The second part of thepaper focuses on the selection and use of the most common proverbs in the two languages(the paremiological minimum). Criteria for establishing this paremiological mininimum inboth languages is shown, discussing some points of contact and departure between thetwo languages.The author concludes that the treatment of these phraseological units and proverbs inbilingual dictionaries is still inadequate.
La expresión de temporalidad en las subordinadas de subjuntivo en español y árabe: estudio contrastivo y traductológico
Authors: Aarab Abderrahim Aarab
Published: April 2024

En este artículo nos proponemos analizar la expresión temporal en las oraciones de subjuntivo en árabe y español. Se trata de un análisis que se enmarca dentro de la gramática contrastiva árabe-español, que se realiza desde el parámetro de concordancia entre el tiempo del verbo principal (VP) y el del verbo subordinado (VS), atendiendo a las nociones de anterioridad, simultaneidad y posterioridad temporales. Para ello, nos basamos en el examen de un corpus lingüístico formado por subordinadas de subjuntivo árabes, que vamos a analizar y traducir al español. Nuestro objetivo es llegar a generalizaciones lingüísticas aplicables al ámbito de la traducción y de la didáctica en estos dos idiomas.

Cuerpos extraños en exhibición: Las muñecas sexuadas de Hans Bellmer y de Ana Clavel
Authors: Plaza Morales Natalia
Published: April 2024

El presente trabajo se centra en analizar la muñeca como artificio semántico y plástico en la obra de la escritora y artista mexicana contemporánea Ana Clavel, así como en la creación plástica del artista alemán Hans Bellmer. Las muñecas del surrealista alemán son imagen textual en la novela de la mexicana Las Violetas son las flores del deseo (2007) y presentan afinidades estéticas con la obra plástica de Ana Clavel y con las muñecas de su ficción como artificios semánticos (Las Violetas). Estos seres sintéticos y semánticos son concebidos desde una lógica que nos invita a pensar el cuerpo sexuado de la muñeca como extraño, erótico y desnaturalizado.
Student motivation in Waldorf foreign language classrooms
Authors: Montenegro Aida
Published: April 2024

This paper contributes to the understanding of the concept of student motivation in foreign language learning. Taking into account Waldorf teachers’ optimal classroom experiences (n=18) in foreign language classrooms, this study presents as a conclusion two relationships that emerge in a language learning process: the relationship between the learner and his/her learning environment and the relationship between the learner and his/her school subject. These relationships display seven key aspects namely relatedness/autonomy, contemplation, curiosity, received/offered feedback, language complexity, tolerance towards language, and sensorial activation. These aspects were analysed taking into account a theoretical framework focused on student motivation. This paper encourages teachers and researchers to investigate the Waldorf Approach for teaching foreign languages, not only in Waldorf schools, but also in mainstream public school and multicultural settings that are applying this approach.
Nuevas andanzas y desventuras de la crítica en el Lazarillo de Cela
Authors: D’Alessandro Julián
Published: April 2024

Nuevas andanzas y desventuras de Lazarillo de Tormes (1944), de C. J. Cela, ha suscitado lecturas muy diversas desde su aparición. Ha habido quienes la calificaron de “plagio” del Lazarillo clásico, con serias fallas de verosimilitud y sin conexión con la realidad (Montero, 1944; Castellet, 1962; van Praag Chantraine, 1963; Sobejano, 1970), mientras otros la han aplaudido como su revitalización moderna (Rand, 1961; Zamora Vicente, 1962b; Foster, 1967; Eustis, 1986; Cabo Aseguinolaza, 1997). Ese desacuerdo nos ha llevado a indagar en torno a la categoría de realismo, a su incidencia sobre el juicio positivo o negativo de la obra y a su relación con los valores simbólicos y éticos de una cultura específica. El presente artículo propone contextualizar y analizar las principales líneas de lectura de la obra de Cela partiendo de la idea de que la configuración del concepto de realismo se ha correspondido con las intenciones ideológicas de cada coyuntura histórica.
Implicaciones de la censura en el desarrollo de los lenguajes del cuerpo: de la palabra al cuerpo en la escena española de los setenta
Authors: Rodríguez Alonso Mariángeles
Published: April 2024

