Authors: Rivelli Malco Juan Pablo , Zabala Blanco David
Published: October 2022

Las telecomunicaciones actualmente proveen soluciones en múltiples ámbitos y constituyen una de las bases que impulsan a la evolución de la sociedad aportando nuevas tecnologías y permitiendo que se encuentren nuevas soluciones a problemáticas sociales en general. El trabajo propone un sistema de comunicaciones que encuentra su aplicación en el diagnóstico por imágenes médicas, siendo el objetivo del sistema lograr la detección de anomalías en las mamas, con un alto nivel de precisión permitiendo de esta manera que se elaboren diagnósticos en etapas tempranas de un potencial cáncer de mamas.

El sistema es modelado de forma teórica y simulado con la ayuda de cálculos computacionales brindados por la herramienta de programación Matlab®. La solución reúne características de diferentes tecnologías y estándares que fueron combinados para modelar un sistema eficiente que cumpla con los requerimientos y funciones necesarios para constituir una propuesta factible y viable para su futura implementación.

La principal contribución de este trabajo se refleja en los resultados experimentales mediante la aplicación del método FDTD donde se evidencia como un tejido maligno (tumor) refleja en mayor proporción la potencia que incide sobre dicha región, en comparación con el sano compuesto por tejido fibroconectivo, glandular y adiposo. Se destaca también la eficiencia espectral y energética de los sistemas OFDM, características que inciden directamente sobre el grado de calidad del sistema. Por último, se realiza una simulación de la formación de imagen mediante la aplicación de un novedoso método de filtrado espacial bajo el concepto de beamforming.
Los Los procesos de evaluación, acreditación, calidad e innovación en el ámbito de la universidad argentina en la década de 1990
Authors: Jorge Navarro Marcelo Gastón
Published: October 2022

En las tres últimas décadas, los diversos sistemas de educación superior latinoamericanos han tenido fuertes procesos de fragmentación y diversificación en su oferta y en su organización. La educación superior en el continente, muestra marcadas desigualdades en diversas dimensiones como lo son el acceso y permanencia, la incorporación de nuevos contenidos curriculares, la atención de diversos grupos y sectores sociales históricamente marginados, la formación docente y la incorporación de las tecnologías de información y comunicación, entre otras.

En este contexto se hace necesario pensar el nivel superior desde varias dimensiones que permitan comprender los procesos históricos que marcaron el devenir de las universidades en la región en general, y en Argentina en particular.

El siguiente ensayo pretende analizar algunos aspectos históricos que marcaron la reconfiguración de la educación superior en los 90, principalmente en relación a la incorporación de los procesos de evaluación y acreditación, y la importancia de su vinculación con los conceptos de calidad e innovación en el marco de las transformaciones neoliberales de fines del siglo XX.
Formación docente en educación superior: configuraciones de la didáctica en un profesorado de artes
Authors: Figueroa Norma Cristina
Published: October 2022

Este ensayo refiere a las configuraciones de la didáctica según campos de formación situada. Desde la posición de profesora de Didáctica General en la formación docente artística, la autora se pregunta: ¿qué se enseña, para qué se enseña y cómo se enseña en la didácticadisciplinar?, ¿cuáles son los puntos de encuentro, desencuentro, relaciones y tensiones en las configuraciones de la didáctica, donde se ponen en juego el saber didáctico, disciplinar y tecnológico? La didáctica es una disciplina que se ocupa de la compleja práctica de la enseñanza. En su constitución se reconocen aportes fundacionales de la psicología, el currículum y múltiples disciplinas de diversos campos de conocimiento, con las que se relaciona y se tensiona.En la práctica de la enseñanza de la didáctica emergen actuaciones que develan el pensar y el sentir de posturas dicotómicas entre los campos de formación general y específica. Ponerlas en diálogo constructivo es el desafío hacia una didáctica de la diversidad que sume al campo de la práctica profesionalizante.

