Orígenes y Consolidación de la Investigación sobre la Mujer en México (1970-1990)
Authors: Castro Apreza Inés
Published: December 2024

Introducción. Este artículo analiza los orígenes de la investigación sobre la mujer en México a partir de las publicaciones de divulgación y el papel que jugaron en ello las feministas militantes organizadas, así como su consolidación gracias a los escritos de mujeres académicas en revistas científicas.  Objetivo: Analizar los orígenes de la investigación sobre la mujer en México en los años setenta, así como su proceso de consolidación en los ochenta, como un campo específico de producción de conocimiento en las ciencias sociales. Metodología. Se hace un análisis cualitativo de las publicaciones de divulgación en los años setenta y las revistas académicas disponibles en la web de los años ochenta; se identifica cuándo las mujeres empiezan a escribir sobre la temática,  primero a través de categorías como familia, matrimonio, y pronto con la enunciación clara de este sujeto de investigación recién descubierto, la mujer, las mujeres, el núcleo de este trabajo. Resultados y aportaciones. Se identifica que el movimiento de mujeres es crucial en tales orígenes, lo que se observa en las publicaciones de divulgación (revistas, boletines y periódicos); a su vez, la consolidación se da en la academia a través del impulso de procesos institucionales, en particular las publicaciones de mujeres en revistas científicas que dan cuenta de la diversidad de estudios posibles sobre este sujeto históricamente invisibilizado: las mujeres y las potencialidades como un campo específico de producción de conocimiento. En los años noventa cobra fuerza esta investigación bajo la perspectiva de género y, hoy por hoy, se revitaliza nuevamente como investigación feminista justo en el contexto de un nuevo auge de los movimientos de mujeres jóvenes en América Latina.
El cuerpo femenino negro como campo de batalla identitario: Girlhood, de Céline Sciamma
Authors: Rico Guastavino Ignacio Pablo
Published: December 2024

Introducción y Objetivo. En octubre de 2014 se estrena en Francia, su país de origen, la película Girlhood, de la realizadora y guionista Céline Sciamma. El tercer largometraje de la directora plantea un discurso, inusual en el paradigma euroamericano contemporáneo, a propósito de la capacidad y limitaciones de la mujer negra para afirmarse como sujeto de deseo, oponiéndose frontalmente al determinismo habitual en la producción cinematográfica actual. Metodología. El análisis fílmico y los estudios culturales, especialmente la teoría queer, sirven para aproximarse a las claves cinematográficas y filosóficas del filme. Resultados. A través de estrategias formales y estéticas, y sirviéndose tanto de las políticas de la identidad como de la teoría queer, Sciamma imagina a una heroína, Mariem, susceptible de desmontar las diferentes expectativas que su familia y la sociedad han depositado en ella. Conclusiones y Aportes. En términos de realización fílmica y montaje, el modo en que Sciamma decide filmar a Mariem en diferentes contextos de su vida sirve para cuestionar la genealogía de toda una historia de la representación negra femenina colonial y, a un mismo tiempo, para imaginar una política del cuerpo femenino negro en pantalla que rompe con el paradigma vigente en el cine contemporáneo.
De Artemisa a Artemisia. Representaciones de la amazona poderosa
Authors: Barceló Plana Alba , Ferrer Ventosa Roger
Published: December 2024

En las siguientes páginas se explora la representación de la mujer fuerte en el arte, quien, con actitud agresiva y armada, no duda en enfrentarse al hombre. Para establecer unos límites cronológicos y geográficos que acoten el estudio, se parte de la antigüedad grecorromana, pasando por la Edad Media, hasta llegar a la famosa obra de Judit y Holofernes de Artemisia Gentileschi. Se presenta, pues, un recorrido con distintos ejemplos que ilustran y configuran el discurso dentro de Europa occidental. Se pretende, por un lado, recoger las distintas mujeres —y también personificaciones con un fuerte carácter alegórico— que han sido figuradas como una femme forte, destacando sus atributos bélicos y poderosos. Por otro lado, en el recorrido también se establecen las variaciones y constantes de esta iconografía entre las distintas épocas, su vínculo con las fuentes textuales y la relación con la sociedad y el contexto del momento.

