Sobre odios, desconocimientos y tensiones. La épica homérica como espacio de configuración antropológica
Authors:   10.47044/2527-080X.2024.v16.4047, Colombani María Cecilia
Published: February 2025

La palabra es un elemento capital en la configuración del escenario poético de la Grecia Antigua. La prehistoria de alétheia nos conduce a las huellas de la sabiduría griega y del lógos theókrantos. El terreno es el lugar en el que alétheia y arkhé, verdad y poder, intersectan sus dominios y plasman la configuración del lógos que deviene palabra mágico-religiosa. Es en este punto de contacto donde la tradición homérica se ubica. No puede comprenderse el valor cultural de Ilíada y Odisea sin este complejo entramado en el que se configura una peculiar construcción antropológica. Proponemos entrar en esa prehistoria para rastrear algunos rasgos de la llamada palabra mágico-religiosa en el marco general de la tradición épica. En este marco, una variable constitutiva de la configuración antropológica es el poder como motor de la tensión. Dioses y hombres hallan en ese suelo narrativo su configuración con intersecciones y tensiones, de las cuales Ilíada es un exponente. El desconocimiento y las tensiones no se resuelven en el ámbito de la divinidad, sino que, por el contrario, trasladan sus odios al campo de batalla. A partir de estos presupuestos, proponemos relevar los tópicos recortados en el canto I de Ilíada.
Consideraciones sobre el epyllion de Orfeo en la Geórgica 4 de Virgilio
Authors: Bisignano Julia Alejandra
Published: February 2025

Uno de los rasgos que han hecho cuestionar la adscripción de Geórgicas al género didáctico es la inserción del epyllion al final del libro 4, puesto que plantea un cambio de tono, y en su forma y tema trasciende el género didáctico. A su vez, su carácter trágico lo propone como una proyección a la siguiente obra de Virgilio, Eneida. En el presente trabajo observaremos las características estilísticas y léxicas que presenta el epyllion de Orfeo a fin de poner en relieve el sentido metaliterario que subraya el conflicto entre géneros y permite la exploración de los límites del género poético. La maestría de su elaboración denota no sólo la caracterización del texto en tanto componente épico como elemento secundario que permite la variación y produce un enriquecimiento genérico, sino la demarcación de la esencia didáctica de la obra a partir, entre otras cosas, de la introducción de un aition sobre la creación de las abejas, y de sus protagonistas, representantes por excelencia de mitos etiológicos: Orfeo, que representa el origen de la poesía, de la música (en lo particular) y del arte (en lo general), y Aristeo, origen de la apicultura y primer pastor y trabajador.
El género épico y los semina rerum: de Lucrecio a Ovidio
Authors: Pégolo Liliana
Published: February 2025

El presente trabajo tiene como finalidad hacer una revisión del concepto de “género literario y/o discursivo”, particularmente en la Antigüedad grecolatina, con el fin de analizar la excedencia genérica del poema lucreciano De Rerum Natura (s. I a.C.), estimado como un ejemplo de la poesía didáctica en lengua latina. Los pasajes textuales del extenso poema epicúreo demostrarán la búsqueda de nuevas dimensiones épicas por parte de Lucrecio, que se afanó en producir poesía filosófica en latín, buscando hollar terrenos desconocidos para la lengua del Lacio. Asimismo, considerando De Rerum Natura como un “texto abierto”, se advertirá una dialéctica genérico-lingüística con autores posteriores, tales como Virgilio y Ovidio, quienes exhiben relaciones controversiales con la épica homérica tradicional en la Égloga 6 y en Metamorfosis, respectivamente.

