Published: October 2024

This study investigates the dynamic interplay between architectural elements and narrative construction in J.R.R. Tolkien’s novel The Hobbit (1937) and its cinematic adaptations directed by Peter Jackson. By focusing on both literary and cinematic mediums, this research elucidates how architectural elements contribute to world-building, character development, story progression, and thematic expression. The fantasy genre, with its potential for spatial constructs, provides fertile ground for this exploration. Through comprehensive analysis, it is revealed that Tolkien’s strategic use of spaces such as the Shire, Erebor, and the Woodland Realm enhances the narrative's depth and realism. These spaces are integral to the narrative, reflecting the cultural and moral attributes of their inhabitants and influencing the story's progression. In parallel, Jackson's films reinterpret these architectural spaces, employing cinematic techniques to amplify their visual and emotional impact. The adaptation showcases the integration of architectural elements with narrative and character development, creating a different kind of experience for viewer. This study adopts an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from literary analysis, film studies, and architectural theory, to offer new insights into the significant role of architecture in storytelling. The research highlights how architectural principles are translated into narrative devices in literature and visual representations in film. The findings underscore the transformative potential of architectural elements in narrative construction, highlighting their importance as central components rather than mere background settings. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the multifaceted relationship between architecture, literature, and film, and calls for further interdisciplinary exploration to fully appreciate the impact of spatial dynamics in narrative art.

Authors: Bielai Serhii , Emanov Vladislav , Trobiuk Volodymyr , Sporyshev Kostiantyn , Petik Andrii
Published: October 2024

The article represents an attempt of conceptual comprehension of the phenomenon of hybrid threats, which, although inextricably linked with hybrid warfare, still may not include armed conflict even with participation of only irregular combatants. Rather, hybrid threats are aimed at undermining adversary’ infrastructure or gaining much control over it, and sow internal societal tension. Geopolitical components, drivers and factors of hybrid threats are analyzed. Based on analysis of literature sources and practical cases, it is concluded that anticipatory approach is the only way of effective combatting hybrid threats, but implementation of this approach could be backed by a collective change in mentality and a stronger national narrative, while the initiative should be suggested by public administration. There is a need for fresh thinking while expanding the traditional enemy-centric threat assessment and response.

Authors: Arispe-Vazquez Jose L. , Noriega-Cantu David H. , Toledo-Aguilar Rocio , Flores-Hernandez Luis A.
Published: October 2024

The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) CH3[Si(CH3)2O]nSi(CH3)3 as an adjuvant in bioherbicides and synthetic herbicides (chemicals) for weed (Johnson grass S. halepense and star grass Cynodon sp.) management in the lime plot. A total of 20 treatments were conducted, which included bioherbicides and synthetic herbicides, each with three replications, the dose was 50% more polydimethylsiloxane and 100% according to the product label. The experimental design was a randomized block design, with a factorial arrangement with three factors: A (products) with 10 levels, B (adjuvants) with 2 levels and C (evaluation dates) with 5 levels, each block consisted of an area of 5 m by 4 m. The assessment was carried out periodically, every week (5 evaluations), the scale proposed by EWRS was used. The results were in percentages and a 3-factor factor analysis was performed, where A (products) = 10 levels, B (adjuvants) = 2 levels and C (evaluation dates) = 5 levels, and the mean comparison test with Tukey (α ≤ 0.05), using SAS software. According to the results obtained, a significant difference is only presented between factors A (products) and B (adjuvants) (P < .0001). In factor A, the highest levels in weed control were glyphosate, diuron + carfentrazone and ammonium glufosinate with an average of 80.8, 74.0 and 70.8%, respectively. Regarding the interaction between the factors, only the A*B factors were present (P < .0001), only in the glyphosate, BH2 and diuron were the treatments with the highest interaction when using the 50% dose + polydimethylsiloxane as an adjuvant at a dose of 2 ml per 1 L of water with 76.2, 72.93 and 71.33%, respectively. The date when the treatments had the highest weed control effect was at the second and third week. These results underline the effect of polydimethylsiloxane to optimize the use of herbicides, not only in combination with chemical herbicides, but also with bioherbicides, offering an efficient and economic alternative for weed management (Johnson grass S. halepense and star grass Cynodon sp.).
A discourse analysis of blind spots in Sinclair and Coulthard (1992) model of classroom discourse
Authors: Mariam Anana
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the blind spots in Sinclair and Coulthard’s revised classroom discourse (CD) structure of Teacher’s Initiation, Students’ Response and Teacher’s Feedback (IRF). The study suggests the Initiation (2), Response (2) and Feedback (2) (IIRRFF) pattern which may be suitable for today’s CD. This pattern permits equal contributions by classroom participants. The study adopts a quantitative method for data collection; a qualitative-descriptive research design and Information Processing Theory (IPT). Data were collected through a questionnaire distributed to English lecturers and students from three tertiary institutions in Nigeria. The results show a high percentage of participants who confirmed that Sinclair and Coulthard’s IRF model has blind spots; 86% of the respondents agreed that the model may lead to a limited understanding of what is taught; 80% agreed that dual initiations and feedback are rejected in this model, and 70% strongly agreed that the model should be expanded to accommodate other fields of language learning. The study recommends that CD should be categorized into two major types: the teacher’s utterances and the students’ utterances. The IIRRFF pattern that allows teachers and students to have equal slots in every CD should be implemented. This will encourage students’ full participation and interaction.

