Cáncer de mama, discurso y cognición
Authors: Domínguez Chenguayen Frank Joseh , Conchacalle Cáceres Diana Ibelice
Published: November 2024

Siendo el cáncer de mama una afección importante en términos cuantitativos que pone en riesgo la vida y la salud de las mujeres peruanas (Posso et al., 2015), es conveniente ir más allá de los hechos médicos objetivos (e. g., empleo de fármacos, cirugías, etc.), y evaluar también cómo la población femenina de dicho país experimenta, comprende, expresa y se relaciona con la enfermedad. En esta línea, este trabajo busca analizar la forma en la que la mujer peruana experimenta y concibe su enfermedad, así como la manera en que la vive y la afronta día a día. Para ello, estudiamos las metáforas y los esquemas de imagen involucrados en la construcción discursiva de la enfermedad a partir de un conjunto de testimonios reales de mujeres peruanas que, luego de haberse recuperado o en el transcurso de su recuperación, decidieron contar sus historias para inspirar y dar soporte a otras mujeres que aún padecen la afección. Como resultado, los discursos analizados descubren una serie de representaciones específicas en las que la mujer configura su experiencia alrededor de la enfermedad mediante dominios conceptuales involucrados con la guerra y las personas, pero también con ciertas estructuras rudimentarias que configuran su forma de entender el cáncer, como los esquemas de contención, locomoción y fuerza.
From Beasts to Faulty Wiring: Metaphorical Images of Multiple Sclerosis as described by women
Authors: Campos Pardillos Miguel Ángel
Published: November 2024

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease affecting the brain and the spinal cord, in which the immune system attacks the myelin that protects nerve fibres, thus causing permanent damage resulting in various types of disabilities. As a (to date) incurable disease, the experience of the patient becomes central in coping with the many symptoms, especially in the way it is communicated, not only to treating physicians, but also to society at large. Over the last years MS, which a century ago seemed to affect women and men alike, has shown an increasing prevalence in the female to male ratio, both in small cohorts (Kotzamani et al., 2012; Krökki et al. 2011), and worldwide (Sellner et al., 2011). In view of this tendency, the study of MS has begun to include a gender approach, focusing on the potential explanatory factors, but also on the specific circumstances affecting women (Jobin et al., 2010). In our paper, drawing from a sample extracted from online testimonials, an analysis will be carried out of the various metaphorical imagery used by women to explain their symptoms to doctors, relatives, and society at large. Following the traditional classification by Lakoff and Johnson (1980: 14), we shall explore the framings used, which may lead to positive or negative experiences of the disease and may have an empowering potential when patients «fight» MS in the general framework of managing the condition.
From Evictions to Shame: Exploring Hysterectomy Through Metaphor
Authors: Ramírez Polo Laura
Published: November 2024

The present study analyzes metaphorical expressions related to hysterectomy in a diverse corpus comprising scientific texts, Reddit forums, and patient-authored articles and blogs. The research aims to understand how hysterectomy is discursively constructed and experienced by women. The corpus reveals a range of metaphors from clinical descriptions to personal and creative expressions. The analysis shows that metaphors not only reflect but also influence women's perceptions of their bodies and the procedure. The study identifies metaphors including the uterus as a 'tenant' or 'kidnapper,' and the procedure as an 'eviction' or a 'robbery', highlighting the emotional and psychological aspects of hysterectomy. Limitations include the corpus size, lack of metadata to establish more correlations, and its Western-centric perspective, suggesting the need for more inclusive research. The study contributes to the discourse on women's health, emphasizing the role of language in shaping medical experiences. It underscores the need for understanding metaphorical language to improve communication and support for women undergoing hysterectomy.
Marcos de la menopausia desde el lenguaje emocional negativo
Authors: Vargas Sierra Chelo
Published: November 2024

