Fearless Woman: Financial Literacy, Confidence, and Stock Market Participation
Authors: Bucher-Koenen Tabea , Alessie Rob , Lusardi Annamaria , van Rooij Maarten
Published: December 2024

Women are less financially literate than men, and it has been difficult to determine whether this gap reflects a lack of knowledge or, rather, a lack of confidence. To address this important research question, we designed two survey modules that enable us to calculate the extent to which confidence matters for both financial literacy and behavior. We developed and estimated a model that provides a new measure of financial literacy and disentangles confidence from knowledge. We find that confidence accounts for about 30% of the gender difference in financial literacy. Moreover, both financial knowledge and confidence are linked to stock market participation. We also provide researchers with a method to account for confidence in regressions.

Combined Layer-by-Layer Segmentation Level Set Model Applied to Dental CBCT Image Segmentation
Authors: Wenjie Du , Yuanjun Wang
Published: December 2024

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) image technology is widely used in the oral healthcare service industry to Detect the alignment, shape, position, and orientation of the patient's teeth, and tooth segmentation based on the level set model is an important step in the reconstruction and visualization of the tooth's three-dimensional structure. In response to the error accumulation problem that occurs in the conventional layer-by-layer segmentation level set model, this paper proposes a combined layer-by-layer segmentation level set model, which reduces the number of segmentation error transfers, and at the same time reduces the amount of segmentation error accumulation. Two consecutive sets of level set function iterations are designed to lead the curve from the inside of the tooth to the tooth edge and perform accurate tooth contour segmentation. The first set moves the curve from the inside of the tooth to the vicinity of the tooth contour to avoid over-segmentation, and the second set moves the curve from the vicinity of the tooth contour to the edge of the tooth contour for further optimization. Ten CBCT images were randomly selected to test this model, and the experiments showed that the combined layer-by-layer segmentation level-set model was superior to the conventional layer-by-layer segmentation level-set model, with the VOE value reduced by 12.44%, and the results of tooth segmentation were more accurate and better displayed; the time spent was shorter, but not significant; and good segmentation accuracy could be achieved for various classes of teeth.

Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Precision medicine is an emerging field that includes tumor-targeted delivery and tumor microenvironment. This review explores the synergistic potential of combining nano-drug delivery systems with low radiation doses to achieve optimized therapeutic outcomes, particularly in the context of cancer treatment. Nanoparticle-based drug carriers offer precise and targeted delivery, enhancing the therapeutic index of anticancer agents. The use of lower radiation doses has become a focus in radiation oncology to minimize off-target effects on healthy tissues in palliation treatment with high-target volume lesions.

AIM

To conduct a bibliometric review of nanomedicine and glioblastoma (GBM), all relevant studies from the last two decades were included.

METHODS

The search strategy comprised the keywords ”nanomedicine “and “glioblastoma” in the title and/or abstract. All English-language documents from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2023 were considered for the analysis. R code (version 4.2.0) with R Studio (version 2022.12.0-353) and the Bibliometrix package (version 4.0.1) were used for the analysis. A total of 680 documents were collected.

RESULTS

We analyzed the bibliometric features of nanomedicine in glioma. With the limitations of the research, our analysis aims to highlight the increasing interest of researchers in the precision medicine field in GBM treatment and lead us to suggest further studies focusing on the association between nanomedicine and radiotherapy.

CONCLUSION

Due to the poor prognosis associated with GBM, new therapeutic approaches are necessary. There is an increasing interest in precision medicine, which includes nanomedicine and radiotherapy, for GBM treatment. This integration enhances the efficacy of targeted treatments and provides a promising avenue for reducing adverse effects, signifying a notable advancement in precision oncology.
Systemic thrombosis with prothrombin Belgrade mutation in a Chinese patient: A case report
Authors: Wu Yan-Feng , Huang Yan , Weng Bao-Hui , Deng Shan , Pan Li-Ya , Li Zhen
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Thrombophilia contributes to a significant increased risk of venous thromboembolism and can be either inherited or acquired. Hereditary thrombophilia may arise from various gene mutations, some of which have not even been adequately reported or poorly understood. Previous studies reported a rare and novel missense mutation in the prothrombin gene (p.Arg596Gln), known as prothrombin Belgrade. The mechanisms and therapeutic strategies associated with prothrombin Belgrade mutation have not been fully elucidated.

