Consentimiento, agencia y altruismo. Reflexiones en el marco de la gestación para otros
Authors: Hernández Corrochano Elena
Published: December 2021

En este artículo se examinan tres conceptos, consentimiento, agencia y altruismo, en el marco del discurso favorable a una legislación que autorice la Gestación Para Otros (GPO) en España, sin pretender en ningún momento hacer un análisis del mismo. Se trata de un discurso con pluralidad de interlocutores que, desde posiciones ideológicas muy dispares, manejan similares argumentos para defender su postura. El estudio de estos tres conceptos se ha realizado dentro de las tesis del Feminismo Materialista Frances (FMF), utilizando la categoría sexo/clase para el análisis de los datos extraídos de la investigación etnográfica que se está realizando sobre la GPO en España y México. En el apartado sobre el consentimiento se abordan, entre otras cuestiones, el constructo de la maternidad y «la ideología del deseo compartido», temas importantes para profundizar en la retórica de la libre elección, monopolizada por el discurso favorable para interpretar las acciones de las mujeres que participan en esta práctica. Los conceptos agencia y altruismo, utilizados cada vez más por los partidarios de la GPO para significar las acciones de las mujeres donantes y gestantes, son abordados en el texto desde la crítica feminista. Este análisis demuestra cómo este discurso a favor emplea estos términos desde la autosuficiencia −que no autonomía− del individuo, ocultando la mercantilización del potencial reproductivo de las mujeres y el control que sobre la reproducción humana ejerce el sistema patriarcal. El artículo concluye señalando cómo es el reconocimiento mutuo que expresan las mujeres participantes en la práctica −en tanto que sujetos dominados−, el que mueve a la acción. Una acción que beneficia principalmente a la alianza de dos sistemas de opresión, el patriarcado y el neoliberalismo.
Epistemología feminista de la conciliación: una propuesta práctica para miradas y mujeres en transición
Authors: Martínez-Jiménez Laura
Published: December 2021

Este trabajo reclama la pertinencia de una práctica epistemológica feminista de la conciliación, capaz de aunar sensibilidades y quehaceres modernos y posmodernos. Esta mirada conciliadora permite abordar en su amplia complejidad las relaciones entre las dimensiones macroestructurales, mesoinstitucionales y microencarnadas de las vidas de las mujeres, así como transitar los actuales debates en torno a la (in)validez de las categorías de género y mujer. Para ello, se toma como referencia de partida la Teoría del Punto de Vista de Sandra Harding, paradigma de la nueva epistemología feminista y foco de discrepancias científicas y políticas entre los propios feminismos. A partir de la propuesta de Harding, se analizan críticamente las tensiones feministas que esta teoría plantea y que apuntan hacia ciertos riesgos esencialistas y universalistas y, al mismo tiempo, hacia posibles derivas individualistas o relativistas. Se sugiere entonces el encuentro de esta Teoría del Punto de Vista con un enfoque posmoderno que la complejice y actualice al calor de las actuales discusiones feministas. Ya desde este punto de vista posmoderno, se plantean una serie de enmiendas para afinar la mirada epistemológica feminista: enfrentar el relato único sobre las mujeres a partir de sus diversas experiencias; explorar las distintas experiencias encarnadas para conectarlas y analizarlas en contexto, esto es, sujetas a las relaciones estructurales de poder; sustituir el privilegio epistémico automático por una preferencia crítica y argumentada por las experiencias y relatos de las mujeres; y, finalmente, poner en valor las experiencias y relatos de la propia investigadora para orientar el estudio y, también, exponer los privilegios y limitaciones de su punto de vista.
Perspectiva y análisis de género en las investigaciones sobre movimientos sociales y feminismos en el contexto español: una revisión sistemática
Authors: Morán Neches Lorena , Rodríguez Suárez Julio
Published: December 2021