La guerra civil española y el exilio como “acontecimientos metafísicos”. El trauma estructural en la obra de María Zambrano
Authors: Pérez Baquero Rafael
Published: December 2024

El propósito del presente artículo es el de profundizar en la interpretación de la lectura zambraniana en torno a eventos de su tiempo como la guerra civil española y el posterior exilio republicano, explicitando la discontinuidades y desniveles etiológicos que subyacen a su obra filosófica. Tal y como han desarrollado diferentes exégetas de su pensamiento, las reflexiones de María Zambrano han transitado desde el plano histórico a la articulación de una lectura de los acontecimientos desde un entramado metafísico y teológico. A lo largo de este artículo nos focalizaremos en las claves histórico-conceptuales de dicha transición discursiva y proyectaremos sobre aquella las diferentes distinciones metodológicas elaboradas desde la teoría del trauma de Dominick LaCapra y, en particular, de su noción de “trauma estructural”. Desde esta perspectiva, arrojaremos luz en torno al trasfondo y a las implicaciones de la interpretación zambraniana de acontecimientos históricos desde un prisma metafísico.
¿Puede el liberalismo justificar las restricciones a la inmigración? Los argumentos de la libertad de asociación y el derecho a rechazar obligaciones no consentidas
Authors: Niño Arnaiz Borja
Published: December 2024

Existen numerosos argumentos presuntamente liberales contra la inmigración, pero la mayoría terminan apelando a otros valores como la nación, la democracia, la justicia social y la seguridad. El presente trabajo considera dos argumentos que apelan a valores genuinamente liberales (la libertad de asociación y el derecho a rechazar obligaciones no consentidas), y sostiene que ninguno de ellos es capaz de justificar las restricciones a la inmigración. El primero confunde al Estado con una asociación voluntaria, mientras que el segundo depende de una premisa implícita que contiene un razonamiento circular. En conclusión, siguiendo a Freiman e Hidalgo (2016), podemos tener “liberalismo o restricciones a la inmigración, pero no las dos”.
Discusiones simondonianas entre las tecnologías digitales y lo transindividual
Authors: Heredia Juan Manuel
Published: December 2024

En la última década se observa una recurrente rehabilitación de la filosofía de Gilbert Simondon para pensar el sentido y los desafíos de las tecnologías digitales para las sociales contemporáneas. En este marco, teniendo como eje las efectuaciones de la noción simondoniana de lo transindividual y la caracterización de las tecnologías digitales (Web 2.0, Big data y machine learning), el artículo reconstruye el campo problemático que establecen un conjunto de lecturas entre 2012 y 2016, particulariza sus operaciones teóricas y pondera sus distintas estrategias. En este sentido, tras introducir el debate entre Bernard Stiegler y Muriel Combes en la década de 1990, se analizan las interpretaciones de Mark Hansen, Antoinette Rouvroy y Thomas Berns, Stiegler y Simon Mills.
Experimental and Computational Studies of a Prototype Combustion Chamber for a Power Steam Boiler with a Vertical Precessing Vortex
Authors: Бойко Евгений , Семенов Иван , Лебедев Константин , Куличкин Алексей
Published: December 2024