Published: October 2024

This study investigates the effectiveness, potential, and challenges of utilizing the Zoom platform for online English language instruction, as perceived by EFL university students and their instructors. The research employed a mixed methods approach, integrating quantitative data from 67 student participants and qualitative insights from seven teachers. An ARCS (attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction) model questionnaire was used to assess students’ perceptions, while teachers’ perspectives were obtained through semi-structured interviews. The survey results were analyzed using SPSS v 24.0, and the interview data were thematically scrutinized. The findings indicated that Zoom effectively met students’ learning needs, captured their attention, and provided relevant content. However, sustaining long-term engagement and fostering students’ confidence were the remarkable challenges. From the teachers’ perspective, Zoom’s features, such as breakout rooms and interactive whiteboards, enhanced the learning experience. Notably, discrepancies emerged between student and teacher perceptions, particularly regarding technical difficulties, the absence of non-verbal cues, and attention retention issues. To address these challenges, the study recommends prioritizing technical support, providing orientation sessions, refining engagement approaches, and adopting blended learning to maximize the potential of Zoom. Overall, this study emphasizes the importance of addressing technical and engagement barriers to enhance the effectiveness of online platforms used for English language teaching (ELT).

La relación individuo-sociedad desde la perspectiva comunicativa de la filosofía dialógica
Authors: Gil Alberto
Published: October 2024

En las redes sociales y demás medios de comunicación uno se ve a menudo inmerso en un ambiente anónimo difícil de contestar, pero de una gran fuerza coercitiva y con exigencias de exclusividad, pues se presenta revestido de autoridad moral y de defensa del hombre. No someterse a ello tiene consecuencias de marginación.
En tales circunstancias no es fácil sentirse miembro de una comunidad que nos margina, si no pensamos y hablamos como la declarada mayoría. Sin embargo, la conciencia de ciudadanía y responsabilidad por el bien común exigen buscar caminos para sentirse involucrados en la sociedad y al mismo tiempo usar del derecho a seguir la propia conciencia y a preservar la identidad. En el presente artículo se intentará dar una respuesta al problema desde la perspectiva comunicativa de la filosofía dialógica, con su concepto del encuentro, ampliando el horizonte hacia nuevas corrientes sociológicas que ven la relación como el fundamento de la sociedad. En este sentido juegan un papel importante conceptos como la razón relacional, la alteridad y la diferencia, así como las virtudes cívicas y su aplicación en ambientes prepolíticos.

Este artigo apresenta uma análise das pesquisas sobre os objetivos de desenvolvimento sustentável (ODS) publicadas em periódicos brasileiros, visando fornecer um panorama abrangente e detalhado das pesquisas sobre os ODS, contribuindo para uma compreensão mais aprofundada sobre o tema e seu impacto no cenário nacional. A análise foi baseada em artigos extraídos das bases de dados Spell e Web os Science. Os resultados mostraram que os ODS mais estudados estavam relacionados à sustentabilidade ambiental, redução da pobreza e educação. A abordagem qualitativa foi a mais utilizada. A análise também revelou a diversidade de autores e instituições envolvidas nas pesquisas, bem como das referências bibliográficas utilizadas. De forma seminal, este estudo já fornece indícios da dinâmica da produção acadêmica sobre os ODS, revelando algumas facetas das pesquisas, podendo ser ampliado a partir do uso de outras bases de dados, assim como aprofundado em relação a análise das metodologias usadas nas pesquisas a partir das informações contidas nas sessões de procedimentos metodológicos, uma vez que neste estudo se fez uso apenas das informações constantes nos resumos dos artigos. Assim, espera-se que este trabalho contribua nos estudos sobre os ODS, pois ao traçar um perfil das pesquisas e dos métodos por elas empregadas, torna-se possível a identificação dos nortes utilizados e dos pontos que carecem de serem estudados ou complementados.

