Authors: Dokgöz Mehmet , Özcan B. Devrim
Published: December 2024

In this study, it was aimed to determine the polymorphism of Calpastatin gene (CAST) in Awassi and Akkaraman sheep which were reared in Osmaniye province within the scope of National Sheep Breeding Project in the Hand of the Public. The study was carried out on a total of 39 blood samples taken from 20 head Awassi sheep and 19 head Akkaraman sheep reared in 5 different farms. In the study in which PCR-RFLP method was used, 622 bp long PCR amplicons obtained from genomic DNA samples of Awassi and Akkaraman sheep breeds for CAST gene were digested with MspI restriction enzyme; Two bands of 336 and 286 bp in length for homozygous MM allele, a single band of 622 bp in length for homozygous NN allele and three bands of 622, 336 and 286 bp in length for heterozygous MN alleles were observed. The frequencies of M and N alleles in Akkaraman breed were 0.82 and 0.18, respectively, while the frequencies of M and N in Awassi breed were 0.75 and 0.25, respectively. The frequencies of MM, MN and NN genotypes were 0.60, 0.30 and 0.10, respectively. Contrary to Awassi breed, only MM and MN genotypes were observed in Akkaraman sheep and their frequencies were calculated as 0.63 and 0.37, respectively. While deviation in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was found to be insignificant in Akkaraman population, it was found to be significant in Awassi sheep. The association analysis revealed that there was a significant association (P
Violence, Alienation, Cruelty in Harold Pinter's Selected plays: A Social and Political Study
Authors: Ali Asaad Abderada
Published: December 2024

This paper aims to elucidate the themes of violence, alienation, loneliness, and cruelty found in Harold Pinter's selected plays. It makes an effort to offer a fresh interpretation of these ideas and tackle the subject of when cruelty, violence, estrangement, and loneliness are justified. Harold Pinter frequently uses violence in his plays to highlight control, power dynamics, and the more sinister sides of interpersonal interactions. Pinter is renowned for exploring conflict and tension in seemingly commonplace relationships in his works. Although physical violence can also occur, political and societal violence predominates in his plays' acts of cruelty. Pinter employs subtle and complex forms of cruelty and violence to both challenge and unnerve audiences, as well as highlight the darkest facets of human nature and society. They frequently provide freedom for the audience's interpretation and introspection since they are unclear. Pinter's plays clearly explore the issue of man's estrangement and loneliness as a result of the cruelty that permeates contemporary society. The main characters experience social isolation and loneliness. They avoid social situations and the outdoors out of a fear of uncertainty or antagonism. They stay alone in society and misunderstand one other, making it difficult for them to maintain meaningful relationships with others around them. Either by nature or as a consequence of external pressure, they are alienated and lonely. These people grow far and alone from the society they live in as a result of the experiences they have. Ultimately, The Caretaker depicts cruelty and alienation while The Birthday Party and One for the Road lay more focus on violence via the interactions between the individuals, illuminating the subtleties of power struggles, deceit, and exploitation in interpersonal relationships. Pinter examines how a variety of impulses, including insecurity, power, and survival, may lead to overt or covert acts of violence, estrangement, cruelty, and alienation. In order to accomplish this goal, the study will mostly rely on post-Marxist scholars such as Hannah Ardent and Erich Fromm. The article will use their ideas of power, subjugation, alienation, and violence to decode the intricate manipulation of violence, cruelty, alienation, and loneliness in these plays. The researcher attempts to expose and evaluate these issues socially and politically from the perspective of post-Marxist theorists.

Factors Influencing Student Motivation in Online Education: A Study of Secondary Schools in Kampala, Uganda During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Besigomwe Kenneth
Published: December 2024

This study explored the factors influencing student motivation in online education among 300 secondary school students in Kampala during the COVID-19 pandemic. The objectives of the study were to (i) assess the impact of interactive content, teacher feedback, and peer collaboration on student motivation, (ii) examine the relationships between these factors and student motivation, and (iii) evaluate the overall level of student motivation in online education. The results revealed significant positive correlations between interactive content (r = 0.65, p < 0.01), teacher feedback (r = 0.58, p < 0.01), and peer collaboration (r = 0.72, p < 0.01) with student motivation, supporting the principles of Self-Determination Theory (SDT). A multiple regression analysis showed that these factors collectively explained 56% of the variance in student motivation (R² = 0.56, F (3, 296) = 82.5, p < 0.001). Specifically, interactive content enhanced students' autonomy, teacher feedback boosted their competence, and peer collaboration fulfilled their need for relatedness, leading to higher motivation levels. The study consequently recommends increasing the use of interactive learning materials to enhance student autonomy, providing regular constructive feedback to boost competence, and promoting peer collaboration through virtual group projects to foster motivation. It also highlights the importance of ensuring equitable access to technology and internet connectivity, especially for low-income students, and suggests teacher training in effective online teaching strategies to better engage students. These measures aim to improve student motivation and academic performance in online learning environments.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SYMPTOMS SUCH AS BALANCE DISORDER, FEELING OF SWINGING, VERTIGO IN STUDENTS EXPERIENCED IN AN EARTHQUAKE AND PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA
Authors: AKALIN TURGAY
Published: December 2024

