The need to form the Concept of anti-corruption education in the Murmansk region
Authors: Rasheva Natalia
Published: October 2023

Legal education at the present stage can be considered as a direction of state activity (state policy), which receives quite serious legislative support at the federal level. At the same time, regions often «lag behind» the federal center, the Murmansk region is no exception. Anti–corruption education of citizens is an effective means of preventing corruption, which can have a positive impact on the state of law and order in society. This work should be clearly planned. The adoption of the Concept of Anti-Corruption Education in the regions of Russia may play an important role in the issue under study

Published: October 2023

The distribution and abundance of fish for the Orinoco River basin drainages are influenced by hydrometric seasonality and the structural complexity of the habitat, so understanding how fish assemblages are structured on a temporal and spatial scale is essential for biological conservation. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to describe the fish assemblage for the Mitimiti stream and test the hypothesis of spatial and temporal variation. To do this, collections were made at four sampling stations on the Mitimiti stream, during three contrasting rainfall seasons, with the help of a 10 m x 1.5 m trawl net and a 2 mm mesh eye. The diversity of fish assemblages was analyzed using Hill numbers, abundance-based dissimilarity, and a Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA). In total, 2493 individuals and 115 species were recorded, where the orders with the highest dominance were Characiformes and Blenniiformes. Regarding the diversity of order q = 0, no significant differences were found between the hydrological periods and the sampling stations, however, the low water period and St3 exhibited the highest species richness. The most dissimilar hydrological period was the high water season and the variables that significantly influenced fish assemblage were water temperature (p = 0.02) and dissolved oxygen (p = 0.05).

Published: October 2023

Objective We aimed to investigate the annual prevalence of intellectual disabilities (ID) and autism spectrum disorder employing claims data registered in Korean National Health Insurance Service. We also estimated the annual average of medical costs incurred from these disorders using same datasets.Methods In order to obtain the prevalence, we selected patients diagnosed with ID and pervasive and specific developmental disorders (PDD) from 2007 to 2019. The ensuing annual average of medical costs was also estimated from these patients.Results The annual prevalence of ID and PDD (per 100,000) between 2007 and 2019 ranged from 56.7 to 78.6 and from 22.0 to 44.6 respectively. Regarding the annual average of total medical expenditure per a patient, the expenditure of the ID group was higher than that of PDD throughout the years, as shown that the ID expenditure ranged from 769.7 to 1,501.2 US dollars as opposed to the PDD expenditure in the range of 312.5 to 570.7 US dollars. The further comparison in relation to income levels elaborated that the medical aid beneficiary group constitutes the highest one and the difference of the expenditure across the remaining income groups was not prominent although the very low group generally ranked the highest over the years.Conclusion The prevalence of ID and PDD constantly increased and the same trend was displayed in ensuing health expenditures throughout the period. This implies that increasing needs exist across these patients with regards to therapeutic interventions, thereby contributing to prioritizing medical policies on national perspectives.

Published: October 2023

Objective Successful transition to school is of great importance to children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The purpose of this study was to develop a school readiness inventory for Korean children with ASD, and demonstrate its content validity and reliability.Methods The Korean School Readiness Inventory (K-SRI) was developed to assess current levels of some fundamental skills needed for attending school for children with ASD. The K-SRI was comprised of four subscales and 16 test items: Self-help skills, Social and emotional development, School behavior, and Literacy and numeracy skills. For content validity, six experts rated the validity of the test items. Lawshe’s Content Validity Ratio (CVR) was calculated. For reliability, parents of 22 children with ASD entering school completed the KSRI twice. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was calculated for internal consistency. The test–retest reliability was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).Results All the items except two items in the literacy and numeracy skills did not show a CVR of 1. The two items were deleted resulting in a 14-item inventory. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of the K-SRI was 0.93, showing good internal consistency reliability. The test– retest reliability results showed ICC value of 0.93 (p<0.001), which indicates good stability.Conclusion A parent-rated, 14-item school readiness inventory for Korean children with ASD were developed and preliminary evidence of its content validity and reliability were demonstrated in this study. The present study provides a basis for future studies that would further help evaluate and promote school readiness of the children with ASD.
Are educator-created (dis)empowering climates equally associated with motivational experiences in physical education pre-service teachers as in foreign language pre-service teachers?
Authors: Granero-Gallegos Antonio , López-García Ginés David , Burgueño Rafael
Published: October 2023

