Es un reto pasar de la agenda internacional de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU) a las agendas nacionales, estatales y locales en términos de sostenibilidad. Si bien es una responsabilidad de todos los sectores, esta no siempre se cumple. En este sentido, la presente investigación ha tenido como objetivo documentar la opinión y el conocimiento que los representantes de cada dirección municipal poseen, tomando en cuenta el municipio de Salvatierra, Guanajuato, y considerando los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) que establece la ONU. La metodología fue cualitativa, enfocada en la percepción de los funcionarios públicos del total de direcciones municipales, a través de un taller sobre ODS y fichas descriptivas en las que indicaron, a través de su trabajo y funciones, de qué manera consideran que contribuyen a los ODS. Los resultados muestran que la mayoría de los funcionarios públicos tiene noción de los ODS; sin embargo, en la planeación y administración de sus áreas no los incorporan.

Abstract China’s rapid urbanization has intensified energy consumption and carbon emissions, underscoring the urgency of low-carbon urban renewal strategies. The impacts of urban renewal on the community deserve to be evaluated to inform the mode and direction of implementation. However, the knowledge base lacks a comprehensive framework for evaluating the public sense of gain (SOG). This study aims to develop and measure indicators of public SOG in low-carbon urban renewal. A questionnaire survey was conducted among residents from different occupations, and an empirical study was carried out in Fuzhou. Both traditional fuzzy and cloud model-based fuzzy comprehensive evaluation methods were applied. The results showed that the economic dimension exerted the strongest influence, with an expected value of 4.04 in the cloud model. In addition, structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to perform a first-order confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), which validated the internal structure of the SOG evaluation system. All standardized loadings exceeded 0.6, and composite reliability (CR) values exceeded 0.8, verifying the model’s good fit. The proposed evaluation framework helps fill a methodological gap and provides a rational tool to measure public SOG in low-carbon urban renewal. The findings could support more inclusive and sustainable urban redevelopment practices and offer practical guidance for policy and implementation.

Abstract The past two decades have seen an emergence of sophisticated theories for understanding the multiplicity of concerns that characterize human morality. While these frameworks aspire to identify universal moral foundations, it is questionable whether they are adequately representing the full range of moral concerns present in non-Western societies. The present research sought to evaluate the potential of a bottom-up (data-driven) methodology for identifying moral categories based on textual evidence from traditional societies. In particular, our point of departure was the existence of ‘taboo lists’ – inventories of behaviors incurring divine punishment – that have been found in ancient (Mesopotamia, Egypt, Israel) and contemporary ethnographic sources. The extrapolation of general categories based on these lists was carried out by artificial intelligence (AI) models. The performance of this new inventory of moral categories was evaluated by human respondents and additional AI models in comparison with existing frameworks. The results of these experiments demonstrated a human-like competence of AI models to both generate and use moral categories. More importantly, the success of the novel inventory confirmed the viability of a bottom-up approach for the study of human morality.

Abstract This article explores a subgenre of naked-eye virtual reality (VR) video that features two-dimensional paintings in a three-dimensional space and is circulated on the Chinese video streaming website Bilibili. In contrast to traditional VR, which requires the spectator to wear a head-mounted display, naked-eye VR offers a stereoscopic view on the screen, eliminating the need for VR glasses. The apparent incongruity between the screen’s physical flatness and the volumetric depth of the painting becomes even more pronounced when the naked-eye VR image emphasises the painting’s inherent two-dimensionality. Employing an interdisciplinary humanities’ method that connects media archaeology, film studies, art history, and the field of science, technology, and society, this paper delves into this distinctive juxtaposition between the painting’s flatness and the volumetric depth characteristic of naked-eye VR, a subgenre that remains mostly uncharted in the field of film and media studies. Taking a media archaeological perspective, this paper introduces a parallax media history, suggesting that the aesthetics of VR can be traced not only to the stereoscope but also to scroll paintings, which are paradoxically defined by their flat compositions. In addition, naked-eye VR references pictorial traditions by generating a spatial illusion that leads spectators to feel as if they are delving beneath the surface of a painting, transitioning from spatial extensivity on the x-y axis to perceived depth along the z-axis. This oscillation between surface and depth is engendered by the horizontal parallax rooted in binocular disparity, thereby positioning naked-eye VR as a “parallax media.” In analysing the illusion created by naked-eye VR, this paper proposes a paradigmatic shift in the framework of media study from conceiving of an image as a mirror to experiencing it as a door, representing the oscillation between volumetric depth and two-dimensional surface.

