The Role of Folklore in Building Character and Early Childhood Language Skills
Authors: Rohmat Juli
Published: October 2024

This study explores the role of folklore in shaping the character and language skills of early childhood learners. Folklore, rich in cultural values and moral lessons, serves as an effective medium for instilling virtues such as empathy, respect, and responsibility in young children. Through storytelling, children not only engage with the narratives but also enhance their linguistic abilities, including vocabulary acquisition, comprehension, and narrative skills. The research employs a qualitative approach, gathering data through observations, interviews with educators, and analyses of children's responses during storytelling sessions. The findings indicate that incorporating folklore into early education significantly promotes moral development and language proficiency among children. Furthermore, it highlights the necessity of integrating cultural narratives into educational practices to foster a holistic learning environment. The study underscores the importance of folklore as a vital tool for educators in nurturing the character and language skills of young learners, ultimately contributing to their overall development

A esquistossomose é uma doença tropical negligenciada causada por uma infecção crônica do Schistossoma mansoni (Sambon,1907), um parasita trematódeo transmitido por gastrópodes límnicos do gênero Biomphalaria. Esta parasitose vem sendo relatada no Maranhão desde 1920, em áreas com sérios problemas sanitários e déficits educacionais. Para controle bem-sucedido da esquistossomose é necessário utilizar métodos integrado, incluindo a educação em saúde e a participação popular. Objetivo deste estudo foi entender as percepções da esquistossomose entre os moradores dos municípios que compõem a Região dos Lençóis Maranhenses. Foram entrevistadas no total 87 pessoas, distribuídas entre os municípios que compõem a região. Como resultado obteve-se 68% das pessoas entrevistadas eram do gênero feminino, sendo que a maior faixa etária desses participantes foi de 33-50 anos e para o gênero masculino de 18-34 anos. A maioria dos entrevistados completou o ensino médio. Aproximadamente 64% relataram morar em área urbana. Quando perguntados sobre a esquistossomose a maioria das pessoas não reconheceram a doença, mas quando foi informado o nome popular da enfermidade, “barriga d’água”. Quando perguntados sobre o vetor, maioria disse que conhecia, mas estavam confundindo com outro gastrópode do gênero Pomacea. A falta de compreensão da doença e de seu vetor entre a população residente sugere a necessidade de campanhas de saúde pública mais frequentes e informativas para incluir informações mais direcionadas ao público, que se tornem de fácil entendimento.

Este artigo trabalha a subjetividade através do construto Qualidade de Vida (QV) e aponta suas perspectivas dentre estudantes indígenas assistidos pela política estudantil da Universidade Federal do Amapá (UNIFAP). Objetiva-se escutar a voz dos discentes indígenas e apontar as nuances singulares da sua qualidade de vida com a entrada e o convívio no espaço universitário. O percurso metodológico é um recorte de base etnográfica e segue através de entrevistas anuais realizadas na avaliação psicossocial do programa de assistência estudantil da Pró-reitora de ações comunitárias e estudantis da UNIFAP, com amostra de cinco estudantes, sendo pelo menos um representante de cada etnia componente da comunidade acadêmica no campus Binacional do munícipio do Oiapoque, no extremo norte do Amapá. Evidencia-se como resultado a importância de dar destaque às vozes contra hegemônicas de uma população ainda marginalizada e subalternizada na instituição universitária, promovendo uma epistemologia diversa no fechado mundo acadêmico e possibilitar uma significativa evolução social de diferentes formas de organização no espaço da universidade.
Evaluations of the deterioration characteristics of thermally treated wood samples from Corymbia citriodora and Eucalyptus urophylla caused by marine wood borers

Published: October 2024

The low natural durability properties of some types of wood indicate the need for treatments to enhance the resistance of these materials to biological decay. In the sea, this resistance is necessary due to the actions of wood-boring mollusks and crustaceans. These treatments must be effective without harming the environment. Wood thermal treatment should be evaluated for this purpose. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the deterioration characteristics of thermally treated wood samples from Corymbia citriodora and Eucalyptus urophylla under the actions of marine wood borers. A method was proposed to aid in this assessment. Ten samples of these woods, both untreated and thermally treated, were submerged in the sea, each at a depth of 2.5 meters, for five months. After this period, the external borehole number, mass loss, and central flat lesion parameters of the samples were evaluated. Both the thermally treated and untreated wood samples of C. citriodora showed less deterioration than those of E. urophylla, with fewer boreholes, smaller lesioned areas, and lower mass losses. Compared with untreated wood and E. urophylla wood, thermally treated C. citriodora wood exhibited some resistance to marine wood borers. It was concluded that C. citriodora wood was naturally more resistant to marine wood borers than E. urophylla wood. Moreover, thermal treatment increased the boring resistance of C. citriodora wood while increasing the susceptibility of E. urophylla wood. The digital measurement of flat lesions was proven to be an auxiliary and promising method for evaluating the deterioration process.

