„Je to jiné, než jak to vypadá v médiích.“
Authors: Kawulok Josef
Published: October 2024

To understand the causes of political dissatisfaction is of great importance in the Czech Republic. Unlike in traditional democracies, it is satisfaction or dissatisfaction with politics that affects the degree of legitimacy of its democratic system. Existing knowledge offers several possible explanations of this phenomenon. The most universal among them is the public assessment of the quality of various aspects of politics and politicians. Following this, this article argues that these findings lack complexity, because they do not reflect the perspective of politicians. The article is based on the assumption that the political (dis)satisfaction and legitimacy of democracy are created in a cyclical process of mutual interaction between the public and politics. So, if the public formulates certain policy change requirements, politicians can potentially respond to them. The main problem is that they do not do that and existing research has no explanation for this. Based on an analysis of interviews with Czech MPs, this article argues that politicians do not respond adequately to public demands because their experience with politics is organised in a specific way. The public organises its experience with politics differently, because media news are the main source of its information about politics. In the form of the organisation of political experience of MPs, it is essential that they perceive political phenomena in a broader context, that they differentiate the degree of importance and relevance of their own experience with them in a specific way, and that they also transform the meaning of some of their aspects. In their perspective, it is, therefore, not the existing form of politics nor even the politicians themselves that should change, it is the public that should change.

Green synthesis on performance characteristics of a direct injection diesel engine using sandbox seed oil
Authors: Veerasamy Arunachalam , Pancharam Naveenchandran , Pandian Balu , Rajendran Silambarasan
Published: October 2024

The potential for waste management can be enhanced by the recovery and utilisation of waste biomass. In this work, we used analytical n-hexane to chemically extract sandbox oil, and we followed it up with a single transesterification step to turn it into biodiesel. Diesel and biodiesel were mixed to make five fuel samples (diesel, B20, B40, B50, and B100). These fuel samples were then burned in a compression ignition engine test bed to assess their performance and ascertain their emission characteristics. The test fuels yielded 5.2 kW of rated power from an unmodified single-cylinder diesel engine. It has been found that combustion–ignition engines can effectively use sandbox biodiesel as a biofuel. Pollution is also decreased by burning biofuels. As to the test findings, B20 (20% biodiesel and 80% diesel) outperformed other automobiles with respect to high cylinder pressure and heat release rate, reducing hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, and smoke emissions by 12.5%, 35.5%, and 38.5%, respectively. The results so far are similar to diesel.
Traceability and analysis method for measurement laboratory testing data based on intelligent Internet of Things and deep belief network
Authors: He PeiDong , Li XiaoJun , Shen WenQi , Deng ShuYu , Xiao Li , Zhang Yang Fan
Published: October 2024

A traceability and analysis method for measurement laboratory testing data based on the intelligent Internet of Things (IoT) and deep belief network (DBN) is proposed to address the issue of low accuracy in identifying anomalies in measurement testing data and difficulty in identifying the causes of anomalies. First, a data analysis system for the metrology laboratory is designed based on an intelligent IoT architecture of “cloud-management-edge-end.” Then, the Gaussian Bernoulli-Restricted Boltzmann machine is introduced to improve the DBN model, which is deployed on the edge side for learning the ledger data sample library to determine the anomaly detection data of the metrology device. Finally, a stacked denoising autoencoder model is used in the cloud center to extract historical electricity consumption curve features, and the cause of anomalies is determined by calculating the cosine similarity between it and the target device feature curve to complete traceability analysis. Based on the selected dataset, the proposed method is experimentally demonstrated, and the results show that its traceability accuracy and time consumption are 88.72% and 3.949 s, respectively, which can meet the detection requirements of the metrology laboratory.
ELMA KABUĞUYLA BESLENEN TENEBRIO MOLITOR LARVALARININ FİZİKOKİMYASAL ÖZELLİKLERİ VE LARVAL FERMANTASYONUN ELMA KABUĞUNUN FENOLİK PROFİLİNE ETKİSİ
Authors: Demirbaş Yıldız Sedanur , Gülsünoğlu Konuşkan Zehra
Published: October 2024

