Inclusive Instructional Design for Neurodiverse Learners
Authors: Azuka Chukwuma Victoria , Wei Calvin Ronchen , Ikechukwu Unegbu Lasbrey , Nwachukwu Emmanuel Lucas
Published: August 2024

The variations in the cognitive processes through which neurodiverse learners perceive, acquire knowledge, and engage with their surroundings are construed as inherent cognitive diversity, analogous to the biodiversity observed in the natural ecosystem. These variations are a mix of distinctive abilities and difficulties for learners. Consequently, there is a need for interventions aimed at establishing inclusive learning environments through instructional design that will help neurodivergent learners excel in learning environments. Inclusion and equity in education may remain mere statements if it fails to focus on infusing teaching with support and resources to a broad spectrum of learners which includes neurodivergent learners. Neurodiversity refers to the natural variation in human brain function and the resulting differences in how individuals learn, process information, and interact with the world.  This spectrum encompasses a wide range of conditions, each with its own unique set of strengths and needs. This paper explores how instructional design can be inclusive and aligned to create a supportive learning environment for neurodiverse learners to foster equity in education. This literature-based approach adopts Leo Vygotsky’s social constructionist theory, which envision an inclusive model for special learners. The study concludes that by recognizing and accommodating the unique differences of these learners, adopting inclusive instructional design can help unlock the potential of neurodiverse learners and create a more inclusive learning environment.
A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF MURRAYA KOENIGII (LINN.) ON RESTORATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS BY AUGMENTING GLUCOSE UPTAKE IN THE NEURONS: A REVIEW
Authors: Sinha Prachi , Kumar Singh Rajesh , Kumar Joshi Pravin , Sham Dhomane Mayuri
Published: August 2024

Fainting, also known as syncope or passing out, is caused by decreased cerebral blood flow leading to loss of consciousness and muscle strength. It is caused by lack of blood supply to the brain leading to decrease blood sugar
supply to the neurons. Symptoms like dizziness, sweating, pale complexion, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting or a
warm feeling precede the loss of consciousness[1]. For the brain, glucose serves as its main energy source. In order
for glucose to be transported from the blood into the brain, it must pass through the endothelial cells that line the
blood-brain barrier and enter the neurons and glia. These processes are mediated by facilitative Glucose transporter protein. Kaidarya is an Ayurvedic drug from the ancient samhitas, commonly known as curry leaves. Due
to its grahi properties it increases the glucose uptake activity. When glucose uptake activity increases in the brain,
it supplies sufficient glucose to the brain cells, which helps in management of fainting or syncope.
EXPLORING ABHAVA PRATINIDHI DRAVYA (SUBSTITUTE) FOR SHOREA ROBUSTA (GAERTN.): GIVEN ITS SANGRAHI KARMA
Authors: Sham Dhomane Mayuri , Kumar Singh Rajesh , Kumar Joshi Pravin , Agrawal Akhil Kumar , Sinha Prachi
Published: August 2024

The ancient system of Ayurveda, rooted in Holistic Health Practices, acknowledges the broad significance of Abhava Pratinidhi Dravya. Pratinidhi Dravyas are the substitute drugs which are utilised in the absence of the original drug (Abhava Dravya). Shorea robusta (Gaertn.), known as the Sal tree, holds a revered position in Ayurvedic
Medicine for its numerous therapeutic properties. It is Kasaya rasatmak, katu vipaki, sheeta veerya and has
ruksha laghu guna and performs Sangrahi Karma, which can be correlated with cellular uptake activity of body
fluids. Thus, synthesising traditional wisdom with modern insights, this article aims to provide a holistic understanding of Sangrahi karma. Also, this article aims to compile possible substitutes for Shorea robusta (Gaertn.)
about Raspanchak and Sangrahi Karma.
A LITERERY REVIEW ON SAMSARJANA KRAMA
Authors: ITTY ANU
Published: August 2024