A pesar de que en los últimos años la movilización social se ha venido constituyendo como un importante campo de estudio para las Ciencias Sociales en general, y para la Sociología en particular, y pese a la relevancia que el activismo feminista ha ido adquiriendo hasta conformarse en la actualidad como uno de los principales movimientos a nivel internacional, no existen en el contexto español revisiones bibliográficas de investigaciones sobre esta temática desarrolladas desde una perspectiva de género. Para paliar en la medida de lo posible esta situación, se ha llevado a cabo una revisión sistemática sobre la perspectiva de género y el análisis de los feminismos en el estudio de los movimientos sociales en nuestro país. De las 101 investigaciones empíricas que cumplían los criterios de inclusión (estudios primarios publicados en las principales revistas españolas de Sociología entre 2010 y 2019), fueron seleccionadas las 19 que abordan de manera central la cuestión de género y los feminismos. Los resultados del análisis de estas investigaciones evidencian la pluralidad y diversidad temática, el uso casi exclusivo de metodología cualitativa, la ausencia de estudios con finalidad interventiva o de aplicación práctica, así como el creciente interés por conocer las nuevas dinámicas, canales y formas particulares de acción que presenta este tipo de activismo, como los feminismos en red o ciberfeminismos, cuyo auge plantea la dicotomía entre la movilización online y la acción social feminista en la calle. Por último, se destaca la necesidad tanto de incluir el género de forma transversal en el análisis de la movilización, como de atender en concreto a la dimensión psicosocial de la participación femenina.
Cine Tunecino contemporáneo y participación de las mujeres en la revolución árabe
Authors: Cubero Alejandra Val
Published: December 2021

La revolución de los jazmines, como se denominó a la revolución árabe en Túnez, se ha llevado a la pantalla desde muy diferentes puntos de vista en los últimos diez años, y ninguna revuelta social anterior ha sido tan mediática tanto dentro como fuera de sus fronteras. Los cineastas de distintas generaciones han recogido el sentimiento de la población tunecina antes, durante y tras los altercados del 17 de diciembre de 2010, en el que el joven Mohamed Bouazizi, vendedor ambulante en la pequeña localidad de Sidi Bouzid, se inmoló tras confiscarle la policía su puesto de frutas, y su muerte desató la revuelta popular en todo el país, y posteriormente en muchos países árabes. Nuestra hipótesis de partida es que el mayor nivel educativo de las mujeres tunecinas, con respecto a otros países de su entorno, el trabajo que desde hace más de cinco décadas han realizado los distintos movimientos de mujeres y asociaciones feministas en Túnez, y el camino emprendido por las directoras pioneras desde los años setenta hasta la actualidad, han sido claves para la contribución activa y comprometida de los directores, pero sobre todo de las directoras de cine, durante este proceso histórico. Directoras y directores que han puesto en el centro de sus obras cinematográficas la participación femenina en la política, en tanto que votantes pero sobre todo como candidatas, que han documentado la implicación de las mujeres en la sociedad civil, y no han dudado en filmar a las impulsoras socias y militantes de los distintos movimientos de mujeres para que ellas, en primera persona, narraran los avances, las dificultades, y los retos de la sociedad tunecina contemporánea.

Correlações entre um padrão construcional e usos metafóricos e literais do verbo construir
Authors: Costa Vitor Cordeiro
Published: December 2021

Este artigo apresenta os achados de um estudo exploratório sobre a correlação entre usos literais e metafóricos do verbo ‘construir’ e o padrão [verbo + (determinante) + substantivo + adjetivo], no qual o adjetivo dá diferentes indicações. Com base na Teoria da Metáfora Conceptual e na Gramática de Construções, ocorrências do item alvo no Corpus Brasileiro foram analisadas por metaforicidade e resultatividade do adjetivo no uso. Argumenta-se que os padrões de correlação podem ser analisados em relação a construções causativas e resultativas ou apenas causativas. Não se encontraram usos literais de ‘construir’ em que o adjetivo no padrão indique resultatividade, e esse arranjo foi considerado impossível no português brasileiro. O artigo recomenda a realização de estudos complementares sobre a relação entre construções e metáforas.
«Tachados», proscriptos y escindidos. El lencinismo en los inicios de la Era Demócrata (Mendoza, 1930-1934)
Authors: Abraham Andrés
Published: December 2021

Con el golpe de Estado del 6 de septiembre de 1930 llegó a Mendoza una intervención federal, encabezada por el nacionalista José María Rosa (hijo), que duró hasta febrero de 1932. Luego asumió la gobernación el demócrata Ricardo Videla, quien gobernó hasta 1935. Ambos gobiernos procuraron restringir al máximo la participación política y las chances electorales de la Unión Cívica Radical Lencinista y de las facciones yrigoyenistas a nivel local. El presente trabajo busca analizar los mecanismos utilizados por ambos gobiernos para impedir la acción política del lencinismo y reconstruir cuál fue la respuesta de dicho partido ante tales trabas. Se pretende matizar con ello el peso relativo del fraude electoral en los distintos comicios del período, respecto de otras cortapisas institucionales y argucias legales, o bien la apelación a otro tipo de restricciones paraestatales como la violencia política.
Las tensiones de la justicia constitucional con el legislador y el juez ordinario
Authors: Henríquez Viñas Miriam
Published: December 2021

