The Characterization of Female Protagonists from the Perspective of Hofstede’s Cultural Dimension Theory: A Case Study of the Hunger Games Series

The female protagonist Katniss portrayed in the "Hunger Games" film series breaks free from the constraints of mainstream films on female protagonist images. Such a young woman can make brave choices as the protagonist in a tyrannical and chaotic world full of oppression and slaughter, not relying on those men and igniting a revolutionary wave. This is extremely rare in mainstream commercial films. In this paper, text analysis and comparative analysis will be used as the main research methods. First of all, with the help of Hofstede’s theory of cultural dimensions, the Hunger Games series of films is carefully analyzed, the construction process of Katniss’s image and his personality characteristics are deeply explored, and an attempt is made to bring a new interpretation to the audience. The purposes of this study are to draw attention to how important Katniss’s role has been in subverting conventional gender norms in movies and to provide some references for future studies.

Activismos digitales. Nuevas formas de lucha mediadas por plataformas en la era del capitalismo de la vigilancia

The academic concern for the role that activisms assume in the face of social problems in a troubled world maintains a pre-eminent relevance. Revolutionary waves are being registered as phenomena that express social demands. Understanding transmedia activism implies observing the reality beyond the struggles and polarizations of hashtags. In this context, what is understood by digital activism? How does the power dispute unfold in the digital territory? What is understood by performances? How is digital activism projected in the era of heightened Surveillance Capitalism? This paper aims to analyze academic productions that conceptualize, problematize and study digital activism. In addition, to characterize and understand their main features and identify trends and challenges that they present in the framework of Surveillance Capitalism. The methodological strategy was elaborated on the state of the art regarding digital activism. In order to analyze the current state of digital activism and its future evolution, search, selection, and bibliographic organization were included. Among the main findings, are the identification of studies that analyze the digital territory as a field of power dispute and the characterization of digital activism from social movements and collective political action and other forms of online participation, such as slacktivism.

Contribution Of Savitribai Phule to Women Empowerment, Education and Social Issues

This study aims to know about the feminist Savitribai Phule’s contribution towards women’s education and others social issues. Savitribai Jyotirao Phule was a renowned social activist, educationist and poet of India who did many drastic changes to society by her remarkable efforts. She had counted among well educated women and attributed for establishing the first girl’s school in Pune in Bhide Wada. This was the great step which was taken by her to educate women. Her motivational ideas should be combined in education because she started a revolutionary wave in the existing period of several parts of education. She also took effort towards many social issues by running drive against child marriage, sati pratha and promoting widow remarriage. She did not stop herself and keep doing campaigning against many other issues like untouchability and worked actively in stopping caste and gender-based discrimination. Savitribai Phule was the first lady teacher of India but along with this she was also known as the first Marathi poetess and inspirational to others.

Electric Vehicle Health Monitoring with Electric Vehicle Range Prediction and Route Planning

The automotive industry is experiencing a revolutionary wave due to the rapid spread of electric vehicles (EVs), which is paving the way for a fundamental and long-lasting revolution in the way we approach transportation. The global movement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lessen the environmental impact of traditional internal combustion engine vehicles has seen a significant boost in the popularity of electric vehicles as people come together to support environmentally conscious and sustainable mobility solutions. But the ecology surrounding electric vehicles must continue to flourish if the particular problems that EVs present are to be successfully addressed. Chief among these are the formidable foes of range anxiety and battery health management. Range anxiety is a real issue felt by many potential EV owners worry about becoming stuck because their battery has run out before reaching their destination. This psychological barrier is very noticeable and makes present and future EV owners doubtful. In addition, the longevity and health of EV batteries are essential to their continued effectiveness and affordability. The driving range and operating efficiency of the vehicle are directly affected by the gradual degradation of the battery due to several factors like aging, charging patterns, and temperature. This research presents an integrative and holistic approach to address these pressing issues, enhancing and elevating the whole EV ownership experience by combining Electric Vehicle Health Monitoring (EVHM) with Electric Vehicle Range Prediction (EVRP) and Route Planning (EVRP). Combining these three essential elements creates an all-encompassing plan created to not only lessen these enormous obstacles but also accelerate the switch to electric vehicles by giving consumers the knowledge and assurance they require for a smooth, eco-friendly, and sustainable mobility in the future.

