Continuités et discontinuités dans l’histoire du Refuge protestant aux XVI e et XVII e siècles
Authors: Denis Philippe
Published: October 2024

Le propos de cet article est de comparer les vagues successives du Refuge protestant. Celui-ci peut, à bon droit, être qualifié de global en raison de la dispersion de ses protagonistes sur plusieurs continents. Mais il ne l’est devenu que progressivement. Au xvi e siècle il était essentiellement européen, avec la Suisse, l’Allemagne, l’Angleterre et les Pays-Bas comme principales destinations. Un nombre croissant de réfugiés se rendirent en Amérique du Nord, dans les Antilles et au Cap de Bonne Espérance dans le courant du xvii e siècle. Même s’il existe une indéniable continuité entre la première vague d’émigration protestante au xvi e siècle, ses prolongations au xvii e siècle et la reprise de l’émigration après la Révocation de l’Édit de Nantes, il est permis de qualifier ce dernier épisode de second Refuge tant il se distingue du premier pas son ampleur et son extension géographique. L’article montre que les motivations au départ étaient quelquefois ambiguës et qu’il ne faut pas surestimer l’impact, certes attesté, du Refuge protestant sur l’économie les pays d’accueil.
Du nouveau sur les Heures de Turin-Milan . Proposition d’identification des deux derniers commanditaires
Authors: de Vasselot de Régné Clément
Published: October 2024

Cet article porte sur les Heures de Turin-Milan . Ce manuscrit est le résultat d’un démembrement exceptionnel de livres de prières. Il se compose du Missel de Turin-Milan , dont quatre folios sont aujourd’hui conservés au Musée du Louvre et un au Getty Museum, et du Livre de prières de Turin , détruit en 1904 lors de l’incendie de la Biblioteca Nazionale ed Universitaria de Turin. Depuis plus d’un siècle, ce manuscrit fait l’objet de discussions passionnées en raison des nombreux problèmes d’interprétation qu’il soulève. Cependant, les deux dernières campagnes d’illustrations restent aujourd’hui les moins étudiées. En identifiant des armoiries jusqu’ici non attribuées, cette contribution propose une identification du dernier et de l’avant-dernier commanditaire des Heures Turin-Milan , respectivement Otto van Bronckhorst et Willem van Schagen. Les activités de ces deux mécènes sont examinées plus en détail afin de vérifier la cohérence avec les données dont nous disposons les concernant. Enfin, l’article propose quelques réflexions sur les usages et la circulation des livres de prières enluminés au xv e siècle dans les anciens Pays-Bas.

Authors: Wang Xueyong , Wang Gang , Yang Ping
Published: October 2024

In this paper, we establish Pareto $ Z $-eigenvalue inclusion intervals of tensor eigenvalue complementarity problems based on the spectral radius of symmetric matrices deduced from the provided tensor. Numerical examples are suggested to demonstrate the effectiveness of the results. As an application we offer adequate criteria for the strict copositivity of symmetric tensors.
The impact of stock liquidity on corporate environmental information disclosure: Does climate risk matter?
Authors: Chen Jinyu , Liu Junqi , He Meng
Published: October 2024

From the perspective of the Chinese market microstructure, we took Chinese A-share listed companies as samples to explore the impact and mechanism of stock liquidity on the quality of corporate environmental information disclosure (EID). Our results indicated that stock liquidity has a positive impact on the quality of corporate EID. Using the stock market interconnection events of the 2014 Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and the 2016 Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect as a quasi-natural experiment and applying the Ⅳ approach, the research results remained robust after controlling for endogeneity issues. Moreover, both climate physical risk and climate transition risk positively regulated the relationship between stock liquidity and the quality of corporate EID. Further analysis revealed that the positive impact of stock liquidity on the quality of corporate EID is determined by the information effect path and governance effect path of stock liquidity, and the role of the information effect path is more important. In summary, stock liquidity has had an important feedback effect on Chinese companies' active EID behavior through two pathways: Information effect and governance effect.
Prácticas, técnicas y percepción de rendimientos de expertos de Ecuador y Perú en la construcción con bambú (Guadua)
Authors: Barnet Yann , Jabrane Faouzi , Flores Flores Arantxazú , Moreno Ortiz Fabian
Published: October 2024

