Eksplorasi Interaksi Publik, Sentimen, dan Diskursus Tema Reintegrasi Sosial di Platform YouTube
Authors: Muhammad Umaruddin
Published: December 2024

This study aims to analyze public engagement on social media, specifically YouTube, focusing on audience participation, sentiment distribution in comments, and key themes in public discourse related to videos discussing social reintegration. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis using Pearson correlation and qualitative analysis through sentiment analysis with RapidMiner and thematic analysis with Atlas.ti. The results indicate that although some channels attract high view counts, active engagement such as comments and likes is often disproportionate, influenced by content quality and topic relevance. Most comments analyzed were neutral, primarily addressing procedural information, while negative sentiments frequently criticized social reintegration policies. These findings highlight the need for more creative and interactive content strategies by leveraging Discursive Opportunity Structure (DOS) to enhance public engagement. In conclusion, social media holds significant potential as a tool for educating and advocating social reintegration policies, but it requires a more responsive and relevant approach to maximize public participation and discussion.

Authors: Guimarães Mota Hednan , Feiteiro Cavalari Mariana
Published: December 2024

A relevância da inclusão da História da Matemática (HM) no ensino de Matemática tem sido ressaltada por pesquisadores e pelos documentos oficiais que regem a Educação Básica brasileira. Nesse contexto, é importante que os professores sejam formados de modo que, se tiverem interesse, possam introduzir a HM em suas aulas. Portanto, é relevante que os futuros professores tenham acesso, em sua formação inicial, não somente à HM, mas, também, à temática referente à “HM para o ensino”, que abrange o conhecimento de potencialidades, limitações e desafios de lecionar utilizando a HM na Educação Básica, bem como formas de abordar a HM no ensino de Matemática. Considerando essa relevância, a presente investigação buscou identificar e analisar os conhecimentos mobilizados por licenciandos ao estudar tópicos referentes à temática da “HM para o ensino”. Para tanto, a coleta de dados foi realizada em uma disciplina que abordava essa temática e contou com a participação de oito licenciandos. As aulas da disciplina foram gravadas, transcritas e analisadas, assim como as atividades produzidas pelos estudantes. As análises foram conduzidas utilizando uma adaptação do modelo “Conhecimento Matemático para o ensino”, que considerou os domínios “Conhecimento do Conteúdo”, “Conhecimento Pedagógico do Conteúdo” (PCK) e “Conhecimento do Currículo”. Identificamos que, no estudo da temática “HM no ensino”, os licenciandos mobilizaram conhecimentos referentes a esses três domínios, sobretudo, ao PCK. Tal resultado evidencia que o estudo dessa temática pode trazer importantes contribuições para a formação de professores de Matemática.
Asymmetry indices of international position of countries: Geometric approach
Authors: Zagoruiko Ivan , Petkova Lesia
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the substantiation and testing of a new method for assessing the international position of countries. On the one hand, one of common methods of international comparative research is to construct a convex hull of the states of countries on the plane of certain indicators. Data Envelopment Analysis is the most well-known example of this approach. In particular, this method is used to build a world technology frontier. On the other hand, one of universal methods of initial indicators conversion is to normalise them. The method proposed in the article combines the construction of a convex hull on the plane of initial indicators with their min-max normalisation. The purpose of the study was to measure relative distances of countries to opposite sides of a certain hull of data. The problem is that at extremum points absolute distances to opposite sides of the original hull are equal to zero, and therefore relative distances cannot be determined. The authors solve this problem by constructing two secondary hulls of data, each of which allows determining of the asymmetry index by a certain coordinate. Opposite sides of the secondary hull are the midlines between the levels of opposite extrema and corresponding sides of the primary hull. A value that is reciprocal to the number of countries on the side of the primary hull, on which this extremum is located, is used as a weighting factor of the extremum. According to the proposed method, each country is characterised by a unique pair of asymmetry indices. This distinguishes it from the Data Envelopment Analysis method, according to which all countries on the boundary of efficiency are characterised by a unit distance. The proposed method has been tested on data for the countries of the European Union, Iceland and Switzerland for 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2020. The net international investment position (as a percentage of gross domestic product) and the difference between the stocks of immigrants and emigrants (as a percentage of the country’s population excluding migrants) have been chosen as initial indicators. During the testing, the existence of a positive correlation between certain distances of countries on the plane of indices has been confirmed. It has been found that the global financial crisis of 2008 led to a radical shift in the hull of countries’ states on this plane. Mapping of the international state of mean indices on the plane of initial indicators can be used in econometric models

