O Instituto Adolfo Lutz (IAL) foi criado em 1940 como resultado da unificação dos Institutos Bacteriológico e Bromatológico, um moderno laboratório voltado ao controle de doenças, inaugurando uma nova fase de Laboratórios de Saúde Pública no estado de São Paulo. Os primeiros testes sorológicos oferecidos à população foram executados pelas “antigas” Seções de Sorologia e de Imunologia. Destaca-se a importância dessas seções no desenvolvimento científico do IAL pela realização de pesquisas, produção científica e inovação tecnológica, seguramente, fundamentais para a saúde pública no decorrer dos anos. O Centro de Imunologia do IAL (CIM-IAL) foi criado em 2010, com a unificação das Seções de Sorologia e Imunologia, quando ocorreu a reorganização institucional. O CIM-IAL participou de importantes avanços científicos na área da saúde, reforçando sua capacidade em desenvolver pesquisas, executar e monitorar o diagnóstico e a vigilância de diferentes agravos. Este manuscrito tem como objetivo apresentar os principais acontecimentos que ressaltam o papel fundamental na busca de soluções para os problemas de saúde pública, desde a época das Seções de Sorologia e Imunologia até tornar-se o Centro de Imunologia. Na elaboração deste trabalho foram utilizadas bibliografias contendo dados históricos, científicos e relatos de profissionais da área.

Published: June 2024

Este artigo discute os aspectos de aproveitamento do ICMS objeto da recuperação tributária, que se tornou realidade a partir de 15/03/2017, com a decisão do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF). Assim sendo, o objetivo geral desse estudo é abordar como a exclusão do ICMS da base de cálculo do PIS/PASEP e da COFINS gera caixa através de créditos tributários na recuperação administrativa, especificamente para as empresas tributadas pelo Lucro Presumido, independentemente de sua natureza jurídica e de suas atividades econômicas, bastando apenas confirmarem ser contribuintes do ICMS, do PIS/PASEP e da COFINS. A metodologia utilizada neste artigo foi uma simulação, com referências bibliográficas e legais para elaboração. Este artigo direciona ao entendimento de que o ICMS não integra o faturamento das empresas, uma vez que ele é repassado para o FISCO, demonstrando uma extraordinária oportunidade para os escritórios de contabilidade, empreendedores, gestores, diretores e controllers, a maximização de recursos para o caixa das Entidades.

A pesquisa analisou os fatores e impactos da solidão na velhice, além de identificar intervenções para melhorar a vida dos idosos solitários. Utilizando a base de dados PUBMED e outras fontes, foram encontradas 112 publicações, com 50% provenientes do PUBMED. O inglês foi o idioma predominante (46,9%), sendo 2021 o ano mais prevalente (15,6%). O tipo de estudo mais recorrente foi o de campo (18,75%). O estado civil foi o principal fator de risco para a solidão em idosos (21,8%), junto com a perda de entes queridos e o estado de saúde prejudicado. O isolamento social foi o impacto mais comum (26,6%), seguido pela dependência e depressão. As intervenções prevalentes foram o uso de tecnologias, socialização, atenção à saúde, qualidade do sono, rede de apoio e avaliação holística (13,3% cada). Conclui-se que é crucial considerar estado civil, perda de entes queridos e saúde física como fatores de risco. Abordar o isolamento social é essencial. As intervenções sugeridas, como tecnologias, socialização e suporte da rede de apoio, podem melhorar a qualidade de vida dos idosos solitários. Esses resultados têm implicações práticas, destacando a necessidade de intervenções personalizadas para lidar com a solidão na velhice, envolvendo profissionais de saúde, assistência social e familiares.

Wieviel Harmonie verträgt ein Gesundheitssystem?
Authors: Haring Malte , Gersch Martin , Amelung Volker
Published: June 2024

Die Patientenorientierung scheint – zumindest an der Oberfläche – alle Akteure des Gesundheitswesens zu einen. Unter der Oberfläche existiert aber eine Vielzahl von berechtigten Partikularinteressen. In der allgemeinen Managementlehre gibt es eine umfassende Diskussion zu den Implikationen unterschiedlicher Interessen und vor allem dazu, wann sie konstruktiv wirken und wann sie zu unauflösbaren Konflikten führen. Anhand von Beispielen aus der aktuellen Gesundheitspolitik wird aufgezeigt, wie diese Erkenntnisse auf das Gesundheitssystem übertragen werden können.
Izolované kosterní nálezy anatomicky moderního člověka z mladého paleolitu střední Evropy
Authors: Zábojník Vojtěch
Published: June 2024

