Construction or updating? Event model processes during visual narrative comprehension
Authors: Brich Irina R. , Papenmeier Frank , Huff Markus , Merkt Martin
Published: February 2024

The plot of a narrative is represented in the form of event models in working memory. Because only parts of the plot are actually presented and information is continually changing, comprehenders have to infer a good portion of a narrative and keep their mental representation updated. Research has identified two related processes (e.g., Gernsbacher, 1997): During model construction (shifting, laying a foundation) at large coherence breaks an event model is completely built anew. During model updating (mapping) at smaller omissions, however, the current event model is preserved, and only changed parts are updated through inference processes. Thus far, reliably distinguishing those two processes in visual narratives like comics was difficult. We report a study (N = 80) that aimed to map the differences between constructing and updating event models in visual narratives by combining measures from narrative comprehension and event cognition research and manipulating event structure. Participants watched short visual narratives designed to (not) contain event boundaries at larger coherence breaks and elicit inferences through small omissions, while we collected viewing time measures as well as event segmentation and comprehensibility data. Viewing time, segmentation, and comprehensibility data were in line with the assumption of two distinct comprehension processes. We thus found converging evidence across multiple measures for distinct model construction and updating processes in visual narratives.
NSP-SCD: A corpus construction protocol for child-directed print in understudied languages
Authors: Nag Sonali , John Sunila , Agrawal Aakash
Published: February 2024

Child-directed print corpora enable systematic psycholinguistic investigations, but this research infrastructure is not available in many understudied languages. Moreover, researchers of understudied languages are dependent on manual tagging because precise automatized parsers are not yet available. One plausible way forward is to limit the intensive work to a small-sized corpus. However, with little systematic enquiry about approaches to corpus construction, it is unclear how robust a small corpus can be made. The current study examines the potential of a non-sequential sampling protocol for small corpus development (NSP-SCD) through a cross-corpora and within-corpus analysis. A corpus comprising 17,584 words was developed by applying the protocol to a larger corpus of 150,595 words from children’s books for 3-to-10-year-olds. While the larger corpus will by definition have more instances of unique words and unique orthographic units, still, the selectively sampled small corpus approximated the larger corpus for lexical and orthographic diversity and was equivalent for orthographic representation and word length. Psycholinguistic complexity increased by book level and varied by parts of speech. Finally, in a robustness check of lexical diversity, the non-sequentially sampled small corpus was more efficient compared to a same-sized corpus constructed by simply using all sentences from a few books (402 books vs. seven books). If a small corpus must be used then non-sequential sampling from books stratified by book level makes the corpus statistics better approximate what is found in larger corpora. Overall, the protocol shows promise as a tool to advance the science of child language acquisition in understudied languages.

Design, fabrication, and characterization of kinetic-inductive force sensors for scanning probe applications
Authors: Roos August K , Scarano Ermes , Arvidsson Elisabet K , Holmgren Erik , Haviland David B
Published: February 2024

We describe a transducer for low-temperature atomic force microscopy based on electromechanical coupling due to a strain-dependent kinetic inductance of a superconducting nanowire. The force sensor is a bending triangular plate (cantilever) whose deflection is measured via a shift in the resonant frequency of a high-Q superconducting microwave resonator at 4.5 GHz. We present design simulations including mechanical finite-element modeling of surface strain and electromagnetic simulations of meandering nanowires with large kinetic inductance. We discuss a lumped-element model of the force sensor and describe the role of an additional shunt inductance for tuning the coupling to the transmission line used to measure the microwave resonance. A detailed description of our fabrication is presented, including information about the process parameters used for each layer. We also discuss the fabrication of sharp tips on the cantilever using focused electron beam-induced deposition of platinum. Finally, we present measurements that characterize the spread of mechanical resonant frequency, the temperature dependence of the microwave resonance, and the sensor’s operation as an electromechanical transducer of force.
The Impact of (Un)Ethical Survival Mode Duality and Choices of the Educational Elite on the African Renaissance
Authors: Munyangeyo Théophile
Published: February 2024