El artículo trata sobre la jurisdicción constitucional que realiza el Tribunal Constitucional de Chile, en el sentido restringido del control de constitucionalidad de las normas infraconstitucionales, con miras a analizar los aspectos controvertidos de sus relaciones con el legislador y la jurisdicción ordinaria. En el estudio de estos aspectos se plantean las cuestiones de diseño o práctica constitucional que han generado críticas y tensiones interorgánicas; se presentan ideas y propuestas para el debate constituyente en curso, se examinan la doctrina constitucional chilena y comparada, así como la jurisprudencia del Tribunal Constitucional.
Prestigiando el trabajo de cuidados en los servicios de ayuda a domicilio
Authors: Moreno Colom Sara
Published: December 2021

El objetivo del artículo es analizar hasta qué punto la Administración pública puede contribuir a la profesionalización del trabajo de cuidados. Para ello, se presenta el estudio de caso realizado sobre el nuevo modelo de gestión del Servicio de Atención Domiciliaria impulsado por el Ayuntamiento de Barcelona en el marco del proyecto Superilles Socials. La hipótesis de partida apunta que, a diferencia del modelo tradicional, dicha propuesta basada en la organización del trabajo en equipo autogestionado y limitado territorialmente conlleva mejoras materiales y simbólicas para las personas empleadas y usuarias. Como conclusión, se apunta que más allá de crear nuevas profesiones relacionadas con la organización social de los cuidados parece mejor estrategia prestigiar las profesiones existentes con el impulso de nuevos modelos de gestión desde la Administración pública.
Echarnos la mano. Experiencias organizativas en torno a la sostenibilidad de la vida de mujeres trabajadoras del hogar migrantes mazatecas en colonias populares de Puebla (México)
Authors: Vera Vega Cristina Bertha , Marega Magalí
Published: December 2021

Analizamos las experiencias de organización colectiva en torno al trabajo para la sostenibilidad de la vida, de mujeres trabajadoras del hogar mazatecas migrantes internas a la ciudad de Puebla, México. Muchas de ellas comenzaron a “trabajar en casa” desde tempranas edades y, aunque esta labor ha sido su experiencia laboral más regular, también se dedicaron al comercio o la elaboración de artesanías, y de modo permanente, al trabajo no remunerado en sus propios hogares y comunidades.

Proponemos definir estas formas organizativas como politicidad doméstica, dinámica que trasciende los canales formales de expresión, y que se ancla en experiencias cotidianas de organización en torno a redes de reciprocidad, cooperación y cuidados, no exentas de conflictos. Estas dinámicas tienen antecedentes directos en los entramados comunitarios construidos históricamente, que se actualizan de modos diversos al llegar a las grandes ciudades, y especialmente en contextos de crisis exacerbada como el abierto por la pandemia.

Authors: S Thylashri , N Manikandaprabu , T Jayakumar , S Vijayachitra , G Kiruthiga
Published: December 2021

Pedestrians are essential objects in computer vision. Pedestrian detection in images or videos plays an important role in many applications such as real-time monitoring, counting pedestrians at various events, detecting falls of the elderly, etc. It is formulated as a problem of the automatic identification and location of pedestrians in pictures or videos. In real images, the art of pedestrian detection is an important task for major applications such as video surveillance, autonomous driving systems, etc. Pedestrian detection is also an important feature of the autonomous vehicle driving system because it identifies pedestrians and minimizes accidents between vehicles and pedestrians. The research trend in the field of vehicle electronics and driving safety, vision-based pedestrian recognition technologies for smart vehicles have established themselves loudly or slowing down the vehicle. In general, the visual pedestrian detection progression capable of be busted down into three consecutive steps: pedestrian detection, pedestrian recognition, and pedestrian tracking. There is also visual pedestrian recognition in the vehicle. Finally, we study the challenges and evolution of research in the future.

Ambiguity as a Communicative Style: A Study of Rufftown Records
Authors: Nkansah Samuel Kwesi , Gyasi Rexford Boateng
Published: December 2021

Songs are one of the oldest forms of literature and they continue to play important roles in the socialization of members of a society. Considering the importance of songs, this study sought to analyze ambiguity in Ghanaian songs focusing on songs produced by one of the vibrant production houses in Ghana ‘Ruff town Records’. The study was based on 15 sampled songs by Ebony Reigns and Wendy Shay, the leading artistes of the record label. The study revealed instances of ambiguity in 10 of the sampled songs with the causes of these indeterminacies being mainly phonological intonation and lexical choices. These ambiguities were euphemistically deployed mostly to highlight sexual images. The study has implications for revealing the trends and patterns of contemporary Ghanaian music. It is therefore recommended that more studies should be carried out on Ghanaian songs, focusing on other styles and presentation techniques employed by song writers.
Pogranicze wiersza wolnego i prozy w perspektywie wersologicznej. Próba diagnozy
Authors: Pietras Wojciech
Published: December 2021