CASE SUMMARY

We present the case of a 26-year-old woman with recurrent systemic thrombosis induced by prothrombin Belgrade mutation. The patient suffered from cerebral venous sinus thrombosis that rapidly progressed to systemic thrombosis, alongside a family history of cerebral thrombosis, and no traditional risk factors or abnormal coagulation function. Whole-genome sequencing detected a novel and rare heterozygous prothrombin missense mutation, c.1787G>T (p.Arg596Gln), which was responsible for the major etiology of the systemic thrombosis.

CONCLUSION

This case strengthens our understanding about hereditary basis of thrombophilia and provokes considerations for therapeutic options on prothrombin Belgrade mutation.

Abstract. Rodil MSP, Banaag C, Velasco EJT, Elazegui EP. 2024. Water quality and phytoplankton structure and functional classification in Tadlac Lake, Philippines. Biodiversitas 25: 2769-2782. Following the ban on aquaculture enforced from December 1999 to February 2000, the local government of Tadlac Lake, Philippines, is currently developing ecotourism projects in the lake. This necessitates the assessment of water quality and phytoplankton to ensure the sustainability of the lake, supporting both ecological preservation and visitor satisfaction. This present study unveils the current ecological condition of Tadlac Lake, while advancing knowledge of phytoplankton's responses to different environmental conditions and adaptation mechanisms through their functional classifications. Our study revealed that except for phosphate during the dry period, water quality parameters adhered to the standards for class C waters. Phytoplankton species are grouped into Phaeophyta, Cyanobacteria, and Chlorophyta. Bacillariophyceae was the most dominant class with 15 species. The persistent presence of Stephanodiscus hantzschii, Synedra affinis, Synedra tabulata, Achnanthes lanceolata, Navicula placentula, Neidium affine, Synechocystis aquatilis, Oscillatoria limosa, and Chlorococcum humicola indicate that the lake's recovery from past deterioration remains incomplete. Shannon-Weiner and Pielou evenness index suggested that the lake exhibits a state of light pollution. The Wilcoxon signed rank test reveals significant seasonal variations in environmental factors, including temperature, total dissolved solids, salinity, electrical conductivity, pH, dissolved oxygen, phosphates, and total coliform counts, which directly impact the structure and functional classification of phytoplankton communities. Spearman correlation coefficients and canonical correspondence analysis further establish significant correlations between individual phytoplankton species and these environmental parameters, providing additional evidence. The results emphasize the need for seasonally tailored environmental management strategies.

Abstract. Ruziman HH, Mohti A, Nik Ali NNBNA, Ismail A, Pardi F. 2024. Assessing forest biomass and diversity of tree populations in Tekam Forest Reserve, Pahang, Malaysia. Biodiversitas 25: 2821-2827. Free Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) experiments are long-term monitoring projects to comprehend the response of forest ecosystems to future atmospheres with CO2 enriched. Therefore, the research aims to determine the forest biomass and species diversity in the FACE system of Tekam Forest Reserve (TFR), Pahang, Malaysia. The sampling plots of 25 m × 20 m were established in TekamFACE as experimental plot and control plot in TFR. Allometric equation, Shannon-Wiener, and Evenness indices were used to estimate the standing biomass, carbon stock and species diversity, respectively. Tekam FACE system recorded total forest biomass of 54.38 ton/ha, contributed by 42.82 tons/ha of Above-Ground Biomass (AGB) and 11.56 tons/ha of Below-Ground Biomass (BGB). High carbon stock was also estimated at both forest plots with 27.19 tons/ha in TekamFACE and 17.35 tons/ha in control plot. These values indicated that the forest has high biomass, which can contribute to carbon sequestration that help mitigate the impacts of climate change. Further, this forest recorded high Species Diversity (H’) and Species Evenness (E) at TekamFACE (H’ = 4.04; E = 0.93) and control plot (H’ = 3.53; E = 0.83). Overall, this research emphasized that forests with rich biodiversity have substantial carbon sequestration capacity for the adaptation of forest ecosystems to future atmospheric changes.
Rural Economic Development: Whaling and Mink Farming in Newfoundland, 1935–1971
Authors: Dickinson Anthony , Sanger Chesley
Published: December 2024

