Published: January 2022

Semangga Jaya Village, Merauke Regency as one of the villages that has high rice productivity. In 2019 rice production was 55,184.34 tons with a harvested area of 9,614 hectares. This figure is a potential benefit for the community. However, the high production of rice is not followed by the interest of farmers in utilizing rice straw waste to be processed into products that have high economic value, namely into complete feed that can be used as cattle feed. Cattle farming business is currently starting to be developed by farmers, although in practice it has not been fully maximized. This is due to the lack of public understanding of cattle development and the feeding system used is still simple or uses rice straw which basically has a high crude fiber content. The implementation of this activity will provide full participation in solving problems faced by cattle farmer groups, especially the feed processing system by utilizing rice straw waste into complete feed. Semangga Jaya Village, Merauke Regency in the future can be used as a center for cattle feed production. The implementation of activities includes counseling and technical guidance as a medium for transferring knowledge and technology to partners, which will be carried out en masse, through groups and individuals while still implementing Covid-19 health protocols. The solutions offered in the implementation of the program are through non-physical and physical activities. It is hoped that (a) Increased knowledge and skills of farmers regarding the system for processing rice straw waste into complete feed, (b) Increased knowledge and skills in feeding cattle by looking at feed quality standards, (c) Increased knowledge and ability of farmers and breeders to produce feed into attractive packaging for sale through offline and online systems.

Apklausos rezultatai parodė, jog dažniausiai pasireiškiantys akių simptomai 1–3 kurso studentams buvo akių skausmas, dirginiai, padidėjęs jautrumas šviesai. Trečdaliui 4–6 kurso studentų dažnai pasireiškė padidėjęs jautrumas šviesai, vidutiniškai dažnai pablogėjęs, neryškus, „išplaukęs“ matymas. Simptomai suintensyvėdavo vėjuotu oru arba būnant sausose patalpose. Daugiau nei 33 proc. apklaustųjų teigė, jog nejautė jokio diskomforto skaitydami, vairuodami arba dirbdami su elektroniniais prietaisais. Labiau išreikšti sausos akies simptomai buvo studentams, kurių regos aštrumas nuotolinių studijų metu susilpnėjo. Statistiškai reikšmingai silpniau išreikšti SAS simptomai buvo tiems studentams, kurie naudojo dirbtines ašaras (p<0,01). Išvados. 1. Nuotolinės studijos daugumai tirtų studentų neturėjo įtakos sausos akies sindromo sindromui išsivystyti. 2. Dažniausiai pasitaikantys SAS požymiai tarp 1–3 kurso studentų buvo pablogėjęs, neryškus matymas, padidėjęs akių jautrumas šviesai, o 4–6 kursų studentų – padidėjęs jautrumas šviesai, akių skausmas ir paraudimas. Rečiausiai simptomas tarp abiejų grupių studentų buvo „smėlio“ jutimas akyse.
Representasi Peran Ayah dalam Pengasuhan Anak melalui Reality Show “The Return of Superman”
Authors: Wijaya Claudia Theresia , Ramadhani Desya , Tas’an Nadia Aprilia
Published: January 2022

Reality show biasanya digunakan untuk menunjukkan bagaimana kehidupan di dunia nyata beberapa orang melalui media. Berbeda dari film atau drama yang sudah tertata dan memiliki naskah, reality show dilakukan secara natural tanpa adanya pengaturan yang mencolok. Tujuan dari reality show sendiri ialah untuk merepresentasikan suatu kejadian, kehidupan, cara hidup tertentu melalui teks dan gambar yang disajikan. Seperti halnya reality show The Return of Superman mengambil konsep kehidupan keluarga yang berfokus pada peran seorang ayah dalam mengasuh anak secara mandiri di kala sang ibu diliburkan sementara. Dalam konsep ini, para ayah dituntut untuk bisa memahami dan menjaga anak selama 48 jam penuh. Dengan membuat reality show ini, diharapkan dapat memberikan kesempatan kepada para ayah dalam hal pengasuhan anak dan menunjukkan kepada penonton bagaimana proses mengasuh dan diasuh antara seorang ayah dan anak dapat memberi pengaruh yang baik kepada sang anak. Bagaimana representasi peran ayah dalam mengasuh anak yang digambarkan dalam reality show The Return of Superman menjadi rumusan masalah yang akan diteliti. Secara khusus untuk memberikan gambaran yang lebih jelas bagaimana peran gender pada seorang ayah dalam mengasuh anak yang direpresentasikan oleh media melalui The Return of Superman sehingga dapat membantu industri televisi untuk dapat mengembangkan program-program yang tidak hanya dapat menghibur penonton, tapi juga dapat mengedukasi. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah representasi oleh Stuart Hall, tepatnya representasi peran gender dalam keluarga, menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif melalui studi teks. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan peran ayah dalam pembentukan pola pikir serta perkembangan anak sangat berpengaruh dan sama pentingnya dengan peran ibu terlepas dari konsep gender dan peran ayah yang sebenarnya.

