Published: December 2021

The year of COVID-19, 2020, brought unique experiences to everyone in their daily as well as their professional life. Facing many challenges of division in all aspects (social distancing, political and social divisions, remote work environments), University of South Florida Libraries took the lead in exploring how to overcome these various separations by providing access to its high-quality information sources to its local community and beyond. This paper shares the insights of using Linked Data technology to provide easy access to digital cultural heritage collections not only for the scholarly communities but also for those underrepresented user groups. The authors present the challenges at this special time of the history, discuss the possible solutions, and propose future work to further the effort.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Statements on Academic Library Websites
Authors: Ely Eric
Published: December 2021

Post-secondary education in the 21st century United States is rapidly diversifying, and institutions’ online offerings and presence are increasingly significant. Academic libraries have an established history of offering virtual services and providing online resources for students, faculty, staff, and the general public. In addition to these services and resources, information on academic library websites can contribute to an institution’s demonstration of value placed on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). This article analyzes the DEI statements of a library consortium’s member websites to explore how these statements contribute to institutional construction of, and commitment to, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Descriptive analysis revealed 12 of 16 member libraries had explicitly labeled DEI statements in November 2020, with an additional member updating their website to include such a statement in early 2021. Content analysis examined how the existing statements contributed to institutional value of and commitment to DEI, and multi-modal theory explored the communicative aspects of DEI statement content. Analysis revealed vague conceptualizations of diversity and library-centered language in DEI statements, while a subset of statements employed anti-racist and social justice language to position the library as an active agent for social change. Implications and avenues for future research are discussed.

Published: December 2021

Over the past few years, better understanding of the explicit pathomechanism of alopecia areata provides new treatment opportunities for effective therapy of the disease, which may revolutionize therapeutic strategies. This exceedingly heterogeneous disease with unpredictable outcome, severely affects the quality of life. Currently, there are no standardized treatment protocols approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), resulting a challenge for the therapists in the choice of treatment.In this paper, the authors summarize recent and emerging therapies for severe cases of alopecia areata.
Urnas de tradición indígena in Corduba - Colonia Patricia. Una propuesta actualizada para el ámbito funerario
Authors: Ruiz Osuna Ana B. , Rubio Valverde Manuel
Published: December 2021

Las urnas de tradición indígena configuran uno de los conjuntos cerámicos más interesantes de la Península Ibérica, tanto por sus orígenes como por su continuidad en época romana. Uno de los usos más significativos fue el de contenedor de restos óseos procedentes de las cremaciones, aunque también acogieron inhumaciones infantiles. Los recientes hallazgos que se han producido en diversas excavaciones en la ciudad de Córdoba nos permiten retomar cuestiones ya planteadas sobre tipología, usos, rituales y etnicidad en las necrópolis de Corduba – Colonia Patricia.
Estudio antropológico de las alquerías de Benizahat y Zeneta (Vall d´Uixó, Castellón). Una ventana a la vida rural andalusí
Authors: Olivé-Busom Júlia , López-Costas Olalla , Márquez-Grant Nicholas , Kirchner Helena
Published: December 2021

En época andalusí, la Vall d’Uixó (Castellón, España) se conformaba por una serie de alquerías que estuvieron habitadas por población islámica hasta el s. XVI. A través del análisis antropológico de 99 esqueletos procedentes de dos de estas alquerías, Benizahat y Zeneta, el presente estudio explora la posible existencia de diferencias en el estilo de vida de hombres y mujeres y un posible estrés ocupacional relacionado con la economía rural en esta población. También evalúa sus condiciones de vida y niveles de estrés durante el crecimiento respecto otras poblaciones islámicas peninsulares. Aunque la población estudiada no se distingue claramente de otras poblaciones andalusíes a nivel de estrés fisiológico y ocupacional, destacan las diferencias significativas entre la población masculina y femenina en la presencia de nódulos de Schmörl y las elevadas frecuencias de caries dentales en el conjunto de la población.