Abstract: L'élevage de visons à petite échelle fit ses débuts à Terre-Neuve en 1935, mais prit de l'expansion après la Seconde Guerre mondiale en appui au développement économique rural. Des éleveurs du Canada et des États-Unis furent attirés à Terre-Neuve par le gouvernement, qui offrait de la viande de globicéphale noir et de petit rorqual à bon marché, ainsi que des incitatifs à l'expédition et à l'établissement. En conséquence, le stock de globicéphales fut surexploité, ce qui, jumelé au déclin des marchés, entraîna la fin de l'élevage de visons soutenu par la chasse à la baleine en 1971. Il aurait cessé de toute façon l'année suivante, après que le gouvernement du Canada eut interdit la chasse à la baleine par les non-Autochtones. Abstract: Small-scale mink farming began in Newfoundland in 1935, but was expanded after the Second World War to further rural economic development. Breeders were attracted from Canada and the USA by the government's offer of low-cost meat from long-finned pilot (pothead) and minke whales, together with shipping and establishment incentives. As a consequence, the pothead stock was overexploited, which, with declining markets, ended whaling-supported mink farming in 1971. It would, in any case, have ceased the following year after a ban on non-Indigenous whaling was imposed by the Canadian government.
The Devil Let Loose in Little Dorrit
Authors: Crook Keith
Published: December 2024

Abstract: Little Dorrit , among many other things, is an exposition of Dickens's ideas on how to present the supernatural in an appropriate language. The most immediately striking vehicle for this is its unusually large number of biblical quotations and pointed references to the Bible and the Anglican Book of Common Prayer. They provide a powerful rhetoric of ideas for the novel as a dramatic poem. Allusion to scriptural sources encompasses a great flexibility in tone: irony, contempt, horror, incredulity, amusement, approval. It sustains a sense of the supernatural dimension within the novel's naturalism. Dickens's presentation of different forms of evil in Little Dorrit has much in common with the presentation of the diabolic and the hellish in works he is known to have read in the 1840s: Shelley's "Peter Bell the Third," Swedenborg's treatise, Concerning Heaven and Hell , and Dante's Inferno , coupled with Paradise Lost .
Dickens's Political Young Gentlemen
Authors: Long William F.
Published: December 2024

Abstract: In the 1838 sketch "The Political Young Gentleman" Dickens ignores the broad-based consensus of political outlook then shared at the time by many Whigs and Peelite Conservatives, and instead pokes gentle fun at extreme Tory and Radical stereotypes. To do so he refers to several previously un-noted matters then in the news.
Killing Him Just Made Him Stronger: On Herod's Speculation in Matt 14:1–2 that Jesus was John Resurrected
Authors: Harriman K R
Published: December 2024

Abstract: All the Synoptic Gospels record a peculiar claim in a story about Herod, wherein it is said that Jesus is John the Baptist risen from the dead. Obviously, none of the Gospel authors agree with this claim, which raises the question of why they recorded it. With a focus on Matthew, I argue that this claim appears for two reasons: 1) the resurrection speculation presents perhaps the most dramatic—even if misinformed—statement of Jesus's continuity with John as well as his superiority; 2) the resurrection speculation provides an ironic foreshadowing of the link between Jesus's identity and his fate, a link that fits with the author's themes of resurrection theology. To make this argument, I first perform a pericope comparison between Matthew's version and the other Synoptics. Then I examine the place of the text in Matthew's overall presentation of the relationship of Jesus and John. Finally, I explore how this text relates to the theology of resurrection presented in Matthew.

Published: December 2024

The optimal contraception dosing strategy proposed by Gavina et al. recently is a commendable attempt to model a complex physiological process with potenial to apply to real-life data. However, there is a need to take into account the real challenges that arise when moving from the theory to its practical application, and it is important that lessons learnt from clinical studies be taken into consideration in any theoretical modelling. In this manuscript, we spell out these lessons and elaborate practical challenges facing their model.