In postcolonial Africa, education has always been perceived as pivotal for national and continental progress. For many Africans pursuing education abroad, the intent was to contribute to their countries' development upon their return. However, the anticipated positive outcomes have often not materialised. Many faced a dilemma: conform to unethical systems or resist them, leading to either self-imposed exile, pursuing brain-drain channels, or compromising with corrupt systems. Using Edward T. Hall's Cultural Context method, this study analyses novels depicting African realities. It critically explores individual duality and its impact on the African renaissance by emphasising the challenge of reconciling personal ideals and integrity with the harsh realities of political power dynamics. The struggle against corrupt systems hampers postcolonial progress, hindering education's potential for sustainable development. The study confirms that the potential of education cannot materialise as a catalyst for positive change and sustainable development in postcolonial Africa without an ethical transformation.

Published: February 2024

AbstractExploitation of the environment is an action taken by humans by exploiting or taking all forms of natural resources excessively for the benefit of individuals or groups. Environmental exploitation also has a very serious impact on the circumstances surrounding the community's residence. Sand mining is a form of environmental exploitation and it is a form of anthropocentrism. Anthropocentrism is a theory which states that humans have a special role as the sole guardian of the earth's sustainability because humans are the only living things that are the most rational among other living things. It is not surprising that natural disasters are often caused by human actions, such as landslides, floods, and others. The thing that is interesting is that in the Rumpin area, Bogor Regency, where the surrounding community carries out mining activities and this results in increasing the economy of the people in the Rumpin area. In fact, if you look at it from the other side, there is also environmental pollution, damage to access roads, and so on that are detrimental to everyday life.Keywords: Environmental Exploitation, Sand Mining, Anthropocentrisme AbstrakEksploitasi lingkungan merupakan tindakan yang dilakukan oleh manusia dengan cara memanfaatkan atau mengambil segala bentuk sumber daya alam secara berlebihan untuk kepentingan individu maupun kelompok.

Konstelasi Pemenuhan Hak Warga Negara Oleh Masyarakat Penghayat Kepercayaan Parmalim
Authors: Amalinda Valerie
Published: February 2024

According to Marshal, there are three segments of citizens rights, namely civil rights, social rights, and political rights. Representation of social rights is interpreted as to embrace a religion that they believe is part of the realization of Human Rights (HAM). However, in practice there is still a lot of discrimination that occurs against adherents of this belief, not infrequently the community's stigma about this belief system is heretical and deviant teachings, worshiping idols and allying with Satan. Parmalim is one of the local beliefs and religions typical of the Batak tribe which also often gets discriminatory treatment from the community. Even the fulfillment of the rights of citizens which should be absolutely granted, cannot be given because it is collided with their status as believers. With qualitative methods and data collection techniques in the form of literature studies, the researcher wants to see how the Parmalim community gets discriminatory treatment to fight for their rights as citizens, and it is known that discriminatory treatment is still obtained even though it has been regulated by the Constitutional Court Regulation which regulates this.Keywords: Citizens Rights, Religion, and Parmalim

The Road towards Triple Agonists: Glucagon-Like Peptide 1, Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide and Glucagon Receptor - An Update
Authors: Jakubowska Agnieszka , Roux Carel W. le , Viljoen Adie
Published: February 2024

Obesity is the fifth leading risk factor for global deaths with numbers continuing to increase worldwide. In the last 20 years, the emergence of pharmacological treatments for obesity based on gastrointestinal hormones has transformed the therapeutic landscape. The successful development of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, followed by the synergistic combined effect of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)/GLP-1 receptor agonists achieved remarkable weight loss and glycemic control in those with the diseases of obesity and type 2 diabetes. The multiple cardiometabolic benefits include improving glycemic control, lipid profiles, blood pressure, inflammation, and hepatic steatosis. The 2023 phase 2 double-blind, randomized controlled trial evaluating a GLP-1/GIP/glucagon receptor triagonist (retatrutide) in patients with the disease of obesity reported 24.2% weight loss at 48 weeks with 12 mg retatrutide. This review evaluates the current available evidence for GLP-1 receptor agonists, dual GLP-1/GIP receptor co-agonists with a focus on GLP-1/GIP/glucagon receptor triagonists and discusses the potential future benefits and research directions.
Contested identities - critical conceptualisations of the human
Authors: Latecka Ewa , Du Toit Jean , Swer Gregory Morgan
Published: February 2024

