The Listener: The changing discourse of radio criticism
Authors: Rixon Paul
Published: January 2023

This article explores how The Listener, a journal launched in 1929 by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), established itself as a site for serious radio criticism in the United Kingdom. However, such coverage did not appear fully formed, but developed and changed over time, depending on the critic(s) and the industrial and cultural contexts within which they worked. By looking at coverage from three periods – the mid-1930s, mid-1950s and mid-1970s – I propose that there have been different distinct phases taken by the radio criticism found within its pages. One important factor shaping the form taken has been the question of intermediality that, in this case, existed between radio and the printed form. Namely, the problem of developing a means of reviewing and critiquing an aural form within a printed medium dominated by traditional visual and literary criticism. Such an insight and understanding, of the way the radio discourse changed over time in The Listener, is vital as this journal has become, especially with its digitalization, an increasingly important resource for scholars working in the field of broadcasting.

Analise da influência das obras em chinês de Matteo Ricci nos letrados chineses
Authors: Zhang Minfen
Published: January 2023

Durante  quase três dezenas de anos na China, Matteo Ricci escreveu muitos livros em chinês e trabalhou com letrados chineses na tradução de livros ocidentais para o chinês. Essas obras eram parte da sua estratégia missionária de acomodação cultural, e criaram condições para a sua missão evangélica na China. Ao mesmo tempo, tanto o conteúdo como o estilo e linguagem dos livros seguiam de perto a psicologia dos letrados chineses da época, que foram redigidos de acordo com os gostos e estilos chineses, sendo assim apreciados pelo meio académico chinês conquistando a sua amizade e respeito.

As obras de Ricci não são apenas uma “ponte” para os ocidentais compreenderem a China, mas também para os chineses compreenderem a Europa, podendo-se dizer que são o produto do encontro e interação das culturas chinesa e ocidental.

O presente texto pretende apresentar, de uma maneira mais completa possível, as suas obras em chinês, incluindo os escritos e traduções, no sentido de revisitar os seus contributos para a divulgação do Cristianismo e do saber europeu para a China, assim como as influências profundas trazidas para a sociedade chinesa.
A Conspiração de Suart. Entre Roma, Lisboa e Mesopotâmia
Authors: Vitor Ribeiro António
Published: January 2023

Nos finais do século XVII as crescentes tensões entre potências europeias começaram a tornar evidente que o nacionalismo nascente se estava a tornar um obstáculo ao processo de evangelização dos territórios ultramarinos. Consequentemente, a Propaganda Fide gizou um projeto de controlo da costa do Malabar, onde residia, havia séculos, a mais antiga comunidade cristã da Índia, aproveitando o facto de esse território ter sido perdido pelos portugueses para uma potência protestante, a Holanda. Este artigo procura reconstituir, a partir de um conjunto de documentos deixados pelo bispo de Cochim, D. Fr. Pedro Pacheco, esse processo desenvolvido pela Propaganda, através de contactos com a Áustria católica, a Holanda protestante, e a Rússia ortodoxa, visando afastar quaisquer pretensões portuguesas sobre esse território. Paradoxalmente, a perda de controlo por parte de um país católico para um rival protestante, fez surgir uma oportunidade para Roma poder tomar nas mãos a evangelização do sul indiano.
João Rodrigues Covette, o vigário-geral do Maranhão
Authors: Gouveia Mendonça Muniz Pollyanna
Published: January 2023

Quase nada se sabe sobre as carreiras dos vigários-gerais aos quais competiam toda a administração da justiça nos auditórios eclesiásticos. A raridade de acervos desses tribunais não permite observar a atuação desses oficiais tão importantes para a Justiça Eclesiástica, especialmente no Ultramar, onde as vacâncias nas dioceses eram comuns e onde muitos desses agentes acumularam as funções de provisores e governadores dos bispados. O objetivo desta investigação é analisar a carreira eclesiástica e a atuação em diversos seguimentos da vida da diocese de um vigário-geral cuja documentação é abundante. O caso de João Rodrigues Covette, vigário-geral da diocese do Maranhão, ainda que com intervalos de 1734 até 1771, ajuda a clarificar em perspectiva conectada o funcionamento da justiça eclesiástica no ultramar, mesmo na ausência dos bispos.
A conquista espiritual dos sertões
Authors: Nunes Araújo Pedrina , Gouveia Mendonça Muniz Pollyanna
Published: January 2023

