Authors: Akbar Andry Maulana , Fuadi Wahyu , Nunsina Nunsina
Published: February 2025

The attendance system is an essential element in the academic environment to ensure lecturer attendance in the lecture process. However, the manual attendance method still has various weaknesses, such as the potential for data manipulation and inefficiency in recording attendance. To overcome these problems, this research designs and implements an Internet of Things (IoT)-based lecturer attendance system using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) sensors integrated with the Telegram application. The research method includes hardware design with ESP32 microcontroller, ESP32-CAM, RFID sensor, and HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor. This system works by detecting lecturer attendance through RFID cards confirmed by ESP32, taking pictures with ESP32-CAM, and sending automatic notifications via the Telegram bot. Lecturer attendance data is then stored in a web-based database to facilitate the monitoring and evaluation. The test results show that the developed system can detect and record lecturer attendance accurately, with the response speed of the RFID sensor in reading cards ranging from 1-5 cm. The ultrasonic sensor also successfully detects objects accurately within a predetermined distance range. Lecturer attendance notifications sent via Telegram allow administrators to conduct real-time monitoring. With this IoT-based attendance system, the attendance recording process becomes more efficient and transparent and can reduce the risk of data manipulation. Further development can be done by adding data encryption and biometric authentication features to improve system security.

Published: February 2025

The final project is a crucial requirement for students to complete their studies. At STMIK Jayakarta, the final project monitoring process is still conducted manually using Google Classroom, Google Forms, and WhatsApp. This approach leads to difficulty tracking student progress, data security vulnerabilities, data loss risks, and communication challenges. This study's primary objective is to design a comprehensive web-based monitoring information system that integrates the final project process, from initial registration and guidance to the thesis defence and issuance of the provisional graduation letter. The research design focuses on system modelling, and the Unified Modeling Language (UML) methodology is employed to define system requirements and structure the system's design. The primary outcomes include a detailed system architecture that addresses efficiency, transparency, and accuracy in final project management. The results indicate that this web-based system will significantly improve manual methods, offering better tracking, security, and communication capabilities. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that the proposed system design can serve as a strong foundation for developing a fully functional application, enhancing the effectiveness and transparency of final project management for all stakeholders.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination program in Indonesia has been implemented as a key strategy to mitigate the spread of the virus within communities. The success of this program depends on public acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines, including booster doses. The aim of this study was to assess the acceptance of the COVID-19 booster dose in Indonesia and to identify factors influencing individuals' acceptance. A cross-sectional study was conducted across 34 provinces in Indonesia on June 2023. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the factors associated with booster dose uptake. The findings revealed that 88.8% (2,049/2,308) of respondents were willing to receive a booster dose if provided free of charge by the Indonesian government. However, acceptance decreased to 61.7% when respondents were informed of a 20% likelihood of side effects, even with a reported 95% vaccine efficacy. Adjusted logistic regression analysis identified ten significant factors associated with booster dose acceptance: sex, age, religion, history of previous COVID-19 infection, type of primary vaccine received, belief in vaccine-related conspiracy theories, trust in traditional medicine conspiracies, confidence in natural immunity, perceived vaccine efficacy, and perceived vaccine effectiveness. These findings suggest that acceptance of COVID-19 booster doses in Indonesia is influenced by intrinsic and extrinsic factors, including limited knowledge of booster dose benefits and concerns about potential side effects. To enhance public acceptance, targeted health campaigns and educational initiatives should be intensified, emphasizing the safety, efficacy, and importance of booster vaccinations in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic.
Empathy in Theory and Practice: The Transformative Potential of Nonviolent Communication
Authors: Upasana Upasana
Published: February 2025

This review is a critical examination of the tenets and suggestions of the book, Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life by Dr. Marshall B. Rosenberg. The book offers a conceptualisation of both empathy and communication, not as mere skills, but as practices to internalise and embody in order to better improve relationships at the intrapersonal, interpersonal and even intergroup levels. Through actionable insights, examples, and exercises, the book lays out the common barriers to effective communication and the components of nonviolent communication. While its accessibility and comprehensibility in terms of explanations are its strength, it is limited by the lack of empirical evidence and questionable cross-cultural applicability due to the absence of engagement with power and resistance in different contexts. Through an analysis of contemporary research evidence testing the model as well as insights from humanistic and positive psychology, this review offers a comprehensive inquiry into the book and its relevance today for improving communication and resolving conflicts.

