Authors: Сизова Ирина Леонидовна , Карапетян Рубен Вартанович , Орлова Наталья Сергеевна
Published: December 2022

Статья посвящена изучению влияния цифровизации на социально-трудовую сферу. В первом разделе представлен обзор современных концепций «цифрового труда» и направлений его исследования в социальных науках (социологии и экономике). Изменения труда связываются с развитием цифровой экономики, однако общее развитие сильно зависит от социокультурных факторов. Во втором разделе рассматриваются актуальные проблемы цифровой культуры труда, которая выражается через повседневные способы и практики взаимодействия работников с техникой и технологий. Вместе с тем в цифровую эпоху трансформируются смыслы и значения труда, меняется природа отчуждения, неравенства, характер эмансипации, креативности и эстетики в работе. На основе отмеченных теоретических идей авторы провели социологическое исследование особенностей российской цифровой культуры труда, методология и результаты которого представлены в третьем и четвертом разделах статьи. Авторы пришли к выводу, что существуют множественные и разнообразные направления и последствия цифровизации в труде городских работников. Однако ее воздействие не детерминирует работу, скорее, стимулирует акторов к поиску нового баланса власти и влияния, извлечению преимуществ и поиску компромиссов в трудовых отношениях, профессиональной мотивации и знаниях, а, также в потоке повседневной жизни. 

Благодарность.

Body Mass Index is The Most Associated Anthropometry Indicators of Obesity with Insulin Resistance in Female College Students
Authors: Dieny Fillah Fithra , Rose Sophia , Tsani A Fahmy Arif
Published: December 2022

Background: Dysfunction of body tissues due to excessive food consumption is often referred to obesity. Excess storage of visceral fat can develop insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is associated with cardiovascular diseases. Anthropometric measurements can illustrate the early risk of insulin resistance. The aim of this study is to identify the association between anthropometric indicators and insulin resistance.Materials and Methods: The participants in this study were 163 female students aged 19-24 years who live in Semarang. This is a cross sectional study with a purposive sampling method using the "google form". Anthropometric data that were collected in this study include weight, height, waist cirrcumference, hip, sagittal abdominal diameter. Biochemical data that were collected include blood sugar and insulin levels. The data were analyzed using Pearson Correlation test and Multiple Linear Regression test.Results: Anthropometric indicators with high risk were 72.4% for Waist to Height Ratio  (WHtR); 22.1% for Waist Hip Ratio (WHR); 35.6% for Body Mass Index (BMI); 12.2% for Sagittal Abdominal Diameter (SAD) and 55.2% for waist cirrcumference. Meanwhile, subjects with high Fasting Blood Glucose levels was 16.6%, subjects had the Conicity Index (C-Index) at risk was 74.8% and based on the Relative Fat Mass (RFM) it was 23.9% of the participants were at risk of obesity and high Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) levels were 74.2%. Anthropometric indicators of obesity, including Conicity Index, Relative Fat Mass, WHtR, WHR, BMI, SAD, and waist and hip ratio were all positively associated with insulin resistance. Therefore, multivariate analysis showed that an increase in body mass index is an indicator that is most associated with the insulin resistance (p<0,001).Conclusion: Body Mass Index is the anthropometric indicator that is most associated with insulin resistance.

‘Without V-ing’ clauses: clausal negative concomitance in typological perspective
Authors: Olguín Martínez Jesús , Peregrina Llanes Manuel
Published: December 2022

This investigation offers an analysis of crosslinguistic variation in the expression of clausal negative concomitance (e.g. ‘he slept without using a pillow’) in a sample of 65 languages, showing that most languages in the sample tend to use conjunctions and converbs for indicating clausal negative concomitance. The discussion of clause-linkage patterns reveals that most languages have monofunctional devices for signaling clausal negative concomitance. Intriguingly, even when languages employ a clause-linking device for conveying clausal negative concomitance, negative markers may play an important role in that they may be obligatory, optional, or disallowed in the ‘without V-ing’ clause. It is proposed that whether the clause-linking device is semantically monofunctional or polyfunctional is the key to this puzzle. The paper also shows that most languages in the sample tend to signal clausal negative concomitance and nominal negative concomitance (e.g. ‘you took a basket without holes’) in the same way. This indicates a diachronic connection between these constructions.
Jacques Rueff: Unorthodox Classical Liberal, Civil Servant, and Monetary Theorist
Authors: Gregg Samuel
Published: December 2022