Guided by self-determination theory, the objective of the present research was to examine the differences between physical education (PE) and foreign language (FL) pre-service teachers in terms of the associations between perceived educator-created (dis)empowering climates and need-based experiences and motivation. A convenience sample of 246 PE and 208 FL pre-service teachers (57.08% women, Mage=24.92, SD=4.07) participated in this cross-sectional research. All the participants came from eight Andalusian public universities: Almería (19.8%), Cádiz (5.7%), Córdoba (3.7%), Granada (32.2%), Huelva (3.5%), Jaén (4.8%), Málaga (16.1%) and Sevilla (14.1%). The participants completed the following scales: the Educator-Created Empowering and Disempowering Climate Questionnaire, the Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction Scale, the Psychological Needs Thwarting Scale, and the Academic Motivation Scale. The results showed that PE pre-service teachers scored significantly higher than FL pre-service teachers in disempowering climate, need satisfaction and amotivation. The results from the multi-group path analysis revealed that, overall, empowering and disempowering climates were differentially associated with the motivational outcomes between the PE and FL pre-service teachers. More specifically, FL pre-service teachers had slightly higher associations between empowering climates and need satisfaction, and between disempowering climates and need frustration. Conclusions: the findings underscore the importance not only of teacher educators creating empowering climates.

Этика искусственного интеллекта, дискриминация и неравенство
Authors: Волобуев Алексей
Published: October 2023

The article is devoted to the most acute socio-ethical problems associated with the development and widespread introduction of advanced artificial intelligence in the context of global digitalization. The author examines the impact of artificial intelligence on economic growth, productivity and the labour force; the worsening and persistence of inequalities caused by the adoption of AI-based technologies. The article questions the myth that the introduction of advanced artificial intelligence will lead to replacement of jobs associated with monotonous and repetitive labor, leaving only ‘creative’ professions; on the contrary, the need for development, training and technical support of artificial intelligence leads to the emergence of a huge number of ‘ghost’ jobs with monotonous work, without any contract and control of labor relations. AI-related discrimination in the labour market and other implications for the individual and society are also analyzed. The article demonstrates the interweaving of ethical issues and the social implications of the widespread adoption of advanced artificial intelligence.

Published: October 2023

The article raises the problem of strengthening the influence of global existential problems on human existence in the context of the aggravation of the contradictions of the transition from the unipolar stage of globalization to the multipolar one, which the authors designate as the neo-globalization stage. The influence of external global existential problems on the existence of sovereign states, on the formation of ‘existence in objectivity’, according to K. Jaspers, and its transition into subjective existence is analyzed. To concretize the concept of objective existence and to study the connection of global and state existential problems with human existence, the authors propose to introduce the concept of ‘global existential space’.

Authors: Druzhin A. E. , Sibikeev S. N. , Gultyaeva E. I. , Andreeva L. B.
Published: October 2023

Background. Enhancement of the Triticum aestivum L. genetic diversity by means of alien chromatin, including that from Triticum durum Desf., is an important element in the breeding of bread wheat cultivars that meet modern requirements.

Materials and methods. The study included the L153, L154 and L155 introgressive spring bread wheat lines produced from crosses between the spring bread wheat cultivars ‘L503’ and ‘L505’ and spring durum wheat cultivars ‘Yazi10’ and ‘Tarro’ developed in Mexico. Evaluation of these introgressive lines included phytopathological, phenological, genetic, and breadmaking analyses carried out with conventional methods both under open-air and laboratory conditions. Seventeen DNA markers were used to identify genes for resistance to Puccinia triticina Erikss. f. sp. tritici in the lines. The obtained data were statistically analyzed using the Agros-2.10 package of breeding and genetic programs.

Results. Studying introgressive spring bread wheat lines L153, L154 and L155, developed with the participation of durum wheat cvs. ‘Yazi10’ and ‘Tarro’, showed that leaf rust resistance of these lines was induced by the Lr genes from durum wheat cultivars. The effect of the gene donor and the recipient cultivars on a number of useful agronomic traits was identified. The recipient cv. ‘L505’ was noted for its good combining abilities.

Conclusion. Introgression of chromatin from durum wheat cultivars into the spring bread wheat gene pool made it possible to produce lines resistant to the local P. triticina population, as well as to some test clones of this pathogen. Such lines can be used as donors of the Lr genes. In addition, the L154 introgressive line combined good grain productivity and baking quality.
Expression of the transcription factor encoding gene StTCP23 in potato plants infected with the tuber spindle viroid
Authors: Mironenko N. V. , Orina A. S. , Lashina N. M. , Afanasenko О. S.
Published: October 2023

Background The potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) is the smallest of all known potato pathogens. PSTVd is a circular, single-stranded RNA molecule that does not code for proteins. Symptoms caused by PSTVd lead to a significant reduction in tuber yield or death of the plant. PSTVd infection triggers the silencing of host-plant genes and induces disease symptoms in the plant via vd-sRNA. The StTCP23 potato gene which encodes a transcription factor is one of the targets of PSTVd. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of inoculation of potato plants of cv. ‘Colomba’ with the PSTVd viroid NicTr-3 strain on the StTCP23 expression in infected plants.