El presente trabajo focaliza su atención en el viraje que se produce en el horizonte de la vanguardia escénica de los setenta desde la palabra hacia el cuerpo. A través de las poéticas dramatúrgicas y escénicas del teatro independiente se funda un nuevo sentido de la teatralidad en el que la palabra ya no ostenta el lugar central. Asistimos al abandono progresivo del textocentrismo en pos de una escena de mayor sensorialidad y fisicidad. El artículo se detiene en primer lugar en el dibujo de este desplazamiento para analizar después algunas de las implicaciones estéticas y políticas de la censura en la conformación de las poéticas teatrales del momento. Cuando la palabra es censurada deviene necesario hacer decir al cuerpo, de este modo, la censura interviene en el desarrollo de los lenguajes del cuerpo.
The Reconstruction of Identity in V.S. Naipaul's The Mimic Men and in Caryl Phillips'In the Falling Snow: Life and narration
Authors: Díaz de Olarte Cabada Miren Karmele
Published: April 2024

This article draws inspiration from the concept of narrative identity whichstates that any coherent reconstruction of identity requires a narration of the self, that is, alife story created out of a meaningful reflexion on personal memoirs. The concept ofnarrative identity, albeit coming from the social sciences, has its literary counterpart infirst-person narratives. Since Ralph Singh, in Naipaul’s The Mimic Men and Earl Gordon, inCaryl Phillip's In the Falling Snow revisit their life-stories through autobiography and

confession respectively, it seems feasible to consider these two first-person narrativemodalities as fictional examples of narrative identity.

Authors: Toker טוקר Leona לאונה
Published: April 2024

Mientras que el asesinato de elites data de épocas antiguas, ya sea como parte de ungenocidio, como oferta a cambio de esclavitud de una comunidad, o bien como expresiónde un resentimiento social, debido a las atrocidades cometidas en el siglo XX las historiasde elitocidio han reunido la masa crítica suficiente como para que surja este concepto. Elpresente artículo se centra en las reflexiones literarias sobre el elitocidio, muchas de lascuales solo se pueden reconocer como tales una vez que el fenómeno en sí ha cristalizadoen la memoria colectiva. Tratamientos de carácter literario sobre la cuestión del elitocidioincluyen obras de Dostoyevski (traducida al español como Los endemoniados o Demonios[Бесы], 1871–1872), de H. G. Wells (La máquina del tiempo, 1895) y de Nabokov (Barrasiniestra, 1947), aunque el ejemplo fundamental abordado aquí es el tema de ladestrucción de las personas de mayor talento que aparecen en las historias del Gulag deGeorgy Demidov.

‘Asylum under my tread’: Silences and Voices in Samuel Beckett’s Echo’s Bones and Other Precipitates
Authors: Garre García Mª del Mar
Published: April 2024

When discussing Samuel Beckett’s poetry, critics have noted the author’s pursuit of his self-expression beyond the boundaries of language and time. However, his early poetry has never been fully incorporated into general analysis of his poetic production. The aim of this essay is to offer a different viewpoint from which to consider Echo’s Bones and Other Precipitates (1935), Beckett’s first collection of poems, in close connection with the potential meaning of the term ‘facultatif’, used by the author himself in a letter to his friend Thomas McGreevy to describe this poetry. My contention is that Beckett’s early poetry was for him a sheltered space of self-expression and liberation, where he could most easily describe his innermost thoughts. In this respect, Echo’s Bones will be ultimately considered as a key point at which to attempt a general definition of Beckett’s poetics.

Poe’s Unreliable Narrator
Authors: Sánchez-Verdejo Pérez Francisco Javier
Published: April 2024

An unreliable narrator (prisoner of madness, full of lies...) is one of the most powerful weapons an author can use. As we shall see, the effects multiply when that writer is Edgar Allan Poe. On the other hand, or in addition, if there is something that can delight more than reading Poe, that is teaching Poe. His narrators, those that appear in stories like "The Tell-Tale Heart" or "The Black Cat" offer a magnificent example for our project. Mentally unstable, despite their (intended?) intentions of reliability, these narrators often move away subjectively from the facts. That is why these stories will be part of the corpus of narratives that we present here.
La Influencia de la Sociedad en la Identidad de los Sujetos Queer
Authors: Risco Ruiz Daniel
Published: April 2024

