Teachers' Levels of Use and Stages of Concern Regarding Metaverse-based Classes in Home Economics Education
Authors: Kim Ye Lim , Chae Jung Hyun
Published: August 2022

The purpose of this study was to identify a support method for the introduction of metaverse-based classes (MBC) in home economics (HE) education. This was achieved by diagnosing the stages of concern and levels of use exhibited by HE teachers applying the concerns-based adoption model (CBAM). Questionnaires were sent to a convenience sample of middle- and high-school HE teachers using the KSDC (Korea Social Science Data Center). Overall, 271 responses were received, and the data were analyzed using KSDC E-STAT 3.0 and SPSS 28.0.1.1. The results were as follows: First, regarding the level of knowledge of MBC, the introductory level was the most common (139 respondents, 51.3%,), followed by the beginner level (81, 29.9%), the intermediate level (28, 10.3%,), the advanced level (12, 4.4%), and the master level (11, 4.1%). Average responses on a 5-point Likert scale to questions about the use of metaverse in HE classes were as follows: possibility (4.02), necessity (3.82), and usefulness (3.90). Second, HE teachers' stages of concern in MBC were as follows (in descending order): unconcerned - stage 0, and information - stage 1 (86.9), personal - stage 2 (85.6), management - stage 3 (80.9), collaboration - stage 5 (57.5), consequence - stage 4 (57.4), and refocusing - stage 6 (55.2). Third, the use of MBC was highest for orientation - level 1 (173 respondents, 63.8%), followed by non-use - level 0 (34, 12.5%), preparation - level 2 (29, 10.7%), mechanical - level 3 (15, 5.5%), refinement - level 5 (8, 3.0%), renewal - level 7 (8, 3.0%), routine - level 4 (3, 1.1%), and integration - level 6 (1, 0.4%). Many HE teachers had heard about MBC but were in the introductory level of not knowing what it is, and at the stage of being unconcerned or wanting to know about MBC. Of the 271 respondents, only 35 used metaverse in classes. Therefore, it is necessary to provide teacher training opportunities that provide basic information on the significance and implementation of MBC for HE teachers. Also, an MBC guideline book should be developed and distributed to HE teachers. Finally, a teacher community meeting is needed to share the expertise of teachers with substantial experience in using MBC.
Effect of the Ethical Consumption Tendency of Millennials and Members of Generation Z on the Purchase Intention of Social Enterprise Fashion Products
Authors: Lee Sang Kwon , Chung Ihn Hee , Cho Yun Jin
Published: August 2022

Generation MZ, a generic term for millennials and members of Generation Z, is an innovation-leading consumer group in the current market. This study aimed to examine the impact of the ethical consumption tendencies of millennials and Generation Z on the purchase intention of social enterprise fashion products. Data were collected from Generation MZ (15-40 years old) by quota sampling based on the demographic variables of gender, age, and region, respectively. Eight hundred responses were analyzed by descriptive statistics, factor analysis, t-test, and regressions using SPSS software. Three value factors (egoistic, altruistic, and biospheric) and three ethical consumption tendency factors (resource saving tendency, eco-friendly tendency, and consciousness of corporate responsibility) were determined by factor analyses. The results confirmed that women, who showed a higher ethical consumption tendency in all three factors, were more altruistic and biospheric than men. Furthermore, women portrayed a more favorable attitude and purchase intention towards fashion products of social enterprises. The results demonstrated that members of Generation Z were more altruistic and biospheric than millennials. Additionally, the attitude, purchase intention, and willingness to pay premium prices were higher in Generation Z members. It was confirmed that higher biospheric values correlated with greater values for the three ethical consumption tendency factors. The altruistic value affected both the resource saving tendency and eco-friendly trend, while the egoistic value had an effect on the resource saving tendency. Both attitude and purchase intention were positively influenced by all three of the ethical consumption tendency factors, and affected the willingness to pay premium prices. This was subsequently influenced by the resource saving tendency and consciousness of corporate responsibility. The results of this study contribute to understanding Generation MZ as a consumer group, and the establishment of marketing strategies for fashion companies.
Current status and evolution of microsurgical tongue reconstructions, part I
Authors: Choi Jong-Woo , Alshomer Feras , Kim Young-Chul
Published: August 2022