This study aims to determine the relationship between the complaints of university students who experienced the February 6, 2023 earthquake in Kahramanmaraş and surrounding provinces, such as dizziness, loss of balance, a sense of shaking, perceiving the environment as unsafe, dangerous and disturbing, and the psychological trauma caused by the earthquake.
366 university students who survived the February 6, 2023 earthquake in Kahramanmaraş and surrounding provinces in Turkey participated in the study. In the first part of the survey, students were asked about dizziness that did not occur before the earthquake but occurred after the earthquake, a feeling of shaking for less than 1 minute, loss of balance, feeling dizziness and loss of balance together, perceiving the environment as unsafe, dangerous and disturbing, and whether this situation caused them distress. In the second part of the survey, a total of 41 questions were asked to the student in 6 sub-dimensions of the ‘Attitude Scale to Determine the Psychological Status of Individuals Exposed to an Earthquake’ (Detachment from Life, Social Health, Psychological Change, Trauma Anxiety, Maturation, Avoidance).
The ‘’Standard Vector Machine’’ (VRM) was used for statistical studies in the study.
Findings:In the study, the feeling of shaking was found to be 98% high in all 6 psychological factors (detachment from life, social health, psychological change, trauma anxiety, maturation, avoidance). Similarly, finding the environment unsafe-dangerous-disturbing (92%) and feeling distressed by this situation (85%) were also found to be equally high in these 6 psychological factors. However, balance disorder (73%), dizziness (77%), dizziness and balance disorder together (73%) were found to be more common in Trauma Anxiety.
Conclusion: Trauma anxiety is closely related to the emergence of complaints that were not present before the earthquake but were felt after the earthquake (dizziness, loss of balance, feeling of shaking, the combination of dizziness and loss of balance, finding the environment unsafe-dangerous-disturbing and feeling distressed by this situation). Although 15 months have passed since the earthquake, the psychological trauma caused by the earthquake continues on the students. Health managers need to focus on this situation.

Authors: Laddi Mahantesh , Allagi Shridhar , Rachh Rashmi , Sambrekar Kuldeep , Athanikar Shrikant
Published: December 2024

The intelligent cyber security model for intrusion detection with federated machine learning is based on distributed learning protocols for processing data and training models while preserving data security and privacy. Data owners can use the federated machine learning architecture to create a standard intrusion detection system by transferring their data without revealing private information. Taking a global approach to fraud management, models based on predictive analysis and anomaly detection are developed using a federated learning model. By leveraging unsupervised machine learning algorithms, the system can find new and unconventional ways fraudsters make a move by recognizing intricate relationships within them. In addition, the system can develop an adaptive intrusion detection solution with current new profile downloads and model training. This model is a handy and effective mechanism culminating in distributed architectures and proper data processing protocols to develop radical improvements in security systems to counter cyberattacks. Also, the model seeks to enhance cyber security systems since federated learning combines the strength that comes with advances in data analysis techniques, which helps in the detection and response to cyberattacks.

Published: December 2024

This study focuses on exploring a combinatorial interpretation for the Perrin sequence, with the goal of making a meaningful contribution to the field of Mathematics education. In view of studies focused on the History of Mathematics containing the teaching of recurring numerical sequences present in textbooks, there is an interest in carrying out a combinatorial approach for a sequence regarded as akin to the Fibonacci numbers, which is the Perrin sequence. In this way, we have the definition of Perrin’s bracelets, investigating Perrin’s combinatorial model. Finally, combinatorial interpretations for the Perrin sequence extensions are discussed, generalizing the Perrin combinatorial model.
Scalable blockchain framework for trust management in the Internet of Vehicles for a secure intelligent transportation system
Authors: Albadri Nehad , Dekeyser Stijn
Published: December 2024

