Published: December 2024

The main objective of this study is to examine the impact of big data analytics capabilities, including management and personal capabilities, on integrated logistics capabilities, including demand, supply, and information management interface capabilities. Furthermore, we investigate how this interplay influences supply chain resilience and performance. Another aspect of our study is to investigate the impact of big data analytics capabilities on logistics and supply chain operations in the Chinese manufacturing sector. We analyzed the data from 254 Chinese manufacturing companies using Smart PLS 4.0 (PLS-SEM). The research employed a reflective measuring methodology with 32 indicators spanning several characteristics. We used cross-sectional data collection techniques to collect data from the target population. The findings indicate that big data analytics capabilities, encompassing management and personal capabilities, are crucial for enhancing integrated logistics capabilities, including demand, supply, and information management. These capabilities enable accurate forecasting, disruption identification, and strategic planning, leading to more responsive and resilient supply chains. By optimizing logistics processes, they improve customer satisfaction, reduce costs, and enhance transparency, communication, and collaboration with stakeholders. The study also emphasizes the importance of combining logistical and big data analytics capabilities to strengthen supply chain resilience and performance, particularly during crises, ensuring minimal impact on operations and delivery schedules.

Published: December 2024

This research examines the impact of Human Resource Management (HRM) practices on ICT employee’s turnover intentions in Malaysia: recruitment and selection, training and development, compensation, performance appraisal and work life balance. The Malaysian government is indicating support for knowledge-based economy with initiatives towards strategic Information Communication Technology (ICT); however, the high turnover rates, within this sector, undermines the stability of skilled labors potential. Perceived organizational support, perception of distributive justice in HR practices and rewards are further confirmed as predictors of employee turnover with the array of three well established theories namely Social Exchange Theory (SET) and Organizational Support Theory (OST). In order to study the relationships of HRM practices and turnover intentions data were collected from a cross-sectional survey of ICT employees. It concluded that recruitment practices, compensation, training and development programs, performance appraisals along with work-life balance policies were related to lower turnover intentions. Such findings, thus further reinforce the rationale for human resource management and turnover strategies to be implemented in order to give a competitive edge to organisations in Malaysia rapidly transforming ICT industry. The study contributes to HRM literature by offering implications for practitioners who may be interested in reducing turnover by advancing the existence of an association between higher retention and employee commitment with the positive impact of HRM. A longitudinal research approach, which future studies may opt for to extend the generalizability of our findings across industries and to explore HRM effects over time, can overcome this limitation of cross-sectional design.

Authors: Menegaki Angeliki N.
Published: December 2024

This study explores the preparedness and response strategies of tourism businesses to climate change through an in-depth qualitative analysis. Using open-ended questionnaires, we collected detailed narratives from a diverse range of tourism businesses, allowing respondents to express their perceptions, strategies, and challenges in their own words. Thematic analysis of the data revealed a wide variation in how businesses understand and respond to climate risks. While most participants acknowledged climate change as a critical issue, many reported significant barriers, such as financial constraints and lack of expertise, which hindered their ability to implement meaningful strategies. Key themes that emerged from the data include the role of external support in overcoming financial and technical challenges, the diversity of mitigation strategies adopted, and the gap between climate awareness and practical action. This study pinpoints the need for tailored interventions to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the tourism sector, highlighting the complexity of translating climate change awareness into tangible business practices. The findings contribute to the growing discourse on sustainable tourism by offering an understanding of the challenges and opportunities that businesses face in addressing climate change.

