Metanarrative of Eternal World in Eusebius of Caesarea's “Ecclesiastical History”
Authors: Zaitcev Pavel L.
Published: October 2024

The article provides a theoretical description of the meta-narrative of the eternal world in the historiographical tradition of late antiquity and the Middle Ages. The eternal world is a frozen, stopped world. The concept of the “end of history” is usually associated with the idea of a universal crisis. The author thinks differently, speaking about the idea of an eternal world with an eternal city in the center. The “History” of Polybius and the “Geography” of Strabon became “universal” because the world has its center in Roma Aeterna. Greek civilization did not know the idea of one center. Plato said that the Greeks live around the Mediterranean like frogs around a swamp. This is a decentered understanding of historical space. The idea of the completeness of history made it possible to join the historical descriptions of philosophers and theologians. Church history as a special genre of historical literature has extended the existence of the meta-narrative of eternal peace. This genre was criticized by Tacitus and continued by Eusebius of Caesarea along with representatives of early Byzantine historiography. Generalizing studies of church-historical concepts and models of early Byzantine historiography have not yet been published. Appeal to the meta-narrative of the eternal world is designed to overcome these shortcomings.
“We Should Be Envious of a Man Who Has Had Such a Fate”: 70th Anniversary of P.N. Milyukov in the Scientific and Public Life of the Russian Emigrants
Authors: Voloshina V. Yu.
Published: October 2024

The article deals with the celebration of the 70th anniversary of P.N. Milyukov by the emigrant community in 1929. The objects of the research are scenario of celebration and rituals of academic commemoration in the changed post-revolutionary realities. To clarify the features of the design of memorial celebrations in emigration, materials of the celebration of the 60th anniversary of M.N. Pokrovsky in the Soviet Union in 1928 are involved. The source study of the article was based on historiographical sources in the form of collections of scientific papers and individual articles dedicated to the anniversaries, paperwork documents (records of meetings of the commission on the celebration of the anniversary of M.N. Pokrovsky, deposited in the Comacademy fund) and emigrant and Soviet periodicals, reflecting the chronicle of the celebrations. It is noted that the set of anniversary events has not changed fundamentally, although in the Soviet version it was supplemented by assigning the names of living party and scientific figures to various institutions. A comparison of the scenarios of the celebration of Milyukov in exile and Pokrovsky in Soviet realities allowed the authors to make a conclusion about the specifics of the anniversary commemoration in the conditions of emigration. It is connected, firstly, with the influence of a fundamentally different communicative space and the need to fit into the institutions and practices of foreign scientific communities, secondly, with the opposition of the Soviet branch of historical science, thirdly, with a high degree of emotional and psychological coloring of jealously protected traditions and, as a result, the “embalming” of the classics.
“Vaccine Diplomacy” As a Factor of the International Landscape and Its Significance for Russia
Authors: Cherkashina Tatyana N.
Published: October 2024

This article examines the concept of “vaccine diplomacy”, which came into the socio-political and scientific discourse in connection with the pandemic of coronavirus infection. It is determined that it means the use of a vaccine as a means of diplomacy. It highlights how “vaccine diplomacy” leads to an aggravation of interstate rivalry in the fight for pandemic management, since each State wanted to be the first in this regard and lead efforts to combat a new international threat. It is indicated that in order to develop an effective vaccine against coronavirus, a number of components were required: a sufficiently high level of scientific and technological development, special knowledge, qualified personnel, appropriate equipment. such a set of components was available in the arsenal of a small circle of countries, among which were Russia, China, India, the United States and the United Kingdom. On the one hand, “vaccine diplomacy” was an important way to test the medical, scientific and diplomatic achievements of the nation. On the other hand, the vaccine, being one of the main ways of implementing “vaccine diplomacy”, received a political subtext, quickly turning into one of the factors of the formation of the international world order. Russia has registered the world's very first anti-covid vaccine and has taken the lead in the “vaccine race”. This showed that Russia still occupies a leading position at the international level in some industries. In the context of the deterioration of the financial situation of Russians due to the restrictive measures imposed in connection with the pandemic, as well as the decline of the Russian economy, this helped to strengthen the social unity of Russia and increase confidence in the government. Russia has had the opportunity to improve its image in the international arena and expand its international influence by pursuing a “vaccine policy” of a humanitarian nature. Since Russia became the leader, having overtaken the countries of the West, the competitive struggle on their part was manifested, among other things, in the form of information confrontation. instead of discussing the clinical effect of the Russian vaccine, the West, led by the United States, began to organize a powerful information attack on Sputnik. Such insinuations of the West could be explained by political and economic motives. Political motives were associated with the presence of acute disagreements related to the aggravation of the Ukrainian crisis. Economic motives were connected with the fact that Russia, India and China were becoming competitors in the pharmaceutical industry and hindered profit. It is concluded that “vaccine diplomacy” has become a significant element of the international landscape, since it led to the transformation of a medical problem into a political one, and allowed Russia to regain its status as a great scientific power.

