Noucentisme i cinema còmic
Authors: Iribarren Teresa
Published: August 2023

Summary: According to the studies of the history of Catalan literature, the publishing of L’abrandament, by Carles Soldevila, in 1918 represents a turning point in the literary context of the Noucentisme: it is the beginning of a new novel resumption. The work by Soldevila is preceded by the famous prologue signed by the poet Josep Carner, a piece in which he urges Catalan writers to cultivate the genre that had previously been banned by the noucentista establishment: the novel. Our goal is to make an exegesis of the nouvelle from the film scope, as a complement to the canonical interpretation made through the noucentist aesthetics. By the close reading of L’abrandament we try to show that the cinephile Soldevila was inspired by silent films when he conceived his narrative piece. Built like a string of sequences, articulated according to the codes of the animated image, and starring a character of film nature – very similar to the comic actor Max Linder–, this piece is one of the first literary transfers of the screen to the high Catalan culture.

La prescripció en la literatura infantil: de la censura, El més petit de tots i Els Grumets de La Galera
Authors: Lluch Gemma
Published: August 2023

Summary: Children’s literature has created a different reading circuit due to prescription, that is to say, due to the recommendations and censures that have historically determined the readings addressed to children. This article intends to take a close look at the stakeholders responsible for these actions and at the kind of actions carried out during key moments in the history of Catalan literature. Therefore, the legal system ruling creation, editing and diffusion of books for children between 1936 and 1977 will be examined. Next, the impact of the institutions will be carefully explored through the analysis of El més petit de tots (Anglada, 1937) and that of the significance of the Propaganda Commissariat of the Generalitat de Catalunya (1937–1938). Finally, the paper delves into the influence teachers and parents had by studying the documents stating which readings were appropriate in the first schools that taught in Catalan as well as the books edited during the early days of La Galera publisher (1962–1968).

El teatre d'Àngel Guimerà: un calidoscopi modernista
Authors: Soler Maridès
Published: August 2023

Summary: Except for some few critics (Molas, Fàbregas, Marfany, Benet i Jornet, Neumann), who only casually have mentioned the influence of Modernism in Guimerà’s plays, his theatre is usually considered as representative of Romanticism, of the realistic «Costumism» and, as far as his later plays are concerned, of the cosmopolitan Realism. Among all his plays, some, however, can be considered as clearly belonging to Modernism, while others show occasionally some incidences. The Modernist aspects can already be detected at first sight in some titles and in the onomastic elements. Also various characteristic themes for Modernism can be identified, as, for instance, some specific types of women, nature as protagonist, natural and supernatural events, the scenography, music, mysterious surroundings, social problems and in some plays the location of the plot in exotic Oriental countries.

Descripció fraseològica a partir de l'anàlisi basada en un corpus paral·lel: possibilitats, límits i una proposta
Authors: Van Lawick Heike
Published: August 2023

Summary: The use of monolingual corpora in lexicography is now common practice. However, when creating bilingual dictionaries, the question arises to what extent parallel corpora could be sources to be taken into account. It can be assumed that this kind of corpora could provide possible contextualized lexical correspondences, if the corpora were large enough. Their use could point to problems of interlingual asymmetry, which have not always received the necessary attention in traditional lexicography. I present interlingual and context-motivated problems, which were found in the analysis of German idioms and their Catalan translation using a parallel corpus.

Das Parfum. Olfaktorische Phraseologismen und deren Übersetzung ins Katalanische
Authors: Brumme Jenny , Voellmer Elena
Published: August 2023

Summary: Given the importance of the semantic field of smell in the novel Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, by the German writer Patrick Süskind, olfactory phraseologisms play a central role. The aim of the article is to explore the mechanisms used by the author to evoke a sensory world of smell. We determine the function of olfactory phraseologisms in the construction of this world and analyse how phraseologisms including lexemes nose, to smell, to stink are rendered in the Catalan translation. We then examine which strategies the translator Judith Vilar employs in order to counteract the structural differences between the two languages at a textual level. [Keywords: olfactory phraseologisms, literary translation, modification, contamination, synaesthesia]
Memòria i ficció: metaficció historiogràfica en la narrativa de Jesús Moncada
Authors: Gregori Soldevila Carme
Published: August 2023