Celem artykułu jest rozpoznanie przyczyn, które przesądziły o nieobecności pogranicza wiersza wolnego i prozy w dotychczasowych badaniach wersologicznych, oraz nakreślenie perspektywy pozwalającej włączyć utwory pograniczne do zakresu wersologii. Nieobecność ta wydaje się skutkiem przyjęcia następujących założeń: poszukiwania precyzyjnej formuły wiersza wolnego, skupienia na jego aspekcie brzmieniowo-rytmicznym i ujmowania go jednocześnie w opozycje wiersz wolny–proza oraz poezja–proza. Wizualnej specyfice utworów pogranicznych najbliższa jest teoria wiersza wolnego jako tekstu graficznego, wymaga ona jednak modyfikacji, które uniezależnią ją od wymienionych, ograniczających założeń.
Transfiguracja – Piękna złośnica Jacques’a Rivette’a w świetle mimo-sekularnej myśli o filmie i mediach światłowodowych
Authors: Bohdziewicz Janusz
Published: December 2021

The essay is an interpretation of the film by Jacques Rivette La Belle Noiseuse (1991) within the context of post-secular studies. The sketch is inspired primarily by the writings of Martin Heidegger and Jean-Luc Nancy, and it also corresponds with the Bible and biblical studies. The author describes the creative process shown in the film as an act of salvation which occurs between the painter and his model. The hiding of the resulting image is understood here in relation to the passion, cross and burial of Jesus which brings the hope for a liberated life and “the new creation”. The film is made in a very consistent way, which opens up the perspective of crossing the world of images, paintings and classical films (the world of stage), towards the art of mutual respect (the world of interface). Rivette’s work contains a multitude of relevant observations and indications regarding psychology, religion and culture, but it also reveals the possibility of a new way of thinking about film and the media, close to Nancy’s post-metaphysical thought.
Zabił, nie zabił i kto kogo zabił? O filmie Zabicie ciotki Grzegorza Królikiewicza
Authors: Dondzik Michał

The author reconstructs the history of the film’s making, recalls the memories of actor Robert Herubin, cinematographer Krzysztof Ptak, and director Grzegorz Krolikiewicz. The author reads Killing Auntie through the prism of Andrzej Bursa’s prose, refers to the heritage of surrealism and the way the director refers to it. According to the author it is important to answer the question of whether Killing Auntie is a specific kind of performance. The article concludes with a reflection on the moral dimension of Killing Auntie and an attempt to answer the questions: did the murder in Killing Auntie really happen and could any of us commit it?
Protest kobiet. Wizerunek katolicyzmu w wytwórczości współczesnych polskich reżyserek
Authors: Kornacki Krzysztof
Published: December 2021

In the second decade of the 20th century (especially in the years 2016-2020), a significant number of films by Polish female directors were released in which Catholicism and the Catholic Church were attacked. They were: W imię… [In the Name of…], Body/ciało [Body], Twarz (Mug) and Córka boga [The Other Lamb] – all directed by Małgorzata Szumowska; Dzikie róże [Wild Roses] by Anna Jadowska, Pokot [Spoor] by Agnieszka Holland and Kasia Adamik, Wieża. Jasny dzień [Tower. A Bright Day] by Jagoda Szelc, Powrót, [Back Home] by Magdalena Łazarkiewicz, Maryjki [Marygoround] by Daria Woszek, as well as a documentary Komunia  [Communion] by Anna Zamecka. The polemic related to the above-mentioned movies commented on the religiosity of Catholics and the quality of the institutional church (priests, hierarchies, methods of ministering and teaching), religious control and repression of corporeality and sexuality (including female sexuality), and Catholicism as the foundation of the patriarchal system. These films also feature elements of the "positive program", a proposal for a new cultural paradigm (new spirituality), organized around Nature, with the suggestion of matriarchy. From the point of view of social communication, the content and poetics of above-mentioned the films were similar, according to the author, to the content of the protests of the Ogólnopolski Strajk Kobiet (Polish Women's Strike), which demonstrated in 2016 and 2020 against the tightening of abortion laws.
Posybilizm metafzyczny w filmie i serialu najnowszym
Authors: Biedny Jan
Published: December 2021

