A recepção do epos clássico vergiliano no poema sacro e tragicômico Eustachidos, dado como do Frei Manuel de Santa Maria Itaparica
Authors: Ribeiro Leite Leni , Fernandes Nascimento Dreykon
Published: July 2022

O presente artigo propõe-se uma análise do poema sacro e tragicômico Eustachidos, dado como do Frei Manuel de Santa Maria Itaparica, tendo em vista a configuração genérica da obra, segundo preceptistas como Torquato Tasso (1964), Giovanni Savio (1601) e Francisco José Freire (1759), e a sua recepção dos modelos épicos clássicos vergilianos das Geórgicas e da Eneida. Atentos aos sistemas práticos de representação que integravam o campo discursivo do Setecentos américo-português, buscamos soluções retórico-poéticas e teológico-políticas para a definição genérica da obra como sendo sacra e tragicômica e para o decoro das res e dos uerba no poema ao emular ora o modelo épico das Geórgicas, ora o modelo épico da Eneida, pondo em cena operações dinamizadas com a tradição, cujos efeitos representativos acreditamos serem análogos ao de um alexandrinismo já previsto nas composições poéticas clássicas. Cremos que o cuidado com esses resíduos chegados até nós, mas ainda relegados de maiores atenções, é importante na medida em que complexifica o nosso entendimento sobre as práticas letradas do Setecentos américo-português e sobre o funcionamento de seu campo discursivo colonial.
Gazdasági növekedés: mennyi az elég? = Economic growth: how much is enough?
Authors: Gébert Judit
Published: July 2022

E rövid reflexió összefoglalja a GDP mint mérőszám legfontosabb kritikáit; a GDP és jóllét közötti gyenge kapcsolat jellemzőit; az elegendő mennyiség fogalmát; és tisztáz két félreértést a jólléttel kapcsolatos alternatív koncepciókról. Ökológiai közgazdászként nem az a feladatunk, hogy még nagyobb aprólékossággal megmutatjuk a GDP és jólét/jóllét közötti gyenge kapcsolatot, hanem az, hogy részletesebben beszéljünk a jó élet olyan alternatív koncepcióiról, amelyek képesek leváltani a jelenleg uralkodó, anyagi fogyasztás által meghatározott társadalmi berendezkedést.
Van-e érték (és értékelés) a haszonelvű morálfilozófián túl? = Value (and valuation) beyond moral philosophy – a valid idea?
Authors: Kelemen Eszter
Published: July 2022

E kommentár rövid betekintést ad a természet értékelésébe az ökológiai közdazdaságtan uralkodó és mostanában felszínre kerülő megközelítései alapján. Az elmúlt évtizedekben számtalan elméleti újítás és módszertani fejlesztés látott napvilágot, amelyek főként arra irányultak, hogy az uralkodó intézményrendszerbe és döntéshozatali logikába hogyan lehetne becsempészni a természetet mint a döntéshozatal egy meghatározó szempontját. Bár e munka eredményeként mára több olyan döntéstámogató és szakpolitikai eszköz is létezik, amelyik beépíteni próbálja a természet értékét a döntéseinkbe, a döntéshozatal lényegi transzformációja (és világunk fenntarthatóbb pályára állása) mindezidáig elmaradt. Az ökológiai közgazdászok számára az előrelépés a természet-ember viszonyának holisztikusabb megközelítéseiben, a természet értékelésében gyökerező környezeti-társadalmi igazságtalanságok iránti nyitottságban és az értékválasztásokat transzparensen vállaló kutatói és társadalmi szerepvállalásban rejlik.
Queer Turkey
Authors: Poole Ralph J.
Published: July 2022

Before President Erdogan's repressive politics took hold, queer cultures were more visible than ever in Turkey. Queer Turkey offers a broad range of reflections on queer Turkish cultures within a transnational, Euro-American context. Based on his experience in Istanbul, Ralph J. Poole shares his impressions of queer desires between Muslim tradition and global pop, observes what goes on in the hamam, and wonders about Arabesk culture. The book features discussions of queer travel writers, poets, playwrights, and film directors. Their multifarious works manifest the subtle and subversive ways in which artists crisscross the cultural borders of East and West. With its many facets of Turkish-Euro-American cultural interactions, Queer Turkey outlines a kaleidoscope of transnational poetics.
Verknüpfte Modernitäten
Authors: Neubauer Susanne
Published: July 2022

