
Authors: Stoessel Soledad , Retamozo Martín
Published: September 2024

Esta entrevista a Álvaro García Linea presenta una aguda reflexión en torno a la relación entre lo nacional-popular y el populismo, dos conceptos clave para analizar la política latinoamericana. La preferencia de García Linera por el primero estriba en su extraordinaria capacidad explicativa para comprender las heterógeneas luchas sociales, la construcción de sujetos políticos y las transformaciones revolucionarias. Nutrido del debate gramsciano de los años ochenta, García Linera lo conjuga con la discusión marxista para dar cuenta de la configuración de las clases sociales que en América Latina, y especialmente en Bolivia, tiene una profunda carga étnica. Lo nacional-popular es la manera de realización histórica práctica de las luchas de clases plebeyas por su autonomía y autodeterminación, cuyas características y destino no están preestablecidos más allá del curso mismo de la acción política. Es el momento plebeyo, que siempre estalla como desborde estatal, aunque paradójicamente necesita instituirse temporalmente en el Estado, para consolidarse y universalizarse. Según García Linera, lo nacional-popular solo surge en momentos de crisis de régimen de dominación y régimen de acumulación. Durante este interregno, se produce lo que denomina “debilitamiento del horizonte predictivo”, al tiempo que se activa la “disponibilidad colectiva a revocar creencias”.
The Relationship of Cortisol Levels and Sleep Quality in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients: A Literature Review
Authors:   Department of Neurology, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Padjadjaran/ Dr. Hasan Sadikin General, Amalia Lisda
Published: September 2024

Hormonal factors are one of several elements that contribute to the process by which patients with acute ischemic stroke experience poor sleep quality. The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is responsible for producing the hormone cortisol. When the hypothalamus is activated, it releases vasopressin and Corticotropin Releasing Hormone (CRH), both of which influence Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH). This hormone triggers release of cortisol and other glucocorticoids by the adrenal glands. The HPA axis becomes engaged during an acute disease. Cortisol levels will rise as a result of HPA axis activation. Specifically, injury to the frontal or medial temporal lobes of the brain, as well as inflammation, or a lack of regulation of the HPA axis, can lead to this medical condition. Cortisol levels might remain elevated for up to seven days following the start of a stroke. An increase in cortisol levels is connected to an highly risk of stroke severity, length of hospital stay, and mortality in stroke patients. It is also an early warning sign of deteriorating sleep quality in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

The most prevalent primary cavernous sinus (CS) lesion is cavernous sinus meningioma (CSM). Of all intracranial neoplasms, 1% are tumors in CS, and 41% are CSM. For contemporary neurosurgeons, orbital involvement in cavernous sinus meningiomas (CSMs) poses special difficulties. The condition is known as cavernous sinus meningioma (CSM) gradually impairs vision and may ultimately result in chiastic compression. Since January 2023, a male 55-year-old had been admitted to the hospital with cephalgia and mild diplopia in his right eye. Cavernous meningiomas were discovered using CT scans, and a craniotomy procedure was scheduled to remove the tumor. In order to facilitate intubation, the patient was given a premedication of sufentanyl for analgesia and was then given general anesthesia. Rocuronium was used to relax the muscles. Desflurane is an attractive option available to anesthesiologists to maintain general anaesthesia. This surgical procedure of removing intracranial tumours requires proper induction and monitoring of the patient's condition during surgery to prevent increased intracranial pressure. Intracranial elevation can cause systemic changes such as hypertension and changes in heart rhythm, as well as cerebral artery spasm, and lead to cerebral infarction and cerebral ischemia. An effective neuroanesthesia management program can help preserve hemodynamic stability and improve results during craniotomy surgery for the removal of meningiomas
Government officials first, then opposition: The spreaders of political and religious conspiracy theories during Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia
Authors: Yunanto Sri , Damayanti Angel
Published: September 2024