Increasing the efficiency of using fossil fuels at thermal power plants is an urgent task. This problem arises most acutely during the operation of pulverized coal power boilers using flare fuel combustion technologies. The purpose of this work is an experimental and computational study and justification of the technology of low-temperature combustion of coal in a combustion chamber with a vertical precessing vortex and the creation of a prototype combustion chamber for a power steam boiler. To achieve this goal, a study of the process of two-stage coal combustion was carried out, when the first stage of coal combustion is carried out in a pre-furnace with a fluidized bed, and the after-combustion of the products of incomplete combustion of coal is carried out with gas illumination in an after-combustion chamber with a vertical precessing vortex. The relationship between the main design parameters of the combustion chamber and the main operating characteristics of the diffusion vortex has been determined. The most important results are: development and experimental validation of the parameters of the combustion chamber with a vertical precessing vortex; determination of optimal operating modes of the furnace when burning coal and combined combustion of coal and gas; creation of a prototype furnace for a power steam boiler with natural circulation, operating on Kansk-Achinsk coal. The significance of the results obtained lies in the possibility of their use in the design of new or modernization of existing power boilers in order to increase the efficiency, reliability and environmental safety of operation.
Control of Carbon Dioxide Bivalent Heat Pump on Heating of Buildings. Part II
Authors: Sit Mihail , Juravliov Anatolii , Фрид Семен , Timcenco Dmitrii , Denysova Alla
Published: December 2024

The control system of a bivalent heat pump (BHP), using as low potential heat (LPH) sources both the heat of the return water of the network and the heat of the outside air, is considered. The aim of the work is to determine the parameters of the thermodynamic cycle of the heat pump, which would ensure the operation of the heat pump at variable temperatures and flow rates of the re-frigerant in the load. The set goal is achieved by solving the following tasks: analysis of the methods of synthesis of systems at variable load, analysis of the operation of the system at random disturb-ances, development of the heat pump automatic control system (ACS). The main result of the work is: the scheme of the heat pump, which can work with variable pressures of the evaporator and the gas cooler, as well as the technical solution, in which the enthalpy difference at the evaporator remains constant regardless of the outside air temperatures Significance of the obtained results consists in crea-tion of the BTN scheme, which allows to provide both qualitative and qualitative-quantitative laws of regulation of thermal regime of a building at increase of SOR of a heat pump, thanks to rational choice of a temperature schedule of regulation. Local storage using electrochemical accumulators at the re-quired capacity would be very expensive and would make the entire installation unprofitable. The only reasonable solution is interaction with the grid, which requires, in addition to the technical means of interfacing, the presence of appropriate regulations governing the transfer of electricity generated by the local facility to the grid, especially if the generation will be carried out throughout the year. Keywords: bivalent heat pump scheme, automatic control, random disturbances, reliability, district heating, carbon dioxide.
Juridical liability for failure to fulfill the child’s education obligations
Authors: Renita Gheorghe
Published: December 2024

In the Republic of Moldova, for the non-fulfillment or improper fulfillment by the parents or by the persons who replace them of the maintenance, education and training obligations of the child, contraventional liability arises. In practice, such liability was also applied when the child committed acts of violence against another child while in the custody of the educational institution. In any case, the responsibility for the non-fulfillment or improper fulfillment of the educational obligations, when the fact is manifested by the problematic behaviour of the child at school, must be determined according to the cause of the behaviour. The liability of the parents or the persons who replace them must intervene as a last resort, that is, if other remedies are not able to achieve the intended goal.
AI and Multi-Agent Systems: Collaboration and Competition in Autonomous Environments
Authors: Kosaraju Deekshitha
Published: December 2024

Cutting edge technology in intelligence involves multi agent systems (MAS) which allow autonomous agents to interact in shared environments by either working together or competing to achieve common or individual goals. This study delves into the aspects of cooperation and rivalry in MAS and illustrates their application in practical situations, like autonomous vehicles, robot’s interactions, and financial settings. In addition to that we explore the obstacles like coordination, learning and communication that come up while creating MAS frameworks and how sophisticated algorithms like deep reinforcement learning help in running these agents. By tackling both competitive interactions within MAS our goal is to offer a thorough grasp of the possible uses and upcoming paths, in this area. Emerging technologies like OpenAIs agent models play a significant role in showcasing the changing landscape of MAS and its transformative effects on various industries, like healthcare and defense.