Greek-Turkish Relations: Current Status and Opportunities to Reduce Confrontational Potential
Authors: Demenko Oleksandr
Published: January 2022

The article examines Greek-Turkish relations, whose periodic aggravation is one of the pressing problems of modern international relations. The main reasons for the conflict in relations between Greece and Turkey are: the unresolved Cyprus problem; historical and civilisational contradictions; non-compliance with the rights of national minorities in both countries; the struggle for access to energy resources in the Eastern Mediterranean; unresolved issues regarding the delimitation of territorial waters, the continental shelf, exclusive economic zones, and airspace in the Aegean Sea.
Analysis of the current stage in the development of Greek-Turkish relations allows us to make a conclusion about their instability and a high level of conflict potential, which is exacerbated by the irreconcilable positions of the parties on the key bilateral issues, historical prejudices, and domestic political factors. This has a negative impact on the security situation in the Eastern Mediterranean. At the same time, it is hoped that the political will of both countries, the resolute position of NATO, the EU, and the US on finding a mutually acceptable compromise and establishing dialogue, trust, and mutual tolerance between the two neighbouring states will eliminate the threat of a military conflict. The experience of dynamic cooperation between Greece and Turkey in the late 20th – early 21st centuries shows that the normalisation of relations between these countries is quite possible.
The reduction of confrontational potential will be facilitated by the following factors: renunciation of belligerent and offensive rhetoric and threats of the use of force; demilitarization of the Aegean basin; normalisation and development of Turkey’s relations with the European Union; strengthening of trade and economic relations between Greece and Turkey; search for opportunities to jointly produce and transport energy resources; cooperation in culture and tourism; efforts to reach a compromise in the settlement of the Cyprus problem.
Keywords: Greek-Turkish relations, conflict, Cyprus problem, ‘Aegean crisis’, Eastern Mediterranean.

Why Universities Partner with Companies
Authors: Reed Matt , Langford Joss
Published: January 2022

Universities are drawn to the scale of large businesses, their corporate reputations, the products they develop and the problems they are seeking to address. For the corporate side of the university, large company brands are a strong pull. Universities will use the corporate brand to attract students - often as evidence of the type of educational experiences they will receive and to illustrate their potential prospects after graduation. Additionally, corporate badging demonstrates the relevance of academic research to society. There are a wide range of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations driving researchers to partner with commercial organisations.
Assessing and Calculating Leverage
Authors: Reed Matt , Langford Joss
Published: January 2022

The simplest means to calculate the value of leveraged funds is to describe the benefit your company gets from an external R&D grant or subsidy by the amount of money your company receives directly. However, this approach does not show the full picture. We evaluate how useful access to an external asset base may be on two distinct axes: financial and strategic. In this section, we outline some simple definitions and equations for calculating the incremental benefit that a company’s R&D obtains through accessing innovation assets such as people, facilities and funding that are outside the company. These tools can be used to help create more actionable insights around external innovation activities and support strategic decision making.
Leadership

Published: January 2022

The company you work for may have an explicit leadership model, which you can look to as a guide for thinking about the personal skills and qualities which are needed to build social capital in a strategic partnership. However, many organisations will not have a specific leadership model, or the model may not be set-up to help those company staff who are actively trying to manage one or more innovation partnerships.
Strategic Partnership Agreements
Authors: Reed Matt , Langford Joss
Published: January 2022

Creating a formal agreement for a strategic partnership requires a model that reflects the approaches that we have discussed throughout this playbook. Overarching or umbrella frameworks enable you to share problems more openly with a university partner and help you to start projects more quickly. If they are used well, they are an excellent tool for supporting the development of social capital. You will also find that if the partnership with the university has matured and sustained over time, there is a lot more going on under the radar that hasn't been articulated or captured within the formal project by project contracts. Formalising this activity through a written agreement can help protect the university and leave them less vulnerable to changes in company personnel.
Countess Dracula
Authors: Ellinger Kat
Published: January 2022