Duas estreias precoces: óperas de Donizetti e Mercadante no Rio de Janeiro do Primeiro Reinado (1828–1831)
Authors: Santos Berçot Fernando
Published: February 2025

Nossa análise focaliza a atividade teatral no Rio de Janeiro do Primeiro Reinado, destacando a estreia de duas óperas italianas no Imperial Theatro São Pedro de Alcântara, inaugurado em 1826. As primeiras récitas de L’ajo nell’imbarazzo, de Donizetti, e Elisa e Claudio, de Mercadante, alcançaram sucesso junto a um público já bastante familiarizado com o repertório de Rossini, e que começava a travar contato com a música de compositores da mesma geração, os quais dominariam as temporadas da capital na década de 1840. Naquela época, o interesse pelos espetáculos e as colunas de crítica teatral começavam a consolidar-se na imprensa do Rio de Janeiro, mas a instabilidade política e econômica do país era uma constante ameaça ao funcionamento do teatro e à manutenção da Companhia Italiana responsável pelas encenações operísticas.

Authors: Bispo Antonio Alexandre
Published: February 2025

Os quatro ensaios aqui compilados enfocam cinco compositores brasileiros dos séculos XIX e XX em sua inserção em contextos internacionais de atuação, reflexão e pesquisa, evidenciando assim o dinâmico trânsito de concepções e tendências estéticas e técnicas que caracteriza muito da história da música no Brasil. Os dois primeiros textos tratam de Henrique Alves de Mesquita e Elpídio de Brito Pereira, revelados em suas conexões com a França e mais especificamente com Paris. No terceiro, a relação de Carlos Gomes com a Itália é examinada “a partir de uma posição italiana e ítalo-brasileira”, o que significa dizer aqui pelas lentes de Vincenzo Cernicchiaro. No quarto e último texto, José Maurício Nunes Garcia e Heitor Villa-Lobos são considerados no âmbito dos estudos das relações Alemanha-Brasil e Áustria-Brasil.

Impact of Environmental, Social and Governance Factors on Company Success in Selected Coal Companies in Shanxi Coking Coal Group: Basis of a Strategic Business Model
Authors: Li Boran
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT
This research investigated the environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices of selective coal companies in Shanxi, China, including the primary factors that impact company success, particularly contributions to the betterment of environment, the well-being of social communities and governance with respect to sustainability. A self-crafted survey questionnaire was floated to five selected subsidiaries of Shanxi Coking Coal Group, a topnotcher coal producer in the Chinese coal industry. The researcher gathered data on the degree of implementation of ESG management practices. Applying descriptive and inferential statistics enabled the researcher to weigh the ESG factors that impacted on their “company success” and from the results, designed an operational model for the Shanxi coal subsidiaries. The findings of the study showed that addressing environmental issues was not a priority concern among the Shanxi coal subsidiaries even though the government imposed draconian measures. Meanwhile from the multiple regression results, the research yielded significant environmental, social, and governance variables that impact company success, namely, efficient use of water, employee rewards and recognition and generous compensation. In addition, statistical results yielded a Business Strategy Model that can serve as a conceptual framework for coal companies implementing ESG practices for sustainable development. The model can be used for further research.

The present study was conducted in Istanbul with the objective of evaluating the effects of perinatal depression on maternal experience. It presents an original study conducted on behalf of Clements University under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Kürşat Şahin Yıldırımeri and Prof. Dr. Derya Berrak with the participation of 473 mothers. The study population comprised mothers between the ages of 18 and 45, selected from diverse neighbourhoods across Istanbul, considering socioeconomic, cultural and demographic diversity. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and psychological assessment scales. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was utilised to assess participants for symptoms of depression during the perinatal period. In addition, a range of scales were utilised to assess variables such as maternal attachment, parenting stress and perception of social support. The study's findings indicated that mothers grappling with perinatal depression encounter significant challenges in their maternal experiences. Specifically, it was observed that mothers with elevated symptoms of depression exhibited an impaired perception of maternal identity, augmented levels of parenting stress, and diminished mother-child bonding. The study also observed that depression was more prevalent among groups with low socioeconomic status. Furthermore, the study determined that an absence of social support significantly exacerbates the severity of depression. The study revealed that 68% of the participants indicated a lack of sufficient social support during the perinatal period. Furthermore, 54% of the depressed mothers reported feelings of emotional inadequacy in their parenting capacities. The study emphasised the critical role of early intervention and psychosocial support programs in mitigating the effects of depression. The study thus reveals perinatal depression to be a significant public health problem, impacting not only the maternal psychological well-being but also the emotional and cognitive development of offspring and the broader family dynamic.The study's findings underscore the necessity for early diagnosis of perinatal depression, effective management of risk factors, and the development of comprehensive support programs for affected mothers.
Gender Equality in The Implementation of The Independent Curriculum at Madrasah Elementary School: A Case Study at Min 1 Banyumas
Authors:   UIN Prof. KH. Saifuddin Zuhri Purwokerto, Indonesia, Chasanah Maghfirotun , BS Abdul Wachid ,   UIN Prof. KH. Saifuddin Zuhri Purwokerto, Indonesia
Published: February 2025