Desde la redada a Stonewall Inn en junio de 1969 hasta la actualidad, el colectivo LGBT ha sufrido muchos cambios desde un punto de vista social; adquiriendo más derechos conforme ha avanzado el tiempo. Sin embargo, el tema de la representación en el cine, televisión y literatura es aún un asunto en el que los colectivos LGBT siguen haciendo mucho hincapié y en el que, aunque se ha avanzado, algunos creen que no tanto como se debería. Este trabajo explora la representación de los personajes homosexuales y bisexuales masculinos en las novelas juveniles de temática fantástica, especialmente en relación con la sociedad ficticia en la que se desarrollan y cómo esta influye en su formación como sujetos. Todo esto teniendo como base la teoría queer y en el marco de la literatura juvenil, orientada a un público adolescente en pleno desarrollo de su propia sexualidad.

2020 will remain forever in our memory as the year that changed the lives of practically all the inhabitants of the planet.  The virulence with which COVID-19 has hit us has undoubtedly led us to raise existential doubts about the meaning of our lives, love relationships and affections, and to reflect on concepts such as loss, memory and nostalgia that are present in all aspects of our lives since the pandemic began.
Empuñar la Perdición
Authors: Castro Rey Ignacio
Published: April 2024

La clave para resistir el peso atronador de la historia es poner un pie en la potencia atemporal que siempre está en el origen, de un individuo y de un pueblo. Al menos desde Nietzsche, que recoge ecos estoicos, una especie de subversión por aceptación es una de las obsesiones del pensamiento. El ser humano es libre cuando se hace cargo del destino fatal que le habita, una verdad que jamás será traducible a la voluntad pública del saber. Es significativo que sea cierta potencia femenina, de Simone Weil a Clarice Lispector, la que ha marcado una senda difícil para algunos varones. Aquellos que la han recorrido, de Benjamin a Agamben, han pensado y resistido al precio de escuchar un haz de tiniebla, una pérdida originaria, para la que la mujer siempre ha tenido mejor oído. Y más acerada la retina.
Framing the Disordered Landscape. On reading Robert Smithson: Architecture as Eological Construction
Authors: Lacalle García Carlos
Published: April 2024

[…]and no whiteness (lost) is so white as the memoryof whitenessWilliam Carlos Williams, The Descent, 1954This essay aims to weave the warp where the consideration of architecture understood as a “ruin” can be assumed, but lacking completeness. Architecture as eological construction invites us to consider the space ‘under construction’, an open architecture that is beyond its limits.In this way, following Robert Smithson (1938-1973) in Landscapes of Loss, allows us to reverse the sense of “landscape”, open, always under construction where a dialogue takes place with the past; but accepting that the landscape (architecture) ‘unfolds’ with our new current perspective (inhabiting the space), with our involvement yet to come (poem).Remembrances are but numbers on a map, vacant memories constellating the intangible terrains in deleted vicinities. It is the dimension of absence that remains to be found. The expunged color that remains to be seen… Yucatan is elsewhere. (Holt 103)

Uno de los objetivos esenciales de este artículo es resaltar la vigencia y la actualidad del pensamiento de Zambrano, al igual que señalar la importancia que tuvo para su filosofía la experiencia del exilio, pues determinó el hallazgo de una nueva figura de razón, la razón poética, que solo fructificó tras el proceso de desasimiento y nadificación que experimentó la autora a lo largo de cuarenta y cinco años de exilio. Por otro lado, brindaremos las claves principales para conocer su pensamiento.
“En el principio solo Ella existía”. Resimbolización y mito de la Diosa en Narcisia, de Juana Castro
Authors: Blanco Fernández Marta
Published: April 2024

El presente artículo analiza la resimbolización del cuerpo femenino en el poemario Narcisia, de la poeta cordobesa Juana Castro, considerado un texto fundacional en la poesía escrita por mujeres del SXX. Publicado en 1986, supone una ruptura radical con la visión tradicional del mito del origen en la expresión poética en lengua española. En Narcisia, la autora resimboliza el cuerpo femenino, asociándolo a un concepto orgánico de lo sagrado, desafiando, de esta forma, la imagen masculina de Dios desde un sujeto lírico femenino y erótico, divino e inmanente. Concebido de manera unitaria y expresado a través de un léxico culto y cuidado que se articula en versos heptasílabos y endecasílabos, Narcisia nos muestra a una diosa pagana, que surge de sí misma y se re-crea una y otra vez desde el principio de los tiempos.