In Ayurveda, Chikitsa can be classified into Sodhana and Samana. Sodhana is indicated in Bahudosha Avastha.
After the administration of Sodhana karma due to the Prabhuta dosha nirharana, Agni is diminished and is not
capable for the proper digestion of food particles. Samsarjana krama which includes Peyadi, Tarpanadi and Rasa
samsarjana can be administered after Sodhana karma by considering the Karma performed and the Sudhi attained
by the patient. Generally, Peyadi krama is indicated after Vamana and Virechana for Agni sandhushnartham. If
the proper Sodhana does not occur, instead of Peyadi krama,Yushadi and Tarpanadi krama are advised. Peyadi
krama includes the administration of Peya, Vilepi, Yusha and Mamsa rasa in successive order by considering
Sudhi attained by the patient.
DIET AND LIFESTYLE REGIMEN FOR VARSHA RITU (MONSOON SEASON)
Authors: Pramar Twinkal , Kumar Sharma Ashok
Published: August 2024

Ayurveda, the eternal science of life, has a way of making things more accessible for people. Ayurveda promotes the ideas of Dinacharya (daily regimen) and Ritucharya, reflecting the diversity of theories and principles that the science of health offers for achieving a state of physical and mental well-being. Among these practices in Ritucharya, which is crucial for facilitating the adaptation of seasonal regulations without compromising body homeostasis. In the ancient classics of Ayurveda, various seasons and the regimen one must adapt to remain healthy, irrespective of them, are mentioned. In Ayurvedic classics, the seasons or Ritus have been divided into six, namely, Shishir Ritu (Late Winter), Vasant Ritu (Spring), Greeshma Ritu (Summer), Varsha Ritu (Monsoon), Sharad Ritu (Autumn) and Hemant Ritu (Early Winter). Among them, you merely have to follow the dietary and behavioural patterns mentioned in Varsha Ritu (Monsoon season) to remain fit as a fiddle. According to Ayurve-da, Vata Dosha is the indistinct energy correlated with the governance of breathing, blinking, movement of the muscles & tissues, the heartbeat and, in short, the overall movement of the body, including the flow of thoughts. When in balance, Vata aids in ingenuity and resilience. However, being out of balance engenders panic and ap-prehension. During the Varsha Ritu, Vata Dosha aggravates, which causes Mandagni or impeded digestive pow-er, decreased immunity and a weakened body. The impaired digestive system begets Ama, the root of many dis-eases. Another Dosha which plays a part in Varsha Ritu is Pitta. It generally deals with metabolic processes to effectuate heat and energy. The dietary and behavioural aspects are to be controlled to balance the Vata & Pitta Doshas and keep them free from diseases. Thus, one should follow the diet and lifestyle modification according to season to remain healthy or disease-free, which also helps boost immunity.
MANAGEMENT OF OLIGOHYDRAMNIOS THROUGH AYURVEDA: A CASE RE-PORT
Authors: Tahlan Nidhi , Pandey Meenakshi
Published: August 2024

The embryo and the fetus are surrounded by amniotic fluid during development in utero, and it has various functions. The normal range for Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI) is 8 to 24 cm, with values above and below this indicating polyhydramnios/hydramnios and oligohydramnios, respectively. Borderline oligohydramnios usually refers to
AFIs between 5 to 8 cm. The primary function of amniotic fluid is to protect the fetus. The extremes of volume
may be associated with increased risks for adverse pregnancy outcomes. Here, a primi gravida patient, with a Period of Gestation 37+5 weeks by LMP, came to the out-patient department (OPD) of Prasuti tantra OPD of All
India Institute of Ayurveda, Delhi, on January 25th, 2023, for a routine antenatal checkup with ultrasonography
report showing AFI= 7.1 cm. So, an effort was made to maintain the amniotic fluid volume using Ayurveda medicines (Bala, Shatavari and Yashtimadhu) orally in the form of ksheerapana that resulted in significant improvement in the amniotic fluid volume within a week, and the patient delivered a healthy baby vaginally with spontaneous labour pains at POG 40+2 weeks (by LMP). No sign of fetal distress was seen during labour. APGAR score
was found normal.
Test Construction Practices: A Narrative Inquiry Among English Teachers in Bangladeshi Tertiary Education
Authors: Hossain Ibrahim , Yesmen Chowdhury Dr. Farzana
Published: August 2024