Bu çalışma, Tenebrio molitor larvalarının elma kabuklarını değerlendirme potansiyeli ve larval fermantasyonun elma kabuğunda bulunan fenolik maddeler, larvaların gelişme potansiyelleri ve fizikokimyasal özellikleri üzerindeki etkilerini araştırmayı amaçlamıştır. Mısır unu ve elma kabuğu farklı oranlarda (1:1, 1:2, 1:4) karıştırılmış ve fermantasyon 12 gün boyunca gerçekleştirilmiştir. 1:1 oranındaki besiyerinde (EMB) önemli değişiklikler gözlenmiş ve larva ağırlığı, kontrol (%58.6) ile karşılaştırıldığında %62.2 oranında artış göstermiştir. 12. gün sonunda larvaların kül, protein ve karbohidrat içeriklerinde artış, ancak yağ içeriğinde azalma görülmüştür. EMB besiyerinin fenolik içeriği ve antioksidan aktiviteleri başlangıç değerlerine kıyasla önemli ölçüde artarak 8. günde maksimum seviyesine ulaşmıştır. EMB besiyerinde dört farklı kuersetin türevi tespit edilmiştir: Kuersetin-3-rutinozit, kuersetin-3-O-glukozit, kuersetin-3-O-galaktozit ve kuersitrin. 8 gün sonra, kuersitrin ve kuersetin-3-O-glukozit miktarları başlangıç değerlerine kıyasla önemli ölçüde artmıştır. Bu bulgular, T. molitor larvalarının gıda atıklarını fenolik salınım veya dönüşüm yoluyla değerli fonksiyonel gıda bileşenlerine dönüştürebileceğini göstermektedir.

Authors: Costa Ramini Pietra de Ávila Ferreira , Gomes Roberta Garcia , Silva Vitória Cristina , Resck Zélia Marilda Rodrigues , Martinez Maria Regina , Sanches Roberta Seron
Published: October 2024

Objetivo: compreender como ocorre a notificação de eventos adversos sob a ótica de profissionais de enfermagem. Métodos: estudo qualitativo, realizado com 38 profissionais de enfermagem. Coletaram-se os dados por meio de um formulário eletrônico composto por caracterização pessoal e profissional e por perguntas norteadoras. Para a análise dos dados de caracterização, utilizou-se estatística descritiva e para os qualitativos, análise de conteúdo na modalidade temática. Resultados: participaram 21 enfermeiros e 17 técnicos de enfermagem, em sua maioria, mulheres, jovens, de instituições hospitalares de quatro estados brasileiros. Emergiram duas categorias: Notificação do evento adverso: mais uma tarefa a ser cumprida no cotidiano de trabalho e Notificação e tratamento institucional dos eventos adversos: da abordagem pessoal à processual, com subcategorias. Conclusão: as notificações enfocam o preenchimento do instrumento institucional e identifica-se falta de clareza sobre o que são eventos adversos. Persevera uma cultura punitiva, no entanto, parece haver um movimento que sinaliza para uma abordagem processual. Contribuição para a prática: espera-se contribuir para a conscientização sobre a temática e para as instituições elaborarem estratégias de notificação mais efetivas no sentido de monitorizar a segurança do paciente e direcionar melhorias.

Cultivando o respeito pela Natureza e a inovação na não-ficção – novas tendências editoriais nos volumes não-ficcionais da Planeta Tangerina
Authors: Braga Mariana
Published: October 2024

Neste artigo, pretende-se caracterizar as principais tendências editoriais dos livros de não-ficção infantojuvenil sobre o Ambiente e a Natureza da editora Planeta Tangerina. Acompanhando a proliferação do género em Portugal, pretende analisar-se o papel da linguagem textual e visual na construção dos livros Lá Fora (2014), Um Ano Inteiro (2017), Plasticus Maritimus (2018) e Apanhar Ar, Apanhar Sol (2022), refletindo sobre a forma como estes modos semióticos dialogam entre si para transmitir a informação. Além do seu objetivo educativo e informativo, os livros de não-ficção infantojuvenis têm vindo a surgir progressivamente mais “sophisticated, multi-modal and polysemous” (Grilli, 2020, p.17), o que permite um investimento na criatividade ao nível da representação de conteúdo factual, fazendo com que estes livros sejam cada vez mais valorizados pela sua componente estética e artística. Este estudo pretende analisar de que modo o corpus selecionado contribui para a veiculação do conhecimento não só através da vertente textual, como também da vertente visual, recorrendo à multimodalidade e ao hibridismo. Além disso, pretende verificar-se se as semelhanças presentes no corpus permitem traçar uma “marca editorial” nos livros de não-ficção sobre o tema publicados pela editora em questão.
Phillips curve in Canada: a tale of wage bargaining and tariff rate
Authors: Devaguptapu Adviti , Dash Pradyumna
Published: October 2024

