影像的當代特性：論「鏡像」與「映像」如何涉及「面向遼闊景觀」
Authors: 鄭庠 鄭庠
Published: March 2024

本文以邱誌勇於國家攝影文化中心策劃之「鏡像．映像：80後的當代影像藝術」展作為評論對象，展開以「鏡像」和「映像」如何作為影像的當代特性，以及此影像的知識論如何在策展中形成思辨。本文透過三個面向：第一、當代媒體技術的變革，第二、影像實踐技術的轉向，第三、影像性質的變化，來討論視覺文化的影像轉向。同時，展覽與「面向遼闊景觀」系列座談亦提供了影像公共化與檔案化的運思程序。那麼，本文認為以「鏡像．映像」為性質所構建的理論軸線，確實可以梳理、更新並拓展當代影像的理論體系。最後，本文也就論證了「鏡像．映像」如何完成了影像當代轉向的理論可能。

 

This article takes the exhibition entitled “Specularity/Reflexivity: Contemporary Image Arts after 1980s” curated by Chih-Yung Chiu at the National Center of Photography and Images as the object of art criticism, and expands to how the concept of “Specularity” and “Reflexivity” are the characteristics of contemporary images, and how the epistemology of the image is implemented in dialectic discussions formed in the exhibition. This article attempts to discuss the transformation of images in visual culture through three aspects in terms of “the transformation of contemporary media technology,” “the transformation of image practice technology,” and “the transformation of image quality.” At the same time, series of forum under the topic of “facing the vast spectacle” also provide a process of thinking regarding the publicization and archiving of images. As the result, this article considers that the theoretical axis constructed with the nature of “Specularity/Reflexivity” can indeed summarize, renew, and expand the theoretical system of contemporary images. Finally, this paper also demonstrates the theoretical possibility of how “Specularity/Reflexivity” completes the shift of contemporary images.

 
Encuesta a las empresas españolas sobre la evolución de su actividad: primer trimestre de 2024
Authors: Fernández Cerezo Alejandro , Izquierdo Mario
Published: March 2024

Motivación

La Encuesta del Banco de España sobre la Actividad Empresarial (EBAE) permite extraer, en tiempo real, información muy valiosa acerca de la facturación, el empleo y los precios pagados y cobrados por una muestra amplia de empresas españolas, lo que proporciona una contribución muy relevante al diagnóstico de la situación coyuntural de la economía.

Ideas principales

•Las empresas perciben un descenso de la facturación en el primer trimestre de 2024, aunque con una elevada heterogeneidad sectorial.

•Los resultados muestran, a escala agregada, una evolución más negativa de la actividad inversora en el primer trimestre del año tanto respecto al trimestre anterior como respecto a lo que esperaban las empresas hace tres meses para este trimestre.

•La actividad empresarial continúa viéndose afectada por la incertidumbre sobre la política económica —que se mantiene como principal factor condicionante— y por una creciente preocupación por las dificultades para encontrar mano de obra —cuya incidencia está asociada a mayores aumentos esperados en los costes laborales—, mientras que recientemente habría sufrido también el impacto de las tensiones geopolíticas que tienen lugar en el mar Rojo.

Herbal medications, derived from plants, have a long history of use in various cultures for their potential therapeutic effects. They are often perceived as natural and safe alternatives to conventional pharmaceuticals. However, many patients incorporate herbal remedies into their daily routines without considering potential interactions with their prescribed medications. Commonly used herbal medications include Echinacea, Ginkgo biloba, St. John's Wort, Turmeric (curcumin), Garlic, Ginseng, and Milk thistle, each with its purported uses. While these herbs have been used for generations, their safety and effectiveness may vary, and not all herbal remedies are supported by robust scientific evidence. Pharmacists play a crucial role in ensuring patient safety and optimal therapeutic outcomes when it comes to identifying and managing drug interactions with herbal medications. Their roles include medication review and assessment, risk assessment and evaluation, patient education, communication with healthcare providers, and meticulous documentation and record-keeping. Interactions between herbal medications and conventional drugs can affect drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. Pharmacists assess these interactions based on pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic factors, considering individual patient characteristics, medication importance, scientific evidence, and more. They educate patients about the risks and benefits of combining herbal and conventional treatments, empowering them to make informed choices. Pharmacists also communicate effectively with healthcare teams, provide valuable information, and report adverse events to regulatory agencies. Medication reconciliation during transitions of care, such as hospital admissions and discharges, ensures treatment continuity and patient safety. Documentation and record-keeping are crucial for maintaining accurate medication profiles, documenting assessments, and adhering to legal requirements. In summary, pharmacists play a pivotal role in recognizing, assessing, and managing potential interactions between herbal medications and conventional drugs. Their expertise ensures patient safety, effective treatment, and well-informed healthcare decisions in this complex landscape of healthcare.