“When Fathers Beam and Mothers Wince”
Authors: Bachynski Kathleen
Published: October 2024

Since the late nineteenth century, the figure of the “worried mother” has featured prominently in popular debates about American football's risks and benefits. This article analyzes portrayals of mothers’ concerns about concussions and other youth football injuries in newspapers, journals, and sports magazines. Mothers occasionally penned opinion columns or were quoted in news stories, but most commonly, the “worried mother” was depicted by male sportswriters, physicians, and coaches writing about football safety. The “worried mother” posed an existential threat to youth football should she prohibit her son from participating or insist on a wholesale transformation of the rules; she thus needed to be reassured by coaches and league administrators. From nineteenth-century appeals to the “gentler sex” to the early twenty-first-century “moms’ clinics” sponsored by the National Football League, narratives surrounding “worried mothers” profoundly shaped popular perceptions of youth football's risks.
Prelude to a Crisis
Authors: Griffith Owen , Schultz Jaime
Published: October 2024

This article is an interdisciplinary or “biocultural” collaboration between a neuropsychologist and a sport historian. By examining the history of research on sport-related concussion, specifically as it relates to boxing and American football, we contend that there are important, if often overlooked, precursors to the post-2005 concussion “crisis.” In particular, we argue for greater attention to the development of sports neuropsychology, the scientific study of brain-behavior relationships within the context of sport. By bringing together the biological and the social—the neuropsychological and the historical—we offer a nuanced understanding of one of sport's most pressing problems.
Punch-Drunk Murderer
Authors: Townsend Stephen
Published: October 2024

The potential for athletes to experience dangerous behavioral changes following brain trauma is a topic of significant contemporary concern, particularly considering recent cases of brain-damaged athletes committing acts of criminal violence. Historical examples are far less known. This article examines the earliest known recorded case of sporting brain trauma being used to account for a crime. Raymond Henry Bousquet (aka Del Fontaine) murdered his girlfriend Hilda Meek on July 10, 1935, in London, England. At trial, he claimed he was legally insane at the time due to brain trauma from boxing. This case study examines documents gathered by law enforcement, prosecutors, and Bousquet's defense team, which reveal the contours of brain injury knowledge in England during the 1930s. It further examines the evidence from a feminist perspective, to question how the hypermasculine culture of boxing may have contributed to this crime.

Authors: Zhou Yunxin
Published: October 2024

In the digital era, the impact of malicious word-of-mouth on individuals and businesses is complex. Malicious online reviews and false information can spread quickly, causing serious damage to personal reputation and corporate branding. This article provides an in-depth analysis of the effects of malicious word-of-mouth on various aspects of the economy and society, and proposes effective strategies for response. Through specific case studies, such as the controversy surrounding the BOY LONDON brand, the public relations crisis of the Wahaha brand, the damage to Jiang Ping's personal image, and the "pink-haired girl" incident, this article illustrates how malicious word-of-mouth can erode consumer decision-making autonomy, pose threats to personal physical and mental health, and tarnish the image of brands and enterprises. To address these challenges, companies and governments must take proactive measures, such as monitoring and responding to negative information on the Internet to maintain a positive image and strengthening Internet regulation to ensure the authenticity and transparency of information and to prevent the spread of false information. At the same time, improving public media literacy helps people identify and resist the influence of malicious word-of-mouth.

Dynamic Layer Skipping for Large Language Models on Natural Language Understanding Tasks and Machine Translation Using Reinforcement Learning
Authors: Xu Wei , Jin Xiaodong
Published: October 2024

Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate remarkable proficiency in various natural language processing (NLP) tasks. However, their extensive size, resulting from the inclusion of billions of parameters across multiple layers, presents significant challenges regarding storage, training, and inference. Traditional methodologies such as model pruning and distillation are employed to decrease the size of these models, but these techniques often result in a compromise on performance retention. In this work, we propose a novel framework that uses dynamic layer skipping for different samples to accelerate the inference speed of LLMs. First, we add an adapter layer at each transformer layer to predict whether to skip the next layer or not, and we propose layer skip pretraining to recover the model’s performance. Second, we propose using reinforcement learning (RL) to optimize the model and design several strategies to stabilize the training. Extensive experiments on four natural language understanding (NLU) datasets and three machine translation datasets and ablation studies show that our method achieves SOTA performance among layer skipping methods on LLMs.

In de literatuur over waterbeheer wordt algemeen erkend dat milieuvraagstukken, zoals verontreiniging en overstromingen van rivieren, niet alleen technisch of financieel van aard zijn, maar ook gedragsmatig en interpretatief. Of we milieuvraagstukken interpreteren als uitdagingen, veranderingen of crises, hangt af van onze cognitieve frames (Hajer 2002; Fliervoet 2011). Bovendien handelen mensen vaak niet op basis van waarneming van feiten, maar op basis van hun interpretatie daarvan.