Addicted to pixels: Is pornography linked to the global depopulation crisis?
Authors: Gronbach Kenneth W.
Published: December 2024

This opinion paper explores the urgent global issue of depopulation, emphasising its potential to reshape societies and economies. The paper argues that the majority of countries are already experiencing fertility rates below the replacement level, and the consequences of this trend will become severe in the coming decades. Through case studies of China and Japan, the paper demonstrates the economic and societal impacts of declining populations, such as shrinking workforces, consumers and aging populations. The paper posits that global depopulation is driven by the increasing prevalence of online pornography, which has altered human sexual behaviour and reduced procreation. While other explanations, such as financial concerns and societal anxiety, are often cited, the paper suggests that technology is providing an alternative to traditional mating, with significant repercussions for global economies. The paper concludes that depopulation should be taken seriously as a critical challenge for the future.
Inflationary realities: Lessons from Iran’s inflationary experience for the Western consumers
Authors: Habibi Mohammad
Published: December 2024

In response to the recessions of 2008 and 2020, governments and central banks injected massive amounts of liquidity into their respective economies. The subsequent monetary devaluation resulted in a number of developed nations experiencing their highest inflation levels for 40 years, with many consumers living through double-digit inflation for the first time. Although monetary authorities claim to have inflation under control, high chronic inflation nonetheless remains a possibility. This paper considers the case of Iran, a country with chronic high inflation, and through a qualitative study explores the experience of consumers and their adaptive strategies in such economic circumstances. For Western consumers, businesses and policy makers, it will be illuminating to grasp the impact and consequences of failed monetary policies and ongoing inflation on consumers’ lives and society at large.

Authors: Reis Ahu , Özgümüş Osman Birol , Rakıcı Erva , Durukan İnci , Buruk Kurtuluş , Bayramoğlu Gülçin , Kılıç Ali Osman
Published: December 2024

Objective: This study aimed to determine the carriage of transferable integron-associated drug resistance in
Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains isolated from blood cultures.
Materials and Methods: A total of 111 E. coli isolates were included in this study. Antimicrobial
susceptibility testing of the isolates against 17 antibiotics was performed using an automated microbiology
system. Integron-specific polymerase chain reactions (PCR) were used to detect the presence of integrons.
The antibiotic resistance gene cassettes in the variable regions of integrons were analyzed by DNA
sequencing. Plasmid transfer assays were performed using the broth mating method. The clonal
relationships among integron-carrying strains were evaluated by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE).
Results: Resistance rates to antibiotics ranged from 0.9% to 63%. Thirty-eight strains carried gene cassettes
encoding dfrA7, dfr17-aadA5, dfrV, dfrA1-aadA1, and dfrA12-aadA2. Seven strains possessed class 2
integrons with gene arrays dfrA1-sat2-aadA1 and dfrA1-sat2-aadA30. Twenty-two integron-carrying
isolates harbored conjugative resistance plasmids, three of which were identified as belonging to the IncN
group. Two strains with class 1 integrons, isolated from different clinics, exhibited similar patterns in the
PFGE analysis.
Conclusion: Approximately 50% of E. coli isolates from blood cultures at our hospital were found to carry
integron-associated transferable drug resistance, suggesting their potential role in the horizontal
dissemination of resistance genes. Further research is needed to understand the prevalence of E. coli strains
of blood origin and the role of integrons and gene cassette arrays in the spread of resistance.
The Brontë Sisters and the Critical Realism of English Literature
Authors: Mammadova Narmin
Published: December 2024

This article explores the distinctive critical realism in the works of the Brontë sisters—Charlotte, Emily, and Anne—highlighting their significant influence on English literature. Through an examination of major novels like Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, the article demonstrates how the Brontës combined unflinching depictions of social and psychological realities with moral critique, challenging literary conventions of their time. Their exploration of gender, class, and identity, particularly the complex portrayals of female autonomy and class struggles, marked a departure from the romanticized ideals of the Victorian era. Additionally, the Brontës’ innovative narrative techniques, such as unreliable narrators and non-linear structures, transformed the novel form, paving the way for modernist experimentation and feminist literary movements. By engaging with the intellectual currents of the 19th century, the Brontës crafted works that continue to resonate across generations, shaping both literary criticism and broader cultural discourses. Their legacy, defined by a commitment to social critique and emotional depth, underscores the enduring relevance of their critical realism in the ongoing evolution of literature.

