Enrique Díez-Canedo: traductor del italiano en la Edad de Plata. Contextualización historiográfica
Authors: Mazzarello Alice
Published: January 2024

Enrique Díez-Canedo fue una figura emblemática del contexto cultural de la Edad de Plata. Si bien se quedó siempre en segundo plano respecto a los grandes éxitos de la época, tuvo un papel clave en diferentes dinámicas que caracterizaron el panorama literario de las primeras décadas del siglo XX a partir de las múltiples profesiones que desempeñó: poeta, crítico literario, traductor, docente. A lo largo de toda su vida ejerció una gran labor como traductor, que supera incluso la producción poética por volumen, y hasta en época reciente se siguieron publicando algunas de sus traducciones, cuyo valor y vigencia son indudables. Desde hace dos decenios, su faceta como traductor ha empezado a ser objeto de estudio y se ha investigado especialmente el rol de la lengua francesa e inglesa, y sus respectivas literaturas. El presente trabajo persigue arrojar luz sobre las traducciones del italiano realizadas por Díez-Canedo dado que no existen estudios sistemáticos que aclaren el estrecho contacto del autor con este idioma. Se presentará un corpus constituido por cuarenta y cuatro poetas y sesenta y seis traducciones poéticas que abarcan ocho siglos de la literatura italiana. La investigación se llevó a cabo con el aporte indispensable de la prensa y las revistas digitalizadas de la Edad de Plata que ahora están al alcance de todos gracias a algunas importantes hemerotecas digitales de España. El objetivo es brindar una descripción analítica del corpus que destacará el papel de Díez-Canedo como difusor de la poesía italiana en España, y una contextualización historiográfica para explicar los criterios que le inspiraron en la selección de autores y textos a lo largo de su actividad. En esta fase y antes de realizar un análisis completo de esta porción tan importante de la obra del escritor, me limito a ofrecer, en la última parte del artículo, unas observaciones sobre su manera de proceder en la traducción de tres breves textos que forman parte del corpus individualizado.

Authors: Batista Monica Dias , Bastos Sênia Regina
Published: January 2024

Os festivais gastronômicos contribuem diretamente para a conexão do visitante às tradições culinárias locais. Essa pesquisa teve como objetivo compreender como os aspectos culturais influenciam as relações de hospitalidade de festivais gastronômicos associados aos saberes locais em Minas Gerais, a partir da perspectiva de seus organizadores e expositores. Por terem seus ofícios atualmente reconhecidos ou em processo de reconhecimento como patrimônio cultural nacional, foram considerados a Festa do Queijo do Serro e o Festival da Quitanda de Congonhas. De abordagem qualitativa, os procedimentos metodológicos compreenderam levantamento bibliográfico e documental, e realização de entrevistas com organizadores e produtores expositores dos festivais gastronômicos, e profissionais especialistas nas áreas de gastronomia e patrimônio. Como resultado, por meio do método de análise de conteúdo, obteve-se que o reconhecimento e a celebração do saber local associado à alimentação contribuíram para a criação de ambos os festivais, fortalecendo a região de origem e promovendo orgulho entre seus produtores. Observou-se também que o domínio dos ofícios associados aos saberes locais e os aspectos culturais influenciam as relações de hospitalidade entre os organizadores e os produtores, e destes com os visitantes, aspectos indutores na definição das características hospitaleiras regionais.
A népzene szerepének párhuzamai a törökországi és hazai iskolai zeneoktatásban
Authors: Janurik Tímea
Published: January 2024

A tanulmány a törökországi és magyarországi népzene 17. századtól kezdődően betöltött szerepét, illetve jelenlegi használatát mutatja be az iskolai zeneórák keretében. Vizsgálja a népzene jelentőségének felfedezését, annak idejét, és a népzene szerepének növelésével kitűzött célokat. Összehasonlítja a két vizsgált országban a népdalgyűjtés kezdetét, a népzene bekerülését az oktatásba és a zenei tantervekbe, illetve népszerűségének növelésére is javaslatot tesz. Párhuzamba állítja a két nemzet népzeneoktatásának kérdését és a fentebb írt előzményeket a 17. századtól a 20. század végéig, továbbá említi a törökországi népzenekutatás magyar vonatkozását is. A népzeneoktatás kifejezés a népzene iskolarendszerű oktatását jelenti, mely a tanulmányban abban az értelemben szerepel, miszerint a normál tantervű, mindenki által elérhető iskolai énekoktatáson belül tanítja a népzenét. Kitekint az iskolai zeneoktatás jelenlegi trendjeire más európai országokban, különös tekintettel a népzenehasználtra, így felállítva az elméletet, hogy a vizsgált országok zeneóráin is hasonlóan fontos szerepet kap a népzene, mint a törökországi és magyarországi énekórákon. Összegezve látható, hogy a népdalok (török meghatározásban névtelen dalok) jelentős részét képezik az énekóráknak a transzferdaloknak nevezett más népek népdalaival és az anyanyelven énekelt, népzenei alapú iskolai dalokkal együtt, mely utóbbi két fogalom szintén népzenét, népzenei alapú dalokat jelent. A kezdetekben kitűzött, népzenével elért nemzeti célok napjainkig meghatározóak mindkét országban, bár a kutatások azt mutatják, hogy a tanulók kevésbé érdeklődnek iránta. Ennek ellensúlyozására születettek jó gyakorlatok, melyeket bemutat a tanulmány. A téma feldolgozásához a magyar, török és angol nyelvű irodalomban vizsgáltam a zene különböző műfajait és használatát a századok során, különös tekintettel a népzene szerepére és oktatására.
Investigation of Abundance and Spatial Distribution of Marine Debris on Ghanaian Urban Coastal Beaches
Authors: Adu-Boahen Kofi
Published: January 2024