Brasilien gehörte in der Nachkriegszeit zu den aufstrebenden Ländern, mit denen die junge Bundesrepublik kulturpolitische Verbindungen etablierte. Anhand der vielfältigen Modernitätsbestrebungen in Brasilien und Deutschland analysiert und vergleicht Susanne Neubauer die Verflechtungen zwischen Museumspolitiken, (Re-)Demokratisierungsbestrebungen und dem disziplinübergreifenden Diskurs um das Menschenbild nach der Zäsur des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Aus außereuropäischer Perspektive wirft sie einen Blick auf die Wertungen des Menschen in den kulturellen Umwelten und beleuchtet damit Mechanismen der Entwicklung westlicher Kanonisierungen der modernen Kunst.
Widerständige Ressource
Authors: Lüder Ines
Published: July 2022

Ein aktualisierter Blick auf Bauernhäuser offenbart diese als widerständige Ressource - überkommen, aber beeindruckend, voller Geschichte(n), aber nicht immer geschätzt, vermeintlich nicht mehr zeitgemäß und doch charakteristisch für eine Region. Ines Lüder zeigt in diesem Kontext heterogene Praktiken des Gebrauchs und das Ringen um Deutungshoheit auf. Sie erarbeitet anhand der Fachhallen- und Barghäuser der Steinburger Elbmarschen eine Zustandsbeschreibung und typologische Neuordnung. Dabei kontextualisiert sie die mehrdeutigen Gebäude mit ihren Interdependenzen als Bestandteil der Transformation ländlicher Räume und prüft sie auf ihr baukulturelles Potenzial für künftige Weiterentwicklung.
WENN WIR ÜBERLEBEN WOLLEN
Authors: Bürklin Thorsten , Peterek Michael , Reichardt Jürgen
Published: July 2022

Thorsten Bürklin, Michael Peterek und Jürgen Reichardt fordern, die Architektur in die Verantwortung zu nehmen. Vor hundert Jahren war die Moderne davon beseelt, ein besseres Bauen zu verwirklichen: Das Ziel war es, Licht, Luft und Sonne für das Wohnen und Arbeiten aller Menschen zu garantieren. Diese Aufgabe bleibt mit Blick auf ungenügende Lebensbedingungen weltweit auf drastische Weise aktuell. Es ist jedoch höchste Zeit, dieser Forderung eine weitere hinzuzufügen: Architektur muss im Einklang mit dem Schutz der Natur und den jeweils regionalen gesellschaftlichen und klimatischen Gegebenheiten realisiert werden. Aufrichtigkeit ist gefragt: Es ist höchste Zeit, dass wir Lehrenden Verantwortung zeigen.
Risikodemokratie
Authors: Brichzin Jenni , Laux Henning , Bohmann Ulf
Published: July 2022

Die rechtsradikalen Ausschreitungen 2018 in Chemnitz werfen grundlegende demokratietheoretische Fragen auf: Welche Gefahren drohen von Rechts? Wie wird eine ganze Stadt zum politischen Risikogebiet? Und was bedeutet die Präsenz riskanter Politisierung und Entpolitisierung für unsere Demokratie? Die Autor*innen illustrieren entlang ethnografischer Streifzüge, wie eine apolitische Mitte der radikalen Rechten immer wieder den öffentlichen Raum überlässt. Die Rechtsextremen breiten sich in diesem Vakuum aus und reklamieren demokratische Grundrechte für sich, um sie gleichzeitig abzuschaffen. Als Kulturhauptstadt 2025 muss sich Chemnitz im Umgang mit diesem demokratischen Risiko bewähren.
Strukturbrüche und Corona

Die deutsche Volkwirtschaft steht nicht nur bei der Bewältigung der Pandemiefolgen, sondern auch durch die beschleunigte Dekarbonisierung der Wertschöpfung, die Digitalisierung der Geschäftsprozesse, den verschärften demografischen Wandel und einige Tendenzen zu De-Globalisierung, Lieferkettenbeschränkungen und Protektionismus vor strukturellen Herausforderungen. Im Kern werden diese nur mit neuen Technologien, weiterentwickelten sowie neuen Geschäftsmodellen und zusätzlichen privaten und öffentlichen Investitionen zu bewältigen sein, um Wertschöpfung und Beschäftigung in Deutschland halten und die Pandemiefolgen generationengerecht finanzieren zu können.