Summary: The critical reception of Jesus Moncada’s work has been determined by critical debate that opposed rural literature and urban literature in the eighties of the twentieth century. From this perspective, the narrative of Moncada has been identified with the desire to preserve the memory of Mequinensa, disappeared under the water. The paper proposes a reading of author’s work from the historiographic metafiction in which the exercise of memory is not to be understood as the desire to preserve against forgetting a lost world, but as a question about mechanisms of understanding of the real one, about conditionings and limits on access to knowledge of history and about relationship between fiction and reality. The main resources of historiographic metafiction analysed are: disrepute of memory, fantastic elements, fragmentation of narrative by marginal characters of story, intertextuality, loss of reliance on narrator and irony. Keywords: Historiographic metafiction, Jesús Moncada, contemporary Catalan narrative, irony
Evolució i procés de gramaticalització del marcador discursiu noresmenys en català antic
Authors: Martínez Martínez Caterina
Published: August 2023

Summary: This work studies the grammaticalization process of the counter-argumentative connector noresmenys from its origin as a quantifying adverb to the current value of concessive discourse marker, from the 13th to the 18th century. Within the framework of Cognitive Grammar, especially of Grammaticalization Theory and of the latest contributions around Construction Grammar, we explain the evolution of the concessive connector, paying special attention to the Theory of Argumentation and the dynamics of the Theory of Intersubjectification. With a vision of language and language change rooted in use, in this case, metadiscursive use, we carry out a revision of the conceptual sources and values of noresmenys documented in legal, administrative, epistolary and religious Catalan texts. Keywords: Noresmenys, grammaticalization, counter-argumentation, scalarity, intersubjectification, Construction grammar, concessivity
Des de la perifèria: la construcció d'un símbol a través de la biografia de Raimon, de Joan Fuster
Authors: Esteve Anna
Published: August 2023

Summary: In 1964 Editorial Alcides published a biography of songwriter and singer Raimon written by Joan Fuster. This publication started the singer’s career within Catalonia and other Catalan-speaking regions. Therefore, in this article, I analyze the role and impact that this biography had on the construction of Valencian identity, since, from the periphery (Xàtiva, País Valencià), it became the center of a cultural movement called La Nova Cançó – which, in turn, helped to relaunch Catalan national identity. More concretely, and following initial, well-regarded scholarship (mainly the classical studies by Dosse and Madelénat), I examine the mechanisms and main features of the biographical genre used to construct Raimon’s identity. Keywords: Raimon, Joan Fuster, biography, journal, identity, symbol, Catalan countries
"Que ho faça jo?! Que ho faci ell!" Evolució del present de subjuntiu en el nord-occidental actual
Authors: Massanell i Messalles Mar , Palà Aldabó Gemma
Published: August 2023

Summary: On the basis of a corpus of Northwestern Catalan that collects surveys of 240 informants from 40 localities, we describe several conjugation models of present subjunctive found in this dialect and we analyse the introduction of innovative variants shared by both Central Catalan and standard Catalan spread by the media and the education system. The description of the distribution of different verbal marks of present subjunctive according to person and verb classes makes evident that the introduction of innovative vowel i finds some resistance, on the one hand, in the first person singular, and on the other hand, in the third conjugation with inchoative augment. The analysis of the innovation, considering how it fits the verbal paradigm of Northwestern Catalan, helps us understand the above-mentioned resistance and linguistic change in general. Keywords: Northwestern Catalan; inflectional morphology; linguistic change; present subjunctive; syncretism; inchoative augment
"Ego magister Raymundus Lul catalanus". Entorn a la identitat de Ramon Llull a l'Edat mitjana
Authors: Ensenyat Pujol Gabriel
Published: August 2023

