Textbook Sets Through the Perspective of the Orientation of the Intended Chemistry Curriculum for Primary and Secondary Schools
Authors: Hrast Špela , Ferk Savec Vesna
Published: March 2024

Textbooks have a central role in chemistry education and represent the intended chemistry curriculum at the national level. This paper focuses on analysing the intended chemistry curriculum as represented by the visual representations and the activities for students in the textbook sets in relation to the topics of the Slovenian National Chemistry Curriculum both at the primary and secondary school levels. The analysis involved all textbook sets approved by the national representatives for the 2021/2022 school year. The results revealed that in most of the curriculum topics in the analysed Slovenian chemistry textbook sets, the curriculum orientation structure of the discipline prevails and the everyday life orientation is present for both primary and secondary schools. To improve the relevance of the textbook sets for students, the currently rare presence of history of chemistry, environmental orientation, and technology and industry orientation and the lack of the use of socio-scientific orientation should be overcome. It would be valuable if further studies in textbook sets would also address the intended chemistry curriculum from a more holistic perspective.

Authors:   People & Global Business Association, f f , f f , f f
Published: March 2024

Purpose: This study meticulously explored the complexities of online fan engagement, placing a spotlight on the transformative influence of YouTube content produced by the renowned K-pop group, Aespa, and its subsequent impact on user interactions and the group's prevailing image.
Design/methodology/approach: Utilizing a robust text mining methodology, a comprehensive analysis was conducted on 11,039 comments extracted from a specific Aespa YouTube video. This analysis involved the extraction of frequently occurring words, the deployment of a semantic network analysis, and the strategic use of the Co-occurrence network analysis, which collectively provided a profound understanding of fan perceptions and sentiments.
Findings: Central to the findings was the revelation of Aespa's groundbreaking concept, which emerged as a cornerstone in captivating and retaining fan engagement. The data illuminated the depth of fans' interest in Aespa's narrative approach, with many expressing admiration for the group's commitment to delivering high-quality productions.
Research limitations/implications: Their unique blend of music, narrative, and visual aesthetics resonated deeply with the audience, fostering a sense of loyalty and admiration. However, it's imperative to note that the research's purview was limited, focusing solely on comments from one video. This limitation underscores the potential and need for more expansive datasets in subsequent studies, which could provide a more holistic view of fan engagement across multiple content pieces. Additionally, considering the dynamic nature of the K-pop industry and the rapid shifts in public sentiment, there's an evident need for continuous monitoring and analysis.
Originality/value: This investigation not only offers a renewed perspective on the role of digital influence within the vibrant world of K-pop but also accentuates the paramount importance of innovative and distinctive content in amplifying user engagement. It serves as a testament to the evolving landscape of digital influence in the entertainment sector, where content, creativity, and audience engagement intersect in profound ways.

Recent advances in astaxanthin encapsulation have been reported, but hepatotoxic effect remains unclear. The present investigation therefore aimed to examine the effects of encapsulated astaxanthin from white shrimp shells (Litopenaeus vannamei) on liver toxicity. Wistar rats were divided into 6 groups as control (C), and receiving vitamin E (VE), astaxanthin commercial (AC), astaxanthin extracted from white shrimp shells (AE), astaxanthin encapsulation into powder form (AP), and blank powder (BP). The evaluation of liver in response to astaxanthin administration was then assessed in terms of biochemical parameters and histopathological features. Liver enzymes, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), showed no significant differences among all groups of treatment. Histopathological study showed no abnormal changes on liver tissue including hepatic inflammation. Our data demonstrated that astaxanthin encapsulation did not increase the expression of NF-ҡB nuclear translocation and CYP2E1 in comparison with the control group. Additionally, in this study, the consumption of astaxanthin and vitamin E resulted in a reduction in the oxidative stress index (OSI), while the levels of antioxidant enzymes, including glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), were significantly increased compared to the control group. Our data suggested that astaxanthin encapsulation does not cause hepatic toxicity, contributing useful information in the applications of astaxanthin encapsulation technology.

