Peranan Whistleblowing Dalam Meningkatkan Integriti Anggota Polis Diraja Malaysia (Pdrm): Kajian Ke Atas Kontinjen Perak
Authors: Megat Arifin Megat Ayop , Ahmad Abd. Halim
Published: July 2020

Whitsleblowing is one of the positive practices in organizations that are able to raise the level of integrity among the members of an organization. However, the roles of whistleblowing also inevitably invites a response, especially among members of the organization itself. This is because such practices are viewed as one factor that may be detrimental to the organization in addition to revealing the reporter (whistleblower) to some external threats and intimidation of discrimination within the organization. This paper is an attempt to examine the relationship between perceptions of members of the Royal Malaysian Police (RMP) Contingent of Perak through the role of whistleblowing practices to increase the perception of the integrity of the members. Next, identify the purpose of the whistleblowing and its effect on the integrity of the members of the organization. This study used a descriptive quantitative analysis to identify patterns of relationship that exists between the perception of whistleblowing practices with perceptions of increased integrity based on three basic variables of demographic factors, response to whistleblowing and the impact of making the report. The results showed that members of the Perak’s police have a positive perception of whistleblowing practices which are seen to be done in improving the integrity of the members.Keywords: whistleblowing, perception, RMP members, culture, integrity, organization, influence.

ABSTRAK: Whitsleblowing merupakan salah satu amalan positif dalam organisasi yang mampu untuk meningkatkan tahap integriti ahli-ahli dalam sesebuah organisasi. Namun begitu, amalan whistleblowing juga turut tidak dapat mengelak daripada mengundang pelbagai respon khususnya dalam kalangan ahli organisasi itu sendiri. Amalan sebegini turut dilihat sebagai salah satu faktor yang boleh memudaratkan organisasi di samping mendedahkan pelapor (whistleblower) kepada beberapa bentuk ancaman ugutan dari luar dan diskriminasi dalam organisasi. Kertas ini merupakan satu upaya untuk melihat perkaitan antara persepsi anggota Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) Kontinjen Perak melalui peranan amalan whistleblowing terhadap persepsi peningkatan integriti anggota. Seterusnya, mengenalpasti maksud whistleblowing dan pengaruhnya terhadap tahap integriti anggota dalam organisasi. Kajian ini menggunakan analisis kuantitatif berbentuk deskriptif bagi mengenalpasti corak hubungan yang wujud antara persepsi terhadap amalan whistleblowing dengan persepsi terhadap peningkatan integriti berdasarkan tiga pembolehubah asas iaitu faktor demografi, tanggapan terhadap whistleblowing dan kesan daripada tindakan membuat laporan. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa anggota PDRM Perak mempunyai persepsi yang positif terhadap whistleblowing yang mana ianya dilihat perlu dilaksanakan dalam meningkatkan integriti anggota.Kata kunci: whistleblowing, persepsi, amalan, anggota PDRM, budaya, integriti, organisasi, pengaruh.
Persepsi Pelajar Melayu UNITEN berkaitan Kemahiran Menggunakan Tulisan Jawi sebagai lambang Identiti Bangsa Melayu dan Tulisan Jawi sebagai lambang Identiti Bangsa Melayu Beragama Islam
Authors: Abdul Rahman Noor Azam , Mohd Amin Noraziah , Razali Wan Noorli
Published: July 2020

Sejarah perkembangan tulisan Jawi sangat berkait rapat dengan penyebaran agama Islam daripada orang Parsi ke Kepulauan Melayu (Nik Hassan & Wan Zana, 2015). Tulisan Jawi dalam pembinaan tamadun Melayu, khususnya pada zaman kegemilangan Kerajaan Melayu Melaka telah digunakan dalam bidang persuratan sebagai cara untuk merakamkan segala khazanah ilmu pengetahuan dan kebijaksanaan masyarakat Melayu (Hashim Musa, 2005). Pada zaman Kerajaan Melayu Melaka juga, kemahiran menggunakan tulisan Jawi sebagai tulisan dalam bahasa Melayu merupakan salah satu identiti bagi bangsa Melayu beragama Islam (Nik Hassan & Wan Zana, 2015). Walau bagaimanapun, kajian Madihah Mohamad (2007) menunjukkan pelajar Melayu hari ini sudah tidak berminat membaca dan menulis menggunakan tulisan Jawi. Berdasarkan isu, kajian ini dijalankan untuk mengenalpasti persepsi pelajar Melayu di institusi pengajian tinggi (UNITEN) berkaitan kemahiran menggunakan tulisan Jawi sebagai salah satu lambang identiti bangsa Melayu, dan kepentingan tulisan Jawi sebagai lambang identiti bangsa Melayu beragama Islam. Kajian ini menggunakan borang soal selidik sebagai medium pengumpulan data, dan data yang dikumpul kemudiannya dianalisis menggunakan perisian SPSS. Hasil kajian mendapati, majoriti pelajar Melayu UNITEN yang terlibat dengan kajian ini bersetuju bahawa kemahiran menggunakan tulisan Jawi merupakan salah satu lambang identiti bagi bangsa Melayu di Malaysia. Hasil kajian juga menunjukkan sebilangan besar responden bersetuju kepentingan tulisan Jawi sebagai lambang identiti Melayu beragama Islam.