Authors: Cámara Manzaneda Javier , Clop García Xavier , García Rosselló Jaume , Pons i Brun Enriqueta
Published: December 2021

En este trabajo se presentan los resultados sobre los procesos de modelado identificados en un conjunto de vasos cinerarios y platos-tapadera procedentes de la necrópolis de incineración de El Pi de la Lliura (Girona, España, c. 1017-739 cal ANE). El reconocimiento de las trazas de fabricación ha permitido documentar dos secuencias de modelado de cerámicas y analizar varias cuestiones vinculadas con la relación entre los procesos de modelado y el tipo de recipientes (urnas, platos-tapadera y una pátera), la extensión temporal de las técnicas de modelado identificadas y si había o no una relación entre estas ‘formas de hacer’ y la edad de los individuos incinerados. Estos resultados permiten ampliar el conocimiento sobre las prácticas técnicas de la comunidad o comunidades que utilizaron esta necrópolis para enterrar a sus muertos y sobre el papel de los productos cerámicos en el ámbito las prácticas funerarias desarrolladas por esas comunidades.

ULOGA STRIPOVA U RAZVOJU DJECE
Authors: Đukić Nemanja
Published: December 2021

U istraživanju koje slijedi sociološki analiziramo popularni strip Alan Ford, nastojeći ukazati na njegov opšti društveni značaj. Ovaj strip predstavlja jedan od najznačajnijih kulturnih fenomena na prostoru bivše Jugoslavije koji je već od 70- ih godina 20. vijeka izvršio značajan uticaj ne samo na razvoj strip subkulture u bivšoj SFRJ nego i na formiranje sistema vrijednosti tadašnje omladine, organizovanje njihovog slobodnog vremena i njihovo neformalno obrazovanje, zbog čega se on opravdano može smatrati temeljnim obilježjem novih generacija mladih i njihovog načina odrastanja. U tom smislu, predmet našeg istraživanja predstavlja empirijska analiza uticaja stripa Alan Ford na socijalizaciju omladine i djece u bivšoj SFRJ.
INKLUZIVNO OBRAZOVANJE I SOCIJALIZACIJA DJECE
Authors: Prorok Milijana
Published: December 2021

Inkluzija kao pristup koji se temelji na principima poštivanja ljudskih prava pojedinca odnosi se na proces povećanja učestvovanja ljudi i djece sa posebnim potrebama u lokalnim zajednicama, školama i drugim javnim ustanovama. Takođe, inkluzivno obrazovanje je samo jedan aspekt inkluzije. Inkluzivna praksa obrazovanja djece sa posebnim potrebama se posljednih godina značajno proširila, međutim još uvijek postoje značajna ograničenja u provođenju takvog obrazovanja. Inkluzija u obrazovanju je sastavni dio jedinstvenog društvenog pokreta, koji je u drugoj polovini dvadesetog vijeka nastao u zemljama zapadne demokratije. Predškolska ustanova treba da pruži mogućnost za razvojne kompetencije, kako djece tipičnog razvoja, tako i djece kojima je neophodna dodatna pomoć i podrška u razvoju. Boljem razumijevanju problematike i stručnom radu vaspitača doprinose njegovi pozitivni stavovi prema inkluzivnom radu, motivacija za rad, osobine njegove ličnosti, kao i njegova potreba za permanentnim razvojem i usavršavanjem različitih vidova kompetentnosti, socijalno – emocionalne, kognitivne i dr. Kvalitet ranog odgoja i socijalizacija djece je važno pedagoško i sociološko pitanje, posebno kada su u odgojne grupe uključena djeca s teškoćama u razvoju. Za unapređenje inkluzivne prakse u predškolskim ustanovama neophodni su materijalni resursi i stručna osposobljenost vaspitača kroz usavršavanje i saradnju sa stručnim saradnicima. Tim prvim korakom u inkluzivnom odgoju i obrazovanju vaspitačima se osiguravaju sredstava, znanja i vještine za kvalitetan rad s djecom sa posebnim potrebama.
ASPEKTI ZDRAVOG ŽIVOTA STUDENATA SVEUČILIŠTA U SPLITU: SOCIOLOŠKO ISTRAŽIVANJE
Authors: Bandalović Gorana , Šuljug Vučica Zorana , Buljan Marija
Published: December 2021