Tecnologías agroforestales para la adaptación y mitigación al cambio climático
Authors: Palma García José Manuel , Torres Rivera José Antonio , Valdés Velarde Eduardo
Published: October 2022

El trabajo colectivo es el sello que hemos impuesto en la publicación de los últimos tres libros que coordinamos y en esta cuarta propuesta no puede ser la excepción. Además, por el tema elegido que combina las tecnologías de tipo agroforestal como herramienta para enfrentar el cambio climático, en México, resulta de vital importancia mantener ese enfoque. Esto permitió que participaran 66 autores adscritos a 19 instituciones de diferentes regiones o estados del territorio mexicano. El enfoque desarrollado implicó la propuesta de tecnologías silvopastoriles o agrosilvopastoriles que evidenciaran mecanismos de adaptación, mitigación o ambas opciones para enfrentar el cambio climático. Al respecto, el primer capítulo es introductorio para entender a la agroforestería y su aportación a la adaptación y mitigación al cambio climático, en México. El resto de los capítulos se dividen de la siguiente manera: siete sobre adaptación, en donde cuatro son de tipo agrosilvopastoriles y tres silvopastoril; en relación a la mitigación sólo se presentaron dos que corresponden a tecnologías silvopastoriles y, fi¬nalmente, con la combinación de adaptación y mitigación se lograron conjuntar cinco tecnologías, una de tipo agrosilvopastoril y cuatro silvopastoril. Por lo tanto, este libro es una muestra de lo que existe en México sobre el tema y esperamos que sirva de incentivo para que otros colegas e instituciones aborden este tipo de propuesta y muestren sus aportes en tecnologías agroforestales.
APAKAH BANK ISLAM MALAYSIA MENGELOLA PENGHASILAN DENGAN PROFIT EQUALIZATION RESERVE?
Authors: Nissa Izzun Khoirun
Published: October 2022

Income management is not an important factor for PER, because the EBTZP variable is not significant. Future studies need to examine how PER affects capital regulation. The findings of this study indicate that Islamic Banks use PER and IRR to stabilize profits. Although there is empirical evidence on PER behavior and IRR allowance by Islamic Bank institutions, evidence from other financial institutions is still scarce. Based on this research, in the case of Malaysia, there are other institutions that offer Islamic financial products and services, namely developing financial institutions such as Agro Bank, SME Bank, National Savings Bank. These results indicate that Bank Malaysia does not equalize income over time using PER, and in this study it is shown that income management is not an important factor in PER.

FIRST SKELETAL REMAINS OF HELVETICOSAURUS FROM THE MIDDLE TRIASSIC ITALIAN OUTCROPS OF THE SOUTHERN ALPS, WITH REMARKS ON AN ISOLATED TOOTH
Authors: BINDELLINI GABRIELE , DAL SASSO CRISTIANO
Published: October 2022

The enigmatic marine reptile Helveticosaurus zollingeri, from the Middle Triassic Besano Formation of Monte San Giorgio, is known from three specimens found in Swiss territory. This paper describes the first skeletal remains of this taxon recovered from the corresponding Italian outcrops of Besano (Varese). An isolated tooth assigned to the same taxon and coming from the San Salvatore Dolomite, Rasa di Varese (Varese), is also redescribed herein. The skeletal remains have been CT scanned to inspect the preserved morphology of the bones hidden below the surface; CT data also allowed the identification of an associated ammonoid which has been crucial to determine the stratigraphic position of the studied material. The redescription of the tooth has been helped by a digital model of the specimen obtained through photogrammetry. With the additional new data obtained from the two specimens, the first skeletal reconstruction of Helveticosaurus is provided. This is followed by a phylogenetic test of the taxon, assessing its position among marine Triassic diapsids. Finally, in the light of recent studies we discuss the swimming mode and the possible ecological niche occupied by the animal: we suggest a distinction between the function of forelimbs and hindlimbs, and a distinction between different swimming styles likely performed by Helveticosaurus, depending on the speed of movements.
The frequency of spring harvest and row distance affect the seed and forage production of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) under irrigated Mediterranean conditions
Authors: Chocarro Cristina , Maresma Angel , Lloveras Jaume
Published: October 2022