Published: July 2020

Had kifayah zakat merupakan mekanisme menentukan tahap ekonomi seseorang individu untuk menjalani kehidupan secara normal. Majlis Agama Islam Negeri (MAIN) dan Institusi Zakat Negeri bertangungjawab dalam menentukan had kifayah zakat yang diaplikasikan di negeri masing-masing. Kaedah sedia ada yang digunapakai oleh kebanyakan MAIN dan institusi zakat adalah mengikut taksiran cukai pendapatan dan purata garis kemiskinan. Justeru artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengetengahkan pendekatan maqasid syariah sebagai alternatif baharu dalam penetapan had kifayah zakat. Artikel ini akan mengenalpasti definisi had kifayah zakat dan maqasid syariah menurut Islam. Artikel ini juga akan menilai item-item yang terdapat dalam had kifayah zakat berdasarkan pandangan Islam seterusnya disesuaikan dengan maqasid syariah. Artikel ini mendapati bahawa pendekatan maqasid syariah berdasarkan kepada tahap keperluan manusia iaitu daruriyyat, hajiyyat dan tahsiniyyat dilihat mampu menjadi kaedah alternatif yang berkesan dan memenuhi kehendak Syarak. Implikasi artikel ini dapat dijadikan rujukan kepada institusi-institusi zakat di Malaysia dalam kajian semula kaedah penetapan had kifayah zakat. Kajian lanjutan boleh dijalankan oleh institusi-institusi zakat negeri bagi mengenalpasti had kifayah zakat di setiap negeri berdasarkan kepada maqasid syariah.

Kerelevanan Pertimbangan Nilai dalam Penyelidikan Ekonomi Politik Islam
Authors: Alias Mohd Syahmir
Published: July 2020

Antara cabaran dalam melaksanakan penyelidikan berkaitan bidang ekonomi politik adalah untuk mengelakkan diri daripada terlibat dengan pertimbangan nilai atau value judgment. Hal ini kerana, kewujudan pertimbangan nilai dalam penyelidikan akan memberi kesan kepada pembentukan dasar awam (public policy). Bertitik tolak daripada permasalahan ini, sarjana Jerman, Max Weber memperkenalkan suatu konsep dalam penyelidikan sains sosial yang dikenali sebagai konsep bebas nilai. Konsep ini dikemukakan hasil daripada perdebatan mengenai campur tangan matlamat politik dalam penyelidikan yang menentukan polisi sosial di Jerman. Persoalannya, apakah konteks yang mewujudkan konsep bebas nilai ini dan asas-asasnya? Bagaimanakah konsep ini relevan dalam melaksanakan penyelidikan berkenaan ekonomi politik Islam? Oleh yang demikian, makalah ini mempunyai tiga tujuan. Pertama, mengenal pasti konsep bebas nilai dalam penyelidikan. Kedua, meneliti skop ekonomi politik Islam. Ketiga, menganalisis kerelevanan konsep bebas nilai dari perspektif penyelidikan ekonomi politik Islam. Dengan menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan, makalah ini menemukan dua dapatan penting. Pertama, konsep bebas nilai yang diperkenalkan oleh Max Weber ini mempunyai hubung kait dengan situasi Perang Dunia Pertama yang berlaku di Eropah. Kedua, terdapat dua asas bebas nilai yang perlu ditakrifkan semula untuk melakukan penyelidikan ekonomi politik Islam iaitu pertimbangan nilai yang berasaskan epistemologi Islam, dan nilai kebenaran ilmu dan objektiviti.