Then, the variables were dynamically combined and resolved to deeply analyze the effects of initial solubility, decay coefficient, and initial contamination on the results. Finally, a mathematical model for detergent selection was developed through a linear programming model, which resulted in the optimal selection and lowest cost of different detergents based on the constraints and objective function.
Prácticas sociales, maestros y educación media en Bogotá
Authors: Gómez Marrugo Edie
Published: March 2024

Introducción: las prácticas sociales son estudiadas por las relaciones que se establecen entre las personas que participan en su construcción en un espacio determinado. El campo de la educación media es uno de los espacios donde se generan estas prácticas y se estructuran de acuerdo con la posición y el interés de los agentes en los procesos de interacción en los que participan, y así se genera una suerte de encuentro que desafía nuestro pensamiento por el sentido que le asigna cada uno de los individuos que participan en los vínculos sociales propiciados en un espacio de interacción definido. Las prácticas sociales, el maestro y la educación media se constituyen en elementos de indagación por su relevancia en los procesos escolares, que a su vez están siendo afectados por factores externos a las dinámicas de la escuela. Metodología: se utilizó para este fin un ejercicio de revisión documental de las categorías mencionadas con el propósito de identificar las tendencias de estudio que abordan el tema, buscando comprender y comparar la forma en que se piensa el maestro y la profesión docente en el contexto internacional, regional y nacional. Resultados y discusión: en la revisión de las referencias bibliográficas seleccionadas, se observa que la tendencia de las prácticas gira en torno al componente pedagógico. Por su parte, el aspecto social se explora en profundidad desde el campo sociológico. Frente al maestro, pareciera que el malestar docente es generalizado en el entendido de que sus reclamos son similares en diferentes lugares del mundo. Conclusiones: se cierra poniendo de manifiesto los conceptos relevantes de las categorías tratadas.
"Ouve, ó Israel: Iahweh, nosso Deus, é o único Iahweh" (Dt 6,4): análise sócio-histórica sobre o contexto político de formação do Shemá Israel durante o século VII a.C.
Authors: Carmo Matheus da Silva
Published: March 2024

O texto bíblico do Shemá Israel - "Ouve, ó Israel" (Dt 6,4-7) é uma perícope muito importante para a tradição bíblica e também para a tradição judaica. Se levarmos em conta o judaísmo atual, essa passagem é tida como uma importante profissão de fé. Por conta dessa centralidade, o Shemá Israel é um texto muito estudado, sobretudo pelo viés exegético e teológico, a partir de uma ótica de ênfase no culto monolátrico ou monoteísta para com Iahweh. Não obstante, no presente trabalho, buscamos fazer uma análise sócio-histórica da confecção do Shemá Israel a partir da influência dos tratados adê de vassalagem assírios. Por meio da comparação entre a ideologia assíria de tratados e a teologia presente no Shemá Israel, objetivamos demonstrar a forma como os conceitos de amor, unicidade e perpetuidade, muito presentes nos textos assírios, foram incorporados pelo Shemá Israel. Com isso, buscamos fazer um exercício de contextualização textual, para melhor entendermos o Shema Israel por meio do contexto histórico que o produziu.
Messianidade de Jesus: figuras malignas e sua influência nos feitos milagrosos
Authors: Valva André
Published: March 2024

Este artigo investiga como as figuras malignas, como Beelzebu, demônios e satanás, foram utilizadas para validar os poderes de cura e exorcismo de Jesus, com foco no caso do mudo/cego mencionado nos evangelhos sinóticos. O grupo que acompanhava Jesus estava dividido em relação à origem de seus poderes, alguns acreditando em sua messianidade divina e outros suspeitando de uma associação diabólica. As alegações sobre essa associação não desacreditaram seus milagres, mas sim sua posição messiânica. O objetivo é analisar os trechos correspondentes nos evangelhos para fornecer argumentos histórico-culturais sobre a compreensão da realidade transcendente no contexto dos evangelhos sinóticos, contribuindo para a discussão dos evangelhos e da figura histórica de Jesus de Nazaré.

