Климатические угрозы – новое измерение безопасности Евросоюза
Authors: Арбатова Надежда
Published: November 2022

Европейский союз стал первым международным актором, осознавшим последствия и масштаб климатических угроз для европейской и глобальной безопасности. Это потребовало десятилетий последовательного изучения рисков, связанных с изменением климата, разработки мер противодействия экологическим потрясениям и концептуализации проблем климатической безопасности. С принятием концепции стратегической автономии руководство Евросоюза пришло к выводу, что для удержания статуса центра силы в мировой политике экологическая безопасность должна быть поставлена в центр внешней политики, политики безопасности и обороны. Для этого необходимы как теоретические новаторские подходы, так и практические меры, направленные на системное возрождение климатической и экологической безопасности в Европе и за ее пределами. Интеграция климатической безопасности в общую стратегию безопасности и обороны Евросоюза стала новым и важнейшим направлением его деятельности.

Authors: Tran Dinh Phung , Nguyen Phan Thu Hang , Darsono Susilo Nur Aji Cokro
Published: November 2022

Research aims: This study examines the influence of firm size, firm age, current ratio, and type of audit company on the corporate social responsibility disclosure level and its impact on the financial performance of listed enterprises in Vietnam.Design/Methodology/Approach: Financial data were collected from the annual reports of 109 enterprises listed on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange, Vietnam, from 2016 to 2020. This research employed the Random Effects Model (REM), Fixed Effects Model (FEM), and Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) to deal with the drawbacks of the regression models, as mentioned.Research findings: The findings support the positive influence of firm size, firm age, and the type of auditing firm on the level of CSR information disclosure of listed manufacturing enterprises. Also, the extent of CSR disclosure positively affected financial performance, confirming the positive relationship between CSR disclosure level and financial performance.Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study contributes to governance theory by expanding and combining stakeholder and legitimacy theories with criteria for measuring the level of CSR disclosure in the Vietnamese context. Therefore, the study results are a valuable reference for theorists who tirelessly pursue the CSR topic.Practitioner/Policy implication: This study proposes recommendations for practitioners who should focus on enhancing the level of CSR disclosure to generate more benefits and result in better financial performance. Also, policy implications should be raising the senior managers’ awareness of the level of CSR disclosure, firm size, firm age, and type of audit and establishing a stable legal framework for the level of CSR disclosure in line with international standards and practices.Research limitation/Implication: The sample data were only collected from manufacturing companies listed on Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange, and the analyzed content and measurement of the level of CSR disclosure primely relied on the enterprises’ annual reports.

Authors: Puspa Dwi Fitri , Nazaruddin Ietje , Yulistia M Resti , Minovia Arie Frinola
Published: November 2022

Research aims: This study examines the value relevance of accounting information consisting of earnings information, book values, and operating cash flows after Indonesia uses the full convergence of IFRS Financial Accounting Standards.Design/Methodology/Approach: The value relevance test was conducted using Ohlson's (1995) pricing model and Easton and Harris' (1991) return model. The valuation model test employed two regression equations, i.e., testing the relationship between earnings information and book value with stock prices and then testing the relationship between earnings information, book value, and cash flow with stock prices. In addition, the return model testing was performed to examine the relationship between earnings information and earnings changes with stock returns and the relationship between cash flow and cash flow changes with stock returns. The research sample was 105 manufacturing companies, with a research period from 2016 to 2019.Research findings: The test results with the pricing model approach revealed that earnings and cash flow had value relevance, while book value had no value relevance. This study’s results suggest that earnings and cash flow information are helpful for investors in making investment decisions. Moreover, the test results with the return model approach also uncovered those earnings, changes in earnings, and changes in operating cash flows had value relevance while operating cash flows, on the other hand, had no value relevance.Theoretical contribution/Originality: The utilized two models complement each other, and this study provides empirical evidence for standard setters who can renew beliefs about how much accounting information is reflected in stock prices in Indonesia, especially the manufacturing sector, after the full convergence of IFRS Financial Accounting Standards is applied.