The St. Petersburg Foundling Home and the Emergence of the German Friedenthal Colony
Authors: Cherkazyanova Irina V.
Published: October 2024

The article examines the history of the craft colony Friedenthal, which arose near St. Petersburg in the migration wave of foreign colonists of the first third of the 19th century. It had a special history of foundation and significant differences from other German settlements. For the first time, the history of the Friedenthal colony is viewed through the prism of the history of the Orphanage, new documents are introduced into scientific circulation. The colony became a vivid example of the emergence of bourgeois relations among the German colonists. The emergence of the Friedenthal colony in 1819, in modern terms, was a successful business project. This required a combination of several socio-political and socio-economic conditions. The idea of founding a settlement belonged to the Bergtal weavers, who proposed to organize a settlement on the model of the settlements that existed in their homeland. A plot of land on the outskirts of Tsarskoye Selo, the construction of the first houses with workshops and a loan to acquire settlers was provided by the treasury. The equipment for the manufactory was provided by a compatriot of weavers, a St. Petersburg merchant F. Ude. The issue of labor resources was solved through the involvement of pets of the St. Petersburg Educational Home. The Friedentals set a precedent for the use of pets in all the St. Petersburg German colonies. The colonists were responsible for the maintenance and handicraft and school education of teenagers during their work in Friedenthal. The production of the main products of the colonists (ribbons, cords, braid, other cotton and wool products) successfully developed until the early 1860s, then the decline in production began. In 1859 the issue of pets to Friedenthal weavers stopped. The reason for the termination of the use of pupils was the violation of the conditions of their detention by the colonists, this became a decisive factor for the conversion of the colonists' occupations. An analysis of the experience of manufacturing in Friedenthal leads to the conclusion that its appearance is somewhat premature, exceptional, and therefore there is little prospect. The incident with the pupils was only a reason for the conversion of the colony.
Value Priorities, Gender-Role Identity and Types of Attachment in Women Aborting Pregnancy
Authors: Karpova E.B. , Goncharuk T.B.
Published: October 2024

The article presents the results of an empirical study conducted with “crisis” pregnant women who decided to have an artificial abortion. The data of a survey and a psychodiagnostic study of value and role preferences, conscious motivations for the decision to terminate pregnancy, subjective assessments of factors that, in their opinion, could affect their reproductive choice, women's satisfaction with their present and future, satisfaction with marriage, attachment characteristics, and a level of formation of gender-role identity are described. A comparative analysis of indicators for these characteristics of women with a “crisis” pregnancy and pregnant women who decided to bear a child (control group) revealed a number of differences between them at a statistically significant level. Along with socio-economic reasons, the reproductive choice of women who have decided to terminate pregnancy is associated with the peculiarity of their value-motivational sphere, with a low level of reflection, insufficient gender identity, dissatisfaction with family relationships, dissatisfaction with their lives and themselves, a reduced mood background.
The Connection of Procrastination and Subjective Alienation on the Different Education Stages
Authors: Karlovskaia N.N. , Konopleva N.V.
Published: October 2024

