Published: July 2023

Os sistemas de transporte urbanos, antes mesmo da pandemia do Covid 19, já apresentavam significativos problemas relacionados ao binômio custo(tarifa) x demanda(receita). Com a redução deslocamentos nas cidades, a receita tarifária desapareceu e muitos serviços foram paralisados ou passaram a operar em condições muito precárias. A necessidade do repasse subsídios por parte das administrações públicas passou ao centro dos debates técnicos, sociais, econômicos e jurídicos. Esta realidade passou a exigir ações rápidas e efetivas, juridicamente permitidas e transparentes para todos os envolvidos. Assim, tornou-se fundamental aprimorar todos os procedimentos relativos à apropriação dos custos de operação dos serviços de transporte urbanos. Dentro deste contexto, este artigo se propôs a avaliar e analisar comparativamente as abordagens técnico-acadêmicas, nacionais e internacionais relativas ao tema, buscando identificar características e enfoques, similaridades e diferenças, além de eventuais lacunas e centelhas indutoras de desejados aprimoramentos nos procedimentos de apropriação dos custos de operação e de cálculo tarifário. De modo geral, os textos internacionais utilizam métodos econométricos para estimar os custos, enquanto os nacionais são focados no cálculo preciso dos custos, procedimentos e equações mais detalhados, demonstrando um nível de detalhamento maior, embora não contemple aspectos observados na bibliografia internacional.
Το νερό ως οικονομικό αγαθό στο δημόσιο διεθνές δίκαιο
Authors: Τζατζάκη Βασιλική-Μαρία
Published: July 2023

Στο επίκεντρο της διδακτορικής διατριβής βρίσκεται το νερό ως αντικείμενο ρύθμισης κανόνων δικαίου, με έμφαση εκείνους που προέρχονται από το διεθνές δίκαιο. Μέσα από το ευρύτερο πλαίσιο του διεθνούς δικαίου και της πρακτικής των κρατών, το νερό εξετάζεται ως δημόσιο αγαθό, αγγίζοντας τομείς ανθρωπίνων δικαιωμάτων και περιβαλλοντικού δικαίου ως προς τα ζητήματα διαχείρισής του. Το νερό δεν αποτελεί ένα απλό αγαθό αλλά διακρίνεται για την πολυδιάστατη φύση του ως προϊόν εμπορίου, αντικείμενο περιβαλλοντικής προστασίας και ανθρώπινο δικαίωμα, η διαχείριση του οποίου εγείρει καθημερινά ζητήματα αστικού, ενοχικού και εμπράγματου δικαίου. Συγκεκριμένα, το νερό αναλύεται ως αντικείμενο ρύθμισης που σχετίζεται με το διεθνές οικονομικό δίκαιο, το δίκαιο περιβάλλοντος και την προστασία των ανθρωπίνων δικαιωμάτων. Συνεπώς, σκοπός της παρούσας ανάλυσης είναι να εξετάσει την πληρότητα καθενός εκ των τριών προαναφερθέντων πλαισίων δικαίου στη ρύθμιση ζητημάτων με αντικείμενο το νερό μέσω της ανάλυσης νομικών κειμένων και αποφάσεων δικαστηριακών οργάνων, δεσμευτικών και μη, σε εθνικό, ενωσιακό, περιφερειακό και επίπεδο.
Αόρατη εργασία και τεχνολογία σε έργα ψηφιοποίησης στην Ελλάδα, 2004-2020
Authors: Παναγόπουλος Αλέξανδρος
Published: July 2023