Materials and methods. Potato plants of cv. ‘Colomba’ were inoculated with leaf sap of the tomato cv. ‘Rutgers’ in which the PSTVd viroid NicTr-3 strain was propagated. RT-PCR with specific primers was used to confirm the infection of potato plants with the viroid. Diversity of RNA molecules in the PSTVd population was revealed using RT, cloning, and sequencing of the viroid. The expression of the StTCP23 gene in infected potato plants was assessed by quantitative PCR with the ef1α gene as a reference.

Results. Symptoms of infecting ‘Colomba’ plants with the PSTVd viroid strain NicTr-3 were not detected, while the presence of the viroid in potato leaves was confirmed by molecular methods. Ten mutations were found in individual variants of the PSTVd strain NicTr-3, responsible for reducing the viroid’s aggressiveness. An increase in the expression of StTCP23 was shown at 3 time points in ‘Colomba’ plants inoculated with the NicTr-3 strain compared to the control.

Conclusion. The mechanism of interaction between PSTVd and the StTCP23 gene in an infected potato plant is not universal and depends both on the potato genotype and viroid strain. Additional studies are required to prove the existence of specific interaction mechanisms between the host-plant and viroid strain genotypes.

Published: October 2023

Bir dilin gelişmesini etkileyen öğeler arasında toplumsal, siyasal ve coğrafi niteliklerin yanı sıra, zaman içinde ortaya çıkan birbiriyle ilişkili ya da ilgisiz beklenmedik durumlar da etkili olabilmiştir. İslâmiyet’in yayılmasıyla birlikte, farklı dilleri olan çeşitli etnisitelere mensup milletlerin İslâmiyet’i benimsemeleri ile farklı dillerde konuşan Müslüman toplumların ortaya çıkması gibi etkenler, dilde bozulmalara neden olmuş, Arapça olan Kur’ân’ı Kerîm’i anlama problemi ve lahn (dili hatalı kullanma) mevzusu gündeme gelmiştir. Buna paralel olarak Kur'ân'la ilgili yanlış okumalar ve dilde hatalı kullanımlar, dil kurallarının tespitini zorunlu kılmıştır. Bu konudaki ilk adım ve uygulamalar, nahvî esasların keşfedilmesine ve dil ile ilgili hükümlerin tesis edilmesine öncülük etmiştir. Tabii olarak Arapça dilbilgisi kurallarının yazılı olarak tespit edilip yazılı hale getirilerek kayıt altına alma çabası, öncellikle Arap dilinin kaynağı olan yazılı ve sözlü edebî ürünlerin derlenmesine ve tedrisata uygun olarak tasnif edilmesine zemin hazırlamıştır. Arap dilinin varlığının membaı olan edebî ürünlerdeki kural değişmezliğine ulaşmış olan genel tekrarlar tasnif edilmiş ve dilin temel kuralları bunlardan çıkarılmaya çalışılmıştır. Temel kuralların bir araya getirilmesiyle dilin sistemi ortaya konulmuştur. Bu verilerin dilbilim kurallarına uygun olarak düzenlenmesi ile Arapçanın yazılı dilbilgisi kuralları belirlenmiş ve bu bağlamda farklı referanslardan yararlanılmıştır. Edebî mükemmelliğinin zirvesinde bulunan Kur’ân-ı Kerîm, hem klasik hem de modern dilbilimciler ve yazarlar tarafından Arapça gramer kurallarının tespitinde ve temellendirilmesinde en önemli başvuru kaynağı olarak tercih edilmiştir. Dolayısıyla Kur'ân-ı Kerîm, bir yandan dil kurallarının belirlenmesinde ve bir disipline kavuşmasında etkin bir rol oynarken diğer yandan da gelişen dil sayesinde filolojik açıdan Kur'ân'ın daha iyi anlaşılmasına yönelik çalışmalara zemin hazırlamış ve önünü açmıştır. Arap dili üzerine yapılan çalışmaların olgunlaşması ve sistemleşmesi, dili Kur’ân’ın anlam tahlillerinde egemen bir unsur olmasını sağlamıştır. İki bölümden oluşan bu çalışmada, girişte Kur’ân’ın Arap diline olan katkısına değindikten sonra, klasik ve modern dilbilimciler açısından, Arap gramerinin tesisinde Kur'ân'ın önemi, etkisi ve referansı hakkındaki düşünceleri ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır.
Religious Origin and Political Extension of the idea of "Moscow – Third Rome"
Authors: Cao Jiaqi
Published: October 2023