Character Identity, Struggles, and Resilience: Acting Exploration of Selected Monologues
Authors: D. K. A. Kyere-Owusu,
Published: December 2024

This article examines the portrayal of identity, struggles, and resilience through theatrical monologues, focusing on Sizwe Bansi is Dead by Athol Fugard and Fences by August Wilson. Both plays present socio-political and socio-cultural challenges faced by black individuals in apartheid South Africa and segregated America, respectively. Through detailed analysis of selected monologues, the study explores how acting techniques are employed to convey these themes and resonate with contemporary audiences. The findings reveal that the systemic discrimination, hardships, and resilience depicted in the monologues remain relevant today, as issues such as racial injustice and inequality continue to affect black communities globally. The analysis also highlights how acting can powerfully communicate these experiences, shaping audience perceptions and encouraging social reflection. The paper concludes that theatrical acting is a potent tool for social change, allowing actors to embody and reflect the struggles and triumphs of their communities. The study underscores the need for actors to immerse themselves fully in character roles to effectively convey these complex narratives. The recommendations include encouraging actors to deepen their training through rigorous script analysis, accent mastery, and exploration of diverse acting techniques. Additionally, it suggests that future studies should continue to explore the role of theatre in addressing identity and socio-political issues, with a focus on how contemporary performances can inspire social change and personal reflection.
Analyzing Abel Damina's Teaching on Tithing through the Lens of the Spiral of Silence Theory
Authors: K. J. Aruku, , I. P. Ogar, , J. Ikangkang, , A. Peter-Wagbara,
Published: December 2024

The practice of tithing has evolved over the years, with various theological leaders offering differing interpretations and approaches to its significance. This article examines the teachings of Dr. Abel Damina, a prominent figure in contemporary Christian evangelism, concerning the practice of tithing, which specifically advocates for appreciation of tithing over obligatory contributions in line with scriptural provisions. The concept of appreciation tithing stems from the idea that individuals should give joyfully, driven by gratitude rather than compulsion. To deepen the understanding of this paradigm, the Spiral of Silence Theory, developed by Elizabeth Noelle-Neumann, is utilized as a lens. According to this hypothesis, people are less inclined to voice their opinions when they believe they belong to a minority group, which might result in the suppression of different points of view. On the other hand, people feel more comfortable expressing when it is perceived the opinion is popular. By applying this theory, the article seeks to explore the implications of Damina's teachings within the larger discourse of Christian giving and the social dynamics that could influence a congregant's willingness to either embrace or challenge these ideas. The article concludes that societal constraints and community attitudes play a significant role in shaping the debate surrounding religious and other issues that are considered sacred and recommends among other things the encouragement and provisions for platforms for a robust discussion on issues of giving and other contentious Church doctrines for a better understanding and application for the good of society.

Effectiveness of Remote Yoga for the Global Population and Implications for Healthcare Integration: A Mixed-Method Global Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Gupta Sanjay , Kumari Sony , Vyas Nick , Padyal Anjum
Published: December 2024

Research on the effectiveness and implications of remote yoga for wellness and healthcare across global demographics remains insufficient, limiting its reliability for integration into healthcare interventions. This study explored the effectiveness and implications of remote yoga (teleyoga) delivery modalities compared to traditional in-person practices in the global population. Identifying gaps between traditional and contemporary practices is critical for gaining insights for optimising the integration of remote yoga delivery in healthcare. The study utilised a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative data from expert interviews with quantitative data from a cross-sectional survey. The qualitative segment focused on identifying gaps in the real-world implications of remote yoga delivery, and the quantitative segment used the Telehealth Usability Questionnaire to measure the participants’ experiences and impact. A survey of 1,767 participants, 801 from India and 966 from the United States revealed a positive overall experience with remote yoga. The reliability subscale exhibited a lower positive experience, whereas the other five subscales consistently indicated positive responses. However, significant demographic differences were observed between participants from India and the United States, with significantly higher scores in India. This indicates that the usability and effectiveness of remote yoga require further improvement. This study uniquely addresses several key gaps related to remote yoga delivery using a large sample, mixed-methods approach, and comparing Eastern and Western perspectives to comprehensively assess its usability, satisfaction, and adaptability across diverse demographics. The comparative analysis conducted in this study is essential for enhancing remote yoga's design, usability, and effectiveness and supporting its reliability and validity for integration into mainstream healthcare. Moreover, this study proposes an original framework, Knowledge, Acceptance, Practices, Experiences, and Results (KAPER) designed to introduce systematic delivery and assessment of remote yoga.
A Critical Review of Occupational Stress Literature
Authors: Aditi Kejriwal, Biju Roy
Published: December 2024