This study aims to analyze the implementation of gender equality in the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum at MIN 1 Banyumas. The Merdeka Curriculum promotes the principles of inclusivity and equality in the learning process, which includes providing equal opportunities for students regardless of gender. Although policies and the curriculum support gender equality, challenges in its practical application are still found, both in task distribution and students' perceptions. The task distribution, which is still based on gender stereotypes, such as female students being more often assigned "feminine" tasks and male students being involved in physical tasks, shows the strong influence of social norms in society. Additionally, students' perceptions of gender roles are still influenced by the social views that develop outside of school, which affects their choices in activities and career aspirations. Teachers at MIN 1 Banyumas are trying to change this perception by giving students the opportunity to explore various roles without being bound by gender norms. However, these changes require time and continuous support from various parties, including parents and the community. This study concludes that although the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum provides a strong foundation for gender equality, the biggest challenge lies in changing social perceptions and long-standing habits in society. A holistic approach involving the active role of all parties is needed to achieve more effective gender equality in the educational environment.

Introduction: Choornam is a naturopathic medicine which is using from thousands of years. In Sanskrit; the meaning of choornam is powder. Choornam is the mixture of
powdered herbs and minerals. Seborrheic dermatitis is a skin condition that mainly affects the scalp. Triphala choornam is meant for skin disorders such as seborrheic dermatitis
[1]. Here we are discussing a case of Stevens Johnson Syndrome that occurs due to adverse effect of triphala choornam. Stevens Johnson syndrome is a serious life threatening
skin disorder. It initially characterized by red or purple rashes, then turns into blisters and scaly patches. It mainly occurs when body adversely reacts with certain drugs. A
type of skin disease that found in scalp is seborrheic dermatitis. In naturopathy there have certain treatment options for seborrheic dermatitis. From that one of the important
treatment option is triphala choornam.
Case Report: A 48 year old female patient took triphala choornam for seborrheic dermatitis. After 1 week she was admitted to a tertiary care hospital with the complaints of
itching, rashes and scaly eruptions all over the body for 5 days. Her blood culture report shows the presence of staphylococcus warneri& staphylococcus epidermidis. ANA profile
shows SM at borderline and Ds DNA positive. Her ESR and CRP levels were found to be elevated. The condition was diagnosed as Stevens Johnson syndrome. The patient was
treated with antibiotics, corticosteroids, analgesics and topical agents. Here, we reporting the first case of Stevens Johnson syndrome induced by triphala choornam (a naturopathic

Published: February 2025

Effective healthcare decision-making [10] can be challenging due to the vast complexity and volume of health data. Traditional methods of disease diagnosis and risk assessment often rely on manual analysis and expert interpretation, which can be time-consuming and prone to human error. This is especially critical when managing chronic conditions such as heart [1] disease, diabetes [3], Parkinson’s [2], and cardiovascular disease [4], where early detection can significantly improve outcomes. This research presents a multi-disease prediction tool that utilizes advanced machine learning [8] techniques, including Logistic Regression [6] and Support Vector Machine (SVM [7]), to provide accurate predictions of disease risk based on user-provided data. The tool offers real-time insights by analyzing demographic, medical, and lifestyle factors, facilitating proactive health management. Data preprocessing strategies, such as handling data imbalances and feature scaling [16], were employed to improve model accuracy. By providing reliable predictions, this tool aids healthcare providers and individuals in making informed decisions for early intervention. The project demonstrates the potential of machine learning [8] in transforming healthcare practices by enabling accessible, data-driven disease risk assessments.