This chapter probes into the history surrounding the real life serial killer Countess Elizabeth Bathory. It also unveils several filmic interpretations of her story, with a view to establishing just where Daughters of Darkness fits into the overall body of work concerning the infamous 'Blood Countess'. Outright aggressive, cruel, and violent women have always been something of a taboo subject throughout Western culture. The chapter considers the challenges of portraying a female killer, as doing so can step right into realm of the taboo, which makes people uncomfortable. It is perhaps because of this that Bathory has not enjoyed as much celebration on screen as her male counterpart Dracula; himself in part said to be inspired by historical figure Vlad Tepes, otherwise known as 'Vlad the Impaler'. The chapter concludes with an analysis of the sadist and class themes inherent in Kümel's film.

The Lyman-Alpha Mapping Project (LAMP) UV spectrograph on board the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter observed comet C/2013 A1 (Siding Spring) from lunar orbit at closest approach. On 2014 September 5, Siding Spring came within ∼0.89 au of the Earth–Moon system and provided an opportunity for LAMP to contribute to the broader campaign of observations. The comet coma was imaged during two consecutive orbits, approximately 2 hr apart. Coma emissions of atomic oxygen were resolved within LAMP observations at distances up to ∼1.4 × 106 km from the comet nucleus. We report an atomic production rate for the observed oxygen of 9.42 ± 0.22 × 1027 s−1. We additionally place upper limits on the column densities of candidate species including noble gases and primary transitions. Leveraging this, we place upper limits on the production of hydrogen and carbon of <3.59 × 1026 s−1 and <8.41 × 1025 s−1, respectively. Additionally, we derive OH and H2O production rates and estimate an upper limit on the production of CO. The H2O (8.17 ± 2.64 × 1027 s−1) and OH (7.53 ± 2.244 × 1027 s−1) production rates are found to be in general agreement with previous studies when production rates are derived utilizing oxygen observations, branching ratios, and empirical formulations. Similarly, the upper limit on the production of CO (<1.33 × 1028 s−1) is found to be in good agreement with previous studies (within ∼10%) when we utilize the upper limit on CO Fourth Positive group emissions.

Authors: Schut Pierre-Olaf , Beaudouin Sandie
Published: January 2022

Le téléphone mobile est devenu un objet du quotidien par lequel de nombreuses informations transitent via l’intermédiaire des réseaux des opérateurs. Les activités réalisées avec le téléphone, notamment celles qui requièrent la géolocalisation, sont sources de données riches (zones de présences, volume) pour analyser les mobilités et les lieux de fréquentation des individus. Néanmoins, la prudence quant à l’utilisation de telles données persiste. La captation est soumise aux conditions d’utilisation, à l’environnement, et également à de nombreux dispositifs techniques. À travers une étude de cas, Roland-Garros, il s’agit d’évaluer la fiabilité des données issues de la téléphonie mobile en proposant une analyse de la fréquentation du stade et des mobilités des spectateurs. Pour cela, nous proposons de comparer cette méthode ainsi que les résultats obtenus au regard de deux autres dispositifs d’enquête mis en œuvre : la billetterie et le questionnaire.
New results for the non-oscillatory asymptotic behavior of high order differential equations of Poincaré type

This paper discusses the study of asymptotic behavior of non-oscillatory solutions for high order differential equations of Poincaré type. We present two new and weaker hypotheses on the coefficients, which implies a well posedness result and a characterization of asymptotic behavior for the solution of the Poincaré equation. In our discussion, we use the scalar method: we define a change of variable to reduce the order of the Poincaré equation and thus demonstrate that a new variable can satisfies a nonlinear differential equation; we apply the method of variation of parameters and the Banach fixed-point theorem to obtain the well posedness and asymptotic behavior of the non-linear equation; and we establish the existence of a fundamental system of solutions and formulas for the asymptotic behavior of the Poincaré type equation by rewriting the results in terms of the original variable. Moreover we present an example to show that the results introduced in this paper can be used in class of functions where classical theorems fail to be applied.

