La «verità come indefinito differirsi del reale». Le ragioni del realismo pluralistico

The aim of this paper is to propose a theory of pluralistic realism, i.e. a theory that presents an idea of reality that embraces multiplicity both at an ontological and epistemological level. The basic ideal of this theory is that reality is inexhaustibly multifaceted and that, therefore, the ways in which human beings can account for it are diverse and multiple. This idea of reality also implies an idea of plural truth, i.e. as an openness and acceptance of diversity and difference which can act as an antidote to the resurgence of fundamentalisms and totalitarian visions of reality based on the refusal of diversity, on the lack of ethical recognition-political-social difference and on the tendency to believe that one’s own reality and therefore one’s culture, one’s nation, one’s country are objectively superior to other realities, nations, countries, cultures. In proposing the reasons for this theory we will try to integrate Mario De Caro’s philosophical proposal of a «liberalized naturalism» or «pluralistic realism» with the phenomenological perspective of Vincenzo Costa based on the idea that reality is determined on the basis of the experience of the human subject.

Investigating the effectiveness of TPACK and TGT in enhancing histogram learning achievement among eighth-grade students

This study aimed to explore the effects of employing the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) model integrated with the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) collaborative instructional approach in teaching the concept of histograms to eighth grade students. Additionally, the research sought to assess the students' satisfaction with this integrated method during the learning process. The participants in the study comprised 44 eighth-grade students from a public school in Thailand. Three primary instruments used in this study are the learning management plan, a learning achievement test and a satisfaction questionnaire. The findings of the study indicate that the integration of the TPACK model with TGT collaborative learning had a positive impact on the participants' comprehension and knowledge of histograms. The interactive and cooperative nature of TGT activities in addition to the integration of technological, pedagogical and content knowledge increased the learning outcomes of the students. Additionally, the participants expressed a high level of satisfaction with the integrated TPACK and TGT frameworks learning experiences. This suggests that the collaborative and technology-enhanced approach fostered a positive and engaging learning environment, facilitating a deeper understanding of the histogram concept. These findings contribute to the existing body of knowledge on innovative instructional methods and provide valuable insights for educators seeking to enhance students' learning experiences in mathematics and other related subjects.

Individualization of professional training of future specialists in philological specialties

The article deals with the ways of personalizing the methodological training of future linguists. The nature of the subject's experience of methodological activity is revealed. The importance of designing a personal trajectory of methodological formation and self-development for a student is confirmed. The necessity of creating a personalized and structured learning environment when teaching in higher education institutions is emphasized. Teaching methods that contribute to the formation of an individual methodological style for future teachers are identified. As a result, the creation of a personalized and systematic learning system is of particular importance in the systematic training of future linguists in higher education institutions. The environment that designs personal trajectories of students' methodological formation and self-development includes considering their characteristics and subject experience, developing appropriate learning strategies, and developing their methodological style.

Speech-in-competition auditory assessment and the influence of the bilingual experience

The measurement of audition has historically focused on the detection of pure tones; however, it has been proposed that a thorough evaluation should include measures of language reception in competition. The auditory challenge in the real world occurs mostly in competitive environments that require further auditory processing, and not only rely on peripheral, but also higher-order processes. Nevertheless, innovation of speech in competition assessments has occurred primarily in English and few tools have been translated, validated, and investigated in Spanish. Likewise, the bilingual experience of subjects whose native language is not English has not been sufficiently considered when using speech audiometry in hearing evaluation, casting doubt on assessment validity. In this study, we collected repeated measures of the digits-in-noise and the spatial release from masking tasks in English and Spanish-languages on a sample of fifty-six healthy Mexican subjects with varying degrees of English experience. We found significant differences across two sessions in the spatial release from masking, but not the digits-in-noise test. Additionally, we observed that a participant's bilingual experiences, but not cognitive ability, were predictive of language-related differences in performance. We finish by discussing bilingual requisites for valid and reliable speech-in-competition assessment in linguistically diverse individuals.

