La inteligencia artificial y el proceso de aprendizaje en el nivel universitario, ¿De qué manera aprenden los estudiantes universitarios?
Authors:   Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala, Alvarado Vásquez Héctor Danilo
Published: October 2024

OBJETIVO: Describir la manera en la que los estudiantes universitarios están aprendiendo en la actualidad. MÉTODO: El trabajo de investigación es de tipo documental bajo una metodología de revisión bibliográfica, debido a la necesidad de conocer la información existente en otras investigaciones y los resultados obtenidos en las mismas. RESULTADOS: Los estudiantes universitarios aprenden cuando revisan la información brindada por las herramientas de inteligencia artificial, esto requiere de una conciencia y de ética para que realmente exista el aprendizaje, de lo contrario el estudiante es receptor de información y emisor de la misma sin conocerla adecuadamente y esto hace que el trabajo presentado no tenga pertinencia ni contexto y se debe tomar en cuenta que la responsabilidad es compartida entre el estudiante y el docente. CONCLUSIÓN: el aprendizaje depende del estudiante, su responsabilidad, compromiso y ética son fundamentales para lograr los objetivos en ese sentido, así como la importancia de que el docente si bien es cierto en la actualidad es denominado un facilitador y acompañante del aprendizaje no debe dejar solo y reducir su responsabilidad en relación a que éste lo logre. Así también es fundamental tener claridad en que el proceso de enseñanza no esta aislado de esta temática y es importante que el docente este a la vanguardia en términos de uso de herramientas tecnológicas para que los resultados de un estudiante no lo sorprendan.
“BÜYÜK BRİTANYA’NIN BOĞAZINI KESMEK” : SOVYETLERİN 1945’TE TÜRKİYE’DEN TALEPLERİ VE İNGİLİZ KAMUOYUNUN TEPKİSİ
Authors: İzmir Bahar
Published: October 2024

ABD ve Sovyetler Birliği’nin başını çektiği iki kutuplu uluslararası sistemde, Türkiye, Sovyetler Birliği’nin yayılmacı tehditlerine karşı Batı ile daha yakın ilişkiler kurma yolunu benimsemiştir. 1945 yılı, bu bağlamda, Türkiye’nin Batı’ya yönelmesinde ve Sovyet tehdidine karşı aldığı tutumda önemli bir dönemeç olmuştur. Özellikle bu yıl, hem Türk-Sovyet ilişkilerinin geleceği hem de Türk-İngiliz ittifakının temellerinin atılmasında kritik bir rol oynamış, Türkiye’nin Batı Bloğunda konumlanmasının önünü açmıştır. II. Dünya Savaşı’nın ardından Sovyetler Birliği’nin 1925 yılındaki Dostluk ve Saldırmazlık Antlaşması’nı tanımadığını açıklaması ve Boğazlardan üs ile Kars ve Ardahan’ı talep etmesi Türk-Sovyet ilişkilerinin bundan sonraki kaderini belirlemiştir. Nitekim sonraki yılların Türk dış politikasının Sovyet karşıtlığı ve Batı yanlısı olma şeklindeki genel kabulleri bu krizle birlikte olgunlaşmıştır. Sovyetler Birliği, ABD ve Türkiye’nin yanı sıra İngiltere bu olayda önemli bir aktör olarak öne çıkmıştır. Gerek bölgedeki ekonomik çıkarları gerekse de kolonyal çıkarları doğrultusunda, Türkiye’nin Sovyet nüfuzuna girme ihtimali İngiltere’yi paniğe sevk etmiştir. Bu makale, söz konusu süreçte İngiliz Hükümeti’nin ve basınının tepkisini ortaya koymayı, konuyu İngiliz penceresinden ele almayı amaçlamıştır. Nitekim bu çalışma, İngiliz kamuoyunun Türkiye’nin yaşadığı bu ciddi tehdit karşısındaki tepkisini, İngiliz parlamento tutanakları, gazeteleri ve arşiv belgeleri yoluyla anlama ve konuya yeni bir perspektif sunma iddiası taşımaktadır. Kamuoyunu anlamak için, makalede İngiliz belgeleri, parlamento tutanakları, Moskova ve Ankara’daki büyükelçilerin raporları, İngiliz kolonyal çıkarlarını savunan ana akım gazetelerin yanı sıra birçok yerel gazete kullanılmış, bu sayede İngiliz yetkililerin Türkiye’ye dair tasavvurunun ne olduğu analiz edilmeye çalışılmıştır.
POST-PENAL ASSISTANCE THROUGH THE REHABILITATION AND TRAINING OF CONVICTS AS A FACTOR IN REDUCING RECIDIVISM
Authors: Simović Milica
Published: October 2024