Jacques Rueff was a leading twentieth-century French classical liberal. Actively involved in academic life, a prominent monetary theorist, and one of the first international critics of John Maynard Keynes, Rueff played a central role in French public life and economic policy as a civil servant before World War II. A prolific author, most notably of his influential L’Ordre social (1945), Rueff was a major contributor to postwar conservative liberalism, the architect of Charles de Gaulle's economic stablization program of 1958, and the world’s foremost defender of the classic gold standard.
Densities and isothermal compressibilities from perturbed hard-dimer-chain equation of state: application to nanofluids
Authors: Taghizadehfard Mahsa , Hosseini Sayed Mostafa , Pierantozzi Mariano , Alavianmehr Mohammad Mehdi
Published: December 2022

Densities and isothermal compressibilities of several nanofluids were modelled using a perturbed hard-chain equation of state (EoS) by an attractive term from Yukawa tail in 273–363 K range and pressure up to 45 MPa. The nanofluids of interest comprise TiO2-Anatase (-A), TiO2-Rutile (-R), SnO2, Co3O4, CuO, ZnO, and Al2O3 as nanoparticles dispersed in ethylene glycol, water, poly ethylene glycol, ethylene glycol + water, and poly ethylene glycol + water as base fluids. The EoS was capable of estimating 1397 density data of 9 nanofluids with the overall average absolute deviations (AAD) of 0.90%. The coefficients of isothermal compressibility of 6 selected nanofluids were also predicted using the EoS with the AAD of 5.74% for 1095 data points examined. The PHDC EoS was not capable of estimating the excess volumes of 3 selected EG-, PEG-, and water-based nanofluids accurately as the relative deviations from the literature data were greater than 34%, even though the trend of results against the nanoparticle concentration was in accord with the literature. To further investigate the density prediction, we have trained a neural network with a single hidden layer and 17 neurons which was able to predict the densities of nanofluids accurately.
Premature adrenarche in Prader–Willi syndrome is associated with accelerated pre-pubertal growth and advanced bone age
Authors: Gaston Lindsey S. , Stafford Diane E.
Published: December 2022

Objectives

Prader–Willi syndrome (PWS) is characterized by obesity, growth hormone deficiency, hypogonadism, and a high prevalence of premature adrenarche despite reported hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis dysfunction. While idiopathic premature adrenarche is associated with accelerated pre-pubertal growth and advanced bone age, the consequences of elevated adrenal androgens on growth and bone maturation in PWS remain unknown. This study therefore sought to describe age-related changes in dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) and their effects on growth and bone maturation in PWS.

Methods

This retrospective observational study included 62 children with PWS. Simple and multiple regression models were constructed to relate age and BMI-SDS with DHEAS levels. Height velocity was compared to age and sex-based norms with t-tests and two-way ANOVA. Patterns in bone age Z-score were examined with two-way ANOVA, and the contributions of age, BMI-SDS, and DHEAS to bone age Z-score were analyzed with multiple regression.

Results

DHEAS levels rose earlier and were less strongly correlated with age in males and females with PWS (R2=0.12 and 0.30) compared to healthy controls (R2=0.89 and 0.88) in a pattern unrelated to BMI-SDS (adjusted R2=0.076, p=0.10 for age, and 0.29 for BMI-SDS). Mid-childhood height velocity was increased in males and preserved in females with PWS before declining at the age of expected puberty (p<0.0001). Peri-adrenarchal bone age was advanced in a manner associated with DHEAS but not BMI-SDS (p<0.0001; adjusted R2=0.48, p=0.0014 for DHEAS, and 0.78 for BMI-SDS).

Conclusions

An obesity-independent increase in adrenal androgens is associated with accelerated mid-childhood growth and bone maturation in PWS.

