Using transitivity Analysis to Reveal the Nature of Characters in Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women
Authors: Napare Emayakre Noah
Published: January 2022

This article used transitivity analysis to reveal the nature of four major characters in Playing Pilgrims, a short story in Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women. The four major characters in the story are: Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy. The items in the novel are classified into three main components of transitivity. The main components are Participant, Circumstance and Process but the focus of analysis was on process type. The process types assigned to each character was countered and tabulated percentage wise. It was established that the author used 233 process types in the story. The study established that transitivity analysis could be used to analyze or reveal the nature of characters in a story depending on the type of processes assigned to those characters in the story. Meg is the most emotional character in the story since she was assigned the highest number of mental process. Jo is the most sociable character in the story as she was assigned the highest number of relational process. Amy, on the other hand, is the most physically active character since she was assigned the highest number of material process. On the other hand, Jo can be seen as the most vocal character in the story since she was assigned the highest number of verbal process which focuses on the vocal ability of a character. Beth is the character who exhibited most of the behavioral attitudes in the story. Existential process was not assigned to any of the major characters in the short story. The study recommends that researchers who may have interest in transitivity analysis should use it to analyze other works of Louisa May Alcott to establish whether their findings would be similar to the findings of this study or different.

Published: January 2022

Hepatitis E is an emerging issue, with the number of confirmed cases in the UK increasing in 2009-2015, and decreasing slightly in 2016 and 2017. There is some epidemiological evidence of an association of this virus with undercooked pork and pork products. Currently, there is no standardized method for evaluating thermal stability of HEV and also a lack of a suitable assay that can distinguish between intact HEV that can cause an infection and damaged virus which is not capable of causing an infection. This has raised concerns as it is extremely difficult to extrapolate the risk from pork products in relation to cooking practices. We are seeking to address this knowledge gap, which will not only inform our risk assessment, but will also provide an indication if cooking is sufficient to inactivate the virus in foods
The concept of national integrated risk management of aviation transport of Ukraine
Authors: Bugayko Dmytro , Ierkovska Yuliya , Aliyev Fariz , Bahrii Mariia
Published: January 2022

In the context of modern conditions of air transport development, the concept of the national air transport integrated risk management system is substantiated. The concept is based on the definition of risk as the probability of occurrence of events in a complex of hazards of different nature, manifestations of safety vulnerabilities, consequences of past negative phenomena and explains the danger of the threat due to determination "maximum potential energy". Its remaining part is subsequently converted into kinetic energy, which affects the safety management system of air transport and has a negative impact on the sustainable development of the national economy as a whole. At the same time, priority attention is paid to the list of hazards by the criterion of deviation from the point of sustainable development, the importance of the impact of threats on the coefficient of elasticity, which allows more adequate assessment of hazards and respond to them. The classification of the main risks in the functioning of Ukrainian air transport has been developed, which includes the negative consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, reduction of export-import operations in the economic downturn, number of flights and air passenger traffic, low congestion of airports and air infrastructure. Risks are identified in the following areas of operation and development of air transport in Ukraine: export-import operations, aviation infrastructure, air cargo, airports, air navigation service providers and general aviation, which allows early detection of risks and response to them. The concept was implemented by the State Aviation Regulation Department of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the State Civil Aviation Agency of Azerbaijan, Almaty International Airport (Kazakhstan), Ukraine-Air Alliance, ICAO NAU Institute, Georgian Aviation Training Center (Georgia).
Formation of the optimal business model of a logistics company
Authors: Pozniak Oksana , Kateryna Yurchenko
Published: January 2022