Σκοπός της μελέτης είναι η ανάδειξη της αόρατης εργασίας που απαιτείται για τη μετατροπή μιας αναλογικής τεχνικής υποδομής πληροφορίας σε ψηφιακή. Η κεντρική ιδέα πίσω από αυτή βρίσκεται στη διαπίστωση ότι ο ηγεμονικός λόγος γύρω από τις «έξυπνες» μηχανές, την ψηφιακότητα και τον ψηφιακό μετασχηματισμό των τελευταίων είκοσι ετών δεν είναι ουδέτερος και χρησιμοποιείται, ανάμεσα σε άλλα, για την υποτίμηση και απαξίωση της εργασίας. Χρησιμοποιώντας θεωρητικά σχήματα και μεθοδολογικές προσεγγίσεις από την Ιστορία της Τεχνολογίας και τις Σπουδές Επιστήμης και Τεχνολογίας (Επιστήμη, Τεχνολογία, Κοινωνία) – ιδίως την προσέγγιση «τεχνολογία κατά τη χρήση» (technology-in-use) – η μελέτη εστιάζει στην εργασιακή αλυσίδα που σχεδιάστηκε και εφαρμόστηκε σε τρία έργα ψηφιοποίησης τη χρονική περίοδο 2004-2020 στην Ελλάδα. Στα έργα αυτά απασχολήθηκαν δεκάδες εργαζόμενοι διαφορετικών ειδικοτήτων, των οποίων όμως η απαιτητική, κοπιώδης και δημιουργική εργασία παρέμεινε αόρατη τόσο για τους τελικούς χρήστες του ψηφιακού αρχείου όσο και για τους ίδιους τους υπεύθυνους της διαδικασίας ψηφιοποίησης. Προκειμένου να αντιμετωπιστούν τα προβλήματα που προέκυψαν κατά την υλοποίηση των έργων, οι εργαζόμενοι χρησιμοποίησαν τη φαντασία, τη δημιουργικότητα και επινοητικότητά τους, στοιχεία που ξεπερνούσαν κατά πολύ το πλαίσιο των προκαθορισμένων καθηκόντων τους. Αυτή η δημιουργική εργασία ωστόσο δεν αναγνωρίστηκε από την πλευρά των εργοδοτών ως τέτοια ούτε σε επίπεδο αμοιβής ούτε σε επίπεδο βελτίωσης της παρεχόμενης υπηρεσίας παρά το γεγονός ότι υπήρξε ο καθοριστικός παράγοντας για την ολοκλήρωση των έργων. Παράλληλα, μέσα από την έρευνα αναδεικνύονται τα χαρακτηριστικά ενός εργατικού δυναμικού που απασχολείται στον χώρο της αρχειακής πληροφορίας, δυναμικού φθηνού, κατά βάση νεανικού και γυναικείου, προσωρινής απασχόλησης ως επί το πλείστον και που συνδέεται στενά με το τοπίο της επισφαλούς εργασίας των τελευταίων ετών, ενώ εγγράφεται στο πλαίσιο της περιορισμένης ανθρώπινης παρέμβασης σε σχέση με τις σύγχρονες ψηφιακές τεχνολογίες.
Συγκριτική μελέτη του ενεργειακού ισοζυγίου και πρότυπων μεταβολισμού στα εκτρεφόμενα είδη ιχθύων τσιπούρα (Sparus aurata) και φαγκρί (Pagrus pagrus) από μονάδα ιχθυοκαλλιέργειας
Authors: Μακρή Βασιλική
Published: July 2023