Příspěvek řeší problematiku izolovaných kosterních nálezů anatomicky moderního člověka (AMČ) z mladého paleolitu (MP). Cílem bylo přezkoumat ostatky AMČ a interpretovat nálezové okolnosti z lokalit, které se nachází na území Německa, Rakouska, Česka, Polska, Slovenska a Maďarska. Nálezy AMČ jsou často izolované a v některých případech i velmi fragmentované, proto je velmi obtížné interpretovat, které procesy zapříčinily tento stav. Nejčastější interpretace izolovanosti těchto nálezů se jeví biotičtí a abiotičtí činitelé, tedy geologické procesy, činnost šelem a člověka. Dále můžeme říci, že ze skeletálních nálezů AMČ jsou nejpočetnější fragmenty diafýz končetin. Pokud vezme v úvahu hustotu kostí na morfologii, pak je ale větší pravděpodobnost dochování kranio-dentálních prvků.

ВАТОПЕДСЬКИЙ МОНАСТИР НА АФОНІ ТА ЙОГО ЗВ’ЯЗКИ З УКРАЇНСЬКИМ ЧЕРНЕЦТВОМ І КОЗАЦТВОМ у XVI–XVIII ст.
Authors: Shumylo Serhii
Published: June 2024

Мета дослідження: на основі аналізу маловідомих архівних джерел та опублікованих матеріалів простежити існування зв’язків афонського Ватопедського Благовіщенського монастиря з ченцями та прочанами з українських земель у XVI–XVIII ст, виявити роль української козацької старшини у ктиторській підтримці Ватопедської обителі та святогірських ченців. Методологічні засади дослідження ґрунтуються на принципах історизму, наукової об’єктивності, системності, діалектичному підході до історичних явищ. Відповідно до поставленої мети й завдань було використано сукупність загальнонаукових, міждисциплінарних, спеціальних методів дослідження. Наукова новизна. Використовуючи наявну джерельну базу, розглянуто маловідомі сторінки з історії українсько-афонських зв’язків у XVI–XVIII ст. Шляхом аналізу маловідомих джерел та опублікованих матеріалів по-новому розкрито історію українських контактів зі ставропігійним Ватопедським монастирем на Афоні в XVI–XVIII ст. Розглядаються свідчення про перебування прп. Іова Княгиницького у Ватопедському монастирі. Привертається увага до малознаного факту, що невістка Богдана Хмельницького Розанда в 1667 р. передавала в дар Ватопедському монастирю свої маєтки з селами на р. Дністер на вічний молитовний спомин про загиблого чоловіка Тимоша Хмельницького, а з дозволу гетьмана Івана Мазепи в землях Гетьманщини здійснював збір пожертв намісник Ватопедського монастиря архімандрит Парфеній. Наголошується, що особливо активно взаємини проявилися в XVIII ст., коли Запорозька Січ долучилась до «ктиторського патронування» над цим афонським монастирем. Зокрема, привертається увага до подорожі ватопедських ченців землями Слобожанщини й Гетьманщини протягом 1761–1764 рр., яка передувала листуванню ченців Ватопеда з кошовим отаманом Війська Запорозького П. Калнишевським і збиранню в українських землях пожертв на підтримку та розбудову святогірської богословської школи «Афоніада», що діяла при цій обителі. Наголошено, що аналіз пом’янників афонських монастирів XVII–XVIII ст. та інших джерел засвідчує, що ктиторами, донаторами та жертводавцями афонських обителей у цей час нерідко виступали українські гетьмани та представники козацької старшини, яка розглядала участь у підтримці афонських монастирів як неодмінний атрибут свого елітарного статусу в українському суспільстві XVIII ст.
ЛІКВІДАЦІЯ ОСТАННІХ УНІАТСЬКИХ ОБЩИН У ВОЛИНСЬКІЙ ОБЛАСТІ (1944–1945 рр.)
Authors: Fedchuk Оlexander
Published: June 2024