The present study investigated the level of procrastination (General Procrastination Scale (GPS)) and subjective alienation (Subjective Alienation Questionnaire for Students by E. N. Osin) and its relationships in three subgroups: senior pupils (n = 27), first year undergraduate students (n = 20) and second higher degree students (n = 20). A statistically significant decrease in the level of procrastination was found in second higher degree students compared to senior pupils, a decrease in the feeling of subjective alienation general score and in the scales of alienation from studying, from the internal world, from interpersonal relations. Subjective alienation at different stages of socialization and its reduction profiles has its own characteristics and depends on the sphere of alienation. Indicators of alienation and procrastination moderately positively correlate with each other and demonstrate different patterns of connections among students of different levels of education: in the second higher degree students, procrastination is interconnected with alienation in all areas except studying; first year undergraduate students - with alienation from themselves, family and relationships; senior pupils - from themselves, family and society. The indicators of the scale “Alienation in studying” do not correlate with procrastination. Authors interpret results in terms of the stages of socialization theory.
Sindrome de Takotsubo
Authors: Reillo Sánchez Carmen Mª
Published: October 2024

El Síndrome de Takotsubo, también conocido como miocardiopatía de estrés o "síndrome del corazón roto", es una condición cardíaca temporal que simula un infarto agudo de miocardio, presentándose con síntomas como dolor torácico y dificultad para respirar, pero sin obstrucción significativa en las arterias coronarias. Este síndrome se desencadena principalmente por situaciones de estrés emocional o físico intenso, como la pérdida de un ser querido, un accidente o una cirugía, lo que subraya su relación directa con los procesos de estrés.
Aunque la fisiopatología no se comprende por completo, se cree que un aumento súbito en los niveles de catecolaminas, las hormonas liberadas en respuesta al estrés una disfunción transitoria del ventrículo izquierdo. El diagnóstico se basa en la identificación de disfunción ventricular transitoria, la ausencia de enfermedad coronaria obstructiva significativa, cambios en el electrocardiograma (ECG) o leves elevaciones de los marcadores cardíacos, y la recuperación completa de la función ventricular en semanas.
La identificación rápida es esencial, ya que, aunque generalmente es reversible, el síndrome puede llevar a complicaciones graves como insuficiencia cardíaca y arritmias. El diagnóstico preciso permite un tratamiento adecuado y la distinción de otras condiciones cardíacas más peligrosas.

Re-Christianize to save. The Mexican Legion of Decency as a cultural Project in the modus vivendi
Authors: Ramírez Bonilla Laura Camila
Published: October 2024

The objective of this article is to analyze the Mexican Legion of Decency, in its structure and plan of action, as a Catholic project that, from the safeguarding of the morality of film production, contributed to the stability of relations between Church and State, between 1938 and 1960. In dialogue with the Catholic right, this kind of initiative opened the way to a forbidden interference, although active and sustained, of the ecclesiastical institution in the public sphere of Mexican society. Their actions admitted a capacity for intervention that ranged from the daily life of a parishioner to possible sanctions stipulated in the penal code for an attack on morals. The Legion was part of a project to reaffirm Catholic morality, in collusion with the Mexican State, through three major references: the pontifical mandates, lay activism after the 1929 peace accords, and the American experience in the moral censorship of cinema.Keywords: cinema; moral; censorship; culture; catholicism
Demographic dynamics and nuptiality of the Monclova presidio, 1776-1823
Authors: Martínez Loera Seidi , González Flores José Gustavo
Published: October 2024

In the second half of the 18th century, the presidios had some changes in terms of their objectives. One of them was to become a settlement enclave as well as being a defensive bastion. To measure the success of the presidio as a demographic settlement, the objective of this article is to analyze the population dynamics and nuptiality in the case of the Monclova presidio from 1776 to 1823. The sources used are the records of baptisms, marriages and burials of the presidio that will be analyzed with the aggregative method. It is concluded that there were some similarities between the presidio and other settlements in terms of their demographic structure, but the natural growth remained negative due to the excess mortality due to the epidemics of the period. In this sense, nuptiality failed to sustain population growth due to the scarcity of second marriages that created new families and self-regulate their growth.Keywords: population; epidemics; marriage; births; mortality
Policy, Health, and education in the donations of books to the Parliament of the Liberal Triennium
Authors: Feria Lorenzo Diego José , Ramos Cobano Cristina , González Sanz Juan Diego
Published: October 2024