Highly infectious viral diseases are a serious threat to mankind as they can spread rapidly among the community, possibly even leading to the loss of many lives. Early diagnosis of a viral disease not only increases the chance of quick recovery, but also helps prevent the spread of infections. There is thus an urgent need for accurate, ultrasensitive, rapid, and affordable diagnostic techniques to test large volumes of the population to track and thereby control the spread of viral diseases, as evidenced during the COVID-19 and other viral pandemics. This review paper critically and comprehensively reviews various emerging nanophotonic biosensor mechanisms and biosensor technologies for virus detection, with a particular focus on detection of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus. The photonic biosensing mechanisms and technologies that we have focused on include: (a) plasmonic field enhancement via localized surface plasmon resonances, (b) surface enhanced Raman scattering, (c) nano-Fourier transform infrared (nano-FTIR) near-field spectroscopy, (d) fiber Bragg gratings, and (e) microresonators (whispering gallery modes), with a particular emphasis on the emerging impact of nanomaterials and two-dimensional materials in these photonic sensing technologies. This review also discusses several quantitative issues related to optical sensing with these biosensing and transduction techniques, notably quantitative factors that affect the limit of detection (LoD), sensitivity, specificity, and response times of the above optical biosensing diagnostic technologies for virus detection. We also review and analyze future prospects of cost-effective, lab-on-a-chip virus sensing solutions that promise ultrahigh sensitivities, rapid detection speeds, and mass manufacturability.

One Plague for Another? Interdisciplinary Shortcomings in Plague Studies and the Place of the Black Death in Histories of the Justinianic Plague
Authors: Newfield Timothy P.
Published: December 2022

Late antique plague has never been more contested. Recent scholarship has repeatedly questioned whether the Justinianic plague caused catastrophic mortality and supporters of the traditional narrative of a vast, depopulating sixth-century pandemic have dug in. Scholars have repeatedly assessed evidence thought to prove traditional narratives about the Justinianic plague, but never to everyone’s liking. Things have gotten ugly and no resolution is in sight. To advance the debate and shift the focus, these pages review the use of the Black Death in accounts of the Justinianic plague. What follows demonstrates that the claim the sixth-century pandemic killed many millions is founded on centuries of uncritical treatment of late antique sources reinforced in recent generations via the overinterpretation of the first pandemic’s plague diagnosis and the neglect of plague’s ecological and epidemiological complexities. That the Justinianic plague was another Black Death underpins research agendas and influences the interpretation of data in diverse fields, but it is an unsubstantiated claim, one stemming from deficient interdisciplinarity and neither proven by current evidence nor provable with current methods. Only by strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration, it is proposed in closing, can we begin to remedy our first-pandemic plague problems.

Authors: Donga Gift , Roman Nicolette Vanessa , Benjamin Fatiema , Sonn Inge Karla , Rich Edna
Published: December 2022

The study examined barriers to effective parenting of adolescent children in resource-constrained communities. A qualitative approach was adopted for data collection and analysis. Thematic analysis was applied to data acquired from a sample of parents from resource-constrained areas in the Western Cape Province, South Africa. Parents interviewed identified the following barriers: financial constraints, peer influence, alcohol and drug abuse, lack of adequate parental time, communication and maturational changes. Given the parental challenges emerging from the findings of the study, greater understanding of the conditions under which effective parenting of adolescent children in resource-constrained societies can be fostered is essential.

Application Of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Remote Sensing Technology for Estimation of Tree Height in Heterogeneous Forest
Authors: Hematang Francine , Murdjoko Agustinus , Hendri Hendri , Tokede Max
Published: December 2022

Tree height is an important piece of information in forest management. Cost, time, and effort are some of the limiting factors in extracting tree height values on a large scale. The canopy height model approach through aerial photography using UAV can be used to quickly estimate the height of large-scale trees combined with field measurements. CHM analysis was carried out using spatial statistics to get the maximum tree height value based on the tree canopy. Evaluation of accuracy in the form of statistical tests is used to assess the level of accuracy of the estimation. Photogrammetry results show that the obtained CHM has a resolution of 11.8 cm/pixel with the results of the evaluation of tree height accuracy having an RMSE of 2.4 m, MAE 2.0 m, SDE 3.8 m. The chi-square statistical test shows that the results of the tree height estimation accept H0 and there is a strong relationship between the observed tree height and the estimation through linear regression with an R2 value of 0.67. The broad estimation of height shows that Mansinam Island has a tree height in the range of 7 – 66 m. The dominant tree height is in the 19-30 m class with the number of individuals reaching 1,877 trees. This study shows that CHM obtained from aerial photography using low-cost UAVs is still able to estimate tree height well. For future studies, it is necessary to use a ground control point (GCP) to increase the accuracy of the elevation model and orthophoto.