AgriTech Revolution: Next-Generation Supply Chain in America's Agriculture

With the advent of the 21st century, a novel era of technological advancement has profoundly impacted several sectors, with the inclusion agriculture. This paper examines the transformative task of evolving technologies in reorchestrating the agricultural supply chain during the revolutionary wave of AgriTech in American agriculture. As part of this research, we will analyze how cutting-edge technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), robotics, bigdata, and blockchain, are being integrated, and examine how these technologies have an impact on agricultural practices, supply chain efficiency, and sustainability in general. With a comprehensive literature review and case study analysis, the study explores AgriTech in the United States and its trajectory towards a more data-driven, automated, and interconnected agriculture industry. The paper determines how these innovations lead to increased crop yields, improved resource management, and extra transparent and robust supply chains. Furthermore, the research addresses the challenges, including the digital divide, investment barriers, and skill gaps, which could impede the widespread adoption of these technologies. Furthermore, our study reignites the opportunities presented by AgriTech, such as reduced environmental footprint, improved food safety, and the potential to meet the increasing global food demand sustainably. The future endeavor speculates on the evolving landscape of AgriTech, positing a scenario where advanced technologies not only dictate farming practices but also reshape the entire food supply chain, from farm to fork. Hence, the research presents a critical analysis of the next-generation supply chain in American agriculture, driven by AgriTech innovations. The result aims to provide valuable insights for stakeholders such as farmers, agribusinesses, technology providers, policymakers, and consumers, offering a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic interplay between technology and agriculture in the modern era.

Urban Women’s Writing in the Revolutionary Wave—a Counter-Reading of the “Eclipse” Trilogy and “Song of Youth”

There are obvious differences between the left-wing literature of the 1930s and the revolutionary literary works after the founding of New China in the 1950s. Among the many works, the “Eclipse” trilogy and “Song of Youth” are the few works that develop plots with women as the center. By reading these two works, we can have a more comprehensive understanding of the revolutionary trends in the 1930s and 1950s, and it is also conducive to studying the status of women and the development of female literature in the two periods.

Борис Фортунатов — революційний зоолог, ідеолог перетворення фауни

An essay about a researcher who joined the revolutionary wave of research when he became the head of the scientific department of the Askania-Nova Reserve. Fortunatov’s main research focused on measures to restore the European bison population, in particular by the admixture of American bison blood, hybridising representatives of different groups of ungulates, and developing programmes for the ‘reconstruction of the fauna.’ The latter were developed by him in 1933–1935 and became state programmes that included measures for the introduction of alien species and wildlife breeding, in particular in nature reserves.

SOME SPECIFIC FEATURES OF THE GENESIS OF MODERN BELGIAN POLITICS

This article discusses the symbolism of the year 1830 in the transition from the old political order to the establishment and gradual consolidation of the modern Belgian state. Modern constitutionalism was characterized by the struggle against monarchical absolutism and the concentration of political power in the hands of a single person. In addition, it supported the respect of civil rights and liberties, the individual being at the center of liberal philosophy, along with the idea of a representative government, the separation of powers in the state and the supremacy of the rule of law. The spread of the revolutionary wave from 1830 throughout the country opened a new period in the history of Belgium, in which the ideas of centralizing the state and asserting national independence merged with the urgency to give a direction to the state by choosing the representative monarchy as a form of governance and with the introduction of the Senate as an intermediate power. By analyzing the Belgian deputies’ speeches, this article aims to make an introduction in the way the deputies imagined the construction of the state and to advance the idea of a mutual trajectory of the Belgian society in accordance with the young European nations.