Penyelidikan Berteraskan Nilai dalam Pandangan Ahli Sains Muslim Silam
Authors: Alias Mohd Syahmir
Published: July 2020

Through the introduction of value-free research concept in the 19th century by Western scholars, researchers both in the field of natural sciences and social sciences generally focus on the matter of facts without taking into consideration the issues of value arising from their research. Based on this statement, an important value-based research concept must be created by looking at the view of scholars before the rise of Western research activities. Therefore, this paper generally aims to identify the values that should exist in research. Specifically, this paper analyzes the views of previous Muslim scientists to formulate a value-based research concept. In order to do this, this paper takes into account the views of previous Muslim scientists such as Averroes and Alhazen through document study by the collecting the data from their works. Then, it is analyzed using a content analysis method. As a result, this paper found that the values inherent in the research of previous Muslim scientists such as acknowledgement of God’s oneness, justice, truthfulness, and sincerity do not directly affect their research activities, which deviates from scientific facts. In fact, these values give them the impact to commit hardly in achieving the truth.

Keywords: Research; value; truthfulness; justice; Islamic thought

ABSTRAK: Melalui pengenalan konsep penyelidikan bebas nilai pada abad ke-19 oleh sarjana Barat sama ada dalam bidang sains tabii mahupun sains sosial, para penyelidik secara umumnya hanya menumpukan kepada kebenaran fakta tanpa mengambil kira isu-isu nilai yang timbul hasil daripada penyelidikan mereka. Berdasarkan pernyataan ini, suatu konsep penyelidikan berteraskan nilai dilihat penting diwujudkan dengan melihat pandangan-pandangan sarjana sebelum kebangkitan aktiviti penyelidikan di Barat. Oleh itu, makalah ini secara umum bertujuan mengenal pasti nilai-nilai yang seharusnya wujud dalam penyelidikan. Secara khusus, makalah ini menganalisis pandangan ahli-ahli sains Muslim silam untuk merumuskan suatu konsep penyelidikan berteraskan nilai. Bagi melaksanakannya, makalah ini mengambil kira pandangan ahli-ahli sains Muslim silam seperti Ibn Rushd dan Ibn al-Haytham melalui kajian dokumen yang dilakukan dengan pemerolehan data daripada karya-karya mereka. Ia kemudiannya dianalisis menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan. Hasilnya, makalah ini mendapati nilai-nilai yang wujud dalam penyelidikan ahli-ahli sains Muslim silam seperti nilai ketauhidan, keadilan, kejujuran, dan keikhlasan tidak langsung menjejaskan aktiviti penyelidikan mereka kepada penyelidikan yang menyimpang daripada fakta yang saintifik. Malah, nilai-nilai ini memberi impak untuk mereka lebih komited menggapai kebenaran.

Dinamika Budaya Politik Melayu dalam Pilihan Raya Tahun 1999- 2018: Terhentinya Dominasi BN di Terengganu
Authors: Abdullah Ilyas , Mohd Ngah Nurul Saadatun Nadiah
Published: July 2020

Terengganu Malay community’s response on the non-dominant political party other than UMNO and PAS are less encouraging. This can be seen based on the results of elections held in Terengganu. Even though other parties like Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) also participated and won several seats in elections in Terengganu, the support on the party is still inconsistent compared to UMNO and PAS. This is because the Malay community in Terengganu is not bound by any influential political party in determining their future. This type of political culture plays an important role towards the dynamics of Malay political culture in Terengganu from 1999 until the year 2018.Keywords: Political Culture & Malay Political Culture

Abstrak: Sambutan masyarakat Melayu Terengganu terhadap parti politik bukan dominan selain BN dan PAS adalah kurang menggalakkan. Hal ini dapat dilihat berdasarkan keputusan pilihan raya yang diadakan di Terengganu. Meskipun parti-parti lain seperti Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) turut terlibat dan memenangi beberapa kerusi dalam pilihan raya di Terengganu, namun sokongan yang diberikan ke atas parti tersebut tidak konsisten sepertimana sokongan yang diberikan kepada parti BN dan PAS. Hal ini kerana masyarakat Melayu di Terengganu tidak terikat dengan dengan mana-mana parti politik dalam menentukan masa depan mereka selain tidak terikat dengan sebarang parti politik atau individu yang dikatakan berpengaruh. Budaya politik tersebut memainkan peranan yang penting terhadap dinamika budaya politik Melayu di Terengganu dari tahun 1999 sehingga tahun 2018.Kata kunci: Budaya Politik, Budaya Politik Melayu
The Translation of Istiʻarah to Metaphor in Previous Studies

