Authors: Ramadhan Zahara Almira , Ariastuti Marti Fauziah
Published: August 2023

The death of George Floyd’s in May 2020 has raised the popularity of the phrase “I can’t breathe” as a statement against racism. This phrase inspired musician H.E.R., to write a song called I Can’t Breathe, which raises the issue of not only police brutality but also racism against black people in general. The objective of this study is to analyze the ideological structures and visual components in the song and examine how these aspects contribute to the Black Lives Matter movement. The lyrics and music video will be analyzed using multimodal discourse analysis. The findings of the lyrics and video analysis indicate that white superiority and violence towards black people are the root cause of the continuing protests against black racism. By using multimodal discourse analysis, this study establishes a strong connection between I Can’t Breathe and Black Lives Matter. The song serves as a protest aligning with the Black Lives Matter movement. The context behind the racial issues and the values of the movement in tackling the issues are conveyed clearly through the ideological structures and visual components of the song. Perjuangan Kulit Hitam dalam Lagu I Can’t Breathe karya H.E.R.: Analisis Wacana Multimodal. Kematian George Floyd pada bulan Mei 2020 menimbulkan popularitas atas frasa “I can’t breathe” sebagai pertentangan rasisme. Frasa ini menginspirasi H.E.R., seorang musisi, untuk menulis lagu berjudul I Can’t Breathe, yang tidak  hanya berbicara tentang isu kekerasan polisi, tetapi juga rasisme terhadap kulit hitam secara keseluruhan. Tujuan dari penilitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis struktur ideologi dan komponen visual dalam lagu tersebut, dan mengamati apakah gerakan Black Lives Matter didukung oleh aspek-aspek tersebut. Lirik dan video klip lagu  ini akan dianalisis menggunakan analisis wacana multimodal. Berdasarkan analisis lirik dan video, ditemukan adanya indikasi bahwa dominasi dan kekerasan yang dilakukan orang kulit putih terhadap kulit hitam adalah masalah utama dari protes sosial yang ada. Dengan menggunakan analisis wacana multimodal, penelitian ini mendefinisikan hubungan yang kuat antara lagu I Can’t Breathe dengan gerakan Black Lives Matter. Lagu ini berperan sebagai sebuah protes yang mendukung Black Lives Matter. Konteks dari isu rasisme dan juga nilai-nilai sosial dari gerakan Black Lives Matter disampaikan dengan jelas melalui struktur ideologi dan komponen visual lagu tersebut.

Cardamom (Amomum cardamomum) is a herbal plant with various phytochemical compounds such as phenols, starch, tannins, terpenoids, flavonoids, and antioxidants. Cardamom of the same type but originating from different regions can produce variations in the content of metabolites. This study aimed to select cardamom accession containing high starch, chlorophyll, and antioxidant capacity. The research was conducted at Biopharmaca Experimental Garden, Cikabayan IPB University from March to August 2022 using four cardamom accessions, i.e., Bogor Hijau, Bogor Merah, Ciamis and Sukabumi. Three leaves were taken for each accession, with three replications. The leaves taken were numbers 5, 6, and 7 counted from the tops of the cardamom plant. The methods used in this study were the phenol-sulfuric acid method, the DMSO method, the DPPH method, and the CUPRAC method. The results showed that the highest starch content was produced by the cardamom of Bogor Merah accession, with an average of 3.63 g (100 g)-1 FW. The highest total chlorophyll content was found in the cardamom of Bogor Hijau accession, with an average of 1.9 mg g-1 FW. At the same time, the highest antioxidant capacity using the DPPH method was produced by the cardamom of the Sukabumi accession with an average of 1.28 μmol TE g-1 FW. In comparison, the highest antioxidant capacity of the CUPRAC method was produced by the cardamom of the Bogor Hijau accession with an average of 5.71 µmol TE g-1 FW. Thus, it is recommended to use Bogor Merah dan Bogor Hijau accession for further evaluation.

El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar el potencial hídrico superficial de la cuenca Guantánamo-Guaso a partir de la evaluación de la cantidad y calidad de sus recursos hídricos superficiales. Se utilizaron los datos de precipitaciones de 60 equipos pluviométricos localizados en el área obteniéndose el mapa isoyético para determinar el escurrimiento medio hiperanual, considerando que la cuenca no posee estaciones hidrométricas. El potencial hídrico superficial total (232.521 hm3) resultó ser reducido en un 28 % por requerimientos ambientales y en un 19% por la calidad del agua. Los problemas asociados a la calidad de agua se relacionan con la existencia de fuentes contaminantes; mientras que la disponibilidad está influenciada, en el último decenio, por intensas sequías, cuyos efectos se han agravado en el último decenio como consecuencia de los efectos del cambio climático. Esta investigación constituye un punto de partida para la toma de decisiones en la gestión hídrica de la cuenca Guantánamo-Guaso a fin de garantizar el abasto de agua para diferentes propósitos.

Authors: E Lucena Marcus Vinícius Peixoto Carvalho , Passinho Janaque Nunes , Theodosio Sandra Cristina Serra , Gouveia Paulo Leonardo Santos , Rosa Fernanda Costa , Gomes Wolia Costa
Published: August 2023

Objective: The challenge of this work was to diagnose the sustainable benefits of civil construction and the perception of employees in a cement factory based on a new production methodology.