Aim of study: The effect of the number of spring harvests (1 or 2) for forage before letting alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) grow for seed, combined with three different row distances, on seed production was evaluated over a three-year period.
Area of study: Irrigated Mediterranean environment (NE Spain).
Material and methods: Seed yield, forage production and seed weight were evaluated, as well as final plant stands and the economic implications of different decisions.
Main results: The study revealed significant differences (p < 0.01) in seed yield between the number of forage harvests prior to letting the crop grow for seed in two of the three years of the study, with an overall average of 500 kg ha-1 for one spring harvest and 450 kg ha-1 for two spring harvests, but with significant differences associated with row distance in two of the three years. The average annual production of forage was 8.08 Mg of dry matter (DM) ha-1 for the case of two spring harvests and 7.57 Mg for one, with significant differences in one of the three years. Row distances of 20, 40 and 60 cm did not significantly affect forage DM production although, on average, higher forage yields were achieved with narrow row distances. From an economic point of view, our results suggest that the 1-harvest treatment before letting alfalfa grow for seed is slightly more profitable than the 2-harvest treatment (higher gross margin of about 54.5 € ha-1).
Research highlights: Under irrigated Mediterranean conditions, alfalfa harvested only once in spring before letting the crop grow for seed production maximizes the gross margin.
Novel draught resistance sensing elements for measurement of drawbar power of agricultural machinery
Authors: Upadhyay Ganesh , Raheman Hifjur , Dubey Rashmi
Published: October 2022

Aim of study: To develop an instrumentation system comprising three force sensing elements to measure the draught resistance of any tillage and seeding tools during field operation by connecting one sensing element to each three-point linkage of the tractor.
Area of study: Department of AgFE, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India
Material and methods: Commercial S-type transducers were packed laterally in between the curved plates perpendicular to the direction of travel in such a way that the magnitude of the imposed force decreased and its nature got reversed consequently during tillage force measurement. Finite element analysis was also performed on the proposed model of the sensing elements. The performance was evaluated on the basis of non-linearity, hysteresis, and non-repeatability. The data were validated with the draught values simultaneously recorded using instrumented three-point linkages of tractor.
Main results: It offered good sensitivity and linearity during static calibration. The measurement capacity based on maximum applied load during static calibration was 10 kN with accuracy 93.40%. The low values of mean percentage error (9.03%), maximum absolute variation (17.43%), and root mean square error (0.51 kN) revealed good accuracy of the system. Validation was conducted by comparing the data for an offset type disk harrow with the model outputs of previous studies to assess its suitability for other soil working conditions, and the results were satisfactory.
Research highlights: The advantages of this sensing device in the measurement of drawbar power are fewer changes in the hitching geometry, lower cost, and capability of quick hitching.
The Ellis Island Experience: Through the Eyes of Lewis Hine
Authors: Szlezák Klara-Stephanie
Published: October 2022

In a historical approach, this article examines the way immigration was captured by means of a medium that was just as new and astonishing as the social upheavals brought about by modernity of which immigration itself was a key factor: photography. To this purpose, photographs taken on Ellis Island by Lewis W. Hine, one of the major photographers of his time, are described, analyzed, and interpreted. After a short introduction to the photographer’s method and approach to the subject, an in-depth analysis of four examples from his Ellis Island series shall help to elucidate in how far his visualizations of the migration process convey a remarkably wide array of factual and emotional aspects linked to this chapter of US history. Not only do the photographs give a vivid impression of the daily proceedings immigrants and officials were involved in, they also shed light on the immigrants as not merely masses of foreigners but as human beings. It is Hine’s aim of countering prevalently negative opinions and images as well as the focus on the individual immigrant experience that makes his work social photography and thus situates his photographs on the threshold between social documentation and art.

Meronymy and Its Syntagmatic Patterns in Arabic
Authors: Khader Said
Published: October 2022

This article scrutinizes the correlation between lexical and syntactic systems of language through an analysis of the impact of meronymy on Arabic syntagmatic structure. The objective here is to introduce the conceptual significance of meronymy, and specifically, explore Arabic meronymic structures, examining correctness and acceptability of sentences based on meronymic typologies. Drawing upon the central tenets of linguistics and its fundamental theoretical trajectories, this article reviews key Arabic grammatical sources whilst investigating meronymic structures via inducing Classical Arabic corpus, retrieved from both The Holy Qur’an and the Prophetic traditions.In spite of its increasing popularity amongst scholars of linguistics, meronymy relation proves itself to be of remarkable significance in the construction of several rules in the Arabic language. In light of such precedence, this article provides for an alternative approach to verify the lexical conditions that govern grammatical rules, offering a more concise definition of meronymy and its implications for the field of Arabic linguistic studies.
A Contrastive Study of Theme Types and Patterns in Medical Research Article Abstracts Written in English by Native and Saudi Scholars
Authors: Alyousef Hesham , Alsharif Maryam
Published: October 2022