In recent years, there has been significant discussion about the contribution of treatment activities as key factors in the rehabilitation of offenders, which not only serve their rehabilitative function but also play a role in reducing recidivism rates and facilitating the reintegration of former offenders into society. The question of recidivism among offenders has been linked to numerous factors influencing their return, often without clarifying the main tenets of post-penal acceptance as effective programs that every offender should benefit from upon release from prison. What constitutes post-penal acceptance, how much it contributes to the longevity of offenders staying free, the challenges it faces, and its prospects are the main questions addressed in this work, aimed at raising awareness in the broader community about this complex, under-researched criminological area.

Age restrictions in the job recruitment process are an increasingly relevant issue in many countries, causing discrimination against job applicants who meet the qualifications but are considered unsuitable simply because of their age. This study examines the application of age restrictions in job applications from the perspective of human rights, as well as its impact on equal employment opportunities, social welfare, and economic productivity. Through literature studies, it was found that age discrimination, both against young and elderly age groups, is still rampant in Indonesia, even though it contradicts the principles of equality in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). While regulations such as the Age Discrimination in Employment Act in the U.S., the Employment Equality Directive in the European Union, and Law No. 13 of 2003 on Employment have been implemented, weaknesses in law enforcement and strong age stereotypes remain major obstacles. This study emphasizes that the age limit in job applications is a violation of the right to decent work and recommends the implementation of competency-based recruitment policies, strengthening anti-discrimination regulations, and raising awareness of the importance of creating an inclusive work environment. This step is important for building a fairer, more dynamic, and sustainable labor market in the era of industrial transformation.

The most prevalent illness in the oral cavity and in general dentistry practice is oral candidiasis, often known as thrush, which can afflict anyone. Candida albicans, which is typically present in the mouths of approximately 50% of the global population as a normal component of the oral microbiota but during host immunosuppression or alterations in oral microbiota, is the most frequently implicated organism in this condition. It is a fungal infection caused by Candida spp. If the conditions within the mouth alter in a way that promotes the growth of Candida albicans, the organism may proliferate and result in an infection. Additional variables that may contribute to this oral infection include dentures, diabetes, cancer, mucosal disorders, and some pharmacological therapies. Although the fungus that causes candidiasis cannot be passed from person to person, it can be through an infected person's saliva. The symptoms, which include elevated patches in the mouth that bleed and become sore when scraped, as well as white or yellow spots in the mouth, especially on the tongue and inside of the cheeks, are usually simple to see. It is present in many healthy individuals and settles in the mucous membrane of the oral cavity. The general consensus is that there are six recognized clinical manifestations of candidiasis: pseudomembranous, erythematous, denture-associated, hyperplastic, angular cheilitis, and median rhomboid glossitis. Patients with the condition typically exhibit a single distinct type, though occasionally a single patient may exhibit multiple clinical variants. Patients who visited the dentistry department's clinics at Hilla University College in Babylon, Iraq between October 2022 and April 2023 provided the data.

