Alguns Apontamentos sobre o Pensamento de Vasco de Magalhães-Vilhena
Authors: Resende Hernâni ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2021

O tema deste artigo – as duas primeiras edições críticas de inéditos de Magalhães-Vilhena – é antecedido por um sobrevoo do seu pensamento: o marxismo, o neokantismo nos anos 30 e, depois de 1945, os seus trabalhos na Sorbonne e no CNRS. O autor do artigo colaborou com M.-V. em Paris, após 1970. A primeira edição de inéditos, designada por Estudos Inéditos de Filosofia Antiga (2005), reúne em tradução portuguesa 3 estudos, ricos de ideias e de sugestões, coevos das teses de Doutoramento sobre Sócrates (Sorbonne 1949), bem como anotações esparsas e um trabalho incompleto dos anos 60 sobre a blocagem social do desenvolvimento técnico e científico na cidade antiga. Quanto à monografia António Sérgio. O Idealismo Crítico: Génese e estrutura. Raízes Gnosiológicas e Sociais. Estudo de História Social das Ideias (2013), é um estudo exaustivo e inacabado (que se prolongou por mais de 20 anos) da filosofia neokantista de António Sérgio. M.-V. destaca aí com a sua habitual proficiência “os ensinamentos positivos” que essa filosofia “indubitavelmente contém”, discutindo-a “sem compromissos ideológicos impossíveis”, mas com a largueza de ânimo “que um pensamento com a sua valia exige”.
Mulher e Natureza: Sob o Jugo da Usurpação
Authors: de Castro Ilda Teresa ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2021

Thinking Nature Today, at the advent of the Anthropocene, combines different scenarios, sometimes antagonistic, in the derivations of a territory whose borders are still defining. Between the “green economy” and the contamination of animal-environmental studies and ethics, we take the man-woman and human-nonhuman oppositions as a focus. We address the ecophilosophical tendencies that recognize the parallelism between the domain of feminine nature and the domain of Nature, and register the masculine-feminine dualism, the repercussions of androcentrism and the split imposed by the mechanistic thought in the vision of the interdependence of the natural world. At the intersection of ecofeminism with some ecocinematic production, we review the ecocritical convergences of the human-nature and man-woman relationship, and the close relation between ecological feminisms and ethics of care of non-human comprehensiveness. We note the analogy between the two “organisms”, the old and the contemporary, and the urgency of an epistemological reformulation, signaled by the objectification of Woman and Nature.
Vasco de Magalhães-Vilhena
Authors: Bernardino Manuela ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2021

This paper evokes the life and the work of Vasco de Magalhães-Vilhena as a communist militant and a Marxist philosopher. These two dimensions are inseparable in his life’s exemplariness as much as in the intensive intellectual activity through which he influenced the philosophical culture of his lifetime as much as in the writings he left to the further generations. The PCP, having donated the Magalhães-Vilhena Library to the School of Arts and Humanities (Faculdade de Letras) of the University of Lisbon, recognizes the value of this homage in the school where the foregoing professor lectured and fi nished his teaching practice.
Reflectir Contraditoriamente as Contradições
Authors: Morujão Carlos ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2021

This paper aims to analyze some theses of Vasco de Magalhães-Vilhena regarding the problem of knowledge, namely, the so-called theory of the “reflex”. The point of departure is the critic the author addresses to António Sérgio, whose philosophical position is correctly characterized as Neo-kantian Idealism. Magalhães-Vilhena aims to link the doctrine of the reflex, inspired by the research of the Russian physiologist I. Pavlov, to the concept of reflection proposed by Hegel in the Second Part of the Science of Logic. In this paper I question the legitimacy of this connection. At last, confronting the standpoint of Magalhães-Vilhena regarding gnosiological issues (whose corollary is the dependence of sense-data from physical stimuli) I propose an analysis of the phenomenon of knowledge based in the principles of intentional analysis endorsed by Edmund Husserl.
Sobre as Ideias de Progresso e Revolução
Authors: Dias Duarte Manuel ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2021