Zdrave životne navike stječu se rano, u djetinjstvu i ranoj mladosti, a u današnje vrijeme njihova se važnost sve više ističe. Studentski život je, što se toga tiče, kritično razdoblje za mlade koji zbog pritiska fakultetskih obveza ponekad zanemaruju posvetiti se zdravom životu. Upravo zbog toga cilj ovoga rada bio je ispitati percepcije i iskustva zdravog života studenata i studentica Sveučilišta u Splitu. U radu se prezentiraju rezultati istraživanja provedenog tijekom lipnja i srpnja 2019. godine, metodom polustrukturiranog intervjua na prigodnom uzorku od dvadeset sugovornika/-ca koji su u vrijeme provođenja intervjua bili fizički aktivni odnosno aktivno ili rekreativno su se bavili sportom ili nekom drugom tjelesnom aktivnosti. Ispitana su njihova mišljenja o važnosti vođenja zdravog načina života, informiranosti o zdravim životnim navikama, utjecaju medija i društvenih mreža na aspekte zdravog života itd. Dobiveni rezultati pokazuju kako većina sugovornika, osim što su redovito fizički aktivni, također pazi na svoju prehranu. Upravo ta dva segmenta svi sugovornici naglašavaju pri svojoj definiciji zdravog života, te ističu kako se trude održavati zdrave životne navike. Fizička aktivnost na njih djeluje pozitivno, opušta ih te im pomaže u nošenju sa stresom. Gotovo su svi zadovoljni svojom informiranošću o zdravim životnim navikama. Polovica njih smatra da bi obrazovne institucije (fakulteti) trebale poticati zdrav život studenata, a isto toliko ih želi promijeniti nešto kod sebe u vidu poboljšanja zdravijeg načina života. Većina ih ne prati nijedan medijski sadržaj koji se tiče zdravog života te su podijeljenih stavova o utjecaju medija na zdrave životne navike mladih ljudi.
OSOBNE I KONTEKSTUALNE ODREDNICE OSNAŽIVANJA I KVALITETE ŽIVOTA U OBITELJI IZ PERSPEKTIVE MLADIH
Authors: Zloković Jasminka
Published: December 2021

Obitelj kao temeljna društvena zajednica zahtijeva razmatranje različitih aspekta etiologije obitelji i obiteljskih odnosa, uloge obitelji u životu djeteta, primjenu različitih istraživačkih pristupa i teorijskih polazišta. Uvažavajući činjenicu pluralizma obitelji, različitost izazova i specifičnosti potreba svake obitelji u sklopu znanstvenog projekta «Osnaživanje obitelji za razvoj pozitivnih odnosa i obiteljskog zajedništva» ispituju se načini i prediktori uspostavljanja obiteljskog zajedništva, fleksibilnosti, obiteljske interakcije, strategije međusobne podrške kao i neke druge dimenzije obiteljskih odnosa bitne za osnaživanje i podizanje kvalitete života svih članova obitelji. Istraživanje se provodi na nezavisnim probabilističkim uzorcima (roditelji, djeca, adolescenti, stariji članovi). U radu prikazuje se analiza forum rasprave koju smo provodili tijekom tri akademske godine (2018-2021.) s redovitim studentima studija pedagogije (N=90) Filozofskog fakulteta u Rijeci na glavnu temu Promicanje pozitivnih odnosa u obitelji. Ispitanici prema nekim definicijama spadaju u skupinu starijih adolescenata (18-25). Svrha pokrenute forum rasprave je bila identificiranje nekih odrednica i načina komuniciranja, te problema u obiteljskim odnosima roditelja i adolescenata kao pretpostavka pristupanju osnovnim prevencijskim razinama s ciljem poticanja i razvijanja pozitivne komunikacije i poželjnih socijalnih vještina u međusobnim odnosima u obitelji posebice između roditelja i adolescenata. Analiza rasprave ukazuje na različitost fokusa pri detektiranju ključnih odrednica u uspostavljanju pozitivnih odnosa u obitelji, zajedništva, načina rješavanja konflikata i suočavanja sa stresorima kao i na intenciju djece i adolescenata ka preuzimanju uloge vodstva unutar obitelji. Rezultati predstavljaju doprinos pedagoškoj znanosti u izučavanju i promišljanju o značaju pozitivnog obiteljskog ozračja, mogućnostima njihova osnaživanja i samim time značaju u prevenciji neželjenih odnosa i suočavanja s obiteljskim stresorima.

