Authors:   PhD student, Laboratory Langue et Société, Faculty of Languages, Letters and Arts, University of Ibn Tofail Kenitra, Morocco.
Published: September 2022

ne of the thorniest issues regarding language in education in the majority of post-colonial countries is the issue of the language(s) of instruction. This study examines how Moroccan high school science teachers perceive the language of instruction when teaching scientific subjects. The Frame Law 51 17, which stipulates the use of foreign languages in the teaching of scientific subjects, is the point of departure. As such, the study main objective is to explore the appropriate language(s) of instruction in regards to the teaching of scientific subjects from high school science teachers’ perspective. In this study, a questionnaire was administered to 66 high school science teachers randomly chosen. The questionnaires were analyzed by SPSS. In parallel, interviews were conducted with nine science teachers which were analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s 2006 Thematic Analysis. Different results were revealed most importantly the positive attitudes that science teachers have towards English as a means of instruction, the incompatibility of language planning and policy (LPP) with the teaching/learning process needs inter alia. These results can be seen of great importance for syllabus designers, researchers in the field and teachers to understand more the nature of the issue. Accordingly, some recommendations to better the teaching/learning process regarding scientific subjects are suggested.

Multi-Objective Optimal Control of Autocatalytic Esterification Process Using Control Vector Parameterization (CVP) and Hybrid Strategy (HS)
Authors: Rohman Fakhrony Sholahudin , Muhammad Dinie , Idris Iylia , Murat Muhamad Nazri , Azmi Ashraf
Published: September 2022

The semi-batch esterification of propionic anhydride (PA) with 2-butanol (BT) in the presence of catalyst can be optimised using an optimal control strategy, which utilises the reactor temperature (TR) and feed (FR) flowrate. However, the opposing objective functions, which are maximum conversion (XM) and minimum process time (tf) in the autocatalytic esterification process, could complicate the optimisation strategy. Simultaneous optimisation of various objectives results in a multi-objective optimal control (MOOC) problem with numerous solutions known as non-dominated (ND) points. In this paper, control vector parameterisation (CVP) and hybrid strategy (HS) are utilised to form Pareto Front (PF) for two opposite targets, which are first to increase XM and secondly to reduce tf. Each ND point comprises variant optimal dynamic tracks of TR and FR, which results in various targets of XM and tf. These solutions provide numerous options for evaluating trade-offs and deciding on the most efficient operating strategy. It is found that the ND point in zone II can be selected as the trade-off of the optimal TR and FR in this study.
Automated Cryptocurrency Trading Bot Implementing DRL
Authors: Peng Aisha , Ang Sau Loong , Lim Chia Yean
Published: September 2022

A year ago, one thousand USD invested in Bitcoin (BTC) alone would have appreciated to three thousand five hundred USD. Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) recent outstanding performance has opened up the possibilities to predict price fluctuations in changing markets and determine effective trading points, making a significant contribution to the finance sector. Several DRL methods have been tested in the trading domain. However, this research proposes implementing the proximal policy optimisation (PPO) algorithm, which has not been integrated into an automated trading system (ATS). Furthermore, behavioural biases in human decision-making often cloud one’s judgement to perform emotionally. ATS may alleviate these problems by identifying and using the best potential strategy for maximising profit over time. Motivated by the factors mentioned, this research aims to develop a stable, accurate, and robust automated trading system that implements a deep neural network and reinforcement learning to predict price movements to maximise investment returns by performing optimal trading points. Experiments and evaluations illustrated that this research model has outperformed the baseline buy and hold method and exceeded models of other similar works.
Chronic social stress during early development is involved in antisocial maltreatment behavior in mice
Authors: Jeon Daejong , Kim Sangwoo , Choi Jiye , Yang Ah Reum , Lee Sang Kun , Chu Kon
Published: September 2022