Critical Theory, insofar as it seeks to “liberate human beings from the circumstances that enslave them” (Horkheimer 1982: 244), continually engages with a critical conceptualisation of the subject of its enquiry – humanity – and the societies it inhabits. The third South African Society for Critical Theory annual conference took place on 22 and 23 November 2019 at the Howard College Campus of the University of KwaZulu-Natal on the theme “Contested Identities: Critical Conceptualisations of the Human”. The conference served to re-affirm the continuing relevance of critical theory for enquiring not just into contemporary society, but also for asking questions of our conceptualisations of the human and human identity.
Does urbanisation change the political order in Africa? Reflections on cities, middle-classes and political processes in Kenya
Authors: Stoll Florian
Published: February 2024

Most African countries have seen in the last decades a significant growth of cities. Political systems rely, however, frequently on the networks of societies with a rural majority. This article uses the example of Kenya to illustrate how urbanisation influences political processes. Kenya is particularly suited to discuss this connection because it is a constitutional democracy with formally free elections, a multi-party system and political parties with an ethnic foundation. Parties do not rely on political-ideological programmes but are based, by and large, on mono- or multi-ethnic-regional affiliations. With growing migration into cities, the existing political balance could come under pressure as ethnic-regional affiliations weaken. This article examines if there are indicators for the change of the political order. Are there signs that the urban population stops accepting the distribution of resources and power to the political-economic elite and its rural basis? A crucial role in the ongoing changes play new urban middle-income groups (often called “middle-classes”), who are no longer embedded into regional ethnic networks.

 

There is an analytical advantage to consider certain types of protest in the context of urbanisation and not only as outcomes of the political and societal sphere. Instead of studying isolated events and movements, this text suggests examining these in a long-term view and in the light of socio-structural change. Moreover, the argument assumes that there is a tension between the growing significance of cities and socio-political structures that build on rural society. Historical background information on Kenya and empirical examples of middle-income strata, protests, and activism demonstrate the impacts of urbanisation´s increased significance for political processes.
Marcien Towa, father of Cameroonian Critical Theory: a comparison with Max Horkheimer
Authors: Bitang Adoulou
Published: February 2024

In this paper, I examine the extent to which Marcien Towa (1931-2014) can be considered the Father of Cameroonian Critical Theory. In this regard, I compare what can be called his social philosophy with the project of a critical theory of society, as outlined by Max Horkheimer (1895-1973). I specifically consider Marcien Towa’s idea of philosophy, which I confront with Horkheimer’s project from the perspectives offered by their sociopolitical premises, conceptual references, and progressive goals. On each of these aspects, I discover sufficient correspondences that allow me to argue that Towa and Horkheimer, who barely knew each other, formulated a somewhat similar claim, namely to provide a critical theory of society, whose aim is not only to understand society but more importantly to change it.
‘A love note to our future selves’: the coaching imperative in platform cultures
Authors: Kompatsiaris Panos
Published: February 2024

This article looks at the imperative of life coaching on media platforms as a broader social technology and a technology of the self. Life coaching suggests that a better future self can be achieved through the constant training of one’s personality, body, taste, preferences, emotions, image, communication skills, and a myriad of other life aspects. I understand the coaching imperative as a wider mandate of self- improvement standing at the crossroads of the wellness and spirituality industries (e.g. mindfulness, yoga, self-help), the body industry (e.g. fitness, health, exercise), guidance and counselling (e.g. ‘how to become a millionaire’, ‘how to become an alpha male’) and the affordances of media platforms. Using literature on micro-celebrities and platform studies as well as research on life coach training programmes, books, and instructions, I argue that the ‘self’ in this narrative is an ongoing project, constantly under supervision and reframing. The imperative to improve assembles a productive process composed of technical infrastructure, e.g. self-tracking devices, tests, and apps, and labour power, e.g. self-labour, the labour of the therapist, the coach, and the analyst.