Local Shape Transformation of a Snake Robot by Changing Approximation Range on Continuous Curve
Authors: Chin Ching Wen , Tanaka Motoyasu
Published: December 2024

A snake robot can form various shapes by fitting to an arbitrary continuous curve thanks to its numerous degrees of freedom. When traversing an unknown complex environment, a snake robot may need to perform local shape transformation to avoid obstacles or perform specific tasks. In this study, we present a local shape transformation control method for expanding the mobility of a snake robot. The proposed control method lifts a local part of the robot away from the target continuous curve while the leading part and the trailing part shift accordingly to remain fitted to the continuous curve without twisting. The proposed local shape transformation is realized by changing the approximation range on the continuous curve without changing the shape of the continuous curve. Simulations were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the local hump-shaped transformation control on various types of continuous curves. We also evaluated the proposed control method by comparing it with other local shape transformation control methods through simulations. Additionally, we propose two examples of applications which are the recovery from a stuck state and recovery from joint failure. Experiments were conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

Authors: Whyte Jess , Walsh Tessa
Published: December 2024

This study is based on semi-structured interviews with digital preservation practitioners working in Canada. Participants included librarians, archivists, a library director, and technical systems staff. The goal was to understand how participants are reviewing for sensitive personal information in their digital materials, what they are doing with that information, and identify the challenges they face in this work. Qualitative research methods used leaned heavily on feminist methodologies (Stanley & Wise; Taylor) and the field of ethnography (Feldman, Bell & Berger; Emerson, Fretz & Shaw). Findings include a summary of current strategies in place (e.g., risk profiling, using software tools for triage, and consultation with donors and/or community), a list of challenges (e.g., IT or systems infrastructure, barriers to access for software tools, funding restrictions, and scale), and a series of recommendations (e.g., increasing staff resources, developing tools geared towards triage, and improving grant requirements to recognize this work).
Organizational Structure Around Web-Scale Discovery Services in Canadian Academic Libraries
Authors: Wong Sandra
Published: December 2024

This study analyzed how Canadian post-secondary libraries have managed and administered their web-scale discovery service and how adopting a discovery service has changed the traditional boundaries of standard library functions. Through a combination of survey responses and semi-structured interviews, the author investigated how Canadian academic libraries organized around their web-scale discovery service. Academic libraries can manage their discovery service from a Technical Services unit, a Library Systems, or a Web Services department, or by a committee. However, there is consensus that a discovery service requires collaboration and cooperation among many functional areas. Discovery service leaders often have organizational awareness to break down the silos between traditional library functions to perform the various duties related to managing and administering their web-scale discovery service. Individuals responsible for their discovery service are flexible and work collaboratively with staff in many different areas and often have a strong user-centred focus.
Computer-Assisted Simulations Using R and RStudio to Assist in Operations Research and Analysis in the Context of Clinical Laboratory Management
Authors: Ang Mark Angelo , Sotalbo Karen Cybelle
Published: December 2024

Operations research (OR) is a valuable yet underutilized field in clinical laboratory management, offering practical solutions to optimize workflows, resource allocation, and decision-making. Despite its potential, the adoption of OR methodologies remain limited due to a lack of training and familiarity among pathologists and laboratory professionals. This paper addresses this gap by presenting an accessible introduction and practical guide to analyzing operations research problems in clinical laboratories using computer-assisted simulations in R, implemented within the R Studio environment.
 
The proposed framework emphasizes simplicity and flexibility, leveraging the extensive capabilities of base R to model and analyze critical OR questions. The paper outlines step-by-step methods for defining problems, constructing simulation models, and interpreting results, ensuring that readers can replicate and adapt these techniques to their unique laboratory contexts.
 
Key features of the framework include its emphasis on reproducibility, customization, and the integration of data-driven insights into decision-making processes. Case studies and examples drawn from real-world laboratory scenarios illustrate the application of R simulations to address challenges such as minimizing turnaround times, balancing staffing levels, and managing inventory efficiently.
 
This guide aims to empower laboratory professionals and pathologists with the tools and skills to integrate operations research into their practice, fostering a culture of innovation and efficiency in clinical settings. By bridging the gap between OR theory and practical application, this paper contributes to the broader adoption of computational approaches in laboratory management, ultimately enhancing the quality and sustainability of healthcare services.