A vehicle connected to the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) communicates wirelessly with other vehicles, pedestrians, roadside units and sensors to improve driving comfort, traffic flow and road safety. The IoV poses significant security and privacy threats, posing a risk to human lives. Trust must be established among these potentially untrustworthy vehicles. In addition to scalability and single points of failure, current mechanisms face concerns such as sparsity, availability, consistency, robustness, privacy and efficiency. It is considered a promising solution to establish trust in IoV, because blockchain technology has already proven its success with cryptocurrencies and smart contracts. Decentralized trust management for vehicular networks is proposed in this paper using blockchains. We evaluate its efficiency
against malicious vehicles and compare its performance with three hybrid trust models through extensive simulations. Our model achieves over 97% trust level, surpassing existing models that fall below 90% in networks with 25% malicious vehicles.

ABU NASR AL-FARABI IN BIOBIBLIOGRAPHICAL SOURCES (BASED ON ARABIC-LANGUAGE DICTIONARIES)
Authors: Khavan Aidyngul , Mustafayeva Anar
Published: December 2024

The study of the life and work of medieval encyclopedists, in particular Abu Nasr al-Farabi, the creator of numerous treatises in Arabic, is a relevant, significant and interesting aspect of biobibliographical research. The biography of the “Second Teacher” (after Aristotle), according to many medieval sources, originates in 870 on the territory of modern Kazakhstan, namely in the city of Farab - the current name is Otyrar. This article studies medieval and modern biobibliographical dictionaries containing information about al-Farabi. Medieval dictionaries compiled by Ibn Nadim, Said Andalusi, Ibn Khallikan, Salah ad-Din al-Safadi are a valuable source containing information about some details from the life of al-Farabi, such as the place of his birth, the Transoxiana region and the city of Farab, the scholar’s later trips to various cities where he spent his scientific life (Baghdad, Damascus, Cairo, Harran, etc.), his contemporaries, mentors and works. Modern works dating back to the twentieth century, in turn, supplement information about the thinker, based on information from primary sources, including medieval manuscripts.
Confrontation of Ideas, Dialogue Culture and Modernity
Authors: Zeynalov Sholat , Zeynalli Nargiz
Published: December 2024

Научная работа посвящена анализу понятия культуры диалога на уровне знаковых категорий, составляющих ее содержание. Одной из причин противоречий в современной системе общественных отношений является характер развития и становления современной цивилизации. Главной движущей силой здесь становится борьба за доминирование, столкновение интересов за ресурсы. Череда кризисов и войн имеет различный характер, однако их решение сегодня приобретает исключительно значение. Одной из актуальных задач философии, видимо является поиск осмысления причин этих столкновений и путей их разрешения в виде «диалоговых площадок и дополнительных коммуникаций». Необходимо повернуться лицом к философии диалога и вернуться к диалоговому сознанию. Человечество может обеспечить свое существование лишь путем диалога, достижением единства различных подходов, интересов реальностей. Теоретики объясняют этот кризисный процесс самыми разными причинами, в том числе политическими, экономическими, социальными, демографическими, географическими и т.д. Хотя все это характеризуется как совокупность противоречий, возникающих из-за глобальных проблем, отсуствия согласованности между ними и региональным контекстом понимания их и разрешения. Следует отметить, что большинство этих проблем в целом приходится на гуманитарную сферу. Люди говорят о мире и безопасности, идеях сосуществования и единства, необходимых тенденциях взаимозависимости, однако конфронтация идей не прекращается и конфликты не утихают. Анализ показывает, что формирование новой культуры диалога в глобальном смысле требует своего решения. Эти проблемы являются одной из важнейших научных областей, которая нуждается в теоретическом исследовании.
THE PHENOMENON OF MYTH AND ITS FUNCTIONS IN THE SYSTEM OF SOCIAL RELATIONS
Authors: Ramazanova Aliya , Kabdollanova Aigerim
Published: December 2024

The article presents a theoretical analysis of the phenomenon of myth and the peculiarities of its functioning within the contemporary social sphere. The aim of the research is to discern the primary functions of modern myths and the regularities of their impact on social processes and relations. In order to determine the specific influences of myth on society, the authors explore the mythological characteristics of collective consciousness and systematically analyze the fundamental functions of myth.Acknowledging myth as a phenomenon inherent to social relations, the authors delineate a series of functions essential at both societal and individual levels. Herein lies the polyfunctional nature of myth. Myth, as a phenomenon, is multifaceted, complex, and constantly undergoing transformation, adapting its functions in accordance with the realities and demands of its epoch. All functions bear both positive and negative aspects, thus delineating the dualistic nature of myth.