Occupational stress is an emerging issue for the management and stakeholders of organizations. It arises due to a mismatch of the capabilities, resources and needs of the worker with the requirements of the job. The effects of occupational stress not only adversely affect physically and psychologically of the employees but also enhance the cost for the organisations.
The present study analyzes the literature on occupational stress in terms of stated objectives, indices and scales for measurement of stress with a view to ascertain the gaps and trends in the studies of occupational stress.  80 research papers mostly of the last 15 years have been selected from the electronic database for the purpose of the analysis. The study concludes that the conceptualization of the stress phenomenon has not yet adequately matured. Further, the study also observes that organization-specific quantification of the cost of stress and expected benefits have been almost neglected. It also indicates that stress measurement scales are not yet attaining sufficient degree of accuracy and reliability. The study also observes that indices for stress measurement are far from being well-developed.
Reflections on the Declining Fertility Rate in France and Its Policy Implications: Focusing on the Family Policy Reforms of the Hollande Government in 2014
Authors:   Society for the Study of Family Policy, Sung Miai , Seon Yeonga
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the causes of France’s declining fertility rates and draws policy implications. In 2023,
the nubmer of births in Frace fell below 700,000, and the total fertility rate dropped to 1.68, the lowest
since World War II. Scholars attribute this decline to the 2014 family policy reforms implemented by President
Hollande, which included differential family allowance payments, reduction of PAJE (prestation d’accueil du
jeune enfant), abolition of CLCA (complement de libre choix d’activite), creation of PreParE (prestation partagée
d’education de l’enfant), and lowering the family coefficient benefit cap. These reforms reduced state support,
negatively impacting families' childbearing and childrearing decisions. Policy implications include ensuring
policy credibility, fostering a democratic and egalitarian social culture, and recognizing families' proactive
roles. The study suggests that policies should be implemented with long-term trust, prerequisites should be
reviewed to maintain system intent, and the perception of families as passive entities should be changed.
Future research should examine the government’s responses, fertility rate trends, and scholars' opinions over
a longer period.
Pragmatic Competence in Saudi EFL Learners: Challenges, Consequences, and Strategies for Overcoming Barriers
Authors: Al-Seghayer Khalid
Published: December 2024

This article critically explores the challenges Saudi learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) face in developing pragmatic competence. Despite the pivotal role pragmatic skills play in facilitating effective communication, Saudi EFL learners frequently struggle with the nuances of English pragmatics, leading to miscommunication and social misunderstandings. The article is organized around three key areas of inquiry: the factors contributing to these pragmatic difficulties, the broader consequences of inadequate pragmatic competence, and practical strategies for overcoming these challenges. Major contributing factors include limited exposure to authentic language usage, cultural divergences in communication styles, pragmatic transfer from Arabic to English, and an EFL pedagogy that prioritizes linguistic accuracy over pragmatic awareness. The repercussions of insufficient pragmatic competence extend beyond communication, affecting learners’ academic performance, professional prospects, and social integration. In response, the article advocates for the incorporation of explicit pragmatic instruction into the curriculum, the creation of opportunities for authentic communicative practice, and the inclusion of culturally relevant contexts to foster greater intercultural sensitivity. By equipping Saudi EFL learners to navigate the intricacies of English pragmatics more effectively, this study seeks to enhance their overall communicative proficiency and intercultural competence, while contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of pragmatic development in specific sociocultural contexts.