The State, Education and Inequality in Contemporary India: An Intersectional Exploration

This article examines the relationship between social justice, education and inequality through an intersectional lens. Emphasising the role of the state, and ‘state-thought’, in perpetuating inequalities through education, the reflective essay argues that it is not possible to view education only in its role as an agent of social and cultural reproduction. It is equally important to focus on the lived experience of subjects who are either excluded, or go through the educational process, through varied experience based on religion, caste and gender. The role of teachers in this process cannot be underestimated and is at the heart of how children and young adults learn and understand themselves as citizens. Based on secondary material, the article concludes with a plea for recognising the significance of voice and agency for a robust and functioning democracy. It is the task of education to enable the articulation and expression of such agency by building a culture of openness and questioning and empowering teachers and students to have this voice by allowing it to thrive in the prevailing culture of institutions.

Intersectional Politics of the International Women’s Strike

ABSTRACT Increasingly, progressive organizing faces pressures to adopt intersectional forms of solidarity. Intersectional solidarity consists of an ongoing process of creating ties and coalitions across social group differences by negotiating power asymmetries. This approach to organizing is not a static outcome that movements achieve and preserve. Movements that seek to enact intersectional solidarity must engage in ongoing struggles to sustain it. This article focuses on the case of the International Women’s Strike (IWS) of 2017 and 2018 in Spain. We use this case to identify circumstances that can lead to failures to sustain intersectional solidarity and the consequences of the ruptures that follow. In the case of the International Women’s Strike, initial calls to organize around the subject of women and women’s labor mobilized broad support in 2017. Black women in Spain affiliated with a group known as Afroféminas called on expanding the subject of local IWS mobilization to center the experiences of Black subjects. In a broadly circulated announcement, Afroféminas called out this experience and announced that they would not participate in the International Women’s Strike. The case of the International Women’s Strike in Spain showcases an instance under which the search for intersectional solidarity can generate broad intersectional consciousness even when it leads to separate organizing tracks. The development of autonomous Black activist spaces informed the continuity and deepening of intersectional consciousness but limited the magnitude of the praxis (e.g. Afroféminas did not participate in the broader praxis that generated disruptive tactics and mobilized larger masses). In choosing to consider racism as a form of violence within one system of capitalist exploitation, limited notions of subjectivity dominated IWS. On the other hand, Afroféminas’ withdrawal of participation limited the scope of praxis and raised questions about the representativeness and inclusiveness of the broader movement. Thus, intersectional and oppositional consciousness can emerge from the withdrawal of intersectionally marginalized groups from coalition work while challenging the enactment of mass intersectional praxis.

Hands-on Learning: Assessing the Impact of a Mobile Robot Platform in Engineering Learning Environments

As the world continues to change and evolve, students must acquire a diverse set of competencies and skills that focus on sustainability. This term extends beyond environmental matters, encompassing educational aspects, such as critical thinking, communication, creativity, collaboration, and problem solving, all of which are crucial components. In order to promote these aspects in an engineering learning environment, using educational tools that emulate real-life tasks related to students’ future careers can significantly boost their motivation. It could be worth considering the integration of teaching techniques that align more closely with the professional work of engineering. By embracing this pedagogical approach, educators can empower students, contributing to the advancement of science and technology. The field of programming embedded or integrated systems presents numerous professional opportunities for students of Telecommunications and Electronics Engineering degrees. An embedded systems engineer is a specialized professional responsible for co-designing electronic devices based on a processor. This contribution analyzes the impact of introducing a mobile robot platform as a cutting-edge teaching approach that merges problem-based learning (PBL) with hands-on learning. The platform’s main features include robustness in reducing interconnection problems and the possibility of co-designing projects with multiple integrated sensors and actuators. This learning tool makes it possible for students to work with a professional embedded system that they can find in their future careers. Hence, assessing the impact of this learning strategy using the robot and how students perceive it to enhance their professional skills is fundamental. This evaluation compares students’ experiences in previous subjects with the learning approach proposed in this research that intends to support students to prepare them more effectively for transitioning to professional life. The evaluation involves a previous and post-questionnaire that examines three dimensions: energy, absorption, and dedication. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the general satisfaction item showed the highest growth rate (1.05 out of 5.00) and the best score in the post-questionnaire. This indicates that, overall, the students evaluated the impact of using the learning strategy described positively. After completing the learning experience, the dimension of dedication showed the highest increase (0.73 out of 5.00) among all three dimensions.