The idea of progress becomes intelligible only when coupled with the idea of revolution. This last concept, coming from astronomy, entered the social sciences only in the seventeenth century. The concept of revolution differs according to whether we follow it within a Copernican conception or a Ptolemaic conception of progress and historical becoming. So, all the reflection to be made presupposes that the revolution will reach its goal only when the orbit that progress continues to describe is completed. On the way, History and progress have only known revolutions, riots, restorations, counter-revolutions.
Vasco de Magalhães-Vilhena [, Maurice Cornforth] e a Crítica Marxista ao Pragmatismo
Authors: Antunes Paulo ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2021

The present text, rather than taking as its object the bibliography and/or biography of Vasco de Magalhães-Vilhena or presenting succinctly a theme or themes that captivated him, intends instead to use one or another episodic reference of his texts. In this case, it intends to use the references that refer, as the title announces, to the Marxist critique of Pragmatism. Criticism that the honoree will not have developed, however, he pointed out. Maurice Cornforth is the author for whom Magalhães-Vilhena refers the essentials of criticism to Pragmatism. To this end, it starts from the well-known maxim of Pragmatism accompanying some of its repercussions (gnosiological, ontological and political) based on the reflection of this British author.
Ciência e Ideologia. O caso da Física
Authors: Pato Ana Henriques ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2021

The thoughts of Magalhães-Vilhena concerning the relation between science and ideology are a contribution to enlighten the philosophical implications of the groundings of science, something that was under the interested look of the portuguese philosopher. It is having in mind the double meaning of science as productive force and as “manifestation of society’s spiritual life” that Magalhães-Vilhena guides his investigations in which he reveals the intimate relation between science, tecnique and social structures. For the author, it is necessary to perform that “criticism of principle” that reveals the positioning of each ideological tendency. Nowadays, quantum mechanics still rises a number of philosophical problems. Paying tribute to Vilhena’s work, I try to show the necessity of thinking in which way the different interpretations of quantum mechanics bear, in the roots of their oppositions, that most fundamental confrontation between materialism and idealism. I therefore pretend to show the pertinence and topicality of such “criticism of principle”.
“Ensinar e Aprender Filosofia”
Authors: Lúcio Vargas Sara Sofia ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2021

In this paper we will revisit the theme of Philosophy teaching in its fundamental debate about what it is and its possibility. It is not intended here to inventory everything that has already been thought about this question, nor would it be possible, but rather to think of it in dialogue with what some authors (but could be others) thought and wrote. Philosophy does not disassociate itself from the act. It is done and it is possible to teach to do it because deep down it is a process that is learned in the measure that is cultivated, that is cultivated in the measure in which one lives and practices. This is the meaning given to the reflection proposed here.
Soluble CD40 Levels in Plasma Are Associated with Cardiovascular Disease and in Carotid Plaques with a Vulnerable Phenotype
Authors: Shami Annelie , Edsfeldt Andreas , Bengtsson Eva , Nilsson Jan , Shore Angela C. , Natali Andrea , Khan Faisel , Lutgens Esther , Gonçalves Isabel
Published: October 2021

Background and Purpose CD40 and CD40 ligand (CD40L) are costimulatory molecules of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily and well known for their involvement in inflammatory diseases: atherosclerotic mouse models with disrupted CD40 signalling develop lesions of reduced size with a more stable plaque profile. This study investigated the potential of plasma and intraplaque levels of CD40 and CD40L as markers for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in humans and their association with plaque stability.Methods Soluble CD40 and CD40L (sCD40L) were measured in plasma in 1,437 subjects from The SUrrogate markers for Micro- and Macro-vascular hard endpoints for Innovative diabetes Tools (SUMMIT) cohort. Intra-plaque levels of sCD40 and sCD40L were measured in atherosclerotic plaque homogenates from 199 subjects of the Carotid Plaque Imaging Project (CPIP) cohort. Results Both plasma sCD40 and sCD40L levels were elevated in individuals with prevalent stroke, while sCD40 levels also were higher in individuals with a prior acute myocardial infarction. Plasma levels of sCD40 correlated with carotid intima-media thickness and total carotid plaque area and were associated with risk of cardiovascular events over a 3-year follow-up period. Intra-plaque levels of sCD40 and sCD40L were associated with plaque components characteristic for plaque vulnerability and extracellular matrix remodelling.Conclusions Higher plasma sCD40 and sCD40L levels are associated with prevalent CVD. Plasma sCD40 levels also correlate with the severity of carotid atherosclerosis and predict future cardiovascular events, while intra-plaque levels correlate with a vulnerable plaque phenotype. Our findings thus demonstrate that elevated levels of sCD40 and sCD40L are markers of CVD.

