Authors: Araújo Marcelo Labanca Corrêa de , Valois Juliana do Rego Barros
Published: January 2024

O presente trabalho tem o intuito de investigar se os Estados-Membros brasileiros têm dado respostas legislativas no que diz respeito à promoção da inclusão cultural por meio do incentivo ao cinema no Brasil. Destarte, tem-se, como objetivo geral, a investigação do exercício da competência legislativa estadual para incentivo ao cinema no Brasil entre os anos de 2017 e 2021. A metodologia utilizada para esta pesquisa se deu através do método empírico, com mapeamento quantitativo e qualitativo da legislação estadual brasileira. De início, foi realizada uma revisão de literatura a fim de definir o conceito de “incentivo” de acordo com os ditames estabelecidos pelo federalismo cooperativo e pela salvaguarda dos direitos fundamentais. Em seguida, o mapeamento quantitativo foi efetuado através da consulta ao sítio eletrônico "https://leisestaduais.com.br" e pesquisa das leis ordinárias e complementares nos 27 Estados-Membros com as expressões de busca "cinema", “produção cinematográfica” e “audiovisual” para obter, com maior precisão, todas as leis produzidas. O lapso temporal, de 01/01/2017 até 31/12/2021, foi definido de forma discricionária, a fim de garantir os critérios de atualidade da pesquisa. Após o mapeamento quantitativo da legislação, realizou-se um mapeamento qualitativo por meio de planilhas que classificaram a legislação encontrada com base em três critérios, quais sejam, “restrição ao cinema”, “incentivo ativo”, identificando as leis que têm como objetivo a promoção do direito à cultura por meio do incentivo à cadeia produtora de cinema, e “incentivo passivo”, para a legislação que incentivou o acesso, por parte da sociedade, ao consumo de cinema no Brasil. Por fim, foi efetuada uma comparação, através da aplicação de jurimetria e elaboração de gráficos, entre as legislações de cada Estado-Membro mapeado. Destarte, pontua-se que após a aplicação da metodologia, verificou-se que o Estado-Membro que produziu a maior quantidade de leis acerca do tema foi o Rio de Janeiro, com 31 leis. Pode-se, diante dos dados coletados, afirmar que a engrenagem federativa de descentralização do direito fundamental à cultura encontra-se em curso.
Um leito e trezentas vidas: o protagonismo do Judiciário e a inconsistência da jurisprudência no Estado de Pernambuco, Brazil
Authors: Teixeira Sergio Torres , Walmsley Mayara Schwambach
Published: January 2024

O presente artigo trata do recorrido histórico que levou ao protagonismo do Judiciário no Brasil e da inconsistência da jurisprudência, especialmente no contexto da pandemia de Covid-19 no Estado de Pernambuco. A pesquisa objetiva analisar a relação entre o protagonismo do Poder Judiciário no direito brasileiro e a ocorrência de decisões conflitantes em um mesmo tribunal, além do impacto dessas decisões para os jurisdicionados. Para tanto, foram analisados os desfechos de duas ações judiciais cujas liminares foram apreciadas pelos órgãos fracionários do Tribunal de Justiça do Estado de Pernambuco, ambas no mês maio de 2020. A metodologia utilizada foi a da pesquisa qualitativa com a construção de proposições teóricas testadas à luz de um estudo de caso comparativo. As proposições teóricas conduziram a coleta e a análise dos dados a fim de testar a teoria apresentada no contexto da judicialização da saúde durante a pandemia de Covid-19. A escolha dos casos confrontados se deu em razão de seu caráter decisivo para testar a teoria apresentada, uma vez que as decisões foram proferidas pelo mesmo Tribunal, no mesmo mês e nas mesmas circunstâncias fáticas. As unidades de análise do estudo foram o protagonismo judicial no Direito à Saúde, a inconsistência da jurisprudência e a inserção de um sistema de precedentes em um ordenamento jurídico de tradição romano-germânica. Conclui-se que bem-vindas foram as alterações trazidas pelo CPC/2015 no intuito de reforçar a busca pela igualdade jurídica e material entre os jurisdicionados.
Limitação ao direito fundamental à proteção de dados pessoais (Artigo 5.º, LXXIX)
Authors: Souza Carlos Diego Peixoto de
Published: January 2024