Purpose Early-life stress can cause brain inflammation and affect social behavior in adulthood. In humans, maltreated (abused or neglected) children often exhibit antisocial behavior, including violent and sadistic behavior, in adulthood. However, it is unknown whether maltreatment behavior occurs in rodents. Here, we developed an assay system to evaluate conspecific maltreatment behavior in the mouse. Methods To assess maltreatment behavior, we devised a two-chamber apparatus separated by a transparent partition, in which one chamber was provided with a nose-poking hole that would trigger foot shocks onto the other. Lidocaine was used to inhibit neural activity in vivo. Brain oscillations were investigated by electroencephalograph. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used for protein assay. The mouse model was sequentially subjected to maternal separation (MS), social defeat (SD), and social isolation (SI) in that order (MS/SD/SI model). Results Inactivation of the anterior cingulate cortex and medial prefrontal cortex increased the level of nose-poking. Maltreatment behavior provoked changes in oxytocin, corticosterone, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels. MS/SD/SI mice exhibited more sustained nose-poking behavior during the experiment, resulting in increased foot shocks to the mouse in the opposite chamber. Abnormal brain oscillations were observed in the MS/SD/SI mice. Conclusion The MS/SD/SI model and maltreatment-behavior assay may be useful not only to study the relationship between social stress in childhood and antisocial behavior in adulthood, but also for study of etiology, pathology, or treatment for brain disorders, such as psychopathy.

Eficiência do gasto público com educação no estado do Paraná: uma análise com modelos econométricos espaciais
Authors: Pozza Daniel , Castro Gustavo Henrique Leite , Porsse Alexandre Alves
Published: September 2022

O objetivo deste estudo é identificar a eficiência dos gastos públicos com educação básica nos municípios do Estado do Paraná e analisar como os condicionantes socioeconômicos estão relacionados com os scores de eficiência. Para isso, a estratégia empírica foi baseada em duas etapas: i) utilizou-se do método da Análise Envoltória de Dados (DEA) para medir a eficiência e; ii) realizou-se uma análise econométrica espacial com o índice de eficiência estimado na primeira etapa como variável dependente e um conjunto de indicadores socioeconômicos como covariáveis. As duas etapas foram implementadas com dados referente ao ano de 2017. Os principais resultados apontam os municípios com as maiores notas do Índice de Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica (IDEB) não são necessariamente os que possuem os maiores scores de eficiência do gasto público com educação. Os resultados das regressões apontaram uma relação negativa entre a proporção do Fundo de Manutenção e Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica (FUNDEB) na receita corrente e eficiência, evidenciando uma potencial distorção alocativa dos recursos públicos aplicados na educação básica.

Levels of Essential Elements in Selected Persea Americana Varieties as Potential Minerals
Authors: J.G.N. Kithure , I. J. Nyandieka
Published: September 2022

Persea americana is a Scientific Name for Avocados. They are a good source of micronutrients like iron, zinc, magnesium, manganese, and copper because of their high concentration of these vital trace elements. These are essential to the human body because they boost the immune system and carry out processes including respiration, cell synthesis, and transcription. This study aimed at assessing the levels of essential trace elements, which include; zinc, iron, magnesium, manganese, and copper in the selected two avocado varieties, (Hass and Fuerte). The metal elements were examined using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). In Hass avocados, magnesium concentrations were found to be 0.1197 ±0.0107 mg/g, manganese 0.0077±0.0017 mg/g, iron 0.0368±0.0044 mg/g, zinc 0.0209±0.0029 mg/g), and copper 0.0019±0.0001 mg/g. The magnesium level was 0.1434±0.0069 mg/g, manganese 0.0058±0.0006 mg/g, iron 0.0252±0.0041 mg/g, zinc 0.02102±0.0013 mg/g, and copper level was 0.0017 0.0005 mg/g in the Fuerte avocado variety. According to these findings, the avocado varieties did not have significantly different quantities of critical elements. The avocado fruit varieties studied were able to meet the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) requirements for manganese and copper minerals and half the RDA for zinc and iron. From the study, it was shown that a fresh piece of avocado of mass 200 g can provide more than half the RDA for manganese, zinc, iron, and copper essential elements. We recommend avocado inclusion in the diet as it provides essential trace elements for the human body hence reducing the rise of non-communicable diseases.