Published: March 2024

Dengue is one of the most widespread arthropod-borne viral diseases that cause negative impact globally. Presently, no effective drug is available to safeguard people against dengue. Ficus deltoidea is Malaysia's famous traditional herb belonging to Moraceae family due to its pharmacological potential. F. deltoidea leaves (FDL) were extracted with n-hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol. Cell cytotoxicity study using MTT assay measuring the formazan absorbance was conducted to determine maximum non-toxic concentration on Vero cells. The antiviral activities of various concentrations of FDL extracts were assessed using virus reduction neutralisation tests against dengue virus type 2. The CC20 value of n-hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol FDL extracts were 2.99 ± 0.31, 22.15 ± 2.39, and 25.22 ± 0.42 µg/mL, respectively. Methanol FDL extract at maximum non-toxic concentration exerted strongest direct extracellular virucidal effect against DENV-2. In cell protection assay, ethyl acetate FDL extract achieved highest reduction in viral infectivity (98.17%), whereas n-hexane FDL extract showed strongest inhibition in DENV-2 viral replication in post-infection assay. Methanol FDL extract showed highest selectivity index value in direct virus inhibition, cell protection and post-infection assay. Conclusively, FDL extracts, especially methanol FDL showed potential antiviral activity against DENV-2, thus considered as promising anti-dengue agent.

Published: March 2024

Research has explored the role of capitalist markets in the configuration of society and as social determinants. However, some niche markets have been taken by a form of capital, conceptualized as “predatory”, that has sought maximum benefit without caring for the social consequences of their activity on beauty, ugliness, freedom, and the overcoming of gender violence. This study addresses this gap by examining how “predatory capital” exploits various aspects of human life, including relationships, art, and music, by promoting ugliness over beauty. Through historical examples such as the tobacco industry's manipulation of women's liberation to promote smoking, this article reveals the detrimental tactics employed by predatory capital. It explores how the nightlife industry coerces youth into harmful behaviors through coercive dominant discourse, perpetuating toxic relationship dynamics and limiting individual freedom. Additionally, the study presents how the music industry reinforces harmful stereotypes and behaviors. Finally, it exposes how pseudo-theories, like those promoted by Foucault, are utilized to justify and perpetuate sexual violence, hindering progress towards freedom, gender equality, and social justice. This interdisciplinary analysis sheds light on the negative impact of predatory capital on human relationships, culture, and society, emphasizing the importance of critical awareness and resistance against its exploitative practices.
Contextualized Rights as Effective Rights to All: The Case of Affirmative Action in Brazil
Authors: Ikawa Daniela
Published: March 2024

This article explores how two main narratives about slavery may lead to varying perspectives on social rights. Some collective narratives endorse a superficial idea of equality of rights, neglecting factors such as race and ethnicity, while others reject this apparent universalistic view, promoting more effective, de facto equality. The latter narrative supports horizontal redistribution, strongly contrasting with the former. Using Brazil’s affirmative action programs for Black students as a case study, this article will address two prevalent national narratives about the slavery of Black Africans and persons of Black African descent. Only one of those narratives could lead to what I would identify as a “contextualized theory of rights,” ensuring horizontal equality amidst a backdrop of brutal slavery and structural racism. This narrative offers a plurally faceted, dialogical approach to rights that can respond to the needs of differently situated individuals. The article will explore the evolution of such a collective narrative in Brazil’s race relations.
Horizontal Redistribution and Roma Inclusion in the Western Balkans: The “Exclusion Amid Inclusion” Dilemma
Authors: Zdeb Aleksandra , Vermeersch Peter
Published: March 2024

Many Roma across Europe continue to face a range of social problems, including ethnic discrimination, marginalisation, residential segregation, socio‐economic inequality, and extremist violence. The lack of effective policies to address these issues has reinforced a climate of hatred against Roma, further isolating many of them. It has also affected their position in the political arena, where Roma remain severely underrepresented. In this article, we analyse the situation of Roma in three Western Balkan countries and the policies developed to support them. We discuss the institutional structures for managing and improving the socio‐economic conditions of identity‐based communities and examine the position of the Roma within these institutional contexts. We also explore attitudes towards Roma‐related policies and how Roma citizens themselves in these three countries perceive their position.
A METHOD FOR DETERMINING FORMANT FREQUENCIES USING SPECTRAL DECOMPOSITION OF THE SPEECH SIGNAL
Authors:   National Aviation University, Kyiv, Ukraine, Zybin Serhii , Belozyorova Yana ,   National Aviation University, Kyiv, Ukraine
Published: March 2024