Summary: Ramon Llull is presented as a “Catalan” and was also known in this way in the Middle Ages. This is due to three factors. Firstly, the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Majorca were called like this to distinguish them from other segregated groups (slaves, freedmen, Jews, Muslims, converts) due to their mostly Catalan backgrounds. Secondly, they were also perceived and identified in this way outside the Kingdom. And finally, in assuming this identity, the Blessed Ramon Llull must have understood that his cultural and missionary work outside the Crown of Aragon had to be done as a Catalan. Keywords: Ramon Llull, Catalan, Middle Ages, Kingdom of Majorca, Crown of Aragon
"Com si cap literatura exterior existís": formes de la identitat en l'obra de creació de J. V. Foix
Authors: Veny-Mesquida Joan R.
Published: August 2023

Summary: Based on the premise that all the poetic terroir of Foix is credited for the «principle of identity» that the poet of Sarrià explained in various ways throughout his work, this article tries to make a first approach to the ways that this principle, a main idea of Foix’s thought, crosses the work of the poet, through the explanation and the exemplification of some of the literary procedures that testify this identity. Keywords: Identity, contemporary Catalan literature, J. V. Foix
Reading indicators on the social networks Goodreads and LibraryThing and their impact on Amazon
Authors: González-Fernández-Villavicencio Nieves
Published: August 2023

Summary: The aim of this paper is to identify relations between the most reviews and ratings books in Goodreads and LibraryThing, two of the most impacting social networks of reading, and the list of top-selling titles in Amazon, the giant of the distribution. After a description of both networks and study of their web impact, we have conducted an analysis of correlations in order to see the level of dependency between statistical data they offer and the list of top-selling in Amazon. Only some slight evidences have been found. However there appears to be a strong or moderate correlation between the rest of the data, according to that we propose a battery of indicators to measure the book impact on reading. Keywords: Goodreads, LibraryThing, reading social networks, virtual reading clubs, reading indicators, Amazon
Al voltant del mot explanar, 'passar d’una llengua a una altra'
Authors: Mas i Miralles Antoni
Published: August 2023

Summary: In the Middle Ages, the different Romance languages had a large vocabulary to express the idea of ‘transferring from one language into another’, before the verb ‘to translate’ appeared at the end of the 15th century and overshadowed all the other lexical choices. Apart from this terminology, Catalan also had the verb explanar. In this article, firstly, we analyse the meaning of this term in Latin and in most languages close to Catalan (Castilian, French, Provenzal, Galician-Portuguese and Italian) to obtain an indepth understanding of this term and its meaning. Secondly, we offer a list of references found with the meaning of ‘to translate’; and finally, we focus on its relationship with parlar pla in order to understand its possible semantic evolution and be able to propose a dialectal affiliation. Keywords: Lexicology, Latin, Catalan, Romance languages, Western Catalan
Masclisme(s) i vida quotidiana durant el franquisme: la reelaboració literària de Beatriu Civera i de Maria Beneyto
Authors: Lacueva i Lorenz Maria , Ballester i Roca Josep
Published: August 2023

Summary: Beatriu Civera (Valencia, 1914–1995) and Maria Beneyto i Cuñat (Valencia, 1925–2011) are two of the most powerful literary voices in the post-war Catalan narrative of the Valencian Community, as well as two of the authors who wrote most prolifically about the types of violence used against women during Franco's rule. We will be analysing works that are especially critical of certain groups of Catholic women, and that refer to the degrading treatment received by predominantly female groups in both the private and public spheres, such as prostitutes, single mothers and leftist women. The analysis also covers the daily violence, both physical or psychological, that ‘nonproblematic’ women had to endure. This perspective is, therefore, somewhat unusual in literary tradition up until now, exposing a series of power relations while also offering new nuances in terms of the historical perception of women’s lives during the dictatorship. Keywords: Catalan literature, women writers, Francoism, violence against women, symbolic violence, charity, matrimonial relations, Valencian Country
Tradició i modernitat en el llenguatge dels llibrets de falla de les primeres dècades del segle XX
Authors: Martí Mestre Joaquim
Published: August 2023

