Diferencia, autodefinición y empoderamiento: una lectura necesaria de Sister outsider de Audre Lorde
Authors: Cucinotta María Lucía
Published: November 2021

En este artículo breve me propongo describir y analizar las formas de resistencia al sexismo y la homofobia que postula Audre Lorde en algunos en los ensayos y conferencias reunidos en Sister Outsider (1984). Asimismo, pretendo demostrar que dichos textos pueden entenderse como intervenciones políticas sistemáticas que tienen como objetivo principal construir espacios de expresión donde confluyan las voces de actores sociales históricamente relegados. En el marco de su trabajo en prosa, Lorde abordó y exploró temáticas tales como el orgullo, el amor, la violencia, el temor racial, la opresión sexual, los modos de vida urbanos y las diversas formas de supervivencia en la gran ciudad. Según la base teórica de los estudios de género y con el foco puesto específicamente en las producciones teóricas del feminismo afroestadounidense, pretendo demostrar la importancia del aporte de Lorde a la construcción del concepto de interseccionalidad, así como también a la visibilización de múltiples situaciones de violencia sucedidas al interior de la comunidad negra.
“Spotteando” palabras: la transferencia spotter en la observación y fotografía de aeronaves y el automovilismo
Authors: De-Matteis Lorena M. A.
Published: November 2021

En el marco de estudios léxicos que buscan iluminar aspectos de las representaciones sociales sobre el transporte aéreo, este trabajo pretende contribuir al conocimiento del léxico de origen foráneo empleado por hablantes de español. Propone una aproximación al uso de la transferencia léxica de origen inglés spotter en relación con dos actividades: la observación y registro fotográfico de aeronaves y el automovilismo deportivo. A partir del análisis de su empleo y en textos periodísticos y producciones de hablantes de español en la red social Twitter, se concluye que spotter es una voz que no se encuentra extendida en el uso general de la lengua pero que sí permite la identificación de grupo de quienes practican estas actividades.
Dudar a dúo. Propuestas teórico-metodológicas para un abordaje del dúo Joaquín Sabina & Benjamín Prado
Authors: Ruiz María Julia
Published: November 2021

La escritura colaborativa en literatura y, más específicamente, los dúos de escritores, no suelen ser temas de interés científico. Considerados como un ejercicio de estilo, un juego literario o un género menor, la crítica no se ha encargado de indagar en este modo particular de creación poética, aquella que rompe los paradigmas de la genialidad autorial y la supremacía del yo en busca de pluralidad. Nos acercaremos a esta zona de vacancia para sentar las bases teórico-metodológicas que indagarán de qué manera Benjamín Prado y Joaquín Sabina se permiten “dudar a dúo” y operar como una instancia productora de imágenes y posturas de un personaje de autor (en) singular.
Representaciones del mundo rural en la obra Pablo o la vida en las pampas de Eduarda Mansilla. Visiones de una intérprete cultural
Authors: Rojo Guiñazú Milagros
Published: November 2021

Durante el siglo XIX fueron muchas las escritoras que encontraron sus espacios de circulación y ciertos reconocimientos; no obstante, no todas ellas han tenido un plano de igualdad en la historia de la literatura argentina, principalmente cuando se definió el mapa literario en el siglo XX. En este ensayo queremos comentar el caso de Eduarda Mansilla, puntualmente el de su obra Pablo o la vida en las pampas, obra que configura una representación del mundo rural en un período de la historia argentina en donde la figura del gaucho comienza a pensarse en el centro de los tópicos de varios escritores. En su novela Mansilla nos conduce a revisar, no solamente los tópicos propuestos por Sarmiento en Facundo, sino a repensar los pares dicotómicos que han definido la primera parte del siglo, la topografía de la barbarie y a conocer el mundo íntimo de un grupo social vulnerado. Desde su lugar de intérprete cultural muestra la Argentina del siglo XIX, en francés, con una exquisitez sinigual, y luego en español, con traducciones e intervenciones en su obra.

Correlational Study of Culturally-Based Instructional Strategy and Cognitive Competencies on Problem Solving, Speaking and Listening: An Evidence in Oyo State Nigeria
Authors: Majebi Oluyemisi , Oduolowu Esther
Published: November 2021

The study examined the impact of culturally based Instructional strategy (indigenous songs, rhymes, games, stories, language of the immediate environment and instructional materials) on pre-primary school children’s cognitive competence with special attention to problem-solving, speaking and listening skills. Socio-cultural theory provided the framework, while pretest-posttest control group quasi-experimental design was adopted. 74 children (44 males and 30 females) with a mean age of 5.61 from four pre-primary schools (two public and private schools) were purposively selected from two local government areas, and randomised into CIBS and conventional groups respectively. Children’s Cognitive Competence Rating Scale (r = 0.89) and CBIS Instructional Guide were used to collect the study data. Paired sample t-test and Analysis of covariance(ANCOVA) were used to analyse the data. There was a significant main effect of treatment on children’s cognitive competence (F(1,65) = 10.31; partial ?2 = 0.14). CIBS was found to be potent in enhancing pre-primary school children’s cognitive competence, especially in problem-solving, speaking, and listening skills. Teaching and learning activities at the pre-primary school level should employ a culturally-based instructional strategy.