Emotions Matter: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Detection and Classification of Students’ Emotions in STEM during Online Learning

In recent years, the rapid growth of online learning has highlighted the need for effective methods to monitor and improve student experiences. Emotions play a crucial role in shaping students’ engagement, motivation, and satisfaction in online learning environments, particularly in complex STEM subjects. In this context, sentiment analysis has emerged as a promising tool to detect and classify emotions expressed in textual and visual forms. This study offers an extensive literature review using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) technique on the role of sentiment analysis in student satisfaction and online learning in STEM subjects. The review analyses the applicability, challenges, and limitations of text- and facial-based sentiment analysis techniques in educational settings by reviewing 57 peer-reviewed research articles out of 236 articles, published between 2015 and 2023, initially identified through a comprehensive search strategy. Through an extensive search and scrutiny process, these articles were selected based on their relevance and contribution to the topic. The review’s findings indicate that sentiment analysis holds significant potential for improving student experiences, encouraging personalised learning, and promoting satisfaction in the online learning environment. Educators and administrators can gain valuable insights into students’ emotions and perceptions by employing computational techniques to analyse and interpret emotions expressed in text and facial expressions. However, the review also identifies several challenges and limitations associated with sentiment analysis in educational settings. These challenges include the need for accurate emotion detection and interpretation, addressing cultural and linguistic variations, ensuring data privacy and ethics, and a reliance on high-quality data sources. Despite these challenges, the review highlights the immense potential of sentiment analysis in transforming online learning experiences in STEM subjects and recommends further research and development in this area.

문화기억과 트라우마의 문학적 재현

The “nation narrative” that literature evokes after the war is reproduced again in literature. The memory of war reproduced in literature functions as a kind of window to approach the truth of history by adding fictional imagination to the fragmented and blurred personal narrative. Memory and trauma can be considered through historical historical historical research of war, but it can be dealt with from a macroscopic and international perspective centered on grand discourses or national narratives, which can make it far from restoring the war experience and understanding of individual subjects. In addition, there may be limitations in drawing out private memories suppressed by the dominant ideology of the time. However, through the author's empirical consideration, the appearance of war reborn in the space of literary works allows us to imagine the narrative of microscopic and individual subjects that cannot be captured from a macroscopic and international perspective. Here, through the novel War Trash, we will examine the traces of memories and trauma that war engraves on individuals, and through this, we will move on to the problem of the memory of war and the reproduction of trauma in literature. Through the difference between the meaning of war in a realistic space and the meaning of it when it moves to the space of literature, it is expected to provide implications for the movement and change of narrative subjects, diversification of perspective on narrative objects, and hidden problems that can be discussed today.

VOICING VULNERABILITY: MEDIATING VIOLENCE, VICTIMISATION AND FEMALE SUBJECTIVITY IN NORA GOMRINGER'S MONSTER POETRY*

ABSTRACTThis chapter examines poetic works by the Swiss‐German performance poet Nora‐Eugenie Gomringer that draw on monsters as a conceptual lens to engage with experiences of vulnerable subjects, that is, those that have experienced harm or violence or are considered especially susceptible to these risks. The anthology Monster Morbus Moden (2013–17), with its initial collection Monster Poems (2013), reflects poetically on how female subjects and their bodies, which are conventionally represented as weak, are simultaneously and paradoxically considered dangerously non‐normative and in need of policing. Gomringer explores how this paradox emerges from the interplay of textual and media surfaces, institutional logic and intersubjective power imbalances. The author employs an experimental mix of intertextual, intermedial and performative strategies that draws attention to the embodied and culturally iterative nature of such subject constructions. Putting emphasis on visualising and voicing victimisation, these works can be seen to probe to what extent a monstrous poeticisation of such experiences might shift stereotyping scopic regimes that produce the conditions for the widespread sexual violence against women or curtail reproductive freedoms. This experimentation, this article argues, seeks to establish awareness around the potential mobility of the concept of ‘vulnerability’ that has also been raised in recent feminist discussions.