Marine debris has been identified as a form of pollution for more than half a century, and it is a major concern for the general public due to its detrimental effects on the environment and human health. The accumulation of marine debris not only affects the aesthetic appeal of our oceans but also poses a significant threat to safety. The impact of marine debris on the tourism industry, especially the eco-tourism sector, is a growing concern both locally and globally. The objective of this study was to conduct a comprehensive assessment of marine debris on three beaches of Ghana along the Gulf of Guinea. It sought to survey the spatiotemporal changes in the concentration of marine debris, quantify the perceptions of locals and beach users of marine debris, examine the citizen science perspectives on marine debris and finally analyse the effects of marine debris on coastal resources. The study employed a shoreline debris survey and citizen science approach to achieve this objective. Content analysis in NVivo was deployed to analyze transcriptions from the interviews. A standing stock beach survey was used to survey debris in 100 m2 quadrants for 30 occasions each for the three studied beaches at 12-day intervals, which spanned one year. Debris was classified and quantified according to the NOAA classification scheme for marine debris. The quantitative data generated were analyzed in SPSS 23.0 to establish debris abundance and spatiotemporal differences. Results revealed that plastics are the dominant debris type, accounting for 52% of the total debris surveyed, which was confirmed by the citizen science approach. Biriwa Beach had a minor debris abundance, statistically different from Abandze and Anomabo. The paper found significant seasonal differences in the concentration and spatial distribution of all debris types except for plastics and processed lumber. Respondents acknowledged the effects of marine debris on humans and the environment. The study recommends making adequate waste management infrastructure available in the area. NGOs and the Municipal Assembly should educate residents on effective mass participation in waste management practices to curb debris accumulation.

Authors: Malaquias Fernanda , Dos Santos Jacobi Lisemaura , Hwang Yujong
Published: January 2024

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) can benefit mompreneurs, empowering them to start and expand their business. ICTs became even more important for mompreneurs during the COVID-19 pandemic when small business owners had to reinvent themselves and seek alternative ways of maintaining their sales and remaining in the market. In this context, this paper aims to investigate factors related to ICT adoption by Brazilian mompreneurs. The data were collected during the first months of COVID-19 pandemic and were analyzed through structural equation modelling. The descriptive analysis shows that mompreneurs are adopting innovative technologies such as electronic payments, cloud computing, social networks, video conferencing, and others to manage their business. Moreover, the results indicate that two dimensions of Entrepreneurial Orientation (proactiveness and risk-taking) have a significant effect on perceived ease-of-use and an indirect effect on ICT adoption.
Mixed-Method Approach for Human Value Education in Inclusive Pre-Schools: Cultivating Peace to Mitigate Child Conflicts
Authors: Parwoto  , Amir Rudy , Amriani. H Sri Rika , Syamsuardi  , Herlina
Published: January 2024

This study evaluates the implementation development of the PNKT-BD (Integrated Human Values Education Based on a Culture of Peace) model in the inclusive preschool setting of TK Teratai UNM Makassar, employing a mixed-method approach blending qualitative and quantitative research methodologies. The objectives were to integrate human values education into preschool activities, assessing its effectiveness in fostering a peaceful and inclusive environment. The study commenced with a needs assessment, revealing a high demand among teachers and parents for the PNKT-BD model despite challenges such as limited learning facilities. The model's development involved creating educational tools and conducting trials to evaluate their effectiveness. The model's validity, reliability, and practicality were assessed quantitatively, showing positive outcomes. Teachers played a key role as facilitators, promoting peaceful attitudes and inclusivity, supported by appropriate facilities. The findings suggest the PNKT-BD model is a viable approach for integrating human values in early childhood education, with potential applicability in various regions. The research also found that implementing the PNKT-BD model markedly improved children's social skills and conflict-resolution abilities. It was also observed that there was a significant increase in the inclusiveness and empathy displayed by children, both towards their peers and in the overall classroom environment. However, the study's focus on a single institution and reliance on self-reported data indicate the need for further research in diverse settings. The study underscores the importance of teacher training and resource development for the model's broader adoption.