The article focuses on the reading of Waldemar Frąc’s film theory in the context of the newest film examples. In the first part, the author presents the most important features of the “possible cinema” and expands it with a philosophical possible worlds theory, and also gives the context of mind-game films. In the second part, the author proposes an interpretation of two films: Annihilation and Arrival, and the Dark series in the face of the presented theoretical solutions. The main point of the analysis is to show how the worlds presented in the given films exist, how the concept of possibility/the possible world is manifested, and what changes occur at the level of the film narrative itself. Interpretation of the film examples leads the author to the conclusion that metaphysical possibilism in the film and series reveals not only ontological themes, but also has significant intercultural value and moves existential reflection.
Shimmer and whisper
Authors: Stok Witold
Published: December 2021

The author of the article, one of the acclaimed Polish cinematographers, describes his practical eforts involved in making two short documentary films on Holocaust directed by him. The first one,Sonderzug (1978), was based on Stok’s idea to recreate his first emotional reaction to the landscape around Treblinka in the film that lasts 9 minutes, as long as the way of the Jews from the ramp to their end in the death camp. The other film, Prayer (1981), is the portrayal of a Japanese Buddhist monk praying at the site of the former Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. The formal inspiration of the film came from Japanese visual art.
Joanna Bator w polskim polu literackim
Authors: Kocznur Agnieszka
Published: December 2021

The starting point of the article is locating Joanna Bator in the Polish literary field using Pierre Bourdieu’s methodology, and considering such elements as gender determinants, the author’s attitude towards the media and self-creation, and the time of the prose’s debut. The Nike Prize Bator was awarded in 2013, and not only did enable this author to maintain autonomy in her field, but also led to a change in poetics, i.e. a change in the dominant genre of her novel from magical realism to fairy tale. The article describes the conditions that influenced the transfer of the author by critics from the current of high and award-winning literature to the prose of the medium.

The article presents the concept of collaborative writing or multi-author writing using the example of the novel Black Paris by Jolanta Fuchsówna, a forgotten columnist of the “Ilustrowany Kurier Codzienny”, and the avant-garde poet and writer Jan Brzękowski. This interwar novel from 1932 is yet to be published in book form. The specificity of the preserved materials and the manuscript make the concept of collaborative writing the operative one for studying the text and describing these writers’ collaboration.
Capital, Ideology, and the Liberal Order
Authors: Cowen Nick , Geloso Vincent
Published: December 2021

Thomas Piketty’sCapital and Ideology(2020) offers a powerful critique of ideological justifications for inequality in capitalist societies. Does this mean we should reject capitalist institutions altogether? This paper defends some aspects of capitalism by explaining the epistemic function of market economies and their ability to harness capital to meet the needs of the relatively disadvantaged. We support this classical liberal position with reference to empirical research on historical trends in inequality that challenges some of Piketty’s interpretations of the data. Then we discuss the implications of this position in terms of limits on the efficacy of participatory governance within firms and the capacity of the state to levy systematic taxes on wealth.
Democracy Naturalized: In Search of the Individual in the Post-truth Condition
Authors: Fuller Steve
Published: December 2021

This article takes a ‘naturalistic’ look at the historically changing nature of the individual and its implications for the terms on which democracy might be realized, starting from classical Athens, moving through early debates in evolutionary theory, to contemporary moral and political thought. Generally speaking, liberal democracy sees individuality as the mark of an evolutionarily mature species, whereas socialist democracy sees it as the mark of an evolutionary immature species. Overall, the individual has been ‘de-naturalized’ over time, resulting in the indeterminate figure who thrives in the post-truth condition.
Post-deliberative Democracy
Authors: Heath Joseph
Published: December 2021

Within any adversarial rule-governed system, it often takes time for strategically motivated agents to discover effective exploits. Once discovered, these strategies will soon be copied by all other participants. Unless it is possible to adjust the rules to preclude them, the result will be a degradation of the performance of the system. This is essentially what has happened to public political discourse in democratic states. Political actors have discovered, not just that the norm of truth can be violated in specific ways, but that many of the norms governing rational deliberation can also be violated, not just without penalty, but often for significant political gain. As a result, the level of noise (false or misleading communications) has come to drown out the signal (earnest attempts at deliberation). The post-truth political condition is the cumulative result of innovations developed by actors who adopt an essentially strategic orientation toward political communications.
Behind the Screens: Post-truth, Populism, and the Circulation of Elites
Authors: Lynch William T.
Published: December 2021