차미학 정립을 위한 체계 구축 연구

An analysis system was established through perceptual characteristics in aesthetic experiences related to Korean tea culture around the 18th century when aesthetics were established as a study and tea-aesthetics were established as a detailed branch of Korean aesthetics. A literature review and case analysis of the tea culture space were conducted based on Gernot Böhme's ‘Atmosphere Aesthetics’. As a result of this study, an aesthetic proposition called the “space” of physical detection that combines the natural environment, external aesthetic elements, and perceptual characteristics of the aesthetic category was presented. Second is the “human” existential values that synthesize the aesthetic background of humanistic ideas, philosophical and aesthetic elements, and perceptual characteristics of aesthetic categories. Third is “vigor”, which is the utterance of intention that combines the aesthetic background of social culture, relational aesthetic elements, and perceptual characteristics of aesthetic categories. Through this analysis system of the tea-aesthetics, it is expected that tea-aesthetics can be established as a study for self-understanding and empathy education by freely interpreting the perceptual experiences of individual perceptual subjects.

Jiwa Keberagamaan Generasi Milenial di Kelurahan Titi Kuning Kecamatan Medan Johor

Generation is marked by the increasing use of digital media and technology. With the progress of the development of the global world has caused a change in perspective. The level of perspective of the millennial generation is more progressive about religion. This is developing in line with advances in technology for easy access to information. The results of the study show 1) The diversity of adolescents is seen from five elements. a) The subject's faith admits that he believes in the existence of Allah, Allah as his Lord and protector. God who gives health and sustenance. b) Knowledge and understanding of religious teachings, the subject knows about Islam from the pillars of Islam. c) Ritual worship, all subjects have performed ritual worship, namely prayer, fasting, zakat. d) The subject's religious experience has felt his religious experience such as feeling very happy to pray, pray midnight, dhuha and make fortune always smooth. e) Consequences of faith, subjects have solidarity among friends in the form of helping each other, being polite to older people, working together, and helping each other among friends is a form of worship that they consider important in life. 2) The origin of diversity in the millennial generation, the subject gains knowledge of the basics of different religions. Most get religious knowledge from their parents, and get religious education from certain institutions. In the millennial era, it is not only family, educational institutions, friendship circles, and organizations that are factors that influence the process of religious learning for young Muslims. Social media actually contributes to student religious learning as a Go-Jek partner. Because of current technological developments, those who used to take part in studies by coming to mosques in this millennial era, students only watch studies via the internet or YouTube channel. After conducting research, this research focuses on the religious spirit and religious origins of adolescents in the Titi Kuning Village, Medan, Johor. This study uses the theory of Starkan an Glock, namely diversity with five dimensions: ideological, ritualistic, intellectual, experiential and consequential. This research method uses a type of qualitative research. Data Collection Techniques using Interview Methods or interviews, observation, and documentation. Miles and Huberman's qualitative data analysis technique.

This is your brain on death: a comparative analysis of a near-death experience and subsequent 5-Methoxy-DMT experience.

Much research has focused on the modeling of the near-death experience (NDE) by classical and atypical psychedelics; however, to date, no study has reported on the relationship between the NDE and the experience induced by the highly potent, endogenous psychedelic drug 5-Methoxy-DMT (5MeO-DMT). This article presents a case study of an individual who is popularly documented to have had a profound near-death experience while in a coma caused by bacterial meningoencephalitis. Additionally, the individual also subsequently underwent an experience with 5MeO-DMT. A semi-structured interview was conducted with the subject concerning his experiences with both the NDE and 5MeO-DMT. A basic thematic analysis was performed on both the original text describing the NDE as well as the interview itself, which mainly focused on the subject's experience with 5MeO-DMT. This analysis was organized to identify both the similar and different emergent themes between the two states, with a particular emphasis on the subject's perceptions of the similarities and differences between the experiences. There is a very high level of comparability between the original NDE and psychedelic experiences in general, including shared characteristics such as entering other worlds, meeting menacing or benevolent entities, experiencing synesthesia, perinatal regression, and lucid dreamlike properties. Much comparability was also identified with the 5MeO-DMT experience, in particular the major mystical experiential domains, such as ego dissolution, but especially transcendence of time and space. However, there were also a few unique themes (life review, the deceased, and the threshold) that emerged in the NDE that were not present in the 5MeO-DMT experience or other psychedelic experience studies, suggesting that these themes may be more unique to the NDE. Despite such similarities, the participant asserted that his NDE and psychedelic experiences were not similar enough to be attributed to endogenous psychedelics. In this study, we discussed several mechanisms that could potentially account for the NDE, including lucid dreams and perinatal regression. However, the study also explored the possibility that the unique etiology of the participant's NDE, bacterial meningoencephalitis affecting the neocortex, may have triggered similar downstream neural activity as that initiated by psychedelic agents through pyramidal neuronal activation. This hypothesis is presented with appropriate caveats and acknowledged as speculative.