Este estudio emplea un enfoque basado en corpus para analizar los marcos metafóricos de la menopausia en el discurso, específicamente a través del lenguaje emocional negativo. Utilizamos Wmatrix para el análisis de corpus, centrándonos inicialmente en las etiquetas semánticas de las emociones más frecuentes. A partir de estas, hemos extraído y examinado las expresiones metafóricas relacionadas con diversos aspectos de la menopausia, incluidos sus procesos biológicos y los estados emocionales y mentales que se le asociaban. El objetivo es descubrir los marcos metafóricos predominantes, evaluando cómo influyen en la conceptualización de la menopausia y su impacto en la percepción social. Los resultados destacan cuatro marcos principales: la menopausia como turbulencia emocional, cambio disruptivo, conflicto hormonal y desafío para la identidad social y personal. El estudio concluye que estos marcos metafóricos dominantes contribuyen a reforzar estereotipos negativos sobre las mujeres al caracterizar esta etapa de la vida por la confusión emocional, la pérdida de identidad y una amplia gama de síntomas. Esto resulta en una simplificación excesiva y una representación negativa de esta transición vital.

Authors: Brown Dr. Brendan , Llewellyn Dr. Rick
Published: November 2024

This report evaluates the Adoption and Diffusion Outcome Prediction Tool (ADOPT) as a decision support system for agricultural policy across APO member economies. Through validation studies in Bangladesh, India, and Lao PDR, the research demonstrates ADOPT's strength in predicting peak adoption rates while identifying its tendency to overestimate adoption speed in developing contexts. The study introduces the 'Four Ps' framework and concludes that ADOPT, combined with structured analysis methods, provides valuable support for data-driven agricultural policy decisions in Asian contexts.
O PAPEL DO ENFERMEIRO NA PROMOÇÃO DA SAÚDE MENTAL EM ADOLESCENTES
Authors: Schimidt Souza Daniela , Eurides de Oliveira Alessandra , Gomes da Silva Fabriciana , Leal Oliveira Mariana
Published: November 2024

A adolescência é um período de desenvolvimento fundamental na vida de um indivíduo, caracterizado por uma transição significativa e a descoberta de sentimentos, além do aprofundamento do autoconhecimento e da compreensão da sociedade em que se está inserido. É um momento em que o estresse, as mudanças fisiológicas e as transformações socioambientais podem evidenciar preocupações relacionadas à saúde mental, que precisam ser cuidadosamente observadas. A promoção da saúde mental entre adolescentes é um aspecto crucial da prática da enfermagem, uma vez que os transtornos mentais podem ter um impacto significativo na vida dos jovens. O enfermeiro, como profissional capacitado, desempenha um papel essencial na identificação precoce, no atendimento intervencionista com foco em uma escuta ativa e humanizada, e no suporte emocional, o que contribui para uma melhor aderência ao tratamento. Além disso, o enfermeiro tem a responsabilidade de educar e promover o aprendizado, desmistificando a temática da saúde mental. O objetivo deste estudo é descrever a importância do papel do enfermeiro na promoção da saúde mental em adolescentes. Baseado em uma revisão da literatura, o estudo destaca a relevância de uma abordagem educativa e da identificação e intervenções terapêuticas integradas para promover a saúde mental dos jovens. As estratégias desenvolvidas pelos enfermeiros devem abordar as necessidades práticas frequentemente destes adolescentes, garantindo assim uma abordagem abrangente e eficaz nos cuidados prestados.
AVALIAÇÃO DA QUALIDADE DA MATA CILIAR DE BACIA HIDROGRÁFICA URBANA
Authors: Comar Pinhotti Aguiar Maisa , Da Silva Tavares Patrícia Aparecida , Souza Alvarenga Ana Flávia
Published: November 2024

As bacias hidrográficas urbanas estão continuamente sujeitas a intervenções antrópicas que  podem comprometer sua qualidade, funções hidrológicas e serviços ecossistêmicos que nela se desenvolvem. A sua qualidade ambiental pode ser avaliada através de vários indicadores ambientais sendo um dos mais utilizados é a mata ciliar ou floresta ripária ou ainda zona ripária, que margeia os cursos de água e atua como uma área de transição entre o ambiente terrestre e o rio. Essa região atua como abrigo de flora e fauna, contribui para regulação do fluxo nos cursos d´água, mitigação da contaminação das águas por poluentes químicos, amortecimento de cheias, absorção de nutrientes carregados pela chuva entre outras funções. Considerando a falta de estudos relacionados à qualidade ambiental da Bacia do Córrego Jacuí no municipio de João Monlevade (MG) e o papel vital exercido por essa vegetação, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo boter uma avaliação qualitativa da mata ciliar desta bacia através da aplicação do protocolo de avaliação rápida da mata ciliar (indice RQI) proposto por Tanago e Jalon (2011), onde são atribuidos valores a parâmetros como condições das margens, tipo e estado da vegetação. A pontuação obtida variou de 22 a 50 (muito ruim a ruim) e reflete as condições ambientais e os processos de degradação que ocorrem na bacia estudada como a supressão (total ou parcial) da mata ciliar, substituição da vegetação nativa por espécies exóticas e processos erosivos. Adicionalmente, a falta da mata ciliar como elemento protetivo das margens do Córrego Jacuí contribui para a ocorrência de enchentes e erosão recorrentes na microbacia, comprometendo a sua qualidade ambiental e os serviços ecossistêmicos prestados por ela.
Palavras-chave: rios urbanos; avaliação rápida de rios; indicadores ambientais, serviços ecossistêmicos.

