Analysis of satisfaction, resilience and SPS in a group of grandparents who interact with their grandchildren during COVID-19
Authors: Castañeda-García Pedro Javier , Chinea-Cabrera María José , Cruz-Santana Vanesa
Published: October 2024

Background: COVID-19 is affecting family relationships between grandparents and grandchildren. The aim of this study was to analyze the changes in this interaction, satisfaction and its relationship with two factors of strength/vulnerability of the grandparents during the pandemic. Method: Interviews were conducted with 79 grandparents aged 57 to 89 (M = 71.13; SD = 8.00) on resilience (CD-RISC) and sensory processing sensitivity (SPS). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential tests. Results: All activities, especially play (33%), were reduced during the pandemic, and satisfaction was medium to high and varied by activity type as well as by grandparents’ age, health status, and proximity of residence to their grandchildren. Resilience was high (76,4%) and related to greater satisfaction and a medium to high educational level. Of the participants, 62% were found to be medium level in SPS, with greater satisfaction measured in cultural transmission activities and in those living further from their grandchildren. Conclusions: During the second year of the pandemic, while shared activities decreased somewhat, the variables of satisfaction and strength of grandparents such as resilience and SPS showed medium-high levels, interacting with each other and with their sociodemographic variables. Their better knowledge could optimize this intergenerational relationship.

Published: October 2024

Este estudio exploratorio analiza la prevalencia de victimización electrónica durante el COVID-19, evaluando los posibles factores de riesgo, en 163 participantes de 14 a 17 años residentes en España. Se utilizó una adaptación del Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire (Finkelhor, Ormrod, et al., 2005), administrada mediante una encuesta online. La prevalencia de ciberacoso fue del 1,9%, mientras que la del acoso sexual online fue del 20%. Más de la mitad de las experiencias de victimización electrónica durante la pandemia (54,3%) ya ocurrían anteriormente, aunque un 2,5% de los adolescentes experimentó acoso sexual online por primera vez durante la pandemia. El confinamiento y la desescalada no representaron un incremento de este tipo de experiencias. Tampoco se encontró relación entre los factores de riesgo del entorno familiar y la victimización electrónica. Es necesaria la educación a adolescentes, familiares y sociedad en general, acerca del buen uso de las tecnologías y los riesgos asociados a éstas.
Lessons in Resistance, Activism, and Solidarity: Incarcerated Women and the California Coalition for Women Prisoners
Authors: Ferguson Tamanika
Published: October 2024

Abstract: In 2000, Charisse Shumate, a co-founding member of the California Coalition for Women Prisoners (CCWP) and other incarcerated women in California gathered at a senate hearing to give testimony on medical and living conditions in prison. Incarcerated women's narratives demonstrate the key role that their critical agency played in their advocacy for a humane prison system. The narratives also illustrate women's resolve to use their voices to speak up. Women's experiences of incarceration have long been silenced and this was part of the collective experience shared at the senate hearing. The collaborative work to document the hearings as well as women's prison experiences and activism reflects an important response to women's invisibility in dominant discourses of prisons and imprisonment and the marginalization that incarcerated women experience in the broader anti-carceral movement. The California Coalition for Women Prisoners, a coalition-building organization founded by women on both sides of the razor wire, is an abolitionist feminist organization founded in San Francisco, California in 1995. CCWP practices a specific brand of activism that prioritizes and supports the voices, leadership, and creativity of women and transgender people incarcerated in women's prisons.

Published: October 2024

We demonstrate the proof-of-principle experiment on all-optical quasi-phase matching (QPM) of high-order harmonic generation (HHG) via the transverse selective-zoning method. The dephasing length and the out-of-phase region in the interacting medium are identified in advance by applying a tomographic diagnosis of the generation process. Then a transverse disruptive pulse is employed to suppress the harmonic emission in the out-of-phase region to achieve QPM. The final output is enhanced by 35% with just one QPM zone. This proof-of-principle result provides the feasibility of ion-based HHG for higher cut-off energies, where phase matching is difficult to achieve.
Highly accurate absolute optical transfer delay measurement over a long distance assisted by the pulse time signal