Summary: During the first quarter of the 20th century, Valencian writers showed increasing interest in developing a correct orthographical and linguistic model, free from castilianisms, both for formal literature and for popular genres. Traditionally, researchers have insisted mostly on the orthographical influence from the Spanish language in the Fallas books. The researchers thought that even the authors of the Catalan formal literature, when writing the Fallas texts, adopted the Spanish orthographic model. With this work we find, however, that many writers of Fallas books, some engaged in other Valencian literary and cultural activities, were striving to use also in the Fallas books a correct language. The Fallas books, because of the popular character of the genre, are of great lexicographical interest for the study of colloquialisms, dialectalisms and neologisms linked to the social changes of the 20th century. Also, because traditionally they have not been taken into account by lexicographers, the Fallas books offer words and meanings not registered in the historical and etymological dictionaries. Keywords: orthography, lexicon, 20th century, Fallas books, history of the Catalan language

Among them, this article pays attention to the adaptation in the form of a comic strip of some of the folktales originally published by the Grimm Brothers in the Kinder und Hausmärchen, before the appearance of children’s and youth journals that will incorporate comic book as a regular artistic form. Keywords: folktale, Grimm, comic strip, D’Ivori, folk literature
Ramon Vinyes i la renovació de la narrativa colombiana: El proteisme literari a El llac d'Atitlán
Authors: Martí Esteve Imma
Published: August 2023

Summary: This article analyses literary proteanism in Ramon Vinyes’ narrative and particularly in his short story “El llac d’Atitlán”. In this tale Ramon Vinyes turns into fiction his reflections about literary dynamism and the interconnection between literary systems. Literature facilitates knowledge transfer throughout epochs and cultures. Besides, the literary text is the result of various metamorphoses in which individuality and cultural hegemony play an outstanding role. “El llac d’Atitlán” fictionalises through the imagination of a Guatemalan poet the transfer of Renaissance philosophy in Latin America and its corruption under the influence of North American culture. Intertextuality and self-reference are the mechanisms to reshape knowledge. Literary proteanism becomes apparent through semantic and narratological transformation. Keywords: proteanism, knowledge transfer, intertextuality, self-reference, literary system, imperialism, metamorphosis, Pico della Mirandola, tellurism, Grupo de Barranquilla
Processos de lexicalització en llengua de signes catalana de denominacions de l'àmbit del moviment associatiu sordsignant
Authors: Bosch-Baliarda Marta , Jarque Maria Josep , Fos Rodríguez Lídia , Giménez Martin Cynthia , Oncins Anna Robert
Published: August 2023

Summary: This contribution aims to analyse the types of word formation processes for signs denominating Catalan Deaf organisations in Catalan Sign Language. First, a corpus has been created from video-signed texts by identifying and extracting terms of the associate-member organisations. Second, a terminological data file template has been designed using common standard criteria to feed a terminological database. Following the group’s previous work (Jarque, Bosch-Baliarda, & Codorniu, 2019), 4 types of lexicalisation processes have been analysed: formal (e.g. compounding, blending), functional (e.g lexicalisation, zero derivation), borrowing (e.g loanwords, mouthings) and semantic (e.g semantic change, extension). The cognitive mechanisms involved (conceptual metaphor and metonymy) are also described. The analysis is framed within the construction-based theoretical models and points out the need to establish new complex non-linear models to explain the multiple processes involved. Keywords: Catalan Sign Language, compounding, construction, constructional approach, lexical creation, multi-word unit, word-formation process, signing deaf community
The category of person in Catalan Sign Language (LSC) personal pronouns
Authors: Veiga Busto Raquel
Published: August 2023

Summary: Pronouns can carry grammatical information about their antecedents, most commonly person, number and gender. Although a lot of research has been devoted to exploring the features that sign language pronouns specify, whether or not they encode grammatical distinctions among first, second and third person remains a matter of discussion. However, most studies have focused on singular forms only, and much less attention has been paid to their plural counterparts. Based on the analysis of Catalan Sign Language (LSC) data, this paper aims to contribute to the debate by describing the articulation of the full paradigm of personal pronouns, that is, explicitly integrating non-singular forms in the investigation. Ultimately, this study argues in favor of a threeperson analysis of pronouns in LSC, showing that it is possible to account for the different marking of first, second and third person by using a modified version of Berenz’s (1996) Body Coordinates Model. Keywords: personal pronouns, Catalan Sign Language (LSC), person markers, duals and collective plurals, body coordinates model, pronominal typologies
Inspiració popular i creació literària: uns quants exemples nord-catalans (1883-1960)
Authors: Aguilar Miró Estel , Berthelot Martine
Published: August 2023