Authors: Rodríguez-Gil Andrés Felipe , Urbano-Cáceres Eliana Ximena , Ramírez-López Laura Ximena , Meza-Fandiño Duvier Fabián
Published: November 2022

Introducción: las colinesterasas son enzimas que se encargan de hidrolizar la acetilcolina en ácido acético y colina, poniéndole fin a la transmisión nerviosa a lo largo de la sinapsis de las uniones neuromusculares. La medición de la actividad colinesterasa sérica constituye un indicador del efecto causado por la exposición prolongada a los organofosforados Objetivo: determinar los niveles de colinesterasa sérica y factores relacionados con la exposición a organofosforados en agricultores de la vereda de Páramo Lagunas de San Pablo de Borbur, Boyacá, Colombia. Metodología: estudio prospectivo, de corte transversal, con una muestra de 57 trabajadores; a cada individuo se le aplicó una encuesta de datos sociodemográficos y factores laborales, y se tomó una muestra de sangre venosa en ayuno de 8-12 horas; se determinaron las concentraciones de colinesterasa sérica (kit Colinesterasa Butiriltiocolina Biosystems®), con el equipo automatizado de química clínica A-15 de Biosystems®. Resultados: el rango de edad de los participantes estuvo entre los 22 y 64 años; el 72 % de los individuos pertenecía al sexo masculino. El 3,5 % (2 varones) presentó valores inferiores al intervalo biológico de referencia (IBR); el 88 % de las personas afirmó realizar tareas con plaguicidas, y el 54 % afirmó no utilizar los elementos de protección personal (EPP) al trabajar con estas sustancias. Conclusiones: se evidenció la falta de escolaridad y la ausencia del acompañamiento técnico en esta zona, lo que induce a que estos agricultores realicen procesos agrícolas, como aplicación de plaguicidas, sin el adecuado conocimiento y sin la utilización adecuada de EEP.

Authors: Rojas-Botero Maylen Liseth , Borrero-Ramírez Yadira Eugenia , Fernández-Niño Julián Alfredo
Published: November 2022

Introducción: las estadísticas vitales son fundamentales para conocer las condiciones de salud de la población y diseñar intervenciones. De su calidad depende la precisión y validez de las métricas derivadas y la relevancia de las decisiones de política pública. Objetivo: evaluar la calidad de las estadísticas vitales de niños menores de cinco años en Colombia, entre 2000 y 2018. Métodos: estudio descriptivo y exploratorio. Se analizó la calidad de los registros de nacidos vivos y defunciones publicados por el DANE, utilizando los criterios recomendados por las Naciones Unidas: exactitud (precisión), cobertura (compleción) y oportunidad. Resultados: se encontraron registros de nacimientos y defunciones con datos perdidos en categorías que indican gradiente social. El 8,2 % de los registros de defunción tenían como causa básica de muerte códigos poco útiles para la toma de decisiones en salud pública. El 97,8 % de los nacidos vivos fueron registrados durante el mismo año de ocurrencia. El subregistro de la mortalidad infantil se estimó en un 28,9 %, con diferencias entre territorios. Conclusiones: la calidad de las estadísticas vitales en niños menores de cinco años de Colombia mejoró en los 19 años evaluados, en particular en exactitud y oportunidad. Sin embargo, persisten problemas en la asignación de la causa básica de muerte y en el subregistro, con diferencias importantes entre territorios. Mejorar la calidad del sistema de estadísticas vitales debe ser un imperativo ético, en especial para comprender las poblaciones de áreas geográficas históricamente invisibilizadas en el país.

Authors: Trujillo-Hoyos Mónica , Cárdenas-Velásquez Nairoby , Restrepo-Avendaño Sara Lorena
Published: November 2022