En América Latina, la construcción con bambú genera cada vez más interés, sin embargo, no se sabe casi nada sobre sus obreros especializados ni existe un consenso sobre la forma de presupuestar obras con bambú. A través de una encuesta y focus group con expertos peruanos y ecuatorianos que edifican con Guadua, este estudio ofrece información sobre el perfil de esos maestros, su forma de trabajar, sus técnicas y prácticas constructivas, así como su percepción de rendimiento para una serie de tareas específicas a la construcción con bambú. Las comparaciones y las tendencias de esas experiencias acumuladas llevan a determinar estrategias de optimización de procesos constructivos como la prefabricación y una organización de partidas de obras.
Self-supporting thin Shells in Italy. Space and Structure of the Industrial Buildings (1930-1970)
Authors: Currà Edoardo , Giannetti Ilaria , Russo Martina
Published: October 2024

In the Twentieth Century, the industrial buildings featured a broad experimentation on the load-bearing structures suited to the production spaces. Among the structural elements explicitly designed for factories were reinforced concrete thin shells. In Italy, where reinforced concrete was the predominant construction technique for the entire century, the evolution of the thin shells for industrial buildings traced a significant story: starting from the introduction of foreign systems and patents in the 1920s, the design and construction of the thin shells gradually stacked to national productive and technological specificities. This paper presents a historical investigation of the application of thin shells in Italy between 1930 and 1970, remarking, thus, the local contribution of Italian contractors and designers in the evolution of both the design solutions and production process. Furthermore, the study presents a systematic historical and technical framework related to thin shells to support the actions of knowledge and safeguard the industrial building heritage.
Evaluación de sistemas constructivos en la edificación del Sector 5 de la Cañada Real Galiana para su caracterización energética
Authors: Muñoz Antuña Ana , Campos Hidalgo Ana , Martín-Consuegra Fernando
Published: October 2024

La Cañada Real Galiana, a su paso por Madrid, es el mayor asentamiento informal de España. Esta ocupación ha dado paso a una compleja ciudad lineal espontánea. El conflicto sobre el uso y ocupación del suelo en esta vía pecuaria no se ha resuelto pese a la existencia de acuerdos por parte de las administraciones municipales y autonómicas. El trabajo aborda problemas de vulnerabilidad energética a través del análisis de la habitabilidad y la envolvente de las edificaciones. Para enfocarlo se entrevista a profesionales con experiencia de trabajo en primera línea en la Cañada y se propone un inventario para realizar el seguimiento de la tipología constructiva del Sector 5, uno de los más degradados. Se ha elaborado documentación sobre la materialidad de las construcciones residenciales existentes y la idoneidad de los sistemas constructivos con el objetivo puesto en el desarrollo de un catálogo que permita evaluar la edificación.
La iglesia de San Pedro de Ninacaca, Pasco: Testimonio constructivo de las cubiertas mestizas en los Andes centrales de Perú durante el siglo XVI
Authors: Hurtado Valdez Pedro , Dongo Fernández Christian , Cerrón Oyague Tania
Published: October 2024

En Perú casi no existen evidencias de edificios levantados por alarifes españoles en el siglo XVI, debido a terremotos y guerras acontecidos durante las centurias siguientes, produciendo el colapso de dichos edificios o su permanente reconstrucción. Esto hace irreconocible las características que tuvieron en origen, y que se muestra más evidente en la arquitectura religiosa. Recientemente se identificó un templo cuya edificación resulta del siglo XVI, correspondiente a la iglesia San Pedro de Ninacaca localizada en Pasco, la cual mantiene sus rasgos constructivos originales. Este templo permitió realizar una investigación comparada con documentación de archivo y determinar las características reales que tuvieron las primeras cubiertas de edificios religiosos en los Andes centrales peruanos. Se concluye que desde el siglo XVI existió un mestizaje entre las técnicas constructivas españolas y la puesta en obra del poblador local con tecnología prehispánica, con cubiertas rústicas hechas con rollizos, caña y paja.
« Superstition ain’t the way ». L’optimisme du théoricien du complot
Authors: Mazzeo Marco , Bertollini Adriano
Published: October 2024