Conspiracy theories during Covid-19 pandemic spread worldwide, including in Indonesia. What political and religious factors explain their spread in Indonesia with particular reference to the DKI Jakarta province, its surrounding municipalities, and West Sumatera province? This study aimed to answer the questions. It employed a qualitative approach with multi-data collection methods, including those from media, documents, and interviews. The spread of Conspiracy theories benefited from the democratic system that promotes the freedom of information in using social media. First, the government officials initially spread conspiracy theories to satisfy people’s anxiety about the obscured Pandemic. However, they resulted in the government’s ambiguous, controversial, and reckless policies leading to people’s distrust of the government. Jokowi-Makruf Amien, political opponents capitalized on the government’s poor policies to spread conspiracy theories which partly discredited the Jokowi-Amien administration. Both government officials and the opposition capitalized on politics and religious teaching or supra-natural pretexts to posit their conspiracy theories.
The Analysis of the Effect of Mischmetal Addition on the Formation of Non-Metallic Inclusions in Liquid Steel
Authors: Kalisz D. , Sobula S. , Hutny A. , Gerasin S.
Published: September 2024

The study focuses on the effect of rare earth elements (REM) in mischmetal on the morphology and chemical composition of non-metallic inclusions in pre-oxidised steel. Calculations were carried out using the WYK_STAL computer program according to two calculation models, considering/ignoring the sulphur partition coefficient at the liquid steel-liquid slag interfacial boundary. It was found that the chemical composition of the resulting precipitates is a consequence of the order in which deoxidising additives were admixed. Simulations confirmed the presence of Ce oxides and sulphides. This was also confirmed by the analysis of samples taken from the steel ingot after laboratory melting. Non-metallic inclusions Ce2O3 and CeS, and the complex of precipitates: La2O3-Ce2O3 was also identified in the steel. Introduction of mischmetal in the final stage refining is the most effective method. Therefore, the oxygen content is reduced below 0.001%, and the sulphfur content can be reduced to 0.004%.
Voluntary head dunking after exercise-induced hyperthermia rapidly reduces core body temperature in dogs

Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate field-applicable cooling methods for treatment of exercise-induced hyperthermia in dogs.

METHODS

In this randomized, crossover study from June 27, 2023, to July 24, 2023, 12 working dogs exercised for 10 minutes until core body temperature reached 40.6 °C or above or ≥ 2 signs of heat stress were observed. Four different cooling protocols were evaluated: (1) neck chemical ice packs (2), (2) a wet (22 °C) neck towel, (3) wet (22 °C) axillae towels, or (4) voluntary head immersion (“dunking”) into (22 °C) water. After intervention, dogs rested and were monitored for 40 minutes.

RESULTS

The dunking protocol, which included limited water ingestion, produced the lowest mean core temperature in the initial 5 minutes after exercise, in the subsequent 35 minutes during which dogs cooled to baseline temperature and was the only protocol to prevent the initial postexercise temperature rise. All methods resulted in return to baseline temperature.

CONCLUSIONS

Trained voluntary head dunk with limited water ingestion results in rapid cooling in field situations of exercise-induced hyperthermia in dogs with normal mental status and ability to pause panting.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

“Cool first, transport second” reduces morbidity and mortality of acute heat injury. When whole-body water immersion is not an option, the trained voluntary head dunk in mentally appropriate dogs prevents postexercise rise and rapidly reduces core body temperature within the first 5 minutes. Alternatively, allowing the dog to drink controlled amounts of cool water and pouring water on the dog’s head may provide some benefit but warrants further study.
Fractional SAQ alcohol model: stability analysis and Türkiye application
Authors: Öztürk Zafer , Bilgil Halis , Sorgun Sezer
Published: September 2024

Alcohol dependence and alcohol abuse are the public health problems. According to World Health Organization data, approximately two billion people in the world consume alcoholic beverages and approximately 77 million people have alcohol use disorder. Epidemiologic studies show that the rate of alcohol dependence varies by region. Fractional derivative models are preferred over integer step models in the control theory of physical, biological, and dynamical systems. Fractional operators are particularly useful in describing the memory and hereditary properties of substances and processes, which are often ignored in integer stepwise derivatives. In this study, we consider a fractional model of alcohol use and analyze its stability. This model is consisted of three compartments: those who do not use alcohol yet but may use alcohol in the future (S), those who use alcohol (A) and those who quit alcohol for good (Q). The fractional derivative is used in the Caputo sense. Mathematical analysis of the fractional SAQ model for the mathematical model of alcohol use is performed and numerical results are obtained with the help of the Euler method and graphs are drawn.
Zainteresowanie tematami społeczno-politycznymi wśród młodzieży cudzoziemskiej n zajęciach z języka polskiego jako obcego