Жалпы философия ғылымында «мәдениет философиясы» мен «философиялық мәдениетті» шатастыру, оларды синоним деп есептеу жағдаяттары тіпті философтардың арасында да кездесіп тұрады. Мәдениет философиясы философияның арнайы бір бөлімі ретінде «философиялық мәдениетке» қарағанда көпшілікке жақсырақ таныс, алайда екеуінің қызметтік-құрылымдық сапасы бір-бірінен ерекшеленеді.

What Science Knows and Does not Know About Islamic Radicalization Processes
Authors: Starodubrovskaya Irina , Issabayev Erzhan
Published: December 2024

Статья посвящена анализу теорий, объясняющих причины и протекание процессов радикализации и нашедших отражение в академических публикациях, в первую очередь в англоязычных источниках, в период с 1960х до 2020х годов, а также их взаимосвязи с мерами практической политики противодействия радикализации. Актуальность данной проблематики связана с сохраняющимися угрозами исламской и других направлений радикализации, в том числе в Центральной Азии, активизацией террористических группировок. Авторы дают классификацию существующих теоретических подходов, выделяя теорию глубинных корней терроризма как предтечу современных трактовок радикализации, упрощенные теории радикализации (идеология как единствен-ная причина, однонаправленность процесса, четкие стадии, описывающие их индикаторы) и более сложные теории радикализации (многообразие причин и радикализационных траекторий, неочевидность связи идеологии с насилием, роль групповой динамики и структурных характеристик социума). Основной акцент в статье делается на центральном противоречии теории и практики в данной сфере. С одной стороны, теоретические разработки тяготеют к все более многоаспектному охвату процессов радикализации, отказу от упрощенных подходов, построению сложных моделей. С другой стороны, практика требует простых и понятных алгоритмов, четких и однозначных причинно-следственных связей, которые можно отразить в индикаторах и конкретных мерах. По мнению авторов, это противоречие приводит к тому, что в практической политике до сих пор популярны упрощенные схемы объяснения радикализации, неоднократно опровергнутые в академических дискуссиях. И это снижает эффективность мер борьбы с данным явлением. Кризисное состояние радикализационных теорий и практик усиливается проблемами, связанными со сложностью доступа к полной и достоверной информации о происходящем в радикальной среде и высокой идеологизированностью данной проблематики. Все это ведет к тому, что задача эффективного противодействия радикализации до сих пор далека от своего решения.
Party System in the New Kazakhstan: Unused Opportunities for Development
Authors: Ismagambetov Talgat , Buluktaev Yuri , Kaldybay Aiganym
Published: December 2024

Партийная система Казахстана была выстроена по замыслу «без правых и левых» Н. Назарбаева, высказанном в начале 1990-х г. в одноименной книге. Особенностью существующих в стране партий являлось то, что лица разных идеологических воззрений (либеральные, исламистские, националистические, экологические, традиционалистские) могли быть как в провластной, так и в оппозиционной партии. В Казахстане «без правых и левых» произошла атрофия идеологической функции партий. После января 2022 г., несмотря на оживление политической жизни, конструктивный потенциал Нового Казахстана недостаточно выражен, нет отбора из нескольких альтернатив, ибо в парламенте не имеют места межпартийные дискуссии по поводу принципов внутренней и внешней политики, в том числе уровня налогов, оплаты труда. Причина состоит в том, что не произошла активизация партий. Цель статьи состоит в развитии отечественной многопартийности. Применен ряд методов, в первую очередь исторический и логический.
Why the Darwinian Theory of Evolution Through Natural Selection is Relevant to Today’s Moral Issues
Authors: Ruse Michael
Published: December 2024

Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution through natural selection, explaining geographical distributions and the fossil record, is rightly regarded as one of the greatest scientific theories of all time, taking its place alongside Isaac Newton’s theory of gravitational attraction, explaining the Copernican heliocentric world picture. There is, however, a tendency to think that Darwin’s work is finished. It belongs to Victorian history rather than as something that has crucial social relevance today. This essay shows how mistaken it is to make this assumption. Through a series of case histories―foreigners, class, sexual orientation, and women―Darwinism is shown to be as vibrant and important today as it was when Darwin was young. It is an essential tool for analyzing and solving some of the biggest and most pressing social issues facing us in the twenty-first century.
Urban Regional Disparity and Technical Efficiency of the Tunisian Public Transport System: A Bootstrapped DEA Meta-Frontier
Authors: Ali Mahdhi
Published: December 2024