Cet article aborde le thème des théories du complot d’un point de vue rhétorique et philosophique à partir d’une étude de cas récente : la série documentaire The Ancient Apocalypse de Graham Hancock, produite par Netflix1. Dans ce long documentaire, l’auteur émet l’hypothèse d’une conspiration voulue par les représentants académiques de l’archéologie : ils refuseraient à dessein de reconnaître l’existence d’une ancienne civilisation, hautement développée techniquement et disparue avant la dernière période glaciaire. La raison de cette résistance serait le désir des archéologues de maintenir une position de pouvoir et de prestige qu’ils devraient abandonner s’ils acceptaient un tel changement de paradigme. Le discours de Hancock servira de corpus textuel à analyser d’un point de vue rhétorique en vue d’interroger l’hypothèse philosophique selon laquelle les théories du complot peuvent être comprises comme une forme de superstition (que l’on distingue de la magie, § 1). Dans cette optique, nous nous intéressons à chacune des preuves techniques utilisée pour la persuasion. D’abord, l’éthos (§ 2) qui permet à l’orateur d’apparaitre comme une figure marginale et crédible car dérangeante. Nous analyserons ensuite le logos (§ 3), caractérisé par des sophismes, une logique ambivalente et un récit mythologique faisant office de preuve historique. Enfin (§ 4), nous nous concentrons sur le pathos, qui présente une forme de désintérêt et encourage une disposition à l’inaction.
Complot ou incompétence ? Résoudre l’incohérence dans les discours relatifs à la Covid-19
Authors: Robineau Théophile
Published: October 2024

Cet article montre comment l’analyse des modes de résolution de l’incohérence dans le discours permet de repérer des indices révélateurs du caractère « complotiste » d’un discours et de le distinguer d’un discours « non-complotiste ». Il examine certains des principaux traits de définition du « complotisme » dans la littérature scientifique et, à partir de trois analyses de cas tirées d’entretiens réalisés avec des personnes opposées à la politique sanitaire française durant la crise de la Covid-19, montre la façon dont ces traits peuvent faire écho à certaines formes de résolution de l’incohérence dans le discours. Il propose de montrer comment certains éléments de la rhétorique complotiste peuvent fonctionner davantage comme une stratégie ponctuelle, voire opportuniste que comme une vision du monde totale et systématique.
Esprit critique et discours conspirationnistes : pour des vertus rhétoriques
Authors: Sevestre-Giraud Benjamin
Published: October 2024

Le modèle rhétorique qui a émergé depuis quelques années invite à diversifier les réponses pédagogiques pour prendre en charge la formation à l’esprit critique, et notamment le traitement pédagogique des discours conspirationnistes. La rhétorique y est souvent définie, par les rhétoriciens eux-mêmes, comme un art neutre du discours persuasif, sensible aux normes d’efficacité, mais indépendant de la vérité et de la morale. Cependant, il est clair que la rhétorique n’a pas pour seul objectif de former des « habiles persuadeurs », sans aucune autre considération, puisqu’elle se présente dans le même temps comme une éducation plus large à la citoyenneté démocratique. Ces orateurs, formés par la technique rhétorique, ne sont pourtant jamais définis, dans la mesure où les rhétoriciens contemporains ont progressivement abandonné la réflexion normative sur les (bons) orateurs, qui était autrefois menée dans la tradition rhétorique. Les discours conspirationnistes, plus vivement que d’autres objets pédagogiques, impliquent pourtant, par leur désignation même, des normes et des valeurs qui les isolent d’autres catégories de discours, jugés plus acceptables ou moins dangereux pour la vie démocratique. Face à ce constat, cet article propose une reconceptualisation de la rhétorique qui explicite la dimension normative de son projet d’éducation. Définie comme une discipline – et non plus comme une technique neutre –, la rhétorique viserait aujourd’hui à former de (bons) orateurs et de (bonnes) oratrices, qui possèdent des dispositions à (bien) agir, à (bien) parler et à (bien) penser dans le contexte de la démocratie pluraliste contemporaine et de ses valeurs. Ces dispositions pourraient être nommées, dans le vocabulaire de l’éthique des vertus, « vertus rhétoriques » ou « vertus des orateurs et des oratrices ».
Les dérives de la métalepse : pour une lecture figurative des récits conspirationnistes. L’exemple d’Umberto Eco et la machine complotiste
Authors: Cueille Julien
Published: October 2024

