The Export of Bulgarian Literature, Cinema and Culture – What Is to Be Done?
Authors: Kamburov Dimitar
Published: August 2024

This text, presented at the international conference “Slavonic Literatures – Globalisation and Regionalism” in November 2023, discusses the actual condition of a practically non-existent state policy of exporting Bulgarian literature and cinema, as well as the tendency to shift the export from foreign audiences toward the Bulgarian diaspora abroad. After discussing the difficult acceptance of Bulgarian literature and cinema on the international scene and market, the text asserts the necessity of a particular state institution being established – an institution focused on the transformation of local art phenomena into world cultural events through their contextual domestication and critical reference in the foreign daily and cultural media, as well as on social media. The urge is a critical mass of art works to be created, capable of transforming quantity into quality – into a World-oriented Bulgarian cultural phenomenon.
Magica and Alchemy in Boyan Danovski's Dramatic Visions “Heart of the Jester” and “Heart of Scarlet Porcelain” in the Context of Modernist Experiments in Drama in the 1920s
Authors: Ivanova-Girginova Marieta
Published: August 2024

The text analyzes magical and alchemical rituals of different origins, which became conceptual cores in two of Bojan Danovski‘s dramatic visions: “Heart of the Jester” (the creation of the artificial human Humunculus) and “Heart of Scarlet Porcelain” (the revival of the toys – The porcelain doll and sculpture of Pierrot). Both visions appeared in the magazine “Hyperion” in the second half of the 20s of the last century. They are part of a larger corpus of eight visions the author sent from Italy to the magazine in 1922 – 1928. Нe published six of them in a separate book in 1929. Danovski‘s dramatic visions are a specific phenomenon in Bulgarian drama. They represent an expression of artistic synthesis in avant-garde art and offer interesting construction and ideas characteristic of the European avant-garde. The aim here is to show, through an analysis of the two visions mentioned: how B. Danovski creates his theater of marionettes and how he works with the rich cultural intertext embedded in the plays. The dramatic vision in three pictures and one pantomime The Heart of the Jester (1926) examines the transformation of medieval mysticism with its spiritualistic séances and dark magic. A desacralization of the magical through the techniques of avant-garde art stands out. The dramatic vision in three paintings Heart of Scarlet Porcelain (1923) traces the transformation in Maeterlinck‘s symbolist theater with the appearance of the porcelain toy dolls and symbolic marionette figures of the square commedia dell‘arte. Magical processes and rituals bind the two visions, in which the heart is a unifying image and a meaningful object. It emerges from the high poetic symbolism of Romanticism and Symbolism to become a literal thing – a magical/bloody ingredient for the action of the alchemical retort in The Jester‘s Heart and afine porcelain object in the text Heart of Scarlet Porcelain. The process of reification, literalization of symbols signals their vituperation and becomes part of the desacralization of occult rituals. The disenchantment of fairytale magic is a specific feature of Danovsky‘s poetics.

Volatility spillovers of global economic policy uncertainty and fear index among cryptocurrencies: A wavelet-based DCC-GARCH approach
Authors: Aydoğdu Aslan
Published: August 2024

This research analyzes the dynamic relationships between the economic and political uncertainty index and the fear index in global markets and cryptocurrencies using the wavelet-based DCC-GARCH method, considering different time scales. Monthly data sets for the periods 2012–April 2024 for GEPU,VIX, and Bitcoin and April 2016–April 2024 for Ethereum are used in the study. Findings are obtained in terms of the volatility interaction between cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin and Ethereum) and GEPU and VIX, as well as four different time scales representing the short, medium, and long term. As a result of the analysis based on raw data, it was found that there is no volatility interaction between cryptocurrencies and GEPU and VIX returns. However, there is a volatility interaction between past volatility shocks and current period volatility shocks in the 4-8 and 16-32 month investment cycle periods of VIX, Bitcoin, GEPU, and Ethereum and time scales. These results, which show that volatility shocks persist in both 4-month and 16-month investment cycles, have significant implications for investors and policymakers. They highlight the need for comprehensive information about changes in the global economy and politics, and they are expected to provide insights for both investors and policymakers.