This study evaluated the effect of two commercial forms of recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST; Later® and Fast®; 500 mg) on feed variability, feeding behavior, zootechnical parameters, and milk production of Holstein cows after peak production. Eighteen cows were randomly divided into two groups and treated with injectable of rbST every 14 days for 70 days. Blood samples were collected on day 1, 4, and 7 of each cycle, to assess circulating levels of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA). Weight and body condition score (BCS) assessments were performed. Milk yields were measured daily using the DelPro™ software (DeLaval®). Feed consumption and feeding behavior was obtained daily using automatic individual feeders (Intergado®). No difference was observed in dry matter intake (DMI) between groups (P=0.07), and no impact was noted on dietary variability (P=0.64). In addition, animals treated with rbST-Fast exhibited more frequent visits to feeders, longer time in consumption, and higher relative DMI (per percentage of live weight) (P<0.01). Animals in the rbST-Fast group produced more milk than those in the rbST-Later group (P=0.03). Furthermore, the weight of the cows was significantly different (P=0.05) between groups. The weight of the rbST-Fast animals was smaller and varied more than thot of the rbST-Later animals (P <0.01). Nonetheless, no difference was noted in BCS (P=0.30) between the groups. The animals in the rbST-Fast group had higher concentrations of NEFA than those in the rbST-Later group (P<0.01). In conclusion, behavioral and metabolic shifts that sustained greater milk production in the cows receiving rbST-Fast. Nonetheless, these shifts are likely linked to lipomobilization and not dietary variability or consumption, as evidenced by the increase in NEFA and greater weight loss in that group.
Vidas-Mortes-Vidas Severinas em Tempos de Pandemia

Published: March 2024

Este trabalho delimita a produção poética de repentistas e poetas-apologistas nordestinos, entre 2020 e 2021, no grupo de WhatsApp Clube do Repente, durante a pandemia da Covid-19. Criado em agosto de 2015, na cidade de Campina Grande (PB), o Clube do Repente, doravante CR, compõe-se no momento de 104 participantes distribuídos conforme a seguinte composição: 29 repentistas profissionais - sendo 23 homens e seis mulheres; seis cordelistas; um poeta-declamador; e 68 poetas-apologistas. Os resultados analisados durante a produção poética no CR, com base nas duas categorias analíticas que proponho - Prisão/Encarceramento virtual e Superação/Resiliência – apontam para uma produção poética marcada por uma espécie de ciclo poético que se inicia na angústia, desespero e apreensão da morte e se fecha com a promessa de vida em plenitude. Este aspecto pode nos remeter ao sentido da coerência como uma forte característica das culturas populares: ao contrário do ciclo da vida – que culmina com a morte – a produção poética neste período caminhou em sentido oposto, isto é, em direção à vida, à esperança, à vacina, à crença na ciência.

The global shortage of qualified nurse managers, particularly evident in the Philippines, is rooted in the absence of training programs for transitioning nurses into management roles. Recent studies highlight this gap, leading to the promotion of inexperienced nurses to leadership positions and resulting in ineffective management practices and compromised care quality. Recognizing the importance of sustainable leadership competency for the long-term viability of healthcare services, a study in Metro Manila seeks to address these issues. The research focuses on gathering insights from nursing business experts regarding essential skills for sustainable leadership among young nursing business managers. The study aims to not only explore these perspectives but also assess the competency levels of young nurse managers using a newly developed survey tool. The objectives encompass determining expert views on necessary skills, profiling participants based on demographic factors, assessing competency levels, and drawing recommendations from the mixed-methods study results. Employing a mixed-method approach, the study initially conducted interviews with nursing business leaders in Manila. The themes derived from these interviews were then utilized in formulating the questionnaire. The findings revealed demographic variations among participants, influencing their responses. Five major themes emerged, reflecting participant perspectives on the competency of young nurse business managers: professional conduct, educational competency, individual assessment, trans-cultural competency, and informatics tech competency. In conclusion, the study emphasizes the diverse skills and competencies required by young nurse business leaders for effective functioning in occupational and professional settings. These competencies, spanning professional conduct, individual assessment, cultural competence, and technological proficiency, are deemed critical components in assessing and evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of young nursing leaders, as emphasized in the existing literature. The study underscores the imperative for comprehensive training programs to enhance the competency of young nursing leaders, contributing to the overall quality and sustainability of healthcare services.