From Roots to Borrowings: The Evolution of the English Lexicon
Authors: Nuri Alaviyya
Published: December 2024

The English lexicon is a dynamic and evolving entity shaped by centuries of internal development and external linguistic influences. This study explores the historical roots and borrowings that have contributed to its rich and diverse vocabulary. Through a historical linguistic approach, comparative analysis, and corpus-based studies, the research examines the interplay between native Germanic elements and borrowed terms from Latin, French, Scandinavian, and other languages. Findings reveal that borrowing has played a pivotal role in filling lexical gaps, enriching the lexicon, and reflecting sociocultural transformations such as Christianization, the Norman Conquest, and globalization. Borrowed terms, from Latin religious vocabulary to contemporary technology-related words, demonstrate the adaptability and inclusivity of English. The study also addresses challenges in categorizing borrowings, particularly the distinction between fully integrated terms and recent loanwords. The results highlight the lexicon as a testament to cultural and linguistic exchange, with implications for understanding English as a global lingua franca. Future research should focus on underexplored influences, such as Indigenous contributions and the role of digital communication in accelerating modern borrowing trends.

Authors: Jiménez Ramón A.
Published: December 2024

El mestizaje es común en la población latinoamericana después de la colonia española, pero varios grupos indígenas siguen coexistiendo en sus territorios, aunque viviendo bajo precariedad socio económica y marginalidad. El nivel de inclusión electoral que experimenta la mayoría de ellos, no necesariamente favorece la satisfacción de sus necesidades ni consideran las barreras geográficas y educativas cuando se trata de elecciones presidenciales, legislativas o municipales. Un mayor reconocimiento de sus derechos humanos y políticos, fortalecería la democracia y el desarrollo de sus comunidades. La educación política y electoral de jóvenes y adultos indígenas sigue siendo una tarea pendiente por las autoridades electorales y otros entes correspondientes.

Egg grading is a fundamental process in the poultry industry that ensures quality and food safety. This article explores the most commonly used classification methods, their implications for product quality and consumer expectations. Through a systematic review of the literature, three main classification criteria were identified: weight, size and shell quality. The results show that standardization in sorting practices improves production efficiency and market acceptance. It is concluded that the adoption of modern technologies and the harmonization of global standards are essential for the sustainable development of the poultry industry. Egg grading is crucial to ensuring that consumers receive high-quality products, as well as facilitating marketing. For producers, this practice allows for better management of stock and product distribution, in addition to meeting regulatory requirements aimed at ensuring food safety. The chicken egg is made up of a clear shell and yolk. The shell protects the inside of the egg and allows gas exchange. The egg white is rich in proteins and water, functioning as protection and a source of nutrients for the embryo. The yolk contains lipids, proteins, vitamins and minerals, being the main source of energy for the development of the embryo. The egg also has internal membranes, an air chamber and chalazions that hold the yolk in place.

Occupational safety is a very important aspect in the manufacturing industry, given the high risk of work accidents that can occur in this environment. The manufacturing industry is known for the use of heavy machinery, hazardous chemicals, and complex production processes, which increase the chance of occupational accidents if there is no effective work safety system (Fauzi, 2024). This research uses quantitative and qualitative approaches (mixed methods). The quantitative approach was used to measure the level of compliance with work safety policies and its impact on work accidents. Table 1 shows that the variables of knowledge, motivation and personality have a significant value > 0.05. Table 2 shows that the variables of training and communication do not have a significant relationship with labour compliance in using PPE. Table 3 shows that the PPE availability variable does not have a significant relationship with labour compliance in using PPE. It is important that companies continue to develop and implement comprehensive safety policies, involve workers in the drafting process, and provide ongoing training to create a safer and more productive work environment.

Published: December 2024

Women’s political participation has become an important issue in the context of democracy and human rights. Elections are one of the main arenas where women’s representation can be measured. Women’s involvement in elections not only promotes inclusive democracy but also recognizes the equal human rights of all individuals. This study examines the role of women’s representation in elections as a driver of democracy and respect for human rights. The qualitative and descriptive literature analysis will take empirical data from KPU data in Indonesia. This research illustrates that women’s representation in political institutions creates a broader perspective, reflects the diversity of society, and strengthens the legitimacy of democratic institutions. However, challenges remain in realizing significant women’s representation.