The benefits of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and a large ischemic core (LIC) at presentation are uncertain. We aimed to obtain up-to-date aggregate estimates of the outcomes following MT in patients with volumetrically assessed LIC. We conducted a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA)-conformed, PROSPERO-registered, systematic review and meta-analysis of studies that included patients with AIS and a baseline LIC treated with MT, reported ischemic core volume quantitatively, and included patients with a LIC defined as a core volume ≥50 mL. The search was restricted to studies published between January 2015 and June 2020. Random-effects-meta-analysis was used to assess the effect of MT on 90-day unfavorable outcome (i.e., modified Rankin Scale [mRS] 3–6), mortality, and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) occurrence. Sensitivity analyses were performed for imaging-modality (computed tomography-perfusion or magnetic resonance-diffusion weighted imaging) and LIC-definition (≥50 or ≥70 mL). We analyzed 10 studies (954 patients), including six (682 patients) with a control group, allowing to compare 332 patients with MT to 350 who received best-medical-management alone. Overall, after MT the rate of patients with mRS 3–6 at 90 days was 74% (99% confidence interval [CI], 67 to 84; Z-value=7.04; I2=92.3%) and the rate of 90-day mortality was 36% (99% CI, 33 to 40; Z-value=–7.07; I2=74.5). Receiving MT was associated with a significant decrease in mRS 3–6 odds ratio (OR) 0.19 (99% CI, 0.11 to 0.33; P<0.01; Z-value=–5.92; I2=62.56) and in mortality OR 0.60 (99% CI, 0.34 to 1.06; P=0.02; Z-value=–2.30; I2=58.72). Treatment group did not influence the proportion of patients experiencing sICH, OR 0.96 (99% CI, 0.2 to 1.49; P=0.54; Z-value=–0.63; I2=64.74). Neither imaging modality for core assessment, nor LIC definition influenced the aggregated outcomes. Using aggregate estimates, MT appeared to decrease the risk of unfavorable functional outcome in patients with a LIC assessed volumetrically at baseline.
Hemodynamics of Leptomeningeal Collaterals after Large Vessel Occlusion and Blood Pressure Management with Endovascular Treatment
Authors: Kim Beom Joon , Singh Nishita , Menon Bijoy K.
Published: October 2021

Endovascular therapy (EVT) is an effective treatment for ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (LVO). Unlike intravenous thrombolysis, EVT enables visualization of the restoration of blood flow, also known as successful reperfusion in real time. However, until successful reperfusion is achieved, the survival of the ischemic brain is mainly dependent on blood flow from the leptomeningeal collaterals (LMC). It plays a critical role in maintaining tissue perfusion after LVO via pre-existing channels between the arborizing pial small arteries or arterioles overlying the cerebral hemispheres. In the ischemic territory where the physiologic cerebral autoregulation is impaired and the pial arteries are maximally dilated within their capacity, the direction and amount of LMC perfusion rely on the systemic perfusion, which can be estimated by measuring blood pressure (BP). After the EVT procedure, treatment focuses on mitigating the risk of hemorrhagic transformation, potentially via BP reduction. Thus, BP management may be a key component of acute care for patients with LVO stroke. However, the guidelines on BP management during and after EVT are limited, mostly due to the scarcity of high-level evidence on this issue. In this review, we aim to summarize the anatomical and physiological characteristics of LMC to maintain cerebral perfusion after acute LVO, along with a landscape summary of the literature on BP management in endovascular treatment. The objective of this review is to describe the mechanistic association between systemic BP and collateral perfusion after LVO and thus provide clinical and research perspectives on this topic.