Published: February 2025

Background: Youth make up a large, important, and rapidly growing segment of Ethiopia’s population, but they account for a disproportionately high proportion of the country’s unmet reproductive health needs. Promoting comprehensive youth-friendly services is critical for assisting young people in making responsible reproductive Health decisions and empowering them to follow through on those decisions. Great majority of youths in school are undeserved for utilizing users’ friendly services due to lack of awareness to the service, poor communication on reproductive health issues and inadequate service and counselling specifically targeted for this specific youth group.

Objective: To assess of youth friendly sexual and reproductive health service utilization among preparatory schools students in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Methods: The school based cross-sectional study with qualitative approach was conducted to evaluating YFRHS utilization and related factors among Addis Ababa city preparatory school students. From April 2021 to July 2021 the data collection was carried out. Multistage clusters sampling technique was used on a total of 695 sampled students by proportionally allocated to the selected government and private school. Logistic regression analysis performed on important predictor variables and odds ratio was used to determine the factors that predict the utilization of YFRHS with p- value of < 0.05 as measure of statistical.

Result: The study participants were 695 students, with 100% response rate. Only 73(11%) of students had ever used the service in the past twelve months, among them most of the respondent 572(82.3%) had heard about YFRHS, More than half of the study participant 443(63%) had knew where they could find YFRHS delivered. According to this study the main factors that affecting utilization of youth friendly reproduction health service was the study participants altitude which was negative toward the importance of YFRHS it was manifested through qualitative study.

Conclusion and recommendation: The study result shows low utilization of reproductive health service among the participant student due to negative attitude and benign less awareness about usefulness of youth friendly reproductive health service, the stake-holder should give more focus than ever on the YFRHS implementation and follow the service provided under YFRHS.
Uluslararası İlişkilerde Teori Öğretimini Yeniden Düşünmek: Eleştirel Pedagojiler Temelinde Bir İnceleme
Authors: Söker Çağlar
Published: February 2025

Bu makalede, Uluslararası İlişkilerde teori öğretimi eleştirel pedagojiler çerçevesinde incelenmiştir. Eleştirel pedagojiler, öncelikle eğitimin, öğrenmenin ve üniversitenin neliği üzerine düşünerek yola çıkarlar. Bu konuda sorgulamalar yapmak, teori öğretiminde özgürleştirici ve yaratıcı yaklaşımlar geliştirebilmenin de ön koşuludur. Eğitimin ve üniversitenin ontolojisi üzerine düşünmek; öğretimin ideolojik yönlerini anlamak, teori-iktidar ilişkilerini keşfetmek ve teorilerdeki Batı’nın, devletin, sermayenin etkilerini görmek için fırsatlar sunar. Bu bağlamda eleştirel pedagojiler, teori öğretimini özgürlük, eşitlik ve adalet gibi değerler temelinde etik açıdan sorgulamak için imkânlar yaratır. Aynı zamanda eleştirel pedagojiler, teori öğretiminde kurumsallaşmış yolların ötesine geçme noktasında yeni bakış açıları kazandırır. Teori derslerinde tarihin ve felsefenin rolünü artırmak ya da insani ve ekolojik değerleri derslerde farklı açılardan tartışmak, öğrencilerin yalnızca teori nosyonunu ve mevcut teorileri kavramalarına değil; günümüzün küresel sorunlarını kuramsallaştırmalarına ve onların çözümüne dair bakış açıları geliştirmelerine yardımcı olur. Bunun yanı sıra, öğretimde yeni yöntemler ve teknikler üzerine düşünmek ve lisansüstü düzeyde pedagoji ile ilgili dersler açmak gibi adımlar, Uluslararası İlişkilerde daha eleştirel teori öğretimi için katkılar sağlayabilir. Ayrıca teori derslerinde, geleceğe yönelik “umutlu” bir perspektife sahip olmak hem yarının teorisyenlerinin daha özgün yaklaşımlar geliştirmeleri hem de daha iyi bir dünyanın inşası için önemlidir. Bu açıdan eleştirel bir iyimserlik, bugünkü haliyle uluslararası ilişkilere mahkûm olmadığımızı ve geleceğin, mevcut teorilerin öngördüğünden çok daha zengin olduğunu göstermek açısından en yapıcı tutumdur.