Published: October 2024

In this paper, an absolute optical transfer delay measurement method based on pulse time signal, pseudo-random code phase, and microwave phase is proposed. By employing two-stage integer ambiguity resolution, not only can a measurement range of several hundred kilometers be achieved, but sub-picosecond level measurement accuracy can also be attained. A test system was built in the laboratory and experimentally verified on a fiber optic link. The experimental results verify an accuracy of ±0.1 ps in measuring an ultrahigh-accuracy optical delay line. In addition, long fiber is also tested, which proves that a measurement range of at least 100 km can be achieved. The refresh rate of the measurement results can reach 100 ms each time.
Unlocking multidimensional optical multicasting based on multi-mode PIN silicon waveguides
Authors: Fan Zhuang , Yang Zihao , Dong Jianji , Dong Wenchan , Xu Jing , Zhang Xinliang
Published: October 2024

Multidimensional optical multicasting can increase the number of multicast optical channels and enhance spectrum utilization, which is crucial for future high-capacity optical networks and high-performance optical computing. However, simultaneously multicasting more channels results in higher energy density, which increases nonlinear loss within the waveguide and hinders practical applications. In this study, we introduce a reverse-biased PIN junction in the multi-mode waveguide to reduce nonlinear loss. Leveraging the multi-mode PIN silicon waveguide, we experimentally demonstrate a multidimensional multicasting strategy to simultaneously multicast an 80 Gb/s QPSK signal across 14 channels in both modes and wavelengths. Due to the PIN waveguide, the output power of the converted light after four-wave mixing (FWM) in three modes, TE0, TE1, and TE2, can be increased by 13 dB, 11.7 dB, and 7.7 dB, respectively. Furthermore, the 80 Gb/s QPSK signal can be multicast in three modes and from one wavelength channel to nine, seven, and two wavelength channels, respectively. All channels demonstrate clear constellation diagrams and error-free performance (biterrorrate<3.8×10−3). This demonstration provides a viable solution for multicasting in future mode and wavelength hybrid multiplexing optical networks, while also enhancing the capabilities of high-speed optical computing.
New approach for accurate discrimination and location of power transformers with different internal winding faults
Authors: Youssef Mohammed , Abdelaziz El-Said , Saad Hassan , Attia Mohammed
Published: October 2024

Power transformers are essential elements in power systems and thus their protection schemes have critical importance. In this paper, a scheme is proposed for accurate discrimination and location of internal faults in power transformers using conventional measuring devices attached to the transformer. Different types of internal winding faults are intensely considered: partial discharge, inter-disk faults, series and shunt short circuit faults and axial displacement. Depending on the transformer measured output voltage, input voltage and the input current, the construction of a locus diagram (ΔV-Iin) serves as an indicator for any physical modification to the winding. Using five suggested features extracted from the developed locus, an artificial neural network (ANN) technique is applied to accurately distinguish any deviation from the transformer healthy condition. The exact location of each fault inside the windings of power transformer is then determined. The obtained results validate the usefulness of the proposed scheme for different internal faults. The superiority of the proposed scheme is extensively examined by comparing its results with some published schemes.
Machine learning-aided microRNA discovery for olive oil quality
Authors: Pakdel Mohammad Hossein , Asadi Ali Akbar , Tavakol Elahe , Shariati Vahid , Hosseini Mazinani Mehdi
Published: October 2024

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators of gene expression in plants, influencing various biological processes such as oil quality and seed development. Although, our knowledge about miRNAs in olive (Olea europaea L.) is progressing, with several miRNAs being identified in previous studies, but most of these reported miRNAs have been predicted without the aid of a reference genome, primarily due to limited genome accessibility at the time. However, significant knowledge gaps still need to be improved in this area. This study addresses the complexities of miRNA detection in olive, using a high quality reference genome and a combination of genomics and machine learning-based methods. By leveraging random forest and support vector machine algorithms, we successfully identified 56 novel miRNAs in olive, surpassing the limitations of conventional homology-based methods. Our subsequent analysis revealed that some of these miRNAs are implicated in the regulation of key genes involved in oil quality. Within the context of oil biosynthesis pathways, the novel miRNA Oeu124369 regulates fatty acid biosynthesis by targeting acetyl-CoA acyltransferase 1 and palmitoyl-protein thioesterase, thereby influencing the production of acetyl-CoA and palmitic acid, respectively. These findings underscore the power of machine learning in unraveling the complex miRNA regulatory network in olive and provide a high quality miRNA resource for future research aimed at improving olive oil production by exploring the target genes of the identified miRNAs to understand their role and their biological processes.
Learning the ropes or walking a tight one? Exploring the factors of organizational assimilation in design firms
Authors: Huber Amy , Robinson Kelley
Published: October 2024