‘Warm Water’ Politics in The Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Authors: Haris Umiyati
Published: December 2024

Russia’s strategy to control the Black Sea is one of the things that has caused the escalation of its conflict with Ukraine. Russia’s strategy is called ‘warm water’ politics through the placement of military bases in the port of Sevastopol, Crimea. This research discusses the ‘warm water’ politics that Russia has adopted as a strategy in its conflict with Ukraine. This research is qualitative research with a descriptive-analytical data analysis method. The data is presented descriptively and then analyzed using Liddell Hart’s analysis of Strategy and Till’s Maritime Function. Data were obtained through a literature review of official documents, websites, and scientific articles. The data analysis technique uses the Miles and Huberman model, which consists of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that Russia’s Black Sea control strategy maintains the country’s existence, matching NATO’s strength in the Black Sea region. Sevastopol is an important port for accessing warm water areas. The maritime functions of Crimea for Russia are sea control, power projection, good order at sea, and maritime consensus. Russia is using “warm water” politics by utilizing the energy sector, especially natural gas supplies, as a tool to control Ukraine in the ongoing conflict. Due to these strategies, Russia has a significant chance to influence Ukrainian policy. Therefore, Russia’s employment of “warm water” tactics has proven to be an effective tactic in conflict with Ukraine.

This study investigates the dynamics of customer preference, satisfaction, and loyalty towards select food brands within the contemporary market landscape. The food industry is characterized by many choices, with consumers often faced with many options when selecting food products. In this context, taste, quality, price, convenience, and brand image are pivotal in shaping consumer behavior and preferences. The dynamics of consumer preferences in the food industry are influenced by various factors, including cultural, social, economic, and demographic variables. In the current scenario, economic considerations such as income levels, affordability, and perceived value for money are crucial in determining consumer preferences and brand choices. In times of economic uncertainty, consumers may prioritize cost-effective options without compromising quality, influencing their brand loyalty. Additionally, demographic variables such as age, gender, occupation, and lifestyle contribute to the diverse consumer preferences observed in the food industry. Satisfaction emerges as a critical determinant of customer loyalty, with satisfied customers exhibiting a higher propensity for repeat purchase behavior and brand advocacy. However, the study also uncovers the presence of moderating variables such as brand trust and perceived social responsibility, which significantly influence the strength of the relationship between satisfaction and loyalty.

Phlegmonous gastritis (PG) is an uncommon bacterial infection of the gastric wall, that progresses rapidly. The condition is characterized by purulent inflammation, which can spread throughout the entire gastro-intestinal tract and is associated with a high mortality rate. Early diagnosis and prompt antibiotic therapy are essential. We report a case of a 42-year-old female receiving a diagnosis with relapsed Philadelphia chromosome-negative B-cell, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, who developed acute severe epigastric pain and upper gastro-intestinal bleeding during induction chemotherapy. A contrast-enhanced tomography scan of the abdomen showed diffuse and significantly thickened gastric walls without evidence of bowel obstruction or ischemia. The patient subsequently received a diagnosis of PG and was successfully treated with antibiotics. This report focuses on the clinical and imaging findings, as well as the treatment outcomes of this rare disease

Authors: Petrakova A. V. , Lykova T. A. , Savinskiy S. D.
Published: December 2024

The process of creating a film product means that the members of the film crew are in constant close interaction with each other. A favorable psychological climate within such a group has a positive effect on the overall productivity and creative atmosphere. Thus, the relevance of studying intra-group relations in a film crew is determined by the need for competent selection of specialists for a working team, with consideration to their psychological features. The proposed pilot study opens up prospects for the introduction of socio-psychological methods in film production. From a practical point of view, this can promote group cohesion and improve intra-group relations, while from a theoretical one, it provides unique opportunities for studying the specifics of relationships in creative teams.

Published: December 2024

El acné y el hirsutismo son enfermedades frecuentes principalmente en adolescentes y adultos jóvenes, que afectan de forma importante la calidad de vida de muchas mujeres. Ambas patologías en conjunto, son indicativas de hiperandrogenismo. Este puede estar asociado a una gran variedad de causas y posibles diagnósticos, que varían desde patologías frecuentes como el síndrome de ovario poliquístico, hasta patologías más infrecuentes como tumores malignos secretores de andrógenos. La historia clínica y el examen físico completo nos orienta a las diferentes etiologías, que, junto a exámenes complementarios y pruebas de imagen, nos permitirá corroborar el diagnóstico, y de esta manera poder iniciar un tratamiento adecuado para el paciente, así como un manejo multidisciplinario con otras especialidades como ginecología y endocrinología. Se plantea un algoritmo diagnóstico y de tratamiento, como abordaje para la evaluación y manejo de las pacientes con acné e hirsutismo.