Introducción: la formación interdisciplinar en el marco de la atención primaria en salud (APS) permite la apertura a nuevos conocimientos, un abordaje integral a realidades complejas en los territorios y la articulación entre actores. Esto posibilita mejores resultados tanto para las comunidades, en la resolución de sus necesidades y problemas, como para los profesionales que vinculan a su formación el concepto y práctica de la APS. Objetivo: diseñar una ruta metodológica para la implementación de prácticas interdisciplinarias integradas con enfoque territorial, en el marco de la APS. Metodología: es un proyecto de interacción social, cualitativo, basado en los postulados del paradigma crítico social y bajo las premisas de la educación popular y la acción participativa, cuyo proceso de desarrollo estuvo enmarcado en la construcción colectiva con estudiantes y docentes de las diferentes unidades académicas participantes, así como con líderes sociales, comunitarios, institucionales y políticos de los territorios vinculados. Por ello, la construcción de la ruta privilegia la participación de estos, de forma horizontal en cada uno de los momentos del proyecto: diagnóstico, sistematización y validación. Resultados: se creó una ruta metodológica en cuatro fases: aprestamiento, planeación, ejecución y evaluación, cada una con diferentes momentos. Discusión: pese a que no se encontraron otros referentes de rutas metodológicas de prácticas interdisciplinarias integradas, la discusión se centra en los conceptos de educación para la salud, APS e interdisciplinariedad y sus implicaciones, tanto para los procesos de formación como para el abordaje interdisciplinario de las necesidades en los territorios. Conclusiones: la cogestión de actores comunitarios, institucionales de los territorios y de la universidad son cruciales para desarrollar los propósitos de formación y aportar a la resolución de necesidades y problemas priorizados, en el marco de la APS, entendiendo la comunidad como un sujeto de acompañamiento mediante prácticas interdisciplinarias integradas y no como un objeto de intervención para lograr propósitos formativos.

Authors: Campuzano-Castellanos Marisol , García-Flórez Manuel
Published: November 2022

Introducción: el cáncer escamocelular de cavidad oral es una patología con bajas tasas de sobrevivencia. Cuando no es tratado adecuadamente es un tumor de alta recurrencia y resistente al tratamiento. Nuevas hipótesis plantean que las células tumorales progenitoras por sus propiedades de auto renovación, iniciación tumoral, migración y metástasis pueden ser responsables de la manutención y renovación de este tumor. Sin embargo, aún no existe un consenso sobre la verdadera participación de ellas, debido a que su identificación y caracterización es aún un reto experimental. Objetivo: en este trabajo se busca detectar células con expresión de marcadores de células tumorales Progenitoras en muestras cáncer escamocelular de cavidad oral y relacionarlo con los estadios de diferenciación del tumor. Metodología: en esta investigación se tomaron 32 muestras de pacientes con carcinoma escamocelular de cavidad oral. Se logró detectar in situ, mediante la técnica de inmunofluorescencia, cuatro reconocidos marcadores de células tumorales progenitoras. Resultados: se identificaron los marcadores OCT4, SSEA4, NANOG y TRA-1-60 en los diferentes estadios de diferenciación tumoral, lo que sugiere la participación de las células progenitoras tumorales en la evolución de esta patología. Conclusiones: el establecimiento y correcta identificación de las células tumorales progenitoras abre nuevas vías terapéuticas para el abordaje de este tumor, en busca de mejorar el pronóstico, tasa de sobrevivencia y calidad de vida del paciente.

This paper adopts a machine-learning model and proposes a new algorithm named "RSU-ML-PL," which enables a personalized and self-tutoring system. Overall, the experiment revealed good progress in student marks on their final examinations. The final examination results show that 606 (79%) students in the risk group passed their exams.
An Approach to the Similarity Between Trajectories
Authors: Moreno Arboleda Francisco Javier , Luna Jaime Guzmán , Valencia Carvajal Juan Felipe
Published: November 2022

The trajectory of an object that moves in a space during a time interval describes its movement. Trajectories can be grouped by similarity according to different criteria, e.g., their shape, speed, distance travelled, duration, and visited sites, among others. These criteria have typically been approached separately, with few works considering the combination of criteria to measure similarity between trajectories. In this paper, we analyse several methods to calculate the similarity between trajectories. The most representative proposals are analysed in detail to identify lines of research. The analysis focuses especially on the proposals that consider semantic aspects for determining similarity, e.g., the categories of visited sites, and the combination of criteria. By means of two motivating examples, we show that the similarity between trajectories: i) is not a trivial notion and ii) can be useful in fields such as marketing, tourism, traffic, and animal monitoring, among others.
Introducing Neuro-Symbolic Artificial Intelligence to Humanities and Social Sciences: Why Is It Possible and What Can Be Done?
Authors: Huang Zhen
Published: November 2022