Published: December 2021

Computer science education (CSEd) research within K-12 makes extensive use of empirical studies in which children participate. Insight in the demographics of these children is important for the purpose of understanding the representativeness of the populations included. This literature review studies the demographics of subjects included in K-12 CSEd studies. We have manually inspected the proceedings of three of the main international CSEd conferences: SIGCSE, ITiCSE and ICER, of five years (2014–2018), and selected all papers pertaining to K-12 CSEd experiments. This led to a sample of 134 papers describing 143 studies. We manually read these papers to determine the demographic information that was reported on, investigating the following categories: age/grade, gender, race/ethnic background, location, prior computer science experience, socio-economic status (SES), and disability. Our findings show that children from the United States, boys and children without computer science experience are included most frequently. Race and SES are frequently not reported on, and for race as well as for disabilities there appears a tendency to report these categories only when they deviate from the majority. Further, for several demographic categories different criteria are used to determine them. Finally, most studies take place within schools. These insights can be valuable to correctly interpret current knowledge from K-12 CSEd research, and furthermore can be helpful in developing standards for consistent collection and reporting of demographic information in this community.

The final letter is from Lord Hailes to the Earl of Buchan arguing why he believes the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland will not be successful.
Suggestions for the removal of St Margaret's Well, near Restalrig, in the vicinity of Edinburgh, to a more favourable site
Authors: Laing David
Published: December 2021

The author suggests that St Margaret's Well could be moved to a new location in Holyrood Park to better preserve the structure. It is noted that in its current location the well has been damaged by the North British Railway that runs nearby and that some of the associated machinery that operates close to the structure is likely to destroy the well. A committee of Fellows agreed that the well should be moved and appealed to the Chief Commissioner for Works and Public Buildings, who proposed a potential site for relocation in Holyrood Park.

Beta Contábil Versus Beta CAPM: Uma Investigação Empírica no Mercado Financeiro Brasileiro
Authors: Rodrigues Raimundo Nonato , Libonati Jeronymo José , Silva Felipe Dantas Cassimiro da , Pereira Dimmitre Morant Vieira Gonçalves
Published: December 2021

Uma das questões, atualmente discutidas na Moderna Teoria de Finanças diz respeito à avaliação do risco e do retorno no processo de decisão de investimento. Levando-se em conta as premissas desta Teoria, um dos parâmetros de avaliação do risco é através do “beta” extraído do modelo CAPM. No entanto, o desenvolvimento teórico deste modelo está totalmente embasado em uma dinâmica de mercado acionário forte, o que dificulta a sua plena aplicação em mercados com predominância de empresas com Capital Fechado, como o brasileiro. Por outro lado, vem desenvolvendo-se alternativas, na literatura, para esta problemática, e uma delas é o que se convencionou chamar de Beta Contábil, devido a utilização da informação contábil para sua concepção. Diante deste contexto, o artigo em tela teve por objetivo verificar a hipótese da utilização do Beta Contábil em substituição do Beta CAPM para empresas de capital fechado. Para tanto, foi utilizado um estudo empírico, através de prova não-paramétrica Mann-Whitney U, em ações de empresas do setor siderúrgico e metalúrgico extraídos do Banco de Dados da Consultoria Economática, no período de 2001 a 2005. Concluiu-se, por fim, através dos resultados obtidos, que o Beta Contábil substitui significativamente, o Beta CAPM, para a amostra selecionada.