The article is devoted to the study of the main types of business models that a logistics company can use depending on its life cycle and development strategy. The main components of the business model are given, which determine the problems of formation and implementation of the selected business model of a logistics company. The author's approach to the concepts of "asset-light business model" and "asset-based business model" is proposed. The characteristic features of each business model, potential problems from their use, and the advantages that the implementation of the "asset-light business model" gives are determined. The evolution of business models and its modifications, which are determined by the stages of the life cycle of a logistics company and are determined by the influence of the main components of the business model, have been investigated. The structuring of logistics providers by types of business models has been carried out, which makes it possible to clearly determine the potential for logistics company`s success and the content of the main components, in accordance with the chosen business model. Based on the theoretical developments of the authors, an analysis of logistics companies that use the "asset-light business model" and "asset-based business model" was carried out. The resource provision of each business model is analyzed. It has been substantiated that, despite the type of business model, the main problem is how, using own, leased or resources of other participants in the logistics services market, namely subcontractors, to form an optimal business model or adapt the existing one to the changing conditions of the external environment. To reach this goal, different strategic management tools are used, which include the canvas of the business model. The advantage of using this tool for visualizing the main components that determine the influence of external and internal spheres on the business model of a logistics company has been substantiated. A business model canvas was formed for each logistics company, with different types of business models, which made it possible to determine the competitive advantages of each company. The analysis of indicators (metrics) that are used to assess the effectiveness of business models made it possible to choose the DuPont model based on the return on investment capital. As a result, the influence of the main elements of the model on the final ROIC result was determined, which was confirmed by carrying out the corresponding calculations.
DUALISTIČKA ONTOLOGIJA UMETNIČKOG DELA
Authors:   University of Arts in Belgrade, Faculty of Fine Arts, Radojčić Saša M.
Published: January 2022

In this essay, a philosophical position which sees the definition of the concept of a work of art in the sign of ontological dualism is considered. According to the aforementioned, works of art can be things or events. The basis of the distinction is the temporal quality of the con- stitution and the form of existence of the subject (simultaneity or processuality). The concept developed by G. E. Lessing in the second half of the 18th century is close to that understanding. In the work Laokoon or on the boundaries of painting and poetry (1766), Lessing insists on the difference in the medium of representation (space or time). For him, they are works of art representing the bodies or the actions. It turns out that dualistic determinations already encounter difficulties during a closer profiling of things and events. These difficulties increase and become unsolvable when faced with new artistic practices and their results, the inclusion of which requires either the expansion of the notions of the work of art and art itself, or their definition in a completely changed way. In the last part of the essay, the basic features of some newer conceptions of the work of art are presented, which articulate the dualistic ontology in different categories (type / token, autographic / allographic).

Good Governance via E-Governance: Moving towards Digitalization for a Digital Economy
Authors: Batool Sarfraz , Gill Shahzad Ali , Javaid Saba , Khan Ali Junaid
Published: January 2022

E-governance has become a well-celebrated trend in developed countries for the last three decades. It is considered an effective instrument to ensure good governance practices in any state. According to the digital state survey, the USA ranked highly in e-governance delivery, Europe ranked second, and Asia ranked third in e-governance among all other regional entities. However, this survey ranked countries on social measures such as e-democracy, e-commerce, e-revenue, e-taxation, etc. Information and communication technology (ICT) has brought a revolutionary change in the performance of governments all over the world. Governments are using ICT for multiple purposes, i.e., they use Government to Employee technology (G2E) to make their communication and correspondence efficient with their employees; they use Government to Government technology (G2G) to make their record-keeping procedures smooth and efficient; and they use Government to Business (G2B) and Business to Government (B2G) technology to create ease in doing business and attract local and foreign investors for economic development. Governments use government-to-citizen technology (G2C) to make service delivery more efficient, responsive, and end-user-friendly. However, for a long time, governments remained reactive to e-governance strategies, but this trend has changed. Now, they are proactive in adopting the e-governance model to ensure better social indicators and a corruption-free society. This study used the descriptive approach to describe the various initiatives undertaken by the current government to enhance the service delivery of the public sector. Therefore, this study has several implications for policymakers wishing to analyze the output of technological initiatives undertaken for good governance.