Мета роботи полягає у виясненні обставин функціонування та ліквідації останніх уніатських парафій у Волинській області в 1944–1945 рр. Методологія дослідження ґрунтується на принципах історизму, обʼєктивності та критичного аналізу джерельного матеріалу. Індукція та дедукція, як методи наукового пізнання, дали змогу зробити загальні висновки про стан уніатського руху на основі сукупності окремих фактів, чи ж пояснити ці факти з огляду на загальні закономірності. Просопографічний метод допоміг виявити найважливіші деталі біографій уніатських священників. Наукова новизна роботи полягає в доповненні й уточненні відомостей про обставини ліквідації останніх уніатських парафій Волинської області. Це вдалося завдяки залученню джерел, на які раніше не звертали увагу поодинокі дослідники неоунійного руху на Волині. Проведене дослідження дало змогу зробити висновки про те, що після повернення радянської влади у Волинській області залишилося функціонувати тільки дві уніатські парафії – в селах Гумнище Берестечківського району та Гнійне Вербського району. Заснована в 1934 р. парафія в Луцьку, хоча й вказувалася в статистиці Луцької курії, але вже не існувала. Збереження двох названих уніатських осередків стало наслідком ідейної твердості їх настоятелів – священників Маркела Височинського та Кіндрата Лавренчука. Курс на ліквідацію уніатських парафій на Волині влада взяла влітку 1945 р. Він повністю узгоджувався з процесом воззʼєднання Української Греко-Католицької Церкви із Руською Православною Церквою Московського патріархату, що стартував на Галичині. Формально місіонерською роботою в цьому напрямку займалося духовенство Волинсько-Рівненської православної єпархії під керівництвом єпископа Миколая (Чуфаровського), але його повністю контролювали уповноважені Ради у справах РПЦ та Ради у справах релігійних культів. Попри спротив обох уніатських священників, у грудні 1945 р. вказані парафії були возз’єднанні з РПЦ МП.

Метою статті є оприлюднення виявленого в ЦДІАК України документа, що стосується історії селища Радуль (колишньої слободи). Дослідження здійснено з використанням загальнонаукових методів аналізу та синтезу, історико-критичного, архівної евристики та реконструкції тексту опису слободи Радуль під час проведення Генерального опису Лівобережної України, поданого скорописом другої половини XVIII ст. Наукова новизна дослідження полягає у введенні до наукового обігу невідомого раніше писемного джерела, яке відзначається високим ступенем інформативності, щодо історії селища Радуль. Матеріали Генерального опису містять цінні відомості про домашні господарства, промисли та ремесла мешканців, розмір податків, чисельність, вік, працездатність, походження та родинні зв’язки населення, а також інформацію щодо часу заселення тієї чи іншої родини у слободі. Висновки. Значимість наведеного документа досить велика. Адже й досі про час заснування Радуля в наукових колах немає єдиної обґрунтованої думки. Незважаючи на багатоваріантність написання літер, різні почерки, велику кількість помилок і викривлень прізвищ та імен, а також незадовільний загальний стан збереження документа, що в багатьох випадках ускладнив його прочитання, відомості Генерального опису дозволяють фактично стверджувати, що певна частина родин старообрядців заселилася у слободі Радуль ще за часів гетьмана Івана Мазепи. Оприлюднення цього документа неабияк слугуватиме охочим здійснити генеалогічні дослідження свого роду.

Інститут державності рідко коли міг існувати без системи захисту від зовнішніх загроз; історично склалося, що важливим елементом такого захисту є військо / армія. Але розглядаючи історію українського державотворення середини ХVII ст., можна говорити про зворотній процес, коли політичний та соціальний інститут – козацька держава, формувалась як похідна від формування власних збройних сил – козацьких полків та сотень. Погодимось із автором монографії «Козацький Марс: Держава та військо Козацького Гетьманату в добу Мілітарної революції. 1648–1764», що творення державності відбувалось «на марші» – через формування військово-адміністративної організації, яка стала основою нової влади. Водночас фундаментом цього процесу були політичні традиції Речі Посполитої. В основі нової полкової організації вбачаємо традиції існування магнатських сотень сер. XVI ст., міщанських сотень прикордонних міст Київського воєводства, реєстрових полків, чиє функціонування було більш-менш оформлено Куруківським договором 1625 р. Важливу роль у формуванні політичних інститутів Гетьманщини відіграла українська шляхта, яка через покозачення влилася до нової еліти й стала носієм «довоєнних» шляхетських цінностей. Цей безсумнівний «шляхетський спадок» вплинув на оформлення усіх політичних інститутів Гетьманщини.