Abstracts of research articles are dense in nature and require authors to pack information in a concise cohesive paragraph. One principle of cohesion is employing various theme types and thematic progression patterns. The study conducted qualitative contrastive analyses of these aspects in medical research article (RA) abstracts written in English by native and Saudi scholars. The findings revealed the predominance of constant and linear thematic progression patterns. Whereas the two patterns are almost equally used in the native scholars’ data, the constant pattern prevailed in the non-native scholars’ data. Non-native authors tended to simplify complex subject matter by using shorter clauses to exert less effort in processing them. They also relied on cohesive ties to achieve cohesion rather than using various thematic progression patterns. Due to the factual nature of the medical abstracts, unmarked topical and textual themes were the most used instead of interpersonal themes. Multiple themes were minimally employed due to the generic features of abstracts. The study findings may have implications for novice RA scholars of medicine, English for specific purpose instructors, and researchers interested in both second language acquisition and cross-cultural variations. Future studies could investigate themes in medical RA abstracts written in other languages.
The Weak Arab Expressions of Al-Baquli In His Book (Detecting Problems) Collection and Study

Many of the books of the Qur’an’s syntax have shown the possible syntactic aspects, and al-Hassan mentioned them, the strong and the weak, and among those books (“Uncovering the Problems”), for al-Baqwali. Who is this term? The Qur’an does not carry a weak Arab expression, and it was one of its results: that it called it on every Arab expression, “its graduation was on a different grammatical basis in it, or what is only in poetic necessity.” The research also concluded that the causes of weakness may be due to industrial matters Verbal or moral matters.
The Question _Answer Duality in Al-Jahiz Articles
Authors: Al-johar Kaloud
Published: October 2022

Al Jahiz essays (rasāil) have not had their fair share of study as his other books did, such as Kitab al-Bayan wa al-Tabyin (The Book of eloquence and demonstration), Kitab al-Hayawan (Book of the Animals), and Kitab al-Bukhala (Book of Misers). This has been the motive behind highlighting his essays. I have focused on the question-answer duality in the four essays: "The Envious and the Envied", "the Prides of Blacks over Whites", "Homelands and Countries", and "the Drinker and Drinks". The question form turns out to be direct sometimes, indirect other times, and frequently a combination of indirect and indirect, but the indirect question was expressed in the form of imperatives. The study found out that the direct question was framed by question word markers only, devoid of prepositions, and this is not surprising because the nature of the message dictates this. The questions asked are just yes/no type, giving the speaker ample space to express his ideas and culture. Al-Jahiz does not stop at the yes and no limits, but rather he discusses opinions and debates visions. The questioner remains absent in the essays of al-Jahiz, which leads to various different interpretations, as his essays were full of rhetorical devices such as specifications, conditionals, proverbs and citations.
The Role of Saudi Literature in Cultural Development Taking Ghazi Al Qusaibi as an Example
Authors: Alzahrani Maha
Published: October 2022

The research aims at studying the literary efforts of Al Qusaibi within the cultural development which he earnestly sought as he believed in the necessity of building man in the society to be a productive doer، to present a successful experience for students and the forthcoming generations to help them face reality. The importance of the research is indicated by shedding light on the literature of a Saudi man of letters who created a perception of cultural development and its impact on social building and changing its paths to the best. Through his multi intellectual participations، he attempted to awaken man’s conscience and urge the society to interact with culture with its social concept. From this research، we might have concluded some theoretical researches which were far from reality and society as we want to present a development view coated with a literary garment. Through the basic question of research: How did the literature of Al Qaisibi whether in the development process in general and in the cultural development in particular? We shall try to answer through studying examples of his poetry and prose taking his novel "Al Asfouria" as a model.
Strategies of Face-Threatening and Preserving in the Averral (Khabar) of Al-Asma'ei with the Son of Ḥātim and a Woman of Ibn Harmah’s Daughters in the Light of the Politeness Theory
Authors: Jehjah Al-Jawharah
Published: October 2022

This research analyzes the selected text for the pragmatic study in the light of the concept of Face, which its model developed by Brown and Levinson in 1978 in the context of the theoretical principles of politeness. It is taken from two angles; one is concerned with the speaker and the strategies he has chosen to select the positive and negative faces targeted by his threats and then the strategies that he has diversified his successive threats on. The research then moves on to analyze the strategies of the addressee that he creates in order to repel or mitigate those threats or their damage to the speaker's face. Keeping the addressees in line with the speaker has emerged in his strategies by threatening him with some similar strategies or mitigating it in their attempts to preserve their faces, which made the interactive speech maneuver a conflict maneuver in which the speaker lost it to the outspoken man in his defense of the two aspects of his face and returned the attack on both aspects of the speaker's face, while addressing the female, who has successive positive politeness strategies through, he exchanged her with strategies to mitigate threats and remedy the risks to accomplish his quest to make her a victim for irony, he had passed through the strategy of negative politeness (praising).