With the support of artificial intelligence (AI), the smart applications in all walks of life have brought great changes to human society. Not only being concerned, analysed and criticized by scholars from Humanities and social sciences, AI also plays an important role in empirical research methods, thus facilitating the transformation of research paradigms in these fields. At present, neuro-symbolic AI, as a new product of the integration of two major factions in the field of artificial intelligence - connectionism and symbolism, has high application value in studying and solving the humanistic and social problems involving massive data due to its learning capability of perceiving the environment as well as reasoning capability of manipulating symbols. The introduction of neuro-symbolic AI is also of great significance for the development of emerging interdisciplinary fields such as digital humanities and computational social sciences. This paper aims to clarify the connections between neuro-symbolic AI and Humanities and social sciences, summarize the latest developing trends and representative applications, and explore a feasible path for the expansion of pluralistic methodologies in Humanities and social sciences to adapt to the age of big data.

Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected the whole world, including Slovakia, there were changes in people's habits and consumer behavior, as well as an intervention in a healthy lifestyle. As a result of the extremely rapid spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, habits have changed in terms of consumer behavior and health, which has also affected young people's lives. The main objective of this study was to identify consumer behavior of young people including their lifestyle, eating habits, and purchasing behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic. In total, 300 respondents up to 35 years participated in the questionnaire survey. Nonparametric and multivariate statistics were applied. The results showed that young respondents did not record decrease in physical activity nor increase in weight. However, the majority of them increased the consumption of nutritional supplements. The most important factors during purchase of healthy food were the taste from previous experiences and the quality. Furthermore, respondents indicated that they did not record an increase neither in using online platforms for fast food delivery nor purchasing food online.

Floods are recognized as a severe natural disaster influenced potentially by anthropogenic activities. Kigali downstream floods were coming from the drainage system and the flow of streams. The study revealed on contribution of rain forecasting in reduction of flood risk in Kigali city, to show how well forecasted rain used to decrease flood risk among urban residents. The objectives were to carry out a flood risk analysis, determining the potential frequencies rainfall occurred and assessing the contribution of rain forecasting on flood risk reduction. The data was for Kigali city in three districts (Nyarugenge, Gasabo and Kicukiro) from 2016 to 2020, collected from literature review on disaster in Kigali city and Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) tool and Microsoft excel was used in analysis. The risk analysis factors were based on deaths, injury, infrastructure loss and crops loss per ha, the prone district is Nyarugenge. The Pearson correlation coefficient between variables mostly had positive correlation and in significate range with flood risks in both districts but on different range with such exception of negative relationship. Nyarugenge district precipitation made positive correlation with infrastructure and deaths, r= 0.138 in range 0<r< 0.25 very low correction; r=0.673 in range 0.50≤r<0.75 high correlation, respectively conclude that the increase of precipitation led to raise both infrastructure loss and deaths. Recommended measures will base on particular features of district (soil type, land use, geology and geomorphology analysis) especially on Nyarugenge district, which is more suspended to the floods to mitigate and adapt flood risks.
Using free-listing technique to develop measures of group consensus: the case of language choice in Ukraine
Authors: Kuchynskyi Oleksandr
Published: November 2022

Free-listing is a useful qualitative technique suitable for exploring how groups of individuals think about a cultural domain and define its focal features. This tool is also well-adapted for identifying shared collective priorities which makes free-listing a helpful tool for ethnographers and students of culture who are often lacking this important information at the beginning of the project or have no fast way of acquiring it by other ethnographic means. One of its advantages includes its ability to elicit emic categories in the data at the early stages of fieldwork, thus securing the data quality in addition to its richness. The present study (N = 1253) conducted in January 2021 is part of a larger project merging cultural characteristics and electoral behavior. The data fragment presented in the paper showcases the utility of a free-listing technique for studying consensual beliefs relevant to language-based cultural identity in a sample of Ukrainian- and Russian-speaking Ukrainians. The study this data was collected for explores whether the territorial cleavage in electoral behavior and language divide as a part of it (Russian vs. Ukrainian) in Ukraine signal consistent differences in underlying shared collective beliefs about success and prestige. The preliminary analysis of free-listed items and emerging categories suggests that there are no substantial differences between the language-based groups regarding the beliefs about success and prestige that lie outside the territorial cleavage whereas substantial differences were identified within cleavage-related categories.
Social-class conditioning of the perception of social inequality in Ukraine
Authors: Krotevych Yevhen , Oksamytna Svitlana
Published: November 2022