Mapear memorias: lxs estudiantes en el ex BIM 3
Authors: Paganini Mariana , Codaro Laura
Published: July 2022

El presente trabajo se configura como una propuesta pedagógica para que distintxs estudiantes secundarios de la región conozcan y visiten el predio del ex BIM 3. La misma se enmarca en las políticas universitarias de promoción de la memoria que tienen puntualmente en este caso la Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educación y la Facultad de Psicología de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata, instituciones que funcionan en este espacio desde 2012 y 2014 respectivamente. Desde entonces se realizan diferentes iniciativas para dar a conocer la historia del lugar, entre las que se destacan las guías para ingresantes, que distan de la actual propuesta, por ello se constituye como “prueba piloto”. Se plantea una serie de recorridos por el lugar, que se desarrollan en el marco de unas jornadas, así como también se presentan diferentes actividades y materiales entre los que se destaca una hoja de ruta que sirve de guía. De esta manera, se forja un dispositivo pedagógico original y novedoso, para que las nuevas generaciones se acerquen a la historia y las memorias del BIM 3 a través de su propia experiencia como hacedores del mapeo por este sitio de memoria, a la vez que reflexionen, dialoguen, produzcan sentidos que puedan ser compartidos con otrxs.

El «preso-emprendedor». Responsabilización y co-gobierno en la prisión de Punta de Rieles en Uruguay
Authors: Avila Fernando , Sozzo Máximo
Published: July 2022

Este artículo se centra en el «preso-emprendedor» como agente en las relaciones de gobierno en una prisión de varones en Montevideo, Uruguay. Se trata de Punta de Rieles, una prisión atípica en la que la responsabilización de los presos juega un papel fundamental como estrategia de gobierno desplegada por las autoridades y agentes estatales para responsabilizar a los reclusos de desarrollar, con amplios niveles de autonomía, una gama abierta de actividades promovidas oficialmente. Entre ellas destaca la producción de bienes y servicios. La mayoría de estas actividades se generan a partir de iniciativas de los presos. Para obtener la autorización y el apoyo de las autoridades penitenciarias para llevarla a cabo, se anima a los privados de libertad a diseñar el proyecto de actividad productiva y redactar una solicitud formal. Este «preso-emprendedor» ocupa una posición singular en la población de esta institución carcelaria. Está sujeto a responsabilización, se le pide que haga un «uso positivo» del tiempo y que desarrolle formas de autogobierno. Sin embargo, simultáneamente, como «empleador" de otros presos, se convierten y actúa como agente de gobierno y estructura el campo de acción del «preso-empleado». A su vez, este rol gubernamental implica toda una serie de relaciones colaborativas, pero también conflictivas con los agentes estatales, especialmente con los guardias. Este trabajo aborda la peculiar posición del «preso-empresario» en cuanto a su rol gubernamental y sus vínculos con los agentes del Estado, como forma única de gobierno en esta prisión no tradicional latinoamericana.
Medios, jóvenes y fuerzas de seguridad. El tratamiento mediático de casos de violencia policial durante la pandemia en el Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires
Authors: Fernández Mariana Cecilia , Manrique Rodrigo , Muñoz Marcos
Published: July 2022

Este artículo analiza el tratamiento mediático de casos de hostigamiento y homicidio producidos por policías y gendarmes hacia jóvenes durante la pandemia por Covid-19 en el Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires. Se trata de identificar cómo se caracterizan las circunstancias particulares en que suceden estos acontecimientos, los roles y responsabilidades atribuidas a sus protagonistas en los principales medios digitales del país. Para ello, el abordaje metodológico combina técnicas cuantitativas y cualitativas. En primer lugar, sistematizamos la totalidad de casos mediatizados de violencia policial  entre marzo de 2020 y marzo de 2021. En segundo lugar, a partir de la selección de un conjunto de casos paradigmáticos, analizamos la cobertura informativa sobre las modalidades de intervención de las fuerzas de seguridad en Clarín, La Nación, Página 12 e Infobae. Algunos resultados nos permiten afirmar que el tratamiento informativo de casos de homicidio producidos por agentes policiales se legitimó en los medios a partir de argumentos vinculados a la transgresión de la víctima de las medidas de control para el cumplimiento de la cuarentena, a diferencia de los casos de hostigamiento en que los medios denunciaron la violencia policial por exceder los marcos de las medidas de aislamiento social preventivo y obligatorio.
Recrear y reinventar la extensión universitaria a partir de otros fundamentos y realidades. Inspiraciones desde el centenario del nacimiento de Paulo Freire
Authors: Jara Holliday Oscar
Published: July 2022