Neste relatório, discutiremos a constitucionalidade do Projeto de Lei n.° 118/2021, que se propõe a permitir o acesso de dados pessoais vinculados a dispositivos móveis, entre os quais estão incluídos os dados de geolocalização, pelas autoridades policiais e parquet, nos casos em que há restrição/privação de liberdade ilegal de pessoas vítimas de crimes, tais como a extorsão mediante sequestro. Demonstraremos qual o conteúdo jurídico protegido pelo direito fundamental à proteção de dados pessoais (artigo 5.°, inciso LXXIV da CRFB) a partir de uma análise do conceito jurídico de “dados pessoais”, delineando, ainda, quais casos implicariam uma interpretação absurda de proteção. Indicaremos as bases desse “novo” direito fundamental, como direito autônomo e previsto literalmente na Constituição brasileira, apresentando as ligações e os descolamentos de outros direitos fundamentais. Explanaremos acerca da limitação que o esboço legislativo trará sobre o direito fundamental, analisando o alcance e as justificativas dessa restrição. Por fim, aplicaremos o conceito de direitos fundamentais enquanto trunfos contra a maioria dotados de uma reserva geral de imanência de ponderação teorizado pelo Prof. Dr. Jorge Reis Novais, para testar a (in)constitucionalidade do Projeto de Lei em discussão.

Published: January 2024

O presente artigo apresenta um estudo sobre as influências das políticas internacionais, particularmente as da Unesco, para a EJA em Espaços de Privação e Restrição de Liberdade (EPRL) no Brasil e no Chile. Como procedimentos metodológicos, foram adotadas a análise documental e estudos bibliográficos. No que se refere à EJA em EPRL, dialogou-se com Julião (2018) e Acuña (2015 e 2018). Os referenciais para os estudos no campo das políticas públicas sociais, em especial de educação, contemplam as produções de Höfling (2001), Souza (2006), Shiroma et al. (2011), Ventura (2008 e 2013), entre outros. Como resultado, foi possível constatar um alinhamento entre as políticas para a EJA em prisões nos dois países, a agenda educacional globalmente estruturada e como a educação no sistema prisional tem assumido o discurso de promessa do alcance de coesão social, da redução de violências e da criminalidade, assim como de prevenção da reincidência.

Authors: Saud D AlOtaibi  , Ashraf M. Emara  , Hossam Abdelkader Elsisi
Published: January 2024

Objectives: Amphetamines are stimulants and addictive drugs. Saudi officials announced in 2023 a huge campaign against abused drugs. Numerous studies have shown that amphetamines abuse may affect the functions and structures of the brain and result in damage and psychiatric disorders. Nothing evidence was gathered and summarized for all available mechanisms to induce psychiatric disorders. Therefore, we summarized the alterations that cause psychiatric disorders. Methods: We are accessed the studies included in our scope by conducting a literature review involves using engines of the health database such as APA, PubMed, Cochrane Review, Scopus, Google Scholar, Medline, and EMBASE to collect the data and identify the materials that describe the topic by using multi-key words including amphetamines, methamphetamine, ecstasy which known as (MDMA) 3,4-Methyl​enedioxy​methamphetamine , mechanisms of psychiatric disorders; substance-induced psychiatric disorders; psychosis; abuse mechanisms; cognitive-behavioral abnormalities. Results: Psychiatric Disorders induced by amphetamines is a result of direct mechanisms such as abnormalities in the levels of dopamine, glutamate, and GABA, in addition to high dopamine in the midbrain and forebrain, neuronal network dysregulation, and ultimately, cortical and subcortical damage. Indirect mechanisms are confirmed, such as long-term use, high doses, sleep deprivation, genetics, and reactive oxygen species. Dopamine functions and sensitization are confirmed in schizophrenia and drug-induced psychiatric disorders. Conclusion: Mechanisms that induce psychiatric disorders are complex and interrelated. Research focuses on alterations of dopaminergic, sensitization, glutamatergic, neuronal inflammation, cortical GABAergic neurons, apoptosis following neurotoxicity, and mediators of protein kinases. Amphetamine-induced psychiatric disorders could be avoided by early prevention and detoxification.