Conjugação anal´ítica entre sistemas diferenciais planares e sistemas potenciais
Authors: Nascimento Francisco José dos Santos
Published: December 2024

O clássico Teorema da Forma Normal de Poincaré afirma que um ponto crítico de um campo vetorial planar analítico é um centro não degenerado se e somente se houver uma mudança de coordenada analítica tal que nas novas coordenadas o campo vetorial inicial seja da forma f(x^2+y^2)(y \partial/\partial x - x \partial / \partial y), onde f é uma função analítica definida em uma vizinhança da origem tal que f(0)>0. Neste artigo é provado que um campo vetorial planar analítico com um centro não degenerado em (0,0) é analiticamente conjugado, em uma vizinhança de (0,0), a um campo vetorial hamiltoniano da forma y \partial / \partial x -V'(x) \partial / \partial y, onde V é uma função analítica definida em uma vizinhança da origem tal que V(0)=V'(0)=0 e V''(0)>0. Este resultado é uma resposta parcial a um problema proposto por Chicone em 1987.

Published: December 2024

Este trabalho apresenta um estudo comparativo entre o princ´ıpio de extens˜ao de Zadeh e o princ´ıpio de extens˜ao sup - J0 na propagação de incerteza, focado em modelos populacionais descritos por equações diferenciais. Neste estudo, é considerado que as condições iniciais dos modelos são dados por intervalos, a fim de incorporar a incerteza intrínseca do fenômeno. Para isso, são estudados modelos de dinâmica populacional por meio do método numérico de Euler, que é adaptado à aritmética intervalar. Especificamente, são considerados três modelos, o de Malthus, Verhulst e Gompertz. Para cada modelo, são feitas simulações que permitem visualizar o comportamento e a propagação da incerteza tanto para a soma de Zadeh, quanto para a soma sup-J0. Os resultados obtidos se alinham aos resultados teóricos, mostrando que a soma de Zadeh propaga a incerteza ao longo do tempo, enquanto o princ´ıpio de extens˜ao Sup - J0 diminui a incerteza ao longo do tempo.

Authors: Gong Gaoming , Wang Leining , Zhang Jinhao , Huang Zhihui , Wang Yulong , Song Kunpeng
Published: December 2024

Background: Double crush syndrome (DCS) is a relatively rare nerve compression syndrome among peripheral nerve compression diseases. However, ulnar nerve double entrapmentcaused by peri-cubital tunnel ganglion cysts has been rarely reported.
Case presentation: Here, we present a case of a 54-year-old woman who experienced occasionalpain, numbness and paralysis in her right half hand for 1 year. A B-ultrasound of the right elbow initially revealed cubital tunnel syndrome only. Further Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed a ganglion cyst near the cubital tunnel. After evaluation, we performed open surgery to excise the cyst and incise the cubital tunnel, completely decompressing the ulnar nerve entrapment. Ulnar nerve anterior transposition was also performed simultaneously.
Conclusions: The patient was followed up for 1 month, and she experienced a complete recovery with no functional limitations.
WITHDRAWN: Object Detection: A comprehensive study of famous Deep Learning approaches with case study of Helmet Detection dataset

Published: December 2024

A key component of computer vision, object detection is essential to many applications, including augmented reality, autonomous driving, and monitoring. With a succinct case study on helmet detection, this paper explores the most recent deep learning architectures for object detection. Using a variety of datasets, the study carefully assesses the performance of well-known models such as YOLO, SSD, and R-CNN. Our findings shed light on the advantages and disadvantages of each method for object detection in various settings and scales through thorough investigation and analysis. This research advances the field's understanding and capabilities by highlighting the wider ramifications of object detection in real-world circumstances. Our findings highlight the need of reliable object detection systems and provide insightful information for further studies targeted at developing more efficient and accurate models. The case study on helmet detection illustrates how object detection can be applied to ensure safety compliance, particularly in construction and traffic surveillance. We found that YOLO outperformed other models in real-time detection due to its speed, while SSD provided a good balance between accuracy and performance. R-CNN, though highly accurate, was slower and more computationally expensive. Our results suggest that the choice of model depends heavily on the specific application requirements, such as the need for real-time processing or high precision. Future work should focus on optimizing these models for edge devices and improving their robustness in diverse environmental conditions, further enhancing their practical utility in real-world applications.
Codes of conduct: towards just coexistence in urban spaces
Authors: Lukasik Karolina Magdalena , Linturi Maija , Aivelo Tuomas
Published: December 2024