Authors: Calvin Giovanni Ericko , Atmadja Hendra Tanu
Published: August 2024

Intellectual Property Rights, abbreviated as KI (Intellectual Property), has developed from time to time. This development was increasingly seen with the establishment of Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) in 1994 in the Uruguay Round. In TRIPs various IP issues are regulated, one of which is Patents. As a form of intellectual property rights, the granting of a patent by the state to a work or invention in the field of technology is an award to the inventor. These ideas can be realized in the form of processes or objects that are known and used in everyday life. All patent registrations must refer to the TRIPs that have been agreed upon by the participating countries. In 2019, a deadly virus was detected from the city of Wuhan, China, which was initially categorized as a form of pneumonia that attacks local residents. The World Health Organization (WHO) identified the virus as a new type of Corona Virus in January 2020, and gave it an official name as Corona Viruses Disease 2019 (Covid-19). Various countries have made efforts to overcome the malignancy of Covid-19, one of the efforts made is to try to find a drug or vaccine as a solution to the pandemic which is a world problem. Here, the author discusses whether the Covid-19 vaccine can be granted a patent under TRIPs and whether the patent granted is valid for the entire region or is territorial. The research method used is normative by reviewing the literature or secondary data. The conclusion from the above discussion shows that the Covid-19 vaccine can be granted a patent with a territorial application based on TRIPs.

Islamic boarding schools are advised not to involve ustadzah too much in activities outside of Islamic boarding school activities so that they can focus more on increasing Islamic boarding school competency. Apart from that, Islamic boarding schools need to continue to improve the abilities of their ustadzahs through upskilling efforts in mastering Arabic books. Simultaneous follow-up to programs that have been implemented is also needed. If weaknesses are found in future program implementation, a review needs to be carried out using appropriate research methods. In this way, efforts to empower ustadzah can continue to develop and make a greater contribution to Islamic boarding school learning.

Bacterial lysates (BLs) derived therapeutic products are usually administered to increase mucosal
immunity and to mainly prevent recurrent respiratory infections in children and adults. The effects of BLs are based on non-specific stimulation of immunity through toll-like receptors (TLRs) and activation of dendritic cells, which differentiate from immature state to mature state and release specific inflammatory cytokines, thus facilitating differentiation of T cells and B cells. We tested the in vitro maturation of dendritic cells induced by three BL compositions, nominated BL1, BL2, and BL3, prepared from bacterial strains available in ''Cantacuzino'' Institute’s collection, by mixing in precise ratios, thermic inactivated bacteria followed by lysis with 1% sodium deoxycholate (DOC). Cytokine profiles were investigated upon maturation of dendritic cells and in co-culture with T cells. Results showed that BLs can act as immunostimulatory agents in terms of proinflammatory cytokines secretion, such as IL-17, IL-6, and TNFα and also proved the immunomodulatory properties of DOC, the lysis buffer of bacterial mixtures.

Finite Element Analysis in The Investigation of Methods to Model AC Resistance in A Coated Conductor
Authors: Dai Shishun
Published: August 2024

In our electricity dependent and rapidly automated society, the manipulation and usage of electricity to transmit energy is of significant prevalence. In particular, the application of current in high frequency transformers, inductors and motor generators presents a unique efficiency problem: The loss of energy through the spiking of effective resistance intrinsically related to the skin and proximity effects of an AC current. By the usage of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in the simulative investigation of various variables on AC resistance, this paper seeks to provide insights into how coated conductors might offer advantages over the standard conductor in certain conditions, thus guiding future design and application in high-efficiency electronics. The papers findings reveal that adding a layer of coating with a lower conductivity than the core material could offer reduced energy losses up to the point when the skin depth matches the coating’s thickness. Moreover, the study explored the influence of the coating’s conductivity, suggesting that an increased conductivity of the coating material could further minimize copper losses, albeit with the trade-off of potentially higher costs. The study concludes with a Taylor Series approximation of the relationship between AC resistance and frequency using simulative data.