Este artigo examina o processo de expansão da Igreja Católica pelos sertões orientais do bispado do Maranhão, território da Amazônia portuguesa, no século XVIII. O objetivo é explicar as conexões entre a conquista espiritual do território, a expansão populacional e a dinamização da região. Dar-se-á ênfase ao governo espiritual de d. fr. Manuel da Cruz que, com ordens expressas da Coroa, realizou a consolidação da anexação da capitania do Piauí ao bispado do Maranhão. A expansão para leste do bispado foi parte de um processo complexo de controle do território pela coroa portuguesa e que envolveu a “conquista dos índios” pelos agentes reais e a “conquista espiritual” pelos agentes da Igreja comandados pelo bispo do Maranhão.
Is Life Cycle Analysis Useful For Lichens?
Authors: Cameron Robert
Published: January 2023

Life cycle analysis has proven a useful method for identifying bottlenecks or critical life stages for animals and to a lesser extent for plants. To determine if life cycle analysis would be useful for endangered Boreal Felt Lichen (
Erioderma pedicellatum), elasticity analysis and a modified Systematic Hazard Analysis of Rare-endangered Plants (SHARP) procedure was used for this lichen species in Nova Scotia, Canada. Both elasticity and SHARP suggest that juvenile recruitment and survival is a critical life stage. So little is known about symbiosis in lichens it is not possible to determine if this is a critical life stage.
Land Use Land Cover Change and Urban Heat Island in Kathmandu Valley
Authors: Pathak Lalit , Khadka Udhab Raj
Published: January 2023

The growth of urban areas has significant impact on land use/cover by replacing areas of vegetation with residential and commercial areas and their related infrastructure. This brings fluctuation in weather and climate at local scale, generally escalates the land surface temperature (LST). Significant increase in temperature due to human activities in urban areas than its surrounding is known as Urban Heat Island (UHI), which is reflected by increased Land Surface Temperature. Rapid urban growth has occurred in Kathmandu Valley due to enhanced political and economic growth in last few decades. This study aims to examine the effect of land use/cover changes on LST. Landsat images (Landsat 7-ETM+ and Landsat OLI_TIRS-8) of 2005 and 2019 were used for analysis. Land use/cover categories were classified using supervised classification by taking several samples of pixels and to generate the land surface temperature (LST) thermal bands were used. Different indices, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), normalized difference built-up index (NDBI), normalized difference bareness index (NDBaI) and normalized difference water index (NDWI) were also computed and used in classification of study area. The relationship between LST with NDVI and NDBI was analyzed using linear regression using Saga GIS. The study results reveal that the changes in land use/cover have a significant role in the acceleration of LST. The highest temperatures are associated with built-up areas, ranging from 27°C and 31°C while lower temperatures are related to forests, ranging from 15°C to 22°C, respectively, in 2005 and 2019. This study also proves that NDVI correlate negatively with LST while NDBI correlate positively; indicating the change in land use/cover from forest to urban increases the LST.
Ebanking - measuring attributes of banking new technologies adoption in developing economy countries
Authors: De Jager Johan W. , Ayikwa Lutete C. , Wannenburg Elizma M.
Published: January 2023