Authors: Bruni Adriano Leal , Coroa Utilan da Silva Ramos , Paixão Roberto Brazileiro , Carvalho Júnior César Valentim de Oliveira
Published: December 2021

A administração de carteiras de ativos financeiros vem procurando apresentar mecanismos para a obtenção de uma relação ótima entre retorno e risco. Inúmeros estudos vêm contribuindo de forma significante para a eficiência e prática destas técnicas. Este trabalho objetivou analisar a possibilidade de se obter desempenhos superiores nas estratégias de investimentos mediante a utilização do modelo de Elton-Gruber, no Brasil, no período de janeiro de 2000 a setembro de 2006, considerando-se a formação de preços informacionalmente eficiente. Para avaliar o mercado informacional de preços analisou-se inicialmente se os retornos das ações selecionadas seguiam rumo aleatório. Foi aplicado o Teste de Corridas (runs test) e o teste de Durbin-Watson. Este trabalho conclui que, a aplicação deste método, devido às suas características, pode proporcionar retornos maiores que aplicações no Ibovespa, com menores riscos, considerando-se o mercado informacional eficiente na forma fraca.

Detectou-se uma evolução nos métodos estatísticos utilizados nos últimos anos, onde os mais recorrentes foram à análise multivariada dos dados (18%), inferências estatísticas (15%), regressão e correlação (10%). A evolução da utilização de ferramentas estatísticas nas dissertações confeccionadas no programa de pós-graduação em ciências contábeis nos últimos anos tem como intuito o incentivo as pesquisas quantitativas, pois os métodos estatísticos ajudam no desenvolvimento das pesquisas realizadas e contribuem para a interpretação dos fenômenos sociais investigados a fim de proporcionar uma evolução científica.
Modelo de Basu: Especificação Diferente, Mesmo Resultado.
Authors: Antunes Gustavo , Medeiros Otávio Ribeiro de
Published: December 2021

O presente trabalho testa uma especificação alternativa para o modelo de conservadorismo contábil elaborado por Basu (1997). O modelo original, amplamente difundido na literatura, busca captar a antecipação conservadora de despesas por meio da relação entre as más notícias percebidas pelo mercado acionário e aquelas divulgadas pela contabilidade. Para tanto, utiliza o Retorno Simples (RS) negativo das ações como proxy para as más notícias de mercado e testa sua relação com o resultado contábil. Considerando que um RS positivo inferior ao retorno considerado normal também pode significar má notícia, o presente trabalho substituiu o RS pelo Retorno Anormal. Essa especificação alternativa foi testada a partir de 2.278 observações anuais de empresas brasileiras e 11.274 de empresas norte-americanas, coletadas no Economática© e analisadas para o período de 1996 a 2007. Os resultados revelaram que a aderência dos dados (R2) e o coeficiente de conservadorismo (3) gerados pelo modelo original de Basu (1997) e por sua versão alternativa foram semelhantes. Assim, este trabalho contribui com a literatura no sentido de mostrar que outra especificação do modelo é possível e que ela gera resultados semelhantes.