Published: February 2025

Diabetes mellitus impairs immune defenses, increasing susceptibility to infections. This study examined aspergillosis pathology in alloxan-induced diabetic New Zealand White rabbits. Rabbits (3 months old, 1–1.5 kg) were divided into three groups: Group I (Control, n=6), Group II (Infected Diabetic, n=10), and Group III (Infected Control, n=10). Diabetes was induced with alloxan (100 mg/kg, b.w., i.v.), and infected groups were challenged on day 7 with a chicken isolate of Aspergillus flavus (10⁴ spores/rabbit). Blood glucose was monitored weekly, and pathology was assessed at 2, 4, 6, and, 7 weeks post-infection. Fungal infection was confirmed via smear examination and pathogen re-isolation. Hyperglycemia resulted in increased susceptibility to A. flavus, with diabetic rabbits showing severe hyphal proliferation and reduced inflammatory responses. Normoglycemic rabbits displayed milder hyphal growth but more intense inflammation. The study concluded that diabetes promotes the establishment and dissemination of A. flavus, characterized by angioinvasion, widespread hyphal growth, and necrotizing granulomas with sparse inflammation, underscoring the enhanced risk of invasive fungal infections in diabetic hosts.

O questionamento que guia esta pesquisa versa sobre quais são as Tecnologias Assistivas (TA) empregadas nos últimos anos em ambientes educacionais para alunos com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA), e quais as melhorias que estas tecnologias podem proporcionar? Buscando responder o referido problema, objetiva-se realizar uma Revisão Sistemática (RS) para investigar o uso de TA, em ambientes educacionais, por alunos com TEA em seus diversos níveis, no período de 2018 a 2023. Utilizou-se a RS em consonância com as recomendações do Protocolo Prisma 2020. Foram empreendidas buscas nas bases de dados: Oasis Portal de Pesquisas, SciELO Brasil, ERIC, Scopus e Web of Science utilizando-se os descritores: “Transtorno do Espectro Autista”; “TEA”; “Autismo” e “Tecnologia Assistiva”, em língua portuguesa e inglesa, para tanto, consideraram-se estudos publicados entre o período de 2018 a 2023. Foram selecionados 14 registros que atendiam os critérios de inclusão, agrupados em duas categorias: a) TA como ferramenta no processo de aprendizagem; e b) TA como facilitadora na aquisição de habilidades que favorecem a aprendizagem. Conclui-se que para o contexto investigado, as pesquisas que fazem uso de TA como ferramenta facilitadora no desenvolvimento de habilidades e competências de alunos com TEA são escassas, e os registros disponíveis indicam que a TA parece proporcionar maior interesse nos alunos em relação às atividades e conteúdos desenvolvidos em sala de aula, por favorecer um ambiente alegre e divertido, fomentar avanços na aquisição da escrita e tempo de concentração, além de reduzir o estresse em ambientes escolares, auxiliando no processo de aprendizagem.

Objetivo: analisar a eficácia da manobra de reposicionamento canalítico (MRC) associada a suplementação da vitamina D na qualidade de vida (QV) de idosos com Vertigem Posicional Paroxística Benigna (VPPB). Métodos: trata-se de um ensaio clínico controlado, quase randomizado, composto por indivíduos com idade igual ou superior a 60 anos, que apresentavam VPPB idiopática. Os participantes foram submetidos à MRC e tiveram os níveis séri-cos de vitamina D mensurados pelo método de quimiluminescência com uso de soro sanguíneo. A QV e da intensidade da tontura foram mensuradas pelo questionário Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) e por uma Escala Visual Analógica (EVA), respectivamente. Os participantes que apresentaram hipovi-taminose D e VPPB no início do estudo receberam a MRC e foram divididos alternadamente em dois grupos: “HipoD-Sup” e “HipoD”. Os participantes do “HipoD-Sup” receberam suplementação da vitamina D (2.000 UI/dia) e o gru-po “HipoD” não receberam a suplementação. Os participantes com VPPB que não apresentaram hipovitaminose D compuseram o grupo “Controle” e rece-beram somente a MRC. Todos os grupos foram avaliados após a MRC e de-pois de doze semanas (tempo da suplementação do “HipoD-Sup”) todos os grupos foram reavaliados quanto à QV e intensidade da tontura. Reavaliou-se também os níveis séricos de vitamina D dos grupos “HipoD-Sup” e “HipoD”. Para a análise descritiva, foram utilizados valores de mediana, intervalo inter-quartil (IQR), e frequências absolutas e relativas. O efeito das intervenções foi avaliado pelo teste de Wilcoxon para dados pareados, com cálculo do tama-nho do efeito (r de Rosenthal). A comparação entre os grupos foi realizada pelo teste de Kruskal-Wallis com base nos valores delta, sendo o tamanho do efeito calculado pelo épsilon quadrado (ε²). A correlação de Spearman foi uti-lizada, com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: foram incluídos 34 parti-cipantes com idade média de 70,06±6,68 anos, com predominância de mu-lheres em todos os grupos. No grupo “HipoD-Sup” (n=12), houve aumento significativo nos níveis de vitamina D após a suplementação (P<0,001), com grande efeito (r=0,883), enquanto o grupo “HipoD” (n=11) não apresentou alterações. Em todos os grupos a intensidade da tontura foi reduzida significa-tivamente (P<0,05), bem como, houve melhora nas dimensões do DHI, refle-tindo em QV superior, sem diferenças estatísticas entre si. Conclusão: a MRC contribuiu para a redução da tontura e melhora da QV dos participantes, in-dependente do grupo em que estavam alocados, no período de 12 semanas.