Published: December 2024

Freshwater shorelines, including adjacent riparian habitats, are dynamic intersections between land and water that contribute to the maintenance of biodiversity in both realms. These areas are also affected by multiple stressors at local and global scales, from development to climate impacts. Despite increasing alterations to these areas, often to the detriment of connected ecosystems, and despite many regulations for residential and commercial development, there are no established thresholds across countries and governance levels for how much shoreline or riparian development is too much to maintain freshwater ecosystem function. The urgent need to identify thresholds for shoreline and riparian development in freshwater systems is complicated by a number of challenges, yet there is evidence that threshold effects occur after only a small area of a watershed is developed. Here, we summarize current information on development thresholds for shoreline and riparian areas of freshwater systems. We then discuss the inherent challenges in assigning numeric values to such a diverse set of ecosystems (spanning wetlands, lakes, streams, and more), including considerations such as temporal lags, spatial scales, and cumulative effects. We conclude with a call for research needed to overcome knowledge gaps that will enable practitioners to apply scientifically-robust thresholds to decisions regarding shoreline and riparian development. Doing so will benefit all actors by providing evidence to support shoreline policies and development guidelines that are inclusive of the aesthetic, recreational, and functional aspects of freshwater systems.
Cognitive Discourse Analysis of the Domain of Supremacy in Selected Speeches by Joe Biden
Authors: Taher Jaf Marewan D.
Published: December 2024

This study is an attempt to showcase how the domain of ‘SUPREMACY’ is conceptualised in some speeches delivered by Joe Biden. This conceptual structure, domain, is necessary to profile relevant scenes of experience during speech based on cognitive attentional strategy. The cognitive mechanisms are not enough to conceive of the ideologies represented in these speeches. Thus, this study adopts the Cognitive Discourse Analysis approach and investigates the cognitive and discursive mechanisms employed by the linguistic and ideological structures in Biden’s selected speeches. This study investigates this domain in five speeches made by Biden employing an analytical and qualitative method. The prominent question that this study attempts to answer is: How are the linguistic and ideological structures that represent the domain of ‘SUPREMACY’ projected in the conceptual structures of Biden and entrenched by the listeners? This study concludes that the domain of ‘SUPREMACY’ is conceptualised in these speeches through the use of some facets from the most prominent to the least prominent, such as ‘SUPERIORITY’, ‘POWER’, ‘PROSPERITY’, and ‘DOMINANCE’. The cognitive identification-attention strategy is maintained in constructing the domain of ‘SUPREMACY’ in the speaker’s mental structure. Although some of the conceptualised facets are covertly represented in the ideological patterns of the selected speeches, the Cognitive Discourse Analysis approach employs cognitive and critical mechanisms to conceive them to profile the domain of ‘SUPREMACY’.
The Power Regulation System in Budi Darma's Short Story Presiden Jebule
Authors: Asri Zietha Arlamanda
Published: December 2024

The concept of power remains an eternal topic of discussion, as it permeates every aspect of human existence. Likewise, in literary works, the theme of power is a central topic for several writers. One of the Indonesian writers, Seno Gumira Ajidarma, argues that in literary works, the authors are free to write reality and voice criticism, hopes, and concerns of the people against the authorities. In his work “Presiden Jebule”, Aji Darma tries to show how power is regulated and imprisoning society through rules and punishment. The method used in this research is post-structuralism by Michel Foucault. The research finding focuses the story based on the relationship between power and punishment. The research results showed that in President Jebule's short story, there was a production of power where the people were afraid and obeyed all the rules created by Jebule. The regulations that require people to have hairstyles that match Jebule's have become the panoptic system that regulates them. The crucial idea is that anyone who does not comply with the rules made by Jebule will be subject to sanctions such as torture and capital punishment.
Ruch opozycyjny Aleksieja Nawalnego i jego wpływ na przemiany polityczne w Rosji Putina
Authors: Wasielewski Szymon
Published: December 2024

Aleksiej Nawalny w ostatnich latach uważany był za najważniejszego rosyjskiego opozycjonistę oraz głównego krytyka reżimu Władimira Putina. Podejmował szeroko zakrojone działania zmierzające do budowy społeczeństwa obywatelskiego w Rosji. Swoją bezkompromisową postawą zyskał uznanie na Zachodzie, w tym w Polsce. Krytycy Nawalnego zwracali uwagę na jego nacjonalistyczne i imperialistyczne poglądy oraz niemalże bezkrytyczny stosunek dla jego działalności wyrażany często przez światowych przywódców i instytucje międzynarodowe. Celem artykułu jest analiza działalności opozycyjnej Aleksieja Nawalnego, który w swoich działaniach dążył do przemian rosyjskiego systemu politycznego. Jako hipotezę przyjęto założenie, zgodnie z którym działalność opozycjonisty, mimo podejmowania przez jego zwolenników licznych inicjatyw oraz poparcia środowiska międzynarodowego, nie przyniosła oczekiwanych zmian na rosyjskiej scenie politycznej. Zaostrzanie się reżimu Władimira Putina doprowadziło do wzrostu represji wobec obywateli sprzeciwiających się władzy, co w znacznym stopniu utrudniało prowadzenie skutecznej walki opozycyjnej oraz przyczyniło się do śmierci Nawalnego.
„Ненормативные” средства выражения адресованности в школьной практике, или игра с нормой
Authors: Kravchenko Bohdana
Published: December 2024