Published: January 2022

The security situation in Papua has recently escalated and tends to heat up. Responding to the escalation and violence that occurred in Papua, ensure that the government has categorized the Papuan Armed Criminal Group and all organizations and people who are members of it, and who support the movement, as terrorists. The increasing security situation in the Papua region is an urgency for the need for a comprehensive approach between the TNI, Polri, Satkowil, Regional Government, Ministry and Institutions to synergize in order to reduce the Papua conflict. The theory used in analyzing this problem is the theory of optimization, synergy, counter insurgency, the concept of terrorism, and the concept of national defense. The method that the researcher uses is a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, based on the researcher's experience while on duty in Papua. The results of this study indicate that synergies between institutions / ministries have been carried out in the form of dialogue, a soft power approach within the OMSP framework, as well as empowerment of local communities by synergizing with local governments. However, with the ongoing conflict and several escalations that occur, this shows that the synergy is still not optimal enough.
Potential Constitutional Concerns regarding Employees’ Rights during Business Rescue Proceedings
Authors: Marumoagae Clement , Phiri Siphethile
Published: January 2022

The South African business rescue procedure has not yet been adequately tested against the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996. In particular, the extent to which company stakeholders could raise constitutional rights to litigate against companies placed under business rescue is not clear. This contribution discusses the apparent tension between the ideal of providing business rescue practitioners the breathing space to attempt to rescue companies and the desire of the employees of those companies to litigate against such companies when they are placed under business rescue. It appears that generally, courts seem to be of the view that the moratorium established in chapter six of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 is broad enough to include employment-related disputes and that during the period of business rescue, employees are not permitted to litigate against their employer companies. Nevertheless, it would also appear that courts have not adequately considered how this moratorium should be balanced with employees’ constitutional rights, like the right to fair labour practices, social security and equality, and whether the moratorium legitimately and reasonably prohibits employees from protecting these rights by approaching courts during business rescue proceedings. It is argued in this contribution that either the courts or the legislature should provide clarity on the matter.
Impact of Post Pandemic on Environmental World Disorder

In general it has been observed that the Preparedness levels against the corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic were relatively poor in South Asian countries. However, South Asian countries have lower mortality levels compared with other world countries. COVID-19 has revealed the vulnerabilities of the health system as a whole. In addition, the high burden of non-communicable diseases in South Asia multiplies the complexities in combating present and future health crises. The advantage offered by the younger population demographics in South Asia may not be sustained with the rising burden of noncommunicable diseases and lack of priority setting for improving health systems. Thus the COVID-19 pandemic has provided a window for introspection, scaling up preparedness for future pandemics, and improving the health of the population overall. The COVID pandemic arrived in South Asia at a much later stage compared with other countries. As such, the South Asian countries may have been able to learn from countries that had early peaks, and therefore achieved better preparation in terms of the public health response. For example, this could have resulted in a lower viral load due to more people wearing masks. South Asian countries lift lockdowns despite rising case numbers. Healthcare facilities and hospitals are stretched due to the increase in the number of cases. It has been reported that testing levels in Pakistan and Bangladesh have fallen dramatically. Social distance is much prevalent in sangha members of Buddhism and caste system in Hindu and its associated communities. That help much to such communities during COVID-19 pandemic. Further requires strong leadership and great political will to allocate substantial resources to prepare for future pandemics. The region needs to scale up the existing social ‘safety nets’ rapidly, such as cash transfers for food. South Asian countries have also resorted to the use of online portals, social media, working from home, online learning, direct benefit transfers, delivery of health services through ‘virtual doctors’, deploying facial recognition, and use of thermal scanners for identification of infected people. Delayed vaccine campaigns in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan have brought more negative attention to their governments as other developed countries surge ahead. Since a huge extent of PM 2.5 can be credited to traffic vehicle’s gas and mechanical consuming of fills, this over all decrease of AQI information by implication shows an impact of lockdown in these nations.

Febrile seizures are common in children, with incidence rates up to 14% in developing countries; febrile status epilepticus accounts for roughly 5% of all febrile seizure cases. Both status epilepticus and febrile status epilepticus are life-threatening conditions that put children at risk of future epilepsy and that require timely diagnosis and care. However, there are difficulties in applying these diagnostic concepts to daily practice due to a lack of precise definitions of the disorders. In addition, there are no unified standardized neuroimaging diagnostic guidelines, and the significance of imaging findings, when observed, remains uncertain. Even though some brain MRI features occurring in the acute phase and over long-term follow-up have been studied in both children and animals, the causal relationships between these findings and risk of adverse seizure outcomes still need clarifying. Guidelines on eligibility criteria, optimal imaging modalities and protocols, timing of imaging, and the specific brain areas and structures to be evaluated and reported, along with their specific characteristics, are urgently required. This review summarizes clinical issues related to the varied definitions of febrile status epilepticus and the data regarding the acute and chronic neuroimaging changes observed in febrile status epilepticus
Ciências Sociais Computacionais: um novo paradigma para as Ciências Sociais?
Authors: Pavesi Patrícia P. , Valentim Julio
Published: January 2022