The main objective of this study is to assess the technical efficiency of 12 public regional transport companies (RTCs) in Tunisia from 2008 to 2018, considering urban regional disparities. We employ a bootstrapped meta-frontier (MFB) approach and introduce a unified model that considers the interplay between demand and supply, to calculate various scores. The major findings reveal that RTCs in all regions exhibit overall inefficiency, as indicated by their overall meta-efficiency (MTE) scores falling below 1.0. Notably, RTCs in coastal regions stand out with the highest average score of 0.636, followed closely by RTCs in southern regions at 0.575, while inland RTCs score lower at 0.401. The MTE, a composite measure encompassing both Regional Technical Efficiency (RTE) and Technology Gap (TGP), indicates that the overall inefficiency in coastal and southern RTCs is mainly attributed to the TGP scores, whereas in inland RTCs, TGP and RTE scores have an equal impact.
The potential of VR-AI-assisted personalized adaptive simulations for teacher training
Authors: Kaplan-Rakowski Regina , Schnellbögl Claudia
Published: December 2024

The combination of virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies presents novel opportunities in teacher training. Pre-service teachers (PSTs) often face challenges in transitioning from theoretical knowledge to practical application in real classrooms. Integrating VR with AI to create immersive and adaptive simulations can bridge this gap by offering personalized practice environments that can be engaging and pedagogically effective. The purpose of this paper is to outline the potential of VR-AI–assisted simulations for PSTs’ training in general, with a specific focus on their use in foreign language education. The paper discusses examples of currently available VR applications, explains how AI can provide interactivity and immediate feedback to PSTs, and how the integration of AI in VR classroom simulations can be used to train PSTs of foreign language education. We highlight both benefits and existing challenges of VR-AI–assisted simulations to foster a constructive discussion on shaping new avenues in PSTs’ training.
Enhancing gender-neutral language awareness in Japanese English learners: A data-driven learning approach
Authors: Satake Yoshiho
Published: December 2024

This study examines the effectiveness of a data-driven learning (DDL) approach in enhancing the understanding and use of gender-neutral language among Japanese university students learning English. Twelve undergraduate economics majors who are intermediate English learners participated in this study. The study focused on 12 English terms traditionally characterized by gender-specific usage but increasingly replaced with gender-neutral alternatives. Using the LECS Online corpus, the participants engaged in hands-on, investigative tasks, analyzing and comparing gender-specific and gender-neutral terms. Pre- and post-tests were conducted to assess the effectiveness of the DDL approach. The results revealed a significant reduction in gender-specific expressions and incorrect word choices, and an increase in the use of gender-neutral terms. These findings highlight the importance of active engagement and practical application in language learning. Reflective writing indicated that, while students recognized the shift toward a gender-neutral language, ingrained stereotypes and traditional language habits continued to influence their perceptions. This suggests that linguistic changes alone may be insufficient to alter deep-seated gender biases; a comprehensive educational approach that includes historical and social context is necessary. Incorporating DDL strategies into language curricula can foster a deeper understanding of contemporary language use and its social implications, promoting gender inclusivity and linguistic equity.
Cross-cultural peer feedback in academic writing tasks: A virtual exchange connecting students in Sri Lanka with students in Spain
Authors: Manegre Marni , Puig-García Silvia , Udeshinee W. A. Piyumi
Published: December 2024

Cross-cultural peer feedback has been shown to increase intercultural competence (IC) and cultural knowledge (Sarangapani et al., 2018), in addition to improving writing skills and language accuracy in a foreign language. This study investigates cross-cultural peer feedback in academic written assignments as part of a virtual exchange. Students in Spain (n = 39) were paired with students in Sri Lanka (n = 60) to analyze and provide corrective feedback using English as a lingua franca. The students were required to complete three writing tasks. Each of the tasks was peer-reviewed by the students’ assigned group mates in the other country to correct the grammar and provide feedback before the final version was submitted for grading. The results show that participation in this project improved English editing and writing skills. The participants felt that their IC and foreign culture skills increased and generally felt that they would recommend this project to other peers.
Exploring the interplay between WhatsApp and reflective journals in telecollaborative projects
Authors: Madden Oneil Nathaniel , Robinson Tyane
Published: December 2024