Assessment is a crucial component of the teaching and learning process within any educational setting. Teacher-constructed achievement tests are used as the only means of assessment in many educational contexts. Such tests can measure the attainment of educational objectives, facilitate effective instruction, and provide positive washback. This research employs a narrative inquiry approach to explore the test construction practices and to identify the influencing factors that shape these practices. It explores the lived experiences of a group of novice and experienced English language teachers at the tertiary level in Bangladesh. Individual stories are analysed using Brown and Abeywickrama’s (2010) five language assessment principles. The findings of this study reveal a substantial gap between the principles of test construction and the actual practices and reveal that practices are predominantly shaped by institutional regulations rather than teachers' grasp of assessment theory and techniques. The findings of the study have implications for teachers in constructing practical tests, teacher trainers in designing training modules, and policymakers in developing appropriate assessment policies.

Barreiras ao acesso aos cuidados de saúde em dermatologia pediátrica: uma revisão sistemática
Authors: Azevedo Silvia Karinny Brito Calandrini de , Pasqualotto Amábile Santigo , Sousa Joana Ferreira Silva , Pasqualotto Amábile Santigo
Published: August 2024

Introdução: Barreiras ao acesso aos cuidados de saúde são fatores que impedem um paciente ou um conjunto de pacientes de obter os cuidados médicos necessários. Estas barreiras são multifatoriais e, em alguns casos, podem manifestar ou propagar uma desigualdade de saúde existente. As barreiras ao acesso ao cuidado de saúde podem ser categorizadas como barreiras sistêmicas, socioculturais ou individuais. Materiais, sujeitos e métodos: Para a elaboração deste artigo de revisão foram consultados artigos científicos e artigos de revisão publicados e referenciados na Medline/PubMED, SciELO e Cochrane dos últimos 10 anos. Resultados e discussão: As barreiras sistêmicas encontradas incluem finanças, tempos de espera e geografia. As barreiras socioculturais incluíam crenças culturais e comunicação. E as barreiras individuais surgem das percepções, crenças e conhecimentos dos pacientes e a não compreensão do papel do dermatologista. Os pacientes pediátricos provavelmente enfrentam barreiras únicas adicionais devido a fatores como a dependência de cuidadores e a disponibilidade local de dermatologistas pediátricos. O pequeno número e o escopo limitado de estudos encontrados sugerem que são necessárias pesquisas adicionais para caracterizar melhor as barreiras aos cuidados dermatológicos, bem como o impacto de quaisquer intervenções destinadas a superá-las. Conclusão: É fundamental que a população pediátrica não encontre barreiras aos atendimentos, sejam elas geográficas, financeiras, culturais, políticas, físicas, organizacionais ou de linguagem. Garantir acesso a serviços de qualidade é uma das mais destacadas responsabilidades dos sistemas públicos universais de saúde, na perspectiva de viabilizar ações de promoção de saúde e prevenção de agravos.

Authors: Pinho Thainá Lopes , Rezende Amanda Pires de , Reis Beatriz Vinhaes dos , Jales Daniela Teixeira
Published: August 2024

Introdução: O trabalho de parto prematuro (TPP) é uma complicação da gravidez e importante causa de morbimortalidade neonatal. A etiopatogenia é multifatorial, variando entre fatores de riscos biológicos – maternos e fetais – e ambientais. O diagnóstico precoce e o manejo adequado são fundamentais para um bom desfecho, diminuindo o impacto negativo ao recém-nascido e à família. Este artigo tem por objetivo revisar o conhecimento atual sobre as principais estratégias existentes na prevenção do parto prematuro. Materiais, sujeitos e métodos: Foram consultados artigos científicos e de revisão publicados e referenciados na Medline/PubMed, SciELO e Cochrane entre 2005 e 2023. Resultados e discussão: As evidências mostram uma forte correlação entre intervenções multidisciplinares e sociais na prevenção do nascimento prematuro, não havendo uma abordagem única. As intervenções médicas, odontológicas e nutricionais incluem a prestação de cuidados obstétricos peri e pré-natais holísticos às mulheres. Considerações finais: Na prevenção do TPP, devido à multifatoriedade, são eficazes as estratégias preventivas que conciliam planos biopsicossociais, antes e durante o trabalho de parto. Compreender as principais causas da prematuridade é um passo significativo para estabelecer quais intervenções devem ser aplicadas, abordando os efeitos negativos dos determinantes sociais da doença e reduzindo a taxa de nascimentos prematuros em nível individual e populacional.

