Los veinte ensayos que conforman este libro, claros ejemplos de dinamismo y vitalidad de la épica de nuestra época, proponen una reflexión epistemológica transdisciplinaria sobre la heroicidad en tanto que categoría estética resignificada al vincularse a poemas extensos y géneros como la narrativa y el teatro escritos o protagonizados por mujeres en clave épica. La voluntad que los une es la de ostentar un doble principio heurístico: la épica y la perspectiva de género, como base para enfocar las producciones épicas de la contemporaneidad a partir de la noción central de la heroicidad.
Beyond Blood: Rethinking Indigenous Identity
Authors: Palmater Pamela
Published: November 2024

Author Pamela Palmater argues that the Indian Act’s registration provisions (status) will lead to the extinguishment of First Nations as legal and constitutional entities. The current status criteria contain descent-based rules akin to blood quantum that are particularly discriminatory against women and their descendants.

Beginning with an historic overview of legislative enactments defining Indian status and their impact on First Nations, the author examines contemporary court rulings dealing with Aboriginal rights and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in relation to Indigenous identity. She also examines various band membership codes to determine how they affect Indigenous identity, and how their reliance on status criteria perpetuates discrimination. She offers suggestions for a better way of determining Indigenous identity and citizenship and argues that First Nations themselves must determine their citizenship based on ties to the community, not blood or status.

Dr. Palmater was subsequently registered as an Indian when Sharon McIvor won her court case against Canada for continued gender discrimination in the Indian Act. Now Palmater, McIvor and others continue the fight for the inclusion of their children and grandchildren excluded by gender discrimination.

Equality Delayed is Equality Denied for Indigenous Women
Authors: McIvor Sharon , Palmater Pamela , Day Shelagh
Published: November 2024

Ce texte se veut une courte histoire du sexisme présent dans la législation canadienne qui touche le peuple autochtone dans la Loi des Indiens. Depuis son élection en 1876, en dépit des nombreux amendements qui ont suivi, les femmes autochtones n’ont jamais été reconnues comme telles. Elles furent traitées comme citoyennes de seconde classe, moins que des parents, encore moins comme Indiennes. Les auteures sont d’avis que cette loi discriminatoire a grandement contribué au sérieux problème des femmes autochtones perdues et assassinées au Canada. Cet article demande au Gouvernement de cesser ses sursis et de finalement agir vers un changement.

 
Shining Light on the Dark Places: Addressing Police Racism and Sexualized Violence against Indigenous Women and Girls in the National Inquiry
Authors: Palmater Pamela
Published: November 2024

Canada has had a long-standing problem with both societal and institutional racism against Indigenous peoples, especially within the justice system. Numerous national inquiries, commissions, and investigations have all concluded that every level of the justice system has failed Indigenous peoples. More recent inquiries indicate that racism against Indigenous peoples is particularly problematic in police forces in Canada. Yet, despite the evidence, little has been done in Canada to act on the recommendations. This has resulted in the over-incarceration of Indigenous peoples, numerous deaths of Indigenous peoples in police custody, and the national crisis of thousands of murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls. This article seeks to highlight the lesser-known problem of police-involved racialized and sexualized abuse and violence against Indigenous women and girls as a root cause of the large numbers of murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls in Canada. It is argued that an in-depth look at police-involved disappearances, sexual assaults, and murders of Indigenous women should be included in a national inquiry into the high rates of murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls. It is hoped that such an investigation under the national inquiry will result in evidence-based analysis and recommendations for legislative and policy-based changes that are consistent with the human rights protections afforded Indigenous women and girls and with the calls for action by Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, various United Nations human rights bodies, and the families, communities, and nations of the Indigenous victims.