New employees often question their roles, expectations and fit within the workplace. Reducing these uncertainties is accomplished via a complex process of organizational assimilation (OA), which varies based on the individual, their workplace and environmental shifts. Evidence suggests the effects of organizational change may be especially pronounced in marginalized employees, not only among those from underrepresented groups but also from those lacking established professional networks (i.e. entry-level workers and organizational newcomers). While scholars in other fields have cited the importance of OA, little is known about its determinants in design. Understanding these factors is critical as the field seeks to diversify while facing changing norms. This study employed the Organizational Assimilation Index and Ragins and McFarlin’s Mentor Role Instrument to understand OA determinants. Responses from 92 emerging designers suggest that firm size, market sector and tenure bore little influence on OA. Yet those from underrepresented groups felt significantly less assimilated. Conversely, a mentor’s friendship, coaching and counselling can enhance assimilation. This study’s exploratory findings offer preliminary but important insights regarding those factors that may influence the assimilation of emerging designers. More specifically, it highlights the valuable role of mentorship while lending empirical evidence to potential challenges facing designers from underrepresented groups.
Embracing intersectional feminist thinking in design processes
Authors: Chopra Maya , Del Gaudio Chiara
Published: October 2024

Intersectional feminist thinking has the potential to promote an understanding of the dynamics of oppression in design and foster ways to minimize them. The study presented in this article explores how it has been embraced in the design field so far. A literature review process and an analysis of three cases characterize the study presented in this article. The research shows that although emerging, research on embracing intersectional thinking in design is relatively scarce. The literature review enabled the identification of three design approaches that officially state the adoption of an intersectional lens. These approaches were analysed against two core principles of intersectionality – pluralism and contextualization. Their description and analysis are reported here to exemplify how intersectional thinking has been implemented into design processes and to highlight existing strengths, challenges and opportunities. The article offers some reflections on future directions for intersectional design approaches to engage more closely with intersectionality.
Surgaal and the lineage of Mongolian didactic hip hop
Authors: Szczap Pola
Published: October 2024

Didactic content remains among the most important elements of both the oral and written literature of the Mongolian nomads. When hip hop arrived in Mongolia in the 1990s, the culture’s local trailblazers were fast to recognize the study and exchange of knowledge as practices pivotal to the culture’s development. Throughout the years, Mongolian hip hop heads have actively engaged with the fifth element, successfully blending global hip hop knowledge with local didactic traditions. This allowed for aggregating and sharing knowledge in unique ways, ones combining street smartness and nomadic philosophy. Developing such a localized approach moved rap lyrics closer to traditional socio-ethical commentaries dubbed surgaal (Mong. ‘teaching’). The present article highlights the place of hip hop knowledge transfer practices among the larger lineage of Mongolian didactic literature and presents ways in which local hip hop heads engage in ‘spitting knowledge’.
Le hip hop à l’école: Practising the ‘fifth element’ as a pedagogical tool in French schools
Authors: Souyri Emilie
Published: October 2024

There has been very little dialogue between hip hop pedagogy research in English-speaking countries and in France so far. Through an analysis of fourteen teachers and hip hop educators, I provide a preliminary exploration of the current status of hip hop education in France. I suggest that even though French hip hop pedagogues are not familiar with critical pedagogy or culturally relevant pedagogy, they do share key questions, themes and practices with their counterparts described in the existing anglophone literature. French artists and teachers participating in this study display a strong sense of how its aesthetics can nourish ‘knowledge of self’ in a way that the founders of the hip hop movement might be inclined to embrace. They also all insist on building a locally anchored community of learners to foster knowledge transmission and underline the decolonial dimension of the hip hop knowledge they teach. These views on how hip hop can and should be used to transmit knowledge contribute to define the critical core of hip hop pedagogy and lead us to consider roadmaps to develop the praxis dimension of hip hop pedagogy that seems to have previously been neglected by French hip hop pedagogues.
The incorporation of Hip Hop dance in English language education in Japanese universities
Authors: Tan Beng Hwee
Published: October 2024

This article explores the possibility of incorporating Hip Hop dance and culture into English language education in Japan. Japan’s unique context, where Hip Hop dance is immensely popular but knowledge of its history and culture is lacking, provides a unique opportunity for research on Hip Hop dance and education. Data were collected from four key groups of participants to obtain perspectives and suggestions for a Hip Hop-based English language course for undergraduate students. With the growing popularity of Hip Hop dance and culture in Japan, dance can be utilized in Japanese universities as a valuable pedagogical tool and contribute to the development of innovative and effective practices of teaching and learning. The results of the study indicate that attitudes towards Hip Hop dance and culture in English language education were largely positive, and participants shared extensive suggestions for potential courses in the future. Participants also highlighted key benefits, as well as important challenges that need to be overcome in advancing Hip Hop-based English language education. This study shows that a content-based English language course on Hip Hop history and culture would be ideal for expanding understanding of Hip Hop in Japan.
‘At the table I sit, making it legit’: Legitimate knowledge, and the legitimacy of knowledge in a hip hop classroom in India
Authors: Cardozo Elloit , Dafre Akshara , Singh Tanmay
Published: October 2024

