This study examines the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on loss in decision-making, laziness, and privacy concerns among university students in Pakistan and China. Like other sectors, education also adopts AI technologies to address modern-day challenges. AI investment will grow to USD 253.82 million from 2021 to 2025. However, worryingly, researchers and institutions across the globe are praising the positive role of AI but ignoring its concerns. This study is based on qualitative methodology using PLS-Smart for the data analysis. Primary data was collected from 285 students from different universities in Pakistan and China. The purposive Sampling technique was used to draw the sample from the population. The data analysis findings show that AI significantly impacts the loss of human decision-making and makes humans lazy. It also impacts security and privacy. The findings show that 68.9% of laziness in humans, 68.6% in personal privacy and security issues, and 27.7% in the loss of decision-making are due to the impact of artificial intelligence in Pakistani and Chinese society. From this, it was observed that human laziness is the most affected area due to AI. However, this study argues that significant preventive measures are necessary before implementing AI technology in education. Accepting AI without addressing the major human concerns would be like summoning the devils. Concentrating on justified designing and deploying and using AI for education is recommended to address the issue.
This article examines the linguistic trajectories, lived language experiences, and repertoires of three young Chedungun (dialect of the Mapuche language) and Spanish Pewenche bilinguals-subjects who have traditionally been overlooked in sociolinguistic research on the Mapuche language. Drawing on recent developments in critical ethnographic sociolinguistics, mobility studies, and speaker-centered approaches, the study engages post-structural and phenomenological perspectives on language and subjectivity. Using language grids and language portraits, complemented by ethnographic observation, the analysis shows that these young Chedungun-speaking subjects possess heteroglossic repertoires and display complex metalinguistic awareness and linguistic subjectivity. Their repertoires emerge from their particular trajectories of learning and language use that reflect participation in polycentric spaces operating at multiple scales, each shaped by specific orders of indexicality, linguistic-ideological associations, and stances. The study also identifies a process of self-recognition of their potential as speakers. Research of this kind can contribute to the development of more democratic and inclusive models of inquiry, moving beyond one-dimensional theoretical and methodological approaches that oversimplify the role of language in speaker's lives and in society.
Objectives: To determine the relationship between dietary habits and nutritional status of caregivers of pediatric cancer patients. Method: Descriptive, associative study. Non-probabilistic convenience sample. Consisting of 20 caregivers and their respective patients. Food frequency questionnaires were administered to assess the diets of caregivers and their patients. The nutritional status of caregivers and patients was assessed using weight and height data reported by caregivers. Results: Both caregivers and patients showed low adherence to dietary guidelines, characterized by insufficient consumption of essential foods (vegetables, dairy products, fish, and water) and high consumption of meat and ultra-processed foods. Although dietary patterns were similar in both groups, differences were identified in the consumption of sweet pastries, cereals, dairy products, and processed salty foods. Conclusions: Both groups showed low adherence to dietary recommendations, with high consumption of ultra-processed foods and deficiencies in essential foods. The high prevalence of overweight and obesity highlights the need for comprehensive interventions that promote sustainable eating habits in the family context.
In the context of the ecological debate of the 1980s, F & eacute;lix Guattari formulates his ecosophy, a response to the warning of climate change, but above all to the production of subjectivity in Integrated World Capitalism. It is the elaboration of an expanded notion of ecology and the eminently practical roots of his political reflection that distinguish this proposal. This article seeks to resituate ecosophy in the current political and ecological debate. To this end, it begins by analyzing the crisis of the production of subjectivity in current capitalism, a problem that has repercussions not only in the psychological sphere, but also in the social and environmental, forcing the construction of an ecology that transversally integrates such registers. Later, the review of Guattari's visit to Chile will allow us to analyze the tensions that nourish the political and ethical scope of the ecosophical practice. Finally, the analysis of Guattari's linkwith Latin America will allow us to understand the impact of his fieldwork on the conception of the aesthetic paradigm that sustains ecosophy as a response to the desire for catastrophe expanded by the discourses on the crisis.
The following work presents a reading proposal of the stories "The Dirty Kid" from the collection Things We Lost in the Fire by Mariana Enriquez (1973) and "The Eye Silva" by Roberto Bola & ntilde;o (1953-2003), included in the book Killer's Prostitutes. The focus is on the corporeal figure of the child as a site of spoken, mute, and significant writing, based on the ideas of Camille Dumouli & eacute; in Les trois & eacute;critures du corps: L'& eacute;criture parl & eacute;e, l'& eacute;criture muette, l'& eacute;criture parlante. In light of this, a reconfiguration of the subject as both a being and a boundary it represents is generated, according to the guidelines of Christian Pardo-Gamboa and Tatiana Calder & oacute;n Le Joliff. The Dirty Kid is offered to sorcerers and drug traffickers, who end up consuming his body before the gaze of another silent observer. Meanwhile, The Eye Silva apparently rescues the children who would be presented as offerings, objects, of blood for a deity-which eventually consumes him in the process. Considering these characteristics, as well as developments and symbolizations, both texts can be framed as representations of what is proposed in Gore Capitalism (2010) by Sayak Valencia: the child subject embodies the final product venerated by anthropophagic snuff.