La crisis producida por la pandemia de COVID–19 en nuestra región latinoamericana y caribeña ha agudizado las situaciones de desigualdad que veníamos padeciendo en las últimas décadas. Así, la pugna entre distintos modelos de sociedad y la polarización social, política e ideológica, se han incrementado y colocado nuevos desafíos al quehacer y misión de las universidades y, en particular, a los programas y proyectos de extensión universitaria. La extensión o acción social crítica aparece en este contexto como una propuesta innovadora que retoma una concepción de universidad comprometida, que tiene sus antecedentes en la Reforma Universitaria de Córdoba hace más de un siglo y también una fuente de inspiración en el pensamiento de Paulo Freire y su experiencia pionera en la Secretaría de Extensión Cultural de la Universidad de Recife en los años sesenta. Los aportes de la filosofía educativa Freireana adquieren renovada vigencia ante la necesidad de recrear y reinventar la extensión universitaria en los nuevos tiempos.
RESOLUSI KONFLIK KEAGAMAAN BERBASIS KEARIFAN LOKAL: STUDI ATAS PELA GANDONG DI AMBON
Authors: Ismail Roni , Wakano Abidin , Leasiwal Genoveva
Published: July 2022

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran pela gandong sebagai resolusi konflik kultural dalam konflik Ambon 1999-2002. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan sosiologi konflik, teori reolusi konflik kultural, serta metode pengumpulan data observasi dan wawancara dengan warga Ambon Muslim dan Kristen, tulisan ini menemukan bahwa, pertama, etnosentrisme merupakan penyebab kultural utama konflik Ambon, dan, kedua, konflik Ambon diselesaikan dan kedamaian terbangun kokoh melalui resolusi konflik kultural pela gandong. Dengan nilai-nilai luhur utamanya persaudaraan, persamaan, kesetaraan, kebersamaan dan toleransi, pela gandong sangat efektif menjadi resolusi konflik kultural baik selama konflik Ambon terjadi, paska konflik maupun dalam membina damai hingga kini. Selama konflik Ambon terjadi, tidak ditemukan adanya konflik antara negeri-negeri Muslim dan Kristen yang terikat pela gandong. Paska konflik terjadi, pela gandong menjadi fondasi resolusi konflik kultural dalam membangun kembali perdamaian, menguatkan kapasitas warga Ambon “dari dalam”; membangun kembali hubungan mereka yang sempat retak; menegaskan kembali nilai bersaudara sesama orang Maluku; mengajarkan saling mengakui perbedaan agama dan budaya; mempercepat pemulihan dari trauma konflik; merajut kembali persaudaraan salam sarane; dan membangun saling percaya antara negeri-negeri Muslim dan Kristen. Sedangkan dalam proses bina damai hingga kini, pela gandong juga diakui warga Ambon efektif menangkal “tangan-tangan luar” yang terus mencoba mengeskalasikan kembali konflik karena setiap negeri di Ambon sudah ber-pela gandong dengan satu negeri.
Text, Voice-notes, and Emojis: Exploring the use of WhatsApp as a responsive research method for qualitative studies
Authors: Mwanda Ziyanda
Published: July 2022

Unprecedented times are upon us and the need for ethically responsive online research methods is increasing exponentially. Currently, literature is showing that previously frowned upon methods such as the use of social media continue to offer solutions to traditional research challenges in times of COVID-19 and beyond. This paper describes how the features of WhatsApp were used to respond to the needs of geographically dispersed, working study participants. Tronto’s Ethics of Care framework is employed as a lens to place emphasis on the elements of care this emerging method offers. Participants and the researcher reflected on the high level of responsiveness WhatsApp offered as a method and the drawbacks are also discussed. In conclusion, this paper offers a list of recommendations that researchers need to take into account when using WhatsApp as a method in a context-sensitive manner.
Beyond heteronormativity towards social justice: Disrupting gender operationalisation in teaching and learning trends in higher education
Authors:   University of Johannesburg, McDonald Zahraa , Motala Shireen
Published: July 2022