Published: August 2024

A pandemia do SARS-CoV-2 gerou uma busca intensiva por medidas de prevenção, tratamento e redução das complicações associadas ao COVID-19. A descoberta e implementação da vacinação em larga escala desempenharam um papel crucial na redução da gravidade da doença e na melhoria do prognóstico (AKBANDAK, 2022). No entanto, o aumento de casos de Herpes Zóster após a imunização contra a COVID-19 suscitou preocupações e motivou pesquisas sobre uma possível relação entre a vacina e a doença provocada pelo vírus da Varicela Zóster. Este artigo apresenta uma revisão da literatura atual sobre a associação entre Herpes Zóster e vacinação contra o SARS-CoV-2. Para a elaboração deste artigo de revisão foram consultados artigos científicos e artigos de revisão publicados e referenciados na Medline/PubMED e SciELO entre 2021 e maio de 2024. A correlação entre a vacina do COVID-19 e o desenvolvimento de Herpes Zóster apresentou divergências entre os estudos abordados nessa revisão. Fatores como a quantidade de doses administradas, o número e características dos participantes foram apontados como possíveis fontes de viés nos resultados. COVID-19, os autores concordaram unanimemente sobre a necessidade de mais pesquisas para esclarecer essa possível associação. Portanto, são necessários estudos adicionais para entender completamente a relação entre a vacinação contra o SARS-CoV-2 e o risco de desenvolver Herpes Zóster.

This study investigates the barriers faced by businesses in participating in carbon trading through the Indonesia Carbon Exchange (IDXCarbon). Although Indonesia has committed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 31.89% with national efforts and 43.20% with international assistance, participation in IDXCarbon is still limited. Using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, this study identifies and ranks barriers based on expert evaluation in four main criteria: Impact on Risk Management and Uncertainty; Impact on Business Operation and Strategy; Impact on Financial and Profitability, and Impact on Regulatory Compliance and Stakeholder Engagement. The main barriers identified were Concern Over Loss of Sustained Revenue; Lack of Company Understanding and Capability; Additional Explicit Costs; Bureaucratic Complexity; Low Level of Transparency; and Limited Trading Volume. The results of this study are expected to guide policymakers and business leaders in improving their effectiveness and participation in carbon trading, thereby contributing to Indonesia’s ambitious emissions reduction targets.

Influencing daily functioning, mental well-being, and overall quality of life, sleep quality is crucial to human physiology. Medical students, facing intense academic demands, often grapple with sleep disturbances, impairing their performance. This study at the University of Lusaka delves into the relationship between sleep hygiene, quality of life, and academic performance, drawing insights from esteemed organizations like the Institute of Medicine Committee on Sleep Medicine and Research (2006) and the World Health Organization (1999). Alarming results show 44.23% of students had poor sleep, averaging 6.7±1.6 hours. These challenges affected attention and cognitive functions adversely. Urgent interventions focusing on sleep quality and overall well-being are imperative, promising improved attendance, attention, and academic accomplishments, nurturing a healthier learning atmosphere and holistic student growth. The main objective of the study will be to investigate the relationship between sleep hygiene practices, quality of life and academic performance of medical students at the University of Lusaka in Zambia. The study had a sample of 497 participants that included diverse young adults (32.2% aged 18-25, 59.4% aged 26-35) with balanced gender representation (40.8% male, 59.2% female). Highest participation was noted in the lower academic year, Year 111 (17.9%). Prevalent issues in sleep hygiene (irregular schedules – 49.3%, excessive daytime napping – 58.4%) and stress-related factors (60.2%) affected participants. Positive social satisfaction (43.3% rated as 4) and effective stress management (36.4% rated as 5) were observed. Burnout was common (75.9% sometimes, 16.7% frequently), highlighting the need for mental health support. Participants showed dedicated study habits (55.5% studied 4-6 hours daily) and achieved notable academic results (39.6% received B+ in previous exams). Interventions addressing sleep hygiene, stress, and mental health are crucial for enhancing well-being and academic success. In conclusion, this study sheds light on the critical issue of poor sleep hygiene among medical students at the University of Lusaka, revealing its detrimental impact on their academic performance. The findings underscore the urgent need for comprehensive interventions tailored to enhance students’ sleep hygiene and overall well-being.
Audit Quality and Auditors' Party Membership: An Insightful Viewpoint into Financial Restatements
Authors: Lee Cheng-Wen , Cheng Min-Ying
Published: August 2024