Authors: Al-Wafa Heba
Published: October 2022

Superlative types are vary between literary, morphological and linguistic types, as well as the techniques used by the Semitic languages ​​in expressing them are vary too ,and techniques here means the styles and structures used by Semitic languages to express superlative adjectives, this research aims to identify these techniques in three Semitic languages (Ge’ez, Hebrew and Arabic). In order to understand these techniques & identify them, this research begin with an introduction identifies terms related to superlative term. Then the research study the techniques of superlative adjectives in Ge'ez language. Then the techniques of superlative adjectives in Hebrew. Finally, the techniques of Arabic language in expression of superlative adjectives, followed by the most important differences and similarities between the three Semitic languages ​​techniques, and then conclude the search results followed by a list of sources and references on which the research relied. This research use the descriptive comparative methodology. The most important findings of the research: - The three languages ​​are similar in the use of morphological forms, and this is clear in Arabic and Ge'ez, while the Hebrew has one unused lexical form. Both Ge'ez and Hebrew are similar in the use of adjective intensifiers to express morphological superlative, as well as the use of certain prepositions to express superlative formulas. Ge'ez language differs from Hebrew and Arabic in its use of cognate accusative to express superlative adjectives.

Authors: Al-Harout Muhammad , Al-Thawabiyah Haitham
Published: October 2022

The research sought to trace the evidence of the structures of Fi'līl in the Arabic language lexicons and their use in the heritage books in order to collect them and to determine the extent of their pragmatic use. The number of them was 193, some of them were Vocal transformations, others were Metathesis, and a big number was Succession with other forms. For that purpose, the study was divided into two parts: Firstly the lexicons where we traced evidence of the use of this form in many examples. Secondly, the theoretical aspect which was about the structural form in Arabic. Finally, we concluded by analyzing the evidence of the use of (Fi'līl). All this was accomplished using both methodologies: statistical and descriptive. The two researchers have concluded that the number of examples of the use of (Fi'līl) in classical and modern Arabic is small, and without the few references that are used in contemporary Arabic, we could have judged that these structures have been abandoned.

Authors: Husdanah Akadiyan Aliffia , Saidi Muhammad Djafar , Ruslan Achmad , Ilmar Aminuddin
Published: October 2022

A dominant position is a situation where a business actor does not have a significant competitor in the relevant market in relation to the market share controlled, or the business actor has the highest position among his competitors in the relevant market in terms of financial capability, ability to access supply or sales, and ability to adjust supply between the demand for certain goods or services (Article 1 number 4 of Law Number 5 of 1999). Abuse of a dominant position in the market further aggravates the economic situation during the pandemic era. The procedure for determining the existence of abuse of a dominant position can be carried out by measuring the reach or scope of the relevant market, the existence of a dominant position in the relevant market, and proving the behavior of abuse of dominant position. The Government issued Law Number 5 of 1999 concerning the Prohibition of Monopolistic Practices and Unfair Business Competition (hereinafter Law Number 5 of 1999) intended as a legal instrument to enforce the rule of law and provide equal protection for business actors in efforts to create fair business competition. The law also provides legal certainty, so that it can encourage the acceleration of economic development to improve general welfare, as well as the implementation of the spirit and soul of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The form of abuse of the dominant position by PT Forisa Nusapersada in the Pop Ice program The Real Ice Blender is PT. Forisa Nusapersada made IOM and an agreement with the owners of Beverage Kiosks and/or Market Stores not to sell competing products like Pop Ice, which has resulted in the lost or at least reduced choice of consumers to attain S'Cafe and Milkjus brand products in the market.