Τα θαλάσσια οικοσυστήματα είναι από τα πιο σημαντικά από οικολογική και οικονομική άποψη στον πλανήτη και οι υδατοκαλλιέργειες βρίσκονται σε μια σταθερά ανοδική πορεία τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο, με ολοένα αυξανόμενη παραγωγή. Παράλληλα, η συνεχής αύξηση του ανθρώπινου πληθυσμού και η επακόλουθη αυξημένη ανάγκη για παραγωγή τροφής έχουν δημιουργήσει μια τεράστια πίεση στις υδατοκαλλιέργειες για μεγιστοποίηση της παραγωγής. Ωστόσο, υπάρχει ισχυρή επιστημονική συναίνεση ότι τα οικοσυστήματα αυτά, μαζί με τα αγαθά και τις υπηρεσίες που παρέχουν, απειλούνται από την κλιματική αλλαγή. Η βιολογική ενέργεια διαδραματίζει σημαντικό ρόλο στην ανοχή στις περιβαλλοντικές συνθήκες, μεταξύ των οποίων η θερμοκρασία είναι ο κύριος παράγοντας πίεσης, που επηρεάζει τις φυσιολογικές διεργασίες. Η διδακτορική διατριβή έχει ως στόχο να μελετήσει τα ενεργειακά πρότυπα, την κατανομή ενέργειας και τα μεταβολικά πρότυπα στα εκτρεφόμενα είδη ιχθύων S. aurata και P. pagrus σε εποχική βάση. Για το σκοπό της παρούσας έρευνας έγιναν δειγματοληψίες ατόμων σε κανονικά χρονικά διαστήματα μεταξύ Σεπτεμβρίου 2019 έως τον Ιούλιο του 2020 που πραγματοποιήθηκαν στον Βόρειο Ευβοϊκό Κόλπο σε συνεργασία με την Ιχθυοκαλλιέργεια ΠΡΟΜΗΘΕΑΣ ΕΠΕ. Πραγματοποιήθηκαν συνολικά 7 εποχικές δειγματοληψίες με βάση την θερμοκρασία των προηγούμενων ετών του θαλασσινού νερού της περιοχής. Παράλληλα με τις δειγματοληψίες γινόντουσαν μετρήσεις της θερμοκρασίας του νερού. Η χαμηλότερη θερμοκρασία καταγράφηκε τον μήνα Φεβρουάριο και η υψηλότερη τον Ιούλιο. Στην συγκεκριμένη έρευνα προσδιορίστηκαν διάφοροι φυσιολογικοί, καθώς και μοριακοί, βιοχημικοί και μεταβολικοί δείκτες. Επίσης μελετήθηκε η έκφραση διαφόρων γονιδίων που σχετίζονται με τον μεταβολισμό των υδατανθράκων και των λιπιδίων ώστε να εκτιμηθεί η ρύθμιση των ενεργειακών και μεταβολικών προτύπων βάσει της γονιδιακής έκφρασης. Συνοπτικά, τα αποτελέσματα δείχνουν ότι το χειμώνα, τα 2 εξεταζόμενα είδη μειώνουν την πρόσληψη τροφής λόγω των χαμηλών θερμοκρασιών και αρχίζουν να κινητοποιούν τα αποθέματα λίπους. Από την άλλη πλευρά, το καλοκαίρι παρατηρείται αυξημένος ρυθμός ανάπτυξης, πρόσληψης τροφής και αυξημένες ενζυμικές δραστικότητες οι οποιές συνδιάζονται με την γονιδιακή έκφραση και την ενζυμική δραστηρκότητα των ενζύμων και δείχνουν τόσο την εξάρτηση όσο τις συνέπειες της αύξησης της θερμοκρασίας. Συγκεκριμένα, συμπεραίνεται ότι κατά τον εγκλιματισμό στις χαμηλές θερμοκρασίες αυξάνεται η συσσώρευση και η παραγωγή της ενέργειας βασίζεται ιδιαίτερα στην οξείδωση των λιπιδίων. Σε αντίθεση, κατά τον εγκλιματισμό στις υψηλότερες θερμοκρασίες τα αποτελέσματα δείχνουν πιο έντονη δραστηριότητα, αύξηση του ρυθμού ανάπτυξης και σίτισης, και αύξηση των ενζυμικών δραστικοτήτων των μεταβολικών ενζύμων που σχετίζονται ιδιαίτερα με τον μεταβολισμό των υδατανθράκων.

Published: July 2023

Background: Digital health information literacy is a prerequisite for Continuing Nursing Education (CNE). CNE has a positive impact on the improvement of healthcare quality as well as to healthcare personnel’s knowledge and skills.
Aim: To investigate the incentives for participating in CNE activities the nurses from “Ippokrateio” General Hospital of Thessaloniki demonstrate. Also, the relation to their digital health literacy levels during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Materials and Methods: 120/130 employees of the hospital’s nursing personnel (response rate: 92.3%) took part in the cross-sectional study from February to April 2021. The participants were asked to complete an anonymous, structured, closed-ended questionnaire, formulated by the Participation Reasons Scale and e-HEALS. Data analysis was performed with IBM SPSS 21.0
Results: Nurses were motivated mainly to receive CNE in order to improve their professional skills and provide better services to patients. Those with better digital health information literacy levels regarded highly all incentives’ categories; professional skills improvement and better services provided to patients, (b) personal benefits gain and job security, (c) professional engagement and (d) learning and interacting with colleagues. Those of younger age considered more important to improve their professional skills and provide better services to patients, while those working under fixed-term contracts, professional engagement, personal benefit and job security. Nurses having children acknowledged as more important the personal benefit and job security incentives.
Conclusions: Nurses with higher digital health information literacy levels were keener in participating in CNE activities, as presented more motivated.