Published: August 2024

The resistivity of low resistance oil layers is similar to that of water layers, which poses difficulties for oil and gas development. This study mainly analyzes the genesis of the Chang2 low resistance oil reservoir in Wangpanshan District of Jiyuan Oilfield from factors such as formation water salinity, physical properties, pore structure, clay minerals, debris particles, and structure. It was found that the mineralization degree of water in the Chang2 formation in the Wangpanshan area is 79.04 g/L on average, and the water type is mainly CaCl2; Debris particles, clay minerals, pore types, and capillary forces affect the bound water saturation, resulting in low oil saturation in long reservoirs. The intrusion of freshwater mud causes a significant increase in water layer resistance. This study analyzes the genesis of the Chang2 low resistance oil reservoir and has certain guiding significance for oil production.
Landslide Susceptibility Assessment Analysis based on IV and IV-IOE Models: A Case Study of Mao County
Authors: Sun Fulu , Lv Yanan
Published: August 2024

Taking Mao County as the study area, and based on existing data combined with the characteristics of landslide development in the study area, six evaluation factors including elevation, slope gradient, aspect, land use, NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), and rainfall were selected. An independence test was conducted using Pearson correlation analysis to establish an evaluation index system for landslide disaster susceptibility. The study on the susceptibility of landslide geological disasters was carried out using both the Information Quantity Model and the Information Quantity-Entropy Index Model. The evaluation results were divided into five levels—extremely low, low, medium, high, and very high—using the natural break method based on GIS. The susceptibility of landslide geological disasters in the study area was clarified, and the accuracy was tested using the ROC curve. The experimental results show that the AUC values of the two evaluation models are 0.847 and 0.865, respectively, indicating that the Information Quantity-Entropy Index Model is superior to the Information Quantity Model and has stronger robustness in predicting the accuracy of landslide susceptibility.
Predicting Stock Prices Using The RF-LSTM Combination Model
Authors: Yao Yao
Published: August 2024

Because of the nonlinearity and complexity of stock data, a single model's prediction performance is insufficient. A combined RF-LSTM model is suggested to forecast the closing price of stocks in order to solve this problem. Firstly, stock data is obtained from the Kaggle platform, feature sets are constructed, and data is normalized. Secondly, considering the high nonlinearity and information redundancy among multiple features, the optimal feature set is selected using random forest (RF) to reduce data dimensionality and training complexity. Ultimately, a long-short term memory (LSTM) network—which is capable of processing time series data in deep learning—is used to forecast stock prices, and the prediction model is modified accordingly. Comparing the proposed RF-LSTM combined model to the single LSTM neural network model, the results indicate a reduction in root mean squared error (RMSE) and mean squared error (MSE) of 4.14% and 1.00%, respectively. The prediction accuracy of stock prices can be increased by using this combined model.

O programa profissional de aprendizagem Ler para Aprender e a pedagogia baseada em gêneros no ensino e na aprendizagem de línguas adicionais
Authors: Moreira Cardoso Vieira Miliane
Published: August 2024

Neste artigo descrevemos um macro procedimento para a sequência de gêneros do currículo, concebido na pedagogia baseada em gênero no Programa Ler para Aprender (LPA). A Linguística Sistêmico-Funcional (LSF) tem sido amplamente utilizada na análise, na educação de línguas e, também, no ensino e aprendizagem de línguas adicionais. Portanto, apresentaremos a aplicabilidade teórica e prática das contribuições da LSF e também da sociolinguística de Bernstein (2000) para o ensino e aprendizagem de línguas adicionais, com o intuito de que docentes possam aprimorar o ensino de leitura e de escrita em salas de aula através do uso do Ciclo de Ensino e Aprendizagem (CEA) e o ensino de gêneros nas escolas (Rose, 2016, 2018, 2020a, 2020b). Do ponto de vista metodológico, as atividades de ensino e aprendizagem são descritas com mais detalhes, destacando a interação professor/aluno através do Programa LPA, para que investigadores, formadores de professores e professores conheçam os gêneros do currículo, garantindo a metalinguagem pedagógica de que necessitam. Os resultados parecem sugerir que esboçar princípios para ensinar gêneros do currículo, para a formação de professores, pode trazer à consciência a estruturação das trocas pedagógicas, redesenhando-as no aprendizado por meio da leitura e da escrita.
O diabo visita a tradução – diálogos de Guimarães Rosa e seu tradutor em torno da autoria
Authors: Gama Mônica
Published: August 2024

