EFEITO DE LINHAGENS COM CARACTERÍSTICAS MORFOLÓGICAS MUTANTES SOBRE O BICUDO E A PRODUÇÃO DO ALGODOEIRO
Authors: Gabriel D. , Blanco F.M.G.
Published: June 2021

RESUMO O presente trabalho objetivou avaliar linhagensde algodoeiro com características morfológicas mutantes quanto à infestação pelo bicudo Anthonomus grandis Boheman e suas produções. O experimento foi conduzido em campo, com a cultivar IAC-24 (testemunha), IAC-04/227 (planta vermelha) e IAC-04/489 (folha “okra”). A infestação foi avaliada contando os botões florais perfurados para a alimentação e oviposição do bicudo. A produção foi avaliada pelo do rendimento de algodão. A linhagem IAC-04/227 diferiu da cultivar IAC-24 e da linhagem IAC04/489 até 85 dias após a emergência das plântulas, apresentando menor porcentual de botões florais perfurados pelo bicudo. Este fato indica que a coloração vermelha das plantas é um caráter importante no manejo da resistência do algodoeiro ao bicudo. Não houve diferença significativa, entre os genótipos, para o rendimento de algodão, mas para a massa de 100 sementes, a cultivar IAC-24 diferiu da linhagem IAC-04/227, apresentando a maior média.

Published: June 2021

RESUMO Avaliou-se a patogenicidade de diversas espécies de fungos entomopatogênicos a ninfas de 2o a 4o ínstares do psilídeo Diaphorina citri. Foram feitos bioensaios com Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, Lecanicillium muscarum, L. longisporum, Paecilomyces fumosoroseus, P. farinosus, Syngliocladium sp. na concentração de 5 x 107 conídios/mL para cada patógeno, com exceção de Hirsutella thompsonii que foi aplicado na concentração de 2,8 x 107 conídios/mL. Utilizaram-se mudas de murta, Murraya paniculata, infestadas com as ninfas do inseto que foram pulverizadas com as suspensões conidiais dos patógenos. Os fungos B. bassiana, M. anisopliae, H. thompsonii, L. muscarum e P. fumosoroseus foram patogênicos para as ninfas do psilídeo. O isolado Esalq-PL63, de B. bassiana, causou mortalidade de aproximadamente 72% das ninfas, sete dias após a inoculação. Constatou-se que B. bassiananão conseguiu completar o desenvolvimento no corpo do hospedeiro, uma vez que a fase de conidiogênese não ocorreu. Mesmo assim, o isolado Esalq-PL63 pode ser considerado um promissor agente de controle microbiano de ninfas de D. citri por causar altos índices de mortalidade.

Published: June 2021

RESUMO A intoxicação de animais por praguicidas é diagnosticada por um conjunto de avaliações, entre elas, a detecção destas substâncias no próprio animal ou em amostras ambientais. Neste trabalho, verificou-se a sensibilidade do bioensaio com Drosophila melanogaster e da cromatografia em camada delgada na detecção dos praguicidas diazinon, diclorvós, alfa-cipermetrina, deltametrina, carbofuran e carbaril. No bioensaio, moscas D. melanogaster foram expostas a diferentes concentrações dos praguicidas para determinar a quantidade capaz de provocar 70% de mortalidade (CL70). Na análise por cromatografia em camada delgada, soluções dos praguicidas foram aplicadas em placas cromatográficas e tratadas com reagente de orto-toluidina para determinação da quantidade mínima detectável. Os valores de CL70 obtidos no bioensaio foram de 0,6?g.mL-1 para o diazinon, 0,14 ?g.mL-1 para o diclorvós, 1,5 ?g.mL-1 para a alfa-cipermetrina, 1,0 ?g.mL-1 para a deltametrina, 5,0 ?g.mL-1 para o carbofuran e 21.000 ?g.mL-1 para o carbaril. As quantidades mínimas detectáveis pela cromatografia em camada delgada foram 20,0 ?g.mL-1, 200 ?g.mL-1, 10,0 ?g.mL-1, 10 ?g.mL-1, 1,0 ?g.mL-1 e 0,4 ?g.mL-1 para diazinon, diclorvós, alfa-cipermetrina, deltametrina, carbofuran e carbaril, respectivamente. Embora a sensibilidade dos dois métodos na detecção dos praguicidas tenha sido bastante variável, ambos podem ser utilizados como métodos de triagem e identificação destes compostos, tendo como vantagem o baixo custo e a simplicidade de execução, podendo ser implantados em laboratórios com poucos recursos.
The hyperphagic experience in obesity: a phenomenological study of French and Brazilian contexts
Authors: BLOC Lucas , RAMALHO Juniana de Almeida Mota , MOREIRA Virginia
Published: June 2021