In this paper, we re-examine the Phillips curve for Canada over the period of 1971(Q1)–2018(Q4) and find that the impulse response of inflation to the unemployment gap has reduced over time. On further examination, we find that changes in both tariff rate and collective wage bargaining power have led to the reduced sensitivity of inflation to the unemployment gap. On comparison, the role of change in the collective bargaining has greater influence on the reduction in the sensitivity than that of change in the tariff rate.
The Imputed Effect of the 2018 Tariffs on US Factor Shares
Authors: Thompson Henry , Thompson Alexi
Published: October 2024

The discretionary 2018 increase in the average tariff from 2% to 12% will have broad effects across the US economy reflected in the present predicted factor shares of capital, labor, skilled labor, and energy input.  Error correction estimates of a Linear Almost Ideal Demand System introduce the price of import competing goods as a proxy for the average tariff in annual 1983-2018 data.  The historically large tariff increase will boost the rising capital share of income while the declining labor share accelerates and the rising skilled labor share reverses.  Capital is the only winner due to the increased tariffs.
A Review of the Literature on Gender and International Family Joint Migration
Authors: Freitas Monteiro Teresa
Published: October 2024

Most migration decisions are not made by isolated individuals but by families or entire households. However, international family migration remains an understudied field. This article provides an overview of the literature on gender and family dynamics as a path to understanding the family decision to migrate internationally. The first three sections summarize the major historical trends and economic theories on the gender pay gap and give a brief overview of the neoclassical migration model and household models in economics. The central section of this article documents the models of family migration in economics and sociology. Despite the recent improvements, the analysis of family migration still lags far behind that of individual migration and can gain from incorporating gender-theories and the recent developments in household models.
KGB Struggle with Antisoviet Manifestation in Lithuania and Abroad: People's Discreditation
Authors: Burinskaitė Kristina
Published: October 2024

One of the main aims of the Soviet regime in Lithuania is to crush internal and external enemies. Discreditation of the enemy - creation of their negative image and opinion in the society is one of the means of that fight. Political changes after the death of Stalin and changes of the USSR international position forced KGB to use the means of psychological influence, pressure besides physical repression, actions of falsehood, discreditation, various provocations, and intimidation. In such a way, KGB wanted to hide political repression. In a struggle with inner enemies, KGB used the method of discreditation, which aims to damage authority, good name of an opponent, and trust of society in him by leaking out or interpreting negatively the facts of his life and activity in order to suppress their activity, lower the number of supporters and to justify the repression. The time of appearance of discreditable information, its form, and to what part of society it is designed is very important. In Soviet Lithuania, the discreditable information is related to the person's past, his activity in independent Lithuania, during the first Soviet and Nazi occupation, and after the war period. Personal information, like diseases, love affairs, sexual orientations, crimes, and mistakes in the past was used also. After crushing armed resistance in 1953, anti-Soviet opposition turned into unarmed form of resistance. It is difficult to crush it with force; that is why every more important national, religious, and civil anti-Soviet action was followed by discreditation actions. There were a couple forms of discreditation actions - falsehood and slander campaign through press and spreading rumors, letters or petitions incited by KGB, criminalizations of political trials, putting dissent into mental hospitals. Those campaigns were carried out until the ninth decade, but during the rebirth period, they did not make any effect on public opinion. The biggest discreditation actions were carried against the biggest critics of the Soviet system - Lithuanian Catholic Church, dissidents, fighters for human rights and liberties, emigration organizations, and most active persons. The discreditation method was efficient just partly because KGB did not reach the main target - to make opposition end their anti-Soviet activity, although they overshadowed their good name, morale, and activity.
Sacral buildings suitable for defense purposes and their ensembles in Vilnius in the 14th-18th centuries
Authors: Girlevičius Linas
Published: October 2024