Published: October 2021

This research generates specific, contextualized identification of existing poverty status and poverty causing factors in Enda-mohoni woreda in Tigray Region, Ethiopia. Agroecology based cluster sampling technique was employed to select 154 household heads. Logit model was used to analyze household poverty status and FGT poverty index estimation model for poverty incidence analysis. The poverty analysis found a 30.9% headcount ratio, 4.4% poverty gap ratio, and 1% poverty severity. Furthermore, the result of the logistic regression revealed that among the explanatory variables used in the model, family size and agroecological location of the household head were found to positively influence HHs' poverty status at (P<0.01) and (P<0.05) respectively. Whereas, owning livestock and marital status of the HHH were found to negatively influence HHs' poverty status at (P<0.05) and (P<0.1) respectively. It is with appropriate policies that recognize the importance of poverty features and trends would it be possible for more people to make positive exits from poverty risk.

Published: October 2021

The aim of this paper is to present application of different methods used for predicting bankruptcy of large agricultural and food companies in AP Vojvodina, as well as to determine which model is the most suitable for analyzing the companies from the observed sectors. The following three models were applied in the paper: Altman's Z'-score model, Kralicek DF indicators and Kralicek Quick test. The analysis included five companies from the agricultural sector and five companies from the food sector operating on the territory of AP Vojvodina in the period from 2015 to 2019. The results of the research based on the applied models showed that different conclusions can be made about the financial stability of the observed companies. Altman's Z'-score model provided the most rigorous forecast in terms of the bankruptcy risk, while the results of Kralicek DF indicators and Quick test are relatively similar.

Authors: Živković Dragan , Vujić Tamara , Cvijanović Dušica
Published: October 2021

The paper points out the maintenance of economic activity and stability of production even in the difficult conditions of the global crisis as a consequence of the pandemic. Especially in the conditions of a long-lasting crisis, caused by a pandemic of the virus, the business or social responsibility of companies in the agro-industrial sector of the economy is observed. The aim of this paper is that, in the conditions of business crisis, social responsibility represents the optimal attendance of companies from the observed activity, and thus to contribute to the sustainability of economic development. The main goal of the paper is that, even in the conditions of the great business crisis - caused by covid 19 virus, in all economic branches and especially food producers, the socially responsible behavior of companies in the agricultural complex does not disappear. The subject of the research is the business of the company "Agroprogres" i.e. the way and model of applying the concept of social responsibility in the conditions of a great and general business crisis and the adaptability of the company from the agro complex to new circumstances. Pursuant to the subject of the research the target group of employees was selected and a survey was conducted from the aspect of the level of social responsibility of the company. Analyzing the business of a particular company, many scientific methods were used to prove the basic hypothesis: the crisis caused by the pandemic did not reduce social responsibility during its duration, i.e. business in difficult conditions.
On-line registration of companies in the Republic of Serbia
Authors: Jevremović-Petrović Tatjana
Published: October 2021

In this paper author presents an overview of the procedure of electronic registration of the companies' formation in the Serbian law. This procedure was made possible for the first time in 2017 for the purpose of electronic registration of entrepreneurs, and shortly afterward the establishment of a single-member and multi-member limited liability company. The procedure is performed entirely electronically. It is possible to submit electronically the registration application for founding a company, as well as to electronically sign the application using a qualified electronic signature. The possibility of composing and submitting electronic or digitized documents and their electronic signing is also envisaged. Finally, electronic registration ends with the delivery of the registrar's decision in the electronic form to the registered e-mail address. The introduction of the electronic registration procedure, and then its wider and more efficient application, represents one of the important goals in further improvement in the efficiency of the procedure of establishing a company in Serbia. This procedure came to the fore during the Covid-19 pandemic, and the experiences from that period may be important in the further improvement of this procedure.
Legal position of correspondent bank in documentary letter of credit transaction
Authors: Babović Miloš
Published: October 2021

Considering that the documentary letter of credit is the most frequently used instrument of free foreign currency payments, as well as that the correspondent bank is an almost indispensable participant in the international letter of credit transaction, this paper is dedicated to analysing its position. The correspondent bank may take on the role of advising a letter of credit to a beneficiary, honour presented documents, or add its confirmation to a letter of credit. Depending on whether it appears as an advising, nominated or confirming bank, its rights, obligations, and responsibilities will be determined. This paper discusses the legal position of the correspondent bank depending on the role it plays, but also the liability of the issuing bank for the damage that the correspondent bank causes to the beneficiary by its actions.