Our study, comprising interviews and ethnographic observation, examines the human-rat conflict that arose in two urban allotment gardens in Helsinki as a case of multispecies negotiations. We view the rats’ presence and actions in the gardens as political claim-making, to which humans respond. Through these interactions, humans become attuned to the rats’ needs and build socio-ecological knowledge that is vital for more-than-human coexistence. As a result, the gardeners and the rats co-create an implicit code of conduct that defines the conditions of peaceful coexistence. We propose that the code of conduct framework is a useful tool in recognizing pathways towards solutions that achieve multispecies justice.
Development of Self-Healing 2K Waterborne Polyurethane Coatings with PVA/Polyurea Microcapsules for Enhanced Corrosion Protection
Authors: Han Yu , Wei Chaoquan , Wang Ting , Zeng En
Published: December 2024

The inevitable damage to paint films during coating applications significantly reduces their protective performance, leaving the underlying substrate vulnerable. Developing self-healing coatings is therefore of critical importance. This study presents the synthesis of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/polyurea hybrid microcapsules (MCs) loaded with isophorone diisocyanate via interfacial polymerization in an oil-in-water emulsion, with PVA serving as the emulsifier. These microcapsules were incorporated into acrylic resin, along with a dispersant, co-solvent, and isocyanate curing agent, to formulate a microencapsulated self-healing two-component waterborne polyurethane (2K WPU) coating. The microcapsules were characterized using TG, FTIR, and SEM. The influence of PVA's polymerization degree and alcoholysis degree on microcapsule properties was systematically analyzed. Results indicate that PVA1799 as an emulsifier yields microcapsules with minimal surface folds and smooth morphology. When 9 wt% of MC1799 was added to the 2K WPU coating, the resulting formulation exhibited optimal performance, achieving an average particle size of 29 µm, along with superior self-healing and anti-corrosion properties. This research offers a novel approach for developing high-performance self-healing coatings with potential industrial applications.
Development of Emotion Recognition for Rehabilitation Feedback System Using Wavelet Transform and LSTM
Authors: Wang Chang-Wen , Zhang Yue , Osawa Keisuke , Nakagawa Kei , Tanaka Eiichiro
Published: December 2024

Human assist devices have been used to assist users in rehabilitation environments to correct patients' motions to increase the rehabilitation quality. However, they are usually a routing working machine that cannot consider the patient's emotions. By introducing emotion recognition into the system, the device can detect the user's condition more accurately and provide a corresponding action to improve the experience. This study focuses on enhancing the precision of emotion recognition for a rehabilitation device designed for stroke patients, which will adjust according to their emotional state to improve their rehabilitation experience. In this study, the Database for Emotion Analysis using Physiological Signals (DEAP) is leveraged, which includes multimodal physiological signals and subjective emotion ratings from 32 participants watching 40 emotion-evoking video clips that is suitable for neural network training. Two preprocessing methods, Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) and Wavelet Transform (WT), are considered for utilizing the dataset. Additionally, DNN, DenseNet, and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks are considered the core of the classification method, which will determine the emotion into 3, 5, or 9 categories. The result indicates that STFT and WT preserve temporal and frequency information that can benefit the classification. Among the models, LSTM demonstrates superior capability in capturing sequential data features from EEG signals, leading to higher accuracy rates. Throughout experiments, the best performance was achieved with the LSTM network processed with WT, with accuracies of 88% for valence and 90% for arousal in 3x3 classification, which is better than the previous system. This comprehensive analysis underscores the importance of choosing appropriate signal processing techniques and neural network architectures to enhance the precision and reliability of emotion recognition systems using EEG data. It can be further applied to detect patients' conditions to provide a better rehabilitation experience for stroke patients.
Learning about the liveability of cities from young migrants using the combinatorial-Hodge-theory approach
Authors: Aoki Takaaki , Nagamachi Kohei , Shimane Tetsuya
Published: December 2024