Published: January 2022

Food safety training of food handlers is commonly used to reduce the incidence of foodborne disease worldwide. Nevertheless, studies have shown that the provision of knowledge alone may not necessarily result in a positive behavior change. Thus, this study aimed to determine the effect of a multiple-component intervention approach, comprising training and a self-efficacy building program, to improve hand washing and contamination prevention behavior among food handlers at public school canteens in Malaysia. Two groups were compared: treatment (n = 31) and control (n = 30). The treatment group received a 2-h on-site interactive training and a self-efficacy building program that incorporated verbal persuasion, role modeling, and practice time. Both groups were measured using a survey and the direct observation method, before and after a 14-day intervention period. Results show that the intervention package produced a significant increase (P < 0.001) in the behavioral compliance, knowledge, and self-efficacy scores for both behaviors. An increase in the overall frequency of soap use and adherence to the correct hand washing technique for the treatment group was recorded, although there is room for improvement in the post intervention hand washing compliance score. Findings from this study provide valuable information on possible ways to improve food safety behavior among school food handlers.
A New Family of Algorithms Searching Optimal Solutions to Discrete Optimization Problems
Authors: Groppen Vitaly O.
Published: January 2022

A new family of algorithms searching globally optimal solutions to discrete programming problems is proposed. It is proved that the effectiveness of this method depends only on the number of variables of the problem being solved. The main difference from the methods of implicit enumeration is in the ability to a priori predict, solving by the one of proposed methods any extreme problem with Boolean variables, the number of iterations, the running time, and the amount of RAM used. The results of experimental verification of the effectiveness of various versions of modular enumeration procedures and, on their basis, recommendations for the use of these algorithms are given.

The article deals with one of the possible ways of modernization of pedagogical education in Ukraine in order to train teachers of the new generation and to provide conditions for the formation and development of modern alternative models of teachers’ professional and personal growth on the principles of SMART-education concept. The problem of future science teachers training to use SMART-technologies in the professional activity as the condition for realization of the SMART-concept in education is actualized. The advantages of SMART-technologies use in the study of objects and phenomena of wildlife have been substantiated. They allow the formation of holistic thinking of both students and schoolchildren by combining figurative and logical thinking and strengthen the emotional and value perception of wildlife objects. Methods of formation of future science teachers’ readiness to use SMART-technologies in the educational process, which involves the realization of a dual goal: the formation of the ability to use the resource SMART-concept in education to implement their own lifelong education and providing quality professional activities during teaching natural sciences school course have been highlighted. The foundation of the proposed methodology constitutes module “Methods of using SMART-technologies”, which is a component of the discipline “Methods of Biology teaching”. The content and means of its studying by students, tasks for the organization of independent work, tests, criteria and indicators of the level of students’ abilities and skills formation to use the SMART-complex (motivational-value, cognitive, activity-constructive, reflexive and evaluative) have been developed. The effectiveness of the proposed methods on the basis of determined criteria has been proved experimentally.

Aim. To study markers of blood-brain barrier dysfunction (BBB) in patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy (PhRE) – the amount of VEGF in endotheliocytes of brain capillaries, TNF-α in brain tissue and cytokine profile in blood serum.Materials and methods. The study included 30 patients with PhRE who underwent anterior temporal bloc resection. Histological samples of the brain were examined to assess the amount of VEGF and TNF-α; the concentration of cytokines in the blood serum was determined.Results. In the PhRE group, the densitometric density of cells expressing VEGF and the amount of TNF-α in the epileptogenic focus were higher than in the control groups (p < 0.001; p < 0.05). Compared with the control, the serum concentrations of IL-2 (0.98 ± 0.28 pg/ml vs. 2.80 ± 0.71 pg/ml; p < 0.001), IL-8 (14.04 ± 1.46 pg/ml vs. 26.13 ± 3.80 pg/ml; p < 0.001) and EGF (43.72 ± 5.63 pg/ml vs. 83.62 ± 24.06 pg/ml; p < 0.05) were statistically significantly lower in the PhRE group, and the amount of TNF-α (33.09 ± 1.23 pg/ml vs. 24.85 ± 1.32 pg/ml, p < 0.05), IL-4 (43.73 ± 2.57 pg/ml vs. 32.37 ± 5.80 pg/ml, p < 0.05), IL-5 (43.73 ± 2.57 pg/ml vs. 32.37 ± 5.80 pg/ml; p < 0.05), IL-7 (16.65 ± 3.07 pg/ml vs. 8.13 ± 1.67 pg/ml; p < 0.05), GRO (growth-regulated protein) (3054.0 ± 200.8 pg/ml vs. 1367.0 ± 187.3 pg/ml; p < 0.001), VEGF (316.10 ± 55.28 pg/ml vs. 95.22 ± 15.78 pg/ml; p < 0.01) are statistically significantly higher. There were no significant differences in the concentration of IL-1β, IL-1RA, IL-10 and IFN-γ between the PhRE group and the control.Conclusion. Based on the studied cytokine profile, there is no systemic inflammation in patients with PhRE. The established overexpression of VEGF in the brain and an increase in its concentration in the blood, combined with a decrease in serum EGF concentrations and an increase in GRO, as well as pro-inflammatory factors, indicates damage to the BBB. A high amount of TNF-α in the epileptic focus indicates neuroinflammation, and an increased concentration of this marker can be found in the blood of patients with BBB dysfunction.