Published: February 2025

The world has seen the advent of numerous illnesses that cannot be medically recognized, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Autism, now called autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is a neuro developmental disorder. ASD is a developmental disability caused by differences in a person’s brain. People with ASD may behave, interact and learn in ways that are different from other people. They may have trouble with social interactions and with interpreting and using nonverbal and verbal communication. Autism is known as a “spectrum” disorder because there is wide variation in the type and severity of symptoms people experience. People of all genders, races, ethnicities, and economic backgrounds can be diagnosed with ASD. Like all people on the autism spectrum, people don’t naturally read social cues and might find it difficult to make friends. They can get so stressed by a social situation that they shut down. They don’t make much eye contact or small talk. People on the spectrum who are high-functioning can also be very devoted to routine and order. They might have repetitive and restrictive habits that seem odd to others. Early diagnosis based on different health and physiological characteristics seems feasible with the rising usage of machine learning-based models in predicting many human diseases. The proposed study with aims to use deep learning techniques like CNN, VGG16, VGG19, Densenet, Alexnet to predict the likelihood of ASD with a better degree of precision and minimal error rate and better accuracy. Further study is also required to find out much more optimized technique for the ASD detection

Published: February 2025

Fluid flow analysis over an airfoil is crucial for understanding aerodynamic performance including lift, drag and stability. This work presents a numerical analysis and investigation into the design of airfoils focusing on the NACA 4-digit series. The research employs ANSYS simulation tools to model and analyze the aerodynamics of airfoils. NACA 4-digit airfoil generator is utilized to import the airfoil geometry of NACA 2412 series. A C-shaped computational domain is considered as the fluid domain in which the airfoil geometry is imported. The simulation results provide the variation of pressure and velocity of air while moving over the airfoil. Also, the effects of lift and drag forces are analyzed by plotting the graphs between co-efficient of lift vs time and co-efficient of drag vs time.

This study explored undergraduates’ perception of accessibility and utilization of electronic universityin university libraries in Nasarawa State. The study was guided by two objectives and two research questions. A questionnaire was used as the instrument for data collection. Checklist was also used to ascertain the availability of the electronic information resources in the libraries understudied. The study adopted survey research design with a population of 4289 registered 300 Level student library users. The population consisted of 3819 undergraduate students of Federal University, Lafia, 146 Nasarawa State University, Keffi and 324 undergraduates of Bingham University.300Level student was used, been that they have stayed long in the school system and have already familiarize themselves with the electronic information resources available in the library. The descriptive statistics of percentage, frequency, mean and standard deviations was used to answer research question while chi-square was used to test hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that there are several available electronic information resources such as e-books, e-journals, e-newspapers, e-magazines, e-preprints, CD-ROM, e-projects, e-lecture notes, e-research reports, online databases, and internet services in the two universities libraries sample. The findings revealed that the available electronic information resources, though accessible, but were not sufficient for adequate use by the respondents. Considerably, majority of the respondents have a positive perception of electronic information resources and services. Based on the result of findings, that increase in accessibility and utilization of electronic information resources by undergraduate’s student in the three surveyed universities will lead to increase in learning, research and be beneficial to undergraduate, researchers, university community and librarians. Based on the result of findings, it is therefore concluded that undergraduate perception on accessibility and utilization of electronic information resources in the three surveyed universities is to a high extent and will increase if the challenges identified by the target area are looked into and also if the listed electronic information resources are made available to the library patrons, it was recommended that a well-articulated and sustained effort is required to provide information and communication technology (ICT) facilities (Internet) in the university libraries to make information accessible to the students thereby continually meeting their information need and use.