Published: October 2024

Background: The present study was aimed to investigate the pharmacological properties of a medicinally significant herbal species, Trichodesma indicum. Phytochemical analysis of methanol, ethanol, acetone, petroleum ether and aqueous extracts of T.indicum was explored. Methodology: Antibacterial activity of these solvent extracts of T.indicum was determined against the test organisms (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella sp. and Proteus sp.) using well diffusion method. Anti-oxidant activity for three different standard concentrations (100, 200 and 300μg/ml) of T.indicum methanol extract was determined using DPPH, superoxide scavenging activity and nitric oxide scavenging activity assays. Wound healing efficacy of T.indicum methanol extract was investigated using standard in vitro wound scratch assay. Results: Phytochemical analysis explored the presence of alkaloids, phenols, flavonoids, tannins and terpenoids in higher level for methanol extracts of T.indicum. Antibacterial activity of the methanol extracts of T.indicum exhibited inhibitory zones ranging from 27 to 29mm against all the test bacteria; which was comparatively maximum than other solvent extracts. Hence methanol extract was used for anti-oxidant activity and wound healing studies. Anti-oxidant DPPH assays revealed IC50 value of 292.19µg/ml for T. indicum extract. Superoxide scavenging activity expressed IC50 value of 192.34µg/ml; and nitric oxide scavenging activity showed IC50 value of 224.64µg/ml respectively. The self-wound healing ability of T.indicum extracts showed positive cell migration and cell proliferation after 12 th and 24th hours indicating the wound closure under in vitro conditions. Conclusion & recommendation: The research showed promising results and evidenced pharmacological properties of the selected medicinally significant T.indicum. Further studies like anti-diabetic, antifungal and antiviral properties shall be considered based on the above results.

Since the liberation of April 30, 1975, the province has devoted resources to prioritizing investment in transport infrastructure in a relatively synchronous and complete manner in the direction of modernity, focus and focus, focusing on projects that are connected, pervasive, creating a driving force for socio-economic development; the quality of road transport is improving day by day, further affirming that the implementation of the transport goal is one step ahead in the process of construction and socio-economic development of the province is completely correct. Achieving this result is a whole process of efforts and joint efforts of the whole political system and the whole society with the motto "The State and the people do it together". The article will focus on pointing out the need to prioritize investment in transport infrastructure development in the province, its completion process and its contribution to the province's socio-economic development process in recent years, especially in the period 1997 - 2022.
Lack of Nationalism through a Stylistic-Discourse Reading of Christopher Henry Muwanga Barlow’s “Building the Nation”
Authors:   PhD Candidate, Bukavu Teacher’s Training College, Department of English and African Culture Bukavu, Democratic Republic of the Congo, NGITSI Barnabé KATSUVA
Published: October 2024

The issue related to Nationalism has been the core of debates over decades by Africans since Africa’s independences. This paper investigates the attitudes taken by post-independence leaders as displayed in Henry Barlow’s “Building the Nation”. The study was qualitative through mere text analysis theories. The Discourse Analysis together with Stylistics has shown that leaders take the power as a tool of subjugation and domination of the proletarians or low class. Furthermore, leaders grab not only the throne but also seize their opportunity to eat and drink to lapidate the nation’s wealth. It was also found out that instead of building the nation, African politicians build their bellies. As a result, the higher class they get the richer they become while the workers and peasants get poorer. However, it was noticed that while clinging to the thrones, they not only destruct their nations through embezzlements but they also destroy their health by consuming drugs and sumptuous meals. To overcome this scourge, the proletarians should unite to make manly tempest in order to expel the oppressors out.

Taxpayer (WP) compliance is the main factor that greatly influences the increase in state revenue from the tax sector. This factor is very important to continue to study so as to produce appropriate strategic innovations to increase tax revenues. This is because WP compliance always experiences fluctuations that are very difficult to predict. This difficulty can be overcome by implementing a tax strategy that suits certain segments of taxpayer groups, especially those from potential sectors. Tourism is a potential tax-generating sector for the country. This research aims to determine the compliance of taxpayers who are tourism sector workers in the South Badung KPP Pratama area. The analysis was carried out using different tests on the compliance of taxpayers with the status of independent workers and private employees in the tourism sector. The results of the qualitative analysis show that the right strategy to increase taxpayer compliance at KPP Pratama South Badung is through examples from public figures, print media and direct warnings.
Desordem e criticalidade dinâmica em redes de contato geradas por empacotamento aleatório de discos polidispersos
Authors:   , Silva Thainá Ferreira
Published: October 2024