Desarrollo y adaptación de MAIA ® para la gestión inteligente del cáncer mediante arquitectura biodigital
Authors: Pino Villareal Luis Eduardo , Mejía Jorge , Large Eduardo , Large Juan , Triana Avellaneda Iván Camilo
Published: September 2022

Introducción: los modelos de salud son diversos, pero los dos grandes tipos se enfocan en la gestión del riesgo de enfermar (riesgo primario) o en la prestación de servicios enfocados en el enfermo (riesgo técnico). En cáncer, los modelos aún están lejos de ser innovadores y disruptivos y aunque las cifras han mejorado, aún están muy lejos de ser las deseadas. En el marco de la revolución industrial (4.0) la era del “internet del valor” el gobierno nacional le apuesta a una historia clínica electrónica nacional unificada e interoperable y la cuenta de alto costo se encuentra en plan de transición a un sistema de analítica avanzada; sin embargo, estas son soluciones pensadas en necesidades puntuales del sector sin generar soluciones integrativas. El desarrollo que se presenta en este trabajo aporta como un conector digital inteligente, construido desde la medicina y para la medicina. Este desarrollo busca un nuevo modelo de salud apalancado en tecnologías 4.0 como plataforma integrativa específicamente en cáncer, pero que puede ser aplicable a todos los ámbitos de los servicios de salud. El presente desarrollo está construido para dos escenarios clínicos: mieloma múltiple y trasplante hepático, pero su proceso, arquitectura y diseño, es expandible a cualquier universo de gestión de enfermedad. Objetivo: diseñar y adaptar la plataforma digital MAIA ® al seguimiento inteligente de pacientes con cáncer mediante el proceso de arquitectura biodigital.

Antecedentes: Se estima que en Colombia se realizan anualmente 43.390 cirugías de aumento mamario (86.780 implantes) y 1.486 reconstrucciones con implantes mamarios, lo que representa el segundo destino de cirugía mamaria en América del Sur, el cuarto en el hemisferio occidental y el quinto país a nivel mundial. Ningún informe previo ha evaluado la incidencia de la epidemiología o los resultados del linfoma anaplásico de células grandes asociado a implantes mamarios (BIA-ALCL) en una población hispana. Se desconocen los datos publicados sobre la incidencia de esta enfermedad en Colombia; por lo tanto, se desarrolló un Comité Multidisciplinario Conjunto Nacional entre las sociedades científicas colombianas de Mastología, Cirugía Plástica, Hemato-Oncología y el Invima (Instituto Nacional de Vigilancia de Medicamentos y Alimentos) para rastrear los casos nacionales de BIA-ALCL. Materiales y métodos: Realizamos una revisión retrospectiva (estudio basado en encuestas) de casos históricos desde 2011 a 2019, y una recopilación prospectiva de todos los pacientes con diagnóstico confirmado de BIA-ALCL según la Organización Mundial de la Salud identificados en un Registro Nacional de BIA-ALCL recientemente establecido. El ensayo fue aprobado por el Comité de Revisión Institucional (IRB).
Application of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program to patients with borderline personality disorder and chronic pain: A pilot study
Authors: Verdú María Luisa , Quiles Yolanda
Published: September 2022

Chronic pain has a high comorbidity with borderline personality disorder. The aim of this study was to apply and evaluate the effectiveness of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program in a group of patients with both diagnoses. Twenty-four patients participated, with a mean age of 41.83 years (SD= 10.35), and a majority women (91.7%). The program consisted of eight sessions in which training in mindfulness is central, and was developed through formal practices (yoga, sitting meditation) or informal practices (mindfulness in activities of daily life) in which attitudes as acceptance and openness were promoted. In addition to the post-intervention evaluation, a 9-month follow-up was performed. The results showed improvements in the intensity and interference of pain, anxiety, some coping strategies (cognitive reappraisal, distraction, and mental self-control), mindfulness and quality of life. These results suggest the efficacy of the MBSR program in these patients.

Published: September 2022

The aims of this research were to analyze the presence of cyberviolence in young couples, to explore the associations between cyberviolence, emotional dependence, empathy, and filioparental relationships, and to identify predictors of cyberviolence. For this purpose, a convenience sample consisting of 469 university students was selected. They completed the following measures: The Adolescent Social Network Partner Violence Scale, the Parental Bonding Instrument, the Dating Emotional Dependence in Youth and Adolescents, and the Basic Empathy Scale. 51.9% of the sample admitted to having suffered cyber-violence, and 56.6% admitted to having perpetrated it. Boys scored higher than girls on cyberviolence and cybervictimization. It was found that the higher the level of education, the lower level of cyberviolence and the higher the number of partners, the greater the possibility of suffering cyberviolence. The scarce empirical evidence about the factors related to cyberviolence points to the need of further research on individual and family variables.