O surgimento da Ciência Social Computacional abre vários questionamentos e intensifica o movimento autorreflexivo que as Ciências Sociais vivenciam desde as chamadas “Virada Linguística” e “Ontológica” iniciadas na segunda metade do Século XX. Desse surgimento, emergem diferentes questões e angústias epistemológicas. Entre elas: (I) Esse enfoque preponderante em métodos quantitativos e experimentais nas Ciências Sociais não seria um retrocesso do campo e a retomada de um paradigma científico positivista?; (II) A CSC é uma nova ciência ou uma amplificação, através do uso de ferramentas computacionais, dos métodos e teorias já consolidados pelas Ciências Sociais?; (III) As Ciências Sociais correm o risco de se tornarem obsoletas se não adotarem os poderes computacionais de coleta, manipulação, análise, visualização e predição baseadas em dados oferecidos pela CSC? A composição deste Dossiê foi pautada nessas questões epistêmicas e em outras circundantes, procurando dar uma resposta ao desafio de se proporem novas maneiras de se pensar propositiva e criticamente as pesquisas de Ciências Sociais Computacionais, em termos empíricos e teóricos. Além disso, o Dossiê procura também contribuir tanto para a abertura desse novo campo de estudos na área das Ciências Sociais no Brasil, quanto para promover todos os benefícios que pesquisas oriundas dele possam oferecer.
A case study on the usage of social network analysis to complement participant observation on Twitter
Authors: Schüler-Costa Vlad
Published: January 2022

Based on digital ethnography conducted between 2013 and 2015 on the social network service Twitter, this article develops a theoretical-methodological discussion on the usage of data mining and network visualisation as a “quantitative” complement to the “qualitative” approach of participant observation. Starting from a literature review, this article argues that ethnography, from its beginnings, has been open to “quantitative” research. This article also tackles the anthropological origins of terminology and methodology regarding social network analysis, thus recovering the anthropological interest on the subject. Finally, based on an empirical case study, this article shows a possible usage of such methods as a way to enrich ethnographic analysis.

Keywords: social anthropology; digital ethnography; network analysis; methodology.

Resumen

Basado en una etnografía digital conducida entre 2013 y 2015 en el servicio de red social Twitter, este artículo desenvuelve una discusión teórica-metodológica sobre el uso de la minería de datos y la visualización de redes como complemento “cuantitativo” al enfoque “cualitativo” de la observación participante. A partir de una revisión bibliográfica, sostiene que la etnografía, desde sus inicios, ha estado abierta a la investigación “cuantitativa”. Este artículo también aborda los orígenes antropológicos de la terminología y la metodología del análisis de redes sociales, recuperando así el interés antropológico por el tema. Por último, basándose en un estudio de caso empírico, demuestra un posible uso de dichos métodos como forma de enriquecer el análisis etnográfico.

Resumo

Baseado em etnografia digital conduzida entre 2013 e 2015 no serviço de rede social Twitter, este artigo desenvolve uma discussão teórico-metodológica sobre o uso de mineração de dados e visualização de redes como complemento “quantitativo” à abordagem “qualitativa” da observação participante. Partindo de uma revisão bibliográfica, argumenta que a etnografia, desde seus primórdios, esteve aberta a pesquisa “quantitativa”. Este artigo também aborda as origens antropológicas da terminologia e da metodologia de análise de redes sociais, recuperando, portanto, o interesse antropológico no tema. Por fim, baseado em um estudo de caso empírico, demonstra uma possível utilização de tais métodos como forma de enriquecer a análise etnográfica.