In the 14th-18th centuries, Vilnius had a number of sacral buildings adapted for defense purposes as well as ensembles of those buildings. This group of objects of the defense heritage is one of the components of the defense system of Vilnius. The analysis of the previous and the latest data has shown that the number of this kind of objects is much bigger than it has been assumed. Still, it is hypothetical whether some of them really belong to the group of defense heritage objects. A number of sacral buildings and their groups were established in places that were important in terms of the defense of Vilnius as early as in the 14th and 15th centuries. Relics of the early fortifications have remained in the territories of several sacral objects. The greater part of sacral buildings and monasteries discussed in the article were deliberately established in places that were important to the defense of the city and its environs, and quite a few were constructed by order of the ruler (Grand Duke of Lithuania and/or King of the Polish-Lithuanian State). 
In Vilnius, monasteries and nunneries were established according to the Christian traditions of constructing such ensembles of sacral buildings — they were built close to the border of the city of the time (14th-15th centuries) or in the peri-urban area. It is possible to trace the development of the early city and the strategy of its planning according to the locations of the monasteries suitable for defense purposes. Although the construction of Catholic and Orthodox churches and monasteries adapted for defense purposes was more typical of the 14th and 15th centuries, the tradition remained until the 18th century. A few of those buildings still have architectural fragments proving that they were meant to be defended with firearms. Thus, we can conclude that quite a number of the sacral monuments of Vilnius were ready to be used for defense purposes during battles. 
Monasteries were suitable for defense due to their planning — traditionally an enclosed ensemble of buildings. Yet, their role in the defense of the city was not very important, as they were only prepared for defense with light firearms. The further research of sacral buildings used for defense purposes is prospective and relevant when seeking to determine the defensive potential of Vilnius in the Middle Ages and the New Times. In the process of the research, the list of objects discussed in this article can be supplemented with new ones.
The models of behaviour ofthe old generation historians in the presence of sovietization process
Authors: Švedas Aurimas
Published: October 2024

Ever since Lithuania has restored its independence in 1990, wide-ranging debates have been taking place on a question of individual and societal conformance, resistance, and collaboration during the times of Soviet occupation. This article inquires into strategies and tactics of behavior that the most famous historians of independent Lithuania have chosen to pursue in the presence of existential and professional challenges made by the Soviet occupation and its totalitarian system. 
The older generation of historians from independent Lithuania was deliberately isolated during the time of creating the Soviet model of history; their influence was limited as these scholars were directed to the "ideologically safe" spheres of work and were prevented from reading "complicated courses" to students. Historians with the "bourgeois past" were closely watched and some of them even came under the real threat of repressions. At the same time, authors and stewards of the Soviet model of history cynically attempted to use the authority of the historians of independent Lithuania by constantly assigning them tasks of conjuncture.
While facing existential and professional challenges, the old generation of Lithuanian historians had to choose from three, often contradictory, strategies of behavior: 
First path was to separate themselves from the perversions of the Soviet reality by refusing to participate in joint projects and by assuming an apolitical attitude.
Second path was, consciously or not, to constantly seek to create controversy in the official Soviet discourse of history, while bringing upon themselves disgrace from the history stewards.
Third approach was to attempt to escape from the schemes and to correct the general constructs of Lithuanian history by influencing Soviet historiography with the usage of correct propositions and carefully chosen quotes from the Marxist-Leninist classics.
As the sovietization process was leaping forward, making a choice among resistance, conformance, and collaboration became an existential and professional challenge, which the elite of the interwar community of historians had to face every day.

Cultural practices to protecting biodiversity through cultural heritage: preserving nature, preserving culture
Authors: K Rathoure Ashok
Published: October 2024

Biodiversity conservation is critical in the face of increasing environmental degradation, and alongside scientific approaches, traditional cultural practices offer profound strategies for safeguarding ecosystems. This article explores the symbiotic relationship between cultural heritage and biodiversity protection, focusing on how indigenous knowledge and cultural traditions, such as sacred groves, sustainable agriculture, and community-driven conservation, contribute to preserving nature. Case studies from India, including the sacred groves of the Western Ghats, the Bishnoi community's protection of wildlife, and the Apatani tribe's sustainable farming, exemplify how deeply-rooted cultural practices can promote biodiversity conservation. These examples highlight that by preserving cultural heritage, we also protect biodiversity, offering a more inclusive, sustainable approach to environmental stewardship. The article emphasizes the need to integrate traditional knowledge with modern conservation efforts to create resilient ecosystems and maintain cultural identity.
Random Spherical Disc-Polygons in a Spherical Spindle Convex Disc
Authors: Nagy Kinga , Vígh Viktor
Published: October 2024