Understanding Partner Selection for Cooperation
Authors:   , Matej Hrkalovic Tiffany
Published: February 2025

Human cooperation has long been recognized as a cornerstone of social success and well-being, serving essential roles from overcoming challenges to fostering communal resilience. For several decades, research across disciplines has examined the mechanisms and benefits of cooperation. Currently, this interest is becoming increasingly relevant in computational fields. As intelligent systems start to be envisioned to act in various roles, including decision-support systems and social catalysts, there is a shift toward designing intelligent systems that not only act in synergy with other humans but also support human-human interactions. For instance, such systems can potentially help us improve the way we interact with each other, play a key role in facilitating and maintaining the quality of joint tasks, and potentially support us by helping us select suitable partners for joint endeavors. However, to develop intelligent systems that effectively serve as social catalysts or decision-making support systems in social settings, these systems must grasp and engage with the core processes that underlie human social interactions. This entails recognizing and interpreting both verbal and nonverbal behaviors and understanding how these cues relate to complex social phenomena, such as partner selection, comprehending human preferences in partner choice, and detecting underlying relational dynamics. The core proposition of this thesis is that, to design intelligent systems capable of fostering cooperation, it is first necessary to deepen our understanding of how people initiate cooperative behavior and choose partners for such tasks. However, there remains a significant gap in empirical research that designers could utilize as a foundational resource to understand how these elements contribute to cooperative initiation and unfold within human-to-human interactions. Therefore, this thesis aims to provide empirical contributions that offer insights and resources to guide the development of socially intelligent support systems.

Authors: Quinchuela Jorge , Mosquera Ricardo , Arcentales Karla , Velastegui Genesis , Larrea Nicolas , Remache Veronica
Published: February 2025

Introduction: The incidence of renal disease in patients who have received a hematopoietic stem cell transplant is relatively low. However, nephrotic syndrome occurs in some patients, and membranous nephropathy is the most common cause.
Clinical case: A 58-year-old woman diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia was treated with nilotinib. She underwent an allogeneic bone marrow transplant with 100% HLA compatibility. Six months after the bone marrow transplant, she developed graft-versus-host disease affecting the mouth and salivary glands. She received tacrolimus at therapeutic doses. Without improvement, she developed nephrotic syndrome and anasarca.
Diagnostic workshop: Serum creatinine 0.64 mg/dl, albumin 3.58 gr/dl, cholesterol 689 mg/dl, positive antinuclear antibodies. C3 and C4 were standard, ANCA C, P, and Anti DNA were negative, viral serologies for hepatitis B, C, and HIV were negative, 24-hour urine proteinuria was 4.9 g, urine sediment: eumorphic micro hematuria (20-30 red blood cells/field). Renal biopsy was conclusive of membranous glomerulopathy. PLA2R staining (phospholipase A2 receptor type M) was requested, which was positive.
Evolution: The patient received oral prednisone at 1 mg/kg/day for two weeks without remission. Four doses of rituximab 375 mg/m2/week were added. The nephrotic syndrome gradually improved until it wholly resolved after treatment without any sign of relapse of chronic myeloid leukemia.