Authors: Paton Claudecir , Domingues Maria José Carvalho de Souza , Rausch Rita Buzzi
Published: December 2021

O desenvolvimento do ensino e aprendizagem na modalidade a distância representa um dos mais importantes desafios para a educação na atualidade, pois se trata de um espaço relativamente novo de ensinar e aprender que enseja o uso de novas tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TICs), exigindo competências diferenciadas aos docentes de habilidade técnica e facilitação. Assim, a presente pesquisa objetiva verificar quais as competências profissionais no domínio do ensino e aprendizagem na modalidade a distância, o docente deve possuir, justificando-se no aspecto de que os docentes por meio de competências técnicas mínimas necessárias devem facilitar a atitude do ensino e aprendizagem na formação dos alunos que buscam o conhecimento nesta modalidade. Por meio da aplicação de um questionário eletrônico, “Google docs”, sobre competências adaptado de Kemshal-Bell (2001), foi aplicado em 17 docentes de um curso de graduação de Ciências Contábeis da modalidade de Educação à Distância – EAD de um Universidade reconhecida na sua atuação em EAD, com obtenção de 10 respondentes que apontaram que os docentes devem possuir competências profissionais no domínio do ensino e aprendizagem em cursos na modalidade a distância necessárias na facilitação da atitude do ensino e aprendizagem na formação dos alunos.

A pesquisa científica traz para o aluno de graduação novas habilidades, como pensar de forma lógica e analítica, levando-o a vários benefícios e lições tanto para vida acadêmica quanto pessoal. Assim, este estudo tem por objetivo analisar a experiência da atividade de Iniciação Científica (IC) com os alunos de graduação em Ciências Contábeis da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. A amostra deste estudo é composta pelos alunos que cursaram a disciplina de Técnicas de Pesquisa em Contabilidade em 2010.1, 2010.2 e 2011.1. A pesquisa se caracteriza como descritiva e os dados foram coletados por meio de um questionário com os referidos acadêmicos. A abordagem é de forma qualitativa, pois visa descrever e analisar os dados. Com isso, os resultados demonstram que: (i) as percepções dos alunos perante a disciplina foi positiva, pois a maior expectativa, realização de projeto de TCC (67%), é um dos focos da disciplina e eles consideram importante a realização de um artigo científico durante a graduação (94%); (ii) a média da satisfação com a disciplina é de 8,64, em uma escala de 0 a 10, e a nota 10 aparece como a de maior ocorrência, evidenciando assim que os alunos saíram satisfeitos ao término da disciplina; (iii) com relação às publicações, 67% publicaram os artigos elaborados na disciplina, sendo 81% publicações provisórias. Assim, conclui-se que os alunos consideraram a disciplina como de grande relevância e extraíram várias lições do ensino da pesquisa científica para a vida acadêmica, pessoal e profissional.

Esta pesquisa teve como principal objetivo verificar as percepções dos discentes de universidades no Brasil e em Portugal perante o processo de convergência da contabilidade aos padrões internacionais. Para tanto, a pesquisa se deu na forma de aplicação de questionários estruturados aos discentes de Instituições de Ensino Superior do Brasil e de Portugal. O estudo é baseado em uma amostra de 159 respondentes, sendo 112 estudantes brasileiros e 47 estudantes de Portugal. Os dados foram tratados por meio da analise descritiva dos dados, com auxílio do software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences – SPSS®, renomeado para Predictive Analytics Software (PASW). O estudo concluiu que 92% dos brasileiros e 72,4% dos portugueses afirmaram concordar que o processo de convergência das normas brasileiras de contabilidade às normas internacionais é bem vindo, pois traz mais benefícios do que custos às empresas. Os resultados revelaram também que 84,9% dos discentes do Brasil e 57,4% dos discentes de Portugal afirmaram que não acreditam na capacitação dos profissionais de contabilidade para as mudanças decorrentes da adoção das normas do IASB, demonstrando que os mesmos percebem que os contabilistas estão despreparados para colocar em prática as mudanças.