Published: November 2024

The tourists’ desire to experience local culture and heritage makes heritage sites an important attraction in destinations. Being considered an inseparable part of cultural and heritage tourism, food is an important aspect that is beneficial for the community’s economic sustainability and the social life of tourists, visitors, and usual diners. This research aimed to determine the assessments of diners on Intramuros restaurants, on the three components of guest experience with the intent of exploring food tourism as a destination attraction to promote this heritage site. It was descriptive-exploratory research using a researcher-made questionnaire to survey the assessment of 75 diner respondents in Intramuros restaurants who were selected through a purposive sampling technique.
The findings of the study suggested that the respondents were satisfied with the three components of the guest experience namely: service product, service environment, and service delivery system. The respondents’ satisfaction with restaurant services offered in the destination played a significant role in their revisit and recommendation intentions where the result related a high level of likelihood of revisit and recommendation intentions among diners. Further, it determined that the top three types of food service preferences are casual dining, fine dining, and banchetto (feast). The top recommendation among five indicators in terms of food tourism activities in Intramuros, a cultural heritage site, was to associate cultural shows with the dining experience.

EVALUATION OF THE REASONS FOR INFORMAL CHANGES OF CADASTRAL ATTRIBUTES OF GOVERNMENT RESIDENTIAL LAYOUTS IN BAUCHI TOWN, NIGERIA
Authors: Wali U , Ghani Z.A
Published: November 2024

In Nigeria, the Land Use Act requires that the cadastral attributes of ownership, size, and use by beneficiaries of statutory land allocation be changed only after obtaining the government's consent. It was observed that this requirement is violated in some residential layouts in Bauchi town. This paper sought the reasons why this is so. Data were collected from a low and medium-density layout where the changes were observed. A purposive sample of seventy-three respondents was interviewed using a designed template. Responses of the respondents were transcribed and coded into themes using the Nvivo 10 Software. The themes were summarised in percentages and the content was described. The reasons for the informal changes to the cadastral attributes of the layouts were found to be difficulty in accessing formal land (97.26%), ignorance of formal regulations (86.30%), and weak development control (84.93%). It is suggested that the government should catalyze the creation of layouts, scale up public enlightenment on policy requirements, and improve the efficiency of land agencies through capacity building and decentralization.

Published: November 2024

The study assessed the impact of Gurara Dam on land use/land cover changes (LULCC) in the Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State. The study made use of geospatial techniques to assess the impact of the dam on land use/land cover changes within the period of study. Landsat data from 2001, 2012 and 2022 were acquired and processed to produce the land use/land cover maps of the area. The identified land use/land cover in the area were Built-up areas, Water bodies, Vegetation, bare land, and Rock outcrops. The Annual rate in land use/landcover changes was analyzed and the result revealed that, during the period 2001-2012, and 2012-2022 water bodies increased at an annual rate of 242% and 97% but reduced at an annual rate of 0.9%between 2012 and 2022. The analysis revealed that all the land use/land cover types identified in the study area recorded a net gain except vegetation. Water bodies gained about 5480 ha from 2001 to 2022. The study concluded that the construction of the Dam has altered the land use land cover dynamics of the area and there is also evidence of deforestation in the study area. The study recommends the control of land use in the basin and uses it as a guide to help in prioritizing the management of the basin and the dam among others.

Published: November 2024

This study examined the relationship between derived precipitation indices and millet in Kano State, Nigeria. Data on monthly rainfall (mm) and millet yield (kg/ha) from 1992-2022 were used for the study. The rainfall data was sourced from NiMet and IITA while the crop yield data was sourced from KNARDA.  The data obtained were subjected to correlation analysis in SPSS environment version 20. The result obtained revealed that a relationship exists between precipitation indices and millet at the onset of rainfall (r=0.421, p=0.018) at the significant level of 1% and negative (r=0.059, p=0.753) at the Cessation period. Also, the study revealed that there were low and negative relations between the rainfall data and millet production in May (r= -0.057, p= 0.760) and June (r=0.193) at a 0.05 significant level. In July (r=0.233), and August a very low and positive relationship was observed between rainfall and millet yield (r=0.156, p=0.401). The result of the study further revealed that a very low and positive relationship was observed between A.G.S.R and Millet yield (r=0.298) and between Millet production with LRS (r=0.194, p=0.296). A markedly and negligible negative relationship was observed between SI and millet yield (r=0.010) at a 0.05 significant level. The study concluded that variation occurred in millet production in Kano state between the onset and cessation period of rainfall received. Based on the findings, the study recommends that medium-maturing varieties of millet should be introduced to minimize the effect of precipitation indices.