Indulgensi di Tahun Yubileum

Published: February 2025

Indulgences and the Jubilee Year hold a close connection within the traditions of the Catholic Church. The Jubilee Year is a special period in the Church's calendar, typically celebrated every 25 years, although the Pope may declare an extraordinary Jubilee for significant occasions. During the Jubilee Year, Catholics are invited to engage in repentance, spiritual renewal, and receive special indulgences.
An indulgence itself is the remission of temporal punishment due to sins that have already been forgiven. By obtaining an indulgence, an individual may be freed from part or all of the punishment still owed in this world or in purgatory.
Historically, the Jubilee Year has been a sacred time for receiving God's abundant grace, with the indulgences granted during this period serving to strengthen the faithful in their spiritual journey, emphasizing repentance and affirming their faith in God's mercy.
In the upcoming Jubilee Year of 2025, as outlined in the Bull Spes Non Confundit, indulgences will once again play a significant role, encouraging the faithful to partake in the grace offered by the Church in an atmosphere of renewed faith.
Menilik Kembali Pemikiran Filosofis Aquinas tentang Harapan
Authors: Widyatmoko Satriyo
Published: February 2025

Although Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologiae is a theological treatise, its approach is fundamentally philosophical, as it employs the dialectical method of Plato and applies the principles of Aristotelian syllogistic logic. A renewed examination of Aquinas' thoughts on Hope, as one of the three Theological Virtues in Summa Theologiae, illuminated by Robert Spitzer's explanation of the various levels of happiness, emphasizes that the fullness of human life, particularly when reaching the highest level of happiness, lies in the relationship with the Transcendentals: Goodness, Beauty, and Love. This implies the necessity of self-transcendence for the realization of a truly fulfilled human existence.

Africa's New Energy Producers
Authors: Cooke Jennifer G. , Goldwyn David L.
Published: February 2025

Sub-Saharan Africa is on the verge of an energy boom. New discoveries off the East and West coasts have raised hopes of significant revenues that can accelerate poverty reduction and enhance Africa’s status as a destination for industrial investment. The question that African governments, citizens, and international partners confront is whether this time will—or can—be different. Can the harsh lessons offered by Africa’s more established producers and the continent’s previous energy booms be learned?
The Heart and Mind in Teaching
Authors: Lowery Alyssa Magee , Hayes William
Published: February 2025

The Heart and Mind in Teaching: Pedagogical Styles Through the Ages provides an important historical context for an issue confronting every American teacher, administrator, student, parent, and citizen. As the art of teaching is rapidly replaced by formulas, clinical studies, and one-size-fits-all scientific pedagogy, it is important to ask the question, “How did we get here?” Authors Alyssa Magee Lowery and William Hayes trace the history of teaching from Greek philosophy to twenty-first century educational issues in an effort to provide some perspective in the long art versus science debate, ultimately finding that the two components may be able to coexist peacefully.

The Drive to Learn
Authors: Grove Cornelius N.
Published: February 2025

Countless books and articles have offered remedies for the poor learning outcomes of American schoolchildren. Virtually all of these publications share one thing in common: They propose improvements in the policies and practices controlled by adult educators. Grove believes that our children’s poor learning cannot be totally the fault of educators. Our children are active participants in classrooms, so if there’s a problem with how well our children are learning, then we as parents might be at fault. To discover what our part is and explore what can be done about it, Grove draws on over 100 anthropological studies of children’s learning and child-rearing in China, Japan, and Korea. They reveal that those children, even the youngest ones, are highly receptive to classroom learning. Why do they come into classrooms with attentive and engaged attitudes? How did they acquire the drive to learn? Can American parents benefit from knowing how Chinese, Japanese, and Korean parents think about and carry out child-rearing? The Drive to Learn explores these questions.
Immigrant Youth, Hip Hop, and Online Games
Authors: Franz Barbara
Published: February 2025

Anti-Muslim racism with its attendant xenophobia and (the fear of) Salafist hostility are two of the most essential problems facing Europe today. Both result from the enormous failure of the continent’s integration policies, which have either insisted on immigrants’ rigid assimilation or left immigrants to fend for themselves. This book radically breaks with contemporary approaches to immigrant assimilation and integration. Instead it examines non-institutional approaches that facilitate immigrant inclusion through the examples of three alternative small-scale projects that have impacted the lives of urban working-class youth, specifically with second-generation immigrant roots, in Vienna, Austria. These projects involve online gaming, hip hop as an art form, and social work as emancipatory pedagogic practice (commonly referred to as street work). After exploring historic and structural conditions of marginalization in Austria, the book investigates working-class teenagers’ social networks and describes an online game designed to provide a platform for interaction between non-immigrant and immigrant youth who usually either do not interact or display prejudice when they engage each other. Hip hop can provide both a necessary outlet for alienated youth to articulate their frustrations and a highly effective tool for transforming inclusion conflicts. This is achieved through offering individual teens the necessary means to gain the resilience and social grounding necessary to help overcome exclusion and marginalization. In addition to the individual young person’s agency, the inclusion process, of course, also requires corresponding efforts by the majority society. Social work with marginalized youth is crucial for successful inclusion. Specifically individual support in small-scale settings provides a unique opportunity to open up spaces for discouraged and disaffected teenagers to gain self-worth and dignity. While the book focuses on identity formation and the teenagers’ agency, it argues that only projects that include both “newcomer” and “native” can aid in overcoming exclusionary attitudes and policies, eventually allowing some form of social bonding to take place.
The Tragedy of Antony and Cleopatra
Authors: Zak William F.
Published: February 2025