Telecollaboration has become a growing pedagogical tool in language science, as it facilitates the development of linguistic, cultural, and intercultural communicative competencies. Many telecollaborative projects have incorporated videoconferencing platforms such as Skype, Snapchat, and Zoom, among others for cross-cultural communication; however, there is now a growing interest into the affordances of mobile instant messaging platform WhatsApp for telecollaborative purposes. Notwithstanding, the data is currently limited. Furthermore, while reflection is a common aspect of telecollaboration, very limited studies have assessed the interplay between WhatsApp and the systematic completion of learning journals. This present study aims to bridge the gap by reporting on phase 3 of ClerKing – a 10-week telecollaborative project which occurred between Applied Foreign Languages students of English from Clermont Auvergne University, France and Modern Languages students of French from the University of the West Indies, Mona, Jamaica. Data was collected via pre and post-project questionnaires and learning and reflective journals and analysed through exploratory context analysis. Preliminary findings suggest that WhatsApp is ideal for telecollaboration because of its features, accessibility, and practicality. The platform primarily facilitates the development of vocabulary and grammar, and it helps students to document potential learning sequences in their learning journals, which promotes metacognition.

La investigación pretendió identificar tales asociaciones en estudiantes de Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia de la Universidad de la Amazonía, se utilizó un enfoque descriptivo mixto no experimental. Para el levantamiento de datos se utilizó una encuesta previamente validada, y los promedios académicos de los encuestados. La información fue organizada, sistematizada y analizada mediante estadística descriptiva para la identificación de porcentajes, medias y modas para hora de sueño y alimentación como factor asociado, y su relación con el rendimiento académico. Se identificó que los estudiantes del programa duermen dentro del límite inferior del recomendado por la declaración conjunta de la Academia Estadounidense de Medicina del Sueño y la Sociedad de Investigación del Sueño, pero su rendimiento académico se ubica por encima del mínimo aprobatorio establecido por la institución, aunque por debajo de la media institucional obtenida para las pruebas saber pro, razón por la que no se identifica una relación directa positiva entre las horas de sueño y el rendimiento en los estudiantes.
Invasão ou reivindicação?: um estudo sobre a narrativa da "invasão" indígena sob a Análise Crítica do Discurso
Authors: Vieira Ana Cecilya Porto , Santos Raissa Nascimento dos
Published: December 2024

Este trabalho visa analisar formas de nomeação em uma notícia do jornal Correio do Estado, intitulada “Família que vivia em fazenda invadida por indígenas há 1 ano passa por dificuldades”, com foco na Análise Crítica do Discurso (ACD) para compreendermos como diferentes discursos, políticas e narrativas influenciam na percepção e no tratamento dado aos povos indígenas e aos seus direitos territoriais. Esta pesquisa, de caráter qualitativo (Gil, 2002), ancora-se em Van Dijk (2005) com seus estudos sobre discurso e gênero textual, em Vieira e Macedo (2018) e Resende e Ramalho (2006) por suas contribuições sobre a ACD e também em Quijano (2006), com base em seu estudo sobre o “movimento indígena”. A partir da abordagem da ACD, torna-se possível iluminar as complexidades das questões de demarcação das terras indígenas, destacando as relações de poder e ideologia envolvidas e identificando caminhos para uma transformação social e política.
Revisitando a Revolução de 1817
Authors: Malerba Jurandir
Published: December 2024

Neste artigo, ressalta-se o caráter imperativo da concepção do fato histórico da Revolução de 1817 como fato de opinião, desde a documentação produzida no e pelo próprio evento até as várias interpretações inscritas nas narrativas produzidas pela historiografia, do século XIX até hoje. Com essa abordagem, pretende-se sublinhar o aspecto teórico fundamental de que o adjetivo “histórico” aposto ao substantivo “fato” refere-se não somente à sua potência de inscrição na memória coletiva como fato comemorável, mas “histórico” também no sentido de resultado de um embate de interpretações e usos do passado levados a efeito ao longo do tempo por sucessivas gerações. Nosso argumento é o de que, conscientes disso ou não, as interpretações correntes de Dezessete são construídas a partir de duas posições político-ideológicas antagônicas ante o movimento fundadas já no século XIX: a dos apologistas e a dos contrários ao movimento.