Authors: Ali Hasan Hadi , Alyasiri Ali Jawad
Published: June 2024

Zoonosis are diseases that arise from animals where humans contract infectious diseases from animal reservoirs, either naturally or through zoonotic vectors. Multiple databases like PubMed, Google Scholar, Research Gate were searched to collect scientific research articles on ‘Zoonosis’ in Iraq. Articles were identified through a comprehensive search of the literature and by references from many articles identified through the search process. In addition to the plan for the control of zoonotic diseases issued by the Ministry of Health and Environment / Department of Public Health. On the basis of this review, the numbers of zoonosis during the mentioned five years are compared through a line graph. Emphasis is placed on the increasing annual burden of zoonosis on public health in Iraq. The effects of various factors such as animal husbandry, urbanization, poverty, climate change, and adaptation to pathogens on the emergence of zoonosis are discussed in this article. Public health sectors in Iraq need to be proactive by emphasizing effective periodic surveillance, prior assessment or prediction of zoonosis and public health support. Some zoonotic diseases pose a significant public health threat to humans, while others may cause significant agricultural and social or economic impacts. The well-known nature of many aspects of zoonosis has always been a challenge in preparing for and responding to zoonotic threats at the human-animal interface of the environment, highlighting the critical need for a multifaceted and articulate approach to health to address this health. threats.

Authors: Hassan Hanan Elzeblawy , Saleh Asmaa Salah Eldin Mohamed , Mohamed Amal Abelazyeem , Mohamed Mona Moawad
Published: June 2024

Background: The hepatitis virus is a blood borne virus but can also is found in other body fluids such as semen and vaginal secretions. Body fluids, such as urine, faeces, tears and vomit, also contain the virus but usually carry a far lower risk of transmission. The risk of transmission of viral hepatitis B and C and other blood borne infections through the transfusion of contaminated blood and blood products is extremely high, and, despite being preventable, still occurs because of the absence, or poor quality, of screening in blood transfusion services. Ensuring the availability of safe blood and blood products is a vital public health duty for every national government. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess hemodialysis nursing staffs' knowledge regarding elderly viral hepatitis C and B. Design: A descriptive exploratory design was utilized in the current study. Setting: The study was carried out in two hemodialysis units at Beni-Suef University Hospital and Elwasta General Hospital in Beni-Suef Governorate. Subjects: A convenient sample of 76 hemodialysis nurses. Results: about 69.8% & 68.4% of them has incomplete knowledge about the causes of viral hepatitis and the items that should be taken when taking patient history with viral hepatitis, respectively, and 51.3% of the dialysis nurses have fair level of total knowledge about viral hepatitis B & C for elderly patients in the dialysis units. Also, 31.6% of them have good level of total knowledge, while, 17.1% of them have poor level of total knowledge. Conclusion: A highly statistically significant relation between dialysis nurses' knowledge about viral hepatitis B & C for elderly patients in the dialysis units and their education level, their training program for new dialysis nurses, and years of experience in nursing field (P=< 0.05). Recommendations: Policy makers should formulate a national plan of continuing education to help nurses already in the dialysis unit to retain and update their knowledge and clinical skills.
Nation, gender, and classical music on higher music education institution websites
Authors: Werner Ann , Ferm Almqvist Cecilia
Published: June 2024

Classical music is an artform that can, symbolically and materially, construct ideas about nation and gender. Higher music education institutions are central to classical music production and shapes in particular the gendered nature of music and musicianship by gendering instruments and constructing notions of feminine and masculine styles of music. Further, the repertoire performed in higher classical music education has displayed elements of patriotism and nationalism. The aim of this article is to investigate how three European higher music education institutions – the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, Tallinn, Estonia; the Sibelius Academy at the University of the Arts, Helsinki, Finland; and the Liszt Academy of Music, Budapest, Hungary – represent nation, gender, and classical music on their websites. The material analyzed here consists of selected multimodal pages from the institutions’ websites: video, text, links, and pictures. They are analyzed in a discourse-theoretical manner focusing on the construction of nation, gender, and classical music. Conclusions discuss the (white) male European master as integral to the heritage of classical music on the websites as well as differences in how the institutions present themselves as ‘national’. The article illustrates how contemporary classical music higher education in Europe relies on representations of national and masculine traditions despite being part of current European Union higher education initiatives promoting internationalization and gender equality.
High and Low in Music
Authors: Bjurström Erling
Published: June 2024