Published: January 2024

This study explores the effectiveness of reading corners in enhancing literacy among early childhood learners at Thiflah Early Childhood Education (ECE) in Aceh Besar, Indonesia. Employing a phenomenological research design with qualitative methods, this study aims to understand the subjective experiences of educators and learners about literacy enhancement strategies. The research incorporated observations, interviews, and documentation, with a focus on the role of the reading corner in fostering literacy. Results indicated significant improvements in children’s engagement and comprehension in reading, writing, and arithmetic, attributed to the interactive and play-oriented learning environment. However, challenges such as insufficient resources and reliance on student teachers with limited experience were identified. The findings suggest that the reading corner approach, aligning with Indonesia's National Literacy Movement, can be a viable model for enhancing early literacy in various educational settings. The study recommends further research into the effectiveness of reading corners in diverse ECE contexts and emphasizes the need for resource enhancement and teaching methodology improvements. These insights are crucial for developing engaging, child-centric learning environments for early literacy development and overall child growth, contributing significantly to Indonesia's National Literacy Movement.
An Ivory Writing Tablet from Poggio Civitate (Murlo)
Authors: Tuck Anthony , Wallace Rex , Camman Brooke , Weber Mackenzie
Published: January 2024

Four non-joining fragments of an ivory object were recovered in the vicinity of Poggio Civitate’s OC2/Workshop, an industrial structure associated with the community’s intermediate phase of development (c. 650–600 BCE). The ivory fragments preserve elements of a similar decorative design—an incised guilloche pattern—indicating that they were constituents of the same object. One fragment (PC20080011) preserves a corner of the object. Inside the decorative border, a squared recessed area of between 1 mm and 2 mm is visible, which suggests that these ivory fragments are pieces of a writing tablet similar in shape and size to the one recovered from Marsiliana d’Albegna. This paper explores the archaeological context of the find and the tablet’s implications for literacy and recordkeeping at Poggio Civitate.
Debt Bondage in Late Period Egypt (8th – 5th Century BC)
Authors: Karev Ella
Published: January 2024

This paper argues, in contrast to some previous scholarship, that debt bondage was not practiced in Egypt’s Late Period (c. 8th–5th centuries BC). The phenomena of self-sales into slavery and the inclusion of children in lists of security in loan contracts have been offered as evidence of debt bondage in past studies: in the former, arguing that self-sales were a means to satisfy debts; in the latter, that seizure of children into bondage was precipitated by default on a debt. But there is no evidence for these manifestations of debt bondage in practice. In an examination of all relevant self-sales and loan contracts of the period, it can be shown that in no case was a person seized for security or in distraint, and that self-sales did not occur specifically as a result of debtor default. In practice, creditors likely pursued punitive measures such as fine or high interest rather than the potentially expensive and troublesome seizure of debtors. The conditional clauses regarding seizure or distraint reflected in loan documents must thus be regarded as notional rather than actionable, more representative of the social rather than financial capital at stake when one defaulted on a debt. Excluding debt bondage from the Egyptian socio-economic landscape of the period opens the discussion to the implications for social practice, family life, and credit systems.

-soliton solutions of the addressed system with known coefficients is presented. With the assistance of the stated methodology, a cloaked form of an analytical solution is discovered in expressions of lump-soliton rational functions with a few lovable parameters. Solutions to this study’s problems are identified specifically as belonging to the lump-one, two, three, and four soliton solutions. By defining the specific advantages of the epitomized parameters by the depiction of figures and by interpreting the physical occurrences are established acceptable soliton arrangements and dealt with the physical importance of the obtained arrangements. Finally, under certain conditions, the physical behavior of solutions is analyzed by using the mentioned method. Moreover, the graphs with high resolutions including three-dimensional plots, density plots, and two-dimensional plots to determine a deep understanding of plotted solutions that will arise in the applied mathematics and nonlinear physics are employed.
Investigating the Impact of Consumption Distribution on CRRA Estimation: Quantile-CCAPM-Based Approach
Authors: Ramos Sofia B. , Taamouti Abderrahim , Veiga Helena
Published: January 2024

Using quantile maximization decision theory, this paper considers a quantile-based Euler equation that states that the asset price is a function of the quantiles of the payoff, consumption growth, the stochastic discount factor, risk aversion, and the distribution of the consumption growth rate. We use a more general distribution assumption (log-elliptical distributions) than the log-normality of the consumption growth rate assumed in the literature. The simulation results show that: (1) the higher the downside risk aversion, the lower the constant relative risk aversion; (2) the heavier the tails of the Student-t distribution, the higher the risk aversion for each level of downside risk aversion; and (3) the curve of the relationship between risk aversion and downside risk aversion shifts upward when the normality assumption is dropped, and the magnitude of this shift is high even for high degrees of freedom of the Student-t distribution. Our results suggest that using normally distributed errors to model stock returns and consumption growth rates could lead to an underestimation of the risk aversion coefficient.