The article consists of several parts: an introduction, theoretical and practical parts, and the conclusion. This work touches upon several directions in linguistics. First of all, attention is paid to the concept of addressing, namely the terms addressee (Listener) and addresser (Speaker) and their interrelation at the moment of communication. The author provides a definition of human speech behavior, which at the present stage is usually considered in pragmalinguistics. The article focuses on the factor of the addresser in pedagogical discourse (the speech of a Russian language teacher at a secondary school in Slovakia is analyzed) from the point of view of observing the normativity of speech.

Отступления от нормы и их отражение в памятниках нормативного характера: на примере правил Ужгородского Псевдозонара XVII в.

Christian doctrine clearly regulates a person’s daily life, relationships with others, and behavior even down to eating. Breaking the commandments is considered a sin, and overcoming one’s own weakness leads to the improvement of man and bringing him closer to God, which is ultimately the goal of every Christian’s life. On the material of Cyrillic monuments of written texts of a teaching character, we will consider how the deviation from the norms of Christian morality and violation of the rules of doctrine are reflected in sermons. The sermon as a non-canonical, free genre is interesting for the study of the human value system; it is in the texts of sermons that one can find a reaction to socially significant events. In the article we will trace what sins are mentioned in sermons, what methods of overcoming them are suggested, and what values are emphasized as the main ones. We will conduct this study on the material of the sermons that are part of the Uglian didactical gospel, the didactical gospel of Clement Bukowski, and some other collections. To overcome sin, the Church used not only teachings, but also a collection of laws, the distinctive feature of which was the indication of punishment (penitentia) for the violation of this or that regulation. It should be noted that the various punishments were not physical, but spiritual (e.g. excommunication from the sacrament of confession and communion for a certain period of time, strict fasts, and many others), and the main purpose of punishment was to correct the sinful nature of man and bring him closer to God.
Липкая инфляция, или языковая игра на материале словацких и российских экономических текстов
Authors: Vieriková Lucia
Published: December 2024

In modern linguistics, the understanding of language game refers to the field of speech communication, and the language games themselves are seen as a decoration of speech. Language gaming is multifarious. In this article we will focus on some forms of this phenomenon, manifested in the variation of words, their forms and meanings in Russian and Slovak economic media texts. In modern economic media texts, textual “expressivization” is observed, which is realized primarily with the help of the language games. Its evaluative function comes to the forefront – evaluativity is an integral category of media language. In our article we will focus on examples of language games in Slovak and Russian economic texts, which, in our opinion, contain this evaluation. Language gaming is a misuse of words or letters, a breach of logical correspondence, but, very importantly, it is an incorrectness that is realized by the author and deliberately allowed. Only a deliberate incorrectness will cause not annoyance and bewilderment, but a desire to support the game and try to uncover the author’s underlying intention.
Exploring new dimensions of urban governance: The development of administrative systems in Trieste and Fiume (Rijeka) during the final decades of the Habsburg Empire (1850–1918)
Authors: Hilbert Bálint
Published: December 2024

Urban governance is often perceived as a concept that has emerged over the past half-century, evolving from the policy of urban government. The analysis of this shift, known as the “transformation thesis,” has been criticized by recent studies in the field, which focus on the theory of metagovernance. However, both branches of urban governance literature heavily rely on knowledge of American cities, hindering a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon. There is a growing demand to broaden the temporal and geographical scope of case studies and conduct more comparative research to better understand the roots and current processes of urban governance. While the fundamental driving forces behind the emergence of modern municipal administration during the 19th century have been adequately explored, various characteristics of different geographical locations might add new dimensions and approaches to understanding urban governance. This study offers a comprehensive insight into the birth and early formation of urban governance systems in the free ports of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, namely Trieste and Fiume (Rijeka in Croatian). By analyzing legal documents and applying a mixed-method approach, this study unravels the institutional structures, electoral systems, and municipal authorities of Trieste and Fiume from the 1848 Revolution until the end of the First World War. In addition to the historical and Central European perspectives, this paper aims to explore rarely considered contextual factors of urban governance, such as legal-administrative, socio-economic, and political elements. The comparative analysis of Trieste and Fiume demonstrates that even within the same empire, a wide range of diverse influences could shape urban governance systems. Despite these varied factors and significantly different administrative contexts, surprisingly similar governance practices could also emerge.