Authors: MACHADO DE OLIVEIRA DANIELLE , BIANCA DOS SANTOS FRIGATO KARINA , Gomes Soares Priscila
Published: November 2024

Introdução: O tratamento endodôntico visa a preservação do dente comprometido por lesões pulpares, que podem ter anatomias variadas, dificultando o sucesso do tratamento.  O canal radicular c-shaped tem formato de “C” é uma alteração anatômica, mais facilmente encontrada em segundos molares, principalmente nos inferiores, é parecida com uma fenda e sua morfologia pode dificultar a identificação radiográfica simples. Por esse motivo, a tomografia de alta resolução é o exame ideal para o diagnóstico desse tipo de variação. Compreender a anatomia das raízes dentárias é importante para procedimentos odontológicos nesse caso o tratamento de canal. Durante o tratamento o conhecimento detalhado das raízes permite ao endodontista identificar canais radiculares, localizar possíveis anomalias anatômicas entre esses a forma de C, logo verificar os diferentes tipos de radiologia, pois desempenham um papel importante na identificação dos canais radiculares e no planejamento dos tratamentos endodônticos. Objetivo: é mostrar através de uma revisão de literatura a variação da anatomia dental em forma de C dos molares inferiores, que podem interferir no sucesso do tratamento endodôntico. Metodologia: Pesquisa bibliográfica e exploratória com revisão da literatura a partir do levantamento de referências técnicas analisadas por meios de escritos e eletrônicos, livros, artigos científicos, estudos e relatos de casos usando palavras chaves: endodontia, anatomia dentária, molar em forma de c e radiografias. Resultados: Dentre 247 artigos pesquisados, 15 foram selecionados para fundamentar o trabalho. Considerações Finais: Cada paciente deve ser tratado de forma individualizada, levando em consideração suas peculiaridades anatômicas, histórico clínico e necessidades específicas.

El papel de las diputaciones provinciales ante los fondos Next Generation EU
Authors: Luria Roig Maria
Published: November 2024

Los fondos NextGenerationEU han brindado una oportunidad única para el desarrollo local en España. Este estudio analiza cuál ha sido el papel de los entes locales y, en particular, de las diputaciones provinciales en la captación y gestión de estos fondos desde la aprobación del Plan de Recuperación. Se examina la arquitectura de gestión y la gobernanza multinivel prevista, los mecanismos de participación impulsados en la práctica, así como los principales ámbitos de inversión y su alineamiento con las competencias de este nivel de gobierno. Para ello, el estudio también se apoya en los resultados de una encuesta realizada al conjunto de diputaciones provinciales. Su rol como agente facilitador para contribuir a la captación de recursos en sus territorios de referencia es palpable. Sin embargo, se ha perdido la oportunidad de impulsar a las diputaciones provinciales como gestoras directas de proyectos de ámbito supramunicipal. Ello nos invita a tener en cuenta las lecciones aprendidas de cara al diseño de una futura arquitectura de fondos europeos que otorgue a las diputaciones provinciales un mayor protagonismo en la coordinación, diseño y gestión de este tipo de ayudas.
La obligación solidaria para el pago de las multas: una de las varias maneras de vulnerar el principio de responsabilidad personal en materia sancionatoria
Authors: Ospina Garzón Andrés Fernando
Published: November 2024

