A participação de estudantes no desporto escolar pode desempenhar um importante papel na formação na educação básica. No entanto, é preciso voltar os olhares para compreender processos mais sutis que ocorrem dentro de realidades mais amplas. E, é nesse sentido, que a pesquisa visa investigar a participação em treinamentos esportivos de equipes escolares questionando: “como o desporto escolar influencia na formação de meninas no que tange aos processos de construção do empoderamento feminino?” É sabido que o desporto escolar pode se configurar como uma ferramenta valiosa em diferentes aspectos, mas estaria entre esses aspectos a construção de personalidade femininas e empoderadas? Como objetivo principal desta pesquisa tem-se: investigar a influência da participação de meninas em equipes de desporto escolar no que tange aos processos de construção do empoderamento feminino. Na tentativa de responder à questão desta pesquisa e alcançar seu objetivo serão realizadas entrevistas com meninas participantes de projetos de desporto escolar em duas escolas públicas na cidade de São Mateus – ES. A base para construção do referencial teórico que comporá este estudo são as plataformas Scielo e Google Acadêmico, a partir das quais se trarão autores, ideias e conceitos que permitam dialogar sobre o tema construindo narrativas que confirmem ou confrontem os resultados das entrevistas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa aplicada, quanto a sua natureza, e de abordagem qualitativa.
Experience and Interpretation: A Question for Dewey's Aesthetics
Authors: Shusterman Richard
Published: February 2025

Experience and interpretation are two key topics of twentieth-century aesthetics that remain central today. Although aesthetic experience forms the core of John Dewey's Art as Experience, the book neglects the issue of interpretation. My essay explores this surprising lacuna in Dewey's aesthetic masterpiece. Dewey's pluralism, fallibilism, and critique of the quest for certainty should make the concept of interpretation very appealing, because fallibility and openness to plurality of perspectives are precisely what define the concept of interpretation and traditionally distinguish it from fact or truth. Dewey's neglect of interpretation in Art as Experience is even more puzzling when we recall that his early views on art and philosophy did not share this disregard but instead embraced the centrality of interpretation. My essay explores the possible reasons for this change of attitude, after demonstrating this change by comparing Dewey's dismissive view of interpretation in Art as Experience to his early essays where interpretation plays an important role.

Published: February 2025

The sustainable development of rural areas is a critical goal for many countries, and Vietnam is no exception. Ben Tre province, with its rich agricultural heritage, facing challenges in securing sustainable income for farmers who rely solely on farming. These difficulties have further been aggravated by the impacts of climate change, thus demanding alternative means of livelihood. In recent years, agritourism, which combines agricultural production with tourism functions has been introduced with the aim of promoting sustainable development and implementing the green development strategy of Ben Tre province. This approach is particularly suitable for the three districts of Chau Thanh, Mo Cay Nam and Thanh Phu. By associating economic, social, and environmental aspects of sustainability, agritourism represents an innovative and diversified strategy for rural areas. Developing agritourism is considered a promising solution to generate income, revitalize landscapes and contribute to social values for farmers. Therefore, agritourism could potentially create a sustainable and resilient economic future for the local community of Ben Tre province, thereby helping to preserve the cultural heritage and natural resources of the region. The present study explores the potential of agritourism as a tool for sustainable rural development in Ben Tre province and proposes strategies for its successful implementation

Yan Xishan's Rural Construction and Its Contemporary Implications
Authors: Wu Guojian
Published: February 2025

During the late Qing Dynasty and early Republican period, central and local governments, as well as various social classes, paid significant attention to rural construction in China. This initiative marked a major transformation of rural society, with many intellectuals regarding it as a crucial step in China's modernization. During this period, Shanxi warlord Yan Xishan personally oversaw rural construction to consolidate his rule. He clearly defined the objectives, plans, and measures for rural development in Shanxi and ensured their implementation, making Shanxi a model for local autonomy and rural construction in the early Republic of China. Studying Yan Xishan's rural construction ideology and practices not only provides insights into the historical process of China's modernization but also offers valuable reflections for contemporary socialist new rural construction.
Wage Bargaining and Inflation: Perception Thresholds in the Labor Market and the Impact on Distribution and Economic Development – Evidence From Two Behavioral Experiments
Authors: Conrad Christian A.
Published: February 2025

This paper examines the effects of inflation on both worker and employers wage bargaining on the labor market and the impact on distribution and economic development through two behavioral experiments. The findings of experiment A support the wage lag hypothesis, indicating that inflation alters the distribution, favoring companies while disadvantaging workers. Later workers then enforced higher wages, which overcompensated the expansionary effect, why expansive monetary policy which result in inflation is likely to be ineffective over the long term, detrimental and unfair. Experiment B explored how workers respond to inflation in wage demands and found that they do not act rationally. Instead, there were perception thresholds, showing that wage adjustments happen first disproportionally in reaction to inflation and then abrupt. This challenges the rationality assumption in DSGE-models.