Los parámetros se obtuvieron en una unidadde producción particular, se seleccionaron 15 ovinos encastados con Suffolk (41.11±3.88 kg), loscuales fueron desparasitados, vitaminados, inmunizados, aretados y distribuidos aleatoriamenteen tres tratamientos: una dieta testigo y dos tratamientos con la sustitución parcial de fuentesconvencionales de proteína (canola y pasta de soya) por 15 % de desecho de haba. El experimentotuvo una duración de 30 días, se midió: peso inicial, peso final, consumo de alimento por día yconsumo total; ganancia de peso, conversión y eficiencia alimenticia. Para el análisis de datos, se utilizó la técnica de medidas repetidas mediante el paquete estadístico SAS(MR). En la gananciade peso no hubo diferencias por tratamiento, pero hubo diferencia en la conversión y eficienciaalimenticia, mostrando similares resultados las dietas Canola-Soya y Haba-Soya. Por lo anterior eldesecho de haba se puede utilizar en sustitución parcial de fuentes convencionales de proteínaen la dieta de ovinos. Sin embargo, es deseable realizar pruebas de digestibilidad a la proteína delhaba, medir el contenido de factores anti nutricionales, y evaluar porcentajes de uso.

La tecnología de forraje verde hidropónico (FVH) es una alternativa para la alimentación del ganado en periodosde sequía, ya que se produce en condiciones controladas en un periodo corto de tiempo. En condiciones desecano, el FVH se produce con variedades de maíces de color y se emplea fertilización, con esto se puedemejorar su calidad nutritiva además de apreciar su contenido de antocianinas. Este trabajo tuvo como objetivoevaluar dos factores y su interacción. El factor A: cuatro variedades y el factor B: dos dosis de fertilización enla producción de forraje verde hidropónico. Se evaluaron variables productivas, bromatológicas y contenidode antocianinas. Se encontró que la fertilización del FVH de maíz púrpura, tuvo efecto en la longitud del tallo,pero no en la longitud de la hoja (P ≥ 0.05). El grano conformó el mayor peso de la biomasa, y los FVH de losmaíces moradillo y púrpura, presentaron mayor peso en el componente tallo con hojas y en raíz. La proporcióntallo con hojas, grano y raíz fue 2:7:1. El FVH basado en maíz púrpura con fertilización superó al resto delos tratamientos (P ≤ 0.05) en rendimiento de biomasa por kilogramo de maíz. El efecto de la aplicación defertilización en la calidad de los FVH se reflejó en casi todas las variables bromatológicas y existió presencia deantocianinas en los FVH de maíces moradillo y púrpura en cantidades de118.5 y 305.0 mg·kg-1.
Tendencia de las horas frío en el noroeste del Estado de México

El clima determina las zonas apropiadas para la agricultura; la luz, la temperatura y la humedad son los tres componentes más importantes. El cambio climático representa uno de los principales problemas que enfrenta la agricultura debido a las alteraciones que causa en el clima. La temperatura en México se ha incrementado de manera perceptible; este incremento trae consigo modificaciones en variables agroclimáticas, como la acumulación de frío en el periodo invernal. La acumulación de horas frío (HF) es muy importante a la hora de tomar decisiones sobre las especies que se pueden cultivar asumiendo riesgos mínimos. La tendencia de cambio climático para México indica un incremento general en la temperatura máxima y una disminución en la precipitación. El objetivo fue analizar el comportamiento de las horas frío en la zona norte del Estado de México, de 1979 al 2000 y un escenario futuro a 2041. Los resultados indican que las zonas de mayor acumulación de HF se extendieron hacia el noroeste de la zona, y se proyecta que las HF disminuirán en 40%, que las zonas de mayor acumulación se concentrarán al sur de la zona norte del Estado de México, además, que la temperatura media aumentará en 2º C.

Las mujeres de los pueblos originarios participan en la agricultura desde temprana edad, realizan actividades relevantes que contribuyen con la continuidad de la agricultura campesina, es por ello por lo que el objetivo de este artículo fue conocer la perspectiva de las mujeres de San Pedro Ñumi, localidad originaria de Oaxaca, México, al respecto de su participación en la agricultura y analizar la definición teórica de mujeres campesinas. Se indagóacerca del significado que tiene la tierra, la toma de decisiones, su perspectiva sobre el acceso a la tierra y los problemas que enfrenta esta actividad. Se utilizaron la Economía Campesina y la Ecología Política Feminista para estructurar las entrevistas y analizar las respuestas. Lametodología fue cualitativa, se aplicaron veinticinco entrevistas que se analizaron con el método de codificación axial y se procesaron con el software Atlas.ti 24. Se concluye que, para las mujeres, la agricultura es una actividad muy significativa porque de ahí provienen sus alimentos, la mayoría no dejaría de realizar esta actividad y enseñan a sus hijos desde pequeños a trabajar la tierra, por ello, conceptualmente se les puede reconocer como mujerescampesinas, aun cuando ellas no detenten la posesión de la tierra.