This study intended to develop, explore and validate a new measurement scale for the attributes of eBanking adoption dedicated to developing economy countries. It gathered items from previously validated instruments underlying eight banking customers' characteristics, performance expectations, effort expectations, perceived ease of use, social influence, perceived digital banking services quality, hedonic motivation and customer experience to form the initial measurement scale. Once, data was collected using convenience sampling, they were analysed through factor analysis procedures. At the exploratory phase, five components were retained and while four have been labelled according to some initial dimensions, one was renamed "perceived performance of digital banking". Furthermore, one item was removed from each reorganised component to increase internal consistency. At confirmatory factor stage, all remaining items were allowed to be incorporated in the final measurement scale, though, reaching an overall good fit model index necessitated the technique of correlating error terms for two measurement models: perceived performance of digital banking and social influence. Recommendations were made to extend the study kind investigation to gather data from much more developing economy countries as well as integrating other components that were not considered.
How analytics is driving the supply chain innovation in North America
Authors: Rao Aryamanna Mathili , Rothstein Michael Arnel
Published: January 2023

With big data analytics becoming more popular, academics have been wondering how they can adapt to the changes in competitive strategies that these solutions bring. This analysis, using the resource-based perspective, capabilities and also the most recent literature on big data analytics, examines the indirect connection between a big data analytics capability and two types of development capabilities, incremental and radical. The study extends existing research by proposing that BDACs enable companies to produce insight that could help strengthen dynamic capabilities that positively influence incremental innovation capabilities and radical. To test the hypothesis we proposed, we utilized survey data from 185 chief executives and managers operating in Italian companies. The outcomes of partial least squares structural equation modeling confirm our assumptions about the indirect effect that BDACs have on development capabilities. In particular, we find out that dynamic abilities completely mediate the outcome on both incremental and radical innovation capabilities. Furthermore, under conditions of higher environmentally friendly heterogeneity, the effect of BDACs on powerful features and in sequence is improved incremental innovation ability, while under conditions of higher eco-friendly dynamism, the effect of powerful abilities on incremental innovation abilities is increased.
STABILITY DETERIORATION OF CLIFF FACES DUE TO HISTORICAL MINING IN THE ELBE SANDSTONES PROTECTED AREA
Authors: Vařilová Zuzana , Podroužek Kamil , Belisová Natálie , Horák Jan
Published: January 2023

The paper presents partial results of the expert cooperation between geologists and historians in the Bohemian Switzerland (Elbe Sandstones) area focused on mapping and documentation of old quarries and mining pits. More than three thousand abandoned quarries for building stone were newly mapped and registered within the study area. Attention was given not only to the preserved relics after mining and their historical context: methods of stone extraction were also described, and the current state of quarries and mining areas was documented. Many of them represent unstable quarry faces prone to rockfall. Catastrophic events have already occurred in some quarries, and some localities had to be technically secured by stabilizing works recently. One of the aims was therefore to create an inventory map of risk related to old quarries and the assessment of the present-day degree of instability. Fresh rockfalls from 2021/2022 were also registered. Three-dimensional models of selected quarry faces were created using modern technology including calculation of cubic capacity of excavated material and collapsed masses. The complete results are included in the map geodatabase, which is under construction.
RESEARCH ON TRANSPORTATION SAFETY OF PREFABRICATED BUILDING COMPONENTS
Authors: Li Meng , Guo Zheng
Published: January 2023

Aiming at the safety problem of the transportation of prefabricated components in prefabricated buildings, set pair analysis (SPA) and Pareto analysis (ABC) are used to propose a transportation safety evaluation model for prefabricated components in prefabricated buildings based on SPA-ABC. Based on the existing research results, the risk factors in the three stages of transportation preparation, transportation work and storage work are sorted out, and the evaluation index system of transportation safety is established. Combining the status quo of transportation operations, SPA is used to determine the index weights. Based on the ABC theory, risk factors are divided into major risk factors (type A), secondary risk factors (type B) and general risk factors (type C), and recommendations are made based on the major risk factors. The results show that ten risk indicators such as transportation operators, transportation plans, and fixing measures for prefabricated components are type A risk factors, which are the focus of prefabricated construction transportation operations.