Vision is a complex sense that is widely represented in the cortex and involves multiple pathways that can be affected by conditions amenable to surgical treatment. From a neurosurgical point of view, the treatment of major lesions affecting the optic nerve, such as tumours, intracranial hypertension, trauma and aneurysms, can be approached depending on the segment to be worked on and the surrounding structures to be manipulated. Therefore, surgical manipulation of the visual pathway requires a detailed knowledge of functional neuroanatomy. The aim of this review is to present the functional and microsurgical anatomy of the second cranial nerve, through illustrations and cadaveric dissections, to support the choice of the best surgical approach and avoid iatrogenic injuries. For this purpose, a literature search was performed using the PubMed database. Additionally, cadaveric dissections were performed on adult cadaver heads fixed with formaldehyde and injected with coloured silicone.
Exploring the Influence of Supply Chain Relationship Commitment and Loyalty in F&B Industry
Authors: Chiu Jun-Zhi , Hsieh Chao-Chen
Published: January 2022

Abstract

Recently, supply chain management (SCM)has been receiving increasing attention from the industry. Most of the current research is focused on the high-tech industry and very little research has focused on SCM topics in the food and beverage (F&B) industry. In Taiwan, as the F&B industry is highly competitive, maintaining and building strong relationships with suppliers of ingredients or tableware is a way to maintain a competitive edge. Therefore, maintaining and building strong relationships with suppliers of ingredients or tableware required for restaurant operations is a way to maintain a competitive advantage. In addition, the perceived value, relationship commitment, satisfaction, switching costs and loyalty of supply chain buyers in the F&B industry is a matter that researchers want to probe when developing an ongoing understanding of SCM in the F&B industry. It has been discovered that the supplier-buyer relationships, when it comes to buyer perceived value and relationship commitment, increase customer satisfaction and increase switching costs as well as positively impact loyalty to the F&B supply chain seller. Therefore, in the rapidly dynamic business environment of the F&B industry, establishing an effective SCM system for the F&B industry can indeed enhance a company's competitive advantage.

Kajian Dampak Penghapusan BBM Pertalite terhadap Profitabilitas PT Pertamina Tahun 2021
Authors: Primadona Fitry , Rizaldi Iqbal Tiar
Published: January 2022

Energy Fuel Oil (BBM) is one of the most needed by the community. Its use as a vehicle transportation fuel makes the level of fuel consumption high. Pertalite as one type of fuel PT.Pertamina with Octane 90 dominates fuel consumption, this is because the quality of the fuel is cleaner than premium and the selling price is cheaper than Pertamax. However, the government is discussing the elimination of BBM below Octane 91 starting in 2022, namely Premium and Pertalite. The elimination strategy is a simplification of product variants and complies with the Regulation of the Minister of Forestry and Environment (KLHK) Number P.20/Menlhk/Setjen/Kum.1/3/2017 which regulates the issue of quality standards for new types of motor vehicle exhaust emissions for motorized vehicles four or more wheels. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of the elimination of Pertalite fuel on the profitability of PT.Pertamina in 2022. The method of this research was descriptive qualitative using a literature review. The results show that the elimination of Pertalite will create high inflation and will suppress the profitability of PT.Pertamina. Inflation will have a positive impact on Pertamina's profitability although it is not significant. This happens because consumers are forced to buy products or goods that are sold because part of the basic needs will still be purchased even though the price rises.