Nombre d’experts du complotisme réduisent le phénomène à sa dimension rationnelle, voire cognitive. La dimension esthétique et le plaisir narratif sont pourtant manifestes dans les discours conspirationnistes, dont la rhétorique épouse étroitement les codes des fictions populaires. N’a-t-on pas sous-estimé la recherche du « plaire » ? Nous postulons une continuité entre l’attitude des publics face aux fictions et face aux « théories du complot », devenues relativement indiscernables dans le contexte contemporain de surabondance informationnelle. L’œuvre d’Umberto Eco est particulièrement éclairante en ce sens, car axée sur la question de l’indiscernabilité du vrai et du vraisemblable, et attachée à la métalepse comme transgression du pacte fictionnel. La réception de deux de ses grands romans « conspirationnistes », Le pendule de Foucault et Le cimetière de Prague, révèle une émancipation du trope métaleptique : le romancier, par ailleurs connu pour son antifascisme, se trouve en effet accusé de complaisance envers l’antisémitisme.
La place de la rhétorique argumentative dans la perspective interdisciplinaire de l’analyste du discours : réflexions sur un ouvrage de P. Charaudeau
Authors: Koren Roselyne
Published: October 2024

Ces réflexions critiques portent sur le statut que l’un des fondateurs de l’analyse du discours dite « à la française », Patrick Charaudeau, attribue à la rhétorique argumentative dans les sciences du langage. Elle est évoquée dans son ouvrage de 2023, mais ne figure pas dans les principaux recensements qui désignent les différents courants des sciences du langage. Il y analyse, de plus, quelques stratégies majeures auxquelles recourt le sujet parlant, lesquelles jouent de tout temps un rôle fondamental dans la rhétorique argumentative et plus spécifiquement la Nouvelle rhétorique perelmanienne, sans s’y référer. Il s’agit donc ici de problématiser ces paradoxes épistémiques, mais aussi de montrer comment la rhétorique pourrait contribuer à enrichir trois des notions clés de cet ouvrage : la fonction holistique du contrat de communication ; la défense de l’existence d’une autonomie partielle, mais irréfutable du sujet parlant et de son double : le sujet interprétant ; la notion d’influence.
Stratégies rhétoriques pour contrer les discours conspirationnistes anti-vax (Covid-19) : la campagne #ThinkBeforeSharing
Authors: Martina Zagarella Roberta , Annoni Marco
Published: October 2024

Le but de cet article est d’explorer la manière dont les institutions peuvent contrer les théories du complot en utilisant des ressources discursives appropriées. Nous analysons, en utilisant une approche rhétorique, la première campagne d'information européenne lancée en 2020 pour lutter contre les théories du complot sur les vaccins Covid-19. Sur cette base, nous proposons une série de recommandations pratiques pour aider les institutions à contrer les théories du complot par des campagnes d’information.
Rhetoric and psychology: the interdisciplinary challenge of conspiracy theories
Authors: Donckier de Donceel Lucie
Published: October 2024