A correspondência trocada por Guimarães Rosa e seus tradutores revela a construção de uma parceria em busca das melhores estratégias de transposição da ficção rosiana para outras línguas. A carta nesses casos configurou-se como um espaço discursivo habitado apenas pela literatura, apostando-se no diálogo para explicar e encorajar o tradutor. Elabora-se uma dinâmica em que a obra é retomada, observada novamente pelo autor a fim de encontrar redes de enunciação entre línguas e linguagens, experiência que resulta inclusive em novas estratégias ficcionais das narrativas rosianas da década de 1960. É o que vemos na proliferação de paratextos em Tutaméia – Terceiras Estórias, tais como o glossário. A parceria entre autor e tradutor ocorre em função não da repetição, mas da liberdade criativa que deveria guiar o trabalho de recriação da tradução.
A imprensa religiosa como fonte documental, histórica e literária
Authors: Silva Jeniffer Yara Jesus da , Pinheiro Márcia do Socorro da Silva
Published: August 2024

A pesquisa em fontes primárias revela autores, narrativas e discursos resgatados pelos documentos antes esquecidos ou negligenciados pelas diferentes áreas do saber, incluindo a dos Estudos Literários. O presente artigo objetiva expor um recorte de dados verificados em jornais religiosos do século XIX, brasileiros e católicos, entre as décadas de 1860, os quais não somente se destinaram a condenar a leitura de romances, como também publicaram prosa ficcional em meio à querela ideológica e política intitulada Questão Religiosa. As décadas escolhidas integram o período que compreende o momento histórico, antes e depois do estopim do embate, em 1872. As práticas de leitura, seja por meio de artigos ou de publicação de narrativas, estiveram presentes nestes jornais como meios discursivos e de fundamentação crítica para guiar o público leitor, logo, estas fontes revelam o potencial da ficção como instrumento de persuasão e divulgação de preceitos e posicionamentos ideológicos, como os religiosos. Espera-se que a partir das reflexões provocadas neste trabalho, os periódicos dogmáticos continuem sendo objetos de diferentes pesquisas possíveis na área dos Estudos Literários, como fontes fecundas de discursos e publicações, passíveis de reflexões e questionamentos as quais se instituem para além do resgate histórico-literário, inserindo-se nas pautas e debates políticos.
“Carta aberta aos caloteiros”: relações entre correspondência e imprensa
Authors: Silva Telma Maciel da
Published: August 2024

Entre os anos de 1963 e 1995, o contista paulistano João Antônio (1937-1996) se correspondeu com o amigo, também escritor, jornalista e historiador itapirense, Jácomo Mandatto(1933-2009). Os documentos produzidos por essa troca epistolar foram, em sua maioria, doados ao Fundo João Antônio, localizado no CEDAP – Unesp/Assis, no início dos anos dois mil, tendo sido organizados no que se convencionou chamar de “Coleção Jácomo Mandatto”. Dentre as centenas de cartas enviadas pelos correspondentes, este artigo analisa um conjunto no qual o escritor denuncia o que chama de “calote” por parte de grupos com quem estabeleceu parcerias de natureza comercial. Em um tempo em que não existiam as redes sociais ligadas à internet, era preciso muita criatividade para que tais denúncias chegassem ao grande público. Nesse sentido, as cartas tinham papel estratégico, pois permitiam a articulação em rede de escritores e jornalistas Brasil a fora. Analisaremos neste artigo algumas cartas de natureza híbrida, visto que ao mesmo tempo em que são documentos pessoais, também são destinadas ao público. Trata-se das chamadas cartas ostensivas/circulares, cuja função era sair da esfera íntima e alcançar a imprensa. Para tanto, elas eram enviadas para o maior número de correspondentes possível e publicadas em jornais e revistas.
Cartas ao fim de Camilo Mortágua
Authors: Rettenmaier Miguel , Santin Bruna
Published: August 2024