Governança corporativa: análise das políticas de sucessão em cooperativas de crédito
Authors: Vieira Flávia Monaco , Santos Vando Vieira Batista dos
Published: October 2021

Em 2016, o Conselho Monetário Nacional – CMN, aprovou o marco regulatório para a política de sucessão de administradores das instituições financeiras e demais instituições autorizadas a funcionar pelo Banco Central do Brasil – BACEN, obrigando as cooperativas de crédito a elaborarem suas políticas de sucessões, pelo princípio de governança. Desse modo, o presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar as políticas de sucessões de administradores em Cooperativas de Crédito, elaboradas em 2017. Para atender esse objetivo, foi construído um panorama teórico sobre governança corporativa, cooperativas de crédito e política de sucessão, evidenciando os dispositivos da Resolução do CMN nº 4.538/2016. Por meio da pesquisa documental, foram analisadas as políticas de sucessão dos sistemas de cooperativismo de crédito: SICOOB; SICRED; UNICRED e AILOS (CECRED). A divulgação das políticas de sucessão em websites institucional das cooperativas singulares de créditos é baixa, não obstante, os resultados demonstram que as políticas atendem aos aspectos normativos, no que diz respeito à indicação de cargos, abrangência do processo, responsabilidades e revisão mínima da política.

This article is about Tua Forsström and the impact and power of poetry. It is based on the assumption that the signature of a work, and sometimes an author’s entire oeuvre, is not primarily located in the author or narrator, but rather in the mood, atmosphere, voice and tone that characterize the work. These phenomena, however, are difficult to deal with. With reference to various researchers, I examine the concepts of tone, voice, mood and atmosphere, in order to find central points of attention in an affective and ambient-oriented reading. More specifically I build on Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht’s and Horace Engdahl’s approaches to these issues and use their insights as I delve further into Forsström’s work. Here I examine the author’s poetological basis, and, with special focus on the poetry collection Songs, I exemplify how an affective and ambient reading can unfold.

Mathias Overgaard: “Fantastic Time, Historical Space – The Dynamics of the Thirty Years’ War in The Adventures of Simplicius Simplicissimus”

This article sets out to investigate the presence of the Thirty Years’ War in Grimmelshausen’s Simplicissimus by illuminating the relationship between an ahistorical configuration of time and a historically specific spatiality. By analyzing the co-constitutional interrelation between Simplicius and the spaces he encounters, the article proposes a metaphysical reading of the protagonist as a disruptive element that resembles some of the changes which the war forced upon a great part of Europe.

This article discusses the motif of reproductive work as it pops up in Scandinavian poetry in the 1960s and 70s. Shopping for groceries, the peeling and cooking of potatoes and the like are activities that the works of for instance Inger Christensen, Kirsten Thorup, Vita Andersen and Sonja Åkesson mark with a conspicuous poetic intensity that revaluates domestic/reproductive work as work proper.
Da fabrikkerne lukkede
Authors: Jensen Mikkel
Published: October 2021

This article presents readings of three American films that engage with American histories of deindustrialization: Gung Ho, Roger & Me and 8 Mile. Since the publication of Barry Bluestone and Bennett Harrison’s The Deindustrialization of America in 1982, much research has explored important economic and social-historical aspects concerning the waning number of industrial jobs in the U.S. and the impact of factory closings on many cities in the so-called Rust Belt. This paper explores a cultural side of that story, especially taking its cue from Sherry Lee Linkon’s The Half-Life of Deindustrialization (2018). The paper explores how Gung Ho’s comedic depiction of deindustrialization all but elides important class tensions, how Roger & Me, among other things, intervenes in discussions regarding priorities in leftist discourse in the U.S. and how 8 Mile explores a tension between industrial and creative work in the 1990s in Detroit. It closes by pointing to the relevance of further research into the cultural aspects of deindustrialization.
EU og arbejdspladsromanen
Authors: Kjærgård Jonas Ross
Published: October 2021

The article presents a comparative analysis of two contemporary EU novels, Robert Menasse’s Die Hauptstadt (2017) and Michel Houellebecq’s Sérotonine (2019). Based on the observation that both novels investigate the bureaucracy of the EU and the changing framework conditions of European farmers, this article argues that Menasse and Houellebecq present a peculiar EU power distribution that can be summed up in the formula sovereignty without a sovereign. In investigating the dynamics of this distribution, the novels are shown to combine elements from various novelistic genres, including the proletarian novel, the picaresque and the multiperspectival novel.