Mediação entre pares: formação de conceitos matemáticos por crianças com dificuldades de aprendizagem
Authors: ADELA TONETTO COSTAS FABIANE
Published: December 2024

A pesquisa buscou compreender o processo de formação de conceitos através da mediação realizada por uma criança que não apresentava dificuldades de aprendizagem em relação à outra que apresentava dificuldades de aprendizagem matemáticas. Ocorreu durante um ano, numa turma de 3º ano do ensino fundamental, com uma dupla de crianças, do sexo masculino com idade de oito anos, escolhidas em conjunto com a professora regente. A abordagem metodológica foi qualitativa (LÜDKE & ANDRÉ, 1986) e o estudo de caso analítico (YIN, 2001). Os resultados evidenciam os momentos evolutivos caracterizados por uma descontinuidade, interdependência e emancipação, revelando uma paulatina independização entre os pares, denotando visível avanço conceitual da criança com dificuldades de aprendizagem e ratificando os processos de mediação como capitais para formação de conceitos matemáticos.
Reivindicações por terras indígenas a partir do passado no jornal Porantim
Authors: Oeste Laura
Published: December 2024

No contexto de abertura política da ditadura civil-militar brasileira, o debate pelos direitos dos povos indígenas foi intenso. Algumas mídias, como o jornal Porantim, acompanharam essas articulações e publicaram diversas matérias que traziam uma variedade de discussões. Entre os destaques, estavam as disputas por terra, tema presente durante toda a década de 1980. Para esta escrita, nosso objetivo é analisar um aspecto em comum observado nestas publicações: o uso do passado como uma forma de legitimar o direito ao território. De maneira geral, argumentamos que os materiais veiculados pelo jornal foram muito efetivos em colocar essa questão em seus escritos, apresentando grande diversidade de usos.
A trajetória de Domingo Manduré
Authors: Schulz Praia Felipe
Published: December 2024

O artigo tem por objetivo analisar a trajetória de Domingo Manduré, uma liderança indígena guarani que teve destacada atuação em meio aos conflitos de independência na região do Rio da Prata, em princípios do século XIX. A partir de um exercício de micro-história, se busca compreender as possibilidades que se abriam aos indígenas nessa conjuntura, bem como identificar as maneiras como agiram e, mais especificamente, a partir de quais interesses tomaram suas decisões. Através do exame de correspondências entre autoridades envolvidas nesses conflitos, foi possível evidenciar que a relevância que assumiam lideranças como Manduré nesse contexto, permitia que pudessem negociar seu posicionamento, angariando uma melhor condição social. Da mesma forma, explicitou-se que esse posicionamento podia levar mais em conta interesses econômicos do que a crença num projeto político específico.
A Historiografia como laboratório de epistemologia
Authors: Damaceno de Almeida Neto João
Published: December 2024

O presente trabalho parte da concepção de Wehling (2006) de analisar a história da historiografia como laboratório de uma epistemologia histórica. Neste sentido, o respectivo texto, tem como seu objetivo examinar a obra historiográfica de Voltaire, Ensaio sobre os Costumes e o Espírito das Nações de 1756. Enquanto fonte possibilidade observar o processo de construção da explanação histórica pelo autor, bem como visa identificar, a partir de um diálogo de Lopes (2001) e Foucault (2010), o que Voltaire guarda em seu programa do chamado antigo regime historiográfico e o que apresenta de novo à historiografia como campo de saber e discurso.
Os opostos, se não se atraem, se complementam
Authors: Costa Silva Guilherme
Published: December 2024