Authors: Palacios Jorge , Flores-Ibarlucea Pilar , Cañas José Luis
Published: September 2022

El propósito de la presente investigación es analizar el descuento temporal sexual en la conducta sexual de riesgo entre hombres y mujeres jóvenes. Se administró la tarea de descuento temporal sexual del uso de condón con tres supuestos hipotéticos, así como un cuestionario para identificar su comportamiento sexual de riesgo a 360 jóvenes, hombres y mujeres entre 16 y 33 años de edad de México. Los resultados obtenidos indican adecuadas propiedades psicométricas en a tarea de descuento sexual. Los hombres tienen una menor demora en horas, días y meses para tener actividad sexual sin el uso de condón en comparación con las mujeres. Para los hombres parece que el descuento sexual es indiferente en su conducta sexual de riesgo. Las mujeres mostraron diferencias en el uso del condón y en el número de parejas sexuales, en dos de los tres tiempos de demora. Se espera contribuir en la comprensión del descuento sexual para el desarrollo de intervenciones que promuevan un incremento del uso consistente del condón en jóvenes.

Published: September 2022

El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar la relación entre el apego y la satisfacción con la relación de pareja, considerando el papel mediador de las competencias emocionales, y controlando la influencia del género, la edad y la duración de la relación. En el estudio participaron 265 jóvenes españoles (59,2% mujeres) de entre 18 y 36 años con pareja. Los resultados más relevantes indican que el estilo evitativo alejado presenta una menor satisfacción en la relación. Junto con el estilo temeroso son los que tienen las habilidades emocionales más pobres. La ansiedad y la evitación del apego se relacionan negativamente con la satisfacción en la relación, siendo mediadas por la regulación emocional. Se discute la importancia de desarrollar programas de educación emocional en los jóvenes como forma de mitigar el efecto de un estilo de apego inseguro.

The Spanish version of the TMMS-24 scale was used. A descriptive analysis of the items was made. The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed with the unweighted least squares estimation method with promin oblique rotation, and the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed through the modeling of structural equations. Internal consistency was estimated with the ordinal a coefficient. The EFA yielded a three-factor structure and the correlations between factors were high (between .530 to .689). With the CFA, adequate goodness-of-fit indices are observed (χ2= 385.868, TLI= .963, CFI= .967, RMSEA= 0.034, SRMR= .041). The α-ordinal coefficient shows adequate internal consistency (α= .93). The TMMS-24 presents good psychometric properties for measuring emotional intelligence in Peruvian students.

Los trastornos mentales son una de las condiciones más estigmatizadas en nuestra sociedad, lo que supone un obstáculo para la recuperación de estas personas. Sin embargo, las actitudes estigmatizantes pueden cambiar, y la educación y la experiencia personal con personas que tienen un trastorno mental pueden reducir las actitudes estigmatizantes. El presente estudio evaluó el estigma de 111 estudiantes de educación social hacia las personas con trastornos mentales y los conocimientos sobre los trastornos mentales antes y después de una intervención educativa que incluía estudios de casos activos y metodologías de aprendizaje basado en problemas. Se utilizaron autoinformes para medir las actitudes hacia el trastorno mental y conocimientos sobre salud mental. Las actitudes negativas hacia los trastornos mentales se redujeron y los conocimientos aumentaron tras la intervención (p< 0,05). Estos resultados demuestran la eficacia de este tipo de intervenciones educativas activas en la reducción del estigma hacia las personas con trastornos mentales. Sin embargo, es importante seguir realizando estudios de este tipo para aumentar las pruebas científicas.

Published: September 2022

El propósito de este estudio fue validar la escala GEOPTE de cognición social para su uso en pacientes con diagnóstico de esquizofrenia en países Latinoamericanos. Participaron 253 pacientes con un diagnóstico de esquizofrenia y 253 cuidadores principales provenientes de los servicios públicos de salud mental de Bolivia, Chile y Perú. Las propiedades psicométricas de la escala GEOPTE fueron obtenidas mediante análisis factoriales confirmatorios (CFA), CFA-multigrupo, coeficientes de fiabilidad y correlación de Pearson. El CFA mostró la adecuación entre la estructura factorial teórica original con la establecida en este estudio de validación. La escala evidenció satisfactorios indicadores de fiabilidad, presentó asociaciones significativas con la “Escala de los síndromes positivo y negativo” (PANSS) y sólo mostró invarianza débil según el sexo. La escala GEOPTE posee pruebas de validez y fiabilidad suficiente para su uso en pacientes con diagnóstico de esquizofrenia en países latinoamericanos.
Atezolizumab (Tecentriq)
Authors: CADTH
Published: September 2022

CADTH recommends that Tecentriq be reimbursed by public drug plans after surgery and chemotherapy for the treatment of patients with stage II to stage IIIA non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumour is positive for programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) in at least 50% of tumour cells and does not have an abnormal EGFR or ALK gene if certain conditions are met.