Formants are one of the main components of speaker identification systems and the accuracy of formant determination is the basis for the efficiency of speaker identification systems. Improving existing speech recognition systems will significantly simplify human-computer interaction when the use of classic interfaces is not possible, as well as make such work more comfortable and efficient. The necessity for research on this topic is due to unsatisfactory results of existing systems with low signal-to-noise ratio, the dependence of the result on humans, as well as low speed of such systems. The following four main formant trackers were used for comparison with the proposed method: PRAAT, SNACK, ASSP and DEEP. There are a number of studies concerning the comparison of formant trackers, but among them it is impossible to single out the one that has the best efficiency. The selection of formants is accompanied by a number of problems associated with their dynamic change in the language process. The complexity is also caused by a number of problems related to the close location of the peaks in the analysis of spectrograms and the problems of correctly determining the peaks of the formant maxima on the spectrogram. Determining the location of the formant on the spectrograms of the vocal signal is quite easy to perform by man, but the automation of this process causes some difficulties. The selection of frequency formants was proposed to be performed in several stages. The result of the review of approaches to the determination of formant frequencies has been the algorithm consisting of the following nine stages. The segmentation of vocal signal into vocalized fragments and pauses is performed by estimating changes in fractal dimension. Obtaining the spectrum of the vocal signal has been performed using a complex Morlet wavelet based on the Gaussian window function. PRAAT, SNACK, ASSP and DEEP formant trackers have been considered for the study. Each of them has been configured on the basis of a set of default parameters set by the developers of these trackers. A set of settings for each of the trackers has been used for comparison. In the study, trackers independently have been performed segmentation into vocalized fragments and pauses using the VTR-TIMIT dataset. The comparative analysis has been showed a fairly high accuracy in determining the formant frequencies in comparison with existing formant trackers.

Published: March 2024

En este estudio se analiza espacialmente la fenología vegetal y sus variaciones a lo largo del tiempo en la España peninsular e Islas Baleares. Para realizar el análisis se ha generado una serie temporal de casi 40 años (1983-2020) a partir de la fusión de valores del índice de vegetación NDVI de imágenes de satélite procedentes de los sensores NOAA-AVHRR y MODIS. El cálculo de las variables fenológicas se ha realizado con TIMESAT 3.3. que ha extraído 13 fenométricas cuya tendencia se ha evaluado a partir del modelo Theil-Sen y la significación de esta con el test de Mann Kendal. Los resultados muestran diferencias regionales entre la España eurosiberiana y la mediterránea respecto a las fenofases de inicio y final de temporada. Las zonas eurosiberianas de media han visto retrasadas sus fechas de inicio y final de temporada, en torno a 0,35 y 0,22 días cada año a lo largo del periodo de estudio respectivamente, mientras que la región mediterránea ha adelantado las fechas de salida de las hojas y la senescencia de media alrededor de 0,07 y 0,05 días al año. También se ha observado una tendencia al reverdecimiento de toda el área de estudio e importantes contrastes entre las cubiertas del suelo que abren la puerta a futuros estudios que profundicen en estas diferencias de comportamiento y en sus interacciones con los cambios en el clima y en la gestión del territorio.
Responsible leadership in a military organization (in the light of opinion surveys of professional soldiers)
Authors: Nagody-Mrozowicz Kazimierz , Pietrakowski Piotr
Published: March 2024

Military leadership is currently an extremely popular and important aspect of managing human resources in difficult, changeable, and unpredictable conditions. The solutions used in modernly managed, well-organized, subsidized, and ethically militarized systems become a point of reference and a model for organizations that encounter perturbations in the management of the organization’s human resources. The most important of them are certainly the sense of trust of subordinates in their superiors and the leaders’ responsibility for the level of staff development. The aim of the research undertaken was to verify the thesis that can be formulated in this affirmative sentence: “A modern commander should be honorable, self-confident, and have the ability to influence his subordinates and shape friendly interpersonal contacts in the group he reports.” The literature search in the field of leadership and questionnaire research were aimed at answering the main research question: “What mental properties and behavioural features should characterize a responsible leader in military organizations?”. The work uses the diagnostic survey method, and the interview was conducted using a multi-factor survey questionnaire on a 30-person study group consisting of professional soldiers aged 25–40. The adopted age range of the study group corresponds to the period of active military service, from the age of graduation to the year of termination of active military service. The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire is composed of two scales, creating a total of 37 randomly ordered statements in the form of single-choice questions. To analyze the distribution of answers, ranks were used to assess the degree of their compliance with the respondents’ beliefs. Based on the conclusions from the conducted research, we have grounds to believe that professional soldiers expect their leader to be helpful to their subordinates and to ensure that the soldiers are motivated to act and perform their tasks. An important behavior that is expected from the commander is the desire to have a common mission in achieving the goal. Based on the research results, it was found that an undesirable feature is the inconsistency of commanders when pointing out the mistakes of their subordinates, who do not devote interest and time to learning how to avoid mistakes and to improve the competence of their subordinates.