Reconstructive surgery in the management of head and neck cancer has evolved to include structure-specific approaches in which organ-specific treatment algorithms help optimize outcomes. Tongue cancer management and reconstruction are surgical challenges for which well-executed reconstructive plans should be completed promptly to avoid delaying any subsequently planned oncologic treatment. Crucial considerations in tongue cancer resection are the significant functional morbidity associated with surgical defects, particularly in terms of speech and swallowing, and the consequent negative impact on patients’ quality of life. With the evolution of microsurgical techniques and the development of the perforator flap concept, flap options can be tailored to the characteristics of various tongue defects. This has allowed the implementation of pliable flaps that can help restore tongue mobility and yield subsequent functional outcomes. Using an evolutional framework, we present this series of reviews related to tongue reconstruction. The first part of the review summarizes flap options and flap-related factors, such as volume and tissue characteristics. Related functional aspects are also presented, including tongue mobility, speech, and swallowing, as well as ways to evaluate and optimize these outcomes.
Cranioplasty and temporal hollowing correction with a three-dimensional printed bioresorbable mesh and double vertical suture anchor muscle sling: a case report
Authors: Choi Jae Hyeok , Roh Tai Suk , Lee Won Jai , Baek Wooyeol
Published: August 2022

Postoperative temporal hollowing is a common complication of craniotomy. Damage and repositioning of the temporalis muscle can lead to a depression in the temporal side of the skull with inferior bulging, worsening aesthetic outcomes. We report a case of cranioplasty with three-dimensional (3D) printed mesh involving an additional correction using a temporalis muscle sling to help address this problem. A 3D-printed bioabsorbable mesh was prepared based on preoperative facial computed tomography, and was fixed to the hollowed area for tissue augmentation. The temporalis muscle was elevated and fanned out to its original position, and a sling was attached to a screw that was fixed to the mesh. For reinforcement, an additional sling was attached to another screw fixed to the mesh 2–3 cm vertically above the first screw. Aesthetic results were confirmed immediately after surgery and later during outpatient follow-up. Both depression and lateral bulging were resolved, and there was no delayed drooping of the temporalis muscle on 6-month follow-up. There were no complications, and the patient was satisfied with the appearance. This is a simple yet effective technique with a low risk of complications, and should be considered for postoperative temporal hollowing patients, especially those with severe lateral bulging.

When are People Considered “Ahead of Their Time”? Based on the Case Study of Janusz Korczak
Authors: Rosemarin Shoshana
Published: August 2022

Very rarely is one considered ahead of his/her time. Janusz Korczak has been described by so many as being such a person. His criticism of the educational system in his time served as a motivational force for his innovative pedagogy. His beliefs, techniques and methods have been echoed by experts in special education as well as in gifted education a few decades after his lifetime. The analysis of Korczak’s relevant criticism, as well as his unique ideas is chosen as a prototype for the question raised in the title. A short analysis of the work of Feurstein and Renzulli is provided, both of whom reflect the main principles of Korczak.
On Psychoses, Conspiracies, Creative Flow and the Absent-Mindedness of Genius: An Evolutionary Function-Dysfunction Taxonomy of the Multiple Subjective Realities of the Human Mind
Authors: Persson Roland S.
Published: August 2022

The significance of illusion as a positive force in everyday life has been underestimated in both societal discourse and in empirical science. The objective of this study is to provide a synthesis of many academic disciplines’ understanding of illusion and reality by proposing a taxonomy of functional and dysfunctional subjective realities as based on the assumption that the human mind is adaptive in an evolutionary sense and likely to be a quantum entanglement system. Assumptions and discussions needed to construct the taxonomy are generally based on empirical research drawing from evolutionary theory, neurology, biology, anthropology, psychology, psychiatry, physics and other disciplines. The purpose of the proposed taxonomy is heuristic, serving as a base for further studies drawing particular attention to the fact that, by evolutionary processes, Homo sapiens have been made dependent on multiple subjective realities where illusion and reality are not necessarily opposites. The article is concluded by discussing possible reasons for why illusions as a positive force in human behaviour has been neglected in comparison to the dysfunctions of the human mind of which research abound.