Hip hop’s entrance into academic spaces is inextricably linked to the questions: what is legitimate knowledge, and how is legitimacy attributed? These questions stem from a concern about the exclusionary structures in academia that prioritize privileged positions of institutional power over the lived experiences of artists and practitioners: who warrants a seat at the metaphorical head table? We explore such questions of legitimate knowledge by considering the case of India’s first university-accredited course on hip hop, the certificate in ‘Introduction to Hip-Hop Studies’. Aimed at providing students with a sociocultural and historical understanding of hip hop, most of the 60-hour course is taught by homegrown artists who have been pivotal for the culture’s growth in India. In this article, we reflect on our experiences as researchers and knowledge producers as part of the inaugural batch of this course, in the summer of 2021. Through autoethnographic readings, we address the following questions: what constitutes legitimate knowledge, and how is this legitimacy determined? We pivot these questions on (sub)/cultural capital, woman-produced knowledge and emic and etic stances towards knowledge. Reflecting on our personal identities, we re-evaluate conceptions of legitimate knowledge created at the intersection of our roles as students of the course, and as researchers and academics. Problematizing our positions as knowledge producers, and latent extensions of hip hop’s fifth element, we dissect notions of legitimate knowledge, as well as the varying axes across which they are produced and legitimized, such as street cred, gender and membership in the Global Hip Hop Nation.
‘Know the ropes, learn the ropes’: Hip hop, knowledge and Wang Yitai
Authors: Bienvenu Grégoire
Published: October 2024

王以太 Wang Yitai is a 29-year-old Chinese rapper from the city of Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan, located in the western region of China. From his self-released debut mixtape Ready to Flow (2015), recorded while he was studying in the United States, to his latest albums 演.说.家 (‘Perform, Speak, Family’) (2019) and 幸存者的负罪感 (‘Survivor’s Guilt’ – feat AIR) (2021), Wang Yitai quickly rose to success to become one of the most famous and appreciated rappers nationwide. Anchoring his practice in one of the most eminent cities for rap in China, he actively integrated the historical landscape of the local rap crew, 成都说唱会馆 (CDC Rap House), and developed his own poetic music style featuring very local, cultural elements. Eventually, he reached national fame after participating in the second season of the hit show The Rap of China (2018). Discussing the role of knowledge in hip hop with Wang Yitai means thus questioning knowledge of the culture and American hip hop and its histories. However, such conversations necessarily double up with reflections on the knowledge of the self, which implies in our case how practising rap music is being translated in a Chinese context.
Un estudio pragmático del conflicto político mexicano-cubano (2004) en la prensa
Authors: Fonte Zarabozo Irene
Published: October 2024

El presente artículo trata el conflicto entre México y Cuba en mayo de 2004, según se dio a conocer en los periódicos mexicanos El Universal y La Jornada. Las relaciones entre los dos gobiernos se habían tornado críticas a partir de la asunción al gobierno mexicano del conservador Partido Acción Nacional en 2000. Esta crisis tuvo una amplia dimensión mediática. Los medios fueron, en gran parte, el canal por el que los gobiernos se comunicaron, cuando abandonaron los cauces regulares de la comunicación político-diplomática, de modo que el espacio mediático se convirtió en escenario del conflicto. Mi aproximación al discurso de la prensa es principalmente de carácter enunciativo; toma en cuenta la escena enunciativa desplegada por los periódicos en el tratamiento del discurso de los múltiples actores políticos involucrados en este acontecimiento. Describo las estrategias discursivas de los participantes según fueron representadas por los periódicos. El objetivo general del artículo es contribuir a la comprensión de un conflicto político en la prensa que representó un momento crucial de las relaciones entre México y Cuba.
Discriminación a través de las ilustraciones de libros de texto de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria en España
Authors: Morales Oscar Alberto , Lischinsky Alon
Published: October 2024