Migration is a major decision to leave one place and move to another, involving career and life changes. Migration flows provide people's comparisons across places about which is better to live by ''vote with their feet'' (Tiebout, 1956). However, is it possible to derive a consistent measure of the liveability of cities from these flows? We propose a combinatorial-Hodge-theory approach: the empirical liveability of cities is evaluated by a potential governing unbalanced, acyclic migrations between cities. As a case study, we measure the liveability of municipalities in Japan for specific populations such as families with small children and women of reproductive age in a population-decline society. Using these potentials as dependent variables, we perform a regression analysis to identify the factors relevant to liveability. We also derive analytical expressions that allow us to interpret as potentials the standards of living or utilities, estimated in the economics literature (Douglas & Wall, 1993; Douglas, 1997; Douglas & Wall, 2000; Wall, 2001; Nakajima & Tabuchi, 2011). The proposed method extracts a consistent metric of interval scale from the non-transitive, pairwise comparison between locations and provides substantial statistics for urban planning by policymakers.

Molecular phylogeny and taxonomy of five Ethmia (Hübner, 1819) morfo-species from Türkiye
Authors: Kızıldağ Sibel
Published: December 2024

The genus Ethmia (Hübner, 1819) is a medium-sized moth with a global distribution that includes species and species groups with controversial systematics in terms of morphology. In modern systematic studies, determining species boundaries is an important step in revealing biodiversity. DNA barcoding allows testing species boundaries and phylogenetic relationships of controversial morpho-species. The mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene used as a DNA barcode is a universal marker used for species identification and delimitation in the animal kingdom. In this study, the COI genes of Ethmia amasina, Ethmia hakkarica, Ethmia caradjae, Ethmia similis and Ethmia tripunctella species from Türkiye, documented morphologically and recorded in the CESA collection, were sequenced for the first time. Genetic distances between close congeners were determined using the Kimura 2-parameter (K2P) model using the barcodes of five Ethmia species. Bayesian inference (BI) and Maximum Likelihood (ML) algorithms were used to reveal the phylogenetic relationships among the members of the genus. According to the genetic distance analysis results, Ethmia caradjae, E. similis, E. tripunctella and E. amasina are distinct taxa with strong species boundaries (>0.02). However, no significant genetic distance (0.01) was detected between Ethmia amasina and Ethmia hakkarica populations. According to the results of phylogenetic analysis, in the clade where the presented species are located, Ethmia caradjae and E. bipunctella are sister and form a clade by branching to these species, respectively, E. similis and E. similis. A clade formed by sister positions of E. amasina and E. hakkarica was connected to this clade, and E. tripunctella was closely related to these species. In addition, while the branch lengths of Ethmia caradjae, E. similis, E. tripunctella and E. amasina were at the species level, it was determined that although a lineage split was seen in the E. amasina and E. hakkarica distinction, it was not at the species level. Therefore, Ethmia hakkarica is a synonym of E. amasina according to the priority rule

Within disease-endemic regions in Nigeria, specifically Niger State, mosquito-borne diseases lead to extensive morbidity and mortality. Species composition and seasonal density are vital in determining the prevalence of adult mosquitoes and associated diseases, hence, the existence of mosquito species. From May 2019 to March 2020, mosquito species were assessed. An experimental field closed-cage study was employed, and mosquitoes were sampled every two weeks by agitation and subjected to microscopy. A total of seven species of mosquitoes belonging to three genera (Aedes, Anopheles, and Culex) were collected. These include Aedes aegypti, Ae. dorsalis, Anopheles gambiae, An. coustani, Culex quinquefasciatus, Cx. nigripalpus and Cx. salinarius. Mosquito density in large water bodies was significantly higher followed by the gutters and Swamps. Bosso demonstrated the highest species variation, followed by Katcha, Shiroro and the least was Lapai. The highest means density of mosquitoes was observed in August while the lowest was recorded in November. The overall peak density of adult mosquitoes was recorded in the rainy season and lower in the dry season. Mosquito density was correlated with temperature, dissolved oxygen, chlorine, potassium, alkalinity, biochemical oxygen demand, conductivity, and pH. A positive correlation was found between mosquito density with rainfall and relative humidity. Only Anopheles in large water habitat was significant), indicating a positive influence of these habitats on mosquitoes. Mosquitoes vary across habitats and correlated positively with certain physical and chemical characteristics in different habitats. Manipulation of these parameters is essential to minimize mosquito diseases
Impact of sprouted wheat grain flakes on the quality characteristics of dough and bread made from wheat flour
Authors: Oliinyk Svitlana , Samokhvalova Olga , Bilash Bohdan , Bolkhovitina Olena
Published: December 2024