Quaisquer sistemas em que se formam estruturas de contato estão sujeitos a perturbações aleatórias, quer sejam impurezas na estrutura cristalina de um material ou estruturas heterogêneas de interações em sistemas complexos. Uma classe importante destas estruturas são as redes planares aperiódicas que podem emergir em materiais ou redes de infraestrutura tais como estações de energia e de transporte. A relevância dessa desordem pode ser investigada por meio do expoente de wandering, ω. Quando a desordem do sistema é relevante para a criticalidade do modelo, segundo o critério de Harris-Luck, ω > ωc , onde ωc = 1−(1/dν⊥ ), a qual depende da dimensão do sistema, d, e do expoente do comprimento de correlação do sistema sem desordem, ν⊥ . Diante disso, buscamos estudar se estruturas geradas a partir de modelos de empacotamento de discos rı́gidos formam estruturas com desordem relevante. Para isso, foram estudados três modelos de empacotamento de discos rı́gidos com partı́culas polidispersas. A partir desses modelos, redes de contato com vı́nculos geométricos foram construı́das e caracterizadas utilizando teoria de grafos. Os resultados obtidos para a caracterização das redes relacionadas aos três modelos são semelhantes. Quando o raio mı́nimo das partı́culas tende a zero, as redes apresentam distribuição de grau com cauda pesada, estruturas hierárquicas, desassociativas e aumento da dimensão topológica. A partir do decaimento da ﬂutuação do grau, podemos veriﬁcar se o expoente de wandering excede ωc , resultado este observado em todos os modelos, indicando desordem relevante pelo critério de Harris-Luck. Analisamos o efeito da desordem dessas redes na criticalidade do modelo suscetı́vel-infectado-suscetı́vel (SIS), nas quais não foram observadas assinaturas de mudanças na criticalidade da transição. Veriﬁcamos assim que a desordem produzida pela ﬂutuação do grau não é capaz de alterar a criticalidade do sistema, o que, a princı́pio, viola o critério de Harris-Luck. Palavras-chave: desordem, fenômenos crı́ticos, empacotamento aleatório.
Morfologia e volatilômica das glândulas pré-faríngeas e farínngeas de operárias de Paraponera clavata (Hymenoptera: Paraponerinae) e Pachycondyla crassinoda (Hymenoptera: Ponerinae)
Authors:   , Sousa Erika Vanessa da Costa Carvalho
Published: October 2024

As formigas são amplamente distribuídas em quase todos os ecossistemas terrestres e são classificadas como insetos eusociais, devido ao seu alto grau de socialização e características sociais bem definidas. Elas possuem um sistema complexo de glândulas exócrinas que produzem substâncias essenciais para a manutenção social. Entre essas glândulas, as pré-faríngeas e faríngeas são as mais proeminentes na cabeça da formiga, embora suas funções ainda não sejam totalmente compreendidas. A caracterização morfológica destas glândulas em Paraponera clavata e Pachycondyla crassinoda é limitada, ressaltando a importância de sua análise para contribuir com a compreensão das funções no comportamento das formigas. O objetivo foi comparar a morfologia e compostos das glândulas pré-faríngeas e faríngeas em operárias de P. clavata e P. crassinoda. As glândulas pré-faríngeas e faríngeas foram examinadas por microscopia de luz, eletrônica de varredura e em cromatografia de fase gasosa acoplada à espectrometria de massas. Os resultados revelam que ambas as glândulas diferem tanto em anatomia quanto em histologia entre as duas espécies. A glândula pré-faríngea de P.clavata é volumosa, alongada e com complexos sistemas de ductos, enquanto em P. crassinoda elas são menores em formato de cachos de uvas e com uma única abertura para liberação da secreção na faringe. O volume da glândula pré-faríngea apresenta correlação positiva com o tamanho corporal de P. clavata, mas não com P. crassinoda. As análises histoquímicas desta glândula indicam diferenças na presença de proteínas, glicoproteínas, polissacarídeos e lipídios entre as espécies. Essas variações sugerem adaptações específicas relacionadas à função glandular, possivelmente relacionados com a produção de enzimas. As glândulas faríngeas de P. clavata e P. crassinoda apresentam diferenças na anatomia e histologia entre as formigas analisadas. Enquanto P. clavata exibe a glândula com inúmeras projeções tubulares, em P. crassinoda ela formada por dois lóbulos distintos. Além disso, as análises histológicas e histoquímicas demonstraram variações na histologia e na intensidade de reações entre as duas espécies, possivelmente adaptadas à função da glândula faríngea na comunicação química entre os co-especificos. Os compostos químicos produzidos nas glândulas de ambas as espécies são predominantemente formados por hidrocarbonetos, sugerindo um potencial envolvimento da glândula faríngea na síntese e liberação de hidrocarbonetos para a comunicação dentro das colônias das formigas estudadas. Esses resultados inéditos para P. clavata e P. crassinoda evidenciam a importância das glândulas pré- faríngea e faríngea nas funções metabólicas e comunicação química nas colônias de formiga. Palavras-chave: Formigas; Glândulas exócrinas; Composição química; Comportamento social.
Cardiac Toxicities of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: More Awareness is Needed
Authors:   Faculty of Medicine, Saint-Joseph University, Beirut, BP-17 5208, Lebanon, Nicolas Jad , Nicolas Jessica ,   Department of Internal Medicine, American University of Beirut Medical Center, Lebanon
Published: October 2024