Authors: Palupi Norry Eka , Maghfoer Moch Dawam , Barunawati Nunun , Hariyono Didik
Published: October 2022

Research on abiotic stress tolerant horticultural plants has been widely carried out. However, there has not been much research on the citrus phenotype with rootstock as planting material, which has advantages in overcoming abiotic stress and dwarf performance. This research provides citrus rootstock that is tolerant to some of the marginal land in Indonesia especially on drought, salinity, waterlogging, and acidity. This morphological research was conducted at Punten Experimental Garden in Batu city, Indonesia. Anatomical observations were carried out in the laboratories of Indonesian Balitjestro and Universitas Brawijaya. This has done pre-treatment selection lasted for 8 months and then abiotic stress treatment lasted for 2 months, from July to September 2021. This study consisted of 15 treatment combinations: three rootstock varieties, i.e., Citromello (Cit), Volkameriana (Volk), and Cleopatra mandarin (CM), and five abiotic stress treatments, i.e., control, PEG 10%, NaCl 3.5%, waterlogging 150% FC, and 9 mM Al2SO4. The results showed that abiotic stress, especially NaCl and waterlogging, caused phenotypic changes such as in leaf shape, i.e., leaf lamina shape, reduced leaf area, chlorophyll content, stomata density, and canopy diameter compared to other abiotic stresses. The best stomatal density and open stomata percentage were for Cleopatra mandarin (CM). This was also shown by the increase in proline content when plants are subjected to abiotic stresses, especially in Cleopatra mandarin under NaCl stress, Volkameriana under Al2SO4 stress, and Citromello under waterlogging (WL). The palisade size decreased, its vascular bundles in the leaves increased, and the pore distribution changed. The results showed all rootstock candidates were resistant to several abiotic stresses and had dwarf performance. It can be concluded that the best tolerant of abiotic stress rootstock variety of abiotic stress is Cleopatra mandarin, while Volkameriana and Citromello are better tolerant on acidic soil.
The Effect of Combining the Adomian Decomposition and Homotopy Perturbation Methods on Solving Fifth-Order Boundary Value Problems
Authors: Hosseini Seyd Siavash , Aminataei Azim , Kiany Fatemeh , Alizadeh Mahmood , Zahraei Mohsen
Published: October 2022

This paper considers fifth-order boundary value problems with two-point boundary conditions. For the investigation, first, the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) was applied to the equation and then the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) was used to continue the solution. In addition, this combined method was applied to solve two linear and nonlinear experiments. Then the numerical results obtained by other methods were compared. Furthermore, the convergence of the methods was analyzed. In most of the articles, the HPM is used for equations with initial conditions and the ADM is used for equations with initial and boundary conditions. In this study, a combination of two methods (the ADM and HPM) was used to solve equations with boundary conditions. The results of this combined method are remarkable.

Ethical Spending in Addressing Cancer Treatment, Screening, and Prevention
Authors: Kumar Arvind , Flores Raja M.
Published: October 2022

Focusing on the U.S., this chapter discuss the economic aspects that accompany cancer spending in case of prevention, screening, and treatment. While these three facets are all important in promoting patient health and safety, screening and prevention have been shown to have much lower cost compared with cancer therapeutics or in eliminating the health hazards in low- and moderate-income housing in New York City. The distribution of healthcare funds, however, does not accurately reflect the differences in impact on survival and quality of life. Finally, by focusing on treatments, they critically discuss how the increasing use of robotic-assisted surgery–expensive for healthcare facilities–may not be to the benefit of patients.
Cancer, Global, Pandemic, Health, Ethics, and Social Justice: A Meditation on Some Five-Letter Words That Are Pervasive Accelerants
Authors: Jackson Richard J.
Published: October 2022

In reflecting on cancers, this chapter stresses the serious social harms caused by inadequate prevention and, within the social fabric, he examines what he calls the “cancer accelerants:” water, power, money, and greed. They are four specific factors that require ethical attention. Water powerfully influences past and future health and well-being, for human beings and for the planet. Water conflicts are ethically troubling. Powers at play within the medical/industrial complex lead to further power imbalances in the social fabric, which are increased and worsened by structural racism and systemic impoverishment. Money further complicates any attempt to promote greater social justice whether one considers, on the one hand, financial interests and, on the other hand, lack of financial resources and poverty. Finally, greed poisons human and social interactions by inhibiting virtuous behaviors and choices, both at the personal and social level.
A Cancer Diagnosis: Raw Emotion, Front and Center–How Your Life Changes in a Second
Authors: Campbell Laura
Published: October 2022