Authors: Subekti Niken , Wulandari Retno
Published: December 2022

The use of disposable medical masks during the Covid-19 pandemic can cause solid waste problems in the environment. The subterranean termite Macrotermes gilvus  Hagen has the potential to degrade medical mask waste due to the presence of microorganisms in its intestines. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of adding starter bacteria from the intestine of the subterranean termite M. gilvus  Hagen and the most optimal composting time in the degradation of medical mask waste according to SNI standards based on physical properties (color, smell, and texture), chemical properties (C-Organic content, N content, and C/N) compost. The results showed that the addition of bacterial starter from the subterranean termite intestine M. gilvus  Hagen with a concentration of 50% and a composting time of 5 weeks gave the best compost yield according to SNI No. 19-7030-2004 because it has a dark brown color, crumb texture, smells like soil, 20.22%  C-Organic content, 1.35% total N content, and 15.14% C/N content. This research can be recommended as an alternative solution for waste management using biological agents.

Published: December 2022

Abattoir is one of the most pronounced but yet ignored sources of highly recalcitrant wastewater that pose many environmental challenges and cause harm to mankind. However, little was reported on the molecular identification of bacterial committee from the abattoir wastewater. This study aimed at isolation and molecular identification of most abundant bacterium species from wastewater of abattoir. Wastewater sample was collected, isolate and identify the most abundant bacterium by gram staining and microscopy. Genomic DNA (gDNA) was extracted from the isolated bacterium and conducted 16S rRNA PCR amplification. Multiple sequence and phylogenetic relationship among other 8 Bacillus species and 1 outgroup were inferred by comparing the sequence data sets from NBCI. The biochemical identification analyses indicated that the bacterium is gram positive with Bacillus shape and cream-yellow colour. 16S rRNA and bioinformatics analyses demonstrated that the most abundant isolated bacterium is Bacillus pumilus with 99% identification. Moreover, the phylogenetic tree analysis discovered that the identified bacterium from this study is more closely related to Bacillus species as they share the same clade. The sequence is partial as compared with the other deposited sequences in the GeneBank. This study provides an insight on the microbial species of Nigeria abattoir wastewater which was identified using molecular approach. As well, gave a clue for potential treatment of the wastewater.

Published: December 2022

Metro Cebu, Philippines has a history of over 800 years of urbanization, making it a unique location for urban ecological studies. Urbanization can have a significant impact on floral communities, but the species composition and variety of urban cemeteries in Metro Cebu have not been reported. We calculated floral species richness (N), abundance (n), evenness (PE), and diversity (H' and D) by conducting the first floral survey (local plants and alien plants) in an urban cemetery in Metro Cebu. Subsequently, we evaluated the distribution pattern of floral species and the relationships between the richness of floral species and human activities. A total of 61 floral species (n=1,515) were recorded, with the proportion of APs (n=53; 86.88%) being much larger than the number of NPS (n=8; 13.11%). Shannon-Wiener Diversity index was calculated to be 2.69, Simpson's Diversity index was 0.16, and Pielou's Evenness was 0.65. Our research provides the first information on floral species in Metro Cebu, Philippines, and serves as a baseline for future studies and conservation efforts.
Colonial Heritage of Russia in Ukrainian Cinematograph: Problems of Overcoming
Authors:   M. Rylskyi Institute of Art Studies, Folkloristics and Ethnology, Trymbach Serhii
Published: December 2022