The Liberal Triennium was the first Spanish parliamentary period. In this legislative framework, and throughout the debates of the different laws that the prolific action of the deputies carried out, 83 books of national authorship and ano-ther 13 of foreign writers arrive at the hemicycle as donations. This article intends to make a description, both quantitative and qualitative, of the texts that —for the most part— were nourishing the commissions that were commissioned to carry out the legislation that was being developed in the Chamber. The fact that the deputies did not limit themselves to accepting the books that were coming to them, but dis-tributed them among the different commissions, suggests that they were concerned with drafting quality laws, refined not only from the debate in the hemicycle but also through specialized readings in each subject.Keywords: liberal legislation; texts donation; parliamentary; liberalism
A peaceful old age? Pensions in Mexico's history, 1850-2021
Authors: Vivaldo Juan Pablo
Published: October 2024

The aim of this paper is to examine the historical background of old age pensions in Mexico. The text shows its origins lie in the mid-nineteenth century mutual societies and that the beginning of the pensions financial crisis is linked not only to a scarce analysis of the aging population but a minimum government commitment for protecting the worker once advanced age is reached. In addition, it is shown that the first international steps regarding the protection of old age lie in the International Labour Organization (ilo). Finally, the path of non-contributive old age pensions in Mexico is briefly reviewed.Keywords: mutualism; retirement; older people; aging; financial crisis
Funerals and diplomacy: The desath of "the Air Ambassador" Emilio Carranza, in 1928
Authors: Preciado Julia		ORCID.ORG/
Published: October 2024

In this essay I reconstruct the good-will flight and 1928 funeral of pilot Emilio Carranza (1905-1928); both, examples of the diplomacy of the times be-tween Mexico and the United States. I point out that flight was part of a strategy by the Plutarco Elías Calles government (1924-1928) to distract citizens, particularly those living in Mexico City, away from the ongoing Cristero Rebellion (1926-1929). I analyze the symbolism behind the funeral of Emilio Carranza in New York, and the funereal trip of his remains through several us cities until their first Mexican destination: Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas. I delve into the news in the national and international press as well as documents from the Historical Archive of the Secretary of National Defense. I close this at the moment in which Carranza’s casket —covered with a us flag, as way of paying homage to him— crossed the border and disappeared amid the dusty and desert-like streets of the Mexican border town.Keywords: pilots; rituals; aeronautics; diplomatic relations; Mexico-United States
Eva Duarte and its representations in Peronism at the beginning of the 60s in Argentina
Authors: Funes Andrés Nicolás
Published: October 2024

This article analyzes the representations that Peronist individual and or-ganizational actors in Argentina made of Eva Duarte between 1962 and 1966. The senses given to his figure are examined in two key facts of the history of Peronism: the October 17 and the Renunciamiento. Likewise, I seek to understand the parti-cularities of the biography of Evita and the tributes to her death articulated by these Peronist narratives in the period considered. The characteristics of the Avoidist myth were linked to the political struggles that were waged within Peronism. In years cha-racterized by an attempt to integrate the “Peronist vote” into the political-institutional system and to exclude the leadership of Juan Domingo Perón, the different facets given to Evita allowed polemicizing with antithetical sectors and co-opting others. Keywords: Evita; october the 17th; Renunciamiento; evitista myth; sixties