Abstract This article aims to understand the hyperphagic experience in the obesity of patients in the French and Brazilian contexts. Using the critical phenomenological method, twenty subjects were interviewed in health services in Paris and in Fortaleza. We note an objectification and expropriation of the body often experienced in the hyperphagic experience in obesity. We highlight the emphasis on health in the French context and on form and aesthetics in the Brazilian context. In Fortaleza, there seems to be a more evidenced discrimination in relation to obesity and a pathological discourse, whereas in Paris this pathologization is viewed from a critical position regarding the treatments. We conclude that the hyperphagic experience in obesity reveals a subject who is often lost in his/her way of being and having a body, and that clinical work must involve the re-appropriation of this body and the recovery of the condition of the autonomous subject.

Published: June 2021

ABSTRACT In the Brazilian Savanna, most of the soils have a low natural fertility. In order to overcome this limitation, farmers use large amounts of soluble fertilizers, causing environmental impacts. In the present study, finely ground biotite syenite (0; 600; 1,200; 1,800; and 2,400 kg ha-1) was evaluated as an alternative source of nutrients and electrical charges in a weathered Ferralsol from the Brazilian Savanna. Additionally, the development and nutrition of maize plants were analyzed. The values of Ca + Mg, T, t, Zn, Cu, Fe and Mn in the soil were not affected by the addition of biotite syenite, but the available P and K and the permanent charges were increased. The biotite did not increase the contents of P, Ca and Cu in the maize leaves, but it increased the contents of N and K. Increases of 103, 125 and 128 % were also detected, respectively, for plant height, stem diameter and leaf dry matter. The biotite syenite was able to increase the soil P, K and permanent charges, as well as the maize uptake of N and K, thus helping in the plant growth.

Published: June 2021

ABSTRACT Reservoirs considerably affect river streamflow and need to be accurately represented in environmental impact studies. Modeling reservoir outflow represents a challenge to hydrological studies since reservoir operations vary with flood risk, economic and demand aspects. The Brazilian Interconnected Energy System (SIN) is an example of a unique and complex system of coordinated operation composed by more than 160 large reservoirs. We proposed and evaluated an integrated approach to simulate daily outflows from most of the SIN reservoirs (138) using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model, distinguishing run-of-the-river and storage reservoirs and testing cases whether outflow and level data were available as input. Also, we investigated the influence of the proposed input features (14) on the simulated outflow, related to reservoir water balance, seasonality, and demand. As a result, we verified that the outputs of the ANN model were mainly influenced by local water balance variables, such as the reservoir inflow of the present day and outflow of the day before. However, other features such as the water level of 4 large reservoirs that represent different regions of the country, which infers about hydropower demand through water availability, seemed to influence to some extent reservoirs outflow estimates. This result indicates advantages in using an integrated approach rather than looking at each reservoir individually. In terms of data availability, it was tested scenarios with (WITH_Qout) and without (NO_Qout and SIM_Qout) observed outflow and water level as input features to the ANN model. The NO_Qout model is trained without outflow and water level while the SIM_Qout model is trained with all input features, but it is fed with simulated outflows and water levels rather than observations. These 3 ANN models were compared with two simple benchmarks: outflow is equal to the outflow of the day before (STEADY) and the outflow is equal to the inflow of the same day (INFLOW). For run-of-the-river reservoirs, an ANN model is not necessary as outflow is virtually equal to inflow. For storage reservoirs, the ANN estimates reached median Nash-Sutcliffe efficiencies (NSE) of 0.91, 0.77 and 0.68 for WITH_, NO_ and SIM_Qout respectively, compared to a median NSE of 0.81 and 0.29 for the STEADY and INFLOW benchmarks respectively. In conclusion, the ANN models presented satisfactory performances: when outflow observations are available, WITH_Qout model outperforms STEADY; otherwise, NO_Qout and SIM_Qout models outperform INFLOW.