Liczba cudzoziemców w Polsce rośnie – w tym ludzi młodych, którzy podejmują naukę języka polskiego w ramach kursu językowego przed rozpoczęciem studiów bądź w ramach samych zajęć akademickich. Niniejszy artykuł podejmuje kwestię zainteresowania uczących się języka polskiego jako obcego na poziomach B2 i C1 kwestiami społeczno-politycznymi proponowanymi w Programach nauczania języka polskiego jako obcego. Poziomy A1-C2. Analiza zaangażowania studentów w dyskusje na poszczególne tematy daje wgląd w ich w to, które elementy posługiwania się polszczyzną są dla nich ważne jako dla młodzieży planującej dłuższy pobyt w Polsce.
            Na podstawie zebranych danych można wysnuć wniosek, że najważniejsze i najbardziej angażujące dla młodzieży cudzoziemskiej są zagadnienia o charakterze praktycznym: związane z pracą i edukacją oraz współczesnością, zwłaszcza Internetem. Wątki kulturowe i polityczne zdają się budzić niewielkie zaangażowanie bądź są uczącym się obojętne. Niemal żaden punkt w ocenie respondentów nie budzi odczuć negatywnych – interesuje ich cała polszczyzna, niemniej jednak jako niezależni użytkownicy języka i osoby u progu dorosłości zdają oni sobie sprawę z konieczności posiadania rozbudowanej kompetencji komunikacyjnej w tematach praktycznych.

Çalışma, 18 haftalık yaştaki toplam 54 adet dişi bıldırcın ile 6 tekerrürden oluşan 3 muamele grubunda yürütülmüş olup her tekerrüre 3 adet bıldırcın yerleştirilmiştir. Muameleler bazal rasyona 0, 5 veya 10 g/kg seviyelerinde kapya biber tozu ilavesiyle oluşturulmuştur. Bıldırcınlar muamele rasyonları ile 8 hafta boyunca serbest olarak yemlenmişlerdir. Canlı ağırlık, yumurta verimi, yemden yararlanma oranı, sarı indeksi, ak indeksi ve Haugh birimi karma yeme kapya biberi tozu ilavesinden etkilenmemiştir. Karma yeme kapya biber tozu ilavesi ile yumurta ağırlığı ve kitlesi ile yem tüketimi ve yumurta sarısı a* değeri artmış, ancak yumurta kabuk oranı azalmıştır. Karma yeme 10 g/kg seviyesinde kapya biber ilavesiyle kabuk kalınlığı ile yumurta sarısı L* ve b* değeri azalmıştır. Bu sonuçlara göre yumurtlayan bıldırcın karma yemlerine kapya biberi tozu ilavesi performansı ve yumurta sarısı a* değerini olumlu etkilerken, kabuk kalitesini olumsuz etkilemiştir.

Anıt ağaçlar, korunması gereken doğal miraslardır. Fiziksel ve sosyo-kültürel özellikleri ile sıradan ağaçlardan ayrılırlar. Bir ağacın yüksekliği, taç çapı, gövde çapı ve yaş ölçümleri, ilginç kök ve gövde oluşumları, dağılım alanının aşırı sınırlarda bulunması ve yörede ağaca atfedilen hikayeler, tarihte özel bir yerinin bulunması o ağacı olağanüstü yapan özelliklerdir. Doğanın mirası olarak adlandırılan bu ağaçlar, bilimsel çalışmalarda kullanılabilir, insanların çevre bilincini arttırabilir ve ekoturizm faaliyetlerine katkı sağlayabilir. Bu nedenle anıt ağaçların belgelenmesi ve korunması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada Ordu İli sınırları içerisinde tescillenmiş 49 adet anıt ağaç, bulundukları çevre ile birlikte değerlendirilmektedir. Çalışmada kullanılan verilere Sit Alanlar Yönetim Sistemi (SAYS)ve 2022 yılı Çevre Durumu Raporundan ulaşılmıştır. Tescillenmiş anıt ağaçların nitelik ve nicelik bilgileri ile elde edilen bulgular, bulundukları konum ve güzergâh bilgileri ve ekoturizme katkı sağlayan diğer kaynak değerleri hakkında bilgi verilmiştir. Güzergahlar ve diğer doğal kaynakların birbirleri ile uzaklıkları dikkate alınarak Coğrafi Bilgi Sistemleri (CBS) ortamında rota oluşturulmuştur. Yapılan çalışma mevcut anıt ağaçların korunması ve tanıtılmasına katkı sağlamayı hedeflemektedir. Ayrıca, anıt ağaçlar hakkında bilinç oluşturmayı amaçlamaktadır.