A longa revolução francesa é um dos temas sobre os quais os que lidam com passado mais se debruçaram e produziram, entre esses estão Alexis de Tocqueville e Karl Marx. No presente artigo, apresentarei a conjuntura dessa revolução sobre a qual tratam os autores. Em seguida, compararei as duas visões tendo como tese que, embora sejam tradicionalmente entendidos como ideologicamente opostos, Tocqueville e Marx, quando analisados em conjunto, possibilitam uma visão mais “diversa” desse processo.
Jornal “O Combatente” de Santa Maria e o enaltecimento do passado em prol do Partido Republicano Rio-Grandense
Authors: Prates Bordinhão Eduardo
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo analisa no jornal O Combatente de Santa Maria, RS, as representações acerca do passado feitas entre janeiro e junho de 1892, durante o período do governo da dissidência republicana, e como essas representações são usadas para a criação de uma tradição política para o Partido Republicano Rio-grandense (PRR). Como fontes foram usados os 23 primeiros exemplares lançados pelo jornal no ano de 1892, a partir desse escopo documental, foram selecionados para análise artigos que possuíssem vinculações entre o PRR e o passado. A análise da narrativa do jornal revelou como o PRR foi representado de forma positiva, tendo sua imagem vinculada à memória coletiva. Trata-se de uma associação que relaciona uma continuidade entre a ideologia do partido e um passado de valores positivos, algo possível de exercer influência no imaginário social e, por conseguinte, na política do estado.

“What We Can Do.” New Year’s Pioneer Revue at Prague Castle and the New Image of Socialist Childhood
Authors: Knapík Jiří
Published: December 2024

This study examines a pioneer revue, which was broadcast live from Prague Castle by Czechoslovak Television on 1st January 1965. By reconstructing the programme, the study aims to shed light on the circumstances surrounding the creation of the revue, examining both the critical reflection on the pioneer movement at the time and the formulation of a new image of socialist childhood influenced by changes in the post-Stalin Soviet Union – two general aspects previously explored in the literature. Utilizing cultural historical research methods, the study combines media research and the cultural-political elements of the children’s movement within the socialist state. It investigates contemporary attitudes towards some of the values associated with childhood and the image of the ideal pioneer (e.g. children’s public service activities, engagement, physical fitness, and relationship with authority), linking them to efforts to reform the pioneer movement in the second half of the 1960s.
Crisis y Violencia. Sobre las consecuencias políticas de las teorías genéticas de la significatividad en Hans Blumenberg y René Girard
Authors: García-Durán Pedro
Published: December 2024

El presente artículo tratará de proporcionar algunas consideraciones acerca de la crisis de nuestro presente a través del diálogo entre los pensamientos de Hans Blumenberg y René Girard. Una comprensión que conduce a una perspectiva genética, es decir, a preguntarse por las necesidades que producen este cambio y los elementos que se ponen en juego en la historia. Sin embargo, el diálogo entre ellos evidencia diferencias en torno a sus respectivas comprensiones antropológicas. Divergencias que abren posibilidades distintas ante la crisis actual, pero que coinciden en mostrarla como una crisis causada por una mitificación del deseo y una disolución de los diques que contienen su liberación.
Sinonimia entre verdad y metaforología: Una hermenéutica de la vida
Authors: Salas Martínez Àlex
Published: December 2024

El ensayo que sigue busca atar en un mismo nudo la primacía de la creación humana con la generación de metáforas colectivas constituyentes de sentido, siendo este un vértice en el que las dos posturas filosóficas liberan la comprensión social de la agenesia en la que el nihilismo y las corrientes positivistas la han sumergido. Actualmente las culturas occidentales han relegado al olvido el medio de conservación del individuo: alumbrar respuestas por la vida. La capacidad hermenéutica ha quedado congelada. No obstante, si se quiere sobrellevar el cambio climático, el reconocimiento de la relatividad de la realidad y su naturaleza metafórica es necesaria. La metaforología blumenberguiana se alza como senda hacia la comprensión caritativa de la realidad, cambiante y permeable de sentidos anteriores.
La mediación tecno-científica frente al absolutismo de la realidad
Authors: Beresñak Fernando , Bonfil Miranda
Published: December 2024

Este trabajo explora problemas que se derivan de la relación ambivalente que el ser humano establece con la técnica, recuperando las elaboraciones de Hans Blumenberg sobre al surgimiento de la ciencia moderna. Se comienza realizando un recorrido histórico siguiendo los pasos del filósofo y rescatando observaciones críticas que sus contemporáneos elaboraron en contra de la voluntad autodeificante del ser humano y el ímpetu neutralizador de la técnica. Al avanzar sobre la estructura teórica de Blumenberg, se busca propiciar espacios para pensar las intrincadas formas en que la técnica se vincula con el mundo de la vida en el siglo XXI.