This article builds on the earlier discussion about the actor traits associated with North Germanic weapons. The historical theories and evidence used by O.L. Gubarev to support his approach are analyzed. It is argued that he seems to echo the historiographical tradition relying on oversimplified a priori assertions, rather than a comprehensive analysis of the concept of “living” things in certain cultures. In his polemical response, he misinterpreted some historical sources and the views of other researchers, while also presenting his own controversial ideas as undeniable facts. In conclusion, it is suggested that the beliefs in the ability of inanimate things to have person-like qualities and play an actual social role, the distinction between living and non-living nature, as well as the practice of attributing souls to non-living entities, should be regarded as separate problems that are not clearly related in all cultures.

Abstract Although a reported concern, few studies have investigated both prevalence and moderating variables associated with offensive behaviors experienced by teaching professionals. This study analyzed 2866 survey responses of New Zealand teaching professionals in 991 primary schools to determine the prevalence of key offensive behaviors against teaching professionals, the main perpetrators of these offenses, and the impact key socio-demographic variables had on victimization. The findings indicate that particular groups of teaching professionals, and those in urban schools—are more likely to experience certain offensive behaviors. The varied nature of offensive behaviors experienced warrants intervention within the school and the broader community.

This study aimed to describe the implementation of a microteaching program to pre-service Bahasa Indonesia teachers during the Covid-19 pandemic, the advantages of the program, and its weaknesses. Data related to the changes in the program when facing a pandemic, advantages of program changes, and weaknesses. Data obtained from the Microteaching course in the Indonesian Language and Literature Department in The Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta. Microteaching in the semester of 2019/2020 amounted to 209 students. Data were from observation techniques, questionnaires, and document analysis. The sample was selected randomly. Triangulation techniques and methods validated the data, the interactive term used for data analysis. The results of this study are as follows. (1) To deal with the Covid-19, there are no changes in the core stages of Microteaching, but it needs some adaptations to the implementation, such as learning tools, teaching practices, observation activities, and assessments. (2) The advantages of adapting this program are students have flexible time and place of practice, improved information technology capabilities, and the student experience varies as they can write more stories. (3) The weaknesses of the adaptation of this program are the workload of lecturers increases, student learning burden increases, limited interaction, and network problems

The presence of lakes has some advantages and disadvantages, which are reflected on the quality and quality of water, and then restrict it to some different uses. Lake Habbaniyah worked on changing the properties of the water in it and raising the values of most of the elements, and it affected the water quality of the Euphrates River, as the value of the salts increased from (431) mg / liter at the entrance to the lake, to reach (597) mg / liter when it exited the lake at the canal The flies regulator, as all sites indicated bacterial contamination of the lake water, the number of colon bacteria ranged between (930-300) cells/mm. Most of the water ions fall within the permissible limits for drinking purposes (human-animal), as for biological pollutants (colon and fecal bacteria), their presence is conclusive evidence of microbial contamination of water, which restricts the use of lake water for drinking purposes. For agricultural purposes, and for building and construction purposes, as for industrial purposes, there is a limited restriction for some industries that require water of certain specifications that are not available in lake water. As for the presence of coliform and fecal bacteria, it restricted the use of lake water for some uses, especially for drinking purposes.