This revaluation of Shakespeare’s most seductive tragedy, Antony and Cleopatra, allies itself with neither George Bernard Shaw and Philo’s Roman judgment of the lovers as “strumpet and fool”—premised on the idle sensuality and feckless self-regard ever evident in the regal pair—nor with the many at the opposite critical pole who have found themselves swept up, to some extent at least, in the “grand illusion” of the lovers themselves as peerless figures transcending the very deaths to which Caesar’s heartless predation drives them. Nor does it seek some middle way, settling into a comfortable agnosticism that claims the poet’s view of the pair remains too ambiguous to resolve. Instead, by mining a wealth of metaphoric cross-references and ironical, mirroring figurations provided by the tragedy’s subsidiary characterizations, this new analysis argues that Shakespeare’s assessment of the lovers is in fact unambiguous: Antony and Cleopatra unknowingly settle for functioning merely as two more of the play’s eunuchs fanning the flames of their self-destructive passions for one another when they could have realized the new heaven and new earth Antony promised his queen had their “intercourse” with one another been more vigorously complete. Not alone their deaths, but their entire experience is this play is but a search for “easy ways to die” rather than the quest is should have been to live more richly yet and generate new life beyond their respective notorieties as separate individuals to be celebrated.
Critical University
Authors: Loughead Tanya
Published: February 2025

What way forward for the contemporary university? Critical University: Moving Higher Education Forward traverses fields in critical theory (Marcuse, Althusser), psychoanalysis (Kristeva, Freud), phenomenology (Husserl), and the philosophy of education (predominantly Freire and hooks) to analyze the direction forward for the contemporary university. Loughead’s writing style is lucid and accessible, yet provocative. She aims first and foremost for a pedagogical engagement with the reader, avoiding (or explicating clearly) the specialized vocabulary of her discipline. Though this book deals with complex philosophical ideas, its goal is not to merely tease out some abstract philosophical problem, but instead to intervene and provoke new directions in the contemporary discussion of the university in crisis, and to be part of a collection of works inspiring a more just society.
Revisiting Jonestown
Authors: Arturo Nesci Domenico
Published: February 2025

Revisiting Jonestown covers three main topics: the psycho-biography of Jim Jones (the leader of the suicidal community) from the new perspective of Prenatal Psychology and transgenerational trauma, the story of his Peoples Temple, with emphasis on what kind of leadership and membership were responsible for their tragic end, and the interpretation of death rituals by religious cults as regression to primordial stages of human evolution, when a series of genetic mutations changed the destiny of Homo Sapiens, at the dawn of religion and human awareness. A pattern of collective suicide is finally identified, making it possible to foresee and try to prevent its tragic repetition. At the same time, through an artistic editorial work on original images from the Peoples Temple files, a sort of Multimedia Psychotherapy is subliminally delivered in order to help the mourning of the victims of Jonestown, to whose memory the book is dedicated.
Technology Segregation
Authors: Tager Miriam
Published: February 2025

Technology segregation is an ongoing practice within early childhood programs in the United States. This research, which includes two qualitative studies in the Northeast, reveals that school segregation and technology segregation are one in the same. Utilizing critical race theory, as the theoretical framework, this research finds that young Black children are denied technological access directly affecting their learning trajectories. PTO fundraising and other monetary donations to public schools vary by district and neighborhood and are based on segregation. Therefore, structural racism flourishes within these early childhood programs as black students are excluded from another important content area and practice. This book defines the problem of technology segregation in terms of policy, racial hierarchies, funding, residential segregation, and the digital divide. It challenges the racist framework and reveals disruptions (strategies) to counter this deficit discourse based on white supremacy.