O estudo avaliou o conhecimento e os fatores associados à saúde bucal infantil de mães e pré-escolares em Montes Claros, MG. As consequências da má higienização bucal, juntamente com a ingestão de alimentos cariogênicos em crianças, resultaram em doenças que afetaram negativamente a qualidade de vida. Tendo em vista que essa faixa etária possui pouca autonomia para esse cuidado, foi de fundamental importância a figura de um agente orientador capacitado para promover bons hábitos e comportamentos para a saúde bucal infantil. Tratou-se de um estudo transversal quantitativo, realizado por meio da aplicação de questionários a crianças em idade pré-escolar de dois a quatro anos, mães e pré-escolares vinculados às escolas/creches selecionadas na pesquisa. Nos questionários, foram coletadas informações sociodemográficas das mães, além do conhecimento e prática acerca da saúde bucal infantil de todos os participantes. A digitação e análise dos dados foram feitas pelo SPSS® 22.0. A pesquisa contou com uma amostra de sessenta e duas crianças, sendo 62,9% do sexo masculino e 37,1% do sexo feminino. 53,2% afirmaram não saber o que é a doença cárie, enquanto 46,8% apresentaram conhecimento sobre o assunto. Em relação aos objetos de escovação, 87,1% responderam corretamente. Por fim, a respeito da dieta, 79,0% identificaram corretamente os alimentos saudáveis.

Após diversas análises é possível identificar que a utilização de containers vem progredindo no ramo da construção civil, especialmente nas edificações e em sua adaptação para a habitação, onde se destaca nos quesitos de sustentabilidade e de economia, principalmente, devido ao fato de possibilitar uma redução de custo em até 39% do orçamento da construção. O ramo da engenharia civil vem evoluindo e investindo na sustentabilidade, na praticidade, na agilidade e na acessibilidade, sempre dando extrema importância e garantindo a segurança e a qualidade da execução das atividades e dos serviços.
Samba, religião e poder da mulher negra: uma história de luta nos espaços públicos
Authors: Lima Terezinha do Socorro da Silva , Alves Elaine Vasconcelos Bezerra
Published: October 2024

Na década de sessenta os diversos gêneros musicais apresentavam visibilidade acerca de um contexto de restrição dos direitos de cidadania e o samba se mostrava como uma possibilidade de contestação. Levando em consideração que a população em sua maioria era composta de negros e mestiços, as mulheres negras passaram a fazer parte de grupos que entoavam o samba partido alto: curimbas do Rio de Janeiro, e em suas melodias o grupo expressava também a religiosidade afro-brasileira. Dentre tantas mulheres negras que se destacaram, estão: Ilaria Batista (tia Ciata), Clementina de Jesus, Ivone Lara e Beth Carvalho, que trouxeram o fortalecimento do candomblé, religião que se formou a partir das irmandades religiosas católica. O objetivo geral é fazer uma discussão da mulher negra em diferentes contextos e consecutivamente os desafios e estratégias de superação de suas dificuldades. A metodologia utilizada foi uma abordagem bibliográfica, a partir de um recorte da década de sessenta até o presente momento, de uma amostra de mulheres negras que vivenciaram essa problemática em seus contextos históricos. A análise de bibliografias possibilitou a sistematização e a construção do presente trabalho, juntamente com outras fontes históricas que retratam essa cultura. Realizaram-se também estudos de informações extraídas de produções escritas relacionadas à temática, seguindo uma análise reflexiva de acordo com as categorias em questão. Neste trabalho os elementos constitutivos de entrave para afirmação desse segmento social tornam-se relevante no contexto atual para que a mulher negra na contemporaneidade possa ser a protagonista dessas discussões, nos meios onde os saberes são passíveis de serem despertados nos espaços públicos.