Nachhaltiges Konsumverhalten, moralische Urteilsbildung in Dilemmasituationen und soziale Rollen zusammen denken?
Authors: Sager Anna-Lena
Published: April 2024

Wodurch werden Konsumierende, die alltäglich in immer komplexer werdenden Märkten mit schwer aufzulösenden Entscheidungsdilemmata konfrontiert sind, an einer nachhaltigen Teilhabe und der Überführung ihrer normativen Einstellung in passende Konsumhandlungen gehindert? Wie können diese Hindernisse abgebaut und überwunden werden? Und welcher Einfluss kann dem moralischen Urteilsvermögen sowie sozialen Rollen in diesem Kontext zugeschrieben werden? Das Projekt Nachhaltige Konsumstile in sozialen Rollen-Überschneidungen (NaKosiR) findet mit einer innovativen Erhebungsmethode Antworten auf diese Fragen.
Warum schließt sich die Lücke zwischen Einstellungen und Verhalten einfach nicht?
Authors: Hellmann Kai-Uwe
Published: April 2024

Spätestens seit dem Brundtland-Bericht 1987, mithin seit fast vierzig Jahren, wird über die dringliche Notwendigkeit diskutiert, die Akzeptanz und Partizipationsbereitschaft für deutlich mehr nachhaltigen Konsum weltweit zu steigern. Auf der Einstellungsebene ist dies vergleichsweise gut gelungen, auf der Verhaltensebene mitnichten. Als Gründe für diese anhaltend ermittelte Diskrepanz werden vor allem extrinsisch bedingte Faktoren identifiziert, frei nach dem Motto: Würde man die Verbraucher und Verbraucherinnen nur nicht daran hindern, würde eine große Mehrheit deutlich nachhaltiger konsumieren. Doch ist dem wirklich so? Dieser Frage sucht der Beitrag ein Stück weit auf den Grund zu gehen, und zwar in drei Schritten. Zuerst geht es um eine kritische Analyse der Attitude-Behavior-Gap-Forschung in Sachen Nachhaltiger Konsum; im Fokus steht eine methodische Kritik. Als Konsequenz dieser Kritik wird eine empirisch-qualitative Fallstudie komprimiert präsentiert, die exemplarisch aufzeigen soll, dass es für Millionen von Verbrauchern und Verbraucherinnen gute Gründe gibt, (vermeintlich) nicht-nachhaltige Konsumpraktiken unverändert fortzuführen, ein weiterer Faktor, der zur Aufklärung der Gap-Problematik beitragen kann. Zur Abrundung wird am Ende ein konzeptioneller Vorschlag unterbreitet, die Forschung zu nachhaltigem Konsum ganzheitlicher zu betreiben, indem das Konsumverhalten von Verbrauchern und Verbraucherinnen sowohl auf der Mikro-, der Meso- und der Makroebene strikt interdependent untersucht werden sollte.
Cardiac Arrest During a Ferric Derisomaltose Infusion Followed by Complete Heart Block: A Case Report
Authors: Scott Michael , Jansen Natalie , Bilello Leslie A.
Published: April 2024

Introduction: Ferric derisomaltose is the newest available parenteral iron formulation. Studies have demonstrated a good safety proﬁle with improved tolerability compared to alternative parenteral iron formulations. To date there have been no reported acute, life-threatening cardiac events associated with ferric derisomaltose. Case Report: An 86-year-old male who had previously tolerated routine iron infusions received a ﬁrst dose of ferric derisomaltose at an outpatient infusion clinic. Six minutes into the infusion the patient became unresponsive with no palpable pulse. Return of spontaneous circulation was achieved after two minutes of chest compressions. Electrocardiogram showed complete heart block requiring transcutaneous pacing and vasopressor administration. The patient was transferred to the emergency department for stabilization and then admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit. During admission, the patient received a dual-chamber, permanent pacemaker without complication and was ultimately discharged. Conclusion: It may be reasonable to consider parenteral iron as a toxicological etiology for patients presenting with complete heart block temporally associated with parenteral iron administration, particularly in patients with underlying conduction abnormalities.