A Boston College staff member, Laura Campbell, vividly describes how cancer disrupted her life and, in very similar ways, affects the lives of any worker. It makes a great difference if the employer’s healthcare plan and the working environment support patients in their ordeals and in the process of recovery. Hence, while her personal narrative teaches us about her individual experience, at the same time her story further highlights the ethical urgency of critically examining workplaces and healthcare systems, with the services that they provide, by paying attention to those who are left out from what could benefit their personal health and the health of the whole society.
Another Reason to Bring Cancer into the Realm of Global Public Health: The Insularity of Cancer Patients and How Global Public Health Might Get Them Better Connected
Authors: Keenan James F.
Published: October 2022

As a cancer survivor and a Boston College faculty member, James Keenan, SJ, stresses how urgent it is to consider cancer a global health emergency and how this approach implies a necessary and beneficial change of perspective. In fact, cancer is usually experienced as a personal ordeal, centered on who is affected. As he indicates, shared accompaniment and advocacy–as in the case of women’s grassroots organizations of breast cancer survivors–further exemplify how new forms of collective support, social action, and lived solidarity contribute to change the patterns of cancers’ stories by giving voice and agency to the patients and survivors who are voiceless and disempowered.

Striving to be focused and concrete, Silvia de Sanjosé offers a specific example to inform present and future commitments in the ongoing cancer pandemic by articulating a global strategy for eliminating cervical cancer. Cervical cancer, which is preventable, is a global public health problem. It is the fourth most common cancer, with over 600.000 new cases diagnosed every year and it is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. Most of these cancer cases occur in low-resource settings where women are not screened regularly. While highlighting these ongoing challenges, the author stresses the existing opportunities for prevention, screening, and vaccination.

Dividend Payout Policy and Global Financial Crisis: A Study on Asian Non-Financial Listed Companies
Authors: Boo Hooi-Laing , Chan Tze-Haw
Published: October 2022

This study assesses the dividend payout options of non-financial firms listed on the stock exchanges in four Asian countries: Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and Hong Kong, from 2006–2016. Multinomial logistic regression was used to justify the determinants of four mutually exclusive payout choices (increase, cut, omit or maintain) in the context of catering, signaling and smoothing concerns. The study is split into pre-, during and post-crisis periods. Several dividend patterns were observed across the nations and sub-periods, and the empirical results reveal that firms shifted their dividend policy during the financial crisis. More specifically, firms adopted a conservative strategy and were more concerned about preserving funds rather than distributing dividends during the financial crisis. The consequence is broadly consistent with the view that the dividend payer’s characteristics are the most relevant to explaining the dividend payout options, while cutting dividends was one of the methods used to maintain financial flexibility during the financial crisis period.

Published: October 2022

O presente trabalho apresenta um estudo longitudinal e analisa resultados obtidos na primeira fase do projeto “As questões de gênero na formação de professores para educação básica: um olhar transdisciplinar”, submetido ao edital de Consórcio Acadêmico para o Ensino de Graduação-CAEG, da Universidade de São Paulo (USP). O objeto de estudo consiste na desconstrução da naturalização do conceito de gênero na formação de professores de Educação Física, em função das constantes manifestações de preconceitos e da falta de informações a respeito do assunto, que impactam diretamente o cotidiano escolar. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de campo, descritiva e exploratória, de abordagem mista, com elementos de cunho qualitativo e quantitativo. O estudo evidenciou que a desconstrução da naturalização do conceito de gênero configura-se como um processo gradativo que requer esforços, ações e reflexões contínuas na preparação profissional.
“This class doesn’t have a textbook?”: An overview of a TRPG course for L2 English learners in Japan
Authors: Reed Jacob
Published: October 2022

Background: Given the opportunity to teach a mixed language/content course and my longstanding interest in TRPGs and second-language acquisition, I made a course titled “Interaction through Tabletop Roleplaying Games.”
Aim: The aim of the course was - beyond the development of students’ English language skills - to open a window into the world of tabletop roleplaying games and encourage students to see TRPGs as an opportunity to use English outside the classroom in a playful way and learn how to play them.
Teaching methods: The course used three different TRPG systems of slowly advancing difficulty in order to acclimate the students to the genre and equip them with the basic schema they would need to participate fully in English. To introduce the materials, I began with a teacher-centered approach and then moved to a student-centered one as students became more familiar with the genre.
Results: By the end of the course, students were able to play TRPGs unassisted in English by creating their own stories, characters, and adapting them to their playstyle. Some also expressed interest in playing TRPGs in their futures, or if not running a game themselves, said that they would be open to the idea if someone else invited them.
Conclusion: In the future, I want to use this paper as a starting point to further refine and develop the course as well as the ideas within it.