Abstract

This study aims to explore the impact of communist culture as a variable in auditing research. We focus on auditors' party membership and how it empirically influences party culture in audit firms and, in turn, audit quality. Using financial restatements as a proxy variable for audit quality, our results indicate that auditors who are members of the party demonstrate higher audit quality. Our robustness test, using non-discretionary accruals as an alternative proxy for audit quality, consistently supports these findings. Additionally, we observe that the enhancing effect of party culture on audit quality is less significant for Big4 auditors and auditors with industry expertise, who already possess strong reputational constraints. Our findings suggest that party culture in audit firms, as an informal institution, can compensate for the deficiencies of formal institutions, particularly in areas where audit reputation mechanisms are relatively weak, thus significantly contributing to improving audit quality.

Keywords: BIG4, CPA, Party membership, Audit quality, Financial restatements.
Impact of agroecological technologies on energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emission in a livestock system in Chiapas, Mexico
Authors: Molina Luis , Pinto René , Guevara Francisco , La O Manuel , Raj Deb , Berrones Roberto
Published: August 2024

To mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the agricultural sector, it is necessary to propose alternatives based on a systemic vision and agroecological principles that allow for more efficient use of energy within the systems. The objective of this study was to evaluate three agroecological technologies by quantifying energy use and its relationship with GHG emissions and mitigation, to contribute to the sustainable management of a livestock system in Frailesca, Chiapas, Mexico. An ex-post facto study was conducted to establish five technological scenarios, based on combinations of the use of the three agroecological technologies, to calculate energy efficiency (EE) and estimate GHG, for which energy equivalences of the inputs and outputs of the production system were used. For the livestock system with conventional management, the energy efficiency was 0.63, generating a GHG emission of 93,153.96 kg of CO2eq in a period of six months; By incorporating combinations of the three agroecological technologies (compost, bio slurry and silvopastoral system) the energy efficiency increased to 0.82 and the GHG emission decreased to 71,523.63 kg of CO2eq. It is concluded that these agroecological technologies can be implemented in livestock systems in Chiapas, Mexico to contribute to the mitigation of GHG.
Keywords: Energy efficiency, greenhouse gases, livestock.

Authors: Merabti Salem , Guelmine Layachi , Afkir Mohamed , Fekir Zineddine
Published: August 2024

As paredes de cisalhamento de concreto armado em forma de L são altamente valorizadas na arquitetura moderna por sua capacidade de suportar cargas laterais. No entanto, a incorporação de aberturas, necessárias por razões funcionais, pode comprometer sua integridade estrutural. Nosso estudo investiga os efeitos das aberturas desalinhadas nas tensões de compressão, tração e cisalhamento nessas paredes, com o objetivo de fornecer recomendações de design. Também analisamos as forças de cisalhamento e os deslocamentos no topo de edifícios com várias configurações de abertura por meio de simulações numéricas realizadas em estruturas de dez andares. Os resultados indicam que as tensões de cisalhamento aumentam quando as aberturas estão fora do centro. No entanto, independentemente da sua posição, a proporção ideal de aberturas é de 30% da superfície da parede de cisalhamento.

Anomaly Detection in Network Traffic Using Unsupervised Machine Learning
Authors: Dipali Paradhi  , Mehjabeen Naghma Ansari  , Sharmila More
Published: August 2024