Published: March 2024

В научной работе автором рассматривается вопрос об особенностях владения земельными участками в пределах территории Российской Федерации иностранными гражданами. Рассмотрены существующие в законодательстве ограничения правового статуса иностранных граждан в части возможности владения на праве собственности земельным участком. Проведен сравнительно-правовой анализ ряда нормативно-правовых актов, выявлен законодательный пробел в части отсутствия регламентированного порядка принудительной продажи земельного участка. Сделан вывод о том, что в части принудительного отчуждения земельный участков у иностранных граждан, которые не имеют право на владение ими, имеются некоторые законодательные пробелы. Так, например, сам порядок принудительной продажи земельного участка не имеет прямого правового регулирования законом. В связи с чем суды в каждом случае применяют порядок по своему усмотрению. В большинстве случаев суды полагают возможным применить к спорным правоотношениям положения действующего законодательства о принудительной продаже имущества на публичных торгах.

With extracted landmarks, a triplet of areas and their associated geometric invariance are formed. Where later the points on the outer corners of the eyes and nose will be connected with lines that will form a triangle. Later the line length will be calculated using the Euclidean Distance formula so that the area value of the triangle can be obtained. Then the data obtained will be trained using the Support Vector Machine algorithm so that they can recognize faces. And later the system will be implanted into a mobile robot with raspberry.
The reduced mobility of the population of Palócföld : Accessibility proposal for better traffic in the Ipoly Valley
Authors: Feketéné Benkó Kata
Published: March 2024

The territories and borders of European countries changed a lot during the last century, which had a positive effect on some states and a negative effect on others, but in all cases it can be said that it led to a reorganizati-on of territorial processes. In addition to the loss of territory, Hungary does not have a border region where the new state border would not have divided a naturally formed region in two. The borders, among other things, by eliminating transport options, turned the border areas into "backwaters", which led to devaluation.The purpose of the research is to prove that a specific aspect of value creation is the creation of cross-border transport, including the realization of transport accessible to everyone by creating the availability of public transport services. The purpose of cross-border transport is to improve the situation of two peripheral regions that exist side by side, but are unable to cooperate on a permanent basis due to the lack of transport connecti-ons. The first stage of linkages is the existence of infrastructure on which certain activities can be carried out, such as individual modes of transport, organized group transport and freight transport. However, the existence of public transport or public transport services occupies a prominent place in the development of regions. During the research, in addition to the state of the infrastructure, different public transport services were mapped and compared, and the value-creating power of public transport services was verified by comparing social and eco-nomic phenomena.

The aim of the study is to highlight on the negative ecological impacts caused by online commerce, which are directly proportional to the increasing number of orders. The previously thriving e-commerce sector saw further strengthening from 2020 onwards due to responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, this growth also brought about numerous negative externalities, as customers ordered from various retailers, deliveries were handled by different couriers, and supply chains often spanned multiple continents. This also meant that logistical processes imposed significant burdens on the environment, including shipping and the strain caused by packaging materials. Simultaneously, the number of consumers who expect 'green solutions' from service providers has increased. They take this into consideration during their purchases and are even willing to pay more for a product or service that demonstrates sustainability efforts. The study presents the challenges posed by packaging materials in the field of e-commerce. Through the analysis of the available questionnaire, we can gain insights into whether expectations regarding eco-friendly packaging solutions correlate with consumers' educational background, income level, place of residence, age, and gender.