The idea of "Moscow – Third Rome" is a unique phenomenon in Russian religious culture. It is the idea that the Russian state, represented by Moscow, is the "Third Rome" that succeeded Rome and Constantinople and has a mission to save the world. Although this idea was initially a religious doctrine, the consciousness of Russian nationalism and the universalist mission of salvation extended from this idea have been deeply embedded in the Russian national character and way of thinking through the efforts of Russian intellectuals. Since the 21st century, the thought of "Moscow – Third Rome" has been closely integrated with politics and gradually became one of the primary ideological sources of contemporary Russian geopolitical theory. The purpose of this study is to investigate the concept of "Moscow - the Third Rome" in relation to the genesis of Russian civilization. Because of that, traditional methods of historical research were used along with the theory of civilizations, the development of systems, and national archetypes. The article reconstructs the main components of the theory "Moscow—the Third Rome" and its contextualization is carried out within the framework of various periods of Russian and world history. The author concludes that the special messianic role and significance of Russia in world history may be seen as the archetype of Russian national identity.
On the importance of qualitative research in environmental psychology

Published: October 2023

In their 2022 (p. 3) editorial, Schultz and McCunn propose that JEVP “is not an outlet [...] for work that is purely qualitative in nature”. We write to express our concern at this statement. While we are pleased that qualitative research is still welcome in JEVP through mixed-methods studies, this policy risks diminishing the perceived value of qualitative methods alone. Qualitative research identifies novel phenomena and avenues of research and sheds light on unquantifiable experiences. We argue that prioritising quantitative research negatively affects our understanding of human–environment relationships, especially among seldom-heard populations, and privileges Western, objectivist paradigms of knowledge production. We suggest that qualitative and quantitative methods should be seen as equally valid tools, each with their own standards of application and reporting, and with their own strengths and weaknesses, that can be used to address different types of questions.
Ableism’s new clothes: Achievements and challenges for disability rights in Canada
Authors: Beaudry Jonas-Sébastien
Published: October 2023

This article offers a critical examination of disability rights in Canada in four policy domains: (a) the concept of disability; (b) non-discrimination and equality; (c) accessibility and inclusion; and (d) income support. The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and scholarship from disability legal studies and the applied philosophy of disability provide normative benchmarks for the inquiry. The article identifies several shortcomings within political arrangements, policies, laws, and judicial decisions and traces them back to outdated but enduring conceptions of disability – namely, the ‘medical model,’ the ‘charity model,’ as well as other impacts of an ableist ideology, such as the normalization and disenfranchisement of persons with disabilities.
A Study on Postharvest Losses in Fisheries Owing to Changes in Market Supply and Demand in the Philippines
Authors: Tadifa Gezelle , Banicod Riza Jane , Peralta Deserie , Ramos Charlotte Ann , Montojo Ulysses
Published: October 2023

Market patterns and conditions can affect the economic value of fishery commodities; hence, they can contribute to postharvest losses. This paper primarily aims to provide information on the magnitude of losses incurred from changes in market supply and demand of economically important fishery commodities. Assessed capture commodities in selected landing sites and wet markets recorded an estimated loss of 3.98% and 0.44%, respectively. The total financial loss incurred in both supply chains amounted to PHP 480,160. Estimation of losses per commodity showed that landed sardines obtained the highest loss at 6.86%. This can be attributed to the oversupply of catch at the end of the closure period, leading to a drastic decrease in market prices. Minimal losses were documented in aquaculture at 0.33% and 0.23% for landing and trading, respectively, amounting to PHP 26,541. While lower retail prices could be beneficial to consumers, it could lead to a loss of revenue for fisherfolk. The government should, therefore, take measures to curb price collapses associated with market dynamics through Value Chain Analysis, the establishment of market linkages between producers and consumers, price regulating mechanisms such as the suggested retail price that should be area and species-specific, the establishment of cold storage and commercial-scale ice production facilities in strategic places, utilization of fish and fishery resources through the application of low-cost processing technologies, and provision of livelihood support to small-scale fisherfolk. These initiatives will ensure equitable benefit sharing from the fisheries industry and reduce postharvest losses and wastes across the supply chain in pursuit of food security.
Age, Growth, and Population Structure of Conomurex luhunuas
Authors: Sanchez-Escalona Katherine , Aliño Porfirio
Published: October 2023