«Hampa. Estampas de la mala vida» (1923) de José del Río Sainz: bohemia y vanguardia
Authors: Romero López Dolores
Published: December 2024

Este artículo analiza Hampa. Estampas de la mala vida (1923) de José del Río Sainz, centrándose en cómo el poeta refleja la prostitución con una mirada compasiva y a la vez crítica, heredera del costumbrismo y naturalismo decimonónicos, y la proyecta en el contexto literario y artístico de la Vanguardia española de losaños 20. El diálogo entre bohemia y Modernidad se hace patente en este libro porque en él se entrecruzan dos lenguajes complementarios: el de la poesía de José del Río Sainz y las ilustraciones de Pancho Cossío.
HUBUNGAN ILMU PENGETAHUAN DAN TEKNOLOGI TERHADAP PENDIDIKAN ISLAM DI ABAD 20
Authors: PRATAMA TEDDY
Published: December 2024

The development of science and technology is greatly influenced by various dominant factors called science. In the golden age of Islam, science and technology developed in the Islamic kingdoms. However, in the end, Muslims' enthusiasm for science weakened due to several reasons, resulting in backwardness of Muslims in various areas of life. This research aims to analytically describe the implications of the relationship between science and technology on Islamic education in the 20th century. The method used in this research is qualitative with an approach referring to data analysis from various library sources in the form of secondary data obtained from articles, journals, news, books and related documents. The results of the study show that science and technology are not only tools in increasing learning efficiency but also trigger a transformation of teaching methodology in Islamic educational institutions. However, this integration faces challenges in the form of adapting Islamic values ??in the wise use of technology. This study emphasizes the importance of synergy between science and Islamic values ??to create an education system that is relevant to the needs of the times without ignoring Islamic identity.
ABSTRAKPerkembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi sangat dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor dominan yang disebut ilmu pengetahuan. Pada masa keemasan Islam, ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi berkembang di kerajaan-kerajaan Islam. Namun pada akhirnya semangat umat Islam terhadap ilmu pengetahuan melemah karena beberapa hal sehingga mengakibatkan keterbelakangan umat Islam dalam berbagai bidang kehidupan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan secara analitis implikasi hubungan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi terhadap pendidikan Islam abad ke-20. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan mengacu pada analisis data dari berbagai sumber pustaka berupa data sekunder yang diperoleh dari artikel, jurnal, berita, buku dan dokumen terkait. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi tidak hanya menjadi alat bantu dalam meningkatkan efisiensi pembelajaran tetapi juga memicu transformasi metodologi pengajaran di lembaga-lembaga pendidikan Islam. Namun, integrasi ini menghadapi tantangan berupa adaptasi nilai-nilai Islami dalam pemanfaatan teknologi secara bijak. Studi ini menekankan pentingnya sinergi antara ilmu pengetahuan dan nilai-nilai Islam untuk menciptakan sistem pendidikan yang relevan dengan kebutuhan zaman tanpa mengesampingkan identitas keislaman.

La desigualdad, un desafío global.
Authors: Rodríguez Valladolid Natalia , Galán Rello Daniel
Published: December 2024

La desigualdad es un fenómeno constante en todas las sociedades que se manifiesta de diversas maneras según el contexto histórico y geográfico. A lo largo de la historia, desde las primeras comunidades hasta las sociedades contemporáneas, se ha evidenciado una distribución desigual de recursos y poder. En la actualidad, estas desigualdades son más profundas y están arraigadas en las estructuras sociales y políticas, con influencias significativas del sistema económico y político. Además de su manifestación económica, la desigualdad se expresa en términos de género, etnia, edad y otras características. La globalización y la revolución digital han dado lugar a nuevas formas de desigualdad, incluyendo la brecha digital, que agrava las disparidades entre individuos y naciones. Ante el cambio en el contexto social y económico, es imperativo revisar las teorías de estratificación social para adaptarlas a la creciente complejidad de las sociedades actuales. La liberalización económica ha incrementado la vulnerabilidad social, lo que resalta la necesidad de un papel activo por parte de los Estados en lo que respecta a la protección social y el empleo. A nivel local, la participación comunitaria y la sistematización de prácticas profesionales se presentan como elementos esenciales para lograr una intervención social eficaz. Este ensayo busca analizar estas dinámicas de desigualdad y su impacto en la cohesión social y el bienestar general.