Uno de los principios fundamentales para el ejercicio del poder sancionador de la Administración es el de personalidad de las sanciones. Se trata de la prohibición de responder sancionatoriamente por el hecho de otro. Este principio enfrenta importantes retos prácticos en la imposición de sanciones por infracciones de tráfico y seguridad vial, particularmente cuando la contravención fue detectada por medios tecnológicos automatizados, incapaces de identificar al autor de la infracción. En este caso, la pregunta que surge es si la carga probatoria pesa aún sobre el Estado o si, por el contrario, podría trasladarse al propietario del vehículo. El derecho colombiano intentó solucionar este problema a través de la previsión legal de una solidaridad entre el propietario y el conductor del vehículo. Ante la declaratoria de inconstitucionalidad de la medida, otras alternativas se han intentado, cuya compatibilidad con el principio de responsabilidad sancionatoria personal resulta dudosa.
Educación a Distancia e Innovación en la UDB
Authors: Menjívar Valencia Eduardo
Published: November 2024

Según la Unesco (2020) más de 190 países cerraron sus instituciones educativas a raíz de la pandemia provocada por el COVID 19. La gran mayoría de estos países optaron por la continuidad del proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje a través de la educación a distancia, educación virtual, educación remota, educación en línea, educación conectada, entre otras opciones que emergieron en ese momento. Sin embargo, la gran mayoría de los centros de enseñanza a nivel mundial no tenían las herramientas y la infraestructura digital adecuada para enfrentarse a escenarios que dependían exclusivamente de recursos tecnológicos. Sin duda, esta situación agudizó aún más las brechas digitales que ya existían en distintos países antes de la crisis sanitaria que vivió el mundo.
Kajian Makna Lamastumunnisa' dalam Surat An-Nisa': Studi komparatif Perspektif Madzhab Hanafi dan Syafi’i
Authors: Muhammad Fahmi Aziz  , Nuril Aida Rodiana  , Nasrulloh Nasrulloh
Published: November 2024

Penafsiran lafadz lamastumunnisa' dalam surat An-Nisa’ ayat 43 telah menjadi sumber ikhtilaf di kalangan ulama fiqih, khususnya dalam mazhab Hanafi dan Syafi’i. Imam Hanafi menginterpretasikan lafadz ini sebagai bentuk kinayah yang mengacu pada hubungan jima’ (hubungan seksual) antara suami dan istri, bukan sekadar sentuhan fisik. Berdasarkan adanya alif dalam kata tersebut, Imam Hanafi berpendapat bahwa lamastumunnisa' mencakup makna yang lebih dalam, menunjukkan hubungan yang lebih intim. Sebaliknya, Imam Syafi’i dalam kitabnya Al-Umm menafsirkan kata lamastumunnisa' sebagai "menyentuh" secara literal tanpa melibatkan hubungan seksual, didukung oleh qiro'at dari Hamzah dan Kasa’i yang tidak menyertakan alif. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam kajian ini adalah metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan kajian pustaka (library research). Pendekatan ini memungkinkan peneliti mengeksplorasi secara mendalam pandangan kedua mazhab melalui analisis literatur klasik dan modern yang relevan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi perbedaan pandangan tersebut dan memberikan wawasan tentang bagaimana metode istinbath hukum yang berbeda memengaruhi praktik ibadah dalam Islam.

Tema 1. La mundialización de los derechos laborales ante la globalización económica
Authors: Giusti Soto Juan Luis
Published: November 2024

En el marco de la 97.ª Conferencia Internacional del Trabajo, del 2008, el director general de la OIT, Juan Somavia, indicó que estábamos ante "una globalización sin justicia social" y que el organismo que dirige tiene "la oportunidad única para desempeñar un papel central en un sistema de gobierno global emergente que combine estabilidad financiera e inversión para el desarrollo con comercio justo y trabajo decente". Ante una nueva economía globalizada, donde las empresas buscan su producción a bajo costo, generando en muchas ocasiones atentar contra las condiciones laborales y la calidad de vida de los trabajadores, es necesaria una mundialización también real de los derechos fundamentales laborales, que deben inspirar y dar sustento a los ordenamientos nacionales, los que no siempre están dotados de las herramientas jurídicas necesarias para contener los embates a los que se enfrentan las relaciones laborales modernas. Así que el fin perseguido con esta investigación será la de analizar la existencia de esa mundialización jurídica desde varias fuentes.