Published: January 2024

detrimental to a child's health. This condition predominantly stems from an interplay of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Key contributors include unhealthy dietary habits, insufficient physical activity, and prolonged engagement in sedentary activities, such as excessive use of mobile phones, computers, and television. Childhood obesity predisposes individuals to a spectrum of health complications, including cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and respiratory disorders. Additionally, it is associated with various psychological and social challenges. The rising prevalence of childhood obesity underscores its seriousness as a growing public health concern, with long-term implications for the health and well-being of affected children. Results: The review identified four surveys that met the predefined outcomes. These studies provided substantial evidence supporting the use of auricular neuromodulation in addressing childhood obesity. Each of the four studies was a randomized clinical trial, focusing on children and adolescents who underwent auricular neuromodulation. This procedure involved the use of vaccaria (plant seeds), metal pellets and mustard seeds. The participants in this study were divided into two subgroups. The first group received intervention with the use of vaccaria and the second group was the control group where there was no intervention. This design facilitated the comparison of the given intervention against alternative treatments. The primary outcome measures included anthropometric parameters and assessments of body image, self-esteem, and depressive symptoms. Conclusion: Recent studies have demonstrated that auricular neuromodulation using vaccaria seeds, mustard seeds and metal pellets yields positive results in treating childhood obesity. This conclusion is based on anthropometric outcome measures. These findings suggest that such neuromodulation techniques can be a viable option in the physiotherapeutic treatment of obesity in children and adolescents.

Published: January 2024

Vegetation along major traffic roads are predisposed to heavy metals contamination due to wear and tear of vehicular components and emissions from vehicles. The concentration of ten heavy metals (Fe, Mn, Zn, Pb, Cu, Ni, Cr, Co Ag and Cd) in the leaves of four test plants (Panicum maximum Jacq.,Eleusine indica L., Xanthosoma mafafa Schott. and Amaranthus spinosus L.) growing along four busy roads (Aba road, Ikwerre road, East/West road and NTA road) in parts of Obio/Akpor Local Government Area and a control ( in Ozuguru in Ikwerre Ngwo) in Etche Local Government Area, both in Rivers State, Nigeria were investigated in the study area. Along each road, four sampling points were set up at 1 km apart. The test plants were collected randomly and were pooled together to form composite sample. The collected test plants at each sample location were put in different sterile cellophane bags, labelled and served as soilage to the experimental animals. Eighteen guinea pigs were used for this investigation. Three guinea pigs were picked out of the eighteen guinea pigs using randomized block design for a preliminary test. The remaining fifteen guinea pigs were fed with the test plants from the experimental and control sites for six weeks. The concentration of the ten heavy metals were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (ASS). The results revealed that Aba road had the highest mean concentration value of heavy metals in Cu, Zn, Co, Cr and Cd with values (28.75±1.34), (32.46±0.9), (5.14±0.11), (4.79±0.21) and (3.17±0.12) respectively. The highest mean concentration value for Mn and Pb were observed in East/West road with values (7.57±1.48) and (5.39±1.53) respectively, while the highest mean concentration value for Fe was observed in Ikwerre road (192.84±2.64). NTA road had the least values for all heavy metals tested while Ni and Ag were not detected in all livers and kidneys of the experimental animals. The results from this findings show the health implication of roadside grazing of ruminants.

Published: January 2024

One of physiology elements of female’s reproduction is menstruation. It is an important consideration for optimizing the performance and maintaining the health of females. The menstrual cycle can be said normal if the interval between 21-35 days. Physical activity is said as one of the several factors that cause menstrual cycle disorders. Therefore, this literature review study aims to determine the correlation between physical activity and irregular menstrual cycle based on secondary data or previous research journal articles. The articles collected for this literature review according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The search engine used was PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. The result of the literature review showed 10 journals. Eight articles stated there were significant relation between physical activity and the menstrual cycle disorder, however 2 articles presented no significant between them. The conclusion of this study is physical activity can have correlation with the menstrual cycle disorders. The different result can be found according to the level of the physical activity and the level of the reproduction endocrine, which all those needs further investigation.
Between Material Philology and Reception History: Patristic and Papyrological Evidence for the Sibylline Oracles
Authors: Capatina Oana Teodora
Published: January 2024