The article analyzes the technological and market solutions that the world leading private oil and gas companies use in their strategies for adapting to the imperatives of energy transition. It is shown that Russia and Russian companies possess significant technological and natural potential to implement effective decarbonization and demethanization strategies. It is important that an active climate policy will not only ensure the implementation of strategic national goals for low carbon development, but will also support rather high rates of growth of national economy. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of carbon markets built upon nature-based solutions, development of which allows companies to integrate low-carbon technological solutions into corporate business models.
POSSIBLE FUTURE SCENARIO: TWO-STAGE SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF RUSSIA UNTIL 2030–2035
Authors:   Russian Academy of Sciences, AGANBEGYAN A.G.
Published: February 2024

Author analysis trends in socio-economic development of Russia over the past 30 years, concludes that the formed socio-economic system is ineffective and it is necessary to carry out a number of fundamental reforms. The transformation, according to the scientist, should take place in two stages. At the first stage, in the next 5 years, the main task is to resume socio-economic growth by increasing the share of investments in fixed assets in GDP from 18–22% to 25–27% and the share of the “knowledge economy” from 14–15 to 20%. At the second stage, until 2030, a series of reforms should be carried out, in particular, the reforms of property, regional management, financial and social systems.

The article presents a factor analysis of the development of the local labor market, taking into account the labor potential of rural pensioners. Issues are raised about the further development of personal subsidiary plots and the use of economic and mathematical tools to assess labor market tensions, take into account professional skills and the quality of jobs. The purpose of the study was to assess the labor potential of rural pensioners and determine their status in the labor market. The developed model for assessing the potential of rural pensioners allows us to predict the costs of physical labor, build a motivation system and justify new types of business (quail breeding). Based on published material and the results of expeditionary research, a portrait of the economic potential of retirees was compiled, and professional routes for continuing their work activity were proposed.

Socially oriented non-profit organizations (SONKO) play an important role in the development of modern society, especially in large cities such as Moscow. This sector contributes to solving socially significant problems by providing support to various segments of society. However, for the effective functioning and development of SONKO, state assistance is needed. Moscow, as the largest city in the Russian Federation, is the center of concentration of a large number of SONKO. In it, they are constantly looking for opportunities to implement their projects and ideas. That is why state support is becoming more and more relevant, as it can provide SONKO with the necessary resources and tools to successfully fulfill their mission. This article analyzes the infrastructure of state support for SONKO in the city of Moscow. As part of the study, for the first time, a comprehensive analysis of all forms of support for non-profit organizations in the city of Moscow, including financial, property, information, and other forms, was carried out.

To ensure long-term socio-economic progress, a regional sustainable development strategy based on the analysis of the specific features and problems of a particular region is a necessary tool. In the context of the Republic of Kalmykia, the key measures to achieve sustainable development will be the development of alternative energy sources, the creation of modern infrastructure, the improvement of the education system and the provision of social protection for the population. Sustainable development of the regional socio-economic system of Kalmykia is a complex and multifaceted process that aims to ensure sustainable economic growth, social justice and environmental protection.
GREEN INVESTMENT, ENERGY EFFICIENCY, AND ECONOMIC GROWTH: DOES ECONOMIC FREEDOM MATTER? EVIDENCE FROM BRICS COUNTRIES
Authors: Mu HongMei
Published: February 2024