The article explores the relationship between canonicity and the border between high and low culture within music. It departs from the assumption that the border is mainly constituted and upheld by what are considered oppositional high and low poles. Likewise, the border rests on musical as well as extramusical dimensions and can consequently be discerned in music as well as its social, cultural, and economic infrastructure or context. By becoming a crucial building block in the infrastructure of popular music in the 1940s, music charts laid the groundwork for a more clear-cut antagonism between high and low in music, based on the impetus of an implied opposition between canonicity and charts. Even though this opposition remains an indicator – and a microcosm – of the border between high and low in music, the cultural weight and status of both the classical canon and the pop charts have changed considerably, not least because of the so-called digital revolution. The last part of the article discusses how this shift from analog to digital has altered the relationship between canonicity and the distinction of high and low in music.
Effect of curing temperature on the mechanical characteristics of cement-treated soils: a review
Authors: Vinh Ngoc Chau  , Duy Hung Nguyen  , Son Ngoc Be
Published: June 2024

Nowadays, the treatment of soft soil with cement is gaining popularity to meet the demands of construction development. Various factors, including soil type, cement content and type, water-cement ratio, curing conditions, and others, influence the effectiveness of this method in enhancing soil mechanical properties. The impact of curing temperature on mechanical properties is significant, and the curing temperature in cement-treated soil typically increases due to the heat generated from cement hydration. This heat is retained in the soil for an extended period, particularly in deep mixing columns. This review summarizes the existing papers conducted regarding the effect of curing temperature on cement-soil mechanical properties, focusing on strength and stiffness. The present paper also includes strength prediction models that consider the influence of curing temperature. In addition, the Thermogravimetry analysis (TGA) used to determine the chemically bound water content in cement-treated soil and the X-ray diffraction (XRD) test to explain the chemical mechanism in cement-treated soil are also mentioned.

The present study aims to describe the main methodologies that contribute to the treatment of osteoarthritis through the use of collagen. The present study is a narrative review of the literature, which aims to examine and synthesize the available literature on treatments used in osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis, in general, has as forms of treatment the use of antiinflammatories, physical measures such as weight loss, muscle strengthening and physiotherapy, as well as infiltrations with corticosteroids. In the most severe cases, the only option was surgical treatment. However, several non-pharmacological therapies can also be used to treat it. Among them, acupuncture, manual therapy, physiotherapy, among others, stand out. However, even if there is a significant relief of symptoms, such means do not guarantee the desired evolution of the disease and may still present some restrictions due to the effects of the disease. Thus, some studies report the efficiency of administering the undenatured form of type II collagen, which can bring better results for chronic inflammation resulting from the disease and enable humoral regulation of immunity through the mechanism of oral tolerance.

The COVID-19 pandemic has a serious impact on the tourism industry throughout the world, including on Bali which is known as a major tourist destination. Juridical identification of vehicle rental regulations is important in post-pandemic tourism recovery efforts. This article aims to analyze legal framework regarding vehicle rental for foreign tourists in Bali, with a focus on aspects such as licensing, consumer protection, and the obligations of renters and service providers.
Even though Bali has relaxed some tourist travel restrictions, new challenges have emerged regarding arranging vehicle rentals that are safe and in accordance with health protocols. It is necessary to pay attention to whether the existing regulations are sufficient to accommodate new post-pandemic needs. In addition, important to identify opportunities or obstacles that the vehicle rental industry may face in adapting.
An in-depth understanding of the applicable legal framework can provide guidance for vehicle rental service providers and related agencies to take appropriate steps to facilitate tourism recovery in Bali. By ensuring compliance with legal regulations, as well as paying attention to health and safety needs, it is hoped that the vehicle rental industry can become one of the driving forces for tourism recovery in Bali after the pandemic.
Unveiling Promising Research Avenues: A Systematic Guide for Selecting Researchable Topics
Authors: Islam Md Aminul
Published: June 2024