In recent decades, domestic sociology has been successfully developing class analysis, i.e. the study of modern Ukrainian society as a class society with the corresponding identification of the structure and composition of social classes and the various effects of class belonging to individuals. The next stage in the development of class analysis in Ukraine was the participation of Ukrainian researchers in the implementation of a representative study under the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) with the main survey module “Social Inequality” and the publication of its analytical results in the monograph “Dynamics of Perception of Social Inequality in Ukraine according to the International Program of Social Research 2009 and 2019” (2020). The analytical work presented in the article is a thorough examination and clarification of the results of the ISSP-2019 study, in particular, regarding the social-class conditioning of the perception of social inequality. A number of research hypotheses were tested: in particular, that social classes differ statistically significantly in terms of emotional perception of social inequality; there is a relationship between support for redistributive policies through changes in the tax burden for people with high incomes and social class; there are statistically significant differences between classes in choosing a dominant strategy for achieving life success; there is a connection between the recognition of the importance of using informal practices to achieve life success and the class position of the individual; there is a connection between the recognition of the importance of socio-ascriptive characteristics for achieving life success and the class position of the individual. It is confirmed that there is a weak connection between the class belonging of individuals and the specified irrelevant variables, as well as the presence of a number of significant differences between social classes regarding the perception of various aspects of social inequality in society, in particular, regarding the classes of the petty bourgeoisie and the working class.
Researching social support on social networking sites: relevance and main challenges
Authors: Lyubenko Roman
Published: November 2022

The article outlines the current state of social support research on social networking sites (SNS), which is a broad category of online services, most prominent among which currently are Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok, and reviews key problems that presently influence the sphere. In particular, it summarizes the patchwork of approaches to conceptualization and operationalization of the term “online social support” (social support on SNS) that is present in the extant literature on the subject, while pointing out the main challenges that have been complicating the efforts toward drawing clearer conceptual boundaries around this term. The article also extensively covers the issue of creating valid, culturally sensitive tools that measure online social support, mentioning factors related to both the limits of the existing tools and the environment that these tools are intended to measure. The peculiar nature of social networking platforms as a research environment is explained at length, including their constantly evolving state, substantial variability across different services, and the privacy and security considerations that affect which primary empirical data about the audience of social networks can be accessed by the researchers. Both the uniqueness of SNS as the medium for exchanging online social support and the importance of improving existing tools for gathering empirical data about the attitudes and behaviors of the sites’ users in order to achieve a more systematic and valid picture of online social support are substantiated. The solutions to the aforementioned problems are not the focus of this particular text. Instead, the overarching goal is to create a comprehensive examination of the issues that exist, the ways in which many of them are interlinked, and the reasons why many of them have not been resolved up to this point, despite relative maturity of the research field. This groundwork will hopefully make the search for solutions significantly more productive.

Authors: Indis Rudiny , Ahmed Mehdi
Published: November 2022

This research was the Ethnography of Communication in Arabic learning to students MA Ubudiyah Bati-Bati. This study started from the author's initial observation about the tradition of many of the 12th-grade students in Arabic learning communication at MA Ubudiyah Bati-Bati found language traditions. These traditions were unique in communication between teachers to students, students to students, and students to teachers. As with the diverse ethnic backgrounds of students. Based on the statement above, the results of this study indicate that educational experience, ethnicity, place of residence, and language use of these affect students' communication style in the classroom. Furthermore, in this study, students used 5 languages in communication in the classroom: Arabic, Banjarese, Indonesian, English, and Javanese. Then the speech patterns of student interactions in this study amounted to 16 patterns of interaction speech used. A pattern in the exchange of learning Arabic. Produces this pattern more from teachers to students because, in it, there are questions and answers. For students to students, there are only a few because they do not have much time to talk to their friends in the class room when learning Arabic. In addition from the results of the analysis of interactions that occurred in learning Arabic, the researchers found 3 words that were often spoken during the learning process until students became accustomed to saying them. That is, “Bujurlah pa”, “Insya Allah”, and “Izin bertanya/izin menjawab”.