Colonial expansion of the imperial Russia on the territory of Ukraine is of a three hundred years’ history, which has got its logical continuation in the 20th – 21st centuries. Social and cultural dynamics of the colonial war of the imperial centre against Ukraine and its people during the last century is analyzed in the article. It is the period starting from the destruction of cultural institutions at the turn of the 1920s – 1930s, arrests and executions of a whole generation of the workers of literature and art, destruction of grain-growers’ culture and its bearers during the years of Holodomor. Then there has been a decade of the late Stalin years (1944–1954), when the only existence of Ukraine and Ukrainians is declared illegitimate, decades (1954–1964, 1964–1974) of the legitimization of Ukrainian political elites, with the condition of their work for a real liquidation of Ukrainian culture and language, and resistance of a young generation (the Sixtiers) to a new imperial policy. The following decennial periods have their peculiarities, however, even at the times of the dawning of the age of Ukrainian independence the expansion of Russia hasn’t abated. It is armed with the cultural and informative technologies of influence, reformatting of the consciousness of the masses, developed over the centuries. Cinematograph is one of the most powerful means of the formation of senses, narratives and images, aimed at the territories, interpreted as the zones of traditionally ostensibly Russian civilization. In fact, these zones are the borderlands. Really a clash of civilizations takes place here. According to popular and authoritative nowadays concept of the clash of civilization by American sociologist and political scientist Samuel P. Huntington, the most important borders, dividing mankind in modern world, are not determined by ideology, economics, but culture. These are not nation-states that are in conflict now (although their significance in the world is still very notable), but nations and groups, belonging to different civilizations. The clash of civilizations becomes a dominant factor of a world politics. The conflict between civilizations, which turns into a real war, is the final phase of the evolution of global conflicts in the modern world. Russian-Ukrainian war is a real war for the strengthening of the civilizational senses and lines in this context. From the side of Ukraine this is a struggle for the return to the West civilization. The struggle, which is conducting including with the means of purely cultural and artistic direction, which is evidenced with the submitted material from the up to date history of Ukrainian cinema.

Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND

Resettled refugees land in Canada through 3 sponsorship models with similar health insurance and financial supports but differences in how resettlement is facilitated. We examined whether health system utilization, costs, and aggregate 1-year morbidity differed by resettlement model.

METHODS

Population-based matched cohort study in Ontario, 2008 to 2018, including pediatric (0–17 years) resettled refugees and matched Ontario-born peers and categorized refugees by resettlement model: (1) private sponsorship (PSRs), (2) Blended Visa Office-Referred program (BVORs), and (3) government-assisted refugee (GAR). Primary outcomes were health system utilization and costs in year 1 in Canada. Multivariable logistic regression was used to test the associations between sponsorship model and major illnesses.

RESULTS

We included 23 287 resettled refugees (13 360 GARs, 1544 BVORs, 8383 PSRs) and 93 148 matched Ontario-born. Primary care visits were highest among GARs and lowest in PSRs (median visits [interquartile range], GARs 4[2–6]; BVORs 3[2–5]; PSRs 3[2–5]; P <.001). Emergency department visits and hospitalizations were more common among GARs and BVORs versus PSRs (emergency department: GARs 19.2%; BVORs 23.4%; PSRs 13.8%; hospitalizations: GARs 2.5%; BVORs 3.2%; PSRs 1.1%, P <.001). Mean 1-year health system costs were highest among GARs (mean [standard deviation] $1278 [$7475]) and lowest among PSRs ($555 [$2799]; Ontario-born $851 [9226]). Compared with PSRs, GARs (adjusted odds ratio 1.63, 95% confidence interval 1.47–1.81) and BVORs (adjusted odds ratio 1.52, 95% confidence interval 1.26–1.84) were more likely to have major illnesses.

CONCLUSIONS

Health care use and morbidity of PSRs suggests they are healthier and less costly than GARs and BVOR model refugees. Despite a greater intensity of health care utilization than Ontario-born, overall excess demand on the health system for all resettled refugee children is low.
Investigating Stancetaking in Russian and Chinese
Authors: Davie Jim
Published: December 2022