Age and growth dynamics of Conomurex luhuanus were investigated to determine the population structure. Age-specific change in shell shape determined with geometric morphometrics revealed discrimination of shape between 0-3 years old at 99–100% while 3–4 years old can be separated with 81% certainty. Using the age discrimination data, K and L∞ were estimated at 1.00 year-1 and 7.28 cm, respectively. Recruitment is bimodal with natural mortality (M) of 0.71 and fishing mortality (F) approximated at 3.92 year-1. The exploitation rate (E) is 0.85 year-1, indicating probable overharvesting of the population under study. The presence of a deep-water population, age-specific burying behavior, and bimodal recruitment pattern are possible resilience factors.

Published: October 2023

Monitoring changes in fish density and biomass inside marine protected areas (MPAs) through fish visual census (FVC) can determine if MPAs are achieving their goal of promoting fish population recovery. Simplified FVC methods have been developed for citizen scientists to enable them to monitor fish populations in MPAs. However, MPA monitoring programs led by local stakeholders remain rare and difficult to sustain due to technical barriers related to FVC data management. Here, we describe and evaluate a novel online app called MPA-FishMApp, which we developed to help stakeholders of MPAs that protect coral reefs in the Philippines efficiently store, analyze, and visualize FVC data. MPA-FishMApp is coupled to a simplified FVC method wherein the observer records only 21 reef fish species groups during surveys. The app provides a simple data entry interface, cloud storage, and algorithms to estimate fish density and biomass. Spatial and temporal trends in fish density and biomass can be instantaneously visualized in the app based on relative importance to fisheries. Field testing suggested that the MPA-FishMApp methodology (simplified FVC and app) is sensitive enough to detect qualitative patterns showing differences in density and biomass that may develop between MPAs and fished sites, especially in fishes that are highly important to fisheries. However, users must have sufficient training and experience in simplified FVC to produce reliable data. MPA-FishMApp may help reverse the lack of monitoring in MPAs across the Philippines and offers an accessible, transparent, and auditable venue for collaboration between citizen scientists and professional scientists.

Published: October 2023

This study provided the first report on the reproductive biology of the redtail scad, Decapterus kurroides. The reproductive activity of the redtail scad was assessed to characterize its sex ratio, spawning period, length at maturity, and fecundity. Meanwhile, remote sensing data on environmental variables were accessed from Giovanni online data system. Fish samples were collected monthly from October 2017 to September 2018 from both commercial and municipal landed catches. Male D. kurroides was found to have a larger size than the female in terms of mean total length and mean body weight, but it did not differ significantly from the female (t = 1.31, df = 1,348, p = 0.19). Collected male and female samples were mostly in the 15.1 – 18.0 cm size class. Overall sex ratio exhibited female dominance (1.2:1), which significantly deviated from the 1:1 ratio (x2 = 8.17, p = <0.05). As expected for tropical fish, spawning of D. kurroides occurred year-round, with peak spawning in December and minor spawning events in March and August, as reflected in the monthly percent occurrence of different gonad maturity stages and gonadosomatic index evolution. Among the environmental variables evaluated, sea surface temperature appeared to have more influence on the spawning of D. kurroides followed by chlorophyll-a concentration. Females matured at a length of 17.2 cm, while males matured at a length of 17.6 cm. Absolute fecundity ranged from 6,416 to 197,672 eggs per female with a mean of 61,733 ± 3,955 and increased proportionally with gonad weight. Information from this study may be used to formulate effective management strategies for the resource.

Published: October 2023

“Ludong”, also known as the president’s fish, is a river mullet known to be found in Cagayan River, Northern Philippines. Unfortunately, this species has been heavily exploited over the years. As a conservation measure, the Department of Agriculture - Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (DA-BFAR) issued the BFAR Administrative Circular (BAC) 247 of 2013, declaring a closed fishing season for “ludong” during its spawning from October 1 to November 15. Despite these efforts, the identity and distribution of “ludong” remain unclear. Here, the species identification and habitat range of “ludong” have been determined and updated by DNA barcoding using mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) as a marker. Twenty-five (25) “ludong” samples were collected from Cagayan River and Abra River traversing Regions 1, 2, and the Cordillera Administrative Region. BLAST, phylogenetic and pairwise analyses showed that all 25 specimens were Cestraeus goldiei. Consequently, the known distribution of C. goldiei has been extended from Cagayan River to Abra River, from Region 2 to Region 1 and CAR. Knowledge of the definitive species identification and distribution of “ludong” will contribute to further understanding of its biology and fisheries and boost its conservation.