Tecentriq should only be covered to treat adult patients (18 years or older) with stage II to stage IIIA NSCLC whose tumour is positive for PD-L1 in at least 50% of tumour cells and does not have an abnormal EGFR or ALK

Tecentriq should only be used alone after surgery and chemotherapy. Tecentriq should only be reimbursed if it prescribed by a specialist and if the patient is in relatively good health (i.e., has a good performance status, as determined by a specialist). Tecentriq should not be reimbursed if the patient is not a candidate for surgery or chemotherapy. The cost of Tecentriq must be lowered to be cost-effective and affordable.
Atezolizumab (Tecentriq)
Authors: CADTH
Published: September 2022

CADTH recommends that Tecentriq, in combination with a platinum-based chemotherapy and etoposide, should be reimbursed by public drug plans for the treatment of extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) if certain conditions are met.

Tecentriq should only be covered to treat adult patients who have not received previous treatment for ES-SCLC and who are in relatively good health.

Tecentriq should only be reimbursed when used in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy and etoposide if it is prescribed and patients are monitored by clinicians with expertise in managing ES-SCLC, and if the price of Tecentriq leads to cost savings for the public drug plans.
Bayesian calibration of a flood simulator using binary flood extent observations
Authors: Balbi Mariano , Lallemant David Charles Bonaventure
Published: September 2022

Abstract. Computational simulators of complex physical processes, such as inundations, require a robust characterization of the uncertainties involved to be useful for flood hazard and risk analysis. While flood extent data, as obtained from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery, has become widely available, no methodologies have been implemented that can robustly assimilate this information source into fully probabilistic estimations of the model parameters, model structural deficiencies, and model predictions. This paper proposes a fully Bayesian framework to calibrate a 2D physics-based inundation model using a single observation of flood extent, explicitly including uncertainty in the floodplain and channel roughness parameters, simulator structural deficiencies, and observation errors. The proposed approach is compared to the current state-of-practice Generalized Likelihood Uncertainty Estimation (GLUE) framework for calibration and with a simpler Bayesian model. We found that discrepancies between the computational simulator output and the flood extent observation are spatially correlated, and calibration models that do not account for this, such as GLUE, might consistently mispredict flooding over large regions. The added structural deficiency term succeeds in capturing and correcting for this spatial behavior, improving the rate of correctly predicted pixels. We also found that binary data does not have information relative to the magnitude of the observed process (e.g. flood depths), raising issues in the identifiability of the roughness parameters, and the additive terms of structural deficiency and observation errors. The proposed methodology, while computationally challenging, is proven to perform better than existing techniques. It also has the potential to consistently combine observed flood extent data with other data such as sensor information and crowd-sourced data, something which is not currently possible using GLUE calibration framework.
Connection between geographical environment and teenagers well being by the example of Raudondvaris eldershp

Published: September 2022

Lithuanian teenagers are considered to be the most unhappy in the Europien Union. Also when comparing with other countries in Europien Union, suicide rates of children and teenagers are one of the highest in Lithuania. The main goal of this article is contribute to psychology geography and to research one of the most vulnerable social groups in Lithuania. One of the factors that influence the emotional well being of teenagers is their geographical environment. This article reviews the research of children and teens well being in the world and in Lithuania, the definition of psychology geography is also analysed. First part of the article describes the geographical environment in Raudondvaris eldership, the main focus is on nature and social elements, which contribute to ones emotional well being. It is important to note that two types of environmental elements are described: material (nature, infrastructure and other) and nonmaterial (communities, activities in elderships organisations and other). Second part of the article describes the connection between the teenagers well being and their environment. This analyses is done by conducting a survey. Most respondents (89%) think highly of their geographical environment. Positive evaluation is seen in the center of the eldership and in the smaller villages. Emotional well being indicator was taken from the recommendations of the World Health Organisation. Most teenagers living in Raudondvaris eldeship had scored high in this indicator (only one forth scored low). These results are influeced by good naturalistic environment and semi active social lives, good connection with bigger cities near by, where teenagers can engage in services and free time activities. This research has revealed, that teenagers living further away from the elderships centre feel much better then those living in Raudondvaris village. This can be explained, that most of the elderships territory is a suburb of Kaunas city. In this case distance from the city centre does not impact emotional well being of teenagers in Raudondvaris eldership. Well developed infrustructure and Kaunas city allows teenagers to take adventage of services that Kaunas city has to offer.