Este trabajo propone un análisis sociosemiótico del racismo discursivo, tal como se presenta en textos complejos que combinan lo visual y lo verbal. A partir de un corpus de 250 imágenes obtenido de diez libros de texto de ciencias sociales de nivel medio publicados en España entre 1995 y 2004, explora cómo la ideología dominante produce representaciones diferenciadas de un endogrupo y un exogrupo en los subsistemas visual y lingüístico. Asimismo, examina cómo dentro de las constricciones de elevado control del género discursivo —sometido a procedimientos de evaluación por distintas instancias gubernamentales desde el inicio de su producción hasta su utilización en el salón de clases— los valores, estereotipos, ideologías y significados que no pueden expresarse de manera verbal se comunican visualmente. Se halló que las imágenes representan positivamente al endogrupo y negativamente al exogrupo. Para crear una dicotomía, seleccionan situaciones específicas como rasgos distintivos, característicos de cada grupo. Se concluye que la selección de las imágenes no es neutra ni arbitraria, sino que intenta reproducir el sistema de desigualdades, caracterizado por la discriminación, el racismo y la xenofobia.
El análisis crítico del discurso y la mercantilización del discurso público: las universidades
Authors: Fairclough Norman , Ghio Elsa
Published: October 2024

El objetivo de este artículo es plantear mi propia perspectiva del análisis del discurso y, en segundo lugar, ejemplificar la práctica del análisis crítico del discurso (ACD) mediante una discusión en torno al mercado del discurso público en Gran Bretaña. La primera parte de este artículo, ‘Hacia una teoría social del discurso’, es una reseña concisa del marco teórico del ACD. La segunda parte, ‘Marco analítico’, establece un marco tridimensional para el análisis de los eventos discursivos. Los lectores que lo deseen hallarán una exposición más detallada sobre este campo de investigación en Fairclough (1989, 1992a). La tercera sección representa una transición entre la explicación algo abstracta de las dos primeras partes y el ejemplo que las ilustra: se trata de una reflexión acerca del lenguaje y las prácticas discursivas en la sociedad contemporánea (el ‘capitalismo tardío’), la cual pretende ofrecer un enfoque social, histórico y crítico del lenguaje y el discurso, y, además, presentar un imperativo moral y social. La cuarta parte es un análisis textual del mercado de las prácticas discursivas como un proceso que ha transformado profundamente el discurso público en la Bretaña contemporánea, referido particularmente a la educación superior universitaria. El artículo concluye con una discusión en torno al valor del Análisis Crítico del Discurso como método apto para las investigaciones científicas sobre el cambio social y cultural, y como un recurso en las luchas contra la explotación y la dominación.
Semántica del discurso e ideología
Authors: Van Dijk Teun A. , Perales Cristina
Published: October 2024

En este artículo se presenta una introducción, desde la perspectiva del análisis crítico del discurso, de una nueva teoría sobre ideología multidisciplinar y sus relaciones con el discurso. Las ideologías se definen como sistemas básicos de cognición social, como elementos organizadores de actitudes y de otros tipos de representaciones sociales compartidas por los miembros pertenecientes a un grupo. Las ideologías controlan, de manera indirecta, las representaciones mentales (modelos) que están en la base y que conforman el contexto introducido en el discurso y en sus estructuras. En este marco de trabajo, se examina cómo se expresan las estructuras semánticas del discurso (tema, focalización, estructura de las proposiciones, coherencia local, nivel de descripción, implicaciones y macroestructuras) a través de ideologías subyacentes, como las transmitidas en los artículos de opinión del New York Times y el Washington Post.
A Pobreza no Contexto Brasileiro Da Exclusão Econômica e Social à Ruptura Familiar
Authors: Silva Denize Elena Garcia da
Published: October 2024

O estudo discute em que medida a pobreza nas ruas e a ruptura familiar se entrecruzam e se enfraquecem mutuamente no declive da questão social. Para tanto, são examinadas manifestações de questão social sob a lupa da Análise de Discurso Crítica, proposta por Fairclough (2003), associada aos fundamentos da teoria das representações sociais (Moscovici, 2003). O enfoque da análise textual na dimensão crítica é, aqui, balizado pela Lingüística Sistêmico Funcional, sobretudo pela proposta de Halliday e Matthiessen (2004) no que concerne à relação entre os processos de transitividade da linguagem e outros elementos e aspectos da vida social. Os resultados apontam para uma realidade que tem sua fonte geradora na sociedade atual, a qual caminha na esteira das representações sociais, calçando as sandálias da cristalização de valores, atadas pelas tiras das desigualdades econômicas e, sobretudo, sociais.
La representación de lo mensurable sobre la pobreza en la prensa colombiana
Authors: Pardo Abril Neyla Graciela
Published: October 2024