In this paper, we consider the asymptotic behaviour of the expectation of the number of vertices of a uniform random spherical disc-polygon. This provides a connection between the corresponding results in spherical convexity, and in Euclidean spindle-convexity, where the expectation tends to the same constant. We also extend the result to a more general case, where the random points generating the uniform random disc-polygon are chosen from spherical convex disc with smooth boundary.
Unemployment as a risk factor for gambling disorder: A longitudinal study based on national registry data
Authors: Syvertsen André , Leino Tony , Smith Otto R. F. , Mentzoni Rune Aune , Sivertsen Børge , Griffiths Mark D. , Pallesen Ståle
Published: October 2024

Background and aims

Unemployment rates are elevated among individuals with disordered gambling, yet the directionality of the relationship remains unclear. The present study investigated paid and unpaid unemployment as risk factors for future gambling disorder (GD).

Methods

The study employed a case-control design, including all adult Norwegians receiving a GD diagnosis within specialist health services from January 2008 to December 2018 (n = 5,131). These individuals were compared with age- and sex-matched controls from the general population (n = 30,164), as well as controls with somatic and psychiatric diagnoses (n = 30,476).

Results

Logistic regressions showed that those in the highest quartile of unpaid unemployment days had more than double the odds (odds ratio [OR] 2.23 (95% CI [1.96, 2.52]) of developing GD compared to those with no unpaid unemployment days. Similarly, higher levels of paid unemployment were also found to increase the odds for GD, with those in the highest quartile having an OR of 1.86 (95% CI [1.50, 2.28]) compared to those with no paid unemployment days. Moreover, an interaction analysis indicated that the association between paid unemployment days and GD was significantly stronger among men compared to women.

Conclusions

The present study suggests that both paid and unpaid unemployment constitute risk factors for GD. Programs aiming at obtaining and sustaining work have been found to improve health and future studies should examine if the risk for GD can be similarly mitigated.

Effective tax planning is a form of efficiency in corporate income tax burden so as to reduce the amount of installments for article 25 tax payments. The purpose of this study is to find out how effective and efficient tax planning is based on the use of article 25 income tax. This study uses a systematic method to review relevant literature, namely the systematic literature review (SLR) method. The application of this methodology aims to identify, study, evaluate, and interpret related data presented with emerging and interrelated questions. To obtain similar research relevant to the topic, this study uses keywords: tax planning, income tax installments article 25. There are five literature reviews that approach research topics for 2021 and 2022. The results of this study found that each entity has different tax planning according to the type and conditions of the business being run, but has a positive impact, namely efficiency in tax costs so that monthly tax installments become smaller and help companies manage their cash flow.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kebijakan implementasi blue economy di Indonesia beserta tantangannya. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui studi kepustakaan menggunakan metode PRISMA dan database Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). Indonesia memfokuskan konsep blue economy melalui kebijakan ekonomi berbasis kelautan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan model ekonomi biru di Indonesia lebih terfokus pada industri perikanan, dengan penekanan pada pembangunan infrastruktur kelautan yang berkelanjutan dan pengelolaan sumber daya laut dengan prinsip efisiensi alam dan zero waste. Namun, implementasi blue economy juga menghadapi berbagai tantangan, seperti kerusakan ekosistem laut akibat aktivitas ekonomi yang tidak berkelanjutan, konflik antara sektor perikanan dan pariwisata bahari, kebijakan yang belum jelas atau tumpang tindih, keterbatasan teknologi, dan kurangnya pendanaan. Diperlukan kebijakan yang komprehensif, investasi dalam penelitian teknologi kelautan, serta kemitraan antara pemerintah, sektor swasta, dan komunitas internasional untuk mendukung pertumbuhan blue economy secara berkelanjutan

Authors: Rifani Irfan , Lobja Xaverius Erick , Ramadhan Muhamad Isa
Published: October 2024

The political geography of North Sulawesi provides insights into the local political dynamics with specific geographic considerations. This research employs a quantitative method, focusing on voter rationality, social identity, social cognition, social change, and political alternatives. Findings indicate that Generation Z students choose candidates based on vision, mission, performance, and digital information. Despite positive perceptions of performance, there is a discrepancy with the level of interest. Voter rationality is more focused on individual assessment than party loyalty. Social identity, including ethnic, religious, and cultural diversity, plays a role in political decision-making. Social media serves as the primary source of information, but voters actively seek verification from other sources. Mental processes and social cognition influence the interpretation of political information, and awareness of choosing in line with values, interests, expectations, and believed changes. Although voters have convictions, there is potential uncertainty in their choices. This study provides insights into political geography, voter behavior, and the socio-political context in North Sulawesi, supporting a deeper understanding of local political dynamics and student preferences.