Published: July 2020

Penggunaan gaya bahasa isti’arah sering dirujuk sebagai metafora dalam retorik bahasa Melayu. Meskipun begitu, terdapat beberapa penelitian yang memperlihatkan gaya bahasa metafora, personifikasi, depersonifikasi dan hiperbola dalam terjemahan isti’arah. Oleh yang demikian, kajian ini dijalankan untuk membincangkan penterjemahan isti’arah dari bahasa Arab ke bahasa Melayu dalam kajian-kajian lepas, menganalisis ciri-ciri perbezaan antara isti’arah dengan metafora yang terdapat dalam kajian-kajian lepas, serta mengesan kecenderungan sarjana menterjemahkan istilah isti’arah dari bahasa Arab ke dalam bahasa Melayu. Kajian ini merupakan kajian kualitatif dengan menggunakan kaedah analisis teks kandungan terhadap buku, tesis, disertasi, artikel jurnal, makalah dalam prosiding dan sebagainya dalam proses pengumpulan data. Data-data yang dikumpul kemudian dianalisis secara deskriptif dengan menggabungkan beberapa pandangan dan dapatan kajian-kajian lepas bagi menghasilkan satu gambaran yang komprehensif berkaitan penterjemahan isti’arah. Hasil kajian mendapati isti’arah tasrihiyyah mempunyai unsur metafora manakala isti’arah makniyyah mempunyai unsur personifikasi dan depersonifikasi. Isti’arah secara umumnya dirujuk sebagai metafora kerana gaya bahasa personifikasi dan depersonifikasi juga merupakan sebahagian daripada metafora. Penggeneralisasian metafora kepada isti’arah adalah wajar dan sesuai kerana kedua-duanya membandingkan sesuatu dengan sesuatu yang lain.

Published: July 2020

The prevalence of cyberbullying cases has been increasing over the years and it causes detrimental effects on one's mental health and psychological well-being. This cross-sectional research aims to determine the significant relationship between proactive aggression, reactive aggression and self-esteem on cyberbullying among undergraduates in Malaysia. 255 participants were recruited through purposive sampling. Questionnaires were distributed online via social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Twitter. Three validated and reliable self-report measures were used to gather responses for this including Reactive-Proactive Aggression Questionnaire (RPQ), Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (RSES) and Cyberbullying Test (CT). RPQ consists of 23 items followed by RSES with 10 items and lastly, CT consists of 45 items. All measures yielded a high reliability ranging from .84 to .95. The present study has found that proactive and reactive aggressions have a significant positive relationship with cyberbullying perpetration. However, proactive aggression has a stronger relationship as compared to reactive ones.  Those with high proactive aggressions tend to involve more in cyberbullying as compared to reactive aggression. Moreover, it also found a negative but non-significant relationship between self-esteem and cyberbullying perpetration among undergraduates in Malaysia. It shows that those with high self-esteem tend to be cyberbullying victims but not perpetrators due to their frequent usage of social media. This study implies that it could be useful to tackle those involved in proactive aggressions as compared to reactive aggression and those with high self-esteem. Healthy ways to channel proactive aggression in which perpetrator seeks reward or dominance should be identified rather than focusing on those who reacts aggressively to a threat or provocation.