Este documento se basa en los desarrollos alcanzados en relación con el estudio de las representaciones de la pobreza en la prensa colombiana. Se explora el recurso lingüístico de la cuantificación, y la manera como su uso orienta la constitución de significados sobre la pobreza. La hipótesis principal de este trabajo apunta a la afirmación de que el discurso económico que se fundamenta en la cuantificación, es reproducido de forma segmentada y descontextualizada por la prensa. Así, se crea un sentido de validez sustentado en la fiabilidad conferida históricamente, desde la modernidad, y con el auge de la investigación científica, a todo aquello que es susceptible se ser medido o cuantificado. De este modo la conceptualización del fenómeno de la pobreza se fragmenta, se minimiza, se descontextualiza, y además oculta las particularidades de los sujetos implicados en esta problemática social. Se decantan las características y modos de construcción de estos significados, a través de distintos tipos de cuantificadores, y se identifican las estrategias socio-discursivas implicadas: tematización, focalización, elisión, generalización y minimización, entre otras. Estas estrategias activan cogniciones sociales, que pueden proponerse orientar, controlar, y regular la acción social. El corpus analizado comprende dos medios impresos bogotanos de circulación nacional (El Tiempo y El Espectador), del que se tomaron las noticias entre 1991 y 2006, que tienen en el antetitular, titular. o resumen las palabras pobres, pobreza, indigencia, indigentes, o aquellas expresiones cuyo significado incluye las unidades léxicas mencionadas.
“Não é falta de humanidade, é para dificultar a permanência deles perto de nosso prédio”. Análise discursiva crítica de uma circular de condomínio acerca de “moradores de rua” em Brasília, Brasil
Authors: Resende Viviane de Melo
Published: October 2024

Neste trabalho, analiso uma circular endereçada aos/às condôminos/as de um prédio de classe média da Asa Sul de Brasília, Distrito Federal, Brasil, cujo tema é uma reunião realizada entre o síndico do prédio, comerciantes locais e autoridades do Governo do Distrito Federal, acerca de um grupo de “moradores de rua”. A análise mostra que o texto opera, por um lado, uma dissimulação do problema da situação de rua e, por outro, o expurgo de pessoas nessas condições, por meio da legitimação da apartação na sociedade brasiliense. Meu objetivo com essa análise é discutir a naturalização da miséria em sociedades contemporâneas a partir da internalização de discursos hegemônicos os quais operam um apagamento de direitos sociais básicos. Argumento que isso se dá em decorrência da repetibilidade desses discursos em diferentes ambientes institucionais e em variados tipos de texto.
O discurso citado na construção do efeito de sentido de identidade em agentes de segurança penitenciária
Authors: Harkot-de-La-Taille Elizabeth
Published: October 2024

Sete entrevistas com agentes de segurança penitenciária, acerca de seu cotidiano, na função de disciplinadores, em uma mesma Penitenciária do estado de São Paulo, constituem o corpus de análise das formas de apoderação do discurso alheio, como estratégia discursiva participante da construção do efeito de sentido de identidade do sujeito coletivo “agente de segurança penitenciária”. Almeja-se mostrar que é possível estabelecerem-se relações entre a escolha de emprego de discurso direto, discurso indireto ou discurso indireto livre e certos percursos temáticos e figurativos constituintes de efeito de sentido de três instâncias identitárias: a) a imagem do agente como em posição de domínio e controle da situação, em consonância com o sistema penitenciário; b) a imagem do agente vulnerabilizado, vítima de doenças e associado à brutalidade e injustiças; e c) a imagem do agente abandonado pelo governo e sociedade, física e moralmente vulnerável, crítico em relação à função que desempenha, ao sistema penitenciário e à própria disciplina que defende, por seus atos, no cotidiano. As diferentes imagens projetadas remetem à construção de um efeito de sentido de identidade oscilante, móvel, em grande instabilidade, na penosa busca de conciliação de facetas irreconciliáveis.
Inmigrantes argentinos en España: Discurso identitario en foros de Internet
Authors: Del-Teso-Craviotto Marisol
Published: October 2024