Maintaining dual career balance: A scenario perspective on Swedish university student-athletes’ experiences and coping
Authors: Linnér Lukas , Stambulova Natalia , Ziegert Kristina
Published: October 2021

A dual career (DC) scenario perspective was introduced in the Erasmus+ Sports project “Gold in education and elite sport” (GEES) and is characterized by integration of student-athletes’ athletic and non-athletic demands into difficult situations or periods (i.e., scenarios) requiring coping efforts. In this study we consider balance as the primary challenge for student-athletes and set out to identify DC scenarios that influenced university student-athletes’ optimal DC balance, and the factors involved in coping with such scenarios. We implemented a post-positivist qualitative design through semi-structured interviews with six university student-athletes. Our thematic analysis generated seven DC scenarios (e.g., A sport event coincides with exams, and Finalize degree project and continue to train and compete). The scenarios, their characteristics and student-athletes’ corresponding coping are described. Based on the findings, we suggest an updated definition of DC scenarios and present their taxonomy, with four types of DC scenarios in which student-athletes’ circumstances require (a) several shifts between sport and study in daily life, (b) prioritizing sport while maintaining study, (c) prioritizing study while maintaining sport, and (d) prioritizing personal life while maintaining sport and study. We discuss how these developments can be useful for DC research and practice.
How University Graduation Shapes Attitudes Toward Employment in Different Generations Operating at Job Market?
Authors: Šnýdrová Markéta , Depoo Lucie , Šnýdrová Ivana
Published: October 2021

The article deals with the evaluation of university graduates’ attitudes towards job characteristics based on their generation. Research shows that the attitudes of individuals in the labor market are currently changing. However, the question is to what extent this change is related to the entry of a new generation or to what extent generational affiliation plays a role in the different attitudes of individuals in the labor market. Therefore, the aim is to test the proposition whether the age of a graduate, respectively his / her affiliation to the generation X, Y or Z affects attitudes towards job characteristics. The partial goal of the article is to identify the main attitudes of searched generations to employment, the second partial goal is to identify attitudes to the evaluation of the benefits of university study in relation to employment. This paper evaluates data from the case study of a selected business university. The return rate of primary survey was representative for the graduates of the case university. The results obtained were statistically tested. Analysis of differences between age and selected factors was used. The analysis showed statistically significant differences between members of generation X, Y and Z in all investigated factors.

Objectifs : Déterminer, à partir d’analyses secondaires de données d’une enquête réalisée auprès de femmes victimes d’agression sexuelle vécue à l’enfance (ASE), l’effet du dévoilement sur la résilience à l’âge adulte.Méthodes : L’échantillon est composé de 86 femmes victimes d’ASE et ne présentant pas de difficultés d’intensité clinique (groupe résilient) qui ont été comparées à 353 femmes victimes d’ASE présentant des difficultés d’intensité clinique (groupe non résilient) afin d’identifier les patrons de dévoilement qui prédisaient leur appartenance au groupe de résilience, en contrôlant pour les caractéristiques de l’ASE, les autres mauvais traitements subis dans l’enfance et différentes données sociodémographiques.Résultats : Le patron de dévoilement est significativement associé à la résilience. Les participantes ayant dévoilé l’ASE et ayant perçu que l’aide reçue ne les a pas aidées étaient moins susceptibles d’appartenir au groupe de résilience que celles n’ayant jamais dévoilé l’ASE.Implications : Les réactions envers la victime à la suite du dévoilement d’une ASE et la perception qu’elle a de celles-ci semblent être associées à la résilience des femmes adultes victimes d’ASE. Les résultats montrent la nécessité de programmes de prévention axés sur la proactivité dans la recherche d’aide pour les victimes d’ASE ainsi que des moyens pour sensibiliser et outiller les personnes susceptibles de recevoir un dévoilement d’ASE.