Sustainable development goals, particularly number 7, clearly urges economies over the globe to multiple their efforts in order to improve efficiency. Although witnesses stressed out the importance of energy efficiency and claimed that when it is improved drastically, it triggers economic growth, however, the reported evidences to support the claim are mixed. In BRICS scenario, economies are experiencing the change from high-speed growth to high quality growth, due to which it is equally important to look into green investment as it is an essential tool to build high quality economic growth. Although green investment targets energy conservation as well as ecological deficit as it main goal. However, limited literature claims that it affects economic growth as well. Thus, the present study aims to assess green investment, energy efficiency, and economic growth (EG) and their impact on economic freedom index of the BRICS countries. Methods of Moments-Quantile-Regression (MMQR) approach is applied to explore the association between the understudy constructs in the time span of 2001–2020. Interestingly, it is revealed that green investment, energy efficiency and renewable energy are positively related with economic freedom index of the BRICS countries. With the evidences, the study proposes a conclusive remark to spur development across the countries.
IMPACT OF OPEN INNOVATION ON GLOBALIZATION: A SURVEY STUDY ON CHINA
Authors: Chien FengSheng , Zhang YunQian , Sadiq Muhammad
Published: February 2024

The objective of this study is to examine the role of open innovation practices to promote globalization. For this purpose, this study considered two open innovation practices: external knowledge and supplier involvement. A survey was carried out to collect primary data from the respondents. This study preferred Chinese small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to examine the role of open innovation in globalization. Data were collected from the employees of SMEs in China. By employing Structural Equation Modeling, this study addressed the important insights for academicians and practitioners. It is concluded that; open innovation practices have key role to promote globalization. The promotion of open innovation practices among the Chinese SMEs can increase the globalization potential. The strategies of open innovation led to increase in business collaboration across the border business organizations. The business collaboration between the SMEs of various countries is the best way to enhance globalization by increasing the level of social capital. Therefore, those institutions who want to promote globalization should promote open innovation practices among the business organizations.
Resonant Chains and the Convergent Migration of Planets in Protoplanetary Disks
Authors: Wong Ka Ho , Lee Man Hoi
Published: February 2024

An increasing number of compact planetary systems with multiple planets in a resonant chain have been detected. The resonant chain must be maintained by convergent migration of the planets due to planet–disk interactions if it is formed before the dispersal of the protoplanetary gas disk. For type I migration in an adiabatic disk, we show that an analytic criterion for convergent migration can be developed by requiring that any part of the resonant chain should be convergently migrating toward the remaining part. The criterion depends primarily on the logarithmic gradients α and β of the surface density and temperature profiles of the disk, respectively, and it is independent of the absolute values of the surface density and temperature. The analytic criterion is applied to the Kepler-60, Kepler-80, Kepler-223, TOI-178, and TRAPPIST-1 systems. Due to the variation of planetary masses within the resonant chains, we find that convergent migration typically requires rather extreme values of (α, β) that have little or no overlap with common disk models. Finally, we show that there is an empirical relationship between the distance of the innermost planet from the central star and the stellar mass for the observed resonant chain systems, which supports the idea that the resonant chains are formed and maintained by stalling the migration of the innermost planet near the inner edge of the disk truncated by the magnetic fields of the protostar.

The corona is a structure possessed by stars, including the Sun. The abnormal heating of the solar corona and chromosphere is one of the greatest mysteries in modern astronomy. While state-of-the-art observations have identified some candidates of magnetic activity events that could be responsible for this abnormal heating, and theoretical studies have proposed various heating modes, a complete physical picture of how they are heated as a whole remains elusive. In this study, the characteristics of the heated corona and chromosphere are investigated, and for the first time, the question of how they are abnormally heated is explicitly answered by analyzing the long-term observations of the global chromosphere in the Ca ii K line and the global corona in the coronal green line. The findings reveal that both the quiet chromosphere and corona are in antiphase with the solar cycle, whereas the active chromosphere and corona are in phase with it. Different parts of the solar corona and chromosphere exhibit significantly different variation characteristics and are found to be heated by different magnetic categories and probably in different modes. This study posits that unraveling the heating mystery is best approached through the lens of magnetic categories, rather than magnetic activity events.
Measuring Tracers of Planet Formation in the Atmosphere of WASP-77A b: Substellar O/H and C/H Ratios, with a Stellar C/O Ratio and a Potentially Superstellar Ti/H Ratio
Authors: Edwards Billy , Changeat Quentin
Published: February 2024