The proposition that stancetaking is pervasive in communication is widely argued (e.g., Halliday, 1978; Ochs, 1990; Englebretson, 2007; Jaffe, 2009). However, as a subject of critical analysis, stance is not typically studied in foreign language courses at UK universities. UK civil servants therefore developed and piloted a course on interpreting stance in Russian and Mandarin Chinese, incorporating Poynton’s (1989 [1985]) extended tenor network and Martin and White’s (2005) Appraisal Framework. Survey feedback from 53 language analysts and instructor observations indicated, inter alia, that the course helped the majority of learners to enhance their awareness of how stance is expressed in their L2. Responses also highlighted perceived merits and demerits of the course and signalled the value of a larger, gradated offering to optimise course benefit. While preliminary, these results have implications not only for civil service language instructors, but also – potentially – those in higher education.
The effects of the attributional style on the mathematics performance of senior secondary school students
Authors: Lapite Akolade Olubunmi , Maree Jacobus Gideon , Jordaan Joyce
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of the attributional style on the mathematics performance of senior secondary school students. The study involved a sequential explanatory mixed-method approach (QUANTITATIVE + qualitative). The quantitative part of the study involved 300 students drawn from 2 schools chosen in 2 education districts in Lagos State, Nigeria. The major data generation instruments for the study were the Attributional Style Questionnaire (ASQ), the mathematics performance scores of students, and focus-group interviews. Focus-group interviews with 20 students (10 students per school) were used in the qualitative part of the study. Quantitative data were analysed by calculating correlation coefficients, conducting multiple regression analyses, and performing a one-way analysis of variance to compare the subscales across gender and socio-economic status. Conversation analysis was used to analyse the qualitative data generated. The findings reveal no significant relationships between the attributional style and mathematics performance. Gender-based differences were found in the stability and globality scales, students’ socio-economic status, and their attitudes towards mathematics. Future research on all the variables used in this study could be replicated on different samples. Researchers could consider exploring the use of an attributional style questionnaire on academic issues using a similar sample as in this study.
Reconsidering contemporary classifications of sanctions in the light of the Russia sanctions regime
Authors:   Ural Institute of Management – Branch of RANEPA, Ekaterinburg, Russian Federation, Pobedin Alexander A.
Published: December 2022

Relevance In 2022, Russia has been facing unprecedented sanctions pressure, which has created a need to reconsider the established classifications of sanctions. As the new challenges arise, one has to deploy not only the current analytical resources but rely on the integrated conceptualization of earlier cases. Research objective. The study aims to describe and test methodology for analysis of sanctions regimes by using the current data on the sanctions against Russia. Data and method. The study relies on the methods of case study and statistical analysis and uses the data provided by Rosstat, Central Bank of the Russian Federation, Castellum.AI, UNCTAD. Results. The study proposes a base model of sanctions which combines two dimensions – the areas of foreign economic activity impacted by the restrictions and the factors that determine the sanctions' influence on the target country. It is shown how the proposed model can be adjusted for the analysis of the Russia sanctions regime. Conclusions. The sanctions put considerable pressure on Russia's economy because by the nature of their impact and scope they far exceed the scale of the restrictions that were previously applied to other countries. To withstand the sanctions pressure, a serious revision and reorganization of the country's foreign trade structure and domestic economic policy is necessary.
Challenges of anti-Russia sanctions for metals and mining enterprises in Kazakhstan
Authors:   Rudny Industrial Institute, Rudny, Kazakhstan, Bozhko Larissa
Published: December 2022

Relevance: The new challenges for Kazakhstan's economy have emerged in the aftermath of current geopolitical tensions, especially after Kazakhstani businesses have found themselves under the threat of the US and EU secondary sanctions. The industries of the export-oriented metals and mining sector were hit the hardest. Kazakhstani enterprises in their attempts to navigate the sometimes contradictory trends in world trade responded in a variety of ambivalent ways. This situation clearly requires more research. While the lack of large data volumes makes qualitative diagnostics and scenario-based forecasting extremely difficult, the proposed approach may prove to be a viable solution. Research objective: This study aims to identify and describe the main models of behaviour demonstrated by Kazakhstani companies that seek to manage the risk of secondary sanctions and mitigate their export losses. Data and methods: To study the responses of Kazakhstani companies to the risk of secondary sanctions, the case study method was used, which provides us with a broader view on the companies of different sizes and territorial presence. The cases are then systematized to identify the key types of corporate responses to secondary sanctions. The study relies on the observations and data gathered from the documentations of Kazakhstani companies, media publications, reviews, the List of Items Prohibited for Export and Import in Russia and the Republic of Belarus Pursuant to Sanctions, and the normative legal acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Results: The study has brought to light the models of behaviour demonstrated by large enterprises and junior companies in Kazakhstan's metals and mining industry. Seeking to minimize the risk of secondary sanctions, Kazakhstani enterprises choose different behaviour models. A comprehensive in-depth content-analysis has revealed the basic trends in the development of Kazakhstan's metals and mining sector. Conclusions: The analysis of the resulting portfolio of cases has shown differences in the responses of large companies affiliated with TNCs and small and medium-sized juniors. The study also brought to light the sanctions' negative impact on the development of Kazakhstan's economy.