Grounding and Limiting Political Corporate Social Responsibility (PCSR) Using a Neo-Aristotelian Approach
Authors: Koehn Daryl ,   DePaul University
Published: April 2024

This paper offers a neo-Aristotelian approach to PCSR aimed at enabling us to more systematically ascertain which sorts of corporate political activities, if any, might be politically acceptable. Part 1 sketches Aristotle’s account of the “political.” Aristotelian politics have at least four key dimensions. When we speak of PCSR, we should, from this Aristotelian perspective, evaluate how specific behaviors accord with or undermine these four aspects of political life. Part 2 of the paper explores which forms of activity by corporations qualify as genuinely (and thus acceptably) political within a neo-Aristotelian framework. Part 3 highlights strengths and limitations of this approach to PCSR.
Classical Study of Exponential Function and Their Applications
Authors: Thakur Aayush , Das Rakesh , Sah Shivam , Sahani Suresh Kumar , Sahani Kameshwar
Published: April 2024

The exponential function as a mathematical concept plays an important role in the corpus of mathematical knowledge, but unfortunately students have problems grasping it. Paper exposes example of exponential example of  exponential function application in real world. One of the most prevalent application of exponential function involves growth and decay models. Exponential growth and decay show up in a host of natural application. From population Growth and continuously compounded interest to radioactive decay and Newton’s law of cooling, exponential function are ubiquitous in nature. In this section, we examine exponential growth and decay in the context of some of the application. In the preceding section, we examined a population growth problem in which the population grew at a fixed percentage each year. In that case, we found that the population can be described by exponential function. A similar analysis will show that any process in which a quantity grows by a fixed percentage each year can be modeled by an exponential function. Compound interest is good example of such a process. This work is motivated by the works of [1-15, 22]. Other example of exponential function are bacterial growth, bacterial decay, population decline, are obtained in this project.

Authors: Navarrete Wilfredo , Durruty Pilar , Andrade Eileen , Orellana Rodrigo , Ortiz María Georgina , Budini María Angélica
Published: April 2024

Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a highly prevalent disease and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Due to the low percentage of adequate glycemic control, new strategies for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus have been sought, including sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitorss. Objective To describe the evolution of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with insulin requirements treated with empagliflozin at the Peñaflor Hospital. The primary objective was to evaluate the efficacy of the medication regarding glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). The secondary objectives were: 1) achievement of HbA1c equal to or less than 7.5% according to survival analysis. 2) Change in glomerular filtration rate and urinary albumin excretion post treatment. Methods Review of clinical records of all patients treated with empagliflozin from November 2019 to June 2023. Average follow-up of 19 (16.3 to 40) months. To compare HbA1c values according to follow-up ranges, the paired T test or Wilcoxon test was used. Results We included 58 patients, 15 men and 43 women (74.1%), with an average age of 58.5 ± 9.2 years, ranging from 35 to 75 years. Baseline HbA1c of 10.3 ± 1.6% and 8.98% ± 2.2 in a follow-up of 18 to 24 months post-treatment, resulted in a decrease of 1.27% (p = 0.002; confidence interval 95%: 0.5 to 2.03). The most common adverse effect was urinary tract infection. Conclusions Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with insulin requirements treated with empagliflozin at the Peñaflor Hospital achieved better glycemic control with few adverse effects.
Inteligența emoțională
Authors:   Romanian Academy, Sfetcu Nicolae
Published: April 2024