Authors: Lee Hakyoon , Jang Gyewon
Published: December 2024

Despite the increasing attention to the issue of language and identity among immigrant students, few studies have discussed heritage language (HL) use, social belonging, and identity construction of 1.5-generation students in relation to their complex migration experiences and social status. This 2-year sociolinguistic ethnographic research investigates how two 1.5-generation Korean-American college students make sense of self and HL practices in diverse social contexts. Qualitative data, including interviews and text message exchanges with family and friends, were collected to examine how the participants employed different cultural resources and linguistic capitals to construct their identities. The study reveals the students’ distinctive ways of understanding Koreanness, gaining access to the Korean community and peer groups, and developing ethnic identities and social belonging. It calls for more systematic and holistic approaches to supporting 1.5-generation students’ linguistic and cultural investment and understanding their cultural and social diversities.

Rasgos básicos de la evolución de la economía española desde la pandemia, en comparativa europea, tras las revisiones de la Contabilidad Nacional
Authors: Fernández José Luis , Moral-Benito Enrique , Urtasun Alberto
Published: December 2024

Motivación

Este artículo describe las revisiones de la Contabilidad Nacional Anual (CNA) y de la Contabilidad Nacional Trimestral (CNTR) publicadas en septiembre por el Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE), y analiza, hasta el segundo trimestre de 2024, la evolución durante los últimos años de la economía española en comparación con la de otros países europeos.

Ideas principales

•Las revisiones de la CNA y de la CNTR publicadas en septiembre por el INE elevaron en 1 punto porcentual (pp) el crecimiento acumulado del PIB en España entre el cuarto trimestre de 2019 y el segundo trimestre de 2024. Esta revisión se encuentra en línea con las de países como Francia e Italia, donde el crecimiento acumulado del PIB desde finales de 2019 también se revisó al alza en 1,3 pp y 0,8 pp, respectivamente. En Alemania, en cambio, la revisión fue de 0,1 pp a la baja.

•De este modo, en el segundo trimestre de 2024, el PIB en España se situó un 5,7 % por encima de su nivel previo a la pandemia, una brecha positiva mayor que la registrada en el conjunto de la Unión Económica y Monetaria (UEM), que no pasó del 4,2 %. En cualquier caso, este agregado para el área del euro enmascara una elevada heterogeneidad entre países y está muy influido por la debilidad registrada en Alemania, cuya brecha respecto a los niveles prepandemia es del 0,2 %. Esto contrasta con el mayor dinamismo observado en países como Grecia, Portugal e Italia, cuyos niveles de actividad se situaban en el segundo trimestre un 8,5 %, un 6,8 % y un 5,5 % por encima de sus niveles previos a la pandemia, respectivamente.
Архитектура U-Netдля подавления шума на изображениях с механизмами частотного и частотно-временного внимания
Authors: А.С. Коваленко
Published: December 2024

Задача подавления шума является одной из наиболее распространенных в области цифровой обработки изображений.Современные методы подавления шума основаны на применении U-Net-подобных глубоких сверточных сетей. Для улучшения качества подавления шума в эти архитектуры добавляют слои визуального внимания. Они позволяют выявлять пространственные области на изображении, имеющие важность для предсказания. С другой стороны, существуют подходы реализации слоев с частотным вниманием,основанным на выборе значащих частот из спектра Фурье. В работе предлагается подход для построения блока внимания, объединяющего методы визуального пространственного внимания и частотного внимания.

The noise reduction problem is one of the most common in the digital image processing field. State-of-the-art noise reduction techniques are based on the use of U-Net-like deep convolutional networks. To improve the quality of noise reduction, layers of visual attention are added to models. It provides possible to identify spatial regions in the image that are important for prediction. On the other hand, there are approaches to implementing frequency-aware layers based on selecting significant frequencies from the Fourier spectrum. This paper proposes an approach for constructing an attention block that combines the methods of visual spatial attention and frequency attention.