Resumo Como pessoas LGBTI+ têm sido consideradas nas pesquisas em Educação Matemática? Para responder esta pergunta, realizamos uma pesquisa bibliográfica do tipo Estado da Arte. Nosso corpus de análise incluiu teses, dissertações, artigos em periódicos e anais de eventos nacionais e internacionais. Identificamos 55 produções, publicadas a partir de 1995 – data da primeira publicação encontrada –, as quais interpretamos com inspiração na Análise de Conteúdo. Emergiram, na análise, quatro categorias: Formação de Professories de Matemática; Relações de Pessoas LGBTI+ com Matemática; Educação Básica e Avaliações de Larga Escala; e Discussões Teóricas e Pesquisas Bibliográficas. Percebemos uma concentração de pesquisas com objetivo de investigar as relações de pessoas LGBTI+ com a Matemática na Educação Básica, que interpretamos como uma tentativa de les autories em romper com a (re)produção de cis-heteronormas pela Matemática no âmbito das pesquisas e do contexto escolar. Como encaminhamentos, sugerimos pesquisas que analisem estratégias para um ensino de Matemática que visibilize, respeite e valorize pessoas LGBTI+; articulações entre a Educação Matemática e os estudos queer; compreensões sobre práticas de docentes de Matemática autoidentificades LGBTI+ e suas trajetórias; pesquisas que não apenas incluam pessoas LGBTI+, mas que questionem a natureza do conhecimento e da aprendizagem matemática dessas pessoas, considerando que os ambientes educacionais costumam ser opressores para elas. Precisamos tensionar a (Educação) Matemática, tornando-a um meio pelo qual muitas pessoas, que, historicamente, são subalternizadas também por ela, possam se ver representadas e adentrar seus espaços.
Conexiones Etnomatemáticas en la Elaboración del Sancocho de Guandú y su Comercialización en Sibarco, Colombia
Authors: Rodríguez-Nieto Camilo Andrés , Escobar-Ramírez Yeimer Carlos
Published: December 2022

Resumen La literatura sobre Etnomatemática evidencia que las investigaciones previas poco enfatizan en las conexiones entre el arte de la gastronomía y las matemáticas usadas para la elaboración de un determinado producto alimenticio, sino que se enfocan en prácticas cotidianas como la pesca, la carpintería, la albañilería, la ganadería, o bien, elaboración de artefactos como cometas, armarios, máscaras, vestidos, casas indígenas, la formación de estudiantes y profesores en el contexto de la etnomatemática y geometría, entre otros. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este artículo es caracterizar las Conexiones Etnomatemáticas establecidas por cocineros tradicionales Mokaná en la elaboración y comercialización del sancocho de guandú, en Sibarco. Teóricamente, este estudio se fundamentó en la Etnomatemática, Conexiones Etnomatemáticas y las actividades universales. La metodología fue cualitativa, desarrollada en tres etapas, donde se seleccionaron los participantes-cocineros. Luego, se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas para recolectar los datos, analizados con base en el fundamento teórico. Los resultados evidencian Conexiones Etnomatemáticas como las relaciones entre los conocimientos matemáticos de los cocineros y la matemática institucionalizada, por ejemplo, usaron medidas convencionales como el metro, el litro, libra, arroba; unidades de medida no convencionales como el galón, la totuma, el saco, la cuchara de palo, la taza, el remillón, la carga, el bulto, entre otras. Asimismo, se evidenciaron procesos de conteos en la cantidad de ingredientes para el sancocho conectados con sus precios, nociones geométricas conectadas a la localización de la olla y nociones geométricas en la forma y diseño de la totuma, de la olla, la cuchara de palo, simetrías y el concepto de triángulo y plano en la conformación del fogón. Concluimos que este estudio ofrece un insumo de Conexiones Etnomatemáticas para la enseñanza-aprendizaje y comprensión de las matemáticas.
Conocimientos sobre Divisibilidad de Alumnos Ingresantes a la Universidad con el Método de Análisis Estadístico Implicativo