One of the most challenging aspects of research is choosing a suitable topic. It is hard not to be intimidated by unlimited subjects in every field. Formulating effective research questions is one way to ease the stress of choosing a topic. Regrettably, some problems often arise as students attempt to formulate questions and topics. Researchers can avoid painful and frustrating wasted hours by recognising potential problems. This research employs bibliometric analysis with the R software to examine data obtained from Scopus database. The results show that there are limited number of papers available on this topic in the Scopus database. There is undoubtedly a gap in this area of research and therefore more research needs to be conducted on identifying a researchable topic. This paper provided guidelines to identify a potential research topic with a constructive approach. Researchers can reduce frustration and wasting of time by avoiding topic apathy, selecting a broad topic, not reading enough, and not being inquisitive enough. Researchers should focus on three significant features: capability, appropriateness, and relevance. The paper suggested beginning the process of identifying the research topic by developing a depth of knowledge in the area of interest. The depth can be developed from the literature, beginning from the core to the latest research papers that can be tracked from websites like Google Scholar, Research Gate etc.

From Explainable AI to Explaining to AI (X2AI): Representational Practices in AI at Work
Authors: Hafermalz Ella , Huysman Marleen , Retkowsky Jana
Published: June 2024

This paper introduces the concept of "Explaining to AI" (X2AI) in the context of organizational and work environments, contrasting it with traditional "Explainable AI" (XAI). While XAI focuses on making AI systems transparent to human users, X2AI emphasizes the interactions where humans explain themselves to AI, specifically through representational practices of training, prompting, and feeding AI models. This shift highlights the political dimensions of representation and recognition within AI systems, stressing the need for AI to understand human contexts and identities. We discuss the implications of these representational practices for work and organizational studies, proposing future research avenues to address the sociotechnical dynamics of AI integration in workplaces in a way that goes beyond traditional emphases on transparency as an antidote to opacity.

Background: Argyranthemum foeniculaceum is a traditional herb used in Yemeni folk medicine to treat mouth infections. Phytochemical acetylenes and sesquiterpene lactones were isolated from this plant. A. foeniculaceum possesses antibacterial activity, but there is no current data on its activity alone or combined with antibiotics against bacteria causing periodontal diseases. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of ethanol extract of A. foeniculaceum and antibiotics (ampicillin, gentamicin and levofloxacin) as well as their combination against S. aureus, S. mutans, S. pyogenes, and A. actinomycetemcomitans. Materials and Methods: The antibacterial activities of ethanol extract and antibiotics were evaluated using the agar-well diffusion method. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of plant extract against selected bacteria were assessed using the microdilution method. The synergistic effect of plant extract in combination with antibiotics was evaluated by measuring the diameter of the zone of inhibition. Results: In this study, ethanol extract of A. foeniculaceum showed good antibacterial activity against four bacteria that cause periodontal diseases. The Maximum antibacterial effect was exhibited by A. foeniculaceum extract against A. actinomycetemcomitans (MIC = 6.25 µg/ml, and MBC = 12.5 µg/ml), whereas the minimum activity was displayed by A. foeniculaceum extract against S. aureus (MIC = 50 µg/ml and MBC = 50 µg/ml). The interactions between A. foeniculaceum crude extract and the antibiotics used varied, with synergistic, additive, and antagonistic effects observed depending on the bacteria strain. The best synergism was displayed by the plant extract with gentamicin against A. actinomycetemcomitans (the inhibition zone was 33 mm). Combinations of Levofloxacin and ethanol extract showed an additive action against A. actinomycetemcomitans Conclusion: A. foeniculaceum extract can be used alone or in combination with antibiotics in the fight against bacterial infections that cause periodontal disease.

Authors: Susanto Danny
Published: June 2024

This study investigates the portrayal of female characters in the popular mobile game, Mobile Legends, focusing on the character Karina, and its implications for gender representation in the gaming industry and broader societal contexts. Drawing from feminist theories and semiotics by Roland Barthes, the research examines how Karina's characterization challenges or reinforces patriarchal norms within gaming narratives. The analysis delves into the appeal of Karina for both male and female players, exploring how her portrayal embodies a blend of masculine strength and feminine charm. Through the lens of feminist scholars such as Simone de Beauvoir and Spivak, the study evaluates whether Karina's depiction in Mobile Legends aligns with or counters traditional gender stereotypes, particularly regarding the perceived inferiority of women. Furthermore, the research examines the implications of Karina's characterization for players of different genders, considering how it reflects and potentially shapes broader societal attitudes towards gender roles and equality. Ultimately, the findings highlight the complex interplay between gender representation in gaming and societal perceptions, advocating for more inclusive and empowering portrayals of women in digital entertainment narratives.