Authors: Brazzolotto Martina , Phelps Connie
Published: August 2022

Aligned with the 10 Global Principles for Professional Learning in Gifted Education (WCGTC, 2021), this exploratory study investigated the co-construction of inclusive differentiated instruction for a fourth grade gifted student with three general education teachers in a North Italy public education primary school using learning menus and learning contract strategies. The research questions examined responses of general education teachers toward (a) an identified gifted student, (b) inclusion practices in the primary classroom, and (c) co-constructed interdisciplinary curricula for a gifted student. Conducted during a six-week timeframe, the primary researcher conducted Pre- and Post-Intervention Focus Groups, established an instructional baseline, planned interdisciplinary activities in five academic subjects, suggested lesson extensions, and concluded with a Parent Interview. The primary researcher provided professional learning experiences in accordance with the Italian Ministry of Education ministerial law n. 562 (2019) that mandated inclusion of children with giftedness in the category of special education needs. Analysis of Pre- and Post-Intervention Focus Groups results indicated improved dispositions of teachers toward a gifted student in general education primary classrooms, development of inclusive classroom practices with guidance from a gifted education specialist, and documented competencies co-constructing interdisciplinary curricula integrated with 10 Global Principles for Professional Learning in Gifted Education.

Education for Meaning: What Is It and Why Do We Need It?
Authors: Karmon Amnon
Published: August 2022

The central assertion of the article is that the most important mission in the field of education today is to design a new, comprehensive educational concept for schools, without with schools are consigned to an “educational-pedagogical vacuum” that advances extraneous and alienating purposes. The analysis delineates the theoretical foundations and practical consequences of such a new concept called “Education for Meaning.” That concept addresses meaning in two senses: meaning as understanding the world and meaning as significance of and reason for living. The pattern of teaching and learning applied in the creative arts is presented as a pedagogical model upon which such an educational approach can be modeled. The article highlights the urgent educational need to initiate a dialogue that focuses on “big theories” of education in place of the prevailing educational discourse which has become superficial and crassly economy-focused.
Nueva simulación del control en el género aventura gráfica: el caso The Walking Dead
Authors: Martínez Kim
Published: August 2022

Objetivo: La sensación de control es una de las características más atractivas de los videojuegos y se consigue mediante la narrativa y la jugabilidad. Las aventuras gráficas tradicionalmente han ofrecido pocas opciones de control por sus limitadas interacciones. Sin embargo, este artículo estudia las nuevas características que ha desarrollado este género en su auge de la última década y que sí prometen este control.
Metodología: Este trabajo identifica los elementos dramáticos, las mecánicas jugables y el diseño estructural que ofrecen la sensación de control. Con este marco se analiza The Walking Dead (2012), la aventura gráfica que cambió e impulsó el género y cuya fórmula han adaptado posteriores juegos.
Resultados: El juego revela una estructura que se mantiene y repite a lo largo de toda la historia, generando una experiencia atractiva y una narrativa inmersiva. Se distinguen 3 tipos de jugabilidades: 1) la exploración e interacción libre del mundo virtual que ofrecen la inmersión en el videojuego; 2) los diálogos y acciones elegidos por el jugador que simulan el control narrativo; 3) las cinemáticas no interactivas que dan mayor profundidad a la historia mientras desvelan los efectos de las elecciones.
Limitaciones e implicaciones: No obstante, aunque la sensación de control está muy lograda, solo existe un posible final para este juego. El análisis sugiere que esta fórmula puede sugestionar el control, pero que el desarrollo narrativo real sigue tan limitado como en juegos anteriores de este género.
Contribución: La identificación de esta estructura en las aventuras gráficas permite analizar el control que ofrezcan futuros videojuegos. Su comparación con las posibilidades narrativas permitirá determinar si este género comienza a ofrecer un control real sobre su desarrollo.
COVID-19 onset reduced the sex ratio at birth in South Africa
Authors: Masukume Gwinyai , Ryan Margaret , Masukume Rumbidzai , Zammit Dorota , Grech Victor , Mapanga Witness
Published: August 2022