O presente estudo aborda um desfecho alternativo, não publicado, para o romance Camilo Mortágua (1980), de Josué Guimarães. Esse fechamento foi redigido pelo autor e possivelmente motivado pelas cartas recebidas sobre o livro. A obra em questão teve um grande sucesso de recepção, sendo considerada, por alguns críticos, uma das mais importantes da literatura brasileira, ao tratar de fatos históricos do início do século XX, até o golpe civil-militar de 1964. Camilo Mortágua comoveu alguns leitores ao ponto de esses se manifestarem, via correspondência ao autor, acerca do final da história do protagonista. Tais mensagens orientam o presente estudo a discutir as relações entre a carta, a recepção e o diálogo com o arquivo. Para o trabalho genético, são consideradas as bases teóricas de Biasi (2010) e Willemart (2014), em cotejo às teorias relacionadas à correspondência em Diaz (2016).
A prosa espontânea de Kerouac como provocação à crítica genética
Authors: Pinezi Gabriel Victor Rocha
Published: August 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar em que medida o projeto de escrita espontânea de Jack Kerouac impõe alguns problemas metodológicos para a crítica genética. Para este fim, divido a argumentação em duas partes. Na primeira, discutirei algumas das premissas antirromânticas da crítica genética no contexto da crise da representação e da “morte do autor” comentando passagens de Barthes e Derrida. Em seguida, com base na experiência de leitura de seus manuscritos, farei uma breve apresentação da obra e dos métodos de escrita de Kerouac para discutir como se pode entender formalmente a espontaneidade como um campo de investigação da crítica genética. Com isso, concluo chamando a atenção para a importância de se pensar metodologias de análise genética que ampliem a compreensão da enunciabilidade ou da performatividade do manuscrito, considerando o problema paulino da fé como “proximidade entre voz e coração”, tal como discutido por Giorgio Agamben.

Este artigo explora o jornal curitibano Polo Cultural, idealizado pelo poeta e jornalista Reynaldo Jardim, em circulação entre março e dezembro de 1978 e, atualmente, disponível no acervo da Biblioteca Pública do Paraná. Selecionamos um suplemento produzido fora dos grandes centros, menos amplamente conhecido e investigado, privilegiando, porém, que comportasse debates teóricos sobre a visão de cultura e de literatura então emergentes. A hipótese defendida é a de que a configuração do Polo Cultural, caracterizado por uma concepção ampla de cultura nacional e pela tentativa de defini-la por meio do estreitamento de laços com a comunidade leitora, é fruto de um contexto histórico específico: se, por um lado, a iminência da redemocratização possibilitava a formação de um horizonte utópico que permitia imaginar um novo tipo de sociedade; por outro, ela também impunha uma luta contra a massificação e contra a institucionalização da arte. Simultaneamente, examinamos também como a poesia publicada no Polo Cultural respondeu aos ideais do jornal e, consequentemente, aos desafios de seu tempo.
As fontes primárias e a produção de obras literárias
Authors: Sales Germana Araujo , Ferreira Sara Vasconcelos
Published: August 2024

O estudo em fontes primárias tem desvelado importantes informações a respeito da circulação e recepção de obras literárias nas províncias, além do intenso fluxo existente entre as capitais, a fim de debater e divulgar tais produções. Nessa perspectiva, retoma-se a análise das correspondências oriundas do Estado do Ceará, especialmente dos integrantes da agremiação literária Padaria Espiritual, para o jornal A Província do Pará durante os anos finais do século XIX. Sob os títulos “Da Capital” e “Do Ceará”, escritores como Antônio Sales e Sabino Batista discorreram a respeito de romances, contos e obras de poesia saídas à luz no Ceará e no Rio de Janeiro. O esforço entre os editores dos jornais de cidades distantes da capital do Brasil revela a existência de uma vida cultural e intelectual intensa; no entanto, ainda que tenha havido empenho, muitas dessas produções foram apagadas ou silenciadas ao longo dos anos e não são abrangidas pelo cânone literário. Diante disso, ao reaver as páginas do periódico A Província do Pará, reforça-se a influência e a importância dessas fontes na recuperação dessas informações e na recepção de tais obras literárias