Contexto: El modelado de baterías es una actividad que puede ser compleja si se utilizan técnicas basadas en el comportamiento químico, para facilitar esto se han utilizado estrategias de modelo inverso que se basan en curvas experimentales y ajustes de modelos circuitales. Para la parametrización se utilizan diferentes técnicas que radican en su complejidad, exactitud y tiempo de convergencia.
Método: En este trabajo se utiliza un algoritmo de optimización por enjambre de partículas para la parametrización de un modelo de polarización dual para una celda de ion litio de tipo 18650. La metodología propuesta divide el problema en diferentes casos de optimización y propone una estrategia de búsqueda localizada basada en la experiencia del caso anterior.
Resultados: El algoritmo PSO permite ajustar los parámetros del modelo para cada uno de los casos analizados. La división del problema por casos permite mejorar la precisión global del problema y a su vez disminuir los tiempos de convergencia del algoritmo. A partir de los posibles casos se puede encontrar la dinámica de cada uno de los parámetros en función del estado de carga.
Conclusiones: La metodología propuesta permite reducir los tiempos de parametrización del modelo de polarización dual. Debido a la aproximación generada por las experiencias anteriores, es posible disminuir el número de la población del enjambre y disminuir aún más el tiempo de convergencia del proceso. Adicionalmente, la metodología puede ser utilizada con diferentes algoritmos de optimización.

Published: January 2023

Context: Timber construction is not among the most popular options due to cultural issues in Brazil. Timber housing standards and costs remain uncertain subjects, and this study seeks to investigate these secular gaps.Method: Basic unitary costs for different finishing standards and production types were measured through face-to-face interviews led by a semi-structured questionnaire. A margin of error was used to validate all results. Entrepreneurs from six Brazilian states were randomly interviewed to obtain a representative sample.Results: The sampling exceeded 50% of the sector population and provided significant outcomes. More than 40% of timber housing techniques showed competitive costs in comparison with masonry. There are feasible alternatives of timber housing for the different scenarios analyzed.Conclusions: Timber houses are economically viable in Brazil, even compared to traditional examples built via masonry. Attractive costs for all social classes symbolize a strong factor in conquering housing markets.

Published: January 2023

Background: A thoroughly standardized nurse bedside shift report, including effective communication, may improve nurses’ satisfaction and patients’ safety. However, a few studies were found that measure the relationships between nurses’ attitudes and satisfaction with bedside shift reports and patient safety outcomes.Purpose: This study aimed to measure nurses’ attitudes and satisfaction with bedside shift reports and their relationships with patient safety culture.Methods: A cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted between May to August 2021 among 90 bedside nurses conveniently recruited from a public hospital in Lebanon. The Bedside Handover Report Staff Nurses’ Satisfaction Survey and the Survey on Patient Safety (SOPS) were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation and inferential statistics, i.e., Pearson correlation coefficient.Results: The results showed that satisfaction scores were high in all the questions in the bedside shift reporting. The participants showed relatively positive attitudes towards bedside shift reports where all the statements recorded above-average mean values. The highest-ranking statement “bedside shift report is completed in a reasonable time” was recorded with a mean value of 3.35 (SD=0.87), while the lowest-ranking statement was “bedside shift report is relatively stress-free” with a mean value of 2.03 (SD=0.86). There were significant relationships between nurses’ satisfaction with shift reports and some patient safety culture composites, such as between nurses’ satisfaction with bedside shift reports and communication about errors and reporting of patient safety events (p<0.05) and between nurses’ attitudes toward bedside shift reports and communication about errors (p<0.001)Conclusion: Implementation of the bedside shift report improves nurses’ levels of satisfaction, enhances positive attitudes toward work, and enhances patients' safety. Nursing leaders should encourage nurses to implement bedside handover reports in their hospitals.