Recientes estudios han mostrado que la segregación escolar por nivel socioeconómico en la Comunidad de Madrid es muy alta, la más alta de España, y una de las más elevadas de Europa. Esta investigación profundiza en el conocimiento de la segregación escolar por nivel socioeconómico en educación secundaria con datos recientes mediante la consecución de tres objetivos: a) estimando su magnitud con diversas estrategias, calculando su perfil para 19 grupos minoritarios y comparándola con otras Comunidades; b) estudiando el papel de los centros públicos, privados concertados y no concertados; y c) determinando la aportación del programa de bilingüismo a la segregación. Se realiza una explotación de los datos de España PISA-2018 y se utilizan cinco índices diferentes y complementarios para estimar la segregación social y su descomposición –el Índice de Disimilitud, el Índice de Segregación de Gorard, el Índice de Raíz Cuadrada de Hutchens, el Índice de Aislamiento y el Índice de Inclusión Socioeconómica–. Los resultados indican que la Comunidad de Madrid continúa teniendo niveles muy altos de segregación escolar que la sitúan a la cabeza de España. Además, verifican el fuerte papel que la privatización de la educación y el programa de bilingüismo tienen en la segregación por nivel socioeconómico de los estudiantes de educación secundaria. Así, se denuncia la situación de inequidad educativa de la región y la influencia que la privatización y el programa de bilingüismo y se insta a que el Gobierno regional elabore con toda urgencia un Plan de lucha contra la segregación escolar.
Coordinación docente y precariedad. Modelos de coordinación en la enseñanza de la Sociología en Andalucía
Authors: Torrado José Manuel , Baldán Henar , Duque-Calvache Ricardo
Published: October 2021

Desde la implantación de los Sistemas de Garantía de Calidad, la enseñanza universitaria ha incorporado mecanismos y figuras de coordinación a la práctica docente. Sin embargo, su aplicación dista de ser homogénea. Un mecanismo diseñado originalmente para la mejora de la calidad docente ha cobrado una nueva significación e importancia debido al contexto de precarización generalizada de las plantillas de profesorado en la universidad. Este trabajo plantea un análisis del contexto, las bases teóricas y los distintos modelos de coordinación implementados en una serie de universidades donde se imparte el grado de Sociología en Andalucía, pero los resultados son perfectamente extrapolables a otras disciplinas y lugares. Empleando un análisis autoetnográfico, a partir de la experiencia de los autores del texto, se elaboran dos modelos típico ideales de coordinación. Las prácticas docentes reales en los diferentes departamentos analizados se mueven en un continuo que va desde la coordinación total a la autonomía total. Cada uno de estos modelos tienen una serie de ventajas e inconvenientes, y son fruto de una particular combinación de factores materiales, culturales y humanos. Nuestros resultados muestran la utilidad de un mayor grado de coordinación en contextos de plantillas inestables o en formación, frente a la adecuación de la autonomía a las situaciones de mayor estabilidad y experiencia. La coordinación puede servir para mitigar algunos problemas causados por la precariedad, pero no debería ser una coartada para profundizar en ella.

New Zealand's security relations with the United States was halted when the former's antinuclear policies during late 1980s caused the US to suspend their security commitments. However, changes in international structure affected the once-broken security relations. Since the beginning of the 21st century, rapprochement in security cooperation has occurred between New Zealand and the US. This article analyzes the underlying causes of the rapprochement through Neoclassical Realism's paradigm and balance of interest theory. Changes in international structure, especially the reemergence of China, as well as New Zealand's domestic politics reactions concerning the said changes, are the factors that shape New Zealand's rapprochement to the US. As a small state, New Zealand's respond towards the changes in international structure is supposed to be either bandwagoning or distancing. However, New Zealand chooses to bandwagon the US as well as establishing the policies of engagement with China.
Keberhasilan Semu Deradikalisasi di Indonesia