This study presents a non-invasive and affordable monitoring system to estimate the electrical current demand during the milling of acrylic and expanded PVC, with and without the use of cutting fluid. The proposed system consists of an Arduino® board integrated with an SCT-013-000 electrical current sensor, an RTC-DS3231 shield, and an SC Card shield, which perform the measurement and storage of the electrical current, values collected directly from the power cable of the Router Spindle TVS.1ZM3.12. Data were collected in a machinability test, where different concentrations of cutting fluid and cutting parameters (cutting speed and feed rate) were evaluated. Outputs included surface roughess, electrical current consumption, chip shape and tool wear. The results were statistically analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), revealing that the different factors have individual effects on electrical current consumption. It was observed that tool wear contributed to an increase in the main motor’s consumption. Additionally, the reduction in electrical current consumption with the use of cutting fluid indicates a decrease in friction between the tool and the workpiece.
The Nudge agenda – possibly oversold and arguably underperforming
Authors: Neilson Fergus
Published: August 2024

Since the publication of Nudge by Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein in 2008, “nudging” has been widely adopted as a way intended to deploy limited government budgets more effectively, and as a means to change economic, social and political behaviour in ways that neither challenges individual freedoms nor imposes collective costs. However, doubts are emerging, both as to research validity and to operational outcomes. This article provides a brief overview of the ambitions, applications and ambiguities inherent in nudging. It concludes with the suggestion that nudging is no ‘silver bullet', but neither has it totally failed to deliver on its promise. It is just that its promise has been overblown and that the ‘nudge’ can be expected to deliver only as one element in a coordinated series of inter-institutional interventions that include compulsion, facilitation and information, as well as persuasion – the nudge itself.

This study investigates the impacts of various economic models on indigenous communities in Aklan, Philippines, with a special focus on sustainable practices within their ancestral lands. It examines the socio-economic, cultural, and environmental consequences of different business models. Additionally, it delves into the community members’ perspectives and aspirations regarding sustainable development, highlighting the primary challenges and opportunities they face. The study utilized a quantitative research approach, employing structured surveys to collect data from participants. The poll encompassed inquiries regarding demographic profiles, assessments of commercial effects, as well as the difficulties and possibilities encountered by the communities. A Pearson correlation analysis was performed to ascertain the association between demographic characteristics and perceived impacts. The study found that business models had a favorable effect on the socio-economic status, cultural preservation, and environmental conservation of indigenous groups. Diverse advantages were noted in the benefits offered by various business structures. Perceptions of these impacts were significantly related to age, educational background, career, and length of involvement in community activities. The main obstacles encompassed issues related to financial accessibility, infrastructure development, regulatory barriers, and educational deficiencies. Potential areas for development were recognized in eco-tourism, sustainable agriculture, partnerships with non-governmental organizations, market demand for indigenous products, and technology. The findings highlight the capacity of business models to improve the socio-economic, cultural, and environmental welfare of indigenous communities. It is essential to have customized company strategies that take into account the demographic variety. To achieve the successful adoption of sustainable business models, it is crucial to tackle financial, infrastructural, and regulatory obstacles. It is advised to improve financial assistance by providing grants and microfinance, investing in infrastructure, streamlining regulatory procedures, and establishing education and training initiatives. It is crucial to promote eco-tourism, enhance partnerships with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and stakeholders, and utilize technology to implement sustainable practices. It is crucial to have policies that effectively combine economic growth with the preservation of culture and the sustainability of the environment.

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) defines drug utilization as “the marketing, distribution, prescription, and use of drug in a society with special emphasis on resulting medical, social, and economic consequences.” Prescription monitoring and drug utilization patterns should be taken care, so it will provide better efficacy and reduce the adverse drug reactions.

Aim and Objective: The aim of the study was to assess the prescribing pattern (using the WHO prescription Indicators).

Materials and Methods: A retrospective drug utilization study was conducted in the post-operative patients of obstetrics and gynecology (OBG) department over a period of 4 months after getting approval from Institutional Ethics Committee. Name, sex, age, diagnosis, and treatment were recorded from patient’s case sheet of post-operative patients. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis with the help of Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software.

Result: A total of 238 cases were recorded. The average number of drugs per encounter was seven. Antacids, analgesics, antibiotics, and intravenous fluids were common. About 99.57% of encounters were prescribed an antibiotic. Average number of injections prescribed was 95.8% and 525 (31.47%) were prescribed by their generic name. About 99.8% were from the National list of essential medicine-2015.

Conclusion: It was observed that most of the drugs were prescribed according to the national essential list of medicines. Major advantage in of the study is to prevent irrational prescription and reduce health-care burden in the community.