This article adapts insights from Material Philology to rethink the reception of the Sibylline Oracles by looking at the full range of evidence for the collection’s early development and circulation. Since the “rediscovery” of the Oracles in 1545, the Renaissance-era manuscripts and modern critical editions have been privileged as if equivalent to the “original,” ancient text. To move away from mediating our knowledge of the Oracles solely through later interpreters, this article brings materials from the margins – papyrological fragments from the second centuries BCE and CE and quotations in Josephus, Justin Martyr, Athenagoras, and Theophilus – to the very center of the discussion. Increased attention to Jewish and Christian witnesses provides a snapshot of how the Sibylline Oracles were read, received, and redacted over time. Comparing the material evidence with the manuscript tradition yields startingly different concerns regarding the Oracles’ textual fluidity, Book 3’s Jewish origins, and the Sibyl’s prophetic authority.
Religious Actors and Artificial Intelligence: Examples from the Field and Suggestions for Further Research
Authors: Trotta Susanna , Iannotti Deborah Sabrina , Rähme Boris
Published: January 2024

In recent years, the intersection between religion and artificial intelligence (AI) has spurred discussions of a philosophical and theological nature in the academic literature and in public debates. These discussions have often focused on the potential of “general” and “strong AI” to replace God and/or human intelligence. However, this does not reflect the state of the technologies currently in use. We argue that there are several ways in which religious actors interact with existing “narrow” or “weak” AI tools that merit the attention of researchers working on religions and AI. We look at the practical ways in which religious actors use existing AI tools for their activities, while also considering their engagements in terms of education-, advocacy- and policy-related initiatives in the field of AI. Based on a range of examples of how religious actors employ and assess AI technologies within and beyond their religious practices, we present preliminary reflections on these interactions and suggest questions for further research.
Gender and Power Relations in a Malagasy Congregational Asset-Based Community Development Project
Authors: Rakotoarison Zo Ramiandra
Published: January 2024

Managing power relations is a development concern, and this study adds to research addressing questions of power and gender balance in local community development projects. It analyses power relations and gender roles within a Malagasy congregational asset-based community development project called “Use Your Talents”. In local communities as well as in larger society, power relations and gender injustice are interlinked. This paper is part of a qualitative study with data collected in 2018 at four Lutheran congregations in Madagascar with forty-one female and male informants. In analysing the interview, the following themes emerged: “power over” in favour of adult men, ‘power to’ that differentiates between women’s and men’s possibilities and limitations, ‘power with’ as collaboration between women, men and young people and activities based on gender and age, and “power within” from God and from skills based on gender. The study revealed that Use Your Talents mostly emphasises the ‘power within/with’, and where power is exercised ‘to and over’, it is mainly adult men exercising power. The study also found that women contributed significantly to congregational community development projects. The study concludes that the church provides both women and men opportunities for development through the Use Your Talents approach, but they exercise different aspects of power. This is reinforced by Use Your Talents and affected their roles, relations and activities in congregational community development. The difference in power favours adult men, while limiting economic and social possibilities for women.

The Representations of Socialist Feminism on Lesley Gore’s You Don't Own Me
Authors: Pasopati Rommel Utungga , Oktavia Dian , Ayu Evangelin Rambu , Salsabiyla Raddine , Andharu Devito
Published: January 2024

This article exposes analysis of socialist feminism through the song of Lesley Gore entitled You Don't Own Me. Popularized in the 1960s, this song conveys the strength of a woman to fight against any dictation and to reject the wishes of men. This is in line with Clara Zetkin’s socialist feminism in which a woman must always be free from any man’s possession. Zetkin bases her thoughts on socialist concepts that emphasize equality between men and women out of any capital accumulation. By using qualitative methods, in the analysis, Gore uplifts women's dignity by rejecting any domestication and dictation done by men. Women must sound their own voices and stand up for their own rights. In conclusion, women are full of uniqueness that must not be reduced as a toy for men. Women are human beings that are never parts of the capital accumulation of men.