Background: The association between exercise and muscle build-up is a long-run connection. Whereas limited physical activity doesn't do well with muscle build-up. But how much is that difference in muscle thickness between different levels of physical activity? Aim: To understand this we conducted a cross-sectional study to associate physical activity and sitting time with the muscle thickness of the lower limb and diaphragm. Methods: The research's participants ranged in age from 18 to 35. Out of 91 patients, 30 were found to smoke routinely and 6 had a drinking history after questions concerning lifestyle factors including smoking and drinking were questioned. In terms of occupation, 74.7% of people had an occupation and 25% were unemployed. We acquired ultrasonography for the quadriceps (rectus femoris and vastus intermedialis), soleus muscle, and diaphragm. Participants were divided into groups according to their self-reported levels of physical activity and sitting time based on IPAQ scores. Results: We found that the lower limb muscles have shown statistically significant differences between vigorous physical activity (VPA) and lower physical activity (LPA).  We found that the quadriceps muscle(rectus femoris and vastus intermedialis) thickness was 1.3 cm in LPA whereas 2.8 cm in VPA with (p=<0.001) soleus muscle thickness being 1 cm in LPA and 2.2 cm. Conclusions: Physical activity levels are found to be positively related to the peripheral muscle thickness VPA (p=<0.001). Physical activity levels are found to be positively related to peripheral muscle thickness.

Published: July 2023

Mobility plays a crucial role in joining activity's locations to each other, enabling social contact, and facilitating the movement of people and goods from and to various locations. This study investigates the mobility characteristics of peri-urban communities in selected cities of Southwest Nigeria. We selected 505 respondents from the 11 peri-urban communities for the questionnaire survey using a stratified sampling technique. The data were summarised using frequency, mean and mode while ANOVA and Chi-square were used to test for the significant difference in inter-community and gender variations in mobility variables. Findings revealed a substantial variation in the distance separating the peri-urban communities and the city centres. Most of the respondents (81.4%) indicated that the roads in their communities were not paved, with adverse effects on their mobility. The peri-urban communities are served by informal transit modes, with more than 33% of the respondents relying on motorcycles for their mobility needs. Mobility characteristics among the peri-urban dwellers vary from one community to another and between gender. Over 80% of respondents work within the peri-urban interface, indicating increasing decentralisation of activities. The peri-urban dwellers are mobility-starved due to failed infrastructure and informal transit services. The government at all levels (Federal, State and Local) should prioritise improving road infrastructures and public transport services that enhance sustainable mobility at the city peripheries.

Published: July 2023

The study proposes a simple procedure for evaluating the suitability of various locations for the installation of micro-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. The main aim of the study was to determine the applicability of GIS tools for assessing the suitability of different locations for solar energy generation. The applicability of open-source databases in geoinformation analyses was emphasized. The study was conducted in the urban municipality of Mrągowo in the Region of Warmia and Mazury, Poland. Mrągowo is characterized by considerable physiographic diversity, which influenced the results of the study. The evaluation focused on rooftops which are most widely used for the installation of micro-scale solar PV systems. For the purpose of generalization, the results of the evaluation were presented for the districts of Mrągowo, so as to assist state agencies, local governments, and non-public institutions in implementing local policies that support renewable energy generation. The average amount of energy (MWh) that can be generated per building and the total amount of energy (MWh) that can be generated in cadastral districts were calculated to determine the solar energy potential of the study site
Human Freedom, Habits and Justice
Authors: Silalahi Ubat Pahala Charles , Matatula Gloria
Published: July 2023

This paper aims to examine human freedom and habits based on justice. The main issue guiding this research is how justice can direct human freedom and habits to create equality in the state, and the authors use a historical-factual approach to the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas to sketch out how this can be achieved. The main result of this research shows that justice is a moral virtue which perfects the will and directs human acts for good. Justice is also called a habit because it perfects the will and inclines the will to give each man what is his, equality. It implies equality because it relates to others and indicates a significant relationship with others. Justice is principally in rulers because of their primary authority and competency, while it is secondary and administrative in the people. Power exists among the people through the law to bring the common good, whereas the people are indirectly present in the state community through obedience to the law. However, the law can be unjust because power prioritizes the interests of capital owners over those of the vulnerable. This practice is common because power benefits from their existence. Furthermore, when power moves away from the common good in favor of itself, the classical notion of justice suggests depriving those in power of their rights of appointment and leaving the offices of state to the best. Therefore, the people have to strive diligently to provide good leaders and keep them from falling under tyranny.