A Comparative Study of Goldblatt's English Translation of Mo Yan's “The Republic of Wine”
Authors: Guo Hui
Published: June 2021

This article compares the original work of "The Republic of Wine" with Howard Goldblatt’s translation, and finds that Mr. Goldblatt strives to find a balance between fidelity and betrayal, and adopts more methods of transliteration and literal translation, which makes translation into a cross-cultural communication. Also, this article focuses on exploring the translator’s handling of culturally loaded words in the original work, and also provides new ideas and inspiration for Chinese-English translators. At the same time, “The Republic of Wine” is all-encompassing and contains a lot of metaphors; this paper analyzes the metaphor translation strategies in its English translation in order to provide some reference points for metaphor translation.

Published: June 2021

The fatigue life prediction of wire ropes has two main characteristics: a large test sample size and uncertain factors. In this paper, based on the small number of wire rope fatigue life data, the grey particle filter method has been used to realize the fatigue life prediction of wire rope under different load conditions. First, the GOM(1,1) model is constructed and the reliability life data of wire rope is predicted under small sample size. Then, P-S-N curve of the dangerous part is determined by combining the equivalent alternating stress of the dangerous part of the wire rope during the fatigue test. Subsequently, the particle filter method is used to modify P-S-N curve. Finally, the fatigue life prediction model of wire rope is obtained based on fatigue damage accumulation, which realized the fatigue life prediction under different load conditions, and the results were compared with that from the test. The results show that the proposed method is effective and has high accuracy in wire rope fatigue life prediction under single, combined loading conditions and small sample size.
SOCIOCULTURAL DETERMINANT OF THE SYMBOLIC VIOLENCE PHENOMENON
Authors: Boreiko Yuriі
Published: June 2021

The article analyzes the sociocultural basis of constituting the symbolic space, the content of the symbolic violence phenomenon, the cultural and symbolic potential of the toponymics objects. It is established that practices of symbolic violence consist in constructing a system of subjective coordinates by imposing rules, senses, meanings, values that become self-evident.
Symbolic space encompasses the collective consciousness of the socio-cultural community and has the ability to form a system of subjective coordinates where the individual's life activity unfolds. The intelligibility of symbolic space is conventionally established, which is provided by the process of socialization. Pursuing the goal of domination, hegemony, coercion, symbolic violence moves the real confrontation into a symbolic environment, directing the influence on the mental structures of the social subject. Giving to senses and meanings a legitimate character is a way to explain and substantiate social relations, their cognitive and normative interpretation.
Accumulating the experience of community coexistence throughout its history, habitus is a set of dispositions that motivate an individual to a certain reaction or behavior. Habitus, which generates and structures practices, combines the individual tendency of the actor to act adequately to the situation, the interaction of actors in the community, and the interaction of the community and each of its members with reality. As a historically changing phenomenon, habitus determines the nature of interactions between individuals whose communication skills are consistent with the functioning of social institutions.
An important component of the symbolic space and part of the cultural and historical discourse are the objects of toponymics, which explains the constant ideological and political interest in this segment of socio-cultural life. Objects of toponymics act as a marker of ordering social space, a tool for including the subject in socio-spatial landscapes. The renaming of toponyms demonstrates the connection between the social conditions in which it takes place and the reaction of the social relations entity to changes in the toponymic space.
SCIENCE AND RELIGION IN THE CATHOLIC DOCTRINE: COADAPTIVE TRENDS
Authors: Stadnyk Mykola
Published: June 2021

Theoretical approaches to the co-adaptation of science and religion in Catholicism are revealed. The metaphysical substantiation of the existence of the supernatural is shown. The multifaceted arguments for the defense of the idea of creation are based on references to the limited and historical underdevelopment of human practice, evidence of the presence of uncontrolled, almost undeveloped, and therefore incomprehensible phenomena of nature, society and the human psyche. A characteristic feature of theological knowledge is not systematic, but spontaneity, at their basis is the rational substantiation of the irrational. The process of cognition for Catholic theologians presupposes the dominance of faith and the silence of reason. This understanding of the process of cognition and the role of science has changed over the course of historical time. Under the influence of the growing role of science, Catholic theologians began to highlight in certain issues not only the possible combination of religion with scientific knowledge, but also to prove the beneficial influence of religion on science. In the Catholic understanding, this points to the leading role of religion in the emergence of science. At the same time, scientific knowledge strives for objective significance and maximum accuracy. The Catholic doctrine of creation not only recognizes subjectivism, but also identifies theological faith and inner experience with the criterion of truth. A comparative analysis of scientific and theological knowledge shows that their purpose, methods and criteria of knowledge are essentially opposite.