Authors: Whardana Adithya Kusuma , Rentelinggi Parma Hadi , Timothy Hezkiel Dokta
Published: January 2024

This research aims to detect diabetic retinopathy using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). The main objective is to compare these two methods in detecting the condition. Based on the study’s result after training 10 times on each method, the accuracy results were 92% for the CNN method and 50% for the RNN method. These results show, this study with the dataset used, the CNN method is much more effective in detecting diabetic retinopathy than the RNN method. The CNN method is better due to its ability to extract spatial features from images, which is important in image classification tasks.
MATCH-RELATED PERFORMANCE IN JUNIOR AND U23 JUDO EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP: INFLUENCE OF COVID-2019 PANDEMIC
Authors: DEMIRAL Şengül , Nazıroğlu Meltem , Taşkın Cüneyt
Published: January 2024

  

The purpose of this study is to examine the match-related performance (scores and penalties) of the athletes in the Junior EJC (European Judo Championship) and U23 EJC categories before and immediately after the Covid-19 quarantine, according to sex and weight category groups. Our sample was based on the junior and U23, male and females, 2019-2020 Junior European Judo Championships and 2019-2020 U23 European Judo Championships. A total of 1431 matches in these tournaments were analysed: male (n=812) and female (n=619). The main findings of this study showed that most matches in both the male and female categories resulted in ippon (2019-2020 average: 64,35% for Junior male, 70,55% for U23 male and 69,3% for Junior female, 64,4% for U23 female). No significant differences (p > 0.05) were observed between sex and age groups concerning the match scores. In the formation phase of the technique, considerations of high- and low-intensity actions, and analysis of the speed of athletes during matches in official competitions can help to better understand the dynamics of the variability of movements in judo matches. In addition, suggestions are presented to be applied to athletes in different age categories who are on the way to become Olympic athletes.
Power Personalization and Indoctrination in Dictatorships
Authors: Tertytchnaya Katerina , Kim Wooseok , Neundorf Anja , Northmore-Ball Ksenia , Nazrullaeva Eugenia
Published: January 2024

Conflict over the distribution of power within a leadership group is a central feature of authoritarian politics. In contemporary autocracies, power is increasingly concentrated in the hands of the leader. Studies have explored how personalization shapes the use of repression. We know less about how the personalization of power shapes strategies of information control that generate voluntary compliance within society. To gain leverage on this question, we combine data on gradations of personalism with novel data on state control over education and the media across 212 authoritarian regimes from 1950 to 2010. We show that in the process of concentrating power leaders not only increase state control over education and the media but also crucially shape their content in order to indoctrinate. Findings answer several calls to move beyond the study of repression for understanding the politics of non-democracies and have implications for research on power personalization and authoritarian politics.
Using the internet to cope with emotional problems: The role of preference for online communication in adolescents across 18 countries
Authors: Görzig Anke , Jaron Bedrosova Marie , McIntosh Harley , Milani Raffaella
Published: January 2024

For young people with emotional problems internet usage can serve as coping strategies – maladaptive (e.g., excessive internet use) or adaptive (e.g., engagement in social online activities). We investigated the relationships of emotional problems with maladaptive and adaptive coping strategies online and explored whether a preference for online communication mediates these. Survey data from 14,550 11–16-year-olds from 18 European countries (51% female) were analyzed via mediation analyses. Results confirmed that emotional problems were associated with both maladaptive and adaptive coping strategies and that these effects were partially mediated via preference of online communication. The study offers further empirical evidence for the model of compensatory internet use amongst a vulnerable population and demonstrates similar underlying mechanisms for both, positive and negative outcomes of internet usage. Implications for practice, such as guidance of internet use for positive outcomes, are discussed.
Individual differences in sharing false political information on social media: deliberate and accidental sharing, motivations and positive schizotypy
Authors: Buchanan Tom , Perach Rotem , Husbands Deborah , Tout Amber , Kostyuk Ekaterina , Kempley James , Joyner Laura
Published: January 2024