Keywords: well being, geographical environment, Raudondvaris eldership, psychology geography.
The updating of content of geographical education at the basic school: methodological approaches and paradigmatic turns
Authors: Gerulaitis Šarūnas , Kairaitis Zigmas
Published: September 2022

The article reviews the current updating of the basic school curricula in Lithuania, as well as the updating of the content of geographical education. The basic curricula for basic schools were updated last time in 2008. The updating of the content of geographical education is based on the OECD guidelines and guidelines for updating the Framework Programmes (2019) and amendments thereof (2021). The content of geographical education is also updated in accordance with the provisions of the International Charter on Geographical Education (2016). Based on the main categories of geography – location, space, scale – a model of the concepts of the geographical learning structure has been developed, which best corresponds to the content of Lithuanian school geographical education and cognitive perspectives of learning. The study compared and linked the paradigms of education, geography, and geographical didactics. These paradigms are shown to be closely linked with one another and determines the changes in the content of today’s geographical education.

Keywords: general curriculum, content of geographical education, education paradigm, geographical paradigm, paradigm of geographical didactics.
La himnodia popular y el catolicismo vivido en Hungría en los años 70-80 15 junio
Authors: Povedák Kinga
Published: September 2022

En este artículo, analizo cómo las prácticas litúrgicas y devocionales cambiaron en Hungría tras del Concilio Vaticano II. En un contexto autoritario y ateo, las canciones religiosas se vincularon con el emergente "movimiento popular de masas". El análisis de la himnodia popular húngara ofrece a una nueva perspectiva del catolicismo de Europa del Este y nos ayuda a comprender cómo el “catolicismo vivido” refleja el espíritu del Vaticano II. Esta himnodia tras el Telón el Acero, que actuó como catalizadora de un nuevo estilo de prácticas devocionales, se conceptualiza como “teología representada” que expresa y. actualiza relaciones sociales, espirituales, eclesiásticas y escatológicas.
Las verdades fotográficas de la policía secreta soviética 22 junio
Authors: Vagramenko Tatiana
Published: September 2022

Este artículo examina la historia de las prácticas y la experimentación fotográfica de la policía secreta soviética, argumentando que la rica gama de metodologías visuales de la agencia contribuyó a crear una imagen duradera del "enemigo del pueblo" en el imaginario socialista soviético. La investigación integra en la historiografía documentos de archivo, fotografías, gráficos y fotocollages hasta ahora desconocidos, pertenecientes a causas penales contra los supuestos seguidores de la Iglesia Oortodoxa Verdadera de las Catacumbas. El análisis de este material visual revela los mecanismos internos de producción de conocimiento, cuando la fotografía de la policía secreta servía como una especie de "mapa ideológico" y cuando era objeto de manipulación, cuyo objetivo era exponer al enemigo y probar el delito.
Minorías religiosas y política estatal en la Yugoslavia comunista: Hacia metodologías alternativas de investigación 27 junio
Authors: Djurić Milovanović Aleksandra
Published: September 2022

En este artículo, se presenta por primera vez una investigación académica sobre las minorías religiosas en la antigua Yugoslavia basada en los archivos de la policía secreta. Al contrario que en otros países de Europa del Este, el acceso a los archivos de la policía secreta en la antigua Yugoslavia sigue siendo muy limitado. Basándome investigación etnográfica y de archivo realizada en Serbia, argumento que las minorías religiosas constituyen un gran objeto de estudio para analizar las relaciones entre el estado y los grupos religiosos durante el período comunista. Este es especialmente el caso de los nazarenos pacifistas y los adventistas del séptimo día, debido a su trabajo misionero y sus redes internacionales y transnacionales. Este artículo propone el uso de archivos privados para contrarrestar el limitado acceso a archivos estatales.