Conspiracy theories are now central to our democratic societies, the academic world, and civil society. All seem to agree that we should be able to prevent the presence and spread of conspiracy theories in the public sphere. While this objective is generally recognized, the way to achieve it remains unclear. Like others, we believe that interdisciplinarity is one possible answer. However, this path presents several challenges, the first of which is mutual understanding. In this article, we examine the book of Iacone, Loria, and Meini on conspiracy (2023), to show how the psychological and rhetorical approaches to conspiracy theories can dialogue and understand each other.
Instruments of the EU Climate Policy
Authors: Křepelka Filip
Published: October 2024

This chapter explores the concept of instruments of the EU climate policy by addressing three formal aspects of law expressing the policy on mitigating a climate crisis: terminology concerning instruments (part II), the choice of legal instruments (part III) and position and role of these instruments (part IV). Thus, it aspires to complete the reflection of legal scholars, focusing on the substance of rapidly developing climate law.
(In)coherence of the EU External Policy impact on business and human rights developments in the post-Soviet region
Authors: Uvarova Olena
Published: October 2024

The lack of coherence in the EU’s external policy’s impact on business and human rights (hereinafter ‘BHR’) developments is most evident in its relations with post-Soviet countries. A prime example of this is the European Council’s decision to grant candidate country status to Ukraine and Moldova in June 2022. Despite extraordinary geopolitical importance, human rights issues are voiced in this document in the context of governmental institution reforms only. In parallel, the Green agenda and sustainable connectivity focus on energy and green transition to the detriment of human rights, and without any attention to the role of business actors and their possible or real impact on human rights. The Eastern European and Central Asian region1 (hereinafter ‘EECA’) shares a common post-Soviet legacy, characterised by periods of undemocratic regimes, limited competition in key sectors, strong state control over economic processes, and significant state participation in the economy (state-owned enterprises, etc.). These factors have led to a lack of tradition in businesses taking responsibility, and a lack of societal expectations and awareness regarding holding businesses accountable. Despite some positive efforts in certain countries, largely driven by the impact of association agreements with the EU,2 Eastern Partnership initiatives,3 and EU human rights dialogues,4 the region continues to be plagued by the lack of implementation of the BHR agenda. This chapter aims to explore the role of EU external policy in BHR developments in the EECA. In order to address this cross-cutting issue, several sub-questions are raised: 1) What are the key factors influencing the BHR landscape in the region?; 2) How does EU external policy strike a balance between market economy development and improving the business environment on one hand, and promoting responsible business conduct on the other?; and 3) What principles should ensure such a balance?
Sustainability, the principle of environmental integration in EU law, and the legal form of planning acts
Authors: Karpus Karolina
Published: October 2024

This chapter argues that the integrated approach, as an inherent aspect of sustainable transformation of socio-economic life, raises vital theoretical challenges for the contemporary legal system. These can be examined with help of the responsive law paradigm. Presently, public planning at EU level, motivated by environmental goals, is an area that may be used for the purpose of illustrating the trials of ‘greening’ the theory of sources of law. The search of cohesion between policy and law is reflected in the planning act, which is a formal result of law-making activities integrating human development and environmental protection. This chapter attempts to identify and comment on the two key models of planning acts functioning in EU law. Simultaneously, it endeavours to critically assess the state of affairs in that regard following the enactment of the European Green Deal in 2019.
E-government and Environmental Protection Towards Greater Sustainability
Authors: Kawka Inga
Published: October 2024

Sustainable development is a rising principle of the EU legal system. It emphasises values such as the social and economic welfare of the EU and its Member States, and the quality of the environment that must be respected when formulating and implementing all EU policies. This should also be the case with the current EU priority, which is the digitalisation of Europe, including the digitalisation of the EU and the administration of its Member States. This article analyses how the principle of sustainable development, based on three pillars – balanced economic growth, a social market economy, and a high level of environmental protection – is taken into account by EU institutions in the context of a digital transformation. Next, the paper focuses on the relationship between the digitalisation of public administration and environmental sustainability. Digital tools used by the administration, such as artificial intelligence, 5G, cloud and edge computing, and the Internet of Things, can be the driving force of the ecological transformation of Europe. Nevertheless, the threats to the environment that may result from ICT development should also not be underestimated.
Sustainability and the Recommendations of the Holy See to EU Member States
Authors: Mengès-Le-Pape Christine
Published: October 2024