Rough Waters Ahead

There are a variety of definitions of the term, handbook. All of them, however, include a reference to factual information on a specific topic or set of topics or instructions dealing with a defined process or set of processes. This generalized and synthesized explanation of what handbooks are certainly applies to Handbook of Revolutions in the 21st Century, edited by Jack Goldstone, Leonid Grinin, and Andrey Korotayev. However, in over one thousand pages, this handbook provides much more than the previous description implies. Not only is the concept of revolution rigorously treated and the theory of revolutions investigated in the opening section of the book, but in the remaining sections of the book, the topics of the history of revolutions, revolutionary waves, revolution in the early twenty-first century, the Arab Spring revolutions, revolutionary movements beyond the Arab Spring, and current and future revolutions are all treated clearly and in depth by a variety of scholars from a diversity of academic specializations. Further, handbooks, often didactic in the extreme, are not known for their insight and creativity; this one will be.

The Twenty-First Century Revolutions as a Factor in the Reconfiguration of the World System

At present the World System and world order are undergoing dramatic transformations. Revolutions definitely will be an integral part of these systemic changes; therefore, their numbers as well as the world-system effect are likely to be significant. In this article, the authors analyze in what way the twenty-first century revolutions examined in this article be connected with the transformations of the World System and world order. The authors' argument is based on the theory of the periodical catch-ups experienced by the political component of the World System, which tends to lag behind the economic component. Such gaps are eventually bridged, but not in a smooth way. On the contrary, this catch-up is likely to be rather complex, turbulent and conflictive. The twenty-first century revolutions appear to be part of a broad and conflict-ridden process of catch-up of the World-System's political component to its economic component. This catch-up provokes strong structural transformations, which the authors describe as the reconfiguration of the World System. They think that with the Arab Spring there started a reconfiguration of the World System that will remain associated with revolutionary processes in the twenty-first century. The authors expect that in connection with the political catch-up the number of revolutions as well as their role as a means of the world-system transformation will not decrease, but in some respects may even increase noticeably. Anton Grinin and Leonid Grinin analyze the future of revolutions in terms of their typology and also of some other aspects, namely: 1) the evaluation of their number in comparison with the previous period; 2) their role as a tool defining the future progress of societies and the World System; 3) the scale and power of revolutions; 4) the possibility of revolutionary waves, and 5) possible changes of the forms of revolutionary events.

Revolutionary Waves: A Comparative Exploration of Political Leadership and Governance during French Revolution and in Present-Day Pakistan

This academic article compares political leadership and governance between the French Revolution to contemporary Pakistan, a nation facing political issues. This study examines the historical revolutionary waves that swept France in the latter part of the 18th century and Pakistan's political dynamics to reveal the similarities and differences in authority and governance. We aim to illuminate the reasons that led to the rise of French Revolution leaders by analyzing a wide range of historical records, primary sources, and contemporary literature. We want to understand how these leaders' views and deeds shaped history. This analysis compares Pakistan's political scene and leaders' leadership styles. We will also examine these leaders' issues and their impact on governance and socioeconomic development. The analysis shows revolutionary fervor in both periods. These leaders inspired and mobilized the public. Our extensive research also shows significant differences in ideology, power consolidation strategies, and governance systems during the distinct times—this study illuminates leadership and governance's long-term effects. We can learn from history. This research contributes to understanding political leadership, governance, and societal results

Революционный процесс в 2022 г.

The year 2022 turned out to be not only very rich in various important, and in some cases, fateful events, but also fully confirmed the idea of the authors of the article about the third revolutionary wave of the 21st century currently underway (since 2018), as well as its causes. This article provides a brief overview of various forms of revolutionary and quasi-revolutionary destabilization in fourteen countries of the world in 2022. Information is provided on the causes, motives, actors and outcomes of the identified episodes in chronological order, as well as a preliminary classification of the nature of the episodes in question.

Disparities in Access to Novel Systemic Therapies in Patients With Urinary Tract Cancer: Propagating Access, Policies and Resources Uniformly.