According to the statistics of WHO in 2019, diabetes was one of the top 10 causes of death in Vietnam and the incidence increasing day by day has required more effective treatment methods. For a long time, natural products have played an important role in drug screening programs. Gardenia jasminoides belongs to the Gardenia genus of Rubiaceae family, in which previous research showed potential ability in diabetes treatment through various mechanisms. In this study, 3 iridoids were isolated from G. jasminoides collected in Vietnam and the -glucosidase inhibitory was evaluated for the first time. The results showed 6-hydroxygeniposide (2) expressed the strongest activity with IC50 at 6.38 ± 0.12 M, meanwhile geniposide (1) and 6hydroxygeniposide (3) were inactive. The inhibitory mechanism of 6- hydroxygeniposide was revealed by molecular docking and molecular dynamics. 6- hydroxygeniposide competed and blocked p-nitrophenyl--D-glucopyranoside substrate reaching the reaction center of the enzyme, which was expressed through lower non-bonds interacting energy and stable binding affinity.

Authors:   Ural Polytechnic College, Glazunov A. A.
Published: October 2024

The author proposes to develop a new approach to addressing problems within the study of thanatological elements of contemporary religious mythology. This research is conducted within the scope of a relatively new religious studies discipline known as religious mythology. To accomplish the purpose of this study, the method formulation process is divided into three phases: 1) Uncovering the cognitive potential of the synthetic paradigm of Daniil Valentinovich Pivovarov; 2) Establishing the theoretical foundations of the method; 3) Defining the algorithm of the method. The results of this study represent a new method that takes thanatology beyond its natural scientific boundaries and recognizes the sacral and ethical significance of death in human existence, which are relevant areas for religious studies and religious thanatology.

The most promising areas for processing coffee grounds in Russia in the construction industry
Authors: Tkachenko Ekaterina , Boitsova Julia
Published: October 2024

The presented study demonstrates the advanced developments in the application of coffee food waste. One of the main theoretical sources was the work of a group of Australian scientists who achieved outstanding results in the field of modernization of construction materials — in particular, concrete, which was successfully enriched with coal obtained from spent coffee grounds. The foreign scientists managed to increase the strength of concrete by ~30 %, as well as reduce the amount of concrete needed in construction work. It is also implied that the share of sand in construction works will also be reduced. Our study presents the prospects for the application of this innovative approach to the manufacture of construction materials in the context of the Russian real estate market, which is experiencing an unprecedented boom and price growth for objects of various directions. The described price growth is caused, among other things, by the high cost of manufacturing and transportation of building materials. The experience of Australian scientists and the demand of the domestic real estate market for innovative solutions designed to develop a high-quality and more affordable alternative to conventional building materials can not only reduce the cost of construction work, but also reduce the negative impact on the ecology of Russia. There was also given the justification of the relevance of integration of innovative methods of construction materials manufacturing into the domestic construction industry, as there is an urgent need for renovation of outdated housing stock, confirmed by static data and scientific research of domestic scientists. The information presented in the article can be used as part of innovative initiatives in the field of processing organic food waste in Russia.
“Whoa, But I’m Not Like This, I Don’t Even Know How This Happens”: Literacy Practices and Experiences of Students From Migrant Backgrounds in a Brazilian Public University
Authors: Mattos Elisa , Diniz Leandro Rodrigues Alves
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT: This article discusses the literacy practices and experiences of four students from migrant backgrounds who entered a federal public university in Brazil through a public call specifically designed for this group. In the field of Critical Applied Linguistics, we take a decolonial stance on internationalization and academic literacies. Research data were generated using tools such as questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and WhatsApp. The analysis focused on three main aspects: (i) ‘mismatches’ between the participants’ expectations and the curricular structure of their undergraduate courses; (ii) the opacity of certain aspects of academic literacy and curricular organization; (iii) issues related to identity in interaction with peers. The research findings point to the ways in which language education policies can be developed with a view to promoting inclusion in higher education for students from migrant backgrounds.