Napjainkban mind globálisan, mind pedig lokálisan kifejezetten nagy figyelmet kap az agrárium, hiszen – többek között – az élelmiszer-előállítás legfőbb színtereként szolgál. Megfogalmazható továbbá, hogy az elmúlt évek, évtizedek során kifejezetten felértékelődött az országhatárokon belüli, a népesség számára megfelelő minőségű és mennyiségű élelmiszertermelés megvalósulása és a gazdálkodás valamennyi szegmensének népszerűsítése, ezzel szemben a generációváltás és a csökkenő mezőgazdasági foglalkoztatottság javításának fontossága is megkérdőjelezhetetlen. Mindezek által megfogalmazható, hogy a primer szektor folyamatos vizsgálata elengedhetetlen, hiszen annak számszerűsíthető változása nagy befolyásoló hatással bír az ország gazdasági helyzetére is. Enélkül képtelenség valóban alkalmazható fejlesztési stratégiát megalkotni akár helyi, térségi civil-szakmai közegben, akár szakpolitikai szinten. Mindehhez szorosan kapcsolódva számos kiváló kutatás jelent meg a mezőgazdasági, erdőgazdálkodási és halászati nemzetgazdasági ág jelentőségéről, mégis érdemesnek tartjuk egy releváns mutatórendszer alapján megvizsgálni a mezőgazdaság, erdőgazdálkodás, halászat (TEÁOR-08: A) nemzetgazdaság ágat átfogó magyarországi viszonylatban, mellyel célunk, hogy újabb társadalmi, gazdasági, infrastrukturális és térgazdasági összefüggéseket tárjunk fel, mindezt a területi versenyképesség vizsgálatának jegyében.
Zaznavanje podvodnih objektov z uporabo generativnih modelov
Authors: Rodríguez Domínguez Sandra , Perš Janez
Published: March 2024

V podvodnih okoljih predstavljajo spremenljiva osvetlitev, motnost vode in biološka raznolikost občutne ovire, zaradi katerih tradicionalne metode računalniškega vida ne delujejo dobro. Tudi učljive metode delujejo le, če uporabimo dovolj raznoliko zbirko podatkov, ki vsebuje vso pričakovano variabilnost podvodnega sveta. Zaradi narave samega podvodnega okolja pa je to lahko težavno, drago ali celo nemogoče, vsekakor pa zahteva veliko delovnih ur za označevanje objektov v učni množici. Ta problem smo naslovili z razvojem nove metodologije, ki na podlagi izjemno majhnega nabora sintetično generiranih slik objektov (10 v našem primeru) in večjega nabora ozadij brez objektov zanimanja (nekaj 100 slik) izdela učno bazo poljubne velikosti, primerno za učenje globokih metod zaznavanja objektov, ki ne zahteva nobenega ročnega označevanja. V našem primeru smo metodologijo uporabili za detekcijo ribe Acanthurus leucosternon, katere podobo za učenje smo generirali s pomočjo orodij DALL-E in Stable Diffusion. Naučen model smo preizkusili na realnih posnetkih tropskih koralnih grebenov z algoritmom zaznavanja objektov YoloV8, pri čemer dosežemo F1=0.6, ne da bi algoritem videl eno samo realistično sliko objekta v času učenja.

Primarno namen same aplikacije ni učenje reševanja Rubikove kocke, saj se uporabnik z njeno uporabo ne uči, temveč samo dela gibe, ki jih aplikacija pokaže. Njen cilj je pomagati, saj če se nekomu zaplete pri reševanju kocke, si lahko z aplikacijo pomaga in kocko vrne v prvotno rešeno stanje. Kar izstopa pri tej aplikaciji v primerjavi z drugimi orodji za reševanje Rubikove kocke, je uporaba kamere kot ključnega elementa. Namesto omejevanja uporabnika na 2D ali 3D grafični prikaz kocke, ki je lahko precej zamudna, ta aplikacija izkoristi kamero, ki omogoča uporabo toka videa kot podlago uporabniškega vmesnika. Uporabnik v realnem času vidi navodila za reševanje Rubikove kocke, kar olajša in pospeši celoten proces reševanja.

Published: March 2024

Hypnosis, a practice often misunderstood and surrounded by misconceptions, has a rich historical lineage dating back to ancient civilizations. Our review explores the relationship between neuroanatomy, genetics, and hypnotic susceptibility, investigating organic factors influencing an individual's responsiveness to hypnosis. This review highlights the importance of hypnosis as a high-level cognitive activity, especially in pain and anxiety management, and emphasizes the potential benefits of integrating hypnosis into healthcare practices. Recent advancements in neuroimaging have provided insights into the neurological mechanisms of hypnosis, while genetic research has expanded its applications. However, persistent misconceptions hinder its acceptance. This article offers a multidisciplinary basic exploration of hypnosis, focusing on its origins, historical development related to psychiatry, the basic neuroimaging findings mainly affecting the limbic system responsible for emotion, and genetic underpinnings. We aim to inspire clinicians, social scientists, and healthcare professionals to effectively integrate the scientific basics of hypnosis into therapeutic practice, contributing to a better understanding of its role in augmenting outcomes.