How have northern Catalan writers used references present in the oral tradition (characters, places, themes and motifs) to recreate them and enrich their creative work? We will see, first, the influence of the tales, or what was left of the half-forgotten traditional tales, in the resumption or, properly said, re-elaboration made by poets such as Caseponce, Pons, Cerdà, Brazès, which allowed them to expand their creation rehearsing another literary genre. Then, looking at poetry, we will highlight the forms in which writers such as Pepratx, Bonafont or Berga merge popular poetry with their own poetic imagination.
Els llibres de viatges en la crítica de Domènec Guansé
Authors: Isarch Antoni
Published: August 2023

This paper analyzes Domènec Guansé’s critical attention to travel literature in Catalan newspapers, which experiences a major revival from middle 1920’s to the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. The introduction of that genre in Catalan literature is part of a wider context encouraging all ways of cultural modernity, such as magazines or non-fiction books. Guansé looks in detail at the most outstanding works by Nicolau M. Rubió i Tudurí, Enric Blanco and specially Aurora Bertrana. Her Paradisos oceànics is a milestone in travel books, both for its quality and documentary value and for non-literary issues: primarily the writer’s female condition (paradigm of the new cultural role that women have to play) and the cosmopolitanism that it adds to literary circles.
Sistemas políticos y sistemas de salud en América Latina, en el contexto de gobiernos corporativos y neoliberalismo regional
Authors: Vélez Rivera Ramiro , Cardona Rivas Dora , Villasana López Pedro Enrique
Published: August 2023

Este trabajo tiene el propósito de colaborar en la comprensión de los procesos relacionados con las políticas públicas que se fundamentan en las relaciones de mercado y que dan lugar a Sistemas de Salud que desconocen a la Salud como un Derecho Fundamental consagrado en las constituciones y normativas de los países. Para ello, desde un enfoque critico–hermenéutico, este documento define y analiza los antecedentes del corporativismo en Salud Pública en América Latina, y su relación con el neoliberalismo a la luz de los planteamientos de algunas y algunos referentes teóricos. Se logran evidenciar algunas aristas del papel desempeñado por el corporativismo en la concepción y diseño de las políticas de salud, la organización y reformas a los sistemas de salud, así como mostrar condiciones de posibilidad para la participación social en la construcción de sistemas de salud alternos a la lógica del neoliberalismo.

Authors: Chen Huan , Chan-Olmsted Sylvia , Thai My T.
Published: August 2023

Fairness has been touted as one of the most important issues for responsible AI as sophisticated AI-powered systems increasingly impact human lives. At the same time, access to information is essential in today’s knowledge economy and fundamental to American democracy. However, certain groups of the population might be excluded or lack access to participate fully in public discourse/economy because their cultural background presents obstacles to accessing or comprehending uniformly disseminated information without consideration of cultural relevance. The current study is the first study of a large research project on AI fairness and information access designed to explore how different minority groups perceive their information access needs and how cultural factors might shape their information access experiences. Data was collected through 49 comprehensive interviews conducted with a variety of ethnic groups. Thematic analysis technique and NVivo 12 plus were used to analyze data. Findings revealed that while ethnic users can identify several challenges and issues regarding their information access, they either do not realize or cannot explicitly articulate how their ethnic backgrounds or cultural factors would shape their information access experiences.

Ensuring the quality of atmospheric air on main streets and in residential buildings by means of planning and landscaping
Authors: Balakin Vladimir V. , Aleksikov Sergei V. , Azarov Valeri N.
Published: August 2023

Introduction. The level of concentration of toxic substances in the atmospheric air of main streets is largely determined by their aeration regime, established due to exposure to air flow of buildings and green spaces. Therefore, when developing master plans of cities and projects of detailed planning of residential formations to ensure hygienic standards for the expected content of emissions of motor transport in the air of transport communications and adjacent residential buildings, the influence of urban factors on wind speed and direction one should take into account.