Authors: Supaat Khadijah , Aziz Sarah , Hasan Siti Zuhaili , Basri Noor Ezlin Ahmad , Shafie Siti Haslina Mohd
Published: November 2024

The United Nations’ agenda on sustainable development, since 1972 via the Stockholm Declaration 1972, the 1992 Rio Agenda 21, and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, has consistently earmarked academia as an agent of change. Academia, i.e., institutions of higher education are seen as major contributors to help governments contribute to national aspirations for sustainable development, which in turn contributes to global aspirations. Since the adoption of the SDG 2030, universities have begun to incorporate SDGs into their institutional systems and processes. This paper will briefly review related literature pertaining to the role of universities in mainstreaming sustainable development, to help determine the shift needed for universities in Malaysia to embed sustainable development into its governance systems and processes. A list of what is expected of universities, and how such expectations can be accommodated will facilitate determination of key areas to drive change. It will also explore the role of universities as a ‘living lab; medium for influence; connector with civil society; and contributors to the knowledge, and know-how related to sustainable development. Options for consideration related to embedding the sustainable development agenda within the governance framework will be highlighted in the paper.
Integrating Virtual Reality and AI for Enhanced Patient Rehabilitation
Authors: İbişağaoğlu Duru
Published: November 2024

The integration of virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing patient rehabilitation by creating immersive, adaptive, and highly personalized therapeutic environments. By combining the interactivity of VR with the analytical capabilities of AI, rehabilitation programs can be tailored to individual patient needs, promoting faster recovery and greater engagement. This interdisciplinary approach enables real-time tracking of patient progress, adaptive exercise regimens, and predictive analytics for outcome optimization. The use of AI-driven algorithms to analyze biomechanical data and patient feedback ensures precise adjustments to therapy plans, enhancing efficacy and reducing the risk of re-injury. Furthermore, VR provides a safe and controlled environment for motor skill development, cognitive training, and pain management. Despite its transformative potential, challenges such as high implementation costs, data privacy concerns, and the need for specialized training remain barriers to widespread adoption. This research explores the synergistic application of VR and AI in patient rehabilitation, highlighting advancements, challenges, and future directions to foster a more accessible and effective rehabilitative care system.
EUROPEJSKIE DZIEDZICTWO TWÓRCZOŚCI HENRYKA TOMASZEWSKIEGO W MUZEUM TEATRU WE WROCŁAWIU. REFLEKSJE KRYTYCZNE Z PERSPEKTYWY WIDZA, MIMA I HISTORYKA
Authors: Kurkowska Mirella
Published: November 2024

Tekst poświęcony jest sposobom prezentacji osoby, twórczości i środowiska Henryka Tomaszewskiego (1919–2001) w Muzeum Teatru we Wrocławiu, jednego z oddziałów Muzeum Miejskiego Wrocławia. Naczelną zasadą organizującą Muzeum Teatru jest spersonalizowanie ekspozycji, czyli prezentowanie dziejów historii przez pryzmat konkretnych ludzi i ich osiągnięć. Wystawa poświęcona patronowi została zaprojektowana przez jego wieloletniego partnera Stefana Kaysera (1949–2011). Zaaranżowano też atelier Stefana Arczyńskiego (1916–2022), „etatowego” fotografa Wrocławskiego Teatru Pantomimy, a zarazem bliskiego przyjaciela Henryka Tomaszewskiego oraz utworzono gabinet prof. Janusza Deglera, w którym mieści się księgozbiór wrocławskiego witkacologa i teatrologa. Listę muzealnych person zamyka dr Mirosław Oczkoś, reżyser, aktor i specjalista w zakresie wizerunku, dykcji i artykulacji. Muzealne eksponaty mają – w założeniu – zbliżyć do siebie dwa różne kręgi odbiorców: ekspertów i widzów. Dla wielu zwiedzających będzie to pierwsze spotkanie z artystą, który stworzył teatr uznany za jedno z najwybitniejszych zjawisk światowej kultury XX w. i stanowił inspirację dla wielu twórców na świecie, także z innych dziedzin sztuki.
Dla innych, z kolei, będzie to początek poważniejszej znajomości; początek drogi ku lepszemu poznaniu tego fenomenu. Bruder nieco przewrotnie zabiega o to, by wzbudzić u zwiedzających refleksję, jak niewiele, w gruncie rzeczy, zostaje po teatrze autorskim. Interaktywne elementy wystawy zostały skrzyżowane ze „spersonalizowanym” charakterem ekspozycji i wątków tematycznych. Powstaje pytanie, czy tak skonstruowany projekt muzealny przybliży widza do istoty WTP i spełni przy tym fundamentalne zadanie – archiwizowania, opracowania i udostępniania materiałów źródłowych. Ograniczenia objętości niniejszego tekstu nie pozwalają na analizę stanu badań i szersze przedstawienie problematyki na tle porównawczym.
Wideband Microstrip Patch Antenna Design At 2.4 Ghz Frequency for Wireless Communication
Authors: Coşkun Özlem , Erginyurek Nazlihan
Published: November 2024