En el presente artículo se investiga la construcción discursiva de la identidad usando como herramienta analítica el concepto de posicionamiento. Específicamente, se examinan las posiciones que toman los participantes en un foro de Internet para emigrantes argentinos en España respecto a categorías y grupos sociales. Los resultados muestran que a nivel global, los participantes construyen sus identidades en torno a la categoría de inmigrante y con relación a entidades nacionales (argentinos, españoles y otros grupos nacionales inmigrantes en España), mientras que los grupos identitarios más relevantes a nivel local son los de inmigrantes ‘con’ y ‘sin papeles’. Por último, a nivel interactivo, los participantes se posicionan como expertos o neófitos en el tema de la inmigración. A través de las distintas posiciones tomadas en los mensajes del foro, este grupo de argentinos crea una identidad inmigrante entorno al eje discursivo victimismo-agentividad que, si bien muestra conexiones con las descripciones de los inmigrantes de muchos de los discursos públicos controlados por las diversas élites políticas, sociales y culturales de España, también es cierto que se aleja tanto de sus tintes paternalistas como de su frecuente tono acusatorio.
Overview of organic, vegan, and plant-based diets, family farming and healthy food consumption in Brazil: concrete attributes, instrumental values, and perceived psychological consequences of consumption
Authors: Bianchi Julia , Schneider Ivanete , Martins Anderson Antônio Mattos
Published: October 2024

This paper draws an overview of healthy food consumption, such as organic, vegetarian, and plant-based diets, from family farming and those related to food restrictions. Also, it proposes to explain how the concrete attributes, instrumental values, and perceived psychological consequences of consumption are associated as motivations for consuming these products. The Means-End Theory was used as the base theory for this research, which addresses those tangible attributes (means) that are connected to intangible consequences and personal values (ends). In the Marketing and Consumer Behavior field, the theory was introduced and postulated that there is a hierarchically organized relationship that connects product values, psychological consequences, and personal values, providing an understanding of the personal importance to the consumer at the time of purchase decision making. Survey research was conducted with Brazilians who are of legal age. A total of 1,085 valid questionnaires were obtained (44% were non-consumers of any of the products under analysis (n=478), and 56% were consumers (n=607) – who had their behavior analyzed in the study. The results support the hypotheses, being that: (1) the ease of purchase increases the frequency of consumption of healthy products; (2) The perception of concrete attributes increases the psychological consequences of healthy consumption; (3) the perception of instrumental values increases the perceived psychological consequences of healthy consumption; (4), and finally, it is possible to infer that the sample has a healthy food consumption behavior, but it is not a frequent behavior.

El tema de este trabajo surgió de la constatación de la necesidad de comprender qué importancia se le debe dar al combate de las desigualdades sociales para lograr una ciudad sostenible. La investigación se enmarca en la línea de investigación del PPCJ Derecho ambiental, transnacionalidad y sustentabilidad y el proyecto de investigación Aportes tecnológicos de las smartcities a la consolidación de ciudades sustentables. Los temas relacionados con la sustentabilidad, son vitales para que podamos continuar la vida en el planeta y en ese ámbito radica la importancia del tema que trata las ciudades sustentables. Esta sostenibilidad debe basarse en dimensiones sociales, ambientales y económicas. En este diapasón, el objetivo general fue analizar, desde la doctrina, el concepto de desigualdad social, cuál es su relación con la pobreza y cuál es su impacto en el logro de una ciudad sostenible. Extrayendo, al final, la consideración de la necesidad de combatir las desigualdades sociales para conseguir una ciudad efectivamente sostenible, he aquí que la sostenibilidad tiene como objetivo la consecución de los derechos sociales de los ciudadanos. En cuanto a la metodología se utilizó el método inductivo y se utilizaron técnicas de referente, categoría, conceptos operativos, investigación bibliográfica y archivo.
A SNI tanulókat érintő oktatási egyenlőtlenségek értelmezéseinek szakpolitikai, társadalmi és emberjogi dimenziói
Authors: Szabó Diána