Po 22 VI 1941 r. na ziemiach polskich okupant niemiecki zapoczątkował propagandową akcję antykomunistyczną. Narzędziem jej realizacji stały się m.in. broszury w języku polskim, w których zawarto treści ukazujące Związek Sowiecki jako kraj zagrażający europejskiej cywilizacji i pragnący zniszczyć polskość. Z tego względu sporo miejsca poświęcono w nich sprawie okupowanych przez Sowietów wschodnich obszarów polskich, ukazując brutalność życia codziennego pod sowieckim panowaniem.

in the purely singular case and at least two different weak solutions
in the purturbed singular case.
Weighted fourth order equation of Kirchhoff type in dimension 4 with non-linear exponential growth
Authors: Jaidane Rached
Published: July 2023

In this work, we are concerned with the existence of a ground state solution
for a Kirchhoff weighted problem under boundary Dirichlet condition
in the unit ball of $\mathbb{R}^{4}$.
The nonlinearities have critical growth in view of Adams'
inequalities. To prove the existence result, we use Pass Mountain Theorem.
The main difficulty is
the loss of compactness due to the critical exponential growth of the nonlinear
term $f$. The associated energy function does not satisfy
the condition of compactness. We provide a new condition for growth and we stress its importance
to check the min-max compactness level.

Published: July 2023

California Utility Firm Implements Innovative Model, Reducing Costs by 4%

A California utility firm has successfully implemented a pioneering model to balance electricity demand and supply while minimizing costs. By utilizing direct load control contracts (DLCCs), the firm can reduce energy consumption during peak hours. Researchers developed an integer stochastic dynamic optimization problem that considers monthly and annual constraints, allowing for effective execution of DLCCs. Incorporating a “reduce-to-threshold” policy to flatten energy-consumption curves during high demand, the model was verified using real data from the California Independent System Operator. When implemented, the utility firm achieved an impressive cost reduction of approximately 4%. Sensitivity analysis was conducted to enhance customer experience and improve DLCC contract features. The success of this innovative model highlights the potential of DLCCs and advanced optimization techniques in the energy sector, offering a blueprint for other utility companies seeking to optimize grid stability and reduce costs.
Personal Risk Factors Regarding the Presence of Autism Spectrum Disorders
Authors: Castro Manoel Baña , Losada-Puente Luisa
Published: July 2023

The current understanding of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as an alteration of neurodevelopment requires deepening in the causes that originate it. This study aims to investigate the relationship between the presence of ASD in subjects aged 2-22 years and some related biological factors (sex/gender, age, and body mass index). A quasi-experimental study, with a cross-sectional retrospective design, was conducted on 209 subjects (n = 111 with ASD and n = 98 neurotypical) who were applied to the GARS-2 test in three areas: communication, social interaction, and stereotyped behaviours between 2016-2021. The risk factors identified are related to early age (OR = 2.27, 95% CI = 1.30-3.96), being male (OR = 2.67, 95% CI = 1.41-4.68) and having underweight (OR = 2.03, 95% CI = 1.09-3.80). Differences in stereotyped behaviours (OR = 1.10, 95% CI = 1.05-1.14), functional communication (OR = 1.13, 95% CI = 1.08-1.17) and social interaction (OR = 1.11, 95% CI = 1.08-1.15), were found, being at risk as soon as scores related to ASD diagnosis. In sum, rigorous and multidimensional understanding analysis among specialists regarding people with ASD allows to evaluate the development of the set of alterations and key variables to provide support and assistance to their quality of life.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly spread worldwide, leading to a global health crisis. Although the real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test is highly specific and sensitive in detecting COVID-19, chest X-rays have emerged as an optional diagnostic tool for COVID-19-induced lung lesions. Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly deep learning, is a rapidly evolving field with significant potential in medical image analysis, including the quick detection of COVID-19 to improve accuracy. Objectives: This study aims to enhance the accuracy of COVID-19 image detection on chest X-ray images by modifying the deep convolutional neural network. Materials and methods: We conducted lung segmentation and COVID-19 image classification experiments using a dataset of chest X-rays. The U-net algorithm was utilized for lung segmentation of COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 images. We developed a Modified Deep Convolutional Neural Network (MD-CNN) to classify the two image classes. The MD-CNN model was compared with two other models, ResNet and AlexNet, and evaluated for accuracy, sensitivity (recall), specificity, positive predictive value (precision), F1-score, and area under the curve (AUC). Results: Our experimental results demonstrate that the MD-CNN model achieved an accuracy of 97.95%, outperforming ResNet and AlexNet, which achieved 90.25% and 78.95%, respectively. The MD-CNN model also exhibited better sensitivity, F1-score, and AUC than the other models, while its specificity and precision were comparable to those of the ResNet model. Conclusion: The proposed MD-CNN model demonstrates significant potential for high accuracy in COVID-19 image detection compared to ResNet and AlexNet. It can serve as a useful tool for radiologists in the COVID-19 screening process, potentially reducing the workload, and improving the efficiency of COVID-19 diagnosis.
Offensive Language Detection Using Soft Voting Ensemble Model
Authors: Fieri Brillian , Suhartono Derwin
Published: July 2023