Immune checkpoints inhibitors (ipilimumab, nivolumab, pembrolizumab, cemiplimab, atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab) are monoclonal antibodies that target cell membrane receptors (CTLA-4, PD-1, PDL-1) implicated in the immunosuppression. This results in activation of the lymphocytic immune response leading to CD8+ T cells proliferation in many organs including the heart. However, the management consists of stopping the immunotherapy and starting high-dose corticosteroids. The incidence of these toxicities as well as their pathophysiology, risk factors, onset and prognosis are not clearly established yet due to the lack of data and cohort studies. Despite the FDA approval of these drugs in the treatment of many refractory cancers, they should be used with caution due to their devastating repercussions.

Intention. The author's intention is to provide evidence that every possible encounter with a creative Chimera is a consequence of the psychodynamic processes of the therapist-patient dyad. Methodology. Analysis of specialized literature and clinical cases. The results and their analysis. As a result of the study, a conclusion was made about the rational origin of the newly appeared images of Chimeras. The author also calls for the interpretative retelling of the patient's mental material to be considered chimeras. The results and their analysis. The analyst provides his own Unconscious, Ego and Superego to support the still unstable mental instances of the analyzed. Awareness of the therapist's own mental processes helps to expand knowledge about himself and helps to avoid hoaxes and deviations from the method of psychoanalysis.
THE MYTH OF "PROXIES" (REPLACERS) AND THE SO-CALLED PHENOMENA OF CONSTELLATIONS
Authors: Haas Werner
Published: October 2024

In Hellinger's family constellations, as well as in the (systemic) constellation work of practitioners who do not directly refer (or no longer refer) to Hellinger, the concept of substitution plays a central role. Its roots go back to occult ideas. It is assumed that in constellations, the participants, called "substitutes", act as true representatives of the real members of the system and are supposedly able to reliably reflect their internal
states and relationships with each other. In this article, we will critically examine this assertion, which is fundamental to the constellation process and has been called the "constellation phenomenon". Contrary to the assertion that we are dealing with a phenomenon that is incomprehensible from a naturalistic point of view, it is shown that the process of constellations can be easily explained with the help of psychological
mechanisms, some of which have been known for a very long time, as well as in the light of recent discoveries about so-called mirror neurons. According to this, there is no mysterious "transfer of information" between the participants in the constellation and the members of the family system, but rather a creative and highly error-prone simulation in order to reconstruct the depicted system.

Published: October 2024

This study examined the impact of intangible assets (IA) on banks’ financial performance (FP), specifically in Nigeria using the five biggest banks in the country. The banks include Zenith Bank, United Bank for Africa, Guarantee Trust Bank, Access Bank, and First Bank of Nigeria. The study sought to address the conflicting findings in light of the paucity of research in developing nations, to determine the relevance of the relationships. Secondary data analysis was used, emphasizing total intangible assets and FP indicators like ROA, EPS and DPS. Using firm size as a control variable for robustness, a panel data analysis method was used while Eviews software was employed to analyze the data culled from the banks’ financial reports over ten years (2013–2022). The natural log of total assets indicates firm size, whereas the natural log of all intangible assets represents intangible assets. The findings showed intangible assets have positive significant relationships with all the FP metrics (ROA, DPS, and EPS) used. The study concluded that the IA of Nigerian banks impact their FP positively and significantly. Banks should prioritize investments in IA, to enhance the profitability metrics such as ROA, DPS, and EPS.