Understanding happiness and academic procrastination among undergraduate students in Kashmir: A quantitative as well as qualitative study

This paper reports two studies that examine the difference between happiness and academic procrastination among undergraduate students. The first study investigates gender and geographic location differences in happiness and academic procrastination levels, finding that males and urban students report higher levels of both. The second study, conducted in Kashmir, explores undergraduate students’ subjective experiences and perspectives on happiness and academic procrastination. The second study’s objective was to gain an understanding of how undergraduate students in Kashmir subjectively experience happiness and academic procrastination. Employing a qualitative research design and using thematic analysis, the study revealed that happiness is a personal experience that can be achieved in various ways, including through social relationships, activities, and gratitude. The study offers insights into the perceptions of undergraduate students in Kashmir regarding happiness and academic procrastination, which can aid in the creation of strategies to enhance student well-being and academic performance. Overall, the two studies underscore the importance of considering individual differences in levels of happiness and academic procrastination, as well as subjective experiences, when formulating interventions to endorse student well-being and academic success. By comprehending how students define and pursue happiness and recognizing the factors that contribute to academic procrastination, educators and policymakers can develop effective strategies to promote student well-being and academic achievement.

PENERAPAN PSIKOLOGI KOMUNIKASI DALAM MENGATASI GANGGUAN KESEHATAN MENTAL PADA GENERASI MILENIAL

This study uses an interpretive qualitative approach with a phenomenological study type of research. Interpretive is a social system that interprets behavior in detail by means of direct observation. This interpretation comes from efforts to find explanations about social events based on the perspectives and experiences of research subjects. Communication psychology can be applied to survivors of mental health disorders, if there is effective communication in the communication process, the psychology of the communicator views communication as not only being able to speak but also requiring a convincing appearance. This means that the communicant does not only pay attention to what the communicator says and communication psychology also applies message psychology, the message referred to here is language, namely the conclusion of words. The power of language that can move and control something.

Towards an objective theory of subjective liking: A first step in understanding the sense of beauty.

The study of the electroencephalogram signals recorded from subjects during an experience is a way to understand the brain processes that underlie their physical and emotional involvement. Such signals have the form of time series, and their analysis could benefit from applying techniques that are specific to this kind of data. Neuroaesthetics, as defined by Zeki in 1999, is the scientific approach to the study of aesthetic perceptions of art, music, or any other experience that can give rise to aesthetic judgments, such as liking or disliking a painting. Starting from a proprietary dataset of 248 trials from 16 subjects exposed to art paintings, using a real ecological context, this paper analyses the application of a novel symbolic machine learning technique, specifically designed to extract information from unstructured data and to express it in form of logical rules. Our purpose is to extract qualitative and quantitative logical rules, to relate the voltage at specific frequencies and in specific electrodes, and that, within the limits of the experiment, may help to understand the brain process that drives liking or disliking experiences in human subjects.

‘Apart from the Experiences of Subjects There Is Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, Bare Nothingness’—Nature and Subjectivity in Alfred North Whitehead

While long ignored, the philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead has attracted considerable interest and wide academic reception since the 2000s. One reason for the renewed interest in Whitehead’s work is most certainly that his philosophy and concepts offer a way out of dualistic schemes of thought that have dominated the conceptual framework of the West since modernity. In my paper, I focus on Whitehead’s undoing of the opposition between nature and subjectivity, for it is a crucial aspect of Whitehead’s concept of nature not to exclude subjectivity from the ‘realm of nature’. For Whitehead, subjectivity is a fundamental feature of the whole of reality and by no means exclusively human, leading to a radically non-anthropocentric, pluralistic notion of the subject.