Background

The sex ratio at birth (defined as male/(male+female) live births) is anticipated to approximate 0.510 with a slight male excess. This ratio has been observed to decrease transiently around 3–5 months following sudden unexpected stressful events. We hypothesised that stress engendered by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic may have caused such a decrease in South Africa 3–5 months after March 2020 since in this month, South Africa reported its first COVID-19 case, death and nationwide lockdown restrictions were instituted.

Methods

We used publicly available, recorded monthly live birth data from Statistics South Africa. The most recent month for which data was available publicly was December 2020. We analysed live births for a 100-month period from September 2012 to December 2020, taking seasonality into account. Chi-squared tests were applied.

Results

Over this 100-month period, there were 8,151,364 live births. The lowest recorded monthly sex ratio at birth of 0.499 was in June 2020, 3 months after March 2020. This June was the only month during this period where the sex ratio inverted i.e., fewer male live births occurred. The predicted June 2020 ratio was 0.504. The observed June 2020 decrease was statistically significant p = 0.045.

Conclusions

The sex ratio at birth decreased and inverted in South Africa in June 2020, for the first time, during the most recent 100-month period. This decline occurred 3 months after the March 2020 onset of COVID-19 in South Africa. As June 2020 is within the critical window when population stressors are known to impact the sex ratio at birth, these findings suggest that the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic engendered population stress with notable effects on pregnancy and public health in South Africa. These findings have implications for future pandemic preparedness and social policy.

Authors: Soorya Raj Kumar , Sood Mangla , Dhiman Deepika
Published: August 2022

Introduction: Scrub typhus is transmitted by the bite of the larva (chigger) of a microscopic trombiculidae mite (Leptotrombidium) found in moist areas and vegetation, which serves as both vector and reservoir. Scrub typhus is an often neglected and misdiagnosed febrile illness; clinical suspicion is the only key to diagnosis. Aim: To study clinicolaboratory profile and outcome of serologically confirmed scrub typhus in children from sub Himalayan tribal district of India. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted in Department of Paediatrics at Government District Hospital, Chamba, Himachal Pradesh, India, from May 2019 to April 2020. Children upto 18 years admitted with positive Immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies for scrub typhus were enrolled. The observational data including detail history and examination, relevant laboratory investigation and treatment was analysed by Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 18.0 and Chi-square test with p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: There were total 55 patients with scrub typhus, mean age was 9.2 years, most common age group was 7-12 years, 51% were male. Fever was most common complaint, followed by vomiting (27.3%), abdomen pain (25.4%), respiratory (1.8%), and rash (9%). Clinical examination findings were generalised lymphadenopathy in 46 (83.6%) patients and splenomegaly in 29 (52.7%). Eight patients presented with respiratory signs and tachypnea at the time of admission. Eschar was present in only 3 (5.5%) patients. Sign of meningeal irritation was present in 4 (7.3% cases and low GCS score (below 9) observed in 7 (12.7%) patients. Eight patients required mechanical ventilatory support. Nineteen patients were prescribed doxycycline alone; while 34 were given both azithromycin and doxycycline. There were total five deaths; on multivariate logistic regression, respiratory complaint, need for mechanical ventilation, pain abdomen with liver damage, history of seizures and duration of fever more than 4 days before presentation to hospital were associated with adverse outcome. Conclusion: The prevalence of scrub typhus is considerably high during rainy season, and should be considered as a differential diagnosis of fever among children in this period regardless of the presence of an eschar. Immediate medical care, treatment with doxycycline with early defervescence of fever reduce mortality