The alleged emergence of a ‘post-truth’ regime links the rise of new forms of social media and the reemergence of political populism. Post-truth has theoretical roots in the interdisciplinary field ofScience and Technology Studies(STS), with sociologists of science arguing that both true and false claims should be explained by the same kinds of social causes. Most STS theorists have sought to deflect blame for post-truth, while at the same time enacting a normative turn, looking to deconstruct truth claims and subject expertise to criticism. Steve Fuller has developed a positive case for post-truth in science, arguing that post-truth democratizes science. I criticize this argument and suggest an alternative approach that draws on the prehistory of the field in the 1930s and 1940s, when philosophers and sociologists sought to define the social conditions necessary for reliable knowledge production that might stem mass media irrationalism.
Fitting and Fudging: On the Folly of Trying to Define Post-truth
Authors: Rider Sharon
Published: December 2021

I propose that the ‘post-truth condition’, i.e., the vulnerability of our institutions for establishing and negotiating what is true and worth knowing, is not primarily a pathology, a susceptibility to external manipulation or coercion, as tends to be stressed in the literature, but has first and foremost to do with the unraveling of certain epistemic assumptions. In analogy with T.S. Eliot’s modernist notion that the attempt to capture and concretize an experience or a state of mind requires ‘objective correlatives’ which it conveys, I argue that the trope of post-truth to express the embattled status of expertise can be understood in terms of failed symbolization. In the second section, I spell out what this means in terms of Donald Davidson’s discussion of the problem of defining truth. In the last section, I propose a ‘poetics of political theory’ for understanding the post-truth condition.
Novel biomarker and drug delivery systems for theranostics – extracellular vesicles
Authors: Stępień Ewa Ł. , Rząca Carina , Moskal Paweł
Published: December 2021

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nano- and micro-sized double-layered membrane entities derived from most cell types and released into biological fluids. Biological properties (cell-uptake, biocompatibility), and chemical (composition, structure) or physical (size, density) characteristics make EVs a good candidate for drug delivery systems (DDS). Recent advances in the field of EVs (e.g., scaling-up production, purification) and developments of new imaging methods (total-body positron emission tomography [PET]) revealed benefits of radiolabeled EVs in diagnostic and interventional medicine as a potential DDs in theranostics.
Qui capite ipse sua in statuit uestigia sese. Lucrezio e lo scetticismo nel libro IV delDe rerum natura
Authors: Corradi Michele
Published: December 2021

In his refutation of skepticism in book IV ofDe rerum natura(469–521), Lucretius uses argumentative methods typical of Epicurus: the περιτροπή is in many ways similar to that used by the philosopher in book XXV of Περὶ φύσεως, the same book where, in a passage dedicated to the criticism against determinists, can be found a reference to the criterion of the πρόληψις, that Lucretius exploits in his refutation. Moreover, Lucretius develops a strong demonstration concerning the irrefutability of αἴσθησις as a criterion of truth, which finds significant points of contact with a large fragment, transmitted by Diogenes Laertius (X 31–32) and generally traced back to theCanonof Epicurus. The last argument used by the poet is a pragmatic one: for the skeptic it would be impossible to live. The argument is similar to the praxis-based argument used by Epicurus in the Περὶ φύσεως against the partisans of determinism. But the pragmatic argument goes back to a very ancient layer of anti-skeptical polemics, even prior to Epicurus and already present in book Γ of Aristotle’sMetaphysics. Although later influences cannot be excluded, Lucretius appears to be a faithful witness of Epicurus. Probably in a lost section of the Περὶ φύσεως, the philosopher of Samos showed positions going against skeptical or proto-skeptical attitude, contemporary or earlier to the time of the philosopher, probably developed in a Democritean or a Socratic context. Epicurus’ad hominemstrategy is very close to that of the philosopher in thePrincipal DoctrinesXXIII–XXV, and certainly follows Aristotle’ strategy in book Γ ofMetaphysicsagainst those who deny the principle of non-contradiction. In a similar way, Epicurus does not have one figure as the objective of his refutation but constructs a hypothetical dialectical opponent capable of embodying a series of philosophical tendencies judged by the founder ofKeposto be extremely dangerous not only for the correct exercise of thought but for the human being’s life itself.
A semantic typology of location, existence, possession and copular verbs: areal patterns of polysemy in Mainland East and Southeast Asia
Authors: Chappell Hilary , Lü Shanshan
Published: December 2021