Analyzing Human Observer Ability in Morphing Attack Detection—Where Do We Stand?

Morphing attacks are based on the technique of digitally fusing two (or more) face images into one, with the final visage resembling the contributing faces. Morphed images not only pose a challenge to Face-Recognition Systems (FRS) but also challenge experienced human observers due to high quality, postprocessing eliminating any visible artifacts, and further the printing and scanning process. Few studies have concentrated on examining how human observers can recognize morphing attacks, even as several publications have examined the susceptibility of automated FRS to morphing attacks and offered morphing attack detection (MAD) approaches. MAD approaches base their decisions either on a single image with no reference to compare against (Single-Image MAD (S-MAD)) or using a reference image (Differential MAD (D-MAD)). One prevalent misconception is that an examiner’s or observer’s capacity for facial morph detection depends on their subject expertise, experience, and familiarity with the issue. No works have reported the specific results of observers who regularly verify identity (ID) documents for their jobs. As human observers are involved in checking ID documents having facial images, a lapse in their competence can result in significant societal challenges. To assess the observers’ proficiency, this research first builds a new benchmark database of realistic morphing attacks from 48 different subjects, resulting in 400 morphed images. Unlike the previous works, we also capture images from Automated Border Control (ABC) gates to mimic realistic border-crossing scenarios in the D-MAD setting with 400 probe images, to study the ability of human observers to detect morphed images. A new dataset of 180 morphing images is also produced to research human capacity in the S-MAD environment. In addition to creating a new evaluation platform to conduct S-MAD and D-MAD analysis, the study employs 469 observers for D-MAD and 410 observers for S-MAD who are primarily governmental employees from more than 40 countries, along with 103 control group members who are not examiners. The analysis offers intriguing insights and highlights the lack of expertise and failure to recognize a sizable number of morphing attacks by experienced observers. Human observers tend to detect morphed images to a lower accuracy as compared to the four automated MAD algorithms evaluated in this work. The results of this study are intended to aid in the development of training programs that will prevent security failures while determining whether an image is bona fide or altered.

Time-of-day influences resting-state functional cortical connectivity.

Time-of-day is rarely considered during experimental protocols investigating motor behavior and neural activity. The goal of this work was to investigate differences in functional cortical connectivity at rest linked to the time of the day using functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS). Since resting-state brain is shown to be a succession of cognitive, emotional, perceptual, and motor processes that can be both conscious and nonconscious, we studied self-generated thought with the goal to help in understanding brain dynamics. We used the New-York Cognition Questionnaire (NYC-Q) for retrospective introspection to explore a possible relationship between the ongoing experience and the brain at resting-state to gather information about the overall ongoing experience of subjects. We found differences in resting-state functional connectivity in the inter-hemispheric parietal cortices, which was significantly greater in the morning than in the afternoon, whilst the intra-hemispheric fronto-parietal functional connectivity was significantly greater in the afternoon than in the morning. When we administered the NYC-Q we found that the score of the question 27 ("during RS acquisition my thoughts were like a television program or film") was significantly greater in the afternoon with respect to the morning. High scores in question 27 point to a form of thought based on imagery. It is conceivable to think that the unique relationship found between NYC-Q question 27 and the fronto-parietal functional connectivity might be related to a mental imagery process during resting-state in the afternoon.

Performing arts metaverse: The effect of perceived distance and subjective experience

As a new paradigm for experiencing virtual worlds, metaverses are beginning to gain traction as a new way to enjoy the performing arts. Additionally, as its feasibility as a new market for the distribution of performing arts has been confirmed, there have been various attempts to better enable audiences to experience performing arts in a metaverse. However, metaverse performing arts still require several improvements for active user participation and better enjoyment. It is also necessary to understand the barriers that people perceive in experiencing metaverse performing arts. Based on the construal level theory, this study explores and identifies the causal relationship in factors that influence viewing metaverse performing arts, such as the user's psychological distance, objective distance, subjective experience, and resistance. The results demonstrate that artistic distance is a significant factor that strongly affects resistance to viewing performances. Spatial, social, economic distance, and subject experience also impact resistance. The results also uncover the issues that must be discussed to vitalize metaverse-based performing arts.