Quantitative approaches, based on numerical analyses of operationalised variables, used to present teaching and learning trends in higher education, are pervasive. However, teaching and learning trends disaggregated by gender are generally collected and/or reported according to a binary operationalisation. The gender binary is associated with heteronormative dispositions. This paper examines the extent to which gender operationalisation, as it relates specifically to teaching and learning trends in South Africa, promotes heteronormative dispositions and the consequent implications for social justice. Framed within Nancy Fraser’s approach to social justice, heteronormative dispositions constitute misrecognition and hence injustice. Based on a review of data gathering and reporting on teaching and learning trends by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET), it is clear that, at present, non-binary expressions or analyses of gender are misrecognised. The paper argues that gender operationalisation associated with trends in teaching and learning contributes to heteronormative dispositions that are not commensurate with social justice. It calls for the disruption of binary gender operationalisation linked to teaching and learning trends as a mechanism for full recognition and socially just knowledge production. This paper does not focus on research in a moment of social disruption but rather seeks to disrupt research processes which could be exclusionary and promote injustice, and thus interrupt socially-unjust representations, specifically as it relates to gender.
"Notes on Exterminism" for the Twenty-First-Century Ecology and Peace Movements

Published: July 2022

In 1980, the great English historian and Marxist theorist E. P. Thompson wrote the pathbreaking essay "Notes on Exterminism, the Last Stage of Civilization." Although the world has undergone a number of significant changes since, Thompson's essay remains a useful starting point in approaching the central contradictions of our times, characterized by the planetary ecological crisis, COVID-19 pandemic, New Cold War, and current "empire of chaos"—all arising from features deeply embedded in the contemporary capitalist political economy.

As a mode of technology mediated communication, the advent and development of social media has provided a vast array of interaction, which may lead to the attainment of understanding between public and government. Using Kent & Taylor’s model on dialogic two-way models, an organization could deliver an effective, sophisticated, and effective public relation programs using social media. Social media plays a significant role in providing avenues for such a high degree interaction. A successful public relation campaign, in the end, would contribute greatly in an organization’s efforts to manage its image. This article is aimed at providing elaboration on ways through which a government institution could effectively utilize social media in its public relations campaign, using a qualitative descriptive approach. This article found that the degree of social media utilization by a government institution would very much be depended on their respective social media adoption stage.
The Populist Leaders’ Affinity Towards Alternative Media on Facebook in Slovakia
Authors: Školkay Andrej , Daniš Igor
Published: July 2022

This study explored the personal-ideological affiliation of selected populist leaders to alternative media based on their permanent “liking” on Facebook. It was found that the assumption that populist leaders “like” (both figuratively and literally) alternative media is incorrect. Boris Kollár, Speaker of the Parliament and one of the most active politicians on Facebook, did not use the button “like” at all, while Igor Matovič, then the Prime Minister of Slovakia, selected and “liked” some pages, but he preferred quality mainstream liberal news media. The electoral system’s specifics may help explain why populist politicians play a key role in their movements and why social media are so helpful for them in this process.
Ograniczenie roli parlamentu w Rosji po objęciu władzy przez Władimira Putina
Authors: Kołodziejski Konrad
Published: July 2022

Niniejszy artykuł omawia reformy prawa wyborczego oraz prawa o partiach politycznych przeprowadzone w Rosji podczas pierwszych dwóch kadencji Władimira Putina (2000–2008). Reformy te miały kluczowe znaczenie dla ukształtowania obecnego systemu politycznego w Rosji, który jest oparty na państwowej reglamentacji działalności partii politycznych oraz instytucjonalizacji życia społecznego. Charakterystycznymi cechami tego systemu są dominacja partii władzy w systemie partyjnym i marginalizacja opozycji. Prowadzi to do ograniczenia mechanizmów społecznej kontroli władzy i utraty znaczenia przez parlament na rzecz władzy wykonawczej, a w szczególności prezydenta. Spełnianie roli politycznego zaplecza dla działań Kremla stało się głównym czynnikiem przesądzającym o dopuszczeniu partii do czynnego udziału w życiu politycznym kraju. Jedną z konsekwencji tego stanu rzeczy jest polityczna marginalizacja Dumy Państwowej, która zamiast być miejscem ścierania się odmiennych interesów społecznych, stała się „maszynką” do głosowania kolejnych projektów ustaw podsuwanych przez obóz rządzący. Wszystko to zostało zapewnione przy zachowaniu zewnętrznych atrybutów demokratycznego państwa, takich jak system wielopartyjny i wybory.