Monografia pt. "Zrozumiałość, przejrzystość i efektywność indywidualnych produktów emerytalnych w Polsce" jest dziełem naukowym ujmującym w sposób kompleksowy zagadnienia rozwoju indywidualnych produktów emerytalnych, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem oceny zrozumiałości ich konstrukcji, przejrzystości mechanizmów ich funkcjonowania i opłacalności tych produktów dla uczestników rynku emerytalnego. […] Choć zawarte w niej rozważania mają niekiedy charakter polemiczny wobec niektórych stanowisk w literaturze przedmiotu, to są one doniosłym głosem w dyskusji naukowej i ważną inspiracją nowych poszukiwań badawczych, a ze względu na interdyscyplinarność tych rozważań mają znaczenie twórcze i kreujące nie tylko w dziedzinie nauk społecznych i nie tylko w dyscyplinie ekonomia i finanse. Zalety recenzowanej monografii naukowej opartej na rzetelnych badaniach zapewniają jej godną uwagi wartość teoretyczną, metodologiczną i aplikacyjną. […] Treści prezentowane w książce będą bardzo pożyteczną lekturą dla szerokiego grona Czytelników, zarówno tych wywodzących się ze środowiska akademickiego, jak i dla tych wywodzących się z rynku”. Z recenzji prof. dr hab. Ireny Jędrzejczyk Monografia pt. "Zrozumiałość, przejrzystość i efektywność indywidualnych produktów emerytalnych w Polsce" stanowi interesujące studium do trwającej wśród ekonomistów dyskusji na temat sposobów zwiększenia zainteresowania Polaków dodatkowym oszczędzaniem na zabezpieczenie starości. Przygotowana została z głęboką znajomością przedmiotu badań, którym są indywidualne produkty emerytalne. Stąd wysoko oceniam wybór tematyki prowadzonych badań i analiz. Indywidualne produkty emerytalne – ich zrozumiałość, przejrzystość i efektywność, jak dotychczas nie doczekały się w polskiej ekonomicznej literaturze przedmiotu tak holistycznie ujmowanego opracowania. Wnioski uzyskane z pogłębionych badań prezentowane w tej monografii stanowić mogą niewątpliwie nie tylko podstawę modyfikacji strategii instytucji finansowych, ale także dostarczać wskazówek kreatorom polityki społecznej”.

Chanchadas and intermediality
Authors: Cesarino Costa Flávia , Gibbs John
Published: July 2020

This audiovisual essay investigates the intermedial nature of Brazilian film comedies produced during the 1940s and 50s by exploring the musical numbers of Aviso aos navegantes (Calling All Sailors, Watson Macedo, 1950). Brazilian cinema of this period is a privileged arena of different media strategies. Its “mixed” style is informed by Hollywood cinema but also by the domestic influence of radio, Carnival, and by the local forms of comic staging of the teatro de revista (the Brazilian equivalent of music hall or vaudeville). Of particular interest in this regard are the chanchadas, a body of films made between the mid-1930s and the early 1960s, that presented musical performances intertwined with comic situations, slender narrative lines and strong connections with the world of Carnival. Our aim is to show how the relationships between the different forms of cultural production in 1950s Brazil can be identified in a specific chanchada, opening a dialogue between musical performances on stage, over the radio, at Carnival and on screen. The essay also examines similarities and differences between chanchadas and the Hollywood musical comedy tradition. One area explored is integration, both in the sense in which it is often used in film studies, to discuss the relationship between the numbers and the narrative, and in reflecting on whether the different elements which feed into the numbers of Aviso aos navegantes are seamlessly combined in the film. Despite the huge popular success of his films, Watson Macedo was considered by many as the most “Americanised” of the directors of that period, adhering less to the critical mechanisms of parody than was the case with his contemporaries. However, if we pay attention to Macedo’s musical numbers, it is evident that these performances are not imperfect copies of Hollywood originals, but have a logic of their own. This audiovisual essay complements Flávia Cesarino Costa’s other contribution to this issue of Alphaville, the article “Building an Integrated History of Musical Numbers in Brazilian Chanchadas”, by exploring related ideas in the context of a single film. As well as the interest of the video essay’s own exploration and argument, the pairing of essays—traditional and videographic—enables readers of this issue to pursue their thinking about chanchadas and intermediality with specific audiovisual material in front of them
Background musicians and their (in)visibilities
Authors: Reck Miranda Suzana
Published: July 2020

This article focuses on the career of Brazilian tambourine player Russo do Pandeiro, who participated as a background musician in musical numbers of Brazilian and Hollywood films from the 1930s to the 1950s, yet his work remains mostly uncredited. Although these background musicians consistently appear throughout the films in which they starred, they still constitute a largely unexplored object of research. I aim to revive this Brazilian tambourine player from a marginalised setting and invest in an understanding of his contribution to cinema through an intermedial perspective rather than privilege films as exclusive objects of reflection. My hypothesis for this intermedial approach will argue that the trajectory of Brazilian supporting musicians, if observed closely, reveals significant and previously unexplored aspects of the Brazilian cinematographic universe in the first decades of sound cinema.
Documentary shooting and samba
Authors: Elduque Albert
Published: July 2020