Published: June 2021

In many cases, the technology enabling the melting of thermally sprayed layers has no alternative. High-performance thermal spraying processes make it possible to obtain densely sprayed layers. However, previous research revealed that sprayed layers are characterised by porosity and numerous material imperfections. The above-named situation results from the specific manner of layer application. The article overviews induction and arc-based technologies enabling the melting of sprayed layers as well as discusses possible post-spray imperfections.

Published: June 2021

Following the 2011 moment magnitude, M 5.7 Mineral, Virginia, earthquake, we conducted a search for paleoliquefaction features and found 41 sand dikes, sand sills, and soft-sediment deformation features at 24 sites exposed in cutbanks along several rivers: (1) the South Anna River, where paleoliquefaction features were found in the epicentral area of the Mineral earthquake and farther downstream to the southeast; (2) the Mattaponi and Pamunkey Rivers east of the Fall Line, where liquefiable sediments are more common than in the epicentral area; and (3) the James River and Rivanna River–Stigger Creek, where a few sand dikes were found in the 1990s. Liquefaction features are grouped into two age categories based on dating of host sediment in which they occur and weathering characteristics of the features. A younger generation of features that formed during the past 350 yr are small, few in number, and appear to be limited to the James and Pamunkey Rivers. Though there are large uncertainties in their locations and magnitudes, one or more preinstrumental earthquakes, including the 1758, 1774, and 1875 events, likely caused these features. An older generation of liquefaction features that formed between 350 and 2800 yr ago are larger, more numerous, and more broadly distributed than the younger generation of features. Several earthquakes could account for the regional distribution of paleoliquefaction features, including one event of M 6.25–6.5 near Holly Grove, or two events of M 6.0 near Mineral and M 6.25 near Ashland. Amplification of ground motions in Coastal Plain sediment might have contributed to liquefaction along the Mattaponi and Pamunkey Rivers.
Para el texto del "Vejamen de la luna": tradición crítica, versiones y análisis de variantes
Authors: Rodríguez-Mansilla Fernando
Published: June 2021

El Vejamen de la luna de Anastasio Pantaleón de Ribera es un ejemplo notable de la producción de las academias literarias del Siglo de Oro, tanto como un testimonio de la prosa jocosa de la época y del subgénero del vejamen literario. El texto del Vejamen de la luna nos ha llegado a través de dos versiones: la del manuscrito Cuaderno de versos (con 1626 como año ante quem) y la de las Obras impresas (1631-1634) que editó Josef de Pellicer. Durante el siglo XX se solía publicar la versión impresa del vejamen, hasta que Kenneth Brown (1980) publicó el Cuaderno de versos. Desde entonces se suele trabajar con la versión manuscrita del vejamen, por considerarla más cercana a la voluntad del autor. Este trabajo se propone analizar las variantes de ambas versiones para evaluar el valor de la versión impresa, que es al fin y al cabo la que cimentó el prestigio de Pantaleón durante el XVII y en siglos posteriores.
The Role Of The Pediatric Nurse In Discharge Planning; Identifying Gaps In Sri Lanka
Authors: Subasinghe Kalpana Jeewanthi , Pathiranage A.M. Shyama Deepanie
Published: June 2021