Published: October 2024

In the Indian context, financial planning for salaried individuals has gained increased importance due to economic fluctuations, rising living costs, and the need for robust retirement planning. Despite its importance, there is limited research on the specific factors that influence financial decision-making among salaried employees in India. Understanding these determinants is essential for developing effective strategies to enhance financial well-being among employees. This study explores the key factors influencing financial decision-making among employees, including financial goals, emergency savings, retirement planning, budgeting, financial confidence and literacy, financial stress, use of tax-saving instruments, income level, risk tolerance, and debt levels. A sample of 549 employees from diverse sectors in Uttar Pradesh participated in this research, highlighting the critical aspects of personal financial management that impact financial well-being. The study used a questionnaire-based survey to gather data on factors affecting financial decision-making. Descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analyses were employed to identify significant predictors. The results reveal that financial literacy, access to resources, attitudes toward retirement planning, and cultural norms significantly influence financial decisions. Additionally, income level, job stability, and social support are crucial in shaping employees’ financial planning. The study recommends enhancing employees’ financial decision-making by offering financial education programs, budgeting tools, retirement planning assistance, debt management programs, tax planning workshops, financial counselling services, and employer match programs for retirement savings. These initiatives aim to boost financial literacy and confidence, enabling employees to make informed financial decisions and improve their financial well-being.

Studies of Accelerated Drying of Ceramic Moulds with the use of Microwaves
Authors: Just P. , Kaczorowski R. , Topola M. , Pacyniak T. , Rapiejko C.
Published: October 2024

The article presents the results of studies of the process of accelerated drying performed by means of microwave radiation of ceramic moulds deposited on patterns made of foamed plastics used in the Ceramic Shell technology. The studies aimed at determining the microwave radiation parameters (power, downtime, and uninterrupted operation time) in order to obtain the maximally short drying times which do not cause pattern destruction. The analysis of results confirmed that an increase of the microwave radiation power shortens the drying time of the particular layers of the ceramic mould, however, at the same time, it excessively raises the temperature of the mould. With the microwave power over 1200 W, we can obtain the drying time of one layer at the level of about 30 min, and the temperature of the mould reaches the value of 70oC, which does not cause deformation or partial melting of the polystyrene pattern. From the point of view of production effectiveness, as a result of the application of microwave drying, the time of production of ceramic moulds was shortened from 7 days to 1 working day.
Application of SiC Based Moulding Sand in Technology of Layered Castings
Authors: Przyszlak N. , Wrobel T.
Published: October 2024

The article concerns the technology of layered castings made with a system where the base part is made of gray cast iron with flake graphite and the working part is made of high-chromium steel X46Cr13. The castings were produced using mould cavity preparation method utilizing a molding sand based on SiC. The idea of the research was to perform heat treatment of X46Cr13 steel directly in the casting mould, with the success of this approach guaranteed by selecting molding sand with appropriate physicochemical parameters. During the pouring and cooling of the mould, the temperature on the outer surface of the steel insert was recorded to check if it reached the required austenitization temperature. The castings were then examined for the quality of the bond between the gray cast iron base part and the steel working part, microstructure studies were conducted using light and scanning microscopes, and hardness was measured on the surface of X46Cr13 steel. Based on the conducted research, it was found that the high thermal conductivity of the molding sand made with a silicon carbide base disqualifies it for use in the analyzed technology of integrating heat treatment of X46Cr13 steel with the process of producing a bimetal system with gray cast iron. In the microstructure of the steel, in addition to martensite, pearlite and ferrite were present. Therefore, a satisfactory increase in the hardness of the working surface compared to the annealed state of X46Cr13 steel was not achieved, which ultimately confirmed that the hardening of the steel insert was unsuccessful.

Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked rare disorder caused by mutations in the GLA gene. Women with FD have been less enrolled in studies and less treated compared with men. The aim of the present study is to describe the complete phenotype of the women cohort with FD diagnosed and evaluated in Romania and compare it to the male population.

This study included all consecutive patients diagnosed with FD referred to the Expert Center for Rare Genetic Cardiovascular Diseases between 2014–2023 which included 73 consecutive Romanian FD patients: 41 women (56.2%) and 32 men (43.8%) from 33 unrelated families.

Women with FD were diagnosed later and had a later symptom onset. Comparing with men, women were less often symptomatic, but with similar symptom severity. They had similar ophthalmologic and ENT involvement, but less angiokeratomas. Both women and men had similar heart failure symptoms, which were usually mild to moderate, with no difference between the age of developing of the heart failure symptoms. There were also similar rates of acroparesthesia and stroke between sexes, but women presented less renal involvement, with less requirement for renal transplant.