Published: October 2024

The introduction of business income tax required the use of debt capital (leverage) to enhance financial functioning given the tax savings. In consequence, the study significantly investigated the degree and disposition of the relationship between leverage, risk-taking and stability vis-a-vis listed deposit money banks in Nigeria. The study period was 9years (i.e. 2013-2022). The study adopted ex-post facto research design making use of data already in existence. Diagnostic tests carried out indicated absence of unit roots and multi-colinearity. However, skewness, kurtosis Jarque-Beta was tested in presence of non-constant variance is found. Panel least squares, were employed in analyzing data collated from the audited financial statements of the sampled deposit money banks with the aid of E views 9.0. The result reveals that Total debt has positive and significant effect on shareholders’ value in the Nigerian deposit money banks with t-statistics of 7.548348 was greater than 2.0 and probability value of 0.0000 which is less than 0.05. It was also observed that equity securities has positive and significant effect on shareholders’ value in the Nigerian deposit money banks with t-statistics of 4.979062 was greater than 2.0 and probability value of 0.0011 which is less than 0.05. The study further shows that trade payable has positive and significant effect on shareholders’ value in the Nigerian deposit money banks with t-statistics of 4.734520 was greater than 2.0 and probability value of 0.0001 which is less than 0.05. It was equally observed that debt to equity ratio has positive and significant effect on shareholders’ value in the Nigerian deposit money banks with t-statistics of 4.889020 was greater than 2.0 and probability value of 0.0017 which is less than 0.05. It suggested that best possible Debt Management Nigerian deposit money banks should carefully manage their total debt levels. While debt can provide necessary financial leverage, it should be kept at manageable levels to avoid excessive financial risk. Implication of the findings is that banks should monitor their debt structures and ensure they are sustainable over the long term. Again, emphasize Equity Investments is given the positive impact of equity securities on shareholders’ value; banks should consider emphasizing equity investments as part of their financial strategy. This could involve seeking opportunities for equity capital injection or optimizing their existing equity portfolios.

Nâng cao chất lượng dịch vụ của hệ thống giao thông công cộng (GTCC) mang lại trải nghiệm tốt cho hành khách. Tuy nhiên vẫn còn nhiều điều chưa biết về các yếu tố quyết định đến chất lượng hệ thống GTCC, đặc biệt là ở những nước đang phát triển. Nghiên cứu này khám phá yếu tố môi trường xã hội ảnh hưởng đến sự hài lòng của hành khách. Mô hình phương trình cấu trúc bình phương nhỏ nhất từng phần (PLS-SEM) được thử nghiệm bằng cách sử dụng dữ liệu được thu thập từ 450 hành khách sử dụng hệ thống tàu điện tại TP. Hà Nội. Mô hình được xây dựng dựa trên hai ngữ cảnh nghiên cứu khác nhau của hệ thống GTCC là tại nhà ga và trên tàu điện. Các phát hiện của nghiên cứu chỉ ra hành vi, diện mạo của nhân viên và những người xung quanh có tác động tích cực đến sự hài lòng của hành khách. Ngược lại sự đông đúc là yếu tố có tác động mang tính tiêu cực. Những phát hiện này gợi ý đến việc tập trung vào đào tạo nhân viên, duy trì môi trường ga tàu và trên tàu điện thân thiện, cũng như kiểm soát tình trạng đông đúc là những biện pháp quan trọng để nâng cao sự hài lòng và trải nghiệm của hành khách. Từ đó thu hút thêm lượng người sử dụng hệ thống GTCC