Authors: Khan Sher Dil , Haider Usman , Kanwal Romina , Aslam Syeda Saba
Published: February 2025

With the demographic shift of Pakistan towards ageing population, fractures are increasing in this cohort at an alarming rate. Pakistani elderly are bearing some unique risk factors due to some specific environmental, socio-demographic, cultural and genetic susceptibilities. Objective: To explore risk factors specific for Pakistani elderly so that appropriate prevention strategies can be adapted by the officials. Methods: A comprehensive meta-analysis and systemic review was conducted across all studies done in Pakistan. Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) scored the quality of studies, while Funnel plots and Egger's regression tests were used to assess publication bias. Random effect model was used for statistical analysis. Results: A substantial combined effect, despite the variability among the studies, was noted. The exclusion of lower-quality studies had minimal impact on the overall effect size (OR = 1.25, 95% CI: 1.10–1.40) and heterogeneity (I² = 35% vs. I² = 37%), indicating robust findings across varying study quality. Funnel plot was relatively symmetric, indicating no substantial publication bias and consistency. The limited number of studies and narrow distribution indicated a homogeneous set of results with minimal variability. Conclusions: Risk factors identified included Vitamin D deficiency leading to increased incidence of osteoporosis. Alzheimer’s disease was found to be a much neglected but growing concern for increased fracture risk in this population. Pakistani women are at increased risk due to low bone mineral density, shorter hip axis length, cultural practices.

Представлен новый способ использования биспектрального анализа для обнаружения движущихся целей. Используется метод цепструма для улучшения обнаружения гармонических частот. Метод предполагает чтение файла и использование алгоритма, который находит нужные гармоники в биспектре, уменьшая шум. Такой целенаправленный подход облегчает отслеживание и понимание движущихся целей. Метод был протестирован в симуляциях и обнаружено, что он значительно улучшает обнаружение целей и частотное разрешение по сравнению с традиционными методами биспектрального анализа. Эта новая методика помогает более точно и эффективно отслеживать движущиеся цели, особенно в радиолокационных и гидролокационных системах, где очень важно точное отслеживание.
In signal processing and target detection, bispectral analysis is a powerful method for finding non-linear interactions and harmonic relationships in time series data. This paper introduces a new way to use bispectral analysis for moving targets. We use the cepstrum method to improve the detection of harmonic frequencies. Our method involves making a spectral mask that amplifies the desired harmonics within the bispectrum, reducing noise and other irrelevant signals. This focused approach makes it easier to track and understand moving targets. We tested our method in simulations and real-world scenarios and found that it significantly improves target detection and frequency resolution compared to traditional bispectral analysis methods. This new technique helps to monitor moving targets more accurately and efficiently, especially in radar and sonar systems, where precise target tracking and classification are crucial.

Forum Contributions: Why (Most) Sales of Digital Assets are Not Electronically Supplied Services
Authors: Barth Fabian
Published: February 2025

From virtual sofas to cryptoassets, the sale of things which exist in the virtual world only forms part of our modern life. In the VAT Committee’s 123rd Meeting, a delegation challenged the view that such sales can be classified as electronically supplied services (ESS) per se. This article argues that that objection was well-founded. This is because, on closer examination, human intervention is (often) at the core of what the seller supplies to the buyer when a digital asset is sold, not merely a minimal feature.
South Africa’s Chicken Wars
Authors: Brink Gustav
Published: February 2025

p class="MsoNormal"South Africa’s poultry
industry has been fighting a war on imports since 1999. The battles in this war
include the use of anti-dumping, significantly increased customs duties, SPS
measures in the form of full country-bans against outbreaks of highly
pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), and a free trade agreement safeguard measure
against imports from the European Union (EU). Anti-dumping duties against the
United States have been in place since 1999 and were recently extended to 2029,
while anti-dumping duties are also in place against imports from Brazil,
Denmark, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and the UK. Customs
duties on whole birds have been increased from 27% to 82%, and for frozen
bone-in portions from 18% to 62%. Once there is an HPAI outbreak in a country,
all imports from that country are banned without the application of
regionalism, and the ban sometimes remains in place as long as two years after
the outbreak has been brought under control. South Africa also imposed a free
trade agreement safeguard for four years on poultry imported from the EU. All
of these measures have combined to make poultry one of the most protected
industries in South Africa.o:p/o:p