With the increasing complexity and volume of network traffic, the detection of anomalies has become crucial for maintaining the security and efficiency of computer networks. Traditional rule-based methods often struggle to keep pace with the evolving nature of Cyber threats. In this paper, we propose utilizing unsupervised machine learning techniques for anomaly detection in network traffic. We explore various algorithms including k-means clustering, Isolation Forest, and auto encoders to identify abnormal patterns within network data without the need for labeled examples. Our experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of these approaches in detecting anomalies accurately and efficiently. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges and opportunities in deploying unsupervised machine learning for network anomaly detection in real-world scenarios. This research contributes to the advancement of Cyber security by providing novel methodologies for detecting suspicious activities within network traffic data, thereby enhancing the resilience of computer networks against emerging threats. Unsupervised methods, such as clustering algorithms like k-means or density-based techniques like DB-SCAN, can detect deviations from
normal patterns in network traffic, indicating potential intrusions or anomalies. These systems analyze various features of network traffic, such as packet headers, traffic volume, and protocol behavior, to identify suspicious activity. However, they may also generate false positives and require careful tuning to balance detection accuracy and performance
Dunhuang Religious Texts from Dialectal, Typological and Socio-Linguistic Point of View
Authors: Алексанян Армен Гургенович
Published: August 2024

В статье предпринимается попытка дать предварительную характеристику языка китайских религиозных текстов из Дуньхуана по трем аспектам: диалектному, типологическому и социолингвистическому. Соответственно, язык этих текстов можно определить как северо-западный диалект (или диалекты) среднекитайского языка, типологически являющегося т.н. «буддийским гибридным китайским» и определяемого с социолингвистической точки зрения как «религиолект» - социальный диалект этнической и конфессиональной группы. Тексты сохраняют все специфические черты, характерные для т.н. среднекитайского языка, включая фонетические и грамматические особенности.

This paper attempts to give a tentative description of some specific features of the language of some Dunhuang religious texts from the threesome points of view: dialectal, typological and socio-linguistic. Accordingly, we can define the nature of this language as follows: from dialectological point of view it can be described as one of the dialect varieties of Northwestern Middle Chinese; typologically it fits the definition of Buddhist Hybrid Chinese; and from the socio-linguistic point of view it can be defined as a religiolect, i.e. a sociolect of an ethnic and religious group. This language possesses all phonetic and grammatical features, which are usual for the so-called Middle Chinese.
As etnoantropologias e a pluralidade dos modos terranos de existir e habitar diferentes espaços
Authors: Severino Filho João , Alves da Silva Adailton
Published: August 2024

Esse texto foi produzido na perspectiva de responder inquietações ou provocações desencadeadas durante o caminhar do ensino, pesquisa e extensão que temos desenvolvido, no campo da Educação Matemática, nos últimos 10 anos e que, nesta ocasião, pretendemos compartilhar com os leitores da Revista Eletrônica de Educação Matemática – REVEMAT, na edição especial, denominada Antropologias e Educações Matemáticas: diálogos (im)pertinentes. Nossas ideias foram organizadas e expostas de modo a discutir o tema proposto a partir do nosso entendimento sobre as novas antropologias críticas e as educações matemáticas em um diálogo mediado pela Educação Etnomatemática, que discute a sala de aula como espaço das alteridades, concebendo cada aluno como um ente cultural de sua família e seu bairro. Evidenciamos a importância do movimento indígena na busca do conhecimento e apropriação de instrumentos e técnicas de estudos e pesquisas sobre os contextos habitados por eles e por outros povos e argumentamos que a formação e atuação dos pesquisadores indígenas sobre a própria cultura, na relação com as outras, pode se tratar de uma virada ontológica das ciências humanas, quando provavelmente farão importantes atualizações ou revisões sobre o que foi descrito até a atualidade a respeito do mundo produzido e habitado por eles. Finalizamos defendendo a possibilidade de serem eles, povos terranos ameríndios a nos ensinar e inspirar sobre seus modos de existir e habitar o planeta em verdadeira simbiose com os demais seres vivos e espirituais, como forma de mitigação dos efeitos do Antropoceno.
Pós-Humanismo e educação matemática: incursões e desafios da história na era do antropoceno
Authors: Da Silva Heloisa , De Souza Luzia Aparecida
Published: August 2024

Neste artigo buscamos afirmar o Pós-Humanismo crítico como uma possibilidade potente para a abordagem historiográfica da/na Educação Matemática. Para tanto, mobilizamos textos de autores/as que se alinham à perspectiva trabalhada por Karen Barad na direção de explicitar algumas das linhas que têm orientado nossas questões em pesquisas na História da Educação Matemática. Trata-se de um exercício teórico que sinaliza para o desafio da historiografia em considerar um tempo histórico em outros termos que não processuais desenvolvimentais, mas difrativos, em descentrar radicalmente os humanos e posicionar nossas ações nos emaranhados multiespécies e na configuração de tempos múltiplos. Sobretudo, aponta uma filosofia da história que abre mão da singularidade conceitual generalizante de teorias com seus efeitos (geo)políticos e se coloca a “permanecer com o problema”, figurando maneiras de habitar o mundo (ou suas ruínas) de forma aberta e diversa.