Offensive language is one of the problems that have become increasingly severe along with the rise of the internet and social media usage. This language can be used to attack a person or specific groups. Automatic moderation, such as the usage of machine learning, can help detect and filter this particular language for someone who needs it. This study focuses on improving the performance of the soft voting classifier to detect offensive language by experimenting with the combinations of the soft voting estimators. The model was applied to a Twitter dataset that was augmented using several augmentation techniques. The features were extracted using Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency, sentiment analysis, and GloVe embedding. In this study, there were two types of soft voting models: machine learning-based, with the estimators of Random Forest, Decision Tree, Logistic Regression, Naïve Bayes, and AdaBoost as the best combination, and deep learning-based, with the best estimator combination of Convolutional Neural Network, Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory, and Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit. The results of this study show that the soft voting classifier was better in performance compared to classic machine learning and deep learning models on both original and augmented datasets.

Published: July 2023

The Indonesian government provides incentives to facilitate community development through various funding programs to improve the economy and restore the national economy. However, there were many obstacles in determining the proper target beneficiaries. This study aims to assist decision-makers in determining targeted and accountable beneficiary candidates. In this study, a hybrid Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method with Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) was used and integrated with machine learning modeling using Logistic Regression (LR). The AHP approach is used to determine the weight of each criterion, and the SAW method is used to sort out each available alternative with the help of an expert team's assessment. Instead, the LR method is used for the predictive analysis and classification of the resulting data.
Modeling the Badminton Stroke Pattern Through the Sequential Pattern Discovery Using Equivalent Classes (SPADE) Algorithm
Authors: Sari Jefita Resti , Ahdika Atina
Published: July 2023

Badminton is one of the most popular sports in the world, especially in Asia. It has a parent organization called Badminton World Federation (BWF). Discussion about player strategies in winning various championships held by BWF is an interesting topic to discuss. This paper aims to analyze the hitting patterns of badminton players by paying attention to the sequence of types of strokes made by the players, including lobs, netting, smashes, drives, and dropshots. Sequential pattern discovery using the equivalent class algorithm (SPADE) is the appropriate method to identify these problems because it can determine the rules and probabilities of player's hitting patterns based on the order of the types of strokes. In this paper, we analyze the stroke pattern of the two top-ranked badminton players in the men's singles sector at the Malaysia Open 2022 championship, where Viktor Axelsen and Kento Momota met in the final. Based on the results of these research, we analyze the strategies and recommended hitting patterns from the information on the two players' patterns. The results of this study, in general, can be used as information for players to understand and analyze the opponent's performance or strategy before competing.

Weather as cinema
Authors: Dymond Chris
Published: July 2023

This article analyzes weather as enabler of, and able to make, cinematic art. I begin by exploring philosophies of weather and air, and then look at early films where meteoro-logical phenomena receive acute attention alongside related media analyses. Afterwards I analyze two artworks, by Madge Evers and Anna Scime. Each was made by mush-rooms sporifying on receptive media, respectively paper and analog film. This article includes original interviews with both artists.I identify fresh ways of understanding cinema but also weatherly and fungal creativity. Analyzing such artworks, I also think about how artists can develop art practices able to galvanize instead of eviscerate futurity. Consequently, I not only investigate more-than-human creativity, but explore how cinema can facilitate instead of block ecological heal-ing.
Mistification
Authors: Bicudo de Castro Vicente , Coelho Heitor , Bantim Frambach Danilo
Published: July 2023

We live in a world increasingly dominated by technology, and there are many technological advances that we frequently use about which we know very little. Among them, one we know mostly through metaphor stands out: “cloudification”. Metaphors play a central role in our understanding of the concepts and ideas that present themselves, revealing for the first time something that was already there. In this way, we propose the term mistification as a more accurate expression of the current technocratic/technological status quo for which the terms “cloud” and “cloudification” are used. The proposed term – a neologism – conveys elements of Gothic horror which, we hope, precisely capture the current experience of end-users of the cloud. Using New Dark Age (Bridle, 2018) as a point of departure, we propose an analogy between end-users of the cloud with players in a Gothic horror role-playing game, namely the Ravenloft campaign setting of Dungeons & Dragons. Similarly to players in a Gothic horror game, end-users remain ignorant and helpless against all too powerful technocratic/technological giants and their pursuits. This article adds elements belonging to a horror role-playing game campaign setting to a wider cross-disciplinary discussion regarding human-machine interaction.
New evidence for late Eocene-early Oligocene uplift of Aves Ridge and paleogeography of GAARlandia
Authors: Iturralde Vinent Manuel Antonio , D.E. Ross
Published: July 2023