This article addresses the film Partido alto (Leon Hirszman, 1976­–1982), a Brazilian music documentary that showcases two sessions of partido-alto, a traditional, improvisation-based genre. The film highlights a separation between the diegetic music world, which is based on improvisation, and the technical approach to register it. First, it foregrounds the process of recording popular music through the noticeable presence of a microphone that strives to follow each singer’s unpredictable interventions. Then, the young professional singer Paulinho da Viola joins in on the performance with nonprofessional singers, working as a mediator between the official music scene and popular traditions. I suggest that, by using cameras and microphones to approximate a popular, nonrecorded form of art, the film raises some crucial issues in the history of samba. In particular, the ways in which cinematic techniques such as the sequence shot and voiceover are employed in the film allows us to reflect on the dichotomy between improvisation and recording, as well as the role of cultural mediators. Paulinho da Viola lies at the centre of these strategies, for he assumes an expert commentator and interviewer role, while also being a participant in the popular community.
Vincent Moon in(-between) Brazil
Authors: Araújo de Siqueira Matheus
Published: July 2020

This article discusses how films by Vincent Moon which feature Brazilian musicians illustrate and expand on the notion of in-betweenness in intermediality. At the core of his work is a shift from an optical to an aural approach in filmmaking in which the director becomes more akin to someone who improvises together with the singer and, by doing so, takes the performance into an unpredictable zone. Central to this objective is a method on how to balance the in-between meaning and chaos. Finally, the article questions if such an approach connects to Ágnes Pethő’s remapping of intermedial studies.
Samba beyond the parade
Authors: da Viola Paulinho
Published: July 2020

In this interview, singer and songwriter Paulinho da Viola comments on the documentary Partido alto (1976–1982) and his friendship with director Leon Hirszman. He also describes the origins of partido-alto as a variety of samba, the transformations of samba schools in the 1960s and 70s and his relationship with audiovisual media during this time period, including the music documentary Saravah (Pierre Barouh, 1972) and televised music festivals. A crucial figure in the history of samba, Paulinho da Viola was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1942. As a son of a middle-class choro guitar player, he soon became interested in the samba that was played in the slums, most notably Samba School Portela in the Rio de Janeiro neighbourhood of Oswaldo Cruz. Paulinho’s career, which started in the 1960s and continues today, combines a plethora of vital song releases such as “Foi um rio que passou em minha vida” (“A River Broke into My Life”, 1970) and “Dança da solidão” (“The Dance of Loneliness”, 1972) that helped rejuvenate samba, with a political stance that vindicates the roots of this music genre as a popular community practice. In line with his political beliefs, in 1970 Paulinho used his popularity to endorse the first album by Velha Guarda da Portela, a band of senior singer-songwriters who had been marginalised by the music industry. In the mid-1970s, Paulinho became increasingly critical with the gradual commodification of samba and Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, to the point of breaking up with Portela Samba School when traditional composers, such as those from Velha Guarda, were ignored by the directorship. His involvement with Hirszman’s Partido alto was strongly attuned with that moment in his career, because partido-alto contains a variety of archaic, improvised samba that contrasts with commercial, commodified practices. He worked as a consultant, interviewer and narrator for that film, as well as a performer, alongside his admired colleagues from Velha Guarda da Portela.
Programming Brazilian music for a global film audience
Authors: Pascual Cristian
Published: July 2020