Published: July 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic brought with it a significant effect on professional associations’ ability to carry on their normal activities in forging professional competence among their members. We assess Nigerian professional accounting and finance associations’ response and coping pattern as well as readiness to sustain members’ professional competence in an emergency.

Using a two-pronged approach, we reviewed activities – response and coping patterns – of professional associations in Nigeria. First, we crawl their online presence (websites and social media handles) for activities relating to initial and continuing professional development. Secondly, we administered a questionnaire to aspiring professionals and professionals to understand from an insider point of view the activities of their professional association in sustaining their professional competence.

Aspiring professionals and professionals believe their professional associations can guide them through the pandemic and emerge stronger, however there are mild concerns. We also found that Zoom is the application of choice for virtual events among professionals in Nigeria.

The paper provides evidence-based realities among the major accounting and finance-based professional associations, giving insight to inform policy and strategy going forward.

Published: July 2022

Studies about higher education management tend to ignore the analysis of career development of higher education administrators and the factors affecting their decision to accept or not to accept the position. However; the factors affecting the administrators to accept the position not only determine their management styles but also affect the quality of education. The purpose of this study is to examine the organizational and personal factors affecting the career development of higher education administrators. Organizational factors include economic and political/ideological factors whereas personal factors include educational, sociological and physiological/psychological factors. Qualitative research design was chosen in conducting this study. An interview form with 5 related questions was used. Within this context, 14 head of department from 3 foundation universities in Turkey who worked during 2017-2018 school year constituted the study group, interviews were made. According to results revealed by the study, while political/ideological, educational and physiological/psychological factors affect the career development of higher education administrators, economical and sociological factors do not affect their career development.

Univariate-ANOVAs were performed to explore differences in skills among demographics. Also hypothesizes that there is no difference between the different secondary schools in the six skills. The results show that there is a significant difference among the students’ perceptions of four of the six skills. Also revealed that the attitudes of elite public-school teachers were the highest, followed by the private school and, finally, the public school. This study Highlighted skills items of students’ scientific branch that should be emphasized in the secondary curriculum to enhance the transitions to universities.
Plumbing the depths: reading Bhavabhūti in seventeenth-century Kerala
Authors: Ollett Andrew , Venkatkrishnan Anand
Published: July 2022

Nārāyaṇa, a student of Mēlputtūr Nārāyaṇa Bhaṭṭa, wrote a commentary on Rāma’s Last Act (Uttararāmacaritam) by Bhavabhūti that “must be counted among the more careful and perceptive ever produced for a Sanskrit play” (Pollock). This essay examines the ways in which Nārāyaṇa related local meanings (of words, phrases, sentences, and verses) to the themes of the play as a whole, which Nārāyaṇa called its “deeper meanings.” Nārāyaṇa belongs to a tradition of literary commentary in Kerala that combined a sensitivity to and appreciation for dramatic art with deep scholarly knowledge. His attention to the complex emotions of the play’s characters, and to the development of heart-rending motifs—reliving the past, betrayed intimacy, the involution and intensification of experience—allows readers to appreciate Bhavabhūti’s play as one of the greatest portrayals of the experience of love in world literature.
Permitting the Compensation of Birth Mothers for Adoption Expenses and its Impact on Adoptions
Authors: Wallace Cullen T.
Published: July 2022

For seven decades, states have passed legislation to regulate the exchange of funds in the adoption process by either enabling or prohibiting prospective adoptive parents from compensating a matched birth mother for adoption-related expenses. In 1940, no state codes contained provisions for adoption compensation. By the mid-1980s, nearly half of states had passed such legislation, and today, 45 states have such laws. Leveraging this variation in state adoption laws governing compensation, I estimate how the allowance of monetary transfers affects the number of infant adoptions in a two-stage difference-in-differences framework. Results indicate that the number of private infant adoptions is not affected by the passage of such laws, and estimates are robust across multiple specifications. The findings suggesting that non-fiscal concerns or uncertainty in the matching process may overshadow potential compensation of medical, legal, or living expenses.
Causal inference in AI education: A primer
Authors: Forney Andrew , Mueller Scott
Published: July 2022