After several decades of therapeutic stagnation, the treatment of patients with urothelial carcinoma has met a revolutionary wave, anticipated by the advent of immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) and followed by newer therapeutic options in the post-ICI setting. These achievements were made in a very short time-frame, thus making the treatment of this disease particularly susceptible to geographical health disparity due to the differences in healthcare systems and approval processes of the regulatory authorities. Furthermore, additional barriers to access innovative care are represented by a limited coverage of clinical trials availability, that is consistent in focusing on selected geographical areas, across trials and clinical settings. Here, we present the current picture of new drug approvals in urothelial carcinoma worldwide, and we also focus our considerations onto the spectrum of ongoing trial inclusion possibilities, trying to understand what are the current gaps in clinical research and routine practice, identifying a way to move forward.

Striking from the margins: state, religion and devolution of authority in the Middle East

Global trends in social and political polarization have gained a lot of traction in social sciences lately. Many scholars suggest that contemporary transformations point to a broader trend of a gradual disintegration, at the core of many societies, of long-lasting consensuses. The implosion of traditional centres of authority is, for multiple reasons, providing room for former peripheries not only to further contest them, but also to articulate new authority centres of their own. Striking from the margins fits within this trend, as the contributors question what is happening to the conventional centres of authority and peripheries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The book makes an original contribution, scrutinizing the regional transformation of religion, as a political phenomenon, over the last three decades. The contributors examine the profound social transformations, initiated with economic liberalization processes in the 1990s and 2000s and culminating in the revolutionary wave of 2011. As a result of these transformations, the book claims, parallel sources of authority beyond the state have been gaining ground. Most notably, these include religious actors. New expressions of religiosity—including jihadism—and the ‘sectarianization’ of the public space are considered the corollaries of state atrophy (regrettably, the chicken-or-egg question is not fully addressed in the book). Since then, former centres of authority have tried to instrumentalize and co-opt some religious actors to prevent further contestation. At the same time, the former margins are becoming new centres of their own, exercising authority over large segments of the population. Thus, the contributors put up a fight against essentialist accounts: the contemporary importance of religion in the region is not the result of natural, unavoidable realities, as many pseudo-theological explanations about resistance against modernity would suggest. Instead, religion has gained ground as a result of structural and political transformations in the last decades.

The Proletariat in Marx and Engels' Critique of Capitalism, 1842–1848

Marx and Engels’ development during the 1840s is often approached by comparing their main theoretical work before and after 1846. Yet Marx and Engels were both active participants in political movements building up to the revolutionary wave which swept across Europe in 1848–49. This political context, and their personal belief in the political importance of the proletariat, are essential for understanding why Marx and Engels followed their chosen lines of research. As early as 1843, both men see the proletariat's potential as a revolutionary group and seek to develop this relationship further in their writings. For this reason, it is necessary to interpret Marx and Engels’ works and theoretical shifts during 1842–1848 in the context of their broader political development focused on the proletariat's role in the coming revolutions. This context shapes their prominent theoretical works, highlighting the strategic principles that they developed in their activist-oriented writings.

Ռազմավարական ինքնուրույնության պրոբլեմը Թուրքիայի ռազմավարական մշակույթի հարացույցում / The problem of strategic independence in the paradigm of Turkey’s strategic culture

Turkey’s vision of the ways to achieve strategic independence was generalized and institutionalized after the revolutionary wave of the Arab Spring. Taking advantage of the favorable geopolitical situation, the Justice and Development Party was able to promote its Islamic-national conser­vative ideology in both domestic and foreign policy arenas, due to neo-Ottomanism leaving out of competition the republican strategic culture. Being under the defense and security auspices of the Collective West, but actually pursuing a regional policy ensuing from its own interests, Turkey is positioning itself as an independent player taking the challenges of competitive cooperation with regional and global players. Ankara achieves all this both at the expense of a drastic rise in the number of failed states in its immediate neighborhood and due to new systemic approaches targeted at strengthening Turkey’s positions and role in the new world order. In particular, given the overall context of its strategic culture, i.e., the comprehensive historical experience and narrow Turkish perceptions of peace and stability, Turkey has adopted and is gradually implementing its own formula for achieving strategic independence. In this regard, it has become imperative for Turkey to increase the number of flexible alliances and the degree of political-ideological, as well as economic-technological self-sufficiency, and reduce external dependence.