حتى لا نقع في العدمية السياسية ونعلن أن السياسة قذرة بنوعها، من الضروري أن نحلّ التناقض المعهود بين الأخلاق والسياسة. الغالب على علم الأخلاق هو مناقشة الأخلاق الفردية. والغالب على من يعتقد إمكانية جمع الأخلاق مع السياسة هو الانطلاق من المسؤولية الفردية ومحاولة تحديدها في السياق المؤسساتي السياسي. تقترح هذه الدراسة منهجية جديدة في حل معضلة الأخلاق السياسية، بحيث تحاجج بأن هناك ما يمكن تسميته بأخلاق المؤسسة. نعم الأخلاق والسياسة ينتميان إلى عالمين مختلفين كما زعم كثير من الفلاسفة، لكن من الممكن الانطلاق من الفردي وتعميمه وتوسيعه لنصل إلى المؤسساتي باستخدام منهجية المنظوماتية (النسقية) في فهم الأخلاق والمؤسسة.
Survival Against All Odds: A Gripping Tale of Courage and Resilience in The Face of Perils of The Se
Authors: KELEŞ Aybike
Published: October 2023

Resilience theory, a concept rooted in psychology, refers to the human potential to react to and adjust to adverse circumstances. In extreme circumstances, resilience becomes crucial as it enables individuals to overcome challenges and ultimately survive. In the novel Adrift: Seventy-six Days Lost at Sea by Steven Callahan this theory takes a central stage and portrays the struggles faced by the writer at sea after a catastrophic shipwreck. During his journey, Callahan faces numerous obstacles including severe weather conditions, the risk of dehydration and starvation, as well as limited resources. His unshakeable resolve and determination are put to test further and further with each passing day, as he struggles to adjust to his harsh surroundings. In fact, his unwavering commitment to optimism outlook also serves as a guiding light in his voyage through the vast ocean of life. This paper will analyze Callahan’s journey in the light of resilience theory by examining the factors that contributed to his resilience, such as his ability to adapt to his surroundings, his mental and emotional strength, and his resourcefulness and his problem-solving skills. Additionally, by analyzing the protagonist’s psychological and emotional responses to his circumstances this paper will show how resilience can help individuals overcome challenges.

Este ensaio visual apresenta camadas, nuances, vestígios de uma sexualidade que se constrói em meio às empoeiradas normas que definem o que é ser homem e sobre como performar masculinidade. São imagens que perpassam a infância e vida adulta num jogo de revelar e esconder, de agir pela natureza do que se é e de encontrar artifícios para não ser. São desenhos e fotografias que associadas a objetos resgatam/inventam memórias para fazer pensar nos modos e estratégias para existir/insistir no mundo.
Usos da linguagem neutra na comunicação de pessoas trans: um estudo exploratório
Authors: Boraso Giagio Ariel Ícaro , Martino Luis Mauro Sá
Published: October 2023

Este artigo estuda o uso da linguagem neutra na comunicação de pessoas trans ou não-binárias, buscando compreender algumas das condições e situações de seu uso. A partir de entrevistas com esses falantes, observou-se que (1) a linguagem neutra fundamenta a definição da autoimagem; (2) espaços transcentrados são exceções de acolhida para essa fala que, por sua vez, (3) estabelece um forte vínculo comunitário. Esses pontos são discutidos a partir das ideias de Foucault sobre gênero e discurso.

Authors: Ribeiro Castro Soares Camila , Patiño Torres José Fernando
Published: October 2023

Esta escrita se trata do recorte de um estudo de caso acerca de como o poliamor se configura subjetivamente em um arranjo relacional entre três pessoas. A base epistemo-metodológica da investigação se sustentou na Epistemologia Qualitativa. Identificou-se no estudo o valor do desenvolvimento de uma comunicação ética entre o trisal na produção de sentidos subjetivos outros na forma como foram configurando subjetivamente sexualidade e aspectos de gênero ao longo de seu envolvimento poliamoroso.
Nudes: vigilância, subjetividades e os processos comunicacionais na internet
Authors: Valentim Machado Nealla
Published: October 2023

Vemos crescer o impulso participativo na produção de conteúdo na internet, e nas práticas de vigilância que vêm sendo associadas à autodescoberta, ao reconhecimento. Os nudes são entendidos enquanto local privilegiado de produção de subjetividades. Blogueiros, influencers e usuários comuns mostram suas vidas editadas e associam aos processos de formação do self. Essas “identidades” expostas nas redes sociais, seriam produto das operações de subjetivação baseadas na interatividade e na simulação digitais que geram transformações em si, mesmo segundo os cânones performativos.
Quem é o seu nome? Marcadores de gênero e o direito à identidade própria
Authors: Dias Juarez Guimarães
Published: October 2023