Resumen El conocimiento sobre divisibilidad de los ingresantes a las carreras de ingeniería de la Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales y Agrimensura de la Universidad Nacional del Nordeste, 2019, se analiza mediante Análisis Estadístico Implicativo. Se realiza un análisis de similitud de los ítems del formulario y se construye el grafo implicativo. Se concluye que en la resolución de los problemas planteados incidirían notablemente las diferentes formas de representar los números. El concepto de divisor juega un papel relevante en el problema de divisibilidad ya que se encuentra al principio del gráfico de implicación. El conocimiento de las propiedades relacionadas con las diferentes formas de representar los números no estaría ligado a la resolución de problemas en un contexto extramatemático.
Zona conceptual de formas de pensamiento aritmético “sofisticado” y proto-formas de pensamiento algebraico: una contribución a la noción de zona de emergencia del pensamiento algebraico
Authors: Vergel Rodolfo , Radford Luis , Rojas Pedro Javier
Published: December 2022

Resumen La investigación sobre formas de pensamiento algebraico no evade la discusión de las formas de pensamiento aritmético. Resultados de investigación muestran que la ausencia de indicios espaciales en el estudio de secuencias numéricas hace que los estudiantes limiten el proceso de generalización al trabajo sobre relaciones entre números. En este artículo, a partir de datos provenientes de una investigación doctoral y de un programa de extensión con profesores de matemáticas, se analiza la actividad semiótica de una estudiante y de una profesora de primaria, respectivamente. El análisis sugiere la presencia de una zona conceptual en la que formas sofisticadas de generalización aritmética estarían muy cerca de proto-formas de pensamiento algebraico, y, además, abre pistas para profundizar la reflexión epistemológica en aras de lograr una caracterización más inteligible de esta zona conceptual en el aprendizaje del álgebra.
O caderno de geometria de 1905 de uma aluna do Colégio São José, de São Leopoldo/RS

Published: December 2022

Resumo O artigo objetiva discutir o que os problemas encontrados no caderno escolar do ano de 1905, de uma aluna do Colégio São José das Irmãs Franciscanas de São Leopoldo/RS, revelam sobre a Matemática praticada nesse Colégio voltado para a formação feminina. A análise possui abordagem qualitativa, por meio de análise documental, sendo a principal fonte primária desta pesquisa histórica um caderno de geometria do início do século XX. Com base em referenciais sobre cultura escolar, investigaram-se os problemas presentes no caderno, identificando-se os conteúdos envolvidos, os procedimentos de cálculo que emergem desses problemas e a associação com o cotidiano das alunas do Colégio. Os sessenta problemas presentes no caderno abordam o cálculo de área de superfície e, principalmente, de volume de sólidos geométricos. Predomina a aplicação direta das fórmulas para cálculo da área de superfície e de volume de sólidos em 42 problemas. Outros dezoito problemas estão associados ao dia a dia das alunas do Colégio, envolvendo cálculo de volume de sólidos em forma de prisma, cilindro, cone e tronco de cone, como cuba, poço, cisterna, funil, telhado e balde. Os procedimentos de cálculo empregados seguem algumas descrições feitas no livro de Aritmética das Professoras do Colégio São José, do ano de 1900. Com base no exposto, verifica-se que esses problemas revelam traços de uma cultura escolar que educava as gerações de alunas para solução de problemas do cotidiano, tanto no gerenciamento de atividades domésticas, quanto profissionais, a partir de um material didático próprio para as aulas de Matemática no ensino primário.

Abstract Personal resources influence professionals’ relationships with their work and impact their engagement. Thus, we investigated whether the relationships between personality traits and meaningful work with engagement showed differences before and during the pandemic. The sample comprised 963 professionals with 828 participants, with a mean age of 35.5 years (SD = 10.7 years) before the COVID-19 pandemic, and 135 professionals with a mean age of 42.1 years (SD = 8.1 years) during the pandemic. The participants’ personality traits, meaningful work, and work engagement were assessed. Differences in the relationships between personal resources and engagement were investigated through network analysis. No significant differences were observed in the relationships investigated before and during the pandemic. Significant work was related to personality traits and played a central role in the network, evidencing its importance in promoting engagement at work.