Bifurcation and stability analysis of atherosclerosis disease model characterizing the anti-oxidative activity of HDL during short- and long-time evolution
Authors: Adak Asish , Mukherjee Debasmita , Gupta Praveen Kumar
Published: January 2024

In this article, a partial differential equation (PDE) model for atherosclerosis disease is presented that analyzes the anti-oxidative activity of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) during the reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) process. The model thoroughly investigates the complex interplay between oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) and high-density lipoprotein in the context of atherosclerosis, emphasizing their combined impact on plaque formation, disease progression, and regression. In addition to this, we considered that monocytes are also attracted by the presence of ox-LDL within the intima. Detailed discussions on stability analyses of the reaction dynamical system at non-inflammatory and chronic equilibrium are provided, followed by a bifurcation analysis for the proposed system. Furthermore, stability analysis for the PDE model in the presence of diffusion is conducted. Our study reveals that the oxidation rate of LDL by monocytes (δ) and the influx rate of HDL (ϕ) due to drugs/diet are primarily responsible for the existence of bi-stability of equilibrium points. In the numerical results, we observe that non-inflammatory or chronic equilibrium points exist for either a short or a long time, and these findings are validated with existing results. The biological elucidation shows the novelty in terms of enhancing our ability to assess intervention efficacy to generate therapeutic strategies resulting in the reduction of the atherosclerotic burden and associated cardiovascular risks.
Munkavállalói elégedettség a home office-szal a Covid alatt és után
Authors: Venczel-Szakó Tímea , Sipos Norbert , Bankó Zoltán
Published: January 2024

A TANULMÁNY CÉLJA
 
Tanulmányunk célja, hogy bemutassa, hogyan változott a munkavállalók home office-szal való elégedettsége a Covid alatt és után. A home office a Covid ideje alatt vált népszerűvé Magyarországon, sokan, akik előtte nem dolgoztak ebben a munkavégzési formában, megtapasztalhatták annak előnyeit és hátrányait. Az is fontos aspektus, ezt hogyan élték meg az emberek a Covid alatt, azonban mivel számos torzító tényező volt jelen ebben az időszakban (betegség, stressz, bizonytalanság, kényszer, gyermekek az otthoni munkavégzés alatt), így érdemes megvizsgálni azt is, hogyan változott az elégedettség a járvány lecsengése után. Főbb kutatási kérdésünk is ehhez kapcsolódik, vagyis hogyan változott a home office megítélése a járvány megszűnését követően.
ALKALMAZOTT MÓDSZERTAN
Az alkalmazott módszeran online kérdőíves megkérdezés volt. Kutatásunk két részből állt. A vizsgálat során először 600 fő 18-64 éves magyar lakost kérdeztünk meg online kérdőívvel, akiknek minimum három hónap home office tapasztalatuk van. A felmérés első üteme a Covid-járvány 3. hullámának végén, 2021 májusában és júniusában zajlott. A kutatás meghatározott kvóták mentén zajlott. A második kutatási fázis a Covid után, 2022 februárjában és márciusában zajlott. A kutatás során 1000 magyar lakost kérdeztünk meg online kérdőívvel. Az eredmények reprezentatívak a teljes felnőtt, 18-64 éves magyar lakosságra nézve, mind életkor, nem, iskolai végzettség, lakóhely, foglalkoztatási szektor tekintetében.
LEGFONTOSABB EREDMÉNYEK
A legfontosabb eredmények, újdonságok közé tartozik, hogy a dolgozók home office-szal való elégedettsége (elégedettségi index) csökkent, a pozitív hozzáállás viszont nőtt. A kutatási eredmények egyértelművé teszik, hogy a dolgozók nyitottak a home office lehetőségére, ugyanakkor már nem tekintik jutalomnak, hanem sokkal inkább elvárják ezt a lehetőséget a munkaadójuktól, és magasabb elvárásaik vannak a feltételeket illetően.
GYAKORLATI JAVASLATOK
Gyakorlati javaslatunk tehát, hogy a fenti eredményeket vegyék figyelembe a kis- és középvállalatok vezetői is, amennyiben van rá lehetőségük, biztosítsanak otthoni munkavégzési lehetőséget dolgozóik számára. Ezáltal még könnyebb a tehetségek megtartása, az új munkaerő megszerzése, a munkavállalói elégedettség növelése.
The Effect of Burnout Syndrome on Graduate Students during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors:   ,   PTE ETK Egészségtudományi Doktori Iskola, Barreto Andrade Diego Micael
Published: January 2024