Published: January 2023

Implant-associated infection is the main reasons for implant failure. Titanium and titanium alloy are currently the most widely used implant materials. However, they have limited antibacterial performance. Therefore, enhancing the antibacterial ability of implants by surface modification technology has become a trend of research. Tantalum is a potential implant coating material with good biological properties. With the development of surface modification technology, tantalum coating becomes more functional through improvement. In addition to improving osseointegration, its antibacterial performance has also become the focus of attention. In this review, we provide an overview of the latest strategies to improve tantalum antibacterial properties. We demonstrate the potential of the clinical application of tantalum in reducing implant infections by stressing its advantageous properties.
From research cohorts to the patient – a role for “omics” in diagnostics and laboratory medicine?
Authors: Vogeser Michael , Bendt Anne K.
Published: January 2023

Human pathologies are complex and might benefit from a more holistic diagnostic approach than currently practiced. Omics is a concept in biological research that aims to comprehensively characterize and quantify large numbers of biological molecules in complex samples, e.g., proteins (proteomics), low molecular weight molecules (metabolomics), glycans (glycomics) or amphiphilic molecules (lipidomics). Over the past decades, respective unbiased discovery approaches have been intensively applied to investigate functional physiological and pathophysiological relationships in various research study cohorts. In the context of clinical diagnostics, omics approaches seem to have potential in two main areas: (i) biomarker discovery i.e. identification of individual marker analytes for subsequent translation into diagnostics (as classical target analyses with conventional laboratory techniques), and (ii) the readout of complex, higher-dimensional signatures of diagnostic samples, in particular by means of spectrometric techniques in combination with biomathematical approaches of pattern recognition and artificial intelligence for diagnostic classification. Resulting diagnostic methods could potentially represent a disruptive paradigm shift away from current one-dimensional (i.e., single analyte marker based) laboratory diagnostics. The underlying hypothesis of omics approaches for diagnostics is that complex, multigenic pathologies can be more accurately diagnosed via the readout of “omics-type signatures” than with the current one-dimensional single marker diagnostic procedures. While this is indeed promising, one must realize that the clinical translation of high-dimensional analytical procedures into routine diagnostics brings completely new challenges with respect to long-term reproducibility and analytical standardization, data management, and quality assurance. In this article, the conceivable opportunities and challenges of omics-based laboratory diagnostics are discussed.
BiCAM-based automated scoring system for digital logic circuit diagrams
Authors: Öztekin Halit
Published: January 2023

In online education, it is critical for the quality of education to evaluate and grade the assignments or examinations that students upload to the system. However, it is time-consuming to determine how well the circuit drawings prepared for the digital logic course, which is a fundamental course in computer engineering and similar disciplines, are not only correct but also compatible with the truth table. Content-addressable memory (CAM), also known as associative memory, is a data storage and retrieval unit. Typically, it is used instead of the conventional memories in fast-paced and time-sensitive applications such as address lookup in Internet routers, databases, and pattern recognition. CAMs implement the search process by comparing the content itself with a key instead of finding the address like the conventional memories. To see the effect of using binary content-addressable memory-based memory on the time spent scoring hand or digital-drawn logic circuits, it is compared with various data structures commonly used in logic simulation programs. I found a significant relationship (O(1)), indicating that the proposed architecture reduces the time complexity in the search process. This expression is the same as time complexity in hash tables.
Register variation explains stylometric authorship analysis
Authors: Grieve Jack
Published: January 2023

For centuries, investigations of disputed authorship have shown that people have unique styles of writing. Given sufficient data, it is generally possible to distinguish between the writings of a small group of authors, for example, through the multivariate analysis of the relative frequencies of common function words. There is, however, no accepted explanation for why this type ofstylometricanalysis is successful. Authorship analysts often argue that authors write in subtly different dialects, but the analysis of individual words is not licensed by standard theories of sociolinguistic variation. Alternatively, stylometric analysis is consistent with standard theories of register variation. In this paper, I argue that stylometric methods work because authors write in subtly different registers. To support this claim, I present the results of parallel stylometric and multidimensional register analyses of a corpus of newspaper articles written by two columnists. I demonstrate that both analyses not only distinguish between these authors but identify the same underlying patterns of linguistic variation. I therefore propose that register variation, as opposed to dialect variation, provides a basis for explaining these differences and for explaining stylometric analyses of authorship more generally.
Leaf color attributes of urban colored-leaf plants
Authors: Yang Jie , Wang Xiu-Rong , Zhao Yang
Published: January 2023