Authors: Sharma Monika , Ninave Sanjot , Chandak Aruna , Chandak Vijay
Published: August 2022

Peripartum Cardiomyopathy (PPCM), is an uncommon form of heart failure that occurs during the last month of pregnancy or upto five months after delivery. In this condition, the heart chamber enlarges and the muscle weakens. This case report is about a 30- year-old primigravida,with oligohydramnios, at 32.3 weeks of gestation. She visited for a caesarean section, and was diagnosed with PPCM on the basis of clinical findings of growing fatigability, troubled breathing and severe dyspnoea and on echocardiography ejection fraction of 64% with mild mitral regurgitation, moderate dilated left ventricle, tricuspid regurgitation was found. These patients require vigilantanaesthetic intervention for management of painless labour and/or either vaginal or operative delivery. The basic haemodynamic goals should always be kept in mind for favorable maternal as well as foetal outcomewhile selecting the drug dose and mode of anaesthesia. Various studies showed thatboth general and regional anaesthesia can be used with comparable outcomes in PPCM patients undergoing caesarean section. The index patient, who needed a cesarean section, was managed with Combined Spinal-Epidural (CSE) anaesthesia, weighing the risk of increase mortality due to general anaesthesia.

Published: August 2022

Implementation-sensitive approaches to school mental health have been proposed as being responsive to the needs of the education system. We worked with a group of expert stakeholders to identify a wide range of characteristics of implementation-sensitive approaches. These statements (n = 50) were sorted into concepts by 20 participants. Participants also ranked the importance of each statement. Group concept mapping created a six-concept solution including (1) Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, (2) Implementation Informed from the Outset, (3) Intervention Characteristics, (4) Evidence, Theory, and Practice-Informed, (5) Authentic Stakeholder Engagement, and (6) Ongoing Learning and Sustainability. We subsequently conducted two focus groups to gather feedback and contextualize the clusters.

Published: August 2022

Aim: The study sought to examine the effect of customs documentation and procedures on Kenya’s agricultural and manufactured commodity exports to Uganda.

Place and duration of Study: The study was conducted at Busia and Malaba borders, on Kenyan side. The study took place between March and July, 2021.

Research Design: The study used transversal descriptive research design.         

Methodology: From the total population of 1860 Kenyan exporters to Uganda, a sample size of 329 respondents was chosen using Yamane’s sampling formula. Data was collected using questionnaires. Validity and reliability of research instruments was verified through the pilot study. The research adopted descriptive statistics analysis and inferential statistical analysis. For inferential statistics, correlation and multiple regression analysis were used. Descriptive statistics analysis was done using means, standard deviation, percentages and frequencies. Data presentation was done in graphs, tables and diagrams. The study conducted diagnostic tests for normality and multicollinearity. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.0 was used for data analysis.

Results: 280 questionnaires were completed, giving a response rate of 85.1%. The results indicated that time for customs documentation and procedures was (β2 = -0.352, P = .000<0.05). This meant that a one-unit rise in time for customs documentation and procedures would result in a 0.352-unit decrease in the agricultural and manufactured commodity export.

Conclusion: Time for customs documentation and procedures had a negative and significant effect on agricultural and manufactured commodity export. The study recommended on the governments of the two countries to harmonize standards expected on traded commodity and coordinate acquisition of commodity export documents.

The study aimed at exploring the influence of universities curricular toward graduate’s employment in Morogoro Municipality. Three universities and ten institutions within Morogoro Municipality were selected. The data was collected through interviews and focus group discussion to determine the current universities curricular and their influence on graduate’s employment. Validity of data collection was tested using a pilot study. Reliability was tested and a coefficient of 0.7 was realized, which was considered reliable. Qualitative data was coded thematically for easier narration. The study results reveal that, the current universities curricular prepare graduates for being employed only, although graduates are prepared for being employed in various public and private institutions, the study obtained that most of them are not employable because what they learned in universities and skills required in the labour market are two different things (mismatch of skills). Also they were prepared theoretical while employers prefer hiring graduates who are able to work practically.