Addiction causes much human suffering and exacts significant social and economic costs. Despite a plethora of theories related to addiction, these harms have not decreased, which suggests that new understandings are needed to make further progress. The purpose of this study was to provide an initial, early-stage evaluation of Addiction Recovery as Transformative Learning, a new model of addiction recovery that draws heavily on education literature, specifically on theorizing and research related to transformative learning. This study examined the narratives of addiction and recovery of seven male clients who had attended residential addiction treatment. Deductive content analysis was employed to see if participant accounts of their recovery experiences were consistent with the assertions of the model and could be captured adequately within its main constructs. Participant accounts strongly supported the aspects of the model tested by the study. Study results have important implications for addiction recovery and counselling, particularly within residential treatment settings.

Authors: Strong Tom
Published: January 2022

Teletherapy refers to a range of mental health services facilitated at a distance by the use of different communications media. In The Distance Cure, Hannah Zeavin critically examines the history of teletherapy as a scholar of communications, culture, and technology. Her analyses show how cultural notions of what is therapeutic as well as practices and relations between clients and counsellors have been transformed by changes in media.

Published: January 2022

Stunting is one of the unsolved nutritional problems in Indonesia. Stunting does not only impact individuals but also affect the wheels of the economy and nation. Children with stunting have lower intelligence levels, psychomotor delay, chronic disease progression, and degradation in performance compared to normal children. The mother's knowledge influences toddler feeding behavior. Maternal knowledge is proven to be one of the factors that significantly affect the incidence of stunting. The research design was descriptive quantitative with cross-sectional approach. The research was conducted during December 2019 in Binanga Public Health Center, Mamuju Regency, with a sample of 103 women of reproductive age. The knowledge of reproductive age women regarding stunting at the Binanga Health Center, Mamuju, is mostly categorized as sufficient from 60 respondents (58.3%). Twenty-three respondents (22,3%) were well-knowledged, while twenty respondents (19,4%) were lack of knowledge. Reproductive age womenare expected to improve their knowledge of stunting by attending counseling from health workers and seeking additional information through mass and digital media. The public health center also needs to improve health services quality, especially on equitable information distribution regarding stunting.    ABSTRAK: Stunting merupakan salah satu permasalahan gizi yang tidak kunjung selesai di Indonesia.

Günümüzde kuşak sınıflandırması; sessiz kuşak, bebek patlaması, X, Y, Z ve alfa kuşağı olarak yapılmaktadır. 2000 ve sonrasında doğanları temsil eden Z kuşağının en belirleyici özelliği, merkezinde internet olmak üzere teknolojik cihazlarla olan etkileşimleridir. Teknoloji ile iç içe bir hayat yaşayan Z kuşağının eğitim süreci de bu duruma paralellik gösterecek şekilde değişmektedir. Yaşanan Covid-19 pandemisi dünya çapında öğrenci nüfusunun yaklaşık %92’sini (1,576,021,818 öğrenci) etkilemiştir. Bu nedenle uzaktan eğitim ile ilk kez tanışan öğrencilerin uzaktan eğitim algılarının belirlenmesi önem arz etmektedir. Nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılarak yapılan bu çalışma fenomenoloji deseni ile yürütülmüştür. Amaçlı örnekleme ile belirlenen araştırma grubunu Z kuşağını temsil eden 10 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Öğrencilerle yapılan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmelerde, araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanan veri toplama aracı kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler içerik analizi ile çözümlenerek bulgular oluşturulmuştur. Çalışma kapsamında elde edilen bulgularda öğrencilerin ders, etkileşim, fırsat eşitsizliği, öğrenci rolü, öğretmen rolü ve teknik sorunlar olmak üzere birçok farklı konuya dikkat çektikleri sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bu çalışmadan elde edilen bir başka sonuç ise teknoloji ile yakından ilişkili olan bu öğrencilerin uzaktan eğitimle gerçekleşen dersleri verimsiz bulduklarını ve teknoloji tabanlı yürütülen bu eğitim öğretim sürecine karşı daha çok olumsuz yargılara sahip olduklarını göstermiştir.