Published: October 2021

This paper researches the claim made by the Indonesian government regarding the deradicalization program that it ran to deradicalize militants. The Indonesian government claimed that the deradicalization program had been very successful and effective in countering religious extremism. This paper will examine the effects of the de-radicalisation program and will argue that the program has not been as effective as has been claimed. This paper highlights researches which indicate that the program doesn't have a clear structure and the facts that it has been used by terrorist suspects to leave prison through using rewards received after joining the program and rather than being 'de-radicalised' have returned to their terrorist networks and involvement in serious terrorist activities and planning. Whilst the effectiveness of deradicalization program had been claimed by the Indonesian government, this paper argues that the current weak structure of the Indonesian prison system has contributed to the ineffectiveness of the disengagement and deradicalization process. This paper also looks at how the deradicalization program had been used primarily as the purpose of data gathering. Finally this paper will end by proposing recommendation for improving and strengthening the prison system in Indonesia to strengthen disengagement process.
Russia’s Failure as a Benign Hegemon: The Domination of Hobbesian Culture in the 2008 Russo-Georgian War
Authors: Syawfi Idil , Cahyadi Robby
Published: October 2021

This paper aims to explain the advent of the 2008 Russo-Georgian war. It is an important question to answer due to the historical, cultural, and economic relations between the two states, as well as Russia’s aspiration as a benign hegemon should have prevented the war from happening. The fact that two closely related ex-Soviet states went to war against each other points to a fundamental problem in their relationship that could happen to other states with similar preconditions, such as Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Moldova, and more. In order to address this issue, Wendtian Constructivism is used to analyse the social interaction, key events, and the culture of anarchy that led to open warfare. This paper mainly relies on official documents and previous research as the primary sources, using news and media coverage to validate truths and opinions on key events. Based on that, this paper finds that: 1) social interaction between the two states was consistent with the Hobbesian culture of anarchy; 2) Russia’s aspiration as a benign hegemon failed to reproduce itself due to rejection from Georgia and their success in balancing Russia with the U.S., giving Georgia the capabilities to resist Russian narratives; 3) Georgia’s confrontative behaviours led to reciprocal actions from Russia, and; 4) the Georgian offensive on Tskhinvali was the trigger that confirmed the suspicions from both sides, making both countries decision to be based on the logic of enmity.

According to 2020 UNAIDS data, there are approximately 20,700,000 people infected with HIV, with 12,900,000 infected are women in Eastern & Southern Africa. This condition is caused by the lack of health rights for women which is also based on the limited rights of women to matters such as education, employment and finance. This study aims to examine the role of global government in accommodating global actors to address issues of gender equality in women's health in Eastern and Southern Africa. This research is built on the concept of global governance theory and feminism. The research method used is qualitative research methods using case studies. This paper concludes that global actors (governmental and non-governmental) make important contributions through international cooperation and produce various programmes for women's empowerment and health assistance. These programmes and assistance are producing slow but steady changes to gender equality and the well-being of women in the Eastern and Southern Africa region. Because through these various health programmes and assistance, women in the Eastern and Southern Africa region can optimise their rights as women as well as human beings.
Y chromosome functions in mammalian spermatogenesis
Authors: Subrini Jeremie , Turner James
Published: October 2021

The mammalian Y chromosome is critical for male sex determination and spermatogenesis. However, linking each Y gene to specific aspects of male reproduction has been challenging. As the Y chromosome is notoriously hard to sequence and target, functional studies have mostly relied on transgene-rescue approaches using mouse models with large multi-gene deletions. These experimental limitations have oriented the field toward the search for a minimum set of Y genes necessary for male reproduction. Here, considering Y-chromosome evolutionary history and decades of discoveries, we review the current state of research on its function in spermatogenesis and reassess the view that many Y genes are disposable for male reproduction.

Hypoxic adaptation mediated by HIF transcription factors requires mitochondria, which have been implicated in regulating HIF1α stability in hypoxia by distinct models that involve consuming oxygen or alternatively converting oxygen into the second messenger peroxide. Here, we use a ratiometric, peroxide reporter, HyPer to evaluate the role of peroxide in regulating HIF1α stability. We show that antioxidant enzymes are neither homeostatically induced nor are peroxide levels increased in hypoxia. Additionally, forced expression of diverse antioxidant enzymes, all of which diminish peroxide, had disparate effects on HIF1α protein stability. Moreover, decrease in lipid peroxides by glutathione peroxidase-4 or superoxide by mitochondrial SOD, failed to influence HIF1α protein stability. These data show that mitochondrial, cytosolic or lipid ROS were not necessary for HIF1α stability, and favor a model where mitochondria contribute to hypoxic adaptation as oxygen consumers.