Bread is an essential food in many countries of the world, so it is important to increase its nutritional value. For this purpose, products of processing of plant raw materials with a high content of useful substances are effectively used. An important stage in the development of the technology of such products is the study of the influence of enriching raw materials on the formation of bread quality. This article presents the results of a study of the course of microbiological processes of dough ripening, changes in its structural and mechanical properties, organoleptic and physicochemical indicators of the quality of baked bread with the addition of sprouted wheat grain flakes.
It was found that in dough with sprouted wheat grain flakes (10…20 % instead of wheat flour) the indicators of titrate acidity and the amount of released carbon dioxide are 7.0…17.0 % and 9.0…26.4 % higher than in the control sample, which indicates the intensification of lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation. This is explained by the activation of fermentation microflora due to the increase in the amount of mono- and disaccharides, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals present in sprouted wheat grain flakes in the dough.
A 9.0…26.4 % higher indicator of dough spreading with flakes indicates a weakening of the dough structure, which is associated with their high enzymatic activity, which causes more intensive hydrolysis of gluten and starch in wheat flour.
To obtain bread with high organoleptic and physicochemical properties, it is advisable to use no more than 15 % of sprouted wheat grain flakes. The use of flakes will allow creating a bread technology that can be recommended for the nutrition of people living in extreme conditions

A fine-fiber composite material based on chitin-glucan-melanin complex (ChGMC) from the fungus Fomes fomentarius (Ordinarius tin, Basidiomycetes family) is not inferior to the best samples of surgical cotton in terms of hygroscopicity and surpasses it in its ability to rapidly stop bleeding and numb wounds. This material quickly stops bleeding from large vessels, does not penetrate into the tissues from the surface of the wound, and over time is displaced from it thanks to the stimulation of cell regeneration, accelerates the recovery of damaged tissues and reduces the mass of scar tissue. The synergistic effect of chitin/chitosan, beta-glucans and melanin disinfects purulent wounds – neutralizes various bacteria, pathogenic micromycetes and wound viruses in the wound. The aseptic mechanism of action of ChGMC is not toxic for the cells of the host organism and at the same time is directed at the binding of toxic products. ChGMC is not inferior to the best samples of surgical cotton in terms of hygroscopicity and surpasses it in its ability to rapidly stop bleeding and numb wounds. Over time, ChGMC is displaced from the wound, accelerates the recovery of damaged tissues, reduces the mass of scar tissue, and almost halves the duration of treatment. ChGMC showed its high efficiency in the treatment of infected surgical and burn wounds, as well as trophic ulcers. The thin fiber structure of the product and a huge specific surface area (more than 1000 m2/g of material) make it possible to create materials for covering deep wounds, powder-like products for covering damaged skin, foam-like napkins for closing the wound surface, and others
Evaluation of feed intake, growth performance, and carcass characteristics of West African dwarf rams fed mango leaves, Napier grass, Neem Seed Cake, and concentrate for fattening