This study is based on a sample of 116 languages from the Mainland East and Southeast Asian linguistic area. Its first objective is to examine four distinct synchronic patterns of areal polysemy, created by the semantic domains of copular, locative, existential and possessive verbs and the constructions they form. As a consequence, its second objective is to model the diachronic change underlying four language types identified on this basis from the data. We argue that there are three grammaticalization pathways which motivate the four synchronic patterns: Type III languages are distinguished by the grammaticalization chain: (Postural verb) > (Dwell) > Locative > Existential > Possessive,while the other two types, Type II and Type IV, show an opposing pathway: (Grasp) > Possessive > Existential. Type I and Type II languages additionally reveal a recurrent polysemy betweenLocativeandCopularverbs. On this basis, an implicational universal is adduced to the effect that no diachronic adjacency exists betweenlocativeandpossessiveconstructions. Crucially, the intervening stage of anexistentialconstruction provides the necessary bridging context forpossessivereanalysis in this first pathway, whilepossessiveverbs are formally distinct fromlocativesin the second, bearing no diachronic relationship to them. The findings on the patterns of polysemy sharing reinforce the notion of a clear typological split between Tibeto-Burman languages on the one hand, and Sinitic, Kra–Dai, Hmong–Mien, and Austroasiatic on the other.

The evidence-based educational reform was initiated in the field of medicine and now has become a cutting-edge reform wave in the world. As a new pattern of educational reform, it aims to optimize educational decision-making and practice and promote the improvement of education quality, using scientific research evidence. Contrary to experience-based traditional education practice, evidence-based education emphasizes scientific support and data collection, transforms the individual experience into replicable regional experience, and provides scientific basis for implementation of educational policies, strategies and programs.
The Impact of IFRS Changes on Companies’ Financial Indicators
Authors: Liutkevičiūtė Inga , Budrionytė Ramunė , Subačienė Rasa
Published: December 2021

The ever-changing economic environment changes the business conditions and performance and requires to reflect the changes on accounting information of legal entities. The development of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is a dynamic and complex process, which helps to provide fair and true information on legal entities. Although, it’s important to evaluate the changes of accounting standards by preparers of financial statements and the users of the information. The purpose of the research is to determine the impact of significant changes of international financial reporting standards on the financial indicators of the companies during 2017-2020 period. Research methods of comparative analysis of scientific literature and legal acts, content analysis, case analysis, grouping of information, systematization, comparative analysis and generalization were used. Main research results state that in 2017-2020 the key changes were related to three standards: IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments, IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 16 - Leases. The study of the impact of the application of the new standards on the financial indicators of 24 Lithuanian listed companies revealed that the new IFRS 16 had the greatest impact on the financial indicators of the companies. The first time, the application of IFRS 16 had a significant impact on 6 of the 24 companies analysed. There was a negative impact on liquidity and solvency ratios, working capital, return on assets and the turnover of assets.

Authors: Rupšys Petras
Published: December 2021

We consider stochastic logistic type delayed growth model (Verhulst, Gompertz, Richards) of a single species population.The objective of this paper is to deduce a procedureon the estimation of parameters. We derive approximate stationary distributions in the case of small time delays. For the estimate of parameters we apply the L1 distance procedure. We propose approximate estimations of the parameters.
Present value of firm asset in case of correlated defaults: a generalized structural approach of credit risk
Authors: Valužis Mantas
Published: December 2021

This article investigatesthe present value of a firm’s asset in the case of n \geq 2 correlateddefaults. The structural approach of credit risk is developed in the case when default boundaries follow geometric Brownian motions. Correlated defaults are defined by the implied correlation of Brownian motions. The operational risk and the risk of financial market changes are allowed in this model. Also, the impact of implied correlation to the present value of firm’s asset is shown numerically.

Component-oriented information system decomposition
Authors: Bagušytė Lina , Lupeikienė Audronė
Published: December 2021

This paper analyses how to bridge the gap between business and supporting information system requirements. It is showed that solution of the problem depends on the analysis methodology of the enterprise system. Decomposition methods used during the analysis stage are discussed. The strategy how to formulate information system functional requirements, taking into account the business system model, is presented. Using the proposed strategy information system is decomposed to interacting components as well.
Economic Consequences of Covid-19 Pandemic: An Analysis of Exchange Rate Behaviour
Authors: Sethi Maheswar , Dash Sakti Ranjan , Kumar Swain Rabindra , Das Seema
Published: December 2021

This paper examines the effect of Covid-19 on currency exchange rate behaviour by taking a sample of 37 countries over a period from 4th January 2020 to 30th April 2021. Three variables, such as daily confirmed cases, daily deaths, and the world pandemic uncertainty index (WPUI), are taken as the measure of Covid-19. By applying fixed-effect regression, the study documents that the exchange rate behaves positively to the Covid-19 outbreak, particularly to daily confirmed cases and daily deaths, which implies that the value of other currencies against the US dollar has been depreciated. However, the impact of WPUI is insignificant. On studying the time-varying impact of the pandemic, the study reveals that the Covid-19 has an asymmetric impact on exchange rate over different time frames. Further, it is observed that though daily confirmed cases and daily deaths show a uniform effect, WPUI puts an asymmetric effect on the exchange rate owing to the nature of economies.
Learning Human Factors/Ergonomics (HFE) in Architectural Education: A Study of Studio Approach in Bangladesh
Authors: Biswas Sudipti , Kundu Gourab , Imam Chowdhury Ali
Published: December 2021