Authors: A Adenuga Babafunso , O Adebayo Ayodeji
Published: November 2022

Despite the implementation of pharmacovigilance centers in developing countries and the institution of Therapeutic Committees at different healthcare delivery levels, the use of official medicine safety surveillance tools among healthcare workers is not widespread. In order to provide evidence on the knowledge and practice of healthcare professionals in the public sector on the use of medicine safety reporting tools, a cross-sectional survey using a self-administered questionnaire to assess the use of medicine safety surveillance tools amongst healthcare workers in Eenhana State Hospital was carried out. Data from the questionnaires were entered into the statistical package Epi Info® version 7 for analysis. About fifty percent of the healthcare workers in this study have identified at least one adverse drug reaction (ADR) in their professional practice. In contrast, only 29% reported ADR using at least one officially prescribed medicine safety reporting tool. The nursing cadre seems to have the least knowledge of medicine safety surveillance tools and pharmacovigilance practice. Pre-registration healthcare workers and continuing professional training for registered healthcare workers must be strengthened to encourage the use of medicines safety surveillance tools, in particular, and pharmacovigilance, in general.

Authors: Nazeer Mudasir , Kapoor Kanish , Singh S. P.
Published: November 2022

In this study, the effect of inclusion of fine aggregates on the strength and hydraulic properties of pervious concrete have been investigated. A total of three mixes were casted using three different proportions of fine aggregates at a constant water to cement ratio and powder to aggregate ratio of 0.35 and 0.16 respectively. The partial inclusion of Natural Fine Aggregates (NFA) in place of Natural Coarse Aggregates (NCA) was done in the proportion of 0%, 10% and 20% respectively. The influence of NFA was investigated by performing workability, permeability and compressive strength at different curing periods. It was observed from the results that incorporation fine aggregates in pervious concrete up to 20% increases the compressive strength values significantly. A maximum increment of 17% in compressive strength was seen at 20% of NFA at 28 days of curing. Moreover, it was observed from the microstructure observations that a dense and layered calcium-silicate- hydrate (C-S-H) was seen for mix M20. It was further investigated from energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer that 50-60% of volume was occupied by C-S-H gel for mix M20.

This Working Paper analyses the role and practices of women’s groups in relation to women’s protection in the provinces of North and South Kivu in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Contrasting qualitative materials from communities in Congo with the literature on women’s agency, we explore the spaces, strategies, and repertoires used by women to increase their participation in community protection structures. Using case studies from North and South Kivu, including protection projects supported by ActionAid and Oxfam, we show how women’s leadership groups can constitute an empowering space and vehicle for women’s collective negotiation for protection which spans across several interrelated spheres: domestic, community, and professional, as well as legal, religious, and customary. Through our analysis of how women’s groups shape protection discourses and progressively change practices, we aim to contribute to a more nuanced understanding of what a women-led approach to protection means in practice as well as the challenges and opportunities that women face in order to expand their agency in a conflict-affected and patriarchal context.

Bildung und die Frage nach Gerechtigkeit : Eine gerechtigkeitstheoretische Analyse zentraler Bildungsziele als Erweiterung einer auf Chancengleichheit fokussierten Debatte
Authors: Grübler Raphael
Published: November 2022