Staphylococcus aureus is a foodborne pathogen of serious public health concern due to its high biofilm formation capability. One of the contributing factors to foodborne illnesses is improper cleaning and sanitization of food contact surfaces This study aimed to determine the prevalence of S. aureus with biofilm formation potential (BFP) from various food contact surfaces. A total of 100 samples were obtained, 20 from each of stainless steel spoons, plastic plates, plastic eating bowls, plastic cutting boards and glass cups. Samples were obtained by surface swabbing. The cotton swabs were streaked onto nutrient agar plates and incubated overnight. Colonies obtained were subjected to Gram staining, coagulase, catalase and DNAse tests for the identification of S. aureus. The identified S. aureus strains were subjected to biofilm formation potential assay using crystal violet assay (CV-assay) in polystyrene 96-well microtitre plates. Out of the 100 samples obtained, 26 were found to harbour S. aureus. Moreover, out of the 20 isolates, 2 (10%) were from stainless steel spoons, 8 (40%) from plastic plates, 5 (25%) from plastic-eating bowls, 10 (50%) from plastic cutting boards and 1 (5%) from glass cups. Additionally, 11 (42%) of the strains had strong BFP, 11 (42%) had moderate BFP, 3 (12%) and 1 (4%) had no BFP. Presence of S. aureus with BFP on food contact surfaces should be checked to avoid foodborne outbreaks due to this organism.
Examining Factor Structure of a Widely Used Measure of Psychiatric Symptoms in Collegiate Athletes
Authors: Gavrilova Elena , Donohue Bradley , Allen Daniel N. , Barchard Kimberly
Published: November 2024

The Symptom Checklist 90 – Revised (SCL-90-R; Derogatis, 1994) is one of the most widely utilized measures of general psychiatric distress. However, its factor structure varies across populations, and psychometric properties of this scale have yet to be investigated in athletes. In this study several frequently reported factor structures of the SCL-90-R were examined in 311 collegiate athletes. None of the tested models were a good fit based on Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFI) criteria, although the bi-factor model was reasonable using RMSEA (.06) and AIC (55951) criteria. Explained common variance of the global factor was 73%, reflecting a stronger general factor relative to specific construct factors. Indeed, several items did not significantly load on previously identified factors. Results suggest the SCL-90-R is a good tool to determine general symptom severity of mental health disorders in collegiate athletes.
Systematic Review: Mental Health Screening Tools for Collegiate Athletes
Authors: Cohen-Young Jasmine
Published: November 2024

The mental health of college athletes has become a priority for the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and for athletic departments across numerous Colleges and Universities. Sport social work has limited research exploring empirical evidence on the use and effectiveness of specific mental health assessments for the population of college athletes. College athletes experience a plethora of stressors and mental health concerns that will require the use of mental health assessments to determine the appropriate level of care. A systematic review was conducted utilizing the Cochrane Handbook of Systematic Reviews for Interventions. An initial search of sport social work literature yielded 1,199 articles. After the application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, five articles remained that met the full criteria for inclusion. Results indicate there are mental health assessment tools that have empirical data supporting their use with college athletes. Although appropriate mental health screening tools were identified, future research is necessary to expand the breadth of empirical data that supports additional mental health assessment tools for specific use with the population of college athletes. These tools should include a positive psychology component to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health care in the college athlete population and increase their likeliness to engage in mental health services.
Quantifying the Tip Leakage Vortex Wandering in a Low-Speed Axial Flow Fan via URANS Simulation
Authors: Lendvai Bálint , Benedek Tamás
Published: November 2024

The tip leakage vortex is a dominant noise and aerodynamic loss source of low-speed axial flow fans. The tip leakage vortex often has an unsteady behavior, like the periodic motion of the vortex core: the so-called vortex wandering. This periodic vortex wandering results in additional noise, aerodynamic loss, and an oscillation in the moment acting on the blading, which causes an unfavorable vibration of the rotor. In the research campaigns focusing on vortex wandering, complicated measurement techniques (PIV) or high-fidelity but computationally costly simulations are commonly used. The present paper aims to introduce a relatively cost-effective unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulation-based investigation method of vortex wandering. The capabilities of the proposed technique are presented through a low-speed axial flow fan case study.