False political information – misinformation or disinformation - is widely spread on social media. Individual social media users play a large part in this. However, only a minority actively share false material. It is important to establish what sets these individuals apart from those who do not, and why they do it. Motivations for sharing may vary and are likely to differ between people who share false material unknowingly and on purpose. In this paper we consider the extent to which individual differences in personality and other variables, and motivations for sharing, influence the likelihood of people sharing false political information, both accidentally and deliberately.In a series of four studies (Ns=614, 563, 627, 113) we examined predictors of sharing false political information using different methodological approaches.Across the four studies, a key finding was that positive schizotypy is associated with measures of sharing false information both accidentally and deliberately. Motivations for sharing political information online were also relevant, with two clusters of motivations being particularly important: sharing for reasons of 'raising awareness', and sharing in order to attack or manipulate others. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
Linking hypothetical extraction, the accumulation of production factors, and the addition of value
Authors: Hertwich Edgar , Rasul Kajwan , Koslowski Maximilian
Published: January 2024

In industrial ecology, approaches have been developed to analyse the contribution of specific sectors to environmental impacts within supply chains. In economics, the analysis of key sectors has been undertaken through hypothetical extraction, in which the role of sectors is assessed as the effect of their removal on the solution of the input-output model. This manuscript offers a formal investigation of the relationship between these. It shows that both the analysis of supply chain impacts and of intersectoral linkages can be seen as special cases of a more general hypothetical extraction method (HEM) which also allows for the (partial) extraction of individual transactions. Further, the price model for HEM is introduced to identify the contribution of the extracted (target) sectors to the price or footprint of a commodity. It suggests that unit inputs of production factors should be included in linkage analysis, offering clearly interpretable results.
Meta-Analysis: A tool for constructing theories or evaluating interventions or simply proving everyday assumptions?
Authors: Witte Erich H. , Ponocny Ivo
Published: January 2024

After a brief consideration of the development of meta-analyses as a joint discussion of results from a research area across development stages 0, 1, 2, it is concluded that the present form 2.0 is unsuitable to serve as a basis for theory building. Further development of this tool into a meta-analysis 3.0 is necessary for this purpose which requires the validity of the independent variables in the primary studies, the reduction of the error variance of the dependent variables, a stability of the effects over the primary studies and a quantitative comparison between observed and predicted effects in the primary studies. In the current meta-analyses 2.0, a concrete single-case approach creates the impression that mainly everyday ideas are investigated, which one would like to generalize to a population of other conditions. Furthermore, the results of the existing meta-analyses are either homogeneous and very small or heterogeneous. The procedure of a meta-analysis 3.0 is described in general and carried out hypothetically. The conclusion can be summarized as that meta-analysis 3.0 is indispensable as a tool for theorizing, and theorizing presupposes meta-analysis 3.0. The link between this interdependence is abduction as a research strategy.
Does age affect metacognition? A cross-domain investigation using a hierarchical Bayesian framework
Authors: Meunier-Duperray Lucile , Mazancieux Audrey , Souchay Céline , Fleming Stephen M , Bastin Christine , Moulin Chris , Angel Lucie
Published: January 2024

According to previous research, the accuracy of metacognitive judgments in aging depends on the cognitive domain involved in the task, the experimental design, and the metacognitive index used. Older adults are frequently less accurate than younger adults in judging their episodic memory, while no difference is typically observed for semantic metamemory. In addition, age-related changes in metaperception appear to be highly task-dependent. Other metacognitive domains (such as metacognition of executive functioning) have been seldom explored. This study aimed to integrate methodological and theoretical advances in the study of metacognition to answer the question of whether metacognition is impaired in healthy aging. Data were collected in a large sample (n = 443) of participants aged 18 to 79. Participants provided retrospective confidence judgments in four domains: episodic memory, semantic memory, executive functioning, and visual perception. Our measure of accuracy, metacognitive efficiency, was estimated using a hierarchical Bayesian implementation of the meta-d’ model. Results showed that metacognitive efficiency decreased with age in the episodic task. A trend towards an age effect was noted in the executive task. There was no effect of age on metacognitive efficiency in the semantic and perception tasks. Furthermore, results suggested that metacognition of older adults may rely more on domain-specific processes than that of younger adults. The influences of frontal functioning and cognitive changes on metacognition are discussed.