Emotions, Moral Formation, and Christian Politics
Authors: Cahill Jonathan M.
Published: August 2024

This volume addresses the social-relational nature of moral formation, emotions, and moral agency.Drawing on Barth’s theological anthropology and his relational conception of the self, Cahill argues that Barth envisions moral progress as rooted in the growth of the community. Cahill also explores Barth’s view of emotion in conversation with the study of emotions in psychology, sociology, neuroscience, and philosophy.

Building on Barth and these other disciplines Cahill argues for a relational and cognitive conception of emotions while highlighting emotions’ critical role in regulating group and social relations. Emotions are fundamental to interpersonal interactions, to group relations, and for the reinforcement and disruption of social structures. This account of moral formation and emotion is illustrated through the example of climate change. A community shaped by love for God, solidarity with other creatures, and a concern for all of creation leads to an awareness of hegemonic forces and fosters emotions shaped by the kingdom of God that enables the struggle for climate justice.
The Brass Band of the King
Authors: Adjemian Boris
Published: August 2024

In 1924, the crown prince and future emperor of Ethiopia, Ras Täfäri, on a visit to Jerusalem, called on forty Armenian orphans who had survived the genocide of 1915-1916 to form his empire's royal brass band. The conductor, who was also Armenian, composed the first official anthem of the Ethiopian state.

Drawing on this highly symbolic event, and following the history of the small Armenian community in Ethiopia, in this book Boris Adjemian shows how it operated on the margins of political society, hiding in its interstices, preferring intimacy and discreet loyalty to the glitter of open politics. The astonishing role of the Armenians in their host country was embodied in the friendship that the kings and queens of Ethiopia extended to them, a theme that is echoed in the life stories collected from their descendants.

Bringing to light the political and cultural importance of a community that has long been ignored and has almost vanished, this study draws on the collective memory of Armenian immigration and the centuries-long history of proximity between the Armenian and Ethiopian Churches. The author argues for a sedentary approach to the diaspora, for a socio-history of this collective rootedness, which dates back to the 19th century and builds on historical representations of otherness from the early modern period up to the colonial era. Highlighting stateless immigrants halfway between the national and the foreign, this history reveals the agency of stateless immigrants and their descendants, their ability to play with identities and undermine assigned belongings.

The Brass Band of the Kingis an original exploration of the social making of nationhood and foreignness in Africa and elsewhere.
Cannabis, Sacred and Profane
Authors: Partridge Christopher
Published: August 2024

Focussing on the ways in which cannabis has been demonized, sacralized and normalized, Christopher Partridge analyses the complex and often difficult relationship Western societies have had with the plant since the nineteenth century.

After an introduction to cannabis and its uses, the book discusses how and why it was constructed as a profane influence and a marker of deviance. It then examines the emergence of medicinal cannabis, showing how this has contributed to its normalization and even its sacralization. Finally, there is a discussion of sacred cannabis, which looks at its use within modern occultism, Rastafari and several cannabis churches.

Overall, the book provides a cultural history of cannabis in the modern world, which exposes the underlying reasons for the various and changing attitudes to this popular psychoactive substance.