Published: December 2024

This study assessed the growth performance, feed intake, carcass, and non-carcass characteristics of West African Dwarf (WAD) rams fed diets containing mango leaves (ML), neem seed cake (NSC), Napier grass (NG), and concentrate over 92 days. The research aimed to address the problem of forage scarcity and rising feed costs in tropical regions by evaluating the potential of ML and NSC as alternative feed resources. Forty rams were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments, each with ten replicates, and monitored for feed intake, weight gain, and carcass parameters.
The results demonstrated that diets containing ML and NSC (Diets B and D) significantly improved growth and carcass characteristics. Diet B recorded the highest hot carcass weight (6.01 kg), while Diet D showed superior organ weights, including liver and kidney. Average feed intake ranged from 10.67 kg (Diet C) to 11.13 kg (Diet A), with notable differences in slaughter weights and carcass yields. ML and NSC diets provided superior nutrient profiles, with crude protein content of 18.4 % and 23.88 %, respectively, contributing to improved productivity.
The findings indicate that ML and NSC can serve as sustainable, cost-effective alternatives to traditional feeds, addressing the challenges of feed scarcity and high costs. These results are particularly applicable for smallholder farmers in tropical regions, offering a practical approach to enhancing sheep production and food security. Future research should focus on determining optimal inclusion rates and evaluating the economic feasibility of these feed resources
Terrains of Imagination in Contemporary Finnish Literature: Harassing Habitats in Maarit Verronen's Fiction
Authors: Kankkunen Sarianna
Published: December 2024

This study examines experienced space in Maarit Verronen’s works of prose fiction. The study aligns itself with the contemporary approach often referred to as spatial literary studies, a movement connected to the spatial turn within the humanities. Theoretically, the study draws on multiple fields of spatial studies, from semiotics of space to critical theory and poststructuralism. By providing a categorization on different approaches within spatial literary studies, the study promotes literary studies that utilize spatial theory and explores how spatial concepts can be effectively used as tools for close reading.

Since the study aims to provide a longitudinal section of Verronen’s oeuvre, the selected material spans the author’s early works, from the 1990s to the late 2000s. The corpus involves six novels and two short stories. The analysis begins with the fantastic realms of Verronen’s early career, proceeds to consider wilderness and wild spaces, turns to visions of dystopic futures, and concludes in the narratives of homecoming and homesteading. The study shows that Verronen’s fantasy draws its allegorical potential from the juxtaposition of spatialized binary semantic oppositions. By analyzing Verronen’s dystopian novels, the study unravels the spatial nature of the genre and the critical potential it encompasses. Verronen’s narratives on wilderness are approached through the notion of spatial practices and in the context of alienation and postpastoralism. Finally, the analysis on the literary homes and the acts of homesteading in Verronen’s novels foregrounds the open, connected, and inclusive nature of the contemporary notion of home and new forms of attachment to place, both of which are under an active debate in spatial literary studies.

By bringing together spatial literary studies and Verronen’s works, this research adds to the study of Finnish literature and contemporary literature’s emphasis on space, spatiality, and environmental issues. Moreover, the study contributes to the knowledge on the genres of fantasy and dystopia, as well as to the study of classic literary tropes and their contemporary manifestations. As the study contextualizes Verronen’s works within Nordic and European literatures, it draws attention to the thematic and stylistic connections that link her writing to broader literary trends and traditions.

ética do discurso contra o charlatanismo, uma Resenha
Authors: Domingos Leonardo
Published: December 2024

A resenha da obra de Bilate apresenta uma crítica incisiva ao charlatanismo na filosofia, destacando a importância da clareza e da honestidade intelectual no discurso filosófico. Bilate critica discursos empolados e difíceis que desviam o foco da busca pela verdade, argumentando que a responsabilidade ética do autor é comunicar suas ideias de forma clara e relevante, sem recorrer a jargões obscuros para obter reconhecimento acadêmico. Utilizando a crítica sociológica do gosto de Pierre Bourdieu, Bilate expõe como grupos acadêmicos podem usar o charlatanismo para manter prestígio e monopólio do discurso. A resenha recomenda a leitura da obra como um guia essencial para uma prática filosófica autêntica e ética, especialmente em um contexto acadêmico institucionalizado.