On 16 September 2015, Pope Francis addressed a speech to the environment ministers of the EU member states. Their meeting at the Vatican was important, it preceded the 21st Conference of the parties held in Paris in the autumn of 2015. Above all, it underlined the long-standing ecological tradition of ‘old Europe’, which has become a model, with the figure of Francis of Assisi, in response to many calls for the safeguarding of creation. This address, as well as other pontifical texts that have preceded and followed on the theme of environmental degradation, denounces the attacks on respect owed to nature, and the disorderly exploitation of its resources. In it, the Holy See affirms how urgent the challenges of sustainability have become, and recommends – on the behalf of European institutions – that fundamental principles be respected. The September 2015 speech proposes three principles: solidarity, which establishes the link between the ecological crisis, the poorest and future generations; justice, which also visits north-south relations, and the ecological debt that the Member States of the European Union must honour by setting a good example, especially in promoting sustainable development programmes; and finally, the principle of participation, which concerns the political decision-making processes. This speech of September 2015 will give rise to doctrinal comments situated between law and theology.

Las figuras cómicas del mono y de los portadores de pintura corporal negra entre los nahuas prehispánicos y su transformación en la época colonial
Authors: Brylak Agnieszka
Published: October 2024

El artículo tiene como objetivo el estudio de los fenómenos del humor y la risa en la cultura nahua prehispánica enfocándose en dos figuras burlescas: el mono y los seres portadores de pintura corporal negra. Se analizan su función y sus vínculos con lo risible en narrativas sagradas y en manifestaciones performativas de la cultura, tales como las fiestas religiosas y los espectáculos. Debido a la presencia de los mismos tipos –el simio y el negro o el diablo– en la cultura popular y carnavalesca medieval y renacentista, una parte de este estudio mencionará brevemente la transformación de los bufones prehispánicos y su fusión con sus homólogos europeos que se dio en la época colonial en Nueva España.
Social Development Through Gaming and Gaming Industry
Authors: Costello Robert
Published: October 2024

For some individuals with autism, everyday stimuli such as crowded public places, lighting, sounds, and even touch can be highly unpleasant. The increasing prevalence of ASD has driven the research community on the therapy of individuals with autism, especially children/adolescents, to improve and accommodate the condition. This research explores social gaming and gaming design approaches to support meaningful dialogs and enhance interaction. Through careful support and management from many different disciplinary areas, addressing accessibility issues could assist individuals with health issues like obesity, poor self-related health issues (diabetes and heart diseases), ASD, and visual impairments to welfare and emotional needs, too.
The Influence of Recreational Sports Participation on Physical and Mental Health and Quality of Life Among Middle-Aged Adults (45-60 Years Old)
Authors: Dao Thuc Chanh
Published: October 2024

This study examines the impact of recreational sports participation on physical and mental health, and quality of life among middle-aged adults (45-60 years old) in Ho Chi Minh City. Using a convenience sample (n=224) and structural equation modeling, the study found that 1) recreational sports participation positively influences both physical and mental health, 2) enhanced physical and mental health contribute to higher quality of life, 3) physical and mental health mediate the relationship between sports participation and quality of life. Notably, “centrality” emerged as a key motivator for engagement, while “mental health” and “social interaction” were particularly significant for overall well-being. These findings highlight the importance of promoting recreational sports for successful aging in rapidly aging societies.