Published: August 2022

Kodo millet is one of the underutilized lost crops that has renowned nutritional and climate resilient traits. As a gluten free nutricereal, it is now being consumed in a fashion similar to that of rice and several value-added products are arising in the market day by day. Hence, this study on variability and correlation in M4 mutants have been carried out to favor superior varietal development in kodo millet to sustain nutritional security in future. In this study, around 635 M4 mutants were evaluated during Kharif 2019 on Millet Breeding Station of Coimbatore (India), with thirteen morphological traits. Among all, high PCV and GCV values were observed in plant height, panicle length, flag leaf length, seeds per panicle, culm thickness and seed yield. This presented the presence of genetic variability in the population. The prospects of effective selection with high heritability and genetic advance were exhibited by plant height, panicle length, panicle branches, flag leaf length, flag leaf breadth, seeds per panicle, stomatal number, chlorophyll index, culm thickness and seed yield per plant due to the presence of additive gene action. The correlation among traits towards yield revealed the significant positive correlation of all traits except for culm thickness and the highest associated traits were seeds per panicle and number of panicle branches. Therefore, these traits could be further focused for selection and improvement of yield in successive generations and other kodo breeding programs.

Published: August 2022

Os estudos sobre a comunicação no contexto das organizações vêm incorporando novas perspectivas que vão além da linearidade transmissiva (SCROFERNEKER, 2008) e, aparentemente, consensual. Compreender que a realidade social é constituída por semelhanças e diferenças permite novos olhares sobre o processo de comunicação, considerando o valor do dissenso para as relações comunicacionais. A partir de pesquisa exploratória teórica buscamos (re)conectar a compreensão da alteridade (LÉVINAS, 1997) e da dissidência (GOMES, 2017) como abordagens que podem contribuir para a comunicação estratégica no contexto das organizações, compreendida aqui como o espaço integrado das interações dialógicas estrategicamente geridas e das interações dialógicas espontâneas (OLIVEIRA, 2016).

Acreditando que combater práticas racistas, xenofóbicas, homofóbicas e sexistas é um desafio ético-político para toda a sociedade e para o campo de pesquisa social, neste artigo temos como objetivo dar visibilidade a discursos de resistência que vêm se construindo desde a campanha eleitoral e eleição do atual presidente do Brasil, Jair Bolsonaro, como resposta aos discursos de ódio feitos contra os direitos humanos e, em especial, contra as minorias sociais. Nosso referencial teórico interdisciplinar orienta-se por uma perspectiva socioconstrucionista do discurso e das identidades sociais que têm no poder de intervenção da linguagem sua base analítica. A análise dos textos selecionados possibilitou reconhecer a formação de identidades interseccionais de gênero, raça e local de origem e de posicionamentos críticos de resistência a políticas de exclusão, utilizando para isso competências de um letramento midiático para a difusão de contradiscursos nas redes sociais on-line.

Este artigo apresenta comparações entre as estratégias comunicacionais mobilizadas em debates on-line e presenciais a respeito da descriminalização do aborto, a partir do aprimoramento da metodologia que visa verificar o papel da interação na formação de preferências e opiniões. Sob uma perspectiva ampliada da deliberação, que considera a conversação cotidiana essencial ao processo decisório, realizamos análises de conteúdo de dois corpora distintos: o primeiro corpus, on-line, é composto por 5.777 comentários no Facebook, YouTube e Twitter em discussões sobre o tema; o segundo, presencial, consiste na audiência pública convocada pelo Senado Federal para debater a Ação Direta de Inconstitucionalidade (ADI) 5.581, que assegura o direito ao aborto a gestantes infectadas com zika vírus. Os dados foram analisados a partir de 14 variáveis traçadas com base em Stromer-Galley (2007) que descrevem: tipo de pensamento; tema; forma; justificação da opinião; fonte da justificativa; estratégias retóricas; e recursos argumentativos. Foi possível identificar que, em cada corpus, homens falam mais do que mulheres, posicionando-se, nas conversações on-line, mais contrários à descriminalização. Também em ambos os corpora, pessoas que se posicionam favoravelmente apresentam argumentos estruturais, enquanto as contrárias utilizam falas relacionais ao tema. Nos dois ambientes, os indivíduos justificam posicionamentos calcados majoritariamente na experiência ou opinião pessoal, porém, quando o debate é intermediado pela internet, há maior uso de sarcasmo, analogias e insultos. Os resultados também permitiram delinear uma série de hipóteses a respeito desse tipo de conversação, que poderão ser verificadas em pesquisas futuras.
VOLTAR E RECOLHER O QUE FICOU PARA TRÁS:

Refletimos sobre as construções de sentido presentes na obra Black Is King, de Beyoncé, que ativam a ideia de uma África reimaginada e fabulada. Ao apresentar elementos positivos relacionados aos conceitos de negro e de negritude, o filme rompe com imagens de controle ocidentais sobre pessoas racializadas, mostrando-as de outras formas, como nas performances da gravidez e da maternidade presentes na produção. Em narrativa não-linear e pouco comum na chamada cultura mainstream, Black Is King resgata o passado em uma atitude como a do pássaro sankofa, que volta para buscar o que é seu. O filme se desenrola em imagens, canções e histórias que evocam uma visão do tempo em espiral, que volta e vem, reinventando um passado roubado e propondo, no presente, outros lugares e imaginários para corpos negros.
PARE DE NOS FILMAR! MOMENTOS DE NEGOCIAÇÃO EM MEIO ÀS IMAGENS COLONIAIS DA ÁFRICA?
Authors: Pereira Dieison Marconi
Published: August 2022

Movido por um arranjo entre crítica cinematográfica e reflexão teórica, este ensaio disserta sobre o filme Pare de nos filmar (Stop filming us, Joris Postema, 2020). O longa-metragem, coprodução dos Países Baixos com a República Democrática do Congo (RDC), acompanha o holandês Joris Postema em um exercício fílmico autorreflexivo: “como cineasta ocidental, cidadão nativo de um rico país europeu, sou capaz de usar uma outra lente que não seja a colonialista para filmar a África e os africanos? ” De saída, o ensaio fraciona uma pergunta vastamente utilizada pelo próprio diretor holandês: “posso filmar? ” Em seguida, reflete sobre as tensões entre narrativa única, estereótipo e discurso colonialista, apoiado especialmente nos estudos de Homi Bhabha (2013) e Stuart Hall (2016). No terceiro momento, o ensaio passeia pelas tensões entre estética e política da imagem (RANCIÈRE, 2018) e, por fim, aponta para um instante de negociação (BHABHA, 2013) que permite uma experiência espectatorial com o longa-metragem sem ceder a posições essencialistas.
A POTÊNCIA POLÍTICA DA RE-EXISTÊNCIA:

Published: August 2022

Centrada na articulação entre a figura materna e a ação política de mulheres/mães que atuam contra o assassinato de jovens negros, a capa da terceira edição impressa da Revista Afirmativa, examinada neste artigo, aciona um vínculo dialético entre vida e morte, contra o extermínio do povo preto. A ilustração, na materialidade de sua composição, constitui a potência de corpos femininos vivos no combate ao genocídio da juventude negra, subvertendo o discurso que a constitui como autora da violência. Investigamos como, deste modo, é conformada uma comunicabilidade que performa existências políticas capazes de tensionar a lógica policial do Estado moderno, deixando visíveis estruturas de sentimento que se sustentam numa ideia de coletivo para disputar outros modos de existir.
RAÇA: DIMENSÃO INTERSECCIONAL DAS VULNERABILIDADES DIGITAIS
Authors: Junqueira Antonio Hélio , Botelho-Francisco Rodrigo
Published: August 2022