Purpose: This study sought to establish the influence of antenatal care counseling on psychosocial adaptation among adolescent mothers in Western Kenya and informed the development of a framework that would enhance psychosocial adaptation.
Method: This health facility-based cross-sectional study was founded on Lazarus and Folkman’s psychosocial coping theory (1986) and Livneh’s psychosocial adaptation to chronic illness and disability framework (2001). It was conducted in three purposively selected County referral hospitals in Western Kenya among 438 sequentially selected adolescent mothers (10-19 years) who had visited antenatal care clinics during antenatal period. Frequency distribution and chi-square analysis were performed to test associations, and correlation (according to Cohen’s guideline of 1988) was included to determine the effect size of counseling provided. Moreover, Multinomial logistic regression (MLR) was run to determine the level of prediction of the variables to psychosocial adaptation (PSA).
Results: Findings indicted that counseling provided for adolescent mothers in Western Kenya did not translate to significant levels of psychosocial adaptation. Specifically, while addressing depression, anxiety child irresponsiveness, and school dropout were significantly associated with respective psychosocial adaptation (p< 0.05), they were weakly correlated (r <.3) and among technical skills employed, only responsiveness and assurance were found to be moderately corelated with self-esteem (r> .3, p< 0.05). Significant predictive variables for the outcome (PSA) from chi square analysis and MLR, occurred singly and not in combination. They included; statistically significant relationship between provision of counseling on child irresponsiveness (x=9.26, df= 1, p=0.002); empathy (x= 5.69, df=1, p=0.017); responsiveness (x= 5.69, df=1, p = 0.005) and self-esteem, while responsiveness (x=17.5, df= 2, p=0.001) and clarity (x= 8.54, df= 2, p <0.014) were significantly associated with societal interaction. In addition, counselling adolescent mothers on acceptance and taking up maternal responsibilities (x=33.12, df=4, p<0.05); assurance (x=10.27, df=4, p=0.036) and responsiveness (x=28.64, df=4, p< 0.05) were found to be significantly associated with love and embrace for child among adolescent mothers. Moreover, Responsiveness exhibited by healthcare workers (HCWs) significantly contributed to love and acceptance for the child (OR, 2.1; 95%CI 0.6 -6.8) and child welfare clinic utilization (OR, 1.7; 95%CI 0.3- 9.2) among adolescent mothers.  
Recommendations: Adolescent mothers need individualized and targeted counseling to enhance psychosocial adaptation and which should be integrated into routine antenatal care.

This study focuses on the analysis of the effect of economic growth, education, and health on poverty rates in Indonesia during 2013-2022. The results showed that economic growth has a negative influence on poverty, meaning that faster economic growth does not directly reduce poverty. Education, by contrast, has a positive influence on poverty, with greater educational improvements reducing poverty. Health, in this study, did not have a significant effect on poverty, meaning that health did not play a role in reducing poverty. The conclusion of this study shows that poverty reduction strategies in Indonesia should focus on improving education and developing social programs that are more effective in reducing poverty, as well as paying attention to broader health aspects. Thus, this research contributes to the development of more effective strategies in reducing poverty in Indonesia.

Open market operations are a way for banks to control money in circulation by selling or buying government securities. OPT is closely related to the amount of money in circulation and interest rates. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of open market operations based on interest rates and the amount of money in circulation on inflation in Indonesia from 2018 to 2023. The object of this study is quantitative. The data taken is secondary data by obtaining information through the official website of Bank Indonesia and the Central Statistics Agency. The results obtained are that interest rates and the amount of money in circulation have no effect on the amount of money in circulation. This can be seen from the t-test stating that the interest rate has a t-statistic value of 0.893 with a significance value of 0.438 and the amount of money in circulation has a t-statistic of 0.313 with a probability of significance of 0.775 which when compared to the degree of error or 5 percent.

o website .paisagens [a]riscadas é a continuidade de um modo experimental de apresentar os resultados de uma pesquisa etnográfica. Uma continuidade particular – visto não ser a primeira experimentação virtual que elaboro para tal finalidade – e uma continuidade coletiva – haja vista a frutífera proliferação de suportes semelhantes no passado recente da Antropologia, a exemplo do Feral Atlas. Arriscando perder-se na malha virtual do ciberespaço, a criação de um website tem o potencial de colaborar no processo de ensino da antropologia e de difusão da pesquisa etnográfica para além do campo da disciplina, ampliando as possibilidades de contágio e conversa com outros saberes: acadêmicos ou não.