Wirtschaftswandel als Kulturwandel? Die Gemeinwohl-Ökonomie als möglicher Wegbereiter für eine Kultur wechselseitiger Verbundenheit
Authors: Kühn Cornelia
Published: November 2021

The article analyzes the development of new post-capitalist practices with their possible effects on the transformation of self-images and self-conceptions using the example of the economy for the common good. To this end, the connection between the current subject order, the present social crises and the complex entanglement of the prevailing mode of production and life is explained. A socio-ecological transformation would therefore also have to be linked to the emergence of an alternative subject culture which is oriented towards cooperation and community. The Association of Common Good Economy (Verein der Gemeinwohl-Oekonomie) and common good-oriented companies are used in this research as a space to observe social-cultural practices and new forms and conventions of cooperation in their acceptance and dissemination. On the one hand, it shows that these companies, with their values based on cooperation, social and global justice and ecological responsibility, and with their participatory organizational structures, offer opportunities for countercultural practices and make utopias tangible, so that social change and self-change are being made possible on a small scale. On the other hand, by means of detailed examples the inconsistencies of social-cultural practices and the hybrid mixture of subject forms become clear and comprehensible in their specific context.
Body mass index (BMI) of vegetarian and non-vegetarian children in Nepal
Authors: Acharya Usha , Nakanishi Jun
Published: November 2021

This article builds upon a study that aimed to evaluate the BMI differences among vegetarian and non-vegetarian children of Nepal and to recommend the diet practice of growing-age children. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted to determine physical growth and calculate the BMI values of 1251 Koiri and Yadav children aged 6-14 years who were selected for the study. Data were analyzed based on age, sex, vegetarian and non-vegetarian children. The average BMI value wt (kg)/ht (m2) of non-vegetarian children was significantly higher than the vegetarian in both sex groups. The finding of the study clearly shows that vegetarian diet practice in children is smaller than the non-vegetarian. The study recommends that vegetarian group children required more plant source protein food for favorable growth and balanced physical growth, good health status to maintain different physical and mental disabilities, and enhance school performances. Protein requirements on vegetarian children may be fulfilled if the diet includes different varieties of plant-based protein sources in their regular meals. Therefore, the study recommends that vegetarian families regularly include protein-rich foods for the growing-age children, such as legumes, beans, different seeds and nuts, and a variety of protein sources.

Authors: Onder Halil , Celik Gokcen
Published: November 2021

Focal paresis secondary to Herpes zoster (HZ) is a rare neurological complication and should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of acute weakness with corresponding dermatomal rashes. In this case report, we illustrate an 84-year-old male patient, who presented with focal upper extremity weakness following HZ on right C4-8 dermatome. After clinical and electrophysiological evaluations, segmental zoster paresis was diagnosed. Although antiviral medication(oral brivudine) had been administered previously, oral valacyclovir and low dosage methylprednisolone were initiated. In the following 2 months interval, a progressive and dramatic recovery in extremity weakness and neuropathic pain were achieved. The clinical course of this patient may give substantial perspectives regarding the clinical evaluation of similar cases.
Arseny Tarkosvky’s small cycles: The artistic history and principles of text preparation
Authors: Bak D. P.
Published: November 2021

The article analyses the publication problem of A. Tarkovsky’s so-called ‘small cycles’ — poems sharing a common storyline and theme, which were not, however, published as poetic cycles in Tarkovsky’s lifetime, even though he had planned them as such and leﬅ respective handwritten collections. According to the critic, Tarkovsky created these poetic compilations irrespective of the actual possibility (or impossibility) of their publication. His entire experience of ‘living in literature,’ long years of failed attempts to publish abook of original poetry, the type of forbidding censorship policy prevailing at the time — everything indicated that one should better give up attempts toget published in the heavily supervised literary sector. Bak concludes that a publisher of Tarkovsky’s works should focus on reconstruction of the corpus that was not meant for censors, as the two compilations of his lyric oeuvre— the one prepared for publication and the other preserved in manuscripts only— exist in a sort of ‘alternative complementation,’ as if in parallel to each other, and should both be considered for preparation of scholarly publications.
Sergey Khoruzhy, or the motif of the problematic character of death
Authors: Dimitrov E.
Published: November 2021