Die Dissertation greift das Thema Bildungsgerechtigkeit auf. Eine gängige Deutung gerechter Bildung, die vor allem in der politisch einflussreichen PISA-Studie vorgenommen wird, beschränkt den Gerechtigkeitsgedanken auf den Aspekt der Chancengleichheit. Ausgangspunkt der Dissertation ist daran anknüpfend die These, dass eine alleinige Konzentration auf den bildungsbezogenen Einfluss der sozialen Herkunft, nicht ausreichend ist. Denn eine auf Chancengleichheit reduzierte Gerechtigkeitsbewertung vernachlässigt weitere zentrale Bildungsgedanken und damit verbundene Gerechtigkeitsimplikationen. Der Fokus der Dissertation liegt auf der Analyse der wesentlichen Gerechtigkeitsimplikationen des Bildungsgedankens und dessen zentralen Zielwerten. Es wird erstens untersucht, welche wesentlichen Zielvorstellungen der Bildungsgedanke beinhaltet und welche Gerechtigkeitsurteile dies zur Folge hat. Zweitens wird darüber hinaus anhand der PISA-Daten erörtert, ob eine solch erweiterte Deutung von Bildungsgerechtigkeit im Vergleich zu einer alleinigen Konzentration auf Chancengleichheit abweichende Gerechtigkeitseinschätzungen zur Folge hat.
Method of Transformation of Image Classification Labels into Segmentation Masks

Published: November 2022

Semantic image segmentation plays a crucial role in a wide range of industrial applications and has been receiving significant attention. Unfortunately, image segmentation tasks are notoriously difficult and different industries often require human experts. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been successfully applied in many fields of image segmentation. But all of them still require a huge amount of hand-labeled data for training. A lot of research was conducted in the field of unsupervised and semi-supervised learning, which studies how to shrink the amount of training data at the same time preserving the quality of the model. But still another field of research - transformation of “cheap” (in terms of time, money and human resources) markup into “expensive” is novel. In this work a new approach of generating semantic segmentation masks, using only classification labels of the image, was proposed. Proposed method is based on the GradCam algorithm, which can produce image activation heatmap, using only class label. But GradCams’ heatmaps are raw for final use, so additional techniques and transforms should be applied in order to get final usable masks. Experiments were conducted on the task of detecting defects on steel plates — Kaggle- Severstal: Steel Defect Detection. After that Dice metric was computed using a classical training approach and proposed method: classical approach - 0.621, proposed method - 0.465. Proposed approach requires much less human resources compared to the classical approach. Moreover, after visual inspection of results it is obvious that the proposed approach has successfully completed the task of defect localization.
Protestantismo em Marx – Economia e Teologia
Authors: Bobsin Oneide
Published: November 2022

Problematizaremos no presente artigo a contradição marxiana entre a afirmação unversalizante sobre a religião como ópio do povo e análise favorável aos textos de Martim Lutero sobre comércio e contra a usura. Se Lutero e o luteranismo alemão sofreram duras críticas de Marx pelo fato de a revolução ter nascido na Alemanha na cabeça de um monge, Lutero, e mais tarde renovada pela cabeça de um filósofo, Hegel, tornando-se pouco prática, a mesma avaliação não foi sustentada por Marx a respeito do reformador como o “primeiro economista alemão”. O texto tratará, pois, da relação entre teologia e economia em obras de Marx que se reportam a Martim Lutero.
As melhoras coisas do mundo: um olhar sobre a adolescência a partir do cinema na perspectiva da teologia prática e da psicologia

Refletir sobre a adolescência e a juventude significa pensar nosso tempo e nossa sociedade. A adolescência e a juventude são verdadeiras hermenêuticas da cultura contemporânea. Ao mesmo tempo, refletir sobre esta faixa etária e suas profundas mudanças físicas e crises emocionais e sociais, é uma forma de colocar os saberes das ciências a serviço dessas pessoas. O objetivo deste estudo é, portanto, refletir sobre a adolescência e juventude no Brasil de hoje como forma de entender as grandes mudanças pelas quais passam esses sujeitos, mas também a própria sociedade e a cultura. Isso será feito a partir de análise e descrição densa de um produto da cultura pop, o filme “As melhores coisas do mundo”, de Laís Bondansky. O filme, como uma foto ou um recorte narrativo, nos direcionará o olhar e fornecerá os temas a partir dos quais analisaremos a adolescência e a juventude como espelhos da cultura e da sociedade. Nosso ponto de vista, por outro lado, não é neutro. Toma-se duas perspectivas bem específicas: uma é da psicologia cognitivo comportamental de terceira onda, dando especial atenção às crenças e o papel do mindfulness focando em um estado de atenção plena no momento presente e de aceitação e abertura a novas experiências e a outra é a teologia prática, especificamente olhando o papel da espiritualidade subtendida e sutil na cultura, a hermenêutica da religião vivida. Os resultados desse estudo serão, portanto, interpretações a respeito da adolescência e da juventude, suas potencialidades e vulnerabilidades, que possam subsidiar tanto a psicologia quanto da teologia prática, bem como áreas afins.
A linguagem do Apocalipse: Apontamentos para uma interpretação conectiva e polissêmica
Authors: Nogueira Paulo Augusto de Souza
Published: November 2022