The interaction between DNA methylation of tripartite motif containing 27 (cg05293407TRIM27) and smoking has previously been identified to reveal histologically heterogeneous effects ofTRIM27DNA methylation on early‐stage non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC) survival. However, to understand the complex mechanisms underlying NSCLC progression, we searched three‐way interactions. A two‐phase study was adopted to identify three‐way interactions in the form of pack‐year of smoking (number of cigarettes smoked per day × number of years smoked) × cg05293407TRIM27 × epigenome‐wide DNA methylation CpG probe. Two CpG probes were identified with FDR‐q ≤ 0.05 in the discovery phase andP ≤ 0.05 in the validation phase: cg00060500KIAA0226and cg17479956EXT2. Compared to a prediction model with only clinical information, the model added 42 significant three‐way interactions using a looser criterion (discovery: FDR‐q ≤ 0.10, validation:P ≤ 0.05) had substantially improved the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of the prognostic prediction model for both 3‐year and 5‐year survival. Our research identified the complex interaction effects among multiple environment and epigenetic factors, and provided therapeutic target for NSCLC patients.
Ethnoecology
Authors: Stepp John Richard
Published: December 2021

Ethnoecology is an interdisciplinary field that bridges approaches in the social and biological sciences to examine how humans use, know, experience, and interact with plants, animals, fungi, and other life forms, along with abiotic environments. It primarily grew out of the field of ethnobiology, and both have been heavily influenced by the field of ethnoscience that sought to understand the native/insider/emic perspective. While it may appear at first glance that there is considerable overlap between ethnoecology and related disciplines such as environmental anthropology and environmental sociology, the field is distinguished by its own literature and myriad disciplines that form its core body of knowledge. In its broadest and most comprehensive sense, ethnoecology implies a systematic attempt at understanding, cataloging, and/or describing local and/or traditional ecological knowledge as well as ontology.
Urban Anthropology: Brazil
Authors: Steil Carlos Alberto , Toniol Rodrigo
Published: December 2021

Urban anthropology in Brazil emerged only during the 1970s, with the beginning of graduate studies at academic institutions. However, in the early decades of the twentieth century, before the formalization of urban anthropology as an area of knowledge, Brazilian intellectuals were already focusing on the city, encouraged by the transformations generated through the country's modernization process. The consolidation of urban research was facilitated by research groups that drew heavily on French and American traditions. Since the 1980s, urban anthropology has established itself in the country, with a strong ethnographic focus mainly on peripheral areas and social movements, especially those associated with housing and access to communal facilities.
Urban Anthropology: Southeast Asia
Authors: Yeoh Seng‐Guan
Published: December 2021

Contemporary scholarship in urban anthropology in Southeast Asia is characterized by an eclectic diversity that stems from the intersections of several distinct trajectories. First, the geographical region has a long history of indigenous urbanism stretching back at least two millennia. Secondly, an array of European (Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, French, German, and British) and American imperial powers left their varied urban imaginaries and structural imprints on their colonial outposts around the region. Subsequent postcolonial governments have selectively appropriated these tangible and intangible legacies in the pursuit of nationalist development and modernization and, more recently, under the impetus of globalization, world city formation. Thirdly, the inheritance of varied methodological traditions originating from metropolitan academic centers have influenced how urbanism as a specific area of anthropological study has been configured and understood. With the rapid pace of urbanization and the growth of numerous metropolises in the region, anthropological study of the specificity, diversity, and commonalities of urbanism and city life in Southeast Asia is set to broaden and deepen in the years ahead.
Algorithms
Authors: Jeevendrampillai David , Heurich Gui
Published: December 2021