The article is devoted to the memory of an outstanding scholar — physicist, philosopher, theologian and translator — S. Khoruzhy (1941–2020), with whom the author maintained active communication for three decades. This communication included various human and scholarly encounters: meetings in person, correspondence, participation in projects and conferences, book presentations, and shared accommodations in Soﬁa and Moscow. The article reveals a number of hitherto unknown facts of the scholar’s biography. Also published are his thoughts on topics he found most relevant, based on an interview in Soﬁa in June 1997, transcribed by the author. Khoruzhy’s philosophical studies ran in parallel with his major subject (theoretical physics), but it was not until 1989 that his theological and philosophical works reached a wider audience. The article emphasises Khoruzhy’s versatile giﬅ: an original philosopher, author of the concept of synergetic anthropology and successor of the traditions of Russian religious philosophy, he is also atranslator of Ulysses, a scholar of J. Joyce, and a prominent ﬁgure of 20th- and 21st-c. Russian culture.
The Last Day of creation. M. Naimy’s mystical manifesto
Authors: Nofal F. O.
Published: November 2021

The article is devoted to the mystical manifesto The Last Day (1963) of the Lebanese novelist, playwright and journalist Mikhail Naimy (1889–1988). The author suggests that Naimy, under the spell of classical Russian literature, attempted an audacious experiment: by successfully combining the totality of concepts of Dostoevsky’s The Dream of a Ridiculous Man [ Son smeshnogo cheloveka] with the traditional mythologemes of Suﬁ poetry, this graduate of the Poltava theological seminary overcomes mystical imagery, and in doing so postulates human impotence in the face of the Nietzschean ‘eternal recurrence’ and the ineﬀable nature of true the ophanies. The article demonstrates the innovative character of The Last Day, a novel that stands apart from the works of other Pen League members: while Gibran’s The Prophet seeks to infantilise a religious myth, Naimy’s objective is to bring mythology back into the 20th-c. Middle Eastern literary discourse and reimagine it using the categories of contemporary existential philosophy. The study opens with a short biography, covering Naimy’s Russian and American periods.
V. M. Essipov. A. S. Pushkin’s correspondence with A. K. Benckendorﬀ
Authors: Zubareva V. K.
Published: November 2021

V. Essipov’s monograph is alandmark product of Pushkin studies. It follows the relationship between Pushkin and Benckendorﬀ over a ten-year period (1826– 1836). Benckendorﬀ’s character is shown in an entirely new light. Unlike the one-sided depiction promoted by Soviet literary criticism, the author creates a controversial portrait, greatly aided by substantial details found in documents. Essipov treats this historical ﬁgure not only as a functionary, but also a human being. He demonstrates that Benckendorﬀ was not nearly as narrow-minded and primitive as his traditional image in literature. The reviewer ﬁnds that the book will be of interest not only to Pushkin scholars, but also historians and anyone who would like to learn about the unconventional approach to Pushkin’s relationship with Benckendorﬀ. The monograph can also be useful for playwrights and directors who are fascinated with that particular period in Russian history and literature.

Published: November 2021

The article is devoted to the solution of a topical issue- improving the efficiency of road transportation process on the basis of improving the methods of vehicles selecting for the transportation of certain agricultural cargo under the given operating conditions. It has been proved that significant number of parameters influenced on the efficiency of road transportation in agricultural production. In addition to the generally accepted factors (maintenance costs and fuels and lubricants), transportation conditions, type of cargo, type of unloading and loading operations have a significant impact in agricultural production conditions. It is proved that variety of agricultural cargo within one farm encourages enterprises to form a universal automobile park. As a result of the analysis of purchases of vehicles by agricultural enterprises, it has been determined that there are no stable approaches of enterprises to forming the automobile park, which confirms the thesis of the influence as big number of factors on the choice of vehicles for transportation in agricultural production conditions. The approaches to the definition of the reserves for increasing the efficiency of the available automobile park and to the formation of the optimal structure for certain operational conditions have been considered. The objective need for proper grounding of the choice of vehicle for the conditions of agricultural production, due to the need to take into account a large number of parameters that characterize both the vehicle and the cargo and transportation conditions. In this context, the authors have proposed for practical use an algorithm for selecting a vehicle to perform specific transport work on the transportation of agricultural products, which takes into account the set of vehicles characteristics, cargo type and transport conditions. Attention has been drawn on the need for a systematic approach to the selection of transport vehicles estimation criteria in agricultural production. Taking into account the size of the bulk density, the availability of loading and unloading facilities, the peculiarities of transportation conditions, the amount of average expenses per unit of transport allows to comprehensively assess a single vehicle, optimize the choice of vehicle transportation of concrete agricultural cargo, minimize financial losses, thus, to increase the efficiency of the transportation process in agricultural production. Consideration of the optimal list of vehicle parameters provided by the presented algorithm will increase the efficiency of the transport process in agricultural production, both by reducing operating costs and by saving cargo and time. The clear structure of the proposed algorithm, with justification of each of its steps and, the purpose of each step, certainty and discreteness makes it easy to solve with available software.
Influence of absorptive capability on organizational performance of tier two commercial banks in Kenya
Authors: Mweu Wambua Benjamin , Mung’ara Maria
Published: November 2021