Without a doubt, academic institutions value strategic directions. Colleges and universities invest significant time and effort in holding several meetings with various constituent groups on and off campus to solicit opinions on their strategic objectives, as well as funding for consultants. Combining Strategic Planning and Budgeting Processes ensures that budgets are founded on the economic rationale, that greater communication and coordination among offices and individuals are established, that plans and budgets are implemented smoothly and that overall organizational performance is improved. The inherent concerns of John Paul College (JPC) in Roxas Oriental Mindoro in constantly maintaining its CHED compliances were analyzed to determine the amount of disparity between actual and projected data. The Institutional Sustainability Assessment (ISA) was used to examine the CHED compliances of JPC to determine the degree of its amenability based on available resources. The redirection of tactics must be matched with the ISA’s main areas. The researchers used re-contextualization of an existing theory or method, applied a technique in a new context, tested the theory in a new setting, showed the applicability of a model to a new situation, and evaluated the result and any implications as combined with corroboration and elaboration of an existing model focusing on the evaluation of the effects of a change of condition; experimental assessment of one aspect of a model. The survey’s self-created questionnaire was distributed to respondents via Google Forms. After strategically reviewing the JPC’s program compliances by referencing the Commission on Higher Education’s Institutional Sustainability Assessment (ISA), the redirection of JPC.’s strategies must be considered immediately to address the compliance issues.

This dissertation examines the effectiveness and challenges of using English as a medium of instruction in secondary-level education in Bangladesh, with a focus on Math, Science, and English. The adoption of English as a medium of instruction has become popular in educational institutions such as English-version schools and public and private universities due to global demands for English proficiency. Employing quantitative research methods, this study investigates the gap in language acquisition among Bangla-speaking students who are taught in English despite their non-native background. It also addresses concerns about the potential loss of Bengali identity due to the prevalence of English instruction. The research examines the use of the first language (L1) and the target language (English) within English as a Second Language (ESL) classrooms. While L1 use can help students understand complex concepts and vocabulary, excessive use can hinder their exposure to the target language. The study analyzes the effectiveness of using English in ESL classrooms and students’ academic performance in English, Math, and Science subjects. Additionally, this research explores the challenges faced by teachers and students when implementing English as a medium of instruction. The historical association of English with colonialism has raised skepticism among Bengali speakers and questions about preserving their mother tongue. This study examines how this linguistic scenario affects classroom activities and learning outcomes. By examining the development of English language skills in Math, Science, and English subjects, this research aims to determine the effectiveness of the current medium of instruction in fostering proficiency in both language and subjects taught. The findings of this study provide insights into language policy and the medium of instruction in the Bangladeshi education system. The research can guide policy-makers and educational authorities in determining the most effective approach to balancing English as a medium of instruction with the preservation of Bengali identity and language. The study highlights the importance of considering language policy, teacher training, and curriculum design to create an environment that maximizes language acquisition and subject understanding while respecting Bangladesh’s cultural and linguistic heritage.

Authors: Miao GUAN
Published: March 2024

In order to solve the problems of low precision, small stroke, and inabilityto grip objects across scales (um-mm) in traditional micro-gripper, a multi-stable flexible mechanism-based cross-scale micro-gripper structure was proposed. The multi-stable structure is combined with the traditional amplifying mechanism. The leftside of the micro -gripper adopts a lever mechanism and a parallelogram mechanism, and the right side adopts three different bistables in series to achieve eight-stable state. Finally, the parallelogram mechanism ensures the end of the micro-gripper. The output is pure parallel movement. Firstly, the overall structure design of the micro-gripper is introduced; secondly, the displacement amplification ratio and multi -stable characteristics of the amplification mechanism are deduced through theoretical calculation; finally, the performance and reliability of the micro-gripper are verified by the simulation analysis of the model by finite element. The micro-gripper has high magnification, large grippering range, compact structure, and can realize parallel grippering across μm-mm.