The ever-increasing development of wireless and mobile communications, along with the rising volume of data and data traffic in wireless networks, requires these communications to be fast and uninterrupted. This can be achieved through the development of antennas with low return loss, high bandwidth, and compact size. In this study, an antenna design operating at a 2.4 GHz frequency was created using the CST Microwave Studio program to meet the need for broadband microstrip patch antenna designs. FR-4 material, which is 1.6 mm high, has a dielectric constant of 4.3 and a rectangular geometry with a loss tangent of 0.019, was used as the substrate material. At a resonance frequency of 2.4 GHz, the antenna was found to have a maximum gain of 2.27 dB and a maximum directivity of 7.28 dB in the same direction. Selection of new microstrip patch antenna configurations and development of accurate and versatile analytical models are of great importance in wireless communication technology.
A Healthcare Monitoring System Design for Elderly Living Alone
Authors: Coşkun Özlem
Published: November 2024

Due to advancements in the field of medicine, the elderly population has significantly increased around the world. Since the young population is also working, elderly people are left alone at home. Problems such as Alzheimer's, sleepwalking, and decreased mobility in these elderly individuals living alone reduce the quality of life of both individuals and their families. This study aims to develop a specialized tracking system to address issues faced by elderly individuals, such as getting lost while living alone. Nowadays, thanks to GPS technology, it is possible to monitor individuals easily even from our phones. It will be easier to monitor places in the house where there is a high probability of falling and by using an infrared sensor to control the entrances and exits of the house. It is clearly seen that older people prefer simple rather than complex technological products when using them. For this reason, a design has been made that will be sufficient to carry with you without having to make any adjustments in the mobile application.
Invisible and Instantaneous: Geographies of Media Infrastructure from Pneumatic Tubes to Fiber Optics
Authors: Farman Jason
Published: November 2024

In the late-1890s, five cities in the United States set up miles of tubing that would send canisters filled with mail sailing from post office to post office, pushed through the length of tube by compressed air. These letters could arrive within the hour and were delivered throughout the day regardless of the constraints of weather or traffic on the streets above. Anticipating our contemporary uses of text messages, the pneumatic mail services offered people the ability to stay in touch throughout the day, coordinating plans or exchanging love notes through an infrastructure that was a key part of defining modern American society. The tubes and the pneumatic mail delivery went defunct in the 1950s; yet, years later, in the early-2000s, a New York entrepreneur came across the archives of these old tube systems and decided to run fiber optic cable from building to building through the now-obsolete tubes. Comparing how these two technologies â€“ pneumatic tubes and fiber optic cables for the Internet â€“ created an imagination of the instantaneous in their respective times, I explore the powerful allure of the instantaneous and how such ideas open up an exploration of the relationship between proximity and everyday temporality as the pace of communications are affected by the desire for ever-accelerating technologies for communication.
Notes Towards a Zonal Aesthetics
Authors: Hazell Calum
Published: November 2024

This paper offers the “zonality” as a nickname for a speculative conception of the work of art as relatively autonomous and constitutively “siteless” site. Drawing upon the works of James Turrell, I argue that any such treatment demands strategic and hypothetical “dislocation” of the art object from the spatiotemporal horizons and socio-political conditions contextually at issue, and the recognition – performed and embodied in thought – of its “radical foreclosure” to anthropic determination or embrace. Ultimately, through my proposal for an aesthetic strategy in “thinking-with the artwork,” I propose provisional terms for a novel experience of the extractions, abstractions, and subtractions the zonal artwork practices upon, and undergoes in relation to, its ambient environment and the attendant human subject.
Postcritical Sensibilities for the Study of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Diaz Kelly , Moses Adetobi , Wang Jing , Yang Guobin
Published: November 2024