Abstract Researchers are increasingly encouraged to co-produce research, involving members of the public, service users, policy makers and practitioners in more equal relationships throughout a research project. The sharing of power is often highlighted as a key principle when co-producing research. However, health and social care research, as with many other academic disciplines, is carried out within embedded hierarchies and structural inequalities in universities, public service institutions, and research funding systems—as well as in society more broadly. This poses significant challenges to ambitions for co-production. This article explores the difficulties that are faced when trying to put ideal co-production principles into practice. A reflective account is provided of an interdisciplinary project that aimed to better understand how to reduce power differentials within co-produced research. The project facilitated five workshops, involving researchers from different disciplines, health, social care and community development staff and public contributors, who all had experience in co-production within research. In the workshops, people discussed how they had attempted to enable more equal relationships and shared ideas that supported more effective and equitable co-produced research. Shared interdisciplinary learning helped the project team to iteratively develop a training course, a map of resources and reflective questions to support co-produced research. The gap between co-production principles and practice is challenging. The article examines the constraints that exist when trying to share power, informed by multidisciplinary theories of power. To bring co-production principles into practice, changes are needed within research practices, cultures and structures; in understandings of what knowledge is and how different forms of knowledge are valued. The article outlines challenges and tensions when co-producing research and describes potential ideas and resources that may help to put co-production principles into practice. We highlight that trying to maintain all principles of co-production within the real-world of structural inequalities and uneven distribution of resources is a constant challenge, often remaining for now in the realm of aspiration.

AbstractThis research starts from the observation that Bernard Stiegler’™s general organology draws from the philosophical rethinking of the original practice of organology in musicology. Stiegler’™s main philosophical concepts that led to the establishment of general organology, as well as the trajectory of development of Stiegler’ general organology from his musical/musicological experience are discussed and explained. The main claim of this article is that the philosophical platform of general organology has an activist potential for the revitalization of the contemporary humanities and the transformation of the humanities into digital studies. This transformation takes place in the manner of two-level transcontextualization. The first level concerns the transcontextualization of the musicological organology into the general organology as a philosophical platform for understanding the phenomenological and ontological questions of a human being in the world mediated by digital technology. The second level concerns the activist potential of the general organology in relation to the humanities. The transformation of the humanities into digital studies is enabled through the transcontextualization of the general organology as the new, revitalized philosophical ground of the humanities that are dealing with the conditions of humanity in our contemporaneity. This means that digital studies involve not only the digital mediation of the knowledge, but researching that should be implemented in improving the humans' skills, knowledge, attention, and perceptive capabilities through digital technologies.
This paper attempts an introspection on the Christian presence in Almoravids North Africa (1040–1147 CE). It argues that, contrary to the thesis that the Almoravids mistreated the Christians in the Maghreb; the Christians in fact enjoyed a range of freedoms and privileges under the auspices of the Almoravids, strikingly different to the limited freedoms enjoyed during the prior rule of the Idrisids (788–974) of the Maghreb. The Christian presence in the Maghreb grew substantially under the Almoravids, and although a good number of them were uprooted and expelled from Andalusia, this paper argues that they were treated relatively well and received great support from the Almoravid administration. The paper offers insights into the Christian community in the Maghreb during Almoravid rule and the ways in which they were integrated into the social fabric of Almoravid society and the machinery of the Almoravids state.

Este texto examina las relaciones existentes en el binomio estilo musical-juventud, así como la importancia que tiene la música Raï entre los jóvenes magrebíes. Originario de Argelia y con más de un siglo de existencia, el Raï se ha ido adaptando a los cambios constantes de la sociedad argelina. En sus inicios fue un estilo de música tradicional, una forma de canción que daba voz a las adversidades y los placeres de la vida, cuestionando al mismo tiempo los valores sociales arraigados en la ciudad de Orán a principios del siglo XX. Posteriormente, traspasó la frontera del país argelino para convertirse en el sonido característico entre los jóvenes de todos los estados que conforman el Magreb, así como entre aquellos que tuvieron que emigrar a otros países. El mensaje de las letras de sus canciones, su constante adaptación y fusión con estilos más actuales de corte popular urbano como el Pop o el Rock, entre otros, han situado al Raï como una seña de identidad en torno a la que se unen varias generaciones de jóvenes magrebíes que escuchan una música mezclada con los ritmos más actuales, pero que mantiene intacta las raíces de su tradición.