The aim of the study is the justification and selection of urban planning measures to reduce atmospheric air pollution from main roads and streets by exhaust gases of motor transport.

Material and methods. Full-scale surveys of transport infrastructure facilities in large cities and modelling of the processes of dispersion of exhaust gases of cars in the air using models of residential buildings and green spaces.

Results. The regularities of the formation of the aeration regime of city streets and the dispersion of car emissions behind the landscaping strips and in residential buildings have been established. Optimal variants of planning, development and landscaping of main streets have been determined, ensuring the reduction of gas contamination of pedestrian zones, public spaces and residential areas.

Limitations. The choice of landscaping objects for urban roads and streets for field observations and modelling of car emissions dispersion processes is limited to strips of green spaces of a blown and dense construction, without taking into account the peculiarities of the transformation of the air flow and reducing gas pollution under the influence of landscaping strips of an openwork design.

Conclusions. Reduction of gas pollution of main roads and streets is ensured by choosing the direction of the route and planning, and building techniques. At the same time, it is necessary to use environmental protection linear-strip landscaping facilities of optimal design. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that frontal multi-sectional buildings and strips of green spaces of windproof dense construction stimulate the appearance of stable vortices with a closed circulation of impurities in street canyons and on sections of highways. When choosing urban planning solutions to ensure the quality of atmospheric air of transport communications and adjacent residential buildings in various landscape and climatic conditions, it is necessary to take into account the specifics of the tasks arising in this case to regulate the aeration regime and reclamation of the microclimate as a whole.

Introduction. To prevent cardiovascular accidents and preserve the employability in workers in the pivotal occupations of the coal and aluminum industries it is required timely identification of risk groups for long-term asymptomatic damage to the atherosclerotic process of the arteries.
Material and methods. The study included two hundred twenty two miners and 109 workers in the aluminum industry aged of 40–55 years (average age of miners – 47.1 ± 0.36 years, metallurgists – 47.64 ± 0.43 years, р = 0.367). All subjects underwent ultrasound investigation of the carotid and femoral arteries. Also anamnestic, anthropometric data, the presence of arterial hypertension, indices of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism were evaluated.
Results. Miners were more often diagnosed with intimal thickening (41.9% vs. 27.5%, p = 0.011), in contrast to aluminum production workers, who were significantly more likely to have atherosclerotic plaques (57.8% vs. 43.2%, p = 0.0127). The frequency of generally accepted risk factors for atherosclerosis in both occupational cohorts (arterial hypertension, smoking, carbohydrate metabolism disorders, physical inactivity, obesity) was detected without significant differences. Miners with atherosclerosis were diagnosed with significantly higher average values of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, metallurgists with atherosclerosis showed hypertriglyceridemia.
Limitations. The study was limited by the number of the examined persons undergoing periodic medical examination at the Research Institute for Complex Problems of Hygiene and Occupational Diseases.
Conclusion. A more significant lesion of the main arteries in the form of atherosclerotic plaques with varying degrees of stenosis was found in aluminum production workers compared to miners, which was probably due to the more aggressive influence of harmful production factors in metallurgists. In this regard, it is recommended to conduct a screening ultrasound investigation of the main arteries at a periodic medical examination, which will identify a risk group for the timely prevention of cardiovascular complications.