Algorithms pervade our lives, affect and enable behaviors, and produce social relations in ways that are frequently unnoticed, difficult to trace, and raise interesting questions around agency, responsibility, and ethics. For anthropologists looking at the creation of algorithms, the technical and precise definitions from computer science are often no longer sufficient. One of their tasks is to ethnographically trace how people describe and/or conceptualize algorithms and how they perceive algorithmic effects on their daily lives or if they think about such things at all. From examination of “source code” to a wider analysis of computational cultures and the emergent social effects of algorithmic thinking, future anthropological work will, no doubt, seek to localize and pluralize the many cosmo‐techniques that are present in the world of computation. Through ethnographic descriptions, anthropologists make a valuable contribution to in‐depth understandings of algorithmic cultures as they arise from the field.
Hacking
Authors: Murillo Luis Felipe R.
Published: December 2021

Anthropology has been a shy but steady companion in the development of digital computing, whereas hackers have appeared only more recently in the ethnographic archive. This entry describes two major threads in the literature on hacking: the first anthropological and concerned with traditional topics of research (such as personhood, gift giving, magic, ritual, and morality) and the other interdisciplinary in nature. With a focus on the anthropological literature, the entry discusses how ethnographers have engaged the study of hacking as a means of advancing new theoretical and methodological approaches. The conclusion covers current developments and open questions for the creation of an anthropology of computing based on the literature on hacking.
Urban Anthropology: East Central Europe
Authors: Niedźwiedź Anna
Published: December 2021

This entry discusses the historical context of urban development in east central Europe before outlining the key issues studied by urban anthropologists in the region. It refers to ethnographic research in particular cities, emphasizing the most significant topics that have been studied by researchers who are academically based both within and outside the region. The entry also covers the most influential theoretical framework, which was adapted as well as generated in the course of these anthropological studies. Studies are included that, in various linguistic and institutional scholarly traditions of east central European countries, are also defined as ethnological, ethnographic, folkloristic, or as related to cultural studies, urban studies, urban sociology, and qualitatively oriented urban history or to human geography and area studies.
Poignant, Roslyn (1927–2019)
Authors: Thomas Martin
Published: December 2021

Roslyn Poignant (1927–2019) was a visual anthropologist and historian who analyzed ethnographic photography and its links with colonization. A graduate of the University of Sydney, she was based in London for much of her life. She trained as a film editor and was married to the photographer Axel Poignant. Her work was informed by a practical understanding of photography's conditions of production. She curated the groundbreaking exhibition
Observers of Man
, drawn from the collections of the Royal Anthropological Institute, of which she was honorary secretary. In the 1990s Poignant developed a consultative methodology for the study of photographic archives. This involved the repatriation of images taken by her late husband to Arnhem Land, northern Australia, where he had worked in the 1950s. Her major publication is
Professional Savages
(2004), a study of Aboriginal Australians who were abducted and exhibited as racial curiosities in the United States and Europe.
Urban Anthropology: Russia
Authors: Zhelnina Anna
Published: December 2021

Russian cities are unequal in terms of their access to infrastructure and jobs, the quality of their living environment, and the media attention they receive. While some cities attract internal and international migration, others lose their population because of dramatic social and economic shifts experienced by the country in recent decades. Academic research on cities focuses on urban inequality, segregation, experiences of migrants, and urban civic engagement, among other topics. A distinct common thread in these studies is the theme of habitability in rapidly changing or shrinking cities; local identities, creative engagement with the place, and the formation of comfortable, familiar social worlds are some of the themes explored by urban scholars. In addition to academic scholarship, a cluster of applied urban research studies have emerged to advise urban power holders as they embark on various redevelopment projects.
Engaged Climate Anthropology
Authors: Baer Hans A.
Published: December 2021

This entry discusses the development of the anthropology of climate change and engaged climate anthropology as its inevitable derivative, given the gravity of anthropogenic climate change for humanity as a whole and for local populations, which have constituted the mainstay of anthropological research around the world. It focuses on three settings in which engaged climate anthropologists work: climate policy, communities impacted by climate change, and climate action groups and climate movements. Given the gravity of climate change, engaged climate anthropologists are urged to take part in a larger project, namely the anthropology of the future, which prompts us to be a part of a growing global effort to envision alternatives to the existing world system.