We present a comprehensive atmospheric retrieval study of the hot Jupiter WASP-77A b using eclipse observations from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and JWST. Using atmospheric retrievals, the spectral features of H2O, CO, and TiO are identified, with volume mixing ratios estimated at log10(VMR) = −4.40

, respectively. We derive the atmospheric C-to-O ratio—a key planetary formation tracer—to be C/O = 0.54 ± 0.12, which is consistent with both the stellar host value and previous studies of the planet’s atmosphere, suggesting a relatively close-in formation. Computing other elemental ratios (i.e., C/H, O/H, and Ti/H), we conclude that the general enrichment of the atmosphere (i.e., metallicity) is substellar, depleted in C and O, but that Ti appears slightly superstellar. A low C and O content could be obtained, in combination with a stellar C/O ratio if the planet formed outside of the CO2 snow line before migrating inwards. Meanwhile, a superstellar Ti/H could be obtained by late contamination from refractory rich planetesimals. While broadly in agreement with previous works, we do find some differences and discuss these while also highlighting the need for homogeneous analyses when comparative exoplanetology is conducted.
El desarrollo de cascos en los reinos cristianos de la península ibérica entre 1150 y 1230 d.C.: evidencias de un único estilo regional
Authors: Konstantinovich Alekseychik Pavel , Frederick McSweeney Robbie Louis , Español-Solana Darío
Published: February 2024

Los cascos de caballería utilizados en los reinos cristianos de la península ibérica en el siglo XII y principios del XIII presentaban una variedad de diseños que reflejan tanto las tendencias de la moda militar local como las influencias culturales de Francia en el noreste y las regiones controladas por musulmanes en el sur. A pesar de la ausencia casi total de registros arqueológicos, estos diseños están ampliamente representados en las artes visuales. Este estudio analiza 56 obras de arte que representan cascos con protección facial usados en los territorios históricos de Aragón, Navarra, Castilla y León. Una tipología propuesta describe tres tipos de casco endémicos ibéricos, así como tres tipos comunes en el arte de otras regiones europeas. Se discuten las distribuciones temporales y geográficas de las fuentes. Se concluye que las primeras representaciones de cascos con facial y completamente cerrados en Europa se encuentran en Navarra y que, en general, las representaciones ibéricas de cascos con protección facial desarrollada son anteriores a las del resto de Europa.

En este artículo se estudia el contenido del elenco tratando de argumentar su significación simbólica como expresión de la imagen del poder nobiliario. Al ser uno los mejores conjuntos de Castilla, se constituyó como un elemento clave en la proyección de la Casa.
Software-assisted identification of non-native pitch elements for Russian-speaking learners of Spanish
Authors: Sarymsakova Albina , Martín-Rodilla Patricia
Published: February 2024

In this paper we present the results of an automatic comparative-contrastive analysis of functional elements of intonational contour (anacrusis, first peak, body, nucleus and final inflection) produced by non-native speakers of Spanish, whose first language is Russian. This analysis was carried out with the Plugin for phonetic-phonological analysis in Spanish (PAFe), a software tool for an instant comparative analysis of a non-native speakers’ pronunciation which takes audio recordings as input and implements multiple intonation comparison algorithms between native and non-native speakers of Spanish to calculate the percentage of similarity in intonation production. We used the intersyllabic analysis function of PAFe in order to identify which functional pitch elements of Russian speaking learners of Spanish -male and female- present more tonal deviations. Our results show that most tonal differences occurred in the body of the f 0 contour for female speakers whereas for male speakers the greatest tonal contrast was in the first peak. The obtained data indicate that these pitch elements are potentially challenging for Russian speaking learners of Spanish in their pursuit of acquiring phonetic-phonological competence. In addition, this study allowed us to identify which parameters of PAFe analysis per syllables require further refinement, such as processing of limited intonational spectrum values.
The imperial capital of Mâli (14th century)
Authors: Fauvelle François-Xavier
Published: February 2024