Published: October 2024

This study explores the characteristics of Digital Governance trends using the Scopus database from 2012 to 2022 using the CiteSpace application. E-Government is an effort to use information and communication technology to improve government efficiency, effectiveness, transparency, and accountability. The public sector is responsible for providing goods and services to the public that are paid for through taxes or other state revenues. Its primary role is to organize, activate and direct the provision of goods and services. It was found that the number of publications on Digital Governance has increased in the last ten years, and the United States is the strongest country in this area of research. Public service is an activity or a series of activities to meet service needs. Moreover, regional offices and work units must change the paradigm of the pattern of public service delivery from being oriented as a service provider to being oriented towards the community's needs as service users.

Collective Intelligence of Port Territory Stakeholders
Authors: Bensfia Chafik
Published: October 2024

In a global context marked by the globalization of economies, and by the adoption of information technologies as key success factors for standing out in an environment of fierce intra- and inter-regional competition, territorial development players are called upon to establish a climate of territorial economic intelligence, in order to provide good strategic information for successful decision-making by territorial players in an intelligent way. The port territory will not escape this context of change, and plays a crucial role in global supply chains, which are facing major structural transformations and transitions in the fields of sustainability, energy transition and geo-economics. The role of port intelligence is increasingly crucial in managing these transitions. Port intelligence presents multiple challenges in terms of technology and governance in managing a complex ecosystem that requires the implementation of a community system that brings together all stakeholders in the port territory. As a result, we aim to highlight the role of this port community system (PCS) in improving port intelligence. Accordingly, our study is divided into two parts: a theoretical approach aimed at providing a review of the role of the PCS in enhancing port intelligence, and a quantitative, hypothetico-deductive approach.

Four soluble factors—putrescine, glucosamine, nicotinamide, and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) inhibitor BP-1-102—were shown to differentiate bone marrow mononucleated cells (BMNCs) into functional insulin-producing cells (IPCs) in vitro. Transplantation of these IPCs improved hyperglycemia in diabetic mice. However, the role of endogenous BMNC regeneration in this effect was unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of these factors on in vivo BMNC differentiation into IPCs in diabetic mice. Mice were orally administered the factors for 5 days, twice at 2-week intervals, and monitored for 45–55 days. Glucose tolerance, glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, and pancreatic insulin content were measured. Chimeric mice harboring BMNCs from insulin promoter luciferase/green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgenic mice were used to track endogenous BMNC fate. These factors lowered blood glucose levels, improved glucose tolerance, and enhanced insulin secretion. Immunostaining confirmed IPCs in the pancreas, showing the potential of these factors to induce β-cell regeneration and improve diabetes treatment.

Published: October 2024

This study aimed to examine the status of culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP) practices among upper primary school mathematics teachers in North Wollo Zone, Ethiopia. To achieve this purpose, the researchers employed a mixed-methods convergent research design. The participants included teachers, students, principals, and department heads. Data were collected from these participants through questionnaires and interviews, and analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative techniques. Results indicated that teachers employed CRP strategies in mathematics instruction on an occasional basis. Furthermore, the results revealed significant correlations between the independent variables—school location, teaching experience, CRP perception, and CRP competency—and the practice of CRP. Notably, teaching experience and CRP competencies were found to positively and significantly predict the dependent variable of CRP practices in mathematics education. These findings underscore the need for teachers to gain teaching experience, enhance their cultural competence, and exchange insights on implementing responsive teaching methods that integrate cultural elements and real-life contexts.

Published: October 2024

This study aimed to examine the development trends of micro and small enterprises and the challenges of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) interventions in Ethiopia, focusing on Bahir Dar City. For this purpose, a mixed methods research approach involving both quantitative and qualitative data from archives and interviews with officers, trainers, and enterprise owners was employed. The results of the study revealed an increase in enterprise enrollment from 2008 to 2021. However, the overall development progress remained notably low, as indicated by the limited proportions of enterprises reaching maturity stages. Moreover, the planning and implementation of TVET programs were found to be misaligned with the needs of various employment sectors, primarily due to lack of occupational standards, inadequacies in trainer availability, and deficiencies in skills and resources. This study proposed strategies to improve current performance and to address systemic challenges sustainably, including training on curriculum development.