O artigo investiga de que modo alguns marcadores de gênero como sexo biológico e nome próprio ferem o direito à identidade própria de sujeitas e sujeitos dissidentes das normas de gênero e sexualidade. A partir de pesquisas sobre inscrições autobiográficas em escritas afetivas e performativas comunicadas em textualidades diversas, busca-se refletir sobre a escolha do nome próprio, o nome civil versus nome social, o nome retificado versus nome morto, e suas relações com a alteridade.
papel pedagógico da mídia no dispositivo da sexualidade
Authors: Ziller Joana , Barretos Dayane do Carmo , Xavier Kellen do Carmo
Published: October 2023

Neste artigo, defendemos que a mídia tem um papel pedagógico no dispositivo da sexualidade, tomado a partir de Foucault. Para tanto, partimos do conceito de dispositivo para evidenciar a forma como produções midiáticas diversas atuam contribuindo para a manutenção da cisheteronormatividade e da binariedade de gênero enquanto padrão social, da infância à idade adulta, não apenas proibindo e escondendo, mas também produzindo representações do que é desejável do ponto de vista normativo.
Social Media and the Commodification of Attention/Inattention in the Changing Egyptian Belly Dance Industry
Authors: Morley Margaret L.
Published: October 2023

In 2018, Russian belly dancer Gohara catapulted to stardom after being charged with ‘inciting debauchery’ and nearly deported when a video of her Cairo disco performance went viral. Based on participant-observation of the belly dance industry in Egypt, this article employs ethnographic narratives to demonstrate that although attention is commodified across Egyptian belly dance venues, so is inattention and discretion. While foreign dancers like Gohara can often profit from any attention, for Egyptian dancers the social costs of attracting attention frequently make it undesirable, creating opportunities for exploitation and the commodification of inattention and discretion. As such, the growing dominance of the visually based economies of attention on social media is generating new challenges for Egyptian belly dancers trying to compete in a changing market.
Perspectivas y tensiones de la responsabilidad social de la universidad
Authors: Velásquez Moreno Jairo Rodrigo , Cortés Salcedo Ruth Amanda
Published: October 2023

En el presente artículo de reflexión se analiza crítica y propositivamente la emergencia de la responsabilidad social universitaria (en adelante RSU) como problema de investigación que tensiona desde dos puntos el enfoque de relacionamiento de la universidad con la sociedad, visto, por un lado, desde perspectivas constructivas sentidas y situadas y, por otro lado, desde prácticas asociadas a racionalidades políticas propias del liberalismo avanzado que hace presencia actualmente en la educación superior. El método de investigación se centró en los estudios de la gubernamentalidad, siendo relevante la triangulación del análisis tanto de las prácticas discursivas como no discursivas; se revisó la racionalidad política, el sentido y los fines de lo que se evidencia en ellas. Como resultados relevantes se pueden mencionar aspectos en dos líneas, aquellos que justifican tanto la importancia de la RSU en el contexto del relacionamiento con la sociedad, como la crítica y la lógica, que buscan utilizar como variables económicas, entre otros, los valores de la responsabilidad y la autonomía. Se concluye de esta manera que los discursos de la RSU tienen un contenido y un sentido que deja ver importantes apuestas para el fortalecimiento de la relación con la sociedad; de igual manera, se evidencia lógicas de gestión que se deben cuestionar y controlar, con el fin de evitar que un elemento misional sea usado con fines asociados al poder del mercado en la educación superior.
El ambiente virtual de aprendizaje Edmodo como estrategia pedagógica para el fortalecimiento del nivel inferencial de comprensión lectora
Authors: Gutiérrez Marisodelis , Arzuaga Mary Elsy
Published: October 2023