Despite its international fame during the Middle Ages, our knowledge of the empire of Mâli remains patchy. Perhaps the most significant lacuna is that its capital has not yet been reliably identified. This paper offers a new hypothesis about the location of the imperial capital of Mâli in the 14th century. It is based on the observation that the rulers of Mâli, like those of other medieval African polities, strengthened their power by controlling the interface between opposite merchant networks. In doing so, they tended to establish their political legitimacy through the use of titles and displays of political and religious power befitting their different clients and subjects. Taking this economic, religious and political duality into consideration allows us to posit that the capital of Mâli lay outside the royal domain. Though it has not yet been probed by archaeology, the city’s hypothetical location proposed in this arricle corresponds to available Arabic descriptions.
Escritura publicitaria en el tránsito entre el medievo y la modernidad
Authors: Morilla Alejandro García
Published: February 2024

La comunidad científica internacional no tiene dudas hoy en asumir que las inscripciones son un medio de comunicación con intención de notoriedad, universalidad – dentro del grupo social que les da origen- y mayor o menor grado de perdurabilidad. De ahí que haya sido el mecanismo utilizado, entre otros, por artistas y escultores para acompañar a sus programas iconográficos con la intención de completarlos y ofrecer mayor profundidad comunicativa que la que se puede lograr únicamente con la imagen. Este es sin duda el objetivo perseguido por el artista (o los artistas) que realizaron los retablos de la Duda y la Pasión para la capilla funeraria de los Caparroso de la Catedral de Pamplona. Este mecanismo – texto+imagen –, no representa novedad alguna pero sí lo es la utilización de distintos tipos gráficos dentro de un mismo conjunto epigráfico. Este fenómeno es propio y casi exclusivo de la epigrafía de transición entre el ocaso medieval y los albores de la modernidad. Es por ello que nuestro estudio se centra en el análisis paleográfico de estos retablos tratando de arrojar luz sobre algunas incógnitas que aún permanecen sin resolver.

Published: February 2024

Objetivo: Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a relação causal entre as despesas correntes e o serviço da dívida na fragilidade financeira dos estados brasileiros, considerando as pressuposições teóricas da Hipótese de Fragilidade Financeira Aplicada ao Setor Público.

Método: foi utilizada a modelagem PVAR para dados em painel, formada a partir do Método de Momentos Generalizados ou Generalized Method of Moments – GMM. Foram realizados os testes de Hansen, Andrews e Lu e de estabilidade do modelo. Os dados foram obtidos do site da Secretaria do Tesouro Nacional, fazendo parte da amostra as 27 unidades da federação brasileira no período de 2013 a 2017.

Originalidade/Relevância: Este estudo preenche lacunas quanto a análises sobre a fragilidade financeira de entes subnacionais, evidenciando se esta é formada pelo servido da dívida, conforme teoria da fragilidade financeira, ou pelo desequilíbrio fiscal entre as receitas e despesas correntes. Dessa forma, avalia se há relação causal entre as despesas correntes e o serviço da dívida na fragilidade financeira dos estados brasileiros.

Resultados: Confirmada a influência causal do serviço da dívida como também das Despesas Correntes na fragilidade financeira dos estados brasileiros. Foram realizadas ainda a decomposição da variância e a FIR, a qual confirmaram influências dos choques destas três variáveis e a sua convergência ao longo do tempo ao equilíbrio.

Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas/práticas: As evidências econométricas ampliaram as discussões não só quanto à fragilidade financeira no setor público, como também corroboraram estudos anteriores. As evidenciações responderam ao problema de pesquisa e ampliam o debate quanto à fragilidade financeira aplicada ao setor público, especificamente quanto aos estados brasileiros, contribuindo para o entendimento dos aspectos fiscais, econômicos e até mesmo orçamentários.