The COVID-19 outbreak has had an immense impact on academic life and mental health of graduate students. Graduate students had experienced obligatory curfews and quarantines due to the COVID-19 outbreak directly impacting their mental health and triggering academic burnout. This Ph.D. thesis aimed to evaluate the effect of Burnout Syndrome in graduate students during the COVID-19. The current thesis is composed of six chapters. Chapter one is an introductory chapter that introduces the etiology of Burnout Syndrome, concept of Academic Burnout, including its factors associated, implications and consequences, as well as the impact of COVID- 19 among graduate students. Chapter two presents the first part of the current research, which is a systematic review of the COVID-19 pandemic on academic burnout researched according to the PRISMA guideline. Chapter three displays the second part of this research, which is assessing the family functionality, perceived social support, and coping with burnout syndrome among graduate students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Chapter four explores the factors associated with burnout syndrome among graduate students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The last two chapters were a cross-section study with 519 graduate students from master's and Ph.D./DLA degrees. Chapter five presents the novel findings of this thesis, including the recommendations, and implications for practice and research. Finally, chapter six shows the list of publications related to the current thesis and other topics. The findings in this thesis can provide valuable insights into the patterns and predictors of academic burnout among graduate students. As well as helping higher education institutions, especially in challenging environments like a pandemic, to better recognize external factors contributing to academic burnout. Furthermore, these findings can be a resource for prospective graduate students and university administrators, aiding them in identifying, advocating for, and implementing necessary changes to support individuals experiencing academic burnout and proactively prevent its development in others.
“Family Therapy” With Individuals
Authors: Weakland John H.
Published: January 2024

The interactional view that problem behavior occurs in the context of, and is maintained by, other behaviors, is seen as the basic premise of family therapy in general. It is proposed that not all environing behaviors are important. “Attempted solutions” are primary—and if these premises are taken seriously, it follows that it is not necessary to see whole families routinely. Advantages of seeing individual in certain kinds of situations are outlined. As a counterpoint, the application of the same interactional viewpoint to apparently “individual” problems is considered briefly.

The COVID-19 pandemic had devastating effects on Indigenous communities worldwide. However, communities continued in various ways to preserve cultural connections and practice land and family-based activities central to health and well-being. This study was a collaborative effort between a university, a community agency, and a Haudenosaunee community to explore how culture and identity promoted mental health during the pandemic. A cultural program, Firekeepers, was delivered to promote and maintain connections and wellness. Semi-structured interviews with 19 community member participants focused on how knowing about your culture and identity helps you be mentally healthy. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis, and six themes were identified. Results add to the growing literature on the health restoring and affirming effects of culturally based belonging and participation in Indigenous cultural communities.

Published: January 2024

Zeolitik imidazolat kafes yapıları (ZIF'ler), geniş yüzey alanı, yüksek gözeneklilik, olağanüstü termal ve kimyasal kararlılık gibi ayırt edici özelliklerinden dolayı büyük ilgi görmektedir. ZIF'lerin yüzey alanını etkileyen morfolojik özelliklerini kontrol edebilmek için sentezlenen yapıların oluşumunda önemli rol oynayan sentez parametrelerinin etkisinin bilinmesi gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, gıda alanında uygulama potansiyalinin geliştirilmesi için ZIF-67 yapılarının farklı koşullar altında sentezlenmesidir. Sentezlenen malzemelerin morfolojileri (FE-SEM, polarize ışık mikroskobu), yüzey alanları (BET), kimyasal yapıları (FTIR) ve kristallikleri (XRD) incelenmiştir. Sentez esnasında TEA kullanılması ve kobalt nitrat ile 2-mIM konsantrasyonun artırılması dodekahedron yapının bozulmasına sebep olmuştur. Metanol miktarı azaltıldığında ise ZIF-67 nanoparçacıklarının boyutlarının arttığı belirlenmiştir. Dodekahedron morfolojiye sahip ZIF-67 nispeten yüksek bir nitrojen sorpsiyonu ve BET yüzey alanı göstermekle birlikte, karakteristik C-H ve C=N germe zirvelerine de sahiptir. Elde edilen ZIF-67 yüklü nanoliflerin; gıda kirleticilerinin adsorpsiyonu, gıda paketleme sistemlerinin geliştirilmesi, gaz depolama ve biyosensörler gibi gıda uygulamaları için umut verici olduğu düşünülmektedir.
El Jefe

This article focuses on one phase of the long historical involvement of Chicano/as in representational government in New Mexico. In 1920, the selfidentifled Hispanos of New Mexico began to align themselves behind Bronson Cutting, an extraordinary Anglo leader who became a U.S. Senator in 1928. The research dispels the stereotype, common in the literature, that Hispanos passively cleaved to Cutting’s strong-willed leadership out of a putative culture of dependency. It clarifies the patterns of agency that actually characterized Hispano/a engagement in the politics of the Progressive Era. It shows how the conditions of extreme political tumult in the 1920s created certain political interests for Progressive Hispanos, Hispano World War 11 veterans, and Hispano defectors from the ineffective Republican and Democratic parties. These three Hispano sectors realized the importance of Cutting’s charisma and alternative Progressive politics for enhancing Hispano participation in the electoral arena and for addressing issues of racism, as revealed in a basic chronology of the Cutting-Hispano relationship between 1920 and 1935.
From Chingada to Chingona
Authors: Alcalá Rita Cano
Published: January 2024