Este artigo propõe uma abordagem do Apocalipse de João que leve em consideração seu poder de produzir e conectar imagens do mundo, por meio das quais são criados quadros complexos para interpretação da realidade. Esses complexos de imagens se conectam com outras na cultura, em diferentes formas de espiritualidade e expressão artística, promovendo novas estruturas cognitivas e emocionais. Nesse sentido, interpretar o Apocalipse na cultura e na história não pode ser apenas ligar textos a fatos, mas recriar as imagens do Apocalipse com outros contextos, potencializando novas leituras. Nesse sentido o texto bíblico é interpretado com mais poder criativo nas experiências religiosas visionárias e nas artes de vanguarda.

JEAN DE LERY E ROGER WILLIAMS E A COMPREENSÃO DO NATIVO AMERICANO EM “VIAGEM À TERRA DO BRASIL” E “A KEY INTO THE LANGUAGE OF AMERICA”
Authors: Barbosa Adriel Moreira
Published: November 2022

Este trabalho ocupa-se de duas literaturas do período colonial: Viagem à Terra do Brasil, escrito em 1578, por Jean de Léry, e A Key Into the Language of América, escrito por Roger Williams, em 1643. A escolha dos personagens e seus textos deve-se ao fato de que ambos representam o pensamento europeu e protestante em diferentes contextos e momentos da colonização americana. O objetivo é comparar a forma como ambos elaboram seu discurso sobre mundo do índio, a partir de algumas referências destacadas de suas obras. Busca-se compreender como estes textos revelam a constituição de um lugar hermenêutico caracterizado pela fronteira entre dois mundo, nascido da estranheza frente ao mundo do outro e o reconhecimento de sua legitimidade e de seus direitos, e do efeito em seu próprio mundo cristão e civilizado, criticado em comparação ao dito selvagem.
COUNSELOR OF COUNSELOR - PREPARED TO LISTEN TO COUNSEL
Authors: Santos Francisco de Assis Souza
Published: November 2022

Pastoral counseling requires those who practice a series of care so that the counselor is not reached, physically, psychologically and mentally, by the different realities heard by him. Usually, people seeking pastoral counseling are seeking answers to their problems and give the counselor the responsibility to lead them in solving the most varied demands. The counselor, for assuming this service as part of his or her pastoral ministry, is subjected to exhausting condition, and it is necessary that he or her psychically protect himself in some way. Thus, being a counselor to another counselor, hereinafter referred to as a pastoral therapist (TP), demands that anyone else do, distinguish what he hears from the person who reports the reason that made her seek this kind of help. The pastoral therapist (TP) must see beyond the pastor counselor or religious leader. Distinguish the human being who provides counseling service and who is also subject to the different types of suffering so far he exposes himself, as much as the people he also listens to. That's why being able to chart paths that preserve the mental health of the counselor and establish their psychic defenses is of paramount importance so that their service can be effective throughout their performance. What is expected of the Pastoral Therapist (TP) is that it can be this support that allows by advising to continue his altruistic task of helping so many who are experiencing difficult moments in life and that favors progressive state of disorder or mental discomfort. To this end, the TP should be competent when making use of different forms of listening for each case to be analyzed. He listens to that he considers the different psychology used as instruments that help the patient who is in treatment with professional psychologists and that can serve as another resource at the service of TP.  Therefore, the performance of the TP aims to present invigorating guidelines in the role of those who act as counselors, providing resources that allow the counselor to protect itself from possible psychic weaknesses. Keywords: Counseling, Pastoral Therapy, Counselor, Pastoral Psychology.