Zwangerschapsdiscriminatie bij de rechter: een kwalitatieve en kwantitatieve analyse
Authors: Hoogenboom Alexander , Jans Hannah
Published: October 2024

In deze bijdrage is onderzocht hoe de Nederlandse rechter van 2012 tot en met 2021 oordeelde over arbeidsconflicten waarin (vermeende) zwangerschapsdiscriminatie centraal stond. Daartoe zijn 25 zaken bestudeerd die via rechtspraak.nl te raadplegen zijn. Voor ieder van de zaken is geanalyseerd of de rechter verwijst naar het toepasselijke Unierecht, hoe deze omging met bewijskwesties, wat de uitkomst van de zaak was en of er een schadevergoeding is toegekend. Vervolgens zijn de zaken kritisch geëvalueerd aan de hand van de standaarden die uit het Europees recht voortvloeien. De auteurs concluderen dat de rechtspraktijk een behoorlijke verscheidenheid en tegenstrijdigheid in de toepassing van de rechtsbeginselen laat zien, met negatieve gevolgen voor de effectiviteit van de non-discriminatienorm.

Art and Language After AI

By ingesting a vast corpus of source material, generative deep learning models are capable of encoding multi-modal data into a shared embedding space, producing synthetic outputs which cannot be decomposed into their constituent parts. These models call into question the relation of conceptualisation and production in creative practices spanning musical composition to visual art. Moreover, artificial intelligence as a research program poses deeper questions regarding the very nature of aesthetic categories and their constitution. In this essay I will consider the intelligibility of the art object through the lens of a particular family of machine learning models, known as ‘latent diffusion’, extending an aesthetic theory to complement the image of thought the models (re)present to us. This will lead to a discussion on the semantics of computational states, probing the inferential and referential capacities of said models. Throughout I will endorse a topological view of computation, which will inform the neural turn in computer science, characterised as a shift from the notion of a stored program to that of a cognitive model. Lastly, I will look at the instability of these models by analysing their limitations in terms of compositionality and grounding.
Nonknowledge in Computation. Reflecting on Irrevocable Uncertainty
Authors: Marenko Betti
Published: October 2024

Abstract
My paper approaches the theme of computational creativity by looking at uncertainty as an epistemic and aesthetic tool that must be examined to address the challenges brought to critical practice by planetary computation. It positions uncertainty as central to how the encounter of the human practitioner with non-human machines is conceptualized, and as a resource for building speculative-pragmatic paths of resistance against algorithmic capture. It proposes ways to cultivate uncertainty and use it as a design material to produce new types of knowledge that question machines’ pre-emptying manoeuvres and resist their capture of potential. The argument proposed is that uncertainty affords the production of new imaginaries of the human-machine encounter that can resist the foreclosure of futures (what will be) and are sustained instead by the uncertainty of potential (what might be) (Munster 2013). Dwelling in a space of potential – Deleuze’s virtual, or what I call a space of ‘maybes’, requires of the practitioner a repositioning of their epistemic perspective and reflecting on the following questions: how can material knowledge be made by engaging with modes of un-knowing and not-knowing in machine interaction? How can these modes of un-knowing and not-knowing be fostered as a critical and political onto-epistemological project of reinventing critical practice for the algorithmic age? (Horl et al. 2021; Hansen 2021, 2015, Pasquinelli and Joler 2020). The paper argues that the machinic unknown should be engaged with - not through the conventional paradigm that pitches human vs machine creativity and attempts to rank and score them through similarities, but rather through a (paradoxical) deepening of the unknowability at the core of the machine (Parisi) and machine’s own incommensurability (Fazi 2020). It then proposes the Chinese notion of wu wei (active non action) (Jullien 2011, 2004, 2000, 1995; Allen 2015, 2011) as a stratagem to experiment with to craft speculative-pragmatic interventions, and to augment the ‘power of maybes’ as a space of anti-production, and resisting reduction (Ito 2019).