Cannabis is arguably the most popular illicit psychoactive substance in the world. It is also one of the oldest cultivated, multipurpose plants. Whether we think of its use in rope and cloth, in building materials, in medicinal preparations, in food and drink, as a magico-religious aid, or as a recreational intoxicant, throughout history, somewhere on the planet, humans have been weaving, twisting, compressing, rolling, baking, eating, drinking, and smoking cannabis. However, for much of the modern period in Western societies, our relationship with cannabis has been increasingly complex and difficult. It has been demonized, sacralized, and normalized. After introducing cannabis and the ways in which it has been used in Western societies, drawing on work done in cultural sociology, this book addresses three broad areas. Firstly, in a discussion of cannabis as profane, it examines discourses of demonization and the formative influences on those discourses, not least Christianity and racism. Secondly, it looks at the emergence of medicinal cannabis since the nineteenth century and the ways in which this has contributed both to its normalization and to its sacralization. Finally, the book concludes with a discussion of sacred cannabis, focusing particularly on its sacramental use within occultism, Rastafari, and several cannabis churches. The deceptively straightforward aim of the book is to provide an understanding of cannabis and its relationship to modern Western culture.
Metamodernism and the Postdigital in the Contemporary Novel
Authors: Jordan Spencer
Published: August 2024

Drawing on a range of authors that includes Zadie Smith, Sally Rooney, Ben Lerner, Ali Smith, Tom McCarthy, Jennifer Egan and Kazuo Ishiguro, this book provides an innovative and original analysis of the interdependencies between digital technology and metamodernism through a detailed study of the contemporary novel.

We are currently living through a period of profound rupture, in which the way the world is perceived is undergoing significant change. Just as the interplay between capitalism and technology hastened the evolution of modernism and postmodernism, then so too are those same forces now taking us into uncharted waters. In an increasingly fragile world, in which the very existence of humankind is threatened, it is vital that we begin to understand this new landscape.
The Language of Cyber Attacks
Authors: Mauro Aaron
Published: August 2024

Many cyberattacks begin with a lure: a seemingly innocent message designed to establish trust with a target to obtain sensitive information or compromise a computer system. The perils of clicking an unknown link or divulging sensitive information via email are well-known, so why do we continue to fall prey to these malicious messages?This groundbreaking book examines the rhetoric of deception through the lure, asking where its all-too-human allure comes from and suggesting ways in which we can protect ourselves online.

Examining practices and tools such as phishing, ransomware and clickbait, this book uses case studies of notorious cyberattacks by both cyber criminals and nation-states on organizations such Facebook, Google, and the US Department of Defence, and in-depth, computational analyses of the messages themselves to unpack the rhetoric of cyberattacks. In doing so, it helps us to understand the small but crucial moments of indecision that pervade one of the most common forms of written communication.
Cognitive Grammar in Stylistics
Authors: Giovanelli Marcello , Harrison Chloe
Published: August 2024

Providing an engaging, accessible and practically-focused introduction to cognitive grammar, this book demonstrates how central cognitive grammar principles can be used in stylistic analyses.Assuming no prior knowledge, it leads students through the basics of cognitive grammar, outlining its place within the field of cognitive linguistics as a whole, providing clear explanations of key principles and concepts, and explaining how these can be used to support the study of a range of literary and non-literary texts.

Thoroughly updated throughout to encompass emerging trends in the field, this second edition features:

- Increased exploration of a range of topics, including specificity and definiteness, scanning, perfective and imperfective verbs, action chains, and subjective and objective construal - A brand new chapter on extended projects in cognitive grammar - Additional activities, including on a wider range of literary texts - Further solutions to modelled answers - Updated examples, references, and further reading recommendations

Languages of Australia’s First Peoples in Narrative
Authors: Rose David
Published: August 2024

Celebrating the diverse languages of Australia’s First Peoples, this book presents stories told by elders in eighteen languages from around the continent, and explores their patterns of meaning.

The stories recount the experiences of the tellers and histories of their communities, from tales of anti-colonial resistance to origin stories of the Dreaming. The book aims to make the languages accessible and engaging through the voices of the elders, while building readers’ knowledge about language and language learning. It opens with some basic language knowledge for reading the stories. Each chapter then begins with the cultural and historical contexts of the stories, which are first previewed in English translation, then presented sentence-by-sentence, setting out the original sounds and wordings, glossed with plain English. Extracts are selected to illustrate patterns of meanings that are characteristic of each language. The final chapter sums up the various meaning patterns the stories use, and interprets their evolution in the light of First Peoples’ deep histories, as recorded by archaeology and traditional knowledge. The book will be useful for language learning programs in communities and schools, for researchers of language and language teaching, and for any reader with an interest in the languages and cultures of Australia’s First Peoples.