This study demonstrates that women with Fabry disease are not just carriers of the disease, they can present symptoms as severe as men, and they have less or later access to pathogenic therapy. Further studies with more female participations are needed to better understand the burden of Fabry disease in women.

Published: October 2024

Although previously thought to be a benign, self-limiting condition, recent studies have confirmed that patients with takotsubo syndrome have persistent subtle ongoing cardiac dysfunction, and many continue to have limiting symptoms despite restoration of left ventricular ejection fraction [17,18,19]. The aim of the study was to present the clinical course, comorbidities, complications, early and late mortality in a patient with takotsubo cardiomyopathy as clinical disorder in cardiology. A 55-years old postmenopausal woman presented to the emergency unit with chest pain, mild shortness of breath and ST wave elevation on her ECG. Previously she described that she had acute emotional stress 2 hours before she visits the doctor. Chest pain was described as strong, left-sided and suddenly without dyspnea. At admission, her venous blood pressure was high, 195 mmHg systolic and 100 mmHg diastolic values. Electrocardiographic examination shows the ST wave elevation in V2 to V4 lines, D1. She reported that in medical history she had hypertension, diabetes mellitus type-1 and was smoker with no similar symptoms never before. During admission and hospital treatment at the Clinic for Cardiology at the University Clinical Center in Kragujevac, anamnesis, clinical examination, echocardiography and ventriculography were done, as well as cardiac necrosis markers and other laboratory parameters were measured. Also, coronary angiography and clinical course and complications were followed. The main symptom in takotsubo cardiomyopathy was retrosternal chest pain exactly the same as in STEMI. Previously considered to be a benign syndrome, takotsubo cardiomyopathy should be reconsidered as a clinical condition at risk of serious complications such as cardiac arrest, cardiogenic shock, pulmonary oedema and cardiac rupture leading to death.

Integrating Digital Financial Solutions with Blockchain to Enhance Transparency in Bangladesh’s Agri-Food Supply Chain
Authors: Walalangi Stephany Jilly Rebeca , Mandey Silvya Levina , Trang Irvan , Wenas Rudy Steven
Published: October 2024

Background: The agri-food supply chain in Bangladesh is critical for the nation's economic stability and sustenance but faces significant challenges such as lack of transparency, inefficiencies, and information asymmetry. Although Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and blockchain databases have proven effective in addressing these concerns, most blockchain and IoT-based models recommend using cryptocurrencies like Ethereum. However, the use of blockchain-based cryptocurrencies not yet legal in Bangladesh. Given the widespread use of mobile banking solutions such as Bkash, Nagad, and Rocket, there is a need for a legal and practical alternative.
 
Objective: This research investigates how integrating digital financial solutions (DFF) with blockchain technology influences the transparent flow of physical goods and information (PHF) and subsequently enhances transparency in the agri-food supply chain (TASC) in Bangladesh. The study examines two main hypotheses: the impact of DFF on PHF and the resulting effect of improved PHF on TASC.
 
Methods: Utilizing a detailed methodological approach, the study employed IBM SPSS for exploratory factor analysis and IBM AMOS for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM). These tools were used to evaluate the relationships between DFF, PHF, and TASC, based on data gathered from 400 respondents within Bangladesh's agricultural sector.
 
Results: The study's findings support both hypotheses, revealing a significant positive impact of DFF on PHF, which in turn positively influences TASC. These results underscore the importance of DFF in improving supply chain transparency.
 
Research Implications: This research offers empirical evidence of the effectiveness of integrating DFF with blockchain technology in addressing transparency challenges within the agri-food supply chain. It highlights the potential of these digital solutions to improve efficiency, decision-making, and consumer trust in the agricultural sector, particularly in developing countries like Bangladesh.
 
Originality/Value: This study offers unique insights into the role of DFF in boosting transparency and efficiency in the agri-food supply chain. Focusing on Bangladesh, it presents significant implications for industry practitioners, policymakers, and researchers, demonstrating the transformative potential of integrating DFF with blockchain technology in agricultural supply chain management.