The present study aimed to isolate vibrio species from fresh and marine water fish responsible for summer mortality syndrome affecting Cage- cultured grouper species fish (Epinephelus aneus; Epinephelus guaza; Epinephelus alexandrines and Epinephelus caninus) and Lout fish (Argyrosomus regius) farms in Egypt.
A total of 250 fish of each species of grouper species fish (E.aneus; E.guaza; E.alexandrines and E.caninus) and Lout fish (Argyrosomus regius) were collected at different times. The fish samples were collected at summer and autumn seasons. The fish samples were 25 from each species in each season. Clinically diseased fish were collected live then rinsed with sterile water and packed in a sterile polystyrene bag. Collected samples were immediately transported in an icebox to the private fish diseases Lab, Alexandria branch. Grouper fish weight between (500 - 1000) g and Lout fish weight (4 - 4.5) Kg. The collected fish samples were submitted directly to the lab for clinical and bacteriological examination.
The results cleared that, after the clonical signs, post-mortem examination, isolation and identification on different media and molecular identification (PCR) of the isolated bacteria the main bacteria isolated from Grouper and lout were V. alginolyticus and V. parahaemolyticus.
This study concluded that, the Multi stress factors are responsible for summer mortality syndrome affecting cultured grouper species fish (Epinephelus aneus; Epinephelus guaza; Epinephelus alexandrines and Epinephelus caninus) and Lout fish (Argyrosomus regius) in Egypt; thermal stress associated with heatwaves is the main predisposing factor. Co-infections are very common in nature and occur when Cage- cultured grouper species fish (E.aneus; E.guaza; E.alexandrines and E.caninus) and Lout fish (A. regius) are infected by two or more different pathogens either by simultaneous or secondary infections
Gnawing Sticks and Sibling Ameliorative Effects on Growing Rabbits’ Behavior, Production, and Stress Level under Barren Environment
Authors: Ali Ahmed
Published: October 2024

Environmental enrichment could reduce stress in farm animals; however, limited information is available on the level of productivity and welfare indicators in rabbits raised with or without environmental enrichment. 84 young White New Zealand rabbits were used to identify two examples of environmental enrichment (gnawing sticks and sibling) influences on the behavior, production, and stress level of growing rabbits. Two experiments were done; In experiment one; 36 young rabbits were used to test the effect of sex and sibling relationship on the behaviour and weight gain of the growing rabbits, four groups G1 male sibling, G2 male unsibling, G3 female sibling, and G4 female unsibling. In experiment two; 48 young rabbits were used in two steps; in the first step of the trial the preference test of gnawing sticks tree species was performed by using visual evaluation and the second step was to test the influence of the prefered gnawing sticks tree species in the 1st step on the behaviour, performance, and stress level of growing rabbits. They were classified in to two groups G (1) with the prefered G.S and G (2) rabbits without any gnawing sticks. The behaviour of the rabbit groups was recorded at 4 week old till 11 weeks old using focal sampling technique. Weekly body weight and serum cortisole level at 6 and 10 weeks in both experiment was recorded. Gnawing sticks and sibling housing during the growing period result in improvement in growing rabbits behavior (feeding, self grooming, and social smelling), lowering biting wire and feeder, and decrease cortisole hormone level. So that this study recommends to use them for growing rabbit cages during the growing periods to override the barren environment adverse effects.
Study of Graphene Oxide/Polymer Composite Membranes in Air Filtration of PM2.5
Authors: Zhang Yang
Published: October 2024

pollution, particularly the issue of fine particulate matter (PM2.5), which has emerged as a significant environmental and public health concern globally. It is particularly important to develop efficient, economical and sustainable air filtration materials to reduce the concentration of PM2.5. In this study, we investigated the potential application of some polymers such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and polyaniline (PANI) composites with graphene oxide (GO) for efficient PM2.5 filtration. These composites were found to have excellent filtration performance, thermal stability. PVDF/ GO/PI nanofiber membranes maintained stable performance under repetitive filtration cycles and high temperature conditions. PAN/GO/PI nanofiber membranes exhibited good mechanical properties and stable cycling performance.PANI/GO composites took advantage of the unique properties of the conductive polymers, and in TGA experiments, they showed minimal mass loss. Their durability and efficiency remain high even after multiple wash cycles, highlighting their potential for practical applications.
Research on the Measurement of Gold Green Total Factor Productivity in the Yangtze River Economic Belt under the Background of Green Finance
Authors: Zuo Meiling
Published: October 2024

With the continuous growth of the economy, the contradiction between finance and the environment has become increasingly prominent, and green finance has attracted much attention due to its sustainable development function. This study integrates green financial efficiency into green total factor productivity based on the two-stage super efficiency unexpected SBM model, and constructs the financial green total factor productivity of the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2013 to 2021. The convergence model is used to verify the convergence of productivity development. The research results indicate that, in terms of time dimension, the efficiency of green finance in the Yangtze River Economic Belt is relatively stable, the level of financial ecological performance first decreases and then increases, and the financial feedback ecological performance remains at a high level for a long time. The overall trend of financial green total factors is increasing, and financial green technology innovation is an important driving factor for the increase; In terms of convergence testing, no significant alpha convergence was found in the upper, middle, and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and the regional differences did not significantly decrease. However, there was overall beta convergence, indicating a "catch-up effect" from low productivity provinces to high productivity provinces.