By reinserting Doria Marina’s forgotten daughter Maria Jaramillo into the Mexicano/Chicano myth of mestizaje, this essay offers a reinterpretation of La Malinche/Doña Marina/Malinalli/ Malintzin as a sister and a daughter. While this gesture in no way pees her into unfettered age.ncy, the paradigmatic narrative of a sister forsaken in the interest of her brother provides, paradoxically, some liberatory potential for La Malinche’s iconography, namely through a recuperation of the goddess Malinakochitl, also known as Malintzin. Thejuxtaposition of the two Malintzins exposes indigenous and Spanish colonial historiographies that belie the patriarchal, sexist, and in the latter case, racist constructions of the proto nation.
Representing the City:
Authors: Gámez José Luis
Published: January 2024

Recently, scholars in both Europe and Latin Amenca have begun to look to the Chicana/Chicano experience a s a means of understanding processes of differentiation. This is due, in part, to the role that creative practices play in the representation of Chicano/a identity. This paper explores three areas of Chicano/a cultural production rooted in East L.A.: street muralism; the spatial narratives of Asco and Frank Romero; and the architectural investigations of James Rqas and of Margaret Crawford and ADOBELA. By revisiting the works of these authors, this paper illustrates how the politics of identity help to shape the contemporary city.
Social Exchange Practices among Mexican-Origin Women in Nogales, Arizona
Authors: O’leary Anna Ochoa
Published: January 2024

This paper summarizes quantitative and qualitative findings from a 1999 study of Mexican-origin households in Nogales, Arizona. It finds that women’s educational progress is facilitated by social support and, even more important, that a household’s investment in the education of its members is significantly raised with an increase in the education level of the female head of household. It argues that systematic efforts to build on existent cultural frameworks of social support will promote women’s educational progress and thus help improve educational opportunities for all people of Mexican origin.
Schizopolis
Authors: Fojas Camilla
Published: January 2024

The films Star Maps and El Norte reveal the real political, socioeconomic, and psychic costs of divided cities by bringing the simulated realities of mass media to their logical end, thereby sacrificing each character to the disorder of the city. In Star Maps, Carlos dreams of becoming the next major Latino star, but this dream is rendered delusional by the racist ideology of the corporate studio system. Moreover, his only shot at landing a role requires that he traffic in a fetishizing racial fantasy about Mexican men. The protagonists of El Norte aspire to the free upward mobility promised by the media-induced mythos of el norte, yet the reality they find is one of stark division and stasis: they live in the peripheral zones of the city and work in the iconic and cinematic Los Angeles. The borderizing psyche of the United States is as relentless as it is enduring: there is no fantasy, no dream, no image beyond its colonizing reach. The border is part of an “American” lived experience, but it is also part of a wide range of fantasies and ideas about U.S. national identity that destroy and divide psyches.
Mexican Americans and the American Nation
Authors: Telles Edward
Published: January 2024

This essay is based on a talk I delivered at Texas A&M University on December 10, 2005, in response to an earlier lecture at the university by Professor Samuel P. Huntington. It relies on social science evidence to first address Huntington’s contention that Mexicans are overwhelming American borders. It then turns to evidence that Mexican Americans are in fact assimilating culturally but still have been less economically successful than the descendants of earlier European immigrants. The essay examines factors that have differentiated the Mexican American trajectory of incorporation and are likely to continue to do so. Finally, it calls for the American public and policy makers to make well-informed choices about what levels of immigration are desirable and who should be admitted, to improve immigrants’ economic opportunities through education, and to embrace a multilingual and multiethnic future for the country.
“El destierro de los Chinos”
Authors: Romero Robert Chao
Published: January 2024

This essay examines Chinese-Mexican interracial marriage during the early twentieth century through the lens of Mexican popular culture. Comedy, poetry, cartoons, and musical recordings of the time portrayed these marriages as relationships of abuse, slavery, and neglect, and rejected the offspring of such unions as subhuman and unworthy of full inclusion in the Mexican national community. Marriage with prosperous Chinese merchants was scornfully depicted as a shortcut by which slothful Mexican women secured lives of material comfort without working. Such popular criticism was often couched within larger discourses of revolutionary economic nationalism. In examining the historical phenomenon of Chinese-Mexican intermarriage, this essay destabilizes prevalent notions of mestizaje within the discipline of Chicana/o studies and challenges the white-brown binary of traditional Chicano racial theory. It calls for further research on the important contributions of Chinese, Japanese, African, Middle Eastern, and other overlooked immigrant ethnic groups to the Mexican and Chicano cultural melting pot.
Gender, Order, and Femicide
Authors: Volk Steven S. , Schlotterbeck Marian E.
Published: January 2024