Objectives: To evaluate the level of anxiety experienced by 1st and 5th-year dental students in Portugal. Methods: The target population was students from Portuguese universities attending the 1st and 5th years of dental school during the academic year 2022/2023. Data were collected using the previously validated Modified Dental Anxiety Scale, available online on the Google Forms platform between February 2023 and June 2023. Data were statistically analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 29, using descriptive and inferential analysis methods. The Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used at a 5% significance level (p<0.05). Results: The sample of 301 students included 146 from the 1st year and 155 from the 5th year, and the majority were Portuguese, female, and in the age groups 17–20 and 21–24. Most of the students had typical levels of anxiety when in the patient’s position, although there were differences between years and age groups (p<0.05). Regarding dental specialties, most students feared Oral Surgery and Endodontics. Conclusions: First-year students were more likely to feel anxiety related to dental treatment when in the patient’s position. This finding may derive from their lack of clinical experience, which could help students overcome previous bad experiences. The patient's interest and knowledge should make it easier to understand the results of the treatments and why they need to be carried out.
Desmontar la pedagogía carcelaria. Deconstrucción de las violencias en la educación contemporánea
Authors: Santillan-Anguiano Ernesto Israel , González-Machado Emilia Cristina
Published: October 2024

El presente trabajo realiza un análisis documental que tiene como base la convergencia teórica de tres autores fundamentales para deconstruir los mecanismos de control que operan en las instituciones escolares: Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze y Byung Chul Han. En primer lugar, se hace una revisión de la obra de Foucault para describir las relaciones de poder, las tecnologías de control y la microfísica del poder durante la instauración de los mecanismos de vigilancia durante la consolidación del capitalismo en el siglo XIX. En un segundo momento se analiza el trabajo de Deleuze, quien logra describir el proceso de transición de una sociedad basada en la vigilancia a una basada en el control; de esta forma el autor logra explicar las crisis en los sistemas sociales cerrados, asumiendo que responden a mecanismos de control de mayor sofisticación durante el siglo XX. Como tercer apartado se presenta la postura de Han sobre la sociedad contemporánea, especialmente en el tema de la sociedad del cansancio y sus repercusiones en las relaciones de autoexigencia como mecanismo de control a inicios del siglo XXI. Finalmente, se realiza un análisis sobre la trascendencia de incorporar estos aportes a la explicación de las violencias en la educación actual, como referente de una crisis permanente en los sistemas escolares, y su necesaria transformación.

Tekoäly arjessa vaatii malttia ja harkintaa
Authors: Holopainen Mika
Published: October 2024

Tekoälyn hyödyntäminen kirjastopalveluissa herättää jatkuvasti vilkasta keskustelua. Yhden laajemman analyysin tilanteesta on esittänyt Andrew Cox viime vuonna julkaistussa artikkelissaan. Coxin mukaan tekoäly voi tuoda tehokkuutta ja uusia mahdollisuuksia tiedonhallintaan, mutta sen käyttöönotto vaatii huolellista harkintaa erityisesti eettisten kysymysten ja ammatillisten arvojen näkökulmasta. Tekoälyn avulla palveluita voidaan tehostaa ja parantaa, mutta samalla on tärkeää huolehtia, että ammatilliset arvot ja eettiset periaatteet säilyvät keskiössä.

Mitä jos käytössäsi olisi renki, jolle voisit antaa tehtäväksi kaikki tylsät tehtävät? Sen lisäksi renki tuntisi työsi ja voisit pyytää sitä tarkastamaan omaa työtäsi ja pyytää korjausehdotuksia. Lisäksi renki olisi vaatimaton, ei kiukuttelisi ja olisi aina töissä. Ja ennen kaikkea, se osaisi hommansa. Juuri tällainen kaveri on nykyaikainen koodiavustin. Miten pitkälle se voi minut avustaa? Ja voiko se tulevaisuudessa suositella minulle toista työpaikkaa?