 

Method: The study was carried out through quantitative and cross-sectional research, with the application of a questionnaire via Google forms for employees and customers of the factory under study.

 

Results and conclusions: The sampling plan was 62.79% male, 58.14% married, 28.93% aged between 28 and 32 years old, 32% technical level, 11.63% post graduates and 22% of participants demonstrated understanding about sustainability. 77% of employees are unaware that the industry used a less aggressive production method for the environment, unique in Maranhão. We conclude that the industry under analysis has sought to implement good socio-environmental practices, but to achieve more expressive results, it needs to qualify and involve the entire production and consumption chain of the civil construction market with qualification programs, to guarantee the horizontalization of information with effective socio-environmental actions and thus preserving future generations.

 

Research implications: The research highlights the perception of workers/collaborators in the cement industry on the consumption and sale of products that minimize the negative effects on the environment.

 

Value of originality: This is original research that contributes to the understanding of the impact of the cement industry, during the production process, from the extraction of raw material. Since it degrades the environment by contaminating water and soil, it also interferes with human health, in addition to proposing the search to balance the negative socio-environmental impacts through cement production.

The authors studied the antitumor efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in combination with radiodynamic therapy (RDT) in an in vivo experiment. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the N.N. Alexandrov National Cancer Center of Belarus (protocol dated February 25, 2022, № 180). The work was performed on 26 white non-linear rats weighing 200 ± 50 g. Pliss lymphosarcoma (PLS) was used as a tumor model, which was transplanted subcutaneously. Photosensitizer (PS) «Photolon» (RUE «Belmedpreparaty», Belarus) was administered intravenously at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg of body weight. The RDT session was performed by the contact method (CRT) once 2.5–3 times after the end of the infusion of the PS on the «microSelectron-HDR V3 Digital apparatus» (Elekta, Sweden) using γ-radiation (192Ir) in a single focal dose 6 Gy. A PDT session was performed once immediately after exposure to ionizing radiation using a «PDT diode laser» (LTD Imaf Axicon, Belarus, λ=660±5 nm) at an exposure dose of 100 J/cm2  with a power density of 0.2 W/cm2  and a power of 0.353 watts. All rats were divided into 4 groups of 6–7 animals each: intact control (IC), PS + PDT, PS + CRT, PS + CRT + PDT. The criteria for evaluating antitumor efficacy were: the average volume of tumors (Vav, cm3 ), the coefficient of absolute growth of tumors (K, in RU), the coefficient of tumor growth inhibition (TGI, %), the frequency of complete tumor regressions (CR, %), the proportion of cured rats (%), an increase in the average duration of dead rats (%). Differences were considered statistically significant at p<0.05. On the 18th day of the experiment, Vav. in groups was 63.25±2.76 cm³; 29.03±6.06 cm³ (p=0.0002); 22.18±5.94 cm³ (р<0.0001); 11.76±3.29 cm³ (p=0.0000), respectively. Coefficients K – 4516.86 RU; 2638.09 RU; 2024.45 RU; 979.00 RU. TGI coefficients – 54.10% (PS + PDT); 64.93% (PS + CRT); 81.41% (PS + CRT + PDT). An increase in the average duration of dead rats indicator – 48.57% (PS + PDT); 60.00% (PS + CRT); 97.71% (PS + CRT + PDT). On the 60th and 90th days of the experiment, the frequency of PR and the proportion of cured rats were the same and amounted to 0%; 16.7%; 14.3%, and 28.6%, respectively. The results obtained indicate the prospects and relevance of further research in this scientific direction.

A spectroscopic study of the photophysical properties of methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solutions was carried out. Absorption and fluorescence spectra as well as fluorescence lifetime were recorded. The concentration dependence of the intensity and shape of the spectra allowed establishing the ranges of MB concentrations for in vitro and in vivo studies at which aggregation is not observed (up to 0.01 mM, which corresponds to 3.2 mg/kg). Studies of photodegradation in biological media showed that photobleaching of more than 80% in plasma and culture media is observed already at a dose of 5 J/cm2 , while in water at this concentration and dose photobleaching is not yet observed, and at a dose of 50 J/cm2  photobleaching of MB is about 30%. It was found that in media containing proteins and having an alkaline pH, photobleaching occurs significantly faster than in neutral aqueous media. The ionic strength of the solution has no effect on the photobleaching rate. Such photobleaching is caused by the photodegradation of MB rather than the transition to the leucoform.The efficiency of singlet oxygen generation and photodynamic activity were evaluated in vitro. In the investigated range of MB concentrations, the efficiency of singlet oxygen generation is rather low, because positively charged MB binds to negatively charged cell membranes, which leads to a change in the type of photodynamic reaction. The emergence of other reactive oxygen species (ROS), different from singlet oxygen, in cells has been demonstrated. The generation of ROS and the low quantum yield of singlet oxygen generation indicate the tendency of MB to provide the type I photosensitization mechanism (electron transfer with the formation of semi-reduced and semi-oxidized MB+ radicals) rather than to the type II mechanism (energy transfer to oxygen with the formation of singlet oxygen) in biological media and in vivo.