Remarried families become widespread as a type of family that differs from first marriages both developmentally and structurally. Due to its developmental and structural differences, both the quality and continuity of this families emerge as areas that need to be studied. To offer effective interventions to remarried families, researchers and practitioners in the field of mental health should have access to knowledge on this subject. The literature on remarried families emphasizes biological, non-biological and co-parenting related issues. The expectations, knowledge and perceptions of both the married couple, the children and the surrounding social environment of the remarried family is another important issue. Communication, problem solving, and conflict management can be an important tool in strengthening relationships and preventing negative experiences for families established through remarriage. It is seen that the interventions that deal with the mentioned characteristics of families formed through remarriage are given in the form of group practices, adopting a preventive approach, supported by practices that point to skill acquisition in addition to providing information. Programs offered for families formed through remarriage share commonalities such as remarried family development, parenting skills, communication and problem-solving skills. The effectiveness of interventions for remarriage has been tested by various studies conducted since the late 1970s. While testing the effectiveness of such interventions, it is seen that different outcome variables such as family integrity, dyadic satisfaction, relationship quality, marital continuity, conflict level, stress level and behavioral disorders experienced by family members are considered. Research findings show that interventions for remarriage are effective.

An Assessment of the Evolution of Executive Functions
Authors: SAYAR Filiz
Published: March 2024

Cognitive evolution, as the core subject of fields like paleoanthropology, cognitive archeology, and neuropsychology, has begun to gain more interest in psychology in recent years. Executive functions are viewed from the perspective of cognitive evolution as basic advancements that are crucial to the evolution of language and contemporary cognition. As a metaphor, executive functions refer to advanced cognitive processes (working memory, inhibition, organization, cognitive flexibility, etc.) in the context of complex goal-directed behaviors. Sophisticated cognitive traits like executive functions emerged because of solutions to adaptive issues (survival, reproduction, and social group life) that human ancestors confronted over millions of years and passed them on to their offspring. Although it is accepted that Homo sapiens owes its evolutionary success to Paleolithic living conditions, explaining this process has not always been easy. In this review article, general information about executive functions is presented, followed by a review of scientific explanations about the evolution of executive functions. Evaluations have shown that these alternative scientific explanations based on archaeological, anthropological, and neuropsychological evidence for the evolutionary origins of executive functions do not fit all the pieces of the puzzle. It is believed that novel research models will clarify which of these alternative explanations are proximate causes and which are ultimate causes.

La evaluación como dispositivo político
Authors: Hours Germán
Published: March 2024

En este texto se presenta a la evaluación como objeto a tratar, entendiendo a esta categoría como algo mucho más complejo que la simple reflexión docente sobre la tarea de enseñanza. El objetivo primordial de este artículo, es visibilizar a la evaluación como una categoría fundamentalmente política, que funciona como un dispositivo, que tensiona todas las prácticas educativas, y que se encuentra enmarcada dentro de la episteme moderna, que es la que rige a todas las instituciones en Occidente, conformando un tipo de formación determinada, para un sujeto determinado, consecuente con una sociedad también determinada. Con un enfoque que establece un corrimiento de los estudios habituales planteados por la educación en general, el objeto de tratamiento aquí presentado, es decir, la evaluación, es pensado como un procedimiento que, justificado en premisas pedagógicas, conforma un dispositivo de institucionalización y, por lo tanto, de gobierno, capaz de cobrar diferentes formas, siempre regido de manera directa por la premisa del progreso y el desarrollo de las libertades individuales. Sostenida por las instituciones de manera constante, tiene como objetivo estratégico respaldar al sistema capitalista, formando de manera consecuente al orden que establece, priorizando la reproducción de los modos que el sujeto debe adquirir, definiendo para ello, las bases del saber legítimo que privilegian sus formas constitutivas y que establece-las prácticas discursivas dominantes.