Caminhos cruzados: uma possível radicalização do YouTube Gamer
Authors: Kerche Francisco Weichsler , Mendes Miguel Borges
Published: January 2022

O seguinte trabalho procura analisar uma possível politização de vídeos sobre videogames partindo do algoritmo do YouTube, através de uma abordagem metodológica que combina a análise topográfica das redes de recomendação da própria plataforma e uma análise qualitativa de vídeos que poderiam ser responsáveis por ligar o tema a outros mais radicais. A proposta é testar a hipótese de que existe um processo de radicalização política encabeçado pelo algoritmo do YouTube. Ao contrário do que esperávamos, a plataforma se demonstrou muito capaz de dividir tematicamente suas recomendações, havendo pouca penetração de vídeos politizados em nossas extrações. Porém, fomos capazes de identificar estratégias de grupos mais politizados que foram utilizadas para se colocarem em espaços de recomendação.

Palavras-chave: YouTube; radicalização; algoritmos de recomendação; extrema direita.

Abstract

The following article aims to analyse a possible politicization of vídeos about vídeo games based on the YouTube algorithm, through a methodological approach that combines the topographic analysis of the platform’s recommendation networks and qualitative analysis of the videos that could be responsible for linking the theme with more radicalized videos in general. The proposal is to test the hypothesis of a radicalization led by the YouTube algorithm. Contrary to what we expected, the platform proved to be very capable of dividing its recommendations thematically, with little penetration of politicized vídeos in the network. However, strategies of more politicized (and radicalized) groups were used as recommendation paths.

Keywords: YouTube; radicalization; recommendation algorithms; extreme right.

Resumen

El siguiente trabajo busca analizar una posible politización de videos sobre videojuegos basados en el algoritmo de YouTube. Mediante un enfoque metodológico que combina el análisis topográfico de las redes de recomendación de la propia plataforma, y un análisis cualitativo de videos que podrían ser los encargados de vincular el tema con otros más radicales. La propuesta es probar la hipótesis de que existe un proceso de radicalización política liderado por el algoritmo de YouTube. Al contrario de lo que esperábamos, la plataforma demostró ser muy capaz de dividir temáticamente sus recomendaciones, con poca penetración de videos politizados en nuestras extracciones. Sin embargo, se utilizaron estrategias de grupos más politizados para ubicarse entre espacios de recomendación. politizados foram utilizadas para se colocarem entre espaços de recomendação.

Abstract

This paper analyzes the primary emotions and emotional components, which influence social behavior at the individual and collective level and how they affect the study of New Social Movements (NSM). As opposed to the predominant rationalism in analysing these types of social action, the analysis of the role of emotions was chosen. To achieve these objectives, a bibliographic review focuses on the debate between the predominant rationalism in the study of traditional social movements and the approaches that place the role of emotions in the new social movements at the centre of the research. Finally, the new social movements are characterized as forms of action, with some characteristics that differentiate them from traditional movements, mainly because they are identity movements.

Keywords: emotions, new social movements, collective action; social identity.

Os laços sociais afetivos como ponto de inflexão e possibilidade de prevenção às práticas delituosas
Authors: Bacellar Gusthavo Ribeiro
Published: January 2022

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar achados que indiquem a influência do fortalecimento de vínculos familiares, especialmente o casamento/união estável e o nascimento/convívio com filhos, para a interrupção da prática de delitos, utilizando como metodologia a realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas com egressos do sistema prisional, condenados por crimes patrimoniais ou tráfico de drogas. Valendo-se de uma perspectiva interacionista e trabalhando os conceitos de ponto de inflexão e desistência colateral de Laub e Sampson (2003), a pesquisa realizada verifica como a maior integração em sistemas sociais como a família favorece o afastamento de práticas ilícitas.

Palavras-chave: família; controle social; desistência; crime.

Abstract

The study aims to analyze findings that indicate the influence of strengthening family bonds, especially marriage / stable union and birth / living with children, to give up the practice of crimes, using semi-structured interviews with prisoners convicted of property crimes or drug trafficking as a methodology. Using an interactionist perspective and working on the concepts of point of inflection and collateral withdrawal by Laub and Sampson (2003), the research carried out verifies how the greater integration in social systems such as the family favours the removal of illicit practices

Keywords: family; social control; withdrawal; crime.