Plant color was an important landscape of the urban green space, and quantitative analysis of its characteristics could provide a basis for plant color configuration. The leaf color attributes of 80 colored-leaf plants were studied and the Scenic Beauty Estimates (SBE) was used to evaluate their beauty. The data of leaves color were obtained by MATLAB software and scanner under the hue–saturation–brightness (HSB) system and then were further analyzed to determine the relationship between the SBE and color attributes (HSB). Results showed that the leaf colors of 80 plants contained 13 hues in total, which belonged to six color systems. The species contained in different color systems, from most to least, were yellow–green series (27 species) > orange series (19 species) > red series (18 species) > yellow series (10 species) > blue-green (four species) > purple (two species). There were fewer blue and purple series species. The brightness and saturation of color were mainly distributed in the middle (26–50%), middle and high (51–75%) stages, and those of the yellow–green system belonged to the medium and high stages and were significantly higher than other color systems. There is a significant positive correlation between the brightness and saturation of color and the value of SBE, and an SBE evaluation model was established based on the color attributes. The results are helpful to select plants with higher beauty and create a rich plant color landscape.

Published: January 2023

Objectives

Alexithymia and low health literacy are the barriers of self-management. This study aims to examine the relationship between alexithymia, health literacy and diet quality in obese adolescents, and their effects on anthropometric and biochemical markers.

Methods

The 20-item Toronto alexithymia scale (TAS-20) was used to determine the alexithymic traits of the adolescents, and “The Newest Vital Sign” (NVS) scales were used to determine their health literacy levels. Diet quality was evaluated with the Healthy Eating Index-2010 (HEI-2010).

Results

39.7% of the obese adolescents were alexithymic, and 69.4% of alexithymics and 35.1% of non-alexithymics had metabolic syndrome. Alexithymic adolescents were lack of adequate health literacy. There were positive correlations between alexithymia scores and insulin, triglyceride, systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels, and all anthropometric values except height (p<0.05). There was a negative correlation between alexithymia scores and health literacy scores (p<0.05). There were negative correlations between health literacy and alexithymia scores, insulin, total cholesterol, triglyceride, ALT, systolic, diastolic blood pressure levels and all anthropometric values except height, and positive correlation was observed between health literacy scores and diet quality (p<0.05). Total HEI score was negatively correlated with waist circumference, neck circumference, body weight, BMI, triglyceride, AST, ALT, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and positively correlated with health literacy and HDL levels (p<0.05).

Conclusions

As alexithymia severity increased in obese adolescents, the degree of obesity and the incidence of metabolic syndrome increased while the level of health literacy decreased. The increase in health literacy levels, on the other hand, decreased the level of alexithymia and increased the quality of the diet.
Aboutwhat about: the semantics and syntax of irregularwh-questions in English
Authors: Li Wenshan , Liu Jiang
Published: January 2023

Although often used as diagnostic tools in discourse studies, irregularwh-questions in English, which take the form ofwhat/how about … ?andwhat/how if … ?, have not received sufficient attention in terms of their semantic and syntactic properties. This article investigates irregularwh-questions from semantic and syntactic perspectives. Semantically, there is a topic-comment relationship between thewh-word and the rest of the sentence. Syntactically, an irregularwh-question neither displays an explicit matrix subject-predicate structure nor involves a fronted auxiliary. This article pursues three objectives. First, a descriptive overview of irregularwh-questions is provided, which shows that the complement ofaboutin irregularwh-questions can belong to various syntactic categories. Second, the topic-comment structure of irregularwh-questions is compared with that of the topic-comment structure in declarative sentences, which reveals some semantic properties of irregularwh-questions. Third, a formal account of irregularwh-questions is formulated in the framework of Dynamic Syntax, which captures the interaction of the semantic and syntactic properties of the components of an irregularwh-question. Additionally, the present dynamic account of irregularwh-questions is contrasted with an existing dynamic account of the hanging topic construction in English, which highlights some merits of the current account.