More than 400 women have been murdered in and around Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, over the past decade. As the murders continue unabated and unsolved, and with the likely complicity of state authorities, they have triggered a dynamic cultural response from writers, filmmakers, singers, and others who deplore the murders while suggesting the underlying causes of the femicides. Our articleexamines three of these responses: the photojournalism of Julián Cardona, a novel by Carlos Fuentes, and a song by Los Tigres del Norte. We conclude that even as these artists express a profoundsympathy for the victims’ plight, their representations, which are based on patriarchal binaries of male dominance and female submissiveness, act to revictimize the women. Since for these culturalproducers, it was women’s active incorporation into the wage labor force as assembly plant workers that generated Juárez’s “disorder,” then it follows that “order” will only be restored when female passivity is reasserted. We also explore how the workof feminist critics, specifically Alicia Gaspar de Alba, challenges this approach by highlighting female/subaltern resistance, addressing the victims’ basic rights, and raising vital questions aboutgender identity on a highly militarized border.
Dos hermanas chicanas
Authors: Próspero Moisés
Published: January 2024

Women and ethnic minorities face steep barriers to professional advancement, and those who rise to the executive level typically use a variety of strategies to overcome obstacles in their way. This study first reviewed the literature on barriers to professional advancement for women and ethnic minorities and the strategies that they report using to overcome them. The author then conductedinterviews with two Latina executive managers who are sisters to explore their rise in the professional world. The barriers and strategies reported by “las dos hermanas chicanas” provide guidance for women and ethnic minorities who seek to reach upper management positions and for all whowould bring about systemic change to increase diversity in the workplace.
Prosthesis, Surrogation, and Relation in Arturo Islas’s The Rain God
Authors: Cutler John Alba
Published: January 2024

This essay seeks to intervene in critical discussions about Arturo Islas’s 1984 novel The Rain God, as well as to suggest the potential for synthesizing discourses heretofore deployed in disparate conversations about disability, sexuality, and ethnicity. I first demonstrate how the novel’s queer characters, Miguel Chico and Felix, pose critical questions about the nature of bodies in relation. These questions are relevant not only to the novel but also to Islas’s lived experience and our own relationship to him as readers and critics. Second, I trace a short history of Islas criticism, paying special attention to the way the author’s body becomes imbricated with that of his protagonist, suggesting a problematic politics of surrogation. My purpose in tracing this critical history is to indicate how Islas’s place in Chicano literary history relates to the shifting contours of Chicano ethnicity. Finally, I return to the novel to offer an alternative reading that can help us appreciate more fully how it envisions bodies coming into relation with one another—a familial love that allows for recognition of difference as something other than abnormality.
Oñate’s Foot
Authors: Trujillo Michael L.
Published: January 2024

This essay analyzes the historical construction of “Spanish” icons in northern New Mexico and the complex Hispanic and Chicano identities they both evoke and mask. It focuses on the January 1998 vandalism of a statue depicting New Mexico’s first Spanish colonial governor, Don Juan de Oñate. The removal of the Oñate statue’s foot references a brutal colonial encounter in 1599, when Oñate ordered the amputation of one foot each from Pueblo men in the rebellious Native American village of Acoma. In this case study, national and regional narratives as well as self-consciously oppositional narratives collude, conflict, and supplement one another. I conclude that the vandalized statue offers a dynamic and “open” icon that powerfully represents the contradictions of New Mexican Chicana/o identity, shedding light on the complex and contradictory identities of all Mexican-origin peoples in the United States.
¡Ya Basta!
Authors: Ojeda Raúl Hinojosa
Published: January 2024

This essay seeks to systematically dismantle Trump’s narrative on trade with and migration from Mexico and explain how his racialized policy approach distorts ethno-demographic complementarities and cross-border interdependencies between the United States and Mesoamerica. The origin of the Trump narrative in white supremacy discourses is contrasted with the evolution of the Chicanx studies paradigm, which is uniquely positioned to dismantle this narrative and reconstruct a counternarrative in the post-Trump era. The “Trump Paradox” is uncovered through a geographic analysis of Trump voting and anti-trade and anti-immigrant attitudes, which are shown to be negatively correlated with actual local exposure to Mexican trade and immigration. The California Chicanx experience of Proposition 187 provides lessons for a post-Trump unraveling of the Trump Paradox. A Chicanx “praxis of decolonization” can excavate the root causes of racialized inequalities within and between the United States and Mesoamerica and reconstruct an inclusive future of more equitable and sustainable transnational approaches to trade, migration, and remittance restructuring.
Policing Punk and the Surveilling of Difference
Authors: Ríos-Hernández Marlén
Published: January 2024