Postcritique is the name given to a recent intellectual trend which opposes the practices of suspicion and theoretical abstraction in literary and cultural studies. Its proponents champion the alternative dispositions and epistemologies of attachment, hopefulness, and care (Anker & Felski, 2017; Felski, 2015). Embedded in a longer and broader intellectual current encompassing the humanities and social sciences, postcritique crystallizes a set of critical sensibilities particularly compelling for our contemporary historical conjuncture. We delineate these sensibilities by examining works on postcritique in literary and cultural studies, briefly discuss critical expressions of such sensibilities in the 1960s and 1970s, and link them to related work in the social sciences. We then present three vignettes from our research on the COVID-19 pandemic to illustrate how an ethos of openness, hopefulness, and vulnerability may inform the study of the catastrophic experiences of an ongoing global pandemic. The three vignettes highlight the importance of documenting and understanding emotional experiences through digital media such as mobile-phone photography, audio diaries, and podcasting.

Brigada Eskwela (BE) is one of the school activities implemented by the Department of Education (DepEd) to better prepare school facilities for the upcoming school year. This study aimed to determine the extent of BE implementation and its impact on public elementary schools in the Candijay District, Bohol, for the 2019-2020 school year. A descriptive correlational quantitative research design was employed, utilizing a standardized and researcher-made instrument that was pilot-tested. The collected data were organized, analyzed, and interpreted using statistical methods. The respondents of the study were 479 stakeholders, including PTA officers, teachers, and barangay officials, from three (3) medium-sized public elementary schools and nineteen (19) small public elementary schools in the Municipality of Candijay. The study revealed that the BE Program in Candijay elementary schools was implemented to a very high extent across all stages - pre-implementation, implementation, and post-implementation - according to the perceptions of parents, teachers, and barangay officials in both small and medium schools. Stakeholders also agreed that the program had a very high impact on pupil participation and learning, community engagement, and the overall school environment. However, significant differences in perceptions were found between stakeholder groups. Notably, parents and barangay officials, as well as teachers and barangay officials, had differing views on the extent of implementation. Additionally, significant differences were observed between small and medium schools regarding the extent of program implementation and its impact. The study found a strong correlation between the implementation of the BE Program and its overall impact, emphasizing its effectiveness in these schools. It concluded that the Brigada Eskwela program was highly implemented across all stages, with the implementation stage receiving the most emphasis. Schools that effectively implemented BE had a positive impact on student participation, learning, community involvement, and the school environment, particularly in medium-sized schools. However, perceptions of the program’s success varied, with parents and teachers viewing it more favorably than barangay officials. Overall, greater implementation led to a higher positive impact on schools.
Teaching in the Light of the New Evangelization: Lived Experiences of Educators
Authors: Milos Jr. Sotero
Published: November 2024

This is a lived experience exploration of educators on teaching in the light of New Evangelization. Teaching in this manner is a fundamental change in emphasis. Data were gathered using unstructured in-depth phenomenological interviews that were recorded, transcribed, validated and analyzed, and interpreted using generic qualitative Lichtman’s approach. The participants of the study consisted of five Christian Living and five Religious Studies educators. It explored six themes. The first theme was on the Joys and Challenges: Witnessing, Lessons, Technology, Understanding the Lesson, and Education. The second theme was on motivations of teaching, with the sub-themes: Faith, New Evangelization, and Deepening our Faith. The third theme was on the images of the participants on how they would describe themselves in their work: Shepherd, Potter, Sower, a tour guide, and an architect. The fourth theme was on their eucharistic, Marian, and personal devotion to Saints. The fifth theme was on the meaning, impact, and insights that have emerged from this experience. The sub-themes were namely: 1) Teaching in the light of New Evangelization bringing fulfillment, meaning, and happiness, 2) Living like Jesus everyday and in every way, and 3) Christian Educators as the Instruments of Christ. The last theme was on their messages to their fellow educators and all the contemporary agents of New Evangelization, with 4 sub-themes identified: 1) On Witnessing, 2) On Prayer Life, 3) On Spirituality, and 4) On Communion in Mission. Combining all the themes could provide a program of New Evangelization. Keywords: teaching, new evangelization, catholic faith, witnessing, prayer life
On the Proof of Pascal’s Identity using Vedic Mathematics
Authors: Alova Chard Aye
Published: November 2024