All the human activities take place in the built environment and therefore human factors/ergonomics (HFE) is an essential design consideration for the built environment designing process. Surprisingly, there have been limited studies on integrating HFE in the design process as well as in the education of architecture. Teaching HFE in architecture is different from teaching HFE in the disciplines that focuses on precise ergonomic application. Architectural education primarily deals with accommodating human activities in the built environment; and therefore, teaching HFE focuses on anthropometry, space standards, and an in-depth understanding of space requirements for relevant human activities. In architectural education, HFE can be taught as theory courses and/or in the design studio courses. This article focuses on the studio approach with an overview of several studio courses and a meticulous study of a studio course that teaches HFE principles. The study follows desktop research, participant observation, and a questionnaire survey. It is observed that the studio approach provides an opportunity for a deeper understanding of the HFE principles and their application in space design. Specifically, the practice of learning within the studio setup, group work and peer critique, assessment and feedback with critique sessions before the evaluation, etc. have a profound impact on the students to internalizeHFE in their thought process. A survey among the students also indicates the effectiveness of the studio approach for learning HFE.
La intervención social del Estado durante el gobierno de Cambiemos en Argentina. El caso del Programa Hacemos Futuro
Authors: Zuccaro Agustín , Laya Fernando-Gabriel
Published: December 2021

El objetivo del artículo es caracterizar la intervención social del Estado durante el gobierno de Cambiemos a partir de la puesta en funcionamiento del Programa “Hacemos Futuro”. En este sentido, el trabajo expone los resultados de un informe técnico donde se analizaron tanto los aspectos formales y normativos, como el proceso de implementación del mencionado programa entre 2018-2019. Se trata de un abordaje cualitativo que fue viabilizado a partir del análisis del discurso, en función del cual surge como principal conclusión la formulación de la pobreza como el “locus” de la cuestión social y una adopción del abordaje estatal que buscó construir un andamiaje articulador entre la perspectiva del mercado y la gestión gubernamental de la asistencia.
Contribuciones a la discusión sobre libertad y educación religiosas en Colombia, un país que afirma ser laico
Authors: Echeverri Alberto
Published: December 2021

En el artículo se encuentra la documentación más relevante acerca de la educación religiosa que han producido tanto el Estado como la Iglesia católica romana en Colombia entre fines del siglo XIX e inicios del XXI. Esta documentación se somete a un examen de tipo hermenéutico crítico para detectar en los textos el itinerario que debe cumplir el derecho a la libertad religiosa para contribuir a generar, en el marco de la actual Constitución Política y del Concilio Vaticano II, la formación religiosa desde una educación jurídicamente coherente con la laicidad del Estado. Y que, en consecuencia, favorezca los derechos de quienes profesan las diversas religiones que conviven en el país, y aun de los que niegan su pertenencia a cualquiera de ellas. Se propone una revisión del encuadramiento jurídico, de la relación entre el Estado y la Iglesia católica romana, determinante histórico de la mayor o menor laicidad de la sociedad colombiana.
La confrontación entre el Estado colombiano y el Bloque Caribe de las FARC-EP entre 2002 y 2010: una mirada comparada
Authors: Paez-Murillo Carlos , Manosalva-Correa Andrés
Published: December 2021

El presente artículo analiza la dinámica del conflicto armado entre el Estado colombiano y el Bloque Caribe de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia - Ejército del Pueblo (FARC-EP) en el periodo de la política de Seguridad Democrática (2002-2010). Mediante un análisis comparado de las tres subregiones en donde hacía presencia mayoritariamente esta guerrilla en la Costa Caribe —Montes de María, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta y Serranía del Perijá—, se observan las acciones de ambas partes con el fin de indagar las razones por las cuales el Estado tuvo un mayor éxito en la subregión montemariana en relación con las otras dos zonas. Se concluye que las características geoestratégicas de Montes de María llevaron a que el Estado tuviera acciones militares e integrales más intensas, las cuales tuvieron como resultado la temprana desarticulación de las estructuras farianas que allí operaban. Por su parte, los frentes que hacían presencia en la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta fueron desplazados a la Serranía del Perijá tan solo al finalizar el periodo de estudio, manteniendo la actividad del bloque en esta zona fronteriza.