III конгресс Коминтерна: между мартовской акцией и «единым фронтом»

The article examines the evolution of the Comintern policy in 1921. In the conditions of the ebb of the World Revolutionary Wave, the Com-munists faced the need to choose a political tactic: either an attempt to counterattack, reverse the trend of the offensive of capital, or the accu-mulation of forces and cooperation with social democracy in opposing this offensive. Each of these lines had supporters in the parties of the Comintern and its leadership, and the struggle between them led to splits and fluctuations in the policy of the Comintern. The expression of the first way was the "March action" in Germany, the expression of the second was the January letter of the OKPG and the policy of the "united workers' front". At the Third Congress of the Comintern, the supporters of the second line, led by Lenin, actually won, but they did not dare to condemn the "March action" and proclaim the policy of the "united front" at the congress. This inconsistency also influenced the subsequent course of the Comintern, even after it adopted the moderate line of the "united front", but did not get rid of the adventurism of the "March action". This results already affected the events of the "German October" in 1923.

The quantum leap in therapeutics for advanced ALK+ non-small cell lung cancer and pursuit to cure with precision medicine.

Since the discovery 15 years ago, we have seen a quantum leap in the treatment and survival for individuals diagnosed with ALK+ lung cancers. Unfortunately however, for most, the diagnosis is made in an incurable circumstance given the late presentation of symptoms. Through a revolutionary wave of therapeutics, individuals may remarkably live over a decade, however many fall short of this milestone, as the molecular profile of this disease is very heterogeneous, reflected in variable survival outcomes. Despite a significant improval in survival and quality of life with ALK-inhibitor monotherapies, now available across multiple-generations, drug resistance and disease relapse remains inevitable, and treatment is offered in an empiric, stepwise, non personalised biomarker informed fashion. A proposed future focus to treating ALK to improve the chronicity of this disease and even promote cure, is to deliver a personalised dynamic approach to care, with rational combinations of drugs in conjunction with local ablative therapies to prevent and constantly proactively alter clonal selection. Such an approach would be informed by precision imaging with MRI-brain and FDG-PETs sequentially, and by regular plasma sampling including for circulating tumour DNA sequencing with personalised therapeutic switches occurring prior to the emergence of radiological and clinical relapse. Such an approach to care will require a complete paradigm shift in the way we approach the treatment of advanced cancer, however evidence to date in ALK+ lung cancers, support this new frontier of investigation.

A Política dos Estados Unidos para a África desde a II Guerra Mundial até ao início da década de 1960

Despite the so-called American anti-colonial tradition (the legacy of independence, or Spirit of ‘76), between World War II and the beginning of the 1960s, the African policy of the United States was always subordinated to the security priorities of Europe. In fact, at the end of World War II, Europe was threatened with collapse, not only due to the approximately 80 million deaths it caused, but also to the gigantic needs for social and economic reconstruction caused by the massive destruction of its productive, housing and commercial activities, which made it impossible to satisfy the basic conditions of survival. A chaotic situation from which emerged a virtually unstoppable human torrent, through which the populations of the countries involved in the war would seek to conquer a world free from misery and hunger, exploitation and oppression. Faced with this “revolutionary wave”, exacerbated by the political impotence of most European elites largely discredited as a result of their capitulation and collaboration with the Nazi occupier, the US government feared that it could make it possible to implement what it qualified as a communist threat, choosing to help rebuild devastated Europe. What makes it possible to understand the “Europe First Policy” and the consequent subordination of all African perspectives of the foreign policy of the United States to European priorities, an orientation that would begin to be changed between 1958 and 1960, during the Eisenhower administration, who claimed an independent American policy for Africa, when the uninterrupted torrent of the conquest of independence by the colonies was about to submerge the entire continent. In turn, the Kennedy administration ensured the continuity of this policy, despite the apparent support for Afro-Asiatic anti-colonial claims, which highlighted the difficulties of adapting to the political priorities of the decolonization era on the part of European colonial powers, especially Portugal. However, this reorientation has never changed the foreign policy of the United States, which has always focused on defending Europe against all kind of threats.