Dukuh Atas sebagai kawasan TOD dirancang sebagai kawasan pertukaran yang terletak di kawasan strategis Segitiga Emas Jakarta, baik domestik maupun internasional. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi orientasi dan pesebaran di kawasan Dukuh Atas sebagai salah satu dari delapan stasiun MRT yang akan dikembangkan sebagai kawasan TOD DKI Jakarta. Variabel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini terdiri dari kombinasi parameter ITDP (2017) yang disesuaikan dengan Permen ATR/BPN no. 16 Tahun 2017. Hasil survei menunjukkan bahwa peternakan di kawasan Dukuh Atas masih tergolong kawasan TAD bukan kawasan TAD. Hal ini ditunjukkan dengan adanya jaringan pejalan kaki, jaringan transportasi dan kawasan yang sudah memiliki 5 campuran lahan yang berbeda, namun tidak ada yang terhubung. Properti ini menunjukkan bahwa komponen "transit" dan "pembangunan" tidak terintegrasi dan kawasan tidak terhubung.
Construcciones Culturales de Raza y Cristal

Reflexiono sobre mi experiencia con la discriminación silente hacia nuestras comunidades, abogando por la solidaridad entre ellas. Además, exploro la herencia del trauma colonial y cómo este se manifiesta en la desigualdad actual. En la lucha contra un sistema opresivo, señalo que la guerra no solo es contra fuerzas externas, sino también entre individuos que perpetúan la desigualdad. Destaco la existencia de privilegios que limitan el acceso a oportunidades básicas, convirtiendo derechos en exclusividades para algunes. El texto critica la estructura económica donde las grandes fortunas se mantienen protegidas, sin ceder a la equidad. La dificultad de escapar de un techo invisible que mantiene a ciertos grupos subyugados, creando una sociedad de pecera donde las oportunidades de crecimiento, limitadas. Abordo la idea de que una mejora materia materiall, no garantiza un avance espiritual ni la curación de las heridas ancestrales. Advierto sobre la pérdida de motivación para luchar colectivamente al integrarme en un sistema que ignora otras formas de resistencia. En el apartado sobre la colonia, exploro cómo la herida colonial sigue afectando la percepción colectiva, marcando una geografía racial que limita la autonomía. Desarrollo la idea de la ciencia moderna que categorizó a ciertos grupos como no humanos y cómo la lucha por ser reconocidos se convierte en una batalla contra la ignorancia y la explotación. Concluyo destacando los problemas sistémicos en el Caribe, la corrupción política y el discrimen, como reflejos de una realidad atrapada. La sombra del poder se manifiesta en la violencia policiaca y la exclusión a través de las leyes. En resumen, abordo la importancia de la solidaridad entre comunidades marginadas, cuestionando los privilegios y explorando las raíces del trauma colonial que persisten en la sociedad actual.
Overcoming the Crystallization of Despair

Racism and xenophobic discrimination in the Dominican Republic, especially state policies against black people of Haitian origin, oppress a community with a long history of exploitation and resistance in the country every day. This oppression affects, in multiple ways, the life and health of those who engage in social activism and the defense of human rights, and who do so under constant threat of repression and even death, in a context where far right organizations frequently work in coordination with authorities to block protest and public action. Although racism is institutionalized and structural in nature, state authorities advance negationist discourses, minimizing or denying grave historical facts such as the massacre of 1937, the racist campaign against the late politician José Francisco Peña Gómez, the law 168-13 that retroactively removed the nationality of more than four generations of person of Haitian origin. The combination of a struggle that is increasingly better endowed with theoretical tools and politics to change this reality of racist oppression and the realization of studies on the wear and tear that racism imposes on our health, enable us to deepen perspectives of liberation for new generations of activists.