Authors: Akman Direkçi Emine , Boyacıoğlu İnci
Published: November 2024

In the complex landscape of human decision-making and behaviour, several psychological constructs play a crucial role in shaping people's attitudes towards the past, present, and future. This study examines the interplay between how we perceive our future selves, our consideration of future consequences, and our general time perspectives aiming to deepen our understanding of temporal cognition and its implications for human behavior. The study explored how these factors interact and potentially influence our decisions and behaviour. Through a web survey questionnaire data was collected from the university students. Quantitative analyses explored the associations between individuals' levels of consideration of future consequences, future self-continuity, and their temporal orientations as measured by Zimbardo's Time Perspective Inventory. Results of the study suggests complex associations between these constructs, with individuals' time perspectives and future self-continuity exerting significant influences on consideration of future consequences. By understanding these relationships, gained valuable insights into how individuals make decisions that bridge the gap between their present and future selves and its association with temporal orientations. We discussed implications of the present study on the consideration of future consequences and it provides insights for future investigations.
Power Dynamics of Cross-Border Conflict in Lebanon and Syria
Authors: Khatib Lina
Published: November 2024

This paper identifies the main conflict actors in cross-border conflict across Lebanon and Syria as being Hezbollah and the Syrian Arab Armed Forces, and highlights the power hierarchies between those actors as well as between them and ordinary people in those border regions. The paper shows that in those two countries, both state and non-state actors (de factor authorities) are the main conflict actors who are invested in the conflict status quo that they profiteer from—the state is therefore also part of the problem. The paper additionally argues that there is a need to understand hierarchies of power among conflict actors and how they position local communities at the bottom of the conflict economy pyramid. The paper shows that local communities end up entangled in the conflict economy for the sake of economic coping and survival. Often, both conflict actors and local communities act pragmatically rather than ideologically for the sake of economic survival or gain, but conflict actors trap local communities in the coping economy by removing alternatives, cultivating relationships of dependency by coping communities on major conflict actors. The paper uses these conclusions to present recommendations for conflict response policies. The paper is published as part of the Cross-Border Conflict, Policy and Trends (XCEPT) research programme funded by UK International Development.

Authors: Mwesige Richard , Nyangoma Beatrice , Nyamuyonjo David , Kabasinguzi Brenda , Atuhaire Edgar
Published: November 2024

Digital financial inclusion (DFI) especially among rural women remains a significant challenge in Uganda. Despite the potential benefits of fintech’s, limited technology self-efficacy (TSE) among rural women hampers their effective usage. This study examined how TSE influences the relationship between fintech usage and DFI among these women. Data were gathered via a structured questionnaire from 384 women vendors in Mbale main market, employing an explanatory, quantitative, cross-sectional design. Using hierarchical regression and Hayes PROCESS Macro V 4.0, the study assessed both direct relationships and the moderating effect of TSE.  Results indicate that both fintech usage and TSE positively impact DFI, with TSE significantly enhancing the association between fintech usage and DFI. Based on these findings, the study recommends that policymakers support fintech adoption through targeted education programs to improve TSE among rural women. Additionally, user-friendly interfaces and supportive systems are crucial in overcoming technological barriers and boosting confidence. However, limitations include the study’s cross-sectional approach, focus on women vendors in a specific district, and potential social desirability bias. Future research should consider longitudinal studies, cultural aspects of fintech adoption, and mixed-methods data collection to deepen understanding of the variables.