Published: February 2025

The purpose of the study was to find out the relationship between the personal factors and librarians use of digital tools for collection development in Anambra State. Correlational research design was adopted for the study. The population for the study comprised 24 collection development librarians in the two public university (Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka and Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Igbariam) libraries in Anambra State. The sample size for the study was made up of 24 librarians in public university libraries in Anambra State. Data were collected using questionnaire from the 24 librarians through the help of three postgraduate students as research assistants. Data were analyzed using Pearson‟s Product Moment Correlation. The findings of the study revealed that while a very positive relationship existed between librarians‟ self-efficacy and their use of digital tools for collection development, a negative attitude existed between librarians‟ computer anxiety and their use of digital tools for collection development.

Authors: Mahdi Noor Mahmood , Hadi Araa Ali
Published: February 2025

To identify a sympathomimetic medication, pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, a novel, profoundly delicate, and explicit spectrofluorometric technique has been devised. The current technique produced a highly luminous product that was measured at 532 nm (excitation at 475 nm) by derivatization with 2-Chloro-7-Nitrobenzo ‐2‐Oxa‐1, 3‐Diazole in phosphate buffer at pH 7.8. The fluorescence intensity and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride concentration were shown to have a linear relationship and strong correlation at optimal conditions, ranging from 0.5 to 5 mg/mL-1. The suggested approach was effectively used to test for pseudoephedrine hydrochloride in commercial pharmaceutical formulations with high precision and accuracy, free from common additive interference. A statistical analysis of the data using a recognized methodology revealed good agreement and demonstrated that the accuracy and precision did not differ significantly. The reaction's stoichiometry was established, and the reaction route was hypothesized.

Authors: Kisselyova Tatyana , Singh Angrej
Published: February 2025

Understanding the factors affecting the participation of women in paid work is necessary to assess the effectiveness of government programs aimed at reducing the gender gap in employment and improving working conditions for women. The purpose of the study is to obtain reliable and reasonable conclusions about the best practices and strategies for economic support for victims of domestic violence. This literature review studies the historical dynamics of women's employment in paid work and analyzes the factors affecting this process. Methodologically, the study uses a systematic review of the literature, a comparative analysis, a qualitative analysis of the data, and the systematization of information. A comparative analysis of different countries' approaches reveals the most effective practices, taking into account legislative acts, social programs, and economic initiatives. Examples from the USA, Austria, Sweden, and other countries show that security orders, police intervention, crisis centers, and economic support programs are key components. In Kazakhstan, recent legislative measures and the creation of crisis centers have become a step forward, although there are problems in solving issues of psychological and economic violence. The study emphasizes the importance of a multifaceted approach to the fight against domestic violence, including legal, preventive, protective, and economic support measures.
Holistic Health, Yoga and Social Change Among Young Women in the Arabian Gulf Post-COVID-19
Authors: Rajkhan Osama
Published: February 2025

The environment guides human imagination and steers life processes. In times of adversity, like during the COVID-19 pandemic, the imagination of both sexes was stimulated and formed new experiences in the mind that reshaped the way of social interaction and order between all members of society. In the pursuit of survival and staying well, many young adults in the Arab Gulf region, mostly female, explored holistic health to prevent infection with inspired creativity.  As women face more challenges in life than men and have different future needs, COVID-19 appears to have stimulated the social acceptance of gender empowerment. In large part this was due to a combination of two elements - national female empowerment projects; provided by increased market opportunities and certain freedoms, like driving an automobile and the freedom to live alone; and interest in Holistic Health preventions, imagined as an efficient way not only for preventing infection and family chronic diseases in old age but also increasing intergenerational social harmony. Outdoors Yoga was such an intervention independently sought by YAW.  Based on personal conversations (N=800, ages between 21 yrs. and 31 yrs.) in three Arab Gulf countries between 2022 and 2023, this paper reviews the effect of the imagination on gender behavioral choices for staying alive and well in the new environment of uncertainty. It found that Covid-19 unequivocally strengthened the female element's role in society's affairs.
The Impact of Information and Communication Technologies on Gender Aspects in the Health System: A Systematic Review
Authors: Spankulova Lazat , Asanova Zhuldyz
Published: February 2025