This paper presents the proof of Pascal's Identity using the sutras and methods of Vedic Mathematics. From the construction of the proof and the results of the theorem, corollaries have been set up and fundamental properties have been explained. All these finally exhibit its fascinating product-the Pascal’s Triangle. The fundamental properties of the Pascal’s Triangle are also elaborated and discussed using the lens of Vedic Mathematics, such as, binomial coefficients of the binomial theorem, and the property called unimodality. This paper is a result of the establishment of the different formulas and algorithms of permutations and combinations that is with and without repetition using the methods and techniques of Vedic Mathematics by C. A. Alova (2022), whose results and formulas could be used and applied in proving what are called the combinatorial identities. One of these combinatorial identities is the Pascal’s Identity, named after the French mathematician, inventor, and theologian Blaise Pascal. This paper features the sutras by one more than the one before (sutra no.1), by one less than the one before (sutra no. 14), at sight or by simple observation (sub-sutra 12), and when the total is the same, it is nought (sutra no.5). Keywords: Pascal’s Identity, Pascal’s Triangle, Vedic Mathematics, Combinatorics, Number Theory, Binomial Theorem
Sago oven pottery production in the Raja Ampat Islands of the far western Pacific
Authors: Gaffney Dylan , Tanudirjo Daud
Published: November 2024

This paper is the first ethnographic description of ceramic sago oven production in the Raja Ampat Islands of West Papua. These rectilinear ovens are widespread throughout eastern Indonesia, used to bake sago flour into small ‘cakes,’ which can be stored during times of food shortage or used in exchange. Little is known about the emergence of this technology in the past and so this modern baseline serves as an important link to understand production sequences in the archaeological record. This record will be central to understanding sago processing in the deeper past, a key part of a wider system of forest exploitation in the far western Pacific Islands.
Locational Analysis of Rock Art in the North Island, Aotearoa New Zealand
Authors: Pillay Patricia , O'Regan Gerard , Emmitt Joshua
Published: November 2024

Māori rock art is widely distributed across Aotearoa New Zealand. It has been extensively studied in the South Island where a strong correlation between rock art and limestone outcrops in the South Island has been identified. However, few studies have investigated the distribution and preservation of petroglyphs and pictographs in the North Island. Previous studies suggest preliminary correlations between the distribution of North Island rock art and the availability of suitable rock surfaces. As they are based on broad regional observations of the distribution of sites and geological formations, the observations of correlations of art with rock type are limited. Here we adopt a landscape approach to quantitatively test previous correlations. A bias in the placement of rock art on ignimbrite rock formations is shown. This preliminary analysis provides a foundation for more detailed regional studies to understand if the correlation reflects a deliberate selection of certain geological rock surfaces by North Island Māori, and how differential weathering and preservation processes may contribute to the present-day spatial distribution of rock art.
Pottery Production and Exchange in the Last Millennium in the Western Solomon Islands: a ceramic sequence for Choiseul
Authors: Radclyffe Charles James Tekarawa , Summerhayes Glenn R , Scott James M , Walter Richard
Published: November 2024

Introduced to the western Solomon Islands over two and a half millennia ago, pottery-making in the region has a long but patchily documented history. Previous research has focused predominantly on the earliest incised and applied relief ceramic wares associated with the arrival of Austronesian migratory groups in the Late to immediate Post-Lapita period (<2800 calBP). Reported here are findings from stylistic and compositional analyses carried out on incised and impressed pottery recently recovered in the region which date to within the last millennium. Methods employed include a formal analysis and a combination of macroscopic fabric analysis and geochemical analysis using a scanning electron microscope (SEM-EDS). The results provide insight into the development of a poorly understood period of pottery production and exchange in the western Solomon Islands, and ultimately contribute towards reconstructing a more complete ceramic record for the region.