Inteligența emoțională este un set de abilități pentru răspunsurile la evenimente care constituie emoții. Prin integrarea inteligenței cu emoția se pot determina „cel puțin unele răspunsuri „corecte” în ceea ce privește sentimentele” pentru a distinge indivizii în funcţie de inteligența emoțională într-un context cultural dat. În prezent, organizațiile trebuie să facă față, pe lângă o concurență sporită, și unei dezvoltări și inovații tehnologice exponențiale, și unor procese de schimbare care afectează toate stările emoționale ale angajaților. Toate aceste provocări, împreună cu schimbările impuse și complexitatea sarcinilor organizaționale și manageriale, implică noi exigențe emoționale și acțiuni mai eficiente la nivel corporativ, inclusiv prin gestionarea emoțiilor în cele mai multe circumstanțe. Astfel, emoțiile reprezintă „resurse” valoroase pentru inovație și valoare adăugată într-un proces economic. Inteligența emoțională a fost un subiect important și controversat în ultimele decenii. Inteligența emoțională este cheia pentru simțire, gândire, învățare, rezolvarea problemelor și luarea deciziilor. ”Oricine se poate supăra - asta este ușor. Dar să fii supărat pe persoana potrivită, într-un grad potrivit, la momentul potrivit, în scopul potrivit și în modul corect - acest lucru nu este ușor.” (Aristotel)

Prevention of Online Game Addiction Through Increasing Self-Control
Authors: Cahyaningrum Anjani Widya , Paryontri Ramon Ananda
Published: April 2024

Excessive use of online games can result in negative impacts, such as an increased risk of addiction. Therefore, the purpose of psychoeducational activities is to provide understanding to junior high school students about the importance of improving self-control in using online games. Psychoeducational activities began with observation, interviews, pre-tests, and post-tests, as well as the delivery of material on self-control and online game addiction. In its implementation, it was found that as many as 20 students fell into the category of severe online game addiction, while 14 students fell into the low category. The results of psychoeducational activities showed an increase in students' understanding of self-control and online game addiction after receiving counseling. Psychoeducation helps students understand the risks of online game addiction and the importance of improving self-control in their use. Through this understanding, it is hoped that students can be wiser in managing the time and frequency of playing online games, and prevent addiction. Thus, psychoeducational activities have an important role in helping students develop awareness of the negative impact of excessive use of online games as well as increase their self-control in this regard.

Cryptocurrency has emerged as a transformative force in the financial realm, garnering widespread attention and acceptance. However, its dynamic nature and inherent uncertainties pose significant challenges for investors. This study delves into the factors shaping cryptocurrency value formation by harnessing the power of advanced artificial intelligence frameworks. Specifically, we employ fully connected Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Recurrent Neural Network to analyze the price dynamics of prominent cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple. Our research reveals that ANN tends to rely more heavily on long-term historical data, whereas LSTM exhibits a penchant for short-term dynamics. Interestingly, LSTM demonstrates superior efficiency in leveraging historical information, yet with adequate data, ANN can achieve comparable accuracy. Our findings shed light on the predictability of cryptocurrency market prices, albeit the interpretation may vary depending on the machine-learning model utilized. This study underscores the significance of leveraging artificial intelligence in comprehending and forecasting cryptocurrency market trends, thereby mitigating investment risks in this dynamic landscape.

The experiment explores using demolished brick aggregate, specifically Jhama brick, as a substitute for traditional coarse aggregate in concrete production. Different proportions of Jhama brick (15%, 25%, and 35%) were tested in M25 grade concrete. Testing included fresh and hardened concrete characteristics like workability and compressive strength at 7 and 28 days. Results showed that a 25% replacement of Jhama brick was cost-effective and had suitable strength for moderate load structures, although overall strength was lower than standard concrete. Key Word: Jhama brick, And Compressive strength test.

Analysis of the phytosanitary risk of the pest Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, 1888 for tree species in Bulgaria
Authors: Spasov Nikolay
Published: April 2024