La investigación tuvo como objetivo fortalecer el nivel inferencial de comprensión lectora en los estudiantes de grado cuarto mediante un ambiente virtual de aprendizaje Edmodo como estrategia pedagógica. Metodológicamente, el estudio se inscribió en el paradigma cualitativo con enfoque sociocrítico en la investigación acción pedagógica. El diseño se desarrolló en tres fases: desconstrucción, reconstrucción y evaluación de la efectividad de la práctica. La unidad de trabajo corresponde a 15 estudiantes de cuarto grado. En cuanto a los instrumentos, se diseñó dos pruebas escritas –una de entrada y la otra de salida para los estudiantes– y una bitácora de observación general. Los resultados evidenciaron que los estudiantes presentaban debilidades para comprender la información de los textos a nivel inferencial; por lo tanto, se implementaron estrategias pedagógicas a través de la plataforma Edmodo. Se concluyó que la aplicación de las actividades fue efectiva y eficiente, ya que los estudiantes fortalecieron la comprensión lectora a nivel inferencial.
Práctica pedagógica de integración de habilidades para la vida y la convivencia para la educación infantil
Authors: Rodríguez Ardila Dora Patricia , Herrera Cruz Laura Isabella
Published: October 2023

Objetivo: analizar las estrategias didácticas utilizadas por las maestras en formación de la Licenciatura en Educación Infantil en la práctica pedagógica de habilidades para la vida. Materiales y métodos: el presente artículo es el resultado de una revisión documental de los formatos de planeación y reflexión de la práctica; se trata de un estudio cualitativo retrospectivo, desde una perspectiva hermenéutica, mediante el método descripción, reflexividad e interpretación –DRI–. Resultados: la empatía y el autoconocimiento son las habilidades más trabajadas en la práctica; mientras que, las menos aplicadas son la resolución de problemas y conflictos, y el pensamiento crítico; cuentan con estrategias didácticas variadas y coherentes con las actividades rectoras. Las planeaciones son una fortaleza de la práctica; sin embargo, el proceso reflexivo presenta falencias. Conclusiones: la enseñanza de habilidades para la vida permite el juego, el arte, la literatura y la exploración del medio; el aprovechamiento de recursos y espacios físicos diversos en donde los niños responden con agrado, logrando una adaptación del medio para vivir en sociedad. No obstante, se requiere mejorar los procesos de reflexión de las practicantes.
Diseño de una estrategia didáctica en educación ambiental desde la caracterización de las ideas previas
Authors: Velandia Marmel
Published: October 2023

En el artículo se presentan algunos resultados de la investigación desarrollada en la Institución Educativa Técnico Comercial de Tocancipá, con el objetivo de explorar las ideas previas de los niños, las niñas, los padres y las madres de familia, y adultos mayores como punto de partida para elaborar una estrategia didáctica que conlleve la construcción de un saber ambiental con relación al humedal Taboima y su protección. Para ello, primero, se caracterizaron las ideas previas; luego, se analizaron las posibles relaciones existentes entre dichas ideas y, a partir de los resultados, se diseñó e implementó la estrategia didáctica: Programa Guía de Actividades (PGA), y así establecer sus alcances y limitaciones. En la investigación participaron 40 niñas y niños, 16 madres y padres de familia y 4 adultos mayores. El estudio se enmarcó en el enfoque cualitativo con la metodología de investigación acción. Entre los resultados, se destaca la identificación de distintas ideas recurrentes del grupo objetivo, que son la base para la creación de dos categorías de análisis: aprendizaje situado y éticopolítico. Desde estas categorías, se diseñó e implementó un PGA que favorece la construcción de un saber ambiental, desde las interacciones políticas, éticas, culturales y ecológicas de los niños y las niñas. Entre los hallazgos, se destaca el fomento en la participación, la motivación y la reflexión en los estudiantes con relación a las problemáticas asociadas al humedal, de tal manera que los lleve a proponer planes de acción.

Published: October 2023

Magang merupakan salah satu syarat kelulusan mahasiswa Fakultas Ilmu Komputer Universitas Singaperbangsa Karawang (Fasilkom Unsika), namun proses mencari lowongan magang masih sulit karena di Fasilkom Unsika belum ada platform yang menyediakan informasi lowongan magang untuk mahasiswa Fasilkom Unsika. Proses pendaftaran magang juga belum efektif karena belum adanya sistem yang mengurus pendaftaran magang mahasiswa dan masih menggunakan Google Form. Oleh karena itu, dibutuhkan sebuah website yang dapat menyediakan informasi lowongan magang dan mengurus pendaftaran magang. Dari hasil wawancara dengan mahasiswa, website juga harus dapat berjalan baik pada perangkat desktop dan mobile sehingga Progressive Web App (PWA) akan di implementasikan pada website yang akan dibuat. Website magang akan dibuat menggunakan metode pengembangan Waterfall dengan 5 tahapan yang dikerjakan dengan sistematis. Menggunakan Black Box testing dan Lighthouse testing, didapatkan bahwa website magang yang dibuat dapat berjalan dengan baik pada perangkat desktop dan mobile serta memiliki kompatibilitas dengan PWA yang baik.