Introduction
Authors: French John D.
Published: January 2022

This chapter summarizes the trajectory of Lula who went from being a poor rural migrant to São Paulo to become a metalworker, a union strike leader, and a radical leftist politician of the Workers’ Party before finally attaining the presidency where he became “the most popular politician on earth” in the words of as President Barack Obama. It offers a biographical interpretation of the origin, roots, and evolution of Lula’s vision, values, and practice of leadership and how these played out as Lula gained in power and stature. And finally, the specificities of Lula’s biography are used to illustrate how larger social structures and historical processes intersect with human agency and political praxis.
Without Fear of Being Happy
Authors: French John D.
Published: January 2022

Lula acquired a remarkably durable charisma during the titanic battles of 1978–80. Under his leadership, ABC’s peons achieved an incredible mobilizing force backed by the Catholic Church leading to the radicalism of the Brazilian New Unionism and the founding of the Lula’s Workers’ Party in 1980. This chapter explores the Lula’s remarkable 1989 presidential election campaign while laying out the political, trade union, and personal transformations that led to his election as president in 2002.
Conclusion
Authors: French John D.
Published: January 2022

This chapter reviews Lula’s origins, roots, and trajectory as a historical actor and public personality across three quarters of a century. In its rich granular detail, this biography has explained how those on the bottom experienced the processes that shaped their well-being. Rejecting backward storytelling, it reviews where Lula and his family in São Paulo stand in relation to the daring gambles of President Getúlio Vargas and the relatively harmonious political interregnum of Juscelino Kubitschek’s presidency. It then explains how workers and intellectuals came to share a goal that eventually assumed the name of democracy. Reviewing his imprisonment for corruption, it ends with his oratory before going to prison and after his release.
Unbecoming Workers
Authors: Hu Pegues Juliana
Published: January 2022

By the 1910s, salmon canneries emerged as a predominant industry of the Alaskan economy, dependent on the racialized and gendered labor of migrant Asian men and resident Native women. Chapter 3 excavates the traces of a labor union by examining two repeating figures, the Asian male sex worker and the promiscuous Native woman, to ask how unproductive workers elucidate contingent understandings of land and labor. Cannery documents and other archival sources form the first half of the chapter; the second half examines the narratives of cannery work expressed in the poetry of Tlingit author Nora Marks Dauenhauer and in Filipino writer Carlos Bulosan’s novel America Is in the Heart to ruminate on queer affinities within settler colonial racial capitalism.
Picture Man
Authors: Hu Pegues Juliana
Published: January 2022

Based on more than nine hundred recovered images, chapter 4 focuses on the life and photography of Shoki Kayamori, a Japanese cannery worker who settled in Yakutat, Alaska, in the 1910s. For three decades, he photographed the everyday activities of the town’s Native, Asian, and white residents, but, as World War II escalated, Kayamori committed suicide as rumors circulated that he was a spy. Kayamori’s photographs capture Asian immigrants within the Native place of Alaska as well as the complex sovereignty strategies of mid-twentieth-century Alaska Natives, approaches that exceeded settler temporality. Kayamori’s suicide, read alongside the internment of Unangax̂ and mixed Native-Japanese families, elucidates carceral violence and surveillance that reinforces the argument that, in Alaska, colonialism and militarism have always been intertwined processes.
Epilogue
Authors: Johnson Susan Lee
Published: January 2022

The Epilogue circles back to the late 1970s, when McClung and Blackwelder were aging. The Epilogue drives home the book’s contentions about how we know what we know about the past and how that knowing is shaped by the conditions of our knowing. It comes clean about the author’s relationship to the West and its chroniclers, to Kit Carson and his wives, and to the idea of a traffic in men. It argues that our identifications and disidentifications shape the stories we tell and insists that the stories we tell can advance an ethic of social justice, reparation, and reconciliation.
Mixed-Heritage Identities in the Eighteenth Century
Authors: Wilkinson A. B.
Published: January 2022

The second half of the book, beginning with the fourth chapter, turns more to mixed-race identity and looks at the self-identification of Mulattoes in the eighteenth-century British colonies. People of mixed ancestry saw themselves largely through their upbringing in Christianity. In freedom petitions Mulattoes argued that they deserved freedom as they struggled to resist slavery and servitude. This chapter also explains and gives examples of early forms of colorism, or discrimination within non-“white” communities of color, based on light-skinned privilege. While Mulattoes and other people of mixed ancestry most often identified and associated with other Africans and Native Americans, others saw themselves or argued for their position above these groups. Also, people of mixed ancestry used their relatively light skin to engage in racial passing, which included temporary passing as free more often than simply passing as “white” on their way to freedom. In many ways, racial ambiguity allowed mixed-heritage people to engage in a practice of crafting identity in various ways as they struggled to gain freedom.