The GAARlandia hypothesis has produced vigorous debate among biologists regarding whether now-submerged landforms that existed in the Caribbean region during the late Paleogene might have acted as a barrier for marine organisms and as a bridge for terrestrial biotas migrating from South America into the Greater Antilles. This concept derived from the hypothesized emergence history of the Aves Ridge. In the quarter century since GAARlandia was first proposed, new paleontological, geological and geophysical information has greatly extended the database available. Here we reaffirm that GAARlandia was a positive topographic feature from middle Eocene, and was exposed above sea level between late Eocene and early Oligocene when it facilitated biotic colonization of the northern Greater Antilles and their satellite islands, whether as a series of closely spaced islands or as a continuous peninsula projecting from northeastern South America along the crown of the rise.
La reparació del trauma a la infància des del model de traumateràpia sistèmica infantojuvenil de Barudy i Dantagnan i la seva transcendència en l'àmbit de l'educació
Authors: Martínez Vázquez Concepción
Published: July 2023

L'escola actual és testimoni i alhora protagonista involuntària de les conseqüències derivades dels maltractaments a la infància. Docents de totes les etapes educatives presencien a les aules situacions d'hostilitat, apatia, reactivitat emocional desproporcionada, comportament impulsiu, dificultats per acceptar els límits i l'autoritat. I és que el trauma infantil no entén d'edats, factors socials o econòmics, i encara que el seu origen es troba gairebé sempre a les etapes més primerenques del desenvolupament infantil, les manifestacions a l'aula i les seves repercussions a nivell personal, acadèmic i social acompanyen el nen o nena més enllà del temps en què van passar els maltractaments. Els i les docents, en tant que professionals privilegiats per a la detecció de factors de risc, necessiten comprendre i adaptar la seva tasca educativa a l'hora de donar resposta a les necessitats que nens, nenes i adolescents afectats per trauma presenten, a més de no realitzar una re-victimització que els col·loqui en una situació de major vulnerabilitat.La Traumateràpia Sistèmica Infanto-Juvenil de Barudy i Dantagnan ofereix un marc comprensiu de les conseqüències traumàtiques dels maltractaments en la infància, i actualment és un model terapèutic integrador, coherent i eficaç. Aquest paradigma es nodreix de les aportacions relacionades amb l'aferrament, la psicologia del trauma, la psicologia del desenvolupament, l'estudi de les competències parentals i la resiliència, oferint, des d'una perspectiva metodològica de recerca-acció, un model especialitzat.Les actuacions realitzades des de tres nivells d'intervenció -la persona del nen, nena o adolescent, els seus cuidadors i els/les professionals dels contextos en què es desenvolupa- converteixen aquesta manera d'abordatge del patiment infantil, tal com es recull a la experiència acumulada de més de dues dècades, en un model que permet i afavoreix l'ecologia social del bon tracte, incorporant a les intervencions de caràcter ecològic-sistèmic, la figura de la persona professional de l'educació com a part del teixit social per a la promoció de la resiliència secundària i la reparació del trauma als 3 blocs d'intervenció, tal com recull aquesta proposta.

Objectives

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted people’s mental health. We explored the levels of depression and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and their relation with physical activity and social interaction during the pandemic.

 

Methods

We surveyed two different groups of university students to measure depression , generalized anxiety, physical activity and social interaction in two different moments of the pandemic. The survey was conducted in October/November 2020, after a peak of contagions. Some of the participants were surveyed again in January 2021 for longitudinal analysis.

 

Results

Both mental health parameters were positively correlated for men and women.. Moreover, low levels of depression and anxiety were associated with performing physical activity for more than two days a week and to longer periods of social interaction. Finally, the second survey revealed a decrease in mental health symptoms.