The study of causal inference has seen recent momentum in machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in the domains of transfer learning, reinforcement learning, automated diagnostics, and explainability (among others). Yet, despite its increasing application to address many of the boundaries in modern AI, causal topics remain absent in most AI curricula. This work seeks to bridge this gap by providing classroom-ready introductions that integrate into traditional topics in AI, suggests intuitive graphical tools for the application to both new and traditional lessons in probabilistic and causal reasoning, and presents avenues for instructors to impress the merit of climbing the “causal hierarchy” to address problems at the levels of associational, interventional, and counterfactual inference. Finally, this study shares anecdotal instructor experiences, successes, and challenges integrating these lessons at multiple levels of education.

Der Tankrabatt: Haben die Mineralölkonzerne die Steuersenkung an die Kunden weitergegeben?
Authors: Fuest Clemens , Neumeier Florian , Stöhlker Daniel
Published: July 2022

Im vorliegenden Beitrag untersuchen Clemens Fuest, Florian Neumeier und Daniel Stöhlker die Auswirkungen des Tankrabatts auf die Preise für Superbenzin und Diesel an deutschen Tankstellen. Die Preiseffekte werden auf Basis eines Differenz-in-Differenzen-Ansatzes geschätzt, in dem Frankreich als Kontrollgruppe dient. Den Ergebnissen zufolge wurde der Tankrabatt im Fall von Diesel zu 100 Prozent an die Autofahrerinnen und Autofahrer weitergegeben. Im Fall von Superbenzin beträgt die Weitergabe 85 Prozent. Dass die Preise dennoch nicht dauerhaft gesunken sind, hat andere als steuerliche Gründe. Aus diesen Ergebnissen folgt aus Sicht der Autoren jedoch nicht, dass der Tankrabatt wirtschaftspolitisch eine sinnvolle Antwort auf die steigenden Energiepreise ist. Er setze das falsche Preissignal und komme vorwiegend Haushalten zugute, die überdurchschnittlich hohe Einkommen erzielen. Außerdem erhöhe er die Nachfrage nach Kraftstoffen und stehe damit im Konflikt zu ökologischen Zielen.

This study focusses on the synthesis of polyaniline (PANI) and polyaniline base adsorbent utilizing Citrus limon leaves (CL) powder. The polyaniline base adsorbent with C. limon was synthesized using the same process as polyaniline synthesis, but with the addition of leaves powder. PANI and PANI based adsorbent with C. limon leaves powder (PANI/CL) were characterized by Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR), UV-Visible spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). This synthesized material was employed for the removal of congo red (CR) dye from industrial wastewater. Furthermore, the Langmuir, Temkin and Freundlich isotherms were also applied to evaluate experimental results. PANI is an efficient adsorbent for CR removal with 71.9 mg/g, while PANI/CL is an efficient adsorbent with 80 mg/g removal of dye according to a comparison of maximal adsorption capabilities. The data concludes that the prepared adsorbents could possibly be employed for the removal of toxic dyes from industrial effluents at large scale and ultimately could help in improving the environment.