In 1979, a punk rock benefit concert at a former Elks Lodge in Los Angeles ended with dozens of arrests and injuries at the hands of police. This essay situates the Elks Lodge police riot within the punk rock and sex industry subcultures of Hollywood in the 1970s and 1980s and police surveillance of these spaces. The concert was the first and perhaps largest event in which LA Chicana/o punk youths participated in a scene that they created with other queer and trans people and people ofcolor. Yet narratives of the riot tend to be situated within punk studies and focus on white bodies being victimized by the LAPD. I argue that the event should be viewed in the context of the aftermath of the FBI’s COINTELPRO and of continuous policing and surveillance in Southern California. I emphasize the potential and portability of Chicana feminist research methods, specifically a trans-disciplinary method I call “intellectual dumpster diving,” which makes use of obsolete or unlikely ephemera to fashion intellectual archives. By combining the punk praxis of zine art with the Chicana artistic praxis of domesticana, I bring together art, ethnography, and prose to reconstruct an interdisciplinary, intersectional archive of the Elks Lodge police riot.
Home in Vida and Gentefied
Authors: Jimenez Carlos , Huante Alfredo
Published: January 2024

The process of gente-fication, or Latinx-led urban revitalization in workingclass barrios, has recently gained widespread attention and is at the heart of the popular US television series Vida (2018–20) and Gentefied (2020–22). Both programs serve as windows into contemporary Latinx struggles over belonging, “home,” and identity against the backdrop of multicultural neoliberalism and multicultural whiteness in the United States. We examine how change in the fictional Latinx neighborhoods in Vida and Gentefied highlights the precarity of home for Latinxs in the United States, even as Latinx representation has achieved new heights across social life. Vida and Gentefied specifically depict home as threatened by processes of gentrification and gente-fication. Even though the home is in distress, it continues to offer Latinx protagonists safety, love, and belonging through a heterogeneous network of individuals, experiences, and memories. In their attempt to stabilize home, Latinx protagonists find autonomy and a home that heals, but in contrasting the popular conceptualization of gente-fication as a gentler, more culturally sensitive form of gentrification emphasizing racial and economic uplift for barrio residents, we argue that Vida and Gentefied utilize gente-fication as a narrative tool that rests Latinx belonging on tenets of assimilation.
Development of sodium-ion conducting biopolymer electrolyte membrane based on Agar-Agar with sodium perchlorate (NaClO4) using ethylene carbonate (EC) as a plasticizer for primary Na-ion battery

The current study investigates the sodium ion conductivity of ethylene carbonate (EC) integrated biopolymer membranes made of agar-agar and sodium perchlorate in various concentrations. The facile solution cast approach is employed to fabricate the biopolymer membranes. The prepared biopolymer membranes are characterized by XRD, FTIR, DSC, AC Impedance, TGA, CV, and LSV techniques. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) studies the degree of crystalline/amorphous nature of the membranes. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirms the complexation between salt and polymer. Adding sodium salt and incorporating a plasticizer improves the ionic conductivity of pure agar-agar from 3.12 × 10-7 S cm-1 to 3.15 × 10-3 S cm-1 . Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies the glass transition temperature (Tg) trend with salt concentration. The highest conducting biopolymer membrane exhibits a very low Tg value of 22.05°C. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) examines the thermal stability of the membranes. Wagner's DC polarization technique evaluates the transference number for the prepared membrane. The electrochemical and cycling stability of the highest conducting membrane was studied by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV), respectively. The findings promote the development of a primary sodium ion conducting battery with the highestperforming biopolymer membrane. The battery's performance has been studied with two different cathode materials (V2O5 and MnO2) and the highest remarkable open circuit voltage (OCV) of 3.13 V was achieved when V2O5 was used as a cathode.

High performance and safe light-emitting devices (LEDs) are needed. Highly efficient IIIV nitride semiconductors are known for short-wavelength LEDs. Multiple-quantum well (MQW) are considered in LEDs. Influence of MQW and indium concentration on LED performance are studied here in GaN(n)/InxGa1-xN(i)/GaN(i)/AlGaN(p)/GaN(p) LEDs, where GaN(n) and GaN(p) have different dopants to formulate junctions, InxGa1-xN(i) is a 3 nm-thick intrinsic QW, GaN(i) is barrier intrinsic layer and AlGaN(p) is a 15 nm-thick electron blocking layer (EBL). Simulation is performed by Tcad-Silvaco. Current versus voltage (I-V) plots, luminosity power, band diagram, spectrum response, radiative recombination rate and electric field effect, are investigated to rationalize effects of InxGa1- xN(i) QW number and x. Increasing (x) improves radiative recombination rate, spectral power and band gap at less current. Devices with 6 quantum wells and x= 0.16 or 0.18 exhibit best performance. Minimizing x at 0.16, at high performance, is described.