 

Conclusions

Performing regular physical activity and avoiding long periods of social isolation gave benefits to mental health.
elementos esenciales de la educación: una mirada humanística de la neuroeducación
Authors: Santandreu Mayol Antoni , Gamo José Ramón
Published: July 2023

Este artículo discute el papel de la neuroeducación en los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje desde una perspectiva humanística. Porque, a pesar de haber captado la atención de la comunidad científica y educativa, con la creciente complejidad en el diseño y la metodología educativa, algunos docentes pueden experimentar una suerte de "neurofobia". Aunque, se reconoce que, debido a varios cambios axiales a lo largo de la historia, la educación está en constante cambio. Estos cambios han sido impulsados por convergencias en la ciencia, la tecnología, entre otros aspectos. Sin embargo, con dicha complejidad, se aboga la necesidad de equilibrar la innovación con la consideración de los "elementos esenciales de la educación". Estos elementos esenciales, también persistentes a lo largo de la historia, están intrínsecamente ligados a la inteligencia humana y, en consecuencia, a la creación de culturas. Los humanos avanzamos mediante la resolución de problemas utilizando nuestra inteligencia. Estas soluciones se cristalizan en nuestra cultura y, a su vez, influencian nuestra inteligencia. Nuestros deseos desencadenan la inteligencia, generando emociones que movilizan la maquinaria neurocognitiva para tomar decisiones y actuar. Sin embargo, es esencial que humanicemos nuestra inteligencia educándola en valores para evitar sesgos cognitivos y propiciar decisiones que sean en beneficio para todos. Asimismo, es necesario adoptar una actitud de "valentía del hacer" para convertir las decisiones en acciones, pero siendo críticos antes que valientes, y en búsqueda de la felicidad colectiva. No debemos olvidar estimular el desarrollo de las tres grandes revoluciones cognitivas: la representación mental, el lenguaje y la lectoescritura. Igualmente, es importante apoyar la educación como inversión en capital humano y social, para ayudar a superar obstáculos significativos para el progreso humano, como el miedo, el odio, los prejuicios, la ignorancia y la pobreza. En conclusión, la educación debe trascender de la mera exposición de conocimientos instrumentales y sofisticados, y en su lugar, enfatizar en la esencialidad de formar individuos con capacidad para entender y enriquecer su cultura, para no solo acceder a la información, sino también manejar el conocimiento y progresar en cualquier contexto. Porque educar es más que estar al día, es sembrar el progreso.
Negar una ética de fundamentos, ¿implica sostener una ética arbitraria? Crítica a la caracterización de Zavadivker de la teoría ética de Bunge
Authors: Teixidó Durán Óscar Frederic , Primero Gerardo
Published: July 2023

En su libro Una ética sin fundamentos, Nicolás Zavadivker sostiene que la teoría ética y metaética de Mario Bunge pretende fundamentar las normas morales en premisas fácticas, sin hacer uso de valores. El presente trabajo discute esa tesis y sostiene que la teoría de Bunge busca construir y evaluar un sistema de valores y de normas, de forma rigurosa y sin arbitrariedad, a partir de conocimientos fácticos y valores de los evaluadores. Dado que la teoría de Bunge incluye valores entre sus premisas argumentativas, es incorrecto categorizarla como una posición fundacionista que prescinde de valores.
Acerca del problema del ser y el deber ser desde un punto de vista metaético
Authors: Ghisletti Panné Lucía Josefina
Published: July 2023

David Hume presentó en un conocido pasaje de su Tratado de la Naturaleza Humana un sencillo argumento contra los filósofos morales de su época que concluían proposiciones normativas a partir de premisas puramente descriptivas (v. g. "Dios existe, entonces no se debe mentir"). A partir de entonces se abrió un abanico de respuestas y objeciones respecto de la validez de estas inferencias, las cuales se deslizan incluso a nuestros días. A través de la defensa del Naturalismo, podemos dar argumentos para rechazar la ley de Hume. Sin embargo, el objetivo de este trabajo no es seguir agregando a una ya bastante considerable pila de argumentos pos y contra de esta ley, sino más bien reconsiderar la discusión a la luz del campo de la Metaética.
Cuerpos incómodos. Política 'queer' de Sara Ahmed
Authors: Del Olmo Campillo Gemma
Published: July 2023

Abandonar la promesa de la felicidad como objetivo de vida y pensar la posibilidad de habitar la infelicidad es la propuesta política y feminista de Ahmed para evitar los abusos cometidos en nombre de la felicidad. Este trabajo se centra en el análisis de los sujetos voluntariosos, en cómo los constantes disciplinamientos sociales y la opresión de los marcos conceptuales provocan que sus vidas transcurran en la incomodidad. A partir de ahí, se incide en mostrar que un camino de resistencia a la promesa de la felicidad podría ser resignificar la infelicidad en una dirección prometedora que cambie las preguntas relevantes y acepte las formas alternativas de vida como deseables modos de convivencia.