Introduction. Autonomic disorders in the form of autonomic neuropathy develop in vibration disease already at the early stages. As the disease progresses, the compensatory mechanisms of autonomic regulation are depleted, which leads to a worse prognosis for life and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death in patients with a severe degree of autonomic neuropathy.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the severity of autonomic disorders and the preservation of compensatory reserves of autonomic regulation in patients with vibration disease.
Materials and methods. One hundred thirty six miners with a proven diagnosis of vibration disease and 60 apparently healthy men of similar age without complaints and who had never worked under the conditions of exposure to industrial vibration were examined. Heart rate variability was analyzed at rest and during an active orthostatic test.
Results. A decrease in the spectral parameters of heart rate variability in the patients with vibration disease was revealed. In a subgroup of the patients with an initially low level of very low frequency oscillations (less than 30 ms2/Hz), a decrease in the non-linear entropy index (less than 180) was determined; when performing an active orthostatic test, the power of very low frequency spectrum oscillations in the patients of this subgroup decreased by more than 50% of the initial values. In all patients with vibration disease under orthostatic load, a decrease in the oscillations of high and low frequencies of the spectrum of heart rate variability was revealed, whereas in the control group, the low frequency oscillation power remained at the initial level.
Limitations. The study was limited to the evaluation of spectral and non-linear indices of heart rate variability in 136 miners with vibration disease.
Conclusion. The criteria for a severe course of autonomic neuropathy in the patients with vibration disease were identified: an initial decrease in the power of very low frequency oscillations and a non-linear entropy index of heart rate variability, as well as a decrease in the power of very low frequency oscillations by more than 50% during an orthostatic test. According to these criteria, in 40.4% of the miners with vibration disease, pronounced violations of the autonomic support with a lack of compensatory mechanisms of autonomic regulation were found to be detected.
Climate is More Than Just Weather: Gap of Knowledge about Climate Change and Its Psychological Impacts among Indonesian Youth

Climate change is an environmental threat in Indonesia, affecting not only physical and environmental but also psychological conditions. Youth are among the most vulnerable groups in society to the impacts of climate change. However, the attention and involvement of young people on climate change issues are minimal. This study aimed to determine the knowledge and sources of information about climate change, and the impacts of climate change on young people aged 15-29 years. A descriptive qualitative approach with open-ended questionnaires was used for the study with 107 participants. Findings revealed that young people equated climate change with changes in weather or seasons, and also the rising temperatures. Indonesia's climate is increasingly extreme, erratic, and hotter, leading to physical, psychological, and social impacts. Participants felt worried, scared, anxious, sad, angry, panicked, and confused as the psychological impacts of climate change. Surprisingly, instead of experiencing negative emotions, some participants felt nothing and expressed curiosity about climate change. The internet and social media are the main sources of information. Meanwhile, friends are the first option to talk about climate change. Results indicate that Indonesian youth have little understanding of climate change, but they are aware of the crisis. Further research on the psychological impacts of climate change is needed.

Ethiopia's growing population, urbanization, and booming construction industries are all factors in the country's rising demand for wood products. The country's current plantations are inadequate to meet the demand for wood products. The country only exports a small amount of wood, accounting for about 1.45% of all imports, while importing over 3 million m3 round wood equivalent (RWE), amounting to about USD 182.53 million. This showed that there is a large gap between import and export bills, which indicates a negative trade balance. The goal of this study is to examine supply patterns as well as existing and prospective demand for wood products, particularly industrial wood and wood fuel. First, a collection of all relevant documents indicating supply and demand was done.  Then, two groups were created out of official records and study papers. Literature that is pertinent and related to the topic was chosen from among the groups. Different publications between 2010 and 2022 a total of 37 were utilized for this review. It was found that Ethiopia consumes more than 130 million m3/year of round wood equivalent, of which about 92.3% is used as wood fuel and the remaining is used to produce industrial goods with added value. Nowadays, imports provide a significant amount of Ethiopia's wood demand, and in 2015 alone, more than 30% of industrial needs were satisfied by imports. The review helps in determining the resource potential, supply-demand imbalance, and current level of demand for wood products.
Affirmation of Traditional Rights and Indigenous Women's Knowledge on Post-Mining Livelihood in Dompak Island, Riau Islands
Authors: Wahyuni Sri , Syafitri Rahma , Niko Nikodemus , Ahsan Zikri Raudhatul
Published: August 2023

This research aims to understand the indigenous women's knowledge of post-mining livelihoods in Pulau Dompak and how that knowledge is neglected in decision-making by the government and mining companies. The research uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and document studies. The results show that indigenous women have extensive and profound knowledge about post-mining livelihoods based on their experiences and traditional knowledge. However, their knowledge is often disregarded in decision-making related to post-mining reclamation by the government and mining companies. Women's involvement in decision-making is also limited due to patriarchal social structures in indigenous communities. This research recommends the need for recognition and protection of the traditional rights of indigenous women in decision-making related to post-mining reclamation, as well as efforts to reduce gender disparities in decision-making involvement.