O artigo explora as coleções de borracha natural e sintética e as transformações ocorridas nas coleções do Musée de l’Homme desde 1938 em Paris, França. Ao longo da história o museu cedeu diversas coleções etnográficas e incorporou outras, mudando sua narrativa museológica, dando ênfase aà relação entre os seres humanos e o meio em que habitam. A análise de objetos de borracha destaca a substituição por materiais sintéticos, explorando complexidades socioambientais. Essas mudanças narram a interseção entre sociedade, fisicalidade e a indústria da borracha global, situando novas narrativas museológicas no antropoceno. O texto enfatiza a importância da metamuseologia, pedagogia museológica e reflexividade antropológica na compreensão crítica das práticas curatoriais e relações entre objetos, narrativas e identidades.
Recepção programada
Authors: Lassali Thais
Published: October 2024

O presente artigo propõe uma reflexão sobre a relação entre os pesquisadores que conduzem trabalho de campo em ambientes digitais e os algoritmos constitutivos das grandes plataformas contemporâneas. Para tanto, utilizarei como fio condutor argumentativo a pesquisa de campo realizada para minha tese de doutorado, que aborda a recepção de um filme blockbuster no YouTube. Uma das principais plataformas de compartilhamento de vídeos, a propriedade do conglomerado de tecnologia Alphabet Inc./Google foi utilizada como o principal meio de difusão de críticas ao referido filme, tornando-se um importante ator na constituição da impressão coletiva sobre ele. Isso se deu por meio da atuação dos algoritmos de recomendação da mídia social citada, que moldam os resultados de busca de maneira específica para cada usuário e acabam atuando como curadores do conteúdo exibido. A influência de tais estruturas algorítmicas acabaram gestando um tipo peculiar de recepção, a qual conceituei, inspirada por Taina Bucher (2018), como recepção programada. Dessa forma, o presente artigo apresenta as soluções encontradas para contornar essas limitações impostas pelo ambiente estudado. Ao mesmo tempo, aborda os questionamentos surgidos no processo, observando a necessidade de considerar, examinar e compreender o papel dos algoritmos como mediadores da pesquisa acadêmica de humanas ocorrida em plataformas, concluindo que tais entes digitais não são de todo intransponíveis, mas, ao contrário, oferecem oportunidades para o exercício da criatividade metodológica.
Meu corpo
Authors: Moreira Lucas
Published: October 2024

Meu Corpo trata-se de um recorte de imagens produzidas entre 2018 e 2020, ao longo do trabalho de campo com homens jovens, moradores de um bairro popular de Salvador, na Bahia, adeptos de uma modalidade de ginástica de rua conhecida como 'malhação' ou 'calistenia'. O foco central das atividades corporais é a transformação estética da aparência, por meio da qual também se produzem concepções morais e virtudes, orientadas pela constituição de vínculos de amizade masculina. O ensaio apresenta os interlocutores em interação com a câmera fotográfica, exibindo os efeitos musculares da prática e expressando o orgulho, a autoestima e a luta por reconhecimento, que se tornam contraponto fundamental no quadro das experiências desafiadoras que marcam as vivências das masculinidades negras nas periferias da cidade.

O artigo propõe analisar o instrumento de Registro de Bens Culturais de Natureza Imaterial utilizado pelo Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional (IPHAN). Para isso, opta-se por primeiramente problematizar o percurso da referida instituição no cenário político cultural brasileiro desde sua criação em 1937. Na sequência, a ampliação do conceito de Patrimônio Cultural feita na década de 1980 será o gancho para a análise da construção do Registro, bem como do Programa Nacional do Patrimônio Imaterial pelo IPHAN. Como exemplificação pertinente ao tema, a manifestação amazônida denominada como Carimbó dará guisa final das considerações deste texto. O estudo teve como metodologia a pesquisa bibliográfica, a pesquisa documental e entrevistas com grupos de carimbó e agentes do IPHAN.