Bulgaria is characterized by the fact that it is one of the richest countries in plant diversity in Europe - more than 4,200 higher plant species and about 3,700 species of algae and mosses have been described. On the country territory you can see the last deposits in Europe of a number of rare plant species, as well as another 170 Bulgarian and 200 Balkan endemics.
For this reason, the introduction, establishment and spread of new species of plant enemies is a critical moment for the conservation of our nature.
Precisely such a species is Agrilus planipennis, which is an East Asian species for which there is currently no evidence of being present in the European Union (EU) territory and in the analyzed threatened area.
A. planipennis spreads naturally and through human-assisted routes, such as infested ash logs, firewood and nursery plants. Other potential routes of entry have been identified, such as: wood, sawdust, mulch (composted and uncomposted), and the probability of entry of this enemy is considered moderate.
A. planipennis has been added to the A2 list of pests recommended for regulation as quarantine for the EPPO region, meaning that the pest is locally present in the EPPO region. It is also a Union quarantine pest listed in Part A of Annex II to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 and a priority pest under Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/1702, which obliges Member States to carry out annual surveys.
Bulgaria falls into an area with suitable eco-climatic conditions for establishment, i.e. in case of possible penetration into the country, the risk of establishing A. planipennis is high.
Its current distribution in N. America and European Russia, as well as its native range in Asia, suggests that this species can survive winter at temperatures well below freezing. For this reason, low temperatures in winter are not expected to have a negative impact on the establishment and spread of A. planipennis in Bulgaria, since this species has established itself in areas with much lower temperatures than those in the country (for example, the Moscow region). Given the climatic changes in Bulgaria and the trend towards warming in most regions of the country, and the forecast for milder winters in the coming decades, it is assumed that the conditions will be increasingly suitable.
If established and spread, the pest is likely to cause major ecological losses and impacts, as well as some social effects. Long-distance spread will be via human-assisted pathways, and its natural spread will occur, but at a slower rate.
In the event of the introduction, establishment and spread of A. planipennis in the country, it could have a negative impact, especially in the areas where the different species of ash are found, and its destruction or containment will be difficult and expensive, and it is unlikely that it would be successful.

Published: April 2024

This study explores how kindergarten students from a multilingual sample (n = 131) representing 23 different languages differ in response to intervention, based on their skill in mathematics and domain general cognitive skills. Analyses for this study indicate significant correlations between initial math skill, phonological memory, working memory, and language proficiency. There was no statistically significant relationship demonstrated between gains in mathematics and phonological memory, working memory, and language proficiency. No moderation effect was found between domain general skills and response to math intervention. Implications of this work will inform development and delivery of math interventions for multilingual students in kindergarten.
Solidarity Crimes, Legitimacy Limits
Authors: Moreno-Lax Violeta
Published: April 2024

The criminalisation of humanitarianism has become pervasive in the EU over the last two decades. Overbroad definitions of the crimes of facilitation of irregular entry, transit and stay produce well known noxious effects on the human rights of migrants and civil society organisations. Nevertheless, the tendency has been to tighten the rules rather than contesting the EU’s failure to pursue a migration control system that is ‘fair towards third-country nationals’ and constructed ‘with respect for fundamental rights.’ In this blogpost, I argue that the EU legislator’s disregard for the human rights impacts of the facilitation regime constitutes an abuse of power. Legislative measures that have the effect of subverting legally enshrined principles (Arts 2, 6 & 21 TEU) and suppress the rights of civil society and the migrants with whom they engage are incompatible with core democratic premises.
India’s Push-and-Pull on Reproductive Rights
Authors: Pillai Gauri
Published: April 2024

For a piece mapping India’s push-and-pull on reproductive rights – the expanse of its protection and the edges it comes up against – history is a good place to start. Rights in the reproductive sphere are relatively new to India. While India enacted a seemingly liberal abortion legislation as early as 1971, concerns about women’s rights were hardly the drivers behind it. Women’s bodies were a means to achieve the State’s end of population control. It is difficult to justify if women were truly seen as rights-holders. Did this change in recent years?
Und plötzlich selbstbestimmt
Authors: Roßbach Susanna
Published: April 2024

Der Bundestag hat das Selbstbestimmungsgesetz (SBGG) beschlossen. Endlich – denn nach der Ankündigung im Koalitionsvertrag und diversen vieldiskutierten Entwürfen war zuletzt über Monate unklar, was politisch hinter den Kulissen eigentlich geschieht, insbesondere wann (und ob) der Gesetzesentwurf zur finalen Abstimmung kommt. Das verabschiedete Gesetz kann – und muss – in Einzelfragen kritisiert werden, ein historischer Moment für trans, intergeschlechtliche und nicht-binäre Menschen in Deutschland war das aber allemal.