In the past decade, distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) has enabled many new monitoring applications in diverse fields including hydrocarbon exploration and extraction; induced, local, regional, and global seismology; infrastructure and urban monitoring; and several others. However, to date, the open-source software ecosystem for handling DAS data is relatively immature. Here we introduce DASCore, a Python library for analyzing, visualizing, and managing DAS data. DASCore implements an object-oriented interface for performing common data processing and transformations, reading and writing various DAS file types, creating simple visualizations, and managing file system-based DAS archives. DASCore also integrates with other Python-based tools which enable the processing of massive data sets in cloud environments. DASCore is the foundational package for the broader DAS data analysis ecosystem (DASDAE), and as such its main goal is to facilitate the development of other DAS libraries and applications.

Understanding students' metacognitive skills in solving math problems concerning their mathematical abilities is crucial for identifying the cognitive processes involved in problem-solving. This study investigates the metacognitive skills of SMPN 3 Palu students with varying mathematical abilities in problem-solving. It focuses on students in class VIIJ during the 2022/2023 academic year, individually analyzing one high-ability and one low-ability student. The research, descriptive in nature, employs qualitative methods using written assignments and interviews for data collection. This study's analysis involved condensing data, presenting findings, and drawing conclusions. The findings reveal distinct approaches between high and low mathematical ability subjects. High-ability students consistently apply all three metacognitive skills (planning, monitoring, and assessment) across each problem-solving stage. Conversely, low-ability students demonstrate a limited use of metacognitive skills. While they employ planning at each stage, during implementation and result review, they primarily engage in planning and monitoring, neglecting assessment. Ultimately, it underscores the critical role of metacognitive skills in mathematical problem-solving, highlighting differences in their application between students of varying mathematical abilities.

Mathematical representation ability is very important for students, but many students still need to be able to solve mathematical problems with various mathematical representation abilities. This research is narrative research with a qualitative approach to describe the problems of students' mathematical representation abilities in terms of field-dependent and field-independent cognitive styles on the set topic. A total of 4 students, based on the GEFT test and the results of the subject teacher's directions, tended to field-dependent and field-independent cognitive styles. The instruments used in this study were the GEFT test, questions of representation ability, and interview guidelines. The results of the data analysis show that the mathematical representation abilities of students with a field-dependent cognitive style can represent with several models. In contrast, the mathematical representation abilities of students with a field-independent cognitive style can represent all indicators. Based on these conditions, in the learning process, the teacher can plan a differentiated lesson by paying attention to the differences in students' cognitive styles.

Published: January 2024

The article discusses and analyses the challenges faced by the autochthonous populations like Georgiansand Native Americans in the fight for their natural resources. The article provides a comparativeanalysis on how Georgian and Native American nations had to struggle to protect theirenvironment.In 2004, an important archaeological discovery was made by the German and Georgian scientistson the Sakdrisi-Kachaghiani hill, located at the territory of the Bolnisi Municipality, Georgia. Later,the Georgian and foreign media outlets started discussing the world-wide scale and uniqueness ofthe pre-historic mine.In 2013, the status of the Sakdrisi-Kachaghiani, as a cultural monument was deprived and the miningcompany “RMG Gold” got a permission to extract gold in the wider area where Sakdrisi waslocated, which caused protests from academics and preservationists.Similar challenge was faced by Native Americans (in the U.S.) in 2016 (the problem lasted till 2020),when protests started around the Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota (U.S.). The pipeline wassupposed to run from the Bakken oil fields in western North Dakota to southern Illinois, crossingbeneath the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, as well as under part of Lake Oahe near the StandingRock Indian Reservation.

The dual impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (simultaneous demand and supply shocks) was manifested by values of the economically important indicators, including measures applied to the labour market. The magnitude and scope of the response on the European Union labour markets were significantly country-specific parameters. The purpose of this article is to identify the types of responses of the EU labour markets in the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the agglomeration clustering methods, namely the Ward approach, has been applied to create groups of the studied labour markets. The application of this method led to the identification of 4 clusters of economies, characterized by different types of response in terms of the direction and intensity of changes on the labour market during the COVID-19 pandemic.