This article explores the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and mobile healthcare technologies (mHealth) to manage performance in medical institutions and promote social transformation, focusing on gender aspects. ICT helps to optimize decision-making processes, increase transparency, and enhance analytical capabilities. However, the introduction of these technologies can both reduce and increase gender inequality, depending on their design and context of use. The aim of the study is to identify the opportunities and risks associated with the use of ICT and mHealth in the context of gender dynamics. A systematic literature review method was applied within the study's framework, including articles selected following the PRISMA methodology used in systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Of the 610 publications found on the Scopus platform, 48 articles directly related to ICT and PMM in the health sector were selected and analyzed. ICT and mHealth technologies significantly improve operational efficiency and expand healthcare access. Persistent gender barriers, such as limited technical skills and unequal access to technology, hinder women's participation in mHealth programs. The data was updated in November 2024. Today, the possibilities of using ICT to support various processes in medical organizations are highly diverse. Managers at all levels must understand and can evaluate how each technology contributes to the fulfillment of specific tasks and increases overall efficiency.
Child Poverty and Educational Access: A Gender Perspective in Kazakhstan
Authors: Nurekenova Elvira , Baitekova Ayaulym
Published: February 2025

Access to education for girls is among the global challenges strongly linked to poverty reduction, economic development, and social equity. Despite progress in narrowing gender disparities, significant gaps persist in regions where economic and demographic pressures prevail. In Kazakhstan, these challenges are compounded by uneven access to education, income disparities, and demographic dynamics. The current study explored the socio-economic and demographic factors influencing poverty levels and access to education. Six hypotheses were developed to analyze relationships between demographic structures, household income and expenditures, and educational access focusing on girls. Multivariate and univariate analyses assessed their impact on poverty depth and severity, preschool and secondary education coverage, and enrollment rates. The findings revealed that boys aged 0–14 significantly influenced poverty levels, while girls in the same age group showed no comparable effect. This reflects societal norms prioritizing boys’ education due to their perceived role as breadwinners, while girls are often deprioritized. Household income was also confirmed as a key determinant of access to education, particularly at the primary level, which forms the foundation for future opportunities. The results highlight the necessity of establishing strong social values and institutions that promote gender equality and women’s empowerment. The absence of such an environment hinders progress toward achieving the goals of gender equality.

Authors: Akhmetkyzy Assel , Birzhanova Zhanel
Published: February 2025

Gender-based public policy is crucial for ensuring equal opportunities for men and women across all spheres of life. The objective of this study is to analyze gender inequality trends in Kazakhstan from 2013 to 2023 by focusing on key social and economic indicators, such as political representation, educational attainment, labor force participation, and wage disparities. The study employs K-means clustering to group Kazakhstan's regions into clusters based on gender inequality indicators, such as the Gender Inequality Index (GII), wage gap, maternal mortality, and political representation. The data used in this study come from official statistics provided by the Bureau National of Statistics of the Republic of Kazakhstan and international organizations such as the United Nations from 2013 to 2023. The analysis revealed that Cluster 0 had the lowest gender inequality, with a Gender Inequality Index (GII) of 0.34 and a 27% wage gap. Cluster 1, with a GII of 0.37, exhibited higher disparities, particularly in adolescent birth rates and wage gaps (33%). Cluster 2, with the highest inequality (GII of 0.41), also showed a 32.73 maternal mortality rate and a 24% wage gap. These findings underscore the persistent challenges in gender equality, especially in the areas of economic and political participation, despite improvements in educational access. The study's implications are significant, highlighting the need for targeted policies to reduce wage disparities, improve political representation for women, and address maternal health. These insights can guide policymakers in prioritizing gender-focused interventions for sustainable development, thereby contributing to the broader goal of achieving long-term gender equality in Kazakhstan.