Firms that clearly understand their mandate are more easily able to understand their customers and hence are in a better position to create products that correctly fit in with the market needs and withstand competition. Most firms in the same industry operate under similar environments, however, the ability of a firm to understand its surroundings and take up the opportunities around it and at the same time minimize its threats within certain acceptable time limits, brings out to a large extent the difference between performance of one firm and the other in a similar industry.  This study was anchored on the competitive theory as advanced by Michael Porter. A descriptive approach was used by explaining the data and characteristics of the population being studied.  The study targeted a total of 64 respondents. This study did not sample the tier two commercial banks because they are few and hence a census was adopted. A pilot test on 8 employees was consequently carried out before this study. The respondents agreed that tier two banks strive to be competitive in the market and employees are encouraged to implement new ideas. The study concluded that absorptive capability has a significant contribution to performance of tier two banks. The study also recommended that banks should enhance customer retention to build their customer base.

Published: November 2021

The 21st century emphasizes the role of technology in different facets of life, especially in the educational system, as it serves as a platform for teachers and students in the delivery of effective teaching and learning process. In this perspective, descriptive-correlational research determines the level of technology exposure and its relationship to the study and academic performance in Social Studies subject of the one hundred seventy-four (174) students who were randomly chosen from a total population of six hundred eighty-eight (688) during the School Year 2018-2019 in the three selected public secondary schools in the district of Tapaz West, Schools Division of Capiz, Philippines. The data were gathered using a standardized survey questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics: mean, percentage, frequency count, and standard deviation. For the inferential statistics: t-test, analysis of variance, and Pearson r correlation at 0.05 level of significance through the aid of the SPSS software version 27. The study's significant findings revealed that exposure to technology significantly relates to students' study habits. At the same time, it does not significantly relate to their academic performance in Social Studies subjects. The findings suggest that school administrators, parents, teachers, and other stakeholders should ensure that students are properly guided to the right technology platforms to support learning and improve their study habits towards excellent academic achievement.
A Study of High School Students’ English Learning Enjoyment (ELE) in China
Authors: Zhi Yibo , Liu Honggang
Published: November 2021

English Learning Enjoyment (ELE) potentially sustains students’ motivation of English learning, especially under China’s fresh context where National English Curriculum Standards for Senior High Schools issued in 2017 has directed teachers to cultivate students’ core competencies of English as a subject. Its theoretical framework was established by Dewaele and MacIntyre (2014) on Foreign Language Enjoyment (FLE) and then subcategorized by Li Chengchen et al. (2018) into ELE-Private, ELE-Teacher, and ELE-Atmosphere. The three dimensions have thus made it possible for the following quantitative research, where an enormous space remains on senior high school students in China, despite exhaustive studies beforehand with either overseas background or distinctive educational contexts. This quantitative study will concentrate on the general levels of ELE, both overall and for each dimension. Thus with Li Chengchen et al.’s (2018) ELE Scale came the investigations of 351 senior high school students of all grades with diverse academic levels, whose data were analyzed through SPSS in terms of general levels (both mean values and standard differentiations). The results have looked at an intermediate and converging level of Overall ELE with a more prominent level of ELE-Teacher than ELE-Private and ELE-Atmosphere. Inspired by the results comes a disclosure of students’ positivity in English learning under the guise of their inclination to teachers’ efforts instead of automatic drive or constructive environment for authentic language development. Thus an integrated approach is recommended by dint of an elaborate picture of ELE-Private and ELE-Atmosphere to reclaim the lost authentic “self” of senior high school students.

Bahkan pelaksanaan khubtah Jumat secara prosedural ada yang didukung oleh Lembaga Dakwah, Pengurus Masjid dan Instansi Pemerintah. Dukungan tersebut antara lain berbentuk pengaturan jadwal khatib dan kontrol terhadap tema atau topik kutbah Jumat. Pengaturan khotbah Jumat kadang terkendala karena kurangnya tenaga khatib untuk naib, dan minimnya peran Lembaga Dakwah, dan instansi terkait dalam proses pembinaan khatib, yang kemudian berpengaruh terhadap bentuk penyampaian khotbah Jumat yang mayoritas dilakukan tanpa membaca teks. Penelitian ini menemukan adanya pesan-pesan toleransi dalam dua khutbah dari tujuh khutbah yang menjadi sasaran kajian. Pesan-pesan tersebut adalah pesan kemaslahatan umat, persatuan umat, pentignya memberi rasa aman kepada sesama, dan pentingnya menjaga hubungan baik dengan sesama manusia.