Perri, T, Reid, M, Murphy, A, Howle, K, and Duffield, R. Determining stroke and movement profiles in competitive tennis match-play from wearable sensor accelerometry. J Strength Cond Res 37(6): 1271–1276, 2023—This study determined stroke and movement accelerometry metrics from a wearable sensor and compared between court surface (grass vs. hard) and match outcome (win vs. loss) during competitive tennis match-play. Eight junior high-performance tennis players wore a trunk-mounted global positioning system, with in-built accelerometer, magnetometer, and gyroscope during singles matches on hard and grass courts. The manufacturer software calculated accelerometer-derived total player load (tPL). A prototype algorithm classified forehands, backhands, serves, and “other” strokes, thereby calculating stroke PL (sPL) from individual strokes. Movement PL (mPL) was calculated as the difference between tPL and sPL, with all metrics reported as absolute and relative (min−1, %, and ·stroke). Analysis of accelerometer load and stroke count metrics was performed through a two-way (surface [grass vs. hard] × match outcome [win vs. loss]) analysis of variance (p < 0.05) and effect sizes (Cohen's d). No interaction effects for surface and match outcome existed for absolute tPL, mPL, and sPL (p > 0.05). Increased mPL% featured on grass courts, whereas sPL% was increased on hard courts (p = 0.04, d = 1.18[0.31–2.02]). Elevated sPL·min−1 existed on hard courts (p = 0.04, d = 1.19[0.32–2.04]), but no differences in tPL·min−1 and mPL·min−1 were evident for surface or outcome (p > 0.05). Relative forehand sPL (FH-sPL·min−1) was higher on hard courts (p = 0.03, d = 1.18[0.31–2.02]) alongside higher forehand counts (p = 0.01, d = 1.29[0.40–2.14]). Hitting demands are heightened on hard courts from increased sPL and counts. Conversely, increased mPL% on grass courts likely reflects the specific movement demands from point-play. Physical preparation strategies during training blocks can be tailored toward movement or hitting loads to suit competitive surfaces.

Edwards, T, Weakley, J, Woods, CT, Breed, R, Benson, AC, Suchomel, TJ, and Banyard, HG. Comparison of countermovement jump and squat jump performance between 627 state and non-state representative junior Australian football players. J Strength Cond Res 37(3): 641–645, 2023—This cross-sectional study investigated differences in lower-body power of state and nonstate representative junior Australian football (AF) players through countermovement jump (CMJ) and squat jump (SJ) performance. A total of 627 players performed the CMJ and SJ at the end of the preseason phase over a 2-week period, with each player grouped according to their age (under 18 [U18] or under 16 [U16]), and highest competition level played (state representation and nonstate representation). One-way multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), follow up ANOVA's, and Cohen's d effect sizes were used to identify significant main effects and between-group differences. Statistical significance was set at α < 0.05. Significant small-to-moderate effect size differences were observed between competition level, with state U18 and U16 players recording greater CMJ and SJ height, and peak power (PP), compared with their nonstate representative peers, respectively. Similarly, significant small-to-moderate effect size differences existed between age groups, with nonstate U18 players recording greater CMJ and SJ height and PP than nonstate U16 counterparts. However, state U18 and state U16 only differed in CMJ PP. No differences were found between competition level or age groups for the difference between CMJ and SJ jump height (CMJSJdiff). Together, these findings suggest that state and nonstate representative junior AFs may have a similar ability to use the stretch-shortening cycle, despite state representative players jumping higher in the CMJ and SJ.

Lambrianides, Y, Epro, G, Smith, K, Mileva, K, James, D, and Karamanidis, K. Impact of different mechanical and metabolic stimuli on the temporal dynamics of muscle strength adaptation. J Strength Cond Res 36(11): 3246–3255, 2022—A fundamental task in exercise physiology is to determine and ultimately improve the adaptations that take place in the human body, an integrated network of various physiological systems, for example, muscle, tendon, and bone. Investigating the temporal dynamics (time course) of adaptations in these diverse systems may help us gain new knowledge about the functioning of the neuromotor system in healthy and pathological conditions. The aim of this review was to explore the temporal dynamics of muscular strength adaptations in studies implementing a resistance training intervention. In addition, we categorized these studies under mechanical or metabolic stimuli to identify whether certain stimuli cause faster muscle strength gains. Searches were performed using PubMed and Google Scholar databases. The review comprised 708 subjects from 57 training groups within 40 studies that met the inclusion criteria. The results revealed that the mean time point of first significant increase in muscle strength of all studies was 4.3 weeks, and the corresponding increase was on average about 17%. A plateau in muscle strength increase (∼25%) was found to occur between weeks 8 and 12. Categorization into stimuli groups revealed that performing training in a hypoxic environment is likely to produce a leftward shift (∼25% increase at ∼2.8 weeks) in the dose-response relationship compared with blood flow restriction and supplementation. However, stimuli that cause faster muscle strength gains may also induce imbalanced adaptation between the muscle and the surrounding biological structures, potentially triggering a degradation in some parts of the network (i.e., leading to an increased risk of injury).