Este artigo visa contribuir para o adensamento da compreensão, no âmbito do ciberespaço e da cibercultura, do fenômeno da superposição interseccional de marcadores sociais da diferença – concentrando-se especialmente na condição individual e social da raça – na conformação das vulnerabilidades digitais e das violências materiais e simbólicas delas decorrentes. Metodologicamente, adota-se a pesquisa bibliográfica com foco na análise crítica de obras e autores(as) que vêm, desde a década de 1990, discutindo o estabelecimento das conexões desses indicadores. Conclui-se por observar as abordagens interseccionais no entendimento dos abismos digitais que corroboram as representações de pessoas e coletivos negros, apontando para a necessidades e urgências das lutas em prol da superação da desumanização, do silenciamento, do não reconhecimento e do sofrimento social impostos aos sujeitos estigmatizados.

Published: August 2022

This study reviewed the applicability of AI-based models to predict flood water level and evaluate flood damage in small rivers with short arrival times. The Namyangju-si (Jingwan Bridge) watershed, where the most flood warnings have occurred, was selected as the target of study. Rainfall and water level data from 2008 to 2020 were collected for the watershed. A total of 40 rainfall events were identified when the water level was 1m or higher from June to September, corresponding to the flood season. Additionally, flood water level forecasting was performed using AI-based models such as deep neural network (DNN), long short term memory (LSTM), and storage function models. Predictive power evaluation revealed the DNN model displayed the lowest normalized root mean square error (NRMSE) with a value of 0.06. This study concludes that there are issues with the existing flood warning and heavy rain warning standards due to rainfall variability, correlation with the occurrence of damage caused by heavy rain, and the application of consistent standards nationwide. To solve this issue, the cause of flood damage was classified and the risk assessment criteria established by linking the water level and rainfall data. To develop an optimal flood damage classification prediction model based on the established criteria, two models were applied: XGBoost and random forest model. Evaluation of model predictive power revealed the F1-score for XGBoost was 0.92, indicating excellent predictive power. Based on the models presented herein, the flood damage assessment technique using the results of flood prediction can be used as basic data for disaster managers’ decision-making.
A Critical Review of the Introduction of the Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) in Korean Local Governments
Authors: Ann Changmo , Chung Jibum
Published: August 2022

The Korean government has introduced the Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) in public organizations. This plan can help maintain the core functions of public organizations in emergency situations. Based on this recognition, it became mandatory to introduce COOP in public organizations, including local governments, in 2017. However, many public institutions have experienced difficulties in introducing COOP. In this study, we focused on the reasons for such difficulties in local governments and suggested policy recommendations. We reviewed COOP applications in the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and conducted interviews with experts who participated in the process of building COOP within local governments. The results showed that the mismatch between other disaster preparation manuals and COOP and the absence of standard COOP plans for local governments constitute the main barriers. For a better and wider application of COOP, the Korean government should provide more practical standard guidelines based on damage estimation and coordination with existing other manuals. Based on the results, we present a Korean standard COOP for local governments using the scenario and checklist methods.
Analysis of the Evacuation Time based on the Desk Spacing Used by Internet Computer Gaming Facility Providers
Authors: Lee Hong Sang , Lee Jai Young , Kong Ha Sung
Published: August 2022

This study aims to measure changes in the evacuation time with respect to the desk spacing used by internet computer gaming facility providers using an evacuation simulation program and to analyze the results. Currently, the “Special Act on the Safety Management of Multi-Use Businesses” only regulates the width of the internal evacuation passage. There is no regulation on the width of the evacuation space as determined by the arrangement of furniture in internet computer gaming facilities. Considering this, the evacuation times for evacuation passage widths of 190, 210, 230, and 260 cm were compared and analyzed considering various variables of the facility space. The results show that there is a large difference in the evacuation time, ranging from 166.0 s to 154.0 s, as the passage width increases from the minimum to the maximum. With the increasing popularity of internet gaming facilities and considering the safety of the evacuees, it is necessary to draft regulations on the width of new evacuation spaces during the deployment of internet computer gaming facilities.