YAP antagonizes TEAD‐mediated AR signaling and prostate cancer growth
Authors: Li Xu , Zhuo Shu , Cho Yong Suk , Liu Yuchen , Yang Yingzi , Zhu Jian , Jiang Jin
Published: January 2023

Hippo signaling restricts tumor growth by inhibiting the oncogenic potential of YAP/TAZ‐TEAD transcriptional complex. Here, we uncover a context‐dependent tumor suppressor function of YAP in androgen receptor (AR) positive prostate cancer (PCa) and show that YAP impedes AR+ PCa growth by antagonizing TEAD‐mediated AR signaling. TEAD forms a complex with AR to enhance its promoter/enhancer occupancy and transcriptional activity. YAP and AR compete for TEAD binding and consequently, elevated YAP in the nucleus disrupts AR‐TEAD interaction and prevents TEAD from promoting AR signaling. Pharmacological inhibition of MST1/2 or LATS1/2, or transgenic activation of YAP suppressed the growth of PCa expressing therapy resistant AR splicing variants. Our study uncovers an unanticipated crosstalk between Hippo and AR signaling pathways, reveals an antagonistic relationship between YAP and TEAD in AR+ PCa, and suggests that targeting the Hippo signaling pathway may provide a therapeutical opportunity to treat PCa driven by therapy resistant AR variants.

The theory used to analyze is World Desecularization Theory and Patron-Client Theory. The research method used is a qualitative approach which is located in Gianyar Regency and is supported by data originating from books and journals. The results of the study found that the religious ideology of the puri had a positive relationship with the development progress of the community. Not infrequently regional development programs originate from these religious ideas. This research also explains the concept of puri political religios, in which religion in this case not only works to build an ideological ties, but more importantly religion is able to build social and economic ties for a society. This model of political religion indirectly maintains the political power of the puri in Bali.

Coincidencias entre "San Manuel Bueno, mártir" (Unamuno) y "La aldea de Romàns" (Pasolini)
Authors: MARTÍN REBECA
Published: January 2023

En este artículo vamos a abordar las similitudes entre dos obras de distintos autores del siglo XX: por un lado, San Manuel Bueno, mártir, del bilbaíno Miguel de Unamuno (1864-1936) y, por otro, La aldea de Romàns, del italiano Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975). En ambas novelas, el protagonista es un sacerdote con ciertas dudas: en el caso de Unamuno (1931), acerca de la fe y la inmortalidad; en el caso de Pasolini (1949), estas dudas están más relacionadas con la sexualidad, aunque observamos de fondo temas políticos y sociales. Ambos títulos beben, a su vez, de Il santo, de Antonio Fogazzaro (1905), novela mucho más extensa que las anteriores. Aunque sabemos que Pasolini conocía a autores españoles como Juan Ramón Jiménez o Antonio Machado, no tenemos constancia de que hubiera leído a Unamuno.

Authors: Feichas Felipe A. , Seabra Rodrigo D.
Published: January 2023

This research discusses the use of a gamified web platform for studying software modeling with Unified Modeling Language (UML). Although UML is constantly being improved and studied, many works show that there is difficulty in teaching and learning the subject, due to the complexity of its concepts and the students' cognitive difficulties with abstraction. There are challenges for instructors to find different pedagogical strategies to teach modeling. The platform proposed allowed students to complement their UML knowledge in an environment with game elements. From the results, it can be concluded that the platform obtained great acceptance and satisfaction of use. Most of the students participating in the research were satisfied with the usability of the platform, reporting a feeling of contribution of the tool to studying the content, in addition to pointing out the satisfaction of using gamification as a pedagogical strategy.