Music is one of the most cherished topics in Brazilian documentary filmmaking. Vinicius (Miguel Faria Jr., 2005), Raul: O início, o fim e o meio (Raul: The Beginning, the End and the Middle, Walter Carvalho, 2012) and Chico: Artista brasileiro (Chico: Brazilian Artist, Miguel Faria Jr., 2015) feature among the most successful Brazilian documentaries from the last twenty years, which makes clear their appeal to national audiences. However, to better articulate their significance it is also crucial to understand them from an international context. The In-Edit – International Music Documentary Film Festival, an event solely devoted to the screening and discussion of music documentaries, allows us to do so. First organised in Barcelona in 2003 and swiftly exported and adapted in multiple countries, the current In-Edit occurs annually in Chile, Brazil, Greece and the Netherlands. Throughout the years, it has also been celebrated in Argentina, Mexico, Germany, Colombia and Peru.
In-Edit Brasil was first organised in São Paulo in 2009 and showcases a wide variety of music documentaries both from Brazil and abroad. At the same time, some Brazilian music documentaries are screened in other In-Edits, such as Chile and Spain. In effect, In-Edit organisers hold a privileged perspective on the role that Brazilian music and Brazilian music documentaries play within the international scene.
Cristian Pascual (Barcelona, 1980) was the director of In-Edit Barcelona from 2007 to 2019, and he is still part of the organising committee. We met him in São Paulo in 2017, and he provided us with a programmer’s view of music documentaries from all over the world. Despite how political events have altered the country’s international influence in global politics (most notably Jair Bolsonaro taking over as president at the beginning of 2019), we believe that Pascual’s views present a rich reflection on Brazilian specificities regarding the production and reception of music documentaries today.

The recruitment of neutrophils from the microvasculature to the site of injury or infection represents a key event in the inflammatory response. Vitronectin (VN) is a multifunctional macromolecule abundantly present in blood and extracellular matrix. The role of this glycoprotein in the extravasation process of circulating neutrophils remains elusive. Employing advanced in vivo/ex vivo imaging techniques in different mouse models as well as in vitro methods, we uncovered a previously unrecognized function of VN in the transition of dynamic to static intravascular interactions of neutrophils with microvascular endothelial cells. These distinct properties of VN require the heteromerization of this glycoprotein with plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI- 1) on the activated venular endothelium and subsequent interactions of this protein complex with the scavenger receptor low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-1 on intravascularly adhering neutrophils. This induces p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases-dependent intracellular signaling events which, in turn, regulates the proper clustering of the b2 integrin lymphocyte function associated antigen-1 on the surface of these immune cells. As a consequence of this molecular interplay, neutrophils become able to stabilize their adhesion to the microvascular endothelium and, subsequently, to extravasate to the perivascular tissue. Hence, endothelial-bound VN-PAI-1 heteromers stabilize intravascular adhesion of neutrophils by coordinating b2 integrin clustering on the surface of these immune cells, thereby effectively controlling neutrophil trafficking to inflamed tissue. Targeting this protein complex might be beneficial for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory pathologies.

The correct identity and occurrence of the introduced armored catfish, locally known as “devil fish” or “pleco” in the Dominican Republic, is briefly described. Specimens were collected from six sites in the Dominican Republic. Several meristic and morphometric characters, as well as other external features including coloration, were examined. Results were compared with existing literature on fishes of the family Loricariidae. Examination revealed that specimens of the armored catfish, unofficially reported as Hypostomus plecostomus, actually belongs to the species Pterygoplichthys pardalis (Castelnau, 1855). It is inferred that this fish is established in Dominican inland waters, also the possibe occurrence of more than one species of Pterygoplichthys is discussed. This is the first report of this invasive species in the island of Hispaniola.

Los mosquitos, constituyen uno de los grupos de mayor importancia médica por su papel preponderante en la transmisión de enfermedades al hombre y a los animales. La búsqueda incesante de nuevas formas de control, es de vital importancia para los programas integrados de plagas. Las plantas, por sus antecedentes en el combate de insectos, constituyen una alternativa viable a estudiar. El objetivo que este trabajo se propuso fue evaluar la actividad insecticida de los aceites esenciales de Piper aduncum subsp. ossanum, y Ocimum basilicum sobre Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762), Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus (Skuse, 1894) y Culex (Culex) quinquefasciatus Say, 1823. Se evaluó la actividad larvicida y adulticida, siguiendo metodologías estandarizadas. Todos los aceites evaluados evidenciaron una significativa actividad larvicida en las poblaciones de mosquitos estudiadas. Las concentraciones letales medias calculadas fueron inferiores a 100 mg/L. Los aceites evaluados presentaron actividad adulticida utilizando botellas y papeles impregnados, las concentraciones que favorecieron el 100 % de derribo de los individuos expuestos a los 30 minutos, oscilaron entre 10 y 60 mg/mL. Los resultados obtenidos con ambos aceites esenciales son los primeros reportes sobre estas tres especies de mosquitos en la región de las Américas incluyendo el Caribe. Se evidencia que los aceites esenciales evaluados pueden ser considerados candidatos promisorios para el control de mosquitos de importancia médica.