Az oktatás hozzáférhetősége, minősége szorosan összefügg a társadalmi egyenlőtlenségeket fenntartó és reprodukáló mechanizmusok működésével (Fónai, 2020; Hüse és Ceglédi, 2018). A tanulmány célja, hogy 2015-től napjainkig feltárja a hazai oktatásban megjelenő egyenlőtlenségeket. A tanulmány egy összehasonlító elemzés keretében, társadalomtudományi megközelítésben mutatja be a sajátos nevelési igényű tanulókat (SNI) érintő hazai oktatási rendszerből fakadó egyenlőtlenségeket. Az összehasonlító elemzéskor nem csupán szakpolitikai dimenzió megvilágítására kerül sor – a jogszabályok és intézményi működés szabályait vizsgálva –, hanem a változó politikai és közpolitikai döntések hatásának várható társadalmi következményei és a formálódó szakmai célok mentén nyújt egy átfogó képet. Ahol lehetőség adódott, az egyes intézkedések végrehajtásáról, gyakorlati megvalósulásáról és azok következményeiről is pillanatképet mutat. Továbbá kitér a befogadó szemlélet társadalmi és emberjogi dimenzióira is. Az összehasonlító vizsgálatot hat dimenzió mentén, három fő kutatási kérdés köré csoportosítja. A tanulmány rámutat arra, hogy az elmúlt 20 évben jelentős fejlődés ment végbe az oktatás minőségügyében (Polónyi, 2023). A valódi intézkedések azonban nem tudták érdemben csökkenteni az oktatási rendszer szelektivitását (Ferge, 2016; Lőricz és Antal, 2022). Szükség van egy pedagógiai szemléletváltásra, amely tágabb keretben értelmezi a befogadó oktatást (Ducik és Perlusz, 2023): felismerve valamennyi tanuló jogát az egyéni tanulási környezetben, egyéni tanulási utak alkalmazásához.
An Explanation for Dark Energy from Whittaker Potential Theory
Authors: Titleman Mark
Published: October 2024

A recent article found that black holes with posited vacuum energy interior solutions alongside cosmological boundaries have a cosmological coupling constant of k=3, meaning that black holes gain mass proportional to a
3 in a parameterization equation within a Robertson Walker cosmology – thus making black holes a cosmological dark energy species (Farrah et al. 2023). The mechanism for this is unknown. Two papers by E. T. Whittaker in 1903 and 1904 showed that all force potential could be understood as resulting from standing waves (static non-local solution) and propagating waves (local solution changing in time). This unification of gravitational and electromagnetic potential has been neglected even though it opens up new mathematical avenues and physical features. The mass-proportionality and preferred direction of the longitudinal waves within the two underlying Whittaker potentials can explain many features of General Relativity (Titleman 2022). They also offer a simple Newtonian explanation for dark energy stemming from Whittaker potential theory – it is produced as longitudinal motion within the Whittaker potentials only when dynamic electromagnetism is separate from time-static gravity in intergalactic space.

Alterations in the gut microbiome have been implicated in various pathologies. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been offered as a novel treatment for conditions implicated in the disruption of the gut-microbiota axis. This case report details the successful treatment of recurrent nonobstructive cholangitis following a single FMT application in a patient who had previously undergone a hepatobiliary tract surgical diversion. Cholangitis was suspected secondary to reflux of an altered microbiome into the surgically reanastomosed biliary tract, and FMT was justified based on the history of recurrent Clostridioides difficile infections. This case supports the further evaluation of the utility of FMT as one potential treatment of post hepatobiliary surgical diversion cholangitis.

Syphilis, a disease affecting millions, still poses challenges for men who have sex with men in high-income countries and often presents in varying ways. It is exceedingly rare for syphilis to simultaneously cause an acute liver injury and nephropathy. This case describes the concomitant clinical presentation of these abnormalities and also describes a liver injury that mimicked cholestatic disease. Treatment of syphilis led to complete resolution of the liver and kidney injury. This case demonstrates a need to exclude syphilis in patients with high-risk behaviors who present with cholestatic liver injury in atypical fashions.
CROSS-CULTURAL ROMANCE: DIGITAL FICTION FORMULA IN LIBYA’S LA’NAT AL-‘ISHQ AND INDONESIA’S ABIGHEA
Authors: Nugraha Reza Sukma , Farhah Eva , Nurzanah Azka
Published: October 2024

The popularity of the digital literary platform Wattpad has been recognized globally, including in Indonesia and Libya. Among various studies on fiction published through Wattpad, this research focuses on a comparative analysis of romance formulas written by popular Wattpad authors from two countries: La'nat al-'Ishq by Hams Yosef in Libya and Abighea by Chelsea Karina Aelia in Indonesia. The main issue addressed in this study is whether romance stories in digital fiction from these countries share the same narrative formula despite the cultural differences between the authors and their readers. The comparison is conducted using John G. Cawelti’s theory of formulaic literature and a descriptive-analytical method. The findings indicate that the dominant formulas in both fictions are the idealization of the main characters, love triangles, and happy endings. This suggests that, although these works are set in different cultural and linguistic contexts, their romance formulas reflect universal desires and expectations of young readers concerning the romance genre.