A Systematic Literature Review on Mergers, Acquisitions, and Other Foreign Direct Investment by Chinese Firms in the EU
Authors: Buts Caroline , Wang Na , Jegers Marc
Published: February 2025

p class="MsoNormal"Over the past twenty years, Chinese investments in the EU have
significantly increased. Although such investments support the revival of the
economy, also several concerns have surfaced. These often relate to matters of
unfair competition and national security. This paper employs a PRISMA
methodology to systematically analyse the literature on mergers and
acquisitions (M&A) and other foreign direct investments (FDI) made by
Chinese companies in the EU and to present a neutral overview of the current
state of the art. Our research delves into: (1) the theoretical frameworks that
have been applied, (2) the motivations of Chinese companies to engage in
M&A and FDI in the EU, (3) the effects that have been studied, (4) which
types of Chinese firms engage in M&A and FDI in the EU, the role of
government support, the affected industries and timeframes, and (5) the
empirical methods and data. Our main conclusions point to the continued use of
Dunning’s Ownership, Localization, Internalization (OLI) and motivation
theories as the primary theoretical frameworks. Chinese companies seem mainly
driven by market access, growth, and supply chain opportunities, while also
political motives are extensively discussed. The literature reports substantial
financial support from the Chinese government as an enabling factor. Following
recent geopolitical changes, the EU is increasingly monitoring Chinese
investments in light of security, strategic autonomy and fair competition.o:p/o:p
Competition Law in Latin America and Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions: The Way Forward
Authors: Beneke Avila Francisco E.
Published: February 2025

The Latin American region is rich in minerals – such as lithium and copper – that are critical for the global transition to clean energy, is home to the largest rain forest in the world, and enjoys geographical advantages for the deployment of renewable energy technologies. The latter could provide the region with an opportunity to develop green hydrogen, an energy source with the potential to play a significant role in energy transitions of hard-to-abate industries such as steel production. The region has therefore a strategic importance in the global effort to achieve reduction targets of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions required for the goal to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius as established in the Paris Agreement. This paper provides an overview of the possible market power problems associated with the development of this potential, such as high concentration of mining and refining activities, as well as market power in food value chains that may be driving deforestation in the Amazon. The paper sketches antitrust enforcement interventions that do not require changing the prevailing goals and analytical framework of competition law enforcement as well as interventions that would require such a change, identifying areas where future research should be conducted in order to inform policy change.

Published: February 2025

O acúmulo de medicamentos nos domicílios é preocupante, tanto pelo ponto de vista de saúde pública, como pelo risco ambiental decorrente de seu frequente descarte inapropriado. Revisão bibliográfica na plataforma Google Acadêmico para identificar uma década de estudos sobre o descarte de fármacos. A destinação mais frequente é o lixo comum (60%), seguida pelo lançamento na pia (21%) e vaso sanitário (13%). E que apenas 6% depositam os medicamentos nos pontos de recolhimento, conforme a legislação nacional recentemente atualizada para estabelecer o sistema de logística reversa das porções não consumidas. A revisão revelou a necessidade de uma ampla campanha de divulgação das possibilidades e procedimentos de descarte correto de medicamentos com o intuito de reverter o cenário atual marcado pelos baixos índices de conscientização e destinação adequada. Ficou evidente que não basta ter uma legislação nova e moderna se sua aplicação é deficiente, e o cumprimento às leis não é fiscalizado. Neste sentido, este estudo contribui para popularização das boas práticas e alerta para necessidade de campanhas de divulgação e da criação de um sistema que permita contabilizar os volumes recolhidos e o cumprimento às normas.

Published: February 2025

The project proposes a machine learning-
based approach for detecting spam comments on

YouTube using Natural Language Processing (NLP)
algorithms. As user-generated content continues to grow
exponentially, spam comments pose a significant threat
to user experience and platform integrity. Leveraging a
labeled dataset of comments, the system employs various
NLP preprocessing techniques, including tokenization,
stop word removal, and stemming, to clean and prepare
the text data. Advanced feature extraction methods such

as Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-
IDF) and word embeddings are used to capture semantic

nuances in the comments. Machine learning classifiers
like Logistic Regression (LR), Support Vector Machines
(SVM), and Random Forest (RF) are then applied to
classify comments as spam or legitimate. Accuracy,
precision, recall, and F1-score are employed to determine
the models in order to ensure a good balance between
false positives and negatives. This research enhances
content moderation capabilities by filtering spam and
providing insights into spam trends, contributing to
improved online content management and a better user
experience on social media platforms.

The COVID-19 pandemic has radically transformed the teaching and learning process from in-class instruction to remote learning. This changing situation leads to barriers for EFL teachers in executing their teaching plans. Therefore, they should be able to deal with such challenges for instructional continuity. This study aimed to investigate the challenges that EFL teachers face, examine their adaptability to the conditions, and explore their strategies in implementing online education. Seven junior high school EFL teachers were purposefully recruited from public and private schools in a town in southwestern Central Java, Indonesia, to participate in this study. The data were elicited through interviews and analyzed using qualitative thematic analysis techniques. The study revealed that the challenges encountered by the EFL teachers were mainly internet connectivity issues, low classroom participation among students, poor motivation in task completion, unsupported devices, and limited infrastructure support. In response to these challenges, the EFL teachers modified their lesson plans, improved their competencies, and adapted the material. Furthermore, in dealing with the challenges, the teachers made special efforts: selecting a simple online learning platform, monitoring students’ learning processes, contextualizing the material to daily life, providing intensive feedback, and collaborating with students’ parents. Recommendations for classroom practices, policymakers, and future research directly related to the findings of the current study are provided.