Background: Pediatric discharge planning is a complex process, and that nurses need lengthy preparations. Role confusion among nurses will disrupt the smooth planning of the discharge. In Sri Lanka, although there is a possibility of reducing health costs through effective discharge planning led by pediatric nurses, it is questionable whether Sri Lankan nurses have clarified their role in this process.Method: This systematic review was conducted to map the different roles of nurses in the pediatric discharge planning process. Electronic databases of PubMed and CINAHL were searched for peer-reviewed journal articles among the pediatric population from 2005-2019, using the keywords such as discharge planning, pediatric nurse, care transitions, transitional care, and Sri Lankan nurse.Results: Articles that resulted in the word combination ‘Discharge planning and pediatric nursing (n=329) were used for screening. Two hundred and forty articles out of the nursing scope and sixty articles that do not describe an apparent nursing involvement in the discharge process were excluded, based on abstract review and full-text review, respectively. Sixteen studies were included in the final review. Few literature was found on the topic among Sri Lankan pediatric population. Four main categories of nurses’ roles were identified with the thematic analysis: discharge educator, discharge collaborator, post-discharge care coordinator, and family counselor. Conclusion: In Sri Lanka, no such defined roles of a nurse have been established yet in the discharge planning of pediatric patients. These roles may help nurses carry out discharge planning effectively, and future studies are needed on this topic in Sri Lanka.
Comparative Evaluation of Two Different Doses of Pre-Emptive Oral Pregabalin on Duration of Spinal Anesthesia and Postoperative Pain
Authors: Amey Panse Neha , Udaykumar Adate Kavita , Harishchandra Panchal Sachin
Published: June 2021

Background: Pregabalin provides good postoperative analgesia in nociceptive stimuli. Various studies show that preemptive oral pregabalin reduces acute postoperative pain. We conducted a study to evaluate the efficacy of two different doses of pregabalin and its effect on onset and duration of spinal anesthesia and postoperative pain.
Methods: In prospective, double-blind and randomized study, 60 patients posted for vaginal hysterectomy under spinal anesthesia were randomly allocated to two groups recieving cap. Pregabalin 75 mg (group 1) and cap pregabalin 150 mg (group 2) orally, 90 min prior to surgery. Onset and duration of motor and sensory blockade were observed. Postoperative pain was assessed by VAS for 24 hrs. Injection paracetamol 1 gm. was given intravenously as rescue analgesic. Time of first rescue analgesic and total dose of rescue analgesics was noted.
Results: Group 2 patients had better postoperative analgesia in terms of prolonged sensory and motor blockade which correlated well with the time of first request for rescue analgesia (504±123.2 min) as compared to group 1 patients (304.9±37.6 min). Also the total dose of rescue analgesic (paracetamol) was significantly less with 150mg pregabalin (p = 0.0001).
Conclusion: Pregabalin 150 mg prolongs the duration of spinal anesthesia and has better analgesic profile without significant side effects. Thus we conclude that 150 mg pregabalin given preemptively optimizes spinal anesthesia well in patients for vaginal hysterectomy.

Authors: Pourentezari Majid , Dortaj Hengameh , Hashemibeni Batool , Yadegari Maryam , Shahedi Abbas
Published: June 2021

Poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) has attracted a considerable amount of interest for biomedical application due to its biocompatibility, tailored biodegradation rate (depending on the molecular weight and copolymer ratio), approval for clinical use in humans by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the potential to change surface properties to create better interaction with biological materials and being suitable for export to countries and cultures where planting products with animals is unusable. For commercial use and research, PLGA has been widely studied to control small molecule drugs, proteins, and other macromolecules. This study aims to review the studies that used PLGA scaffolding and its composites as a scaffold and drug delivery in cartilage tissue engineering. It is concluded from the results that the PLGA scaffold as a synthetic scaffold, when combined with natural scaffolds or hybrids, strengthens its biological properties and performs its function better.

Published: June 2021

Background and Aims: An effective marker search in glioblastoma is precious in controlling and detecting the progression and monitoring of patients with glioblastoma. In this regard, the present study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic role of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), insulin-like growth factor-binding protein -2 (IGFBP-2), and chitinase-3-like protein -1 (YKL-40) tissue and plasma levels in patients with GBM.
Materials and Methods: A total of 22 patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (the fourth grade of glioma) who had undergone surgery at the Erfan Hospital were included in the current study. The levels of GFAP, IGFBP-2 were evaluated in 22 tumor tissues, and non-timorous matched adjacent tissue samples of patients with glioblastoma using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay . Besides, 22 healthy subjects with no history of glioblastoma served as controls for plasma samples. All analyses were evaluated using the SPSS version 22.0.
Results: The tissue levels of GFAP, IGFBP-2, and YKL-40 were significantly higher in patients with glioblastoma when compared to the healthy controls (p=0.001). Nevertheless, there was no significant difference in comparison to the healthy control group in the plasma samples.
Conclusions: Tissue levels of GFAP, IGFBP-2, and YKL-40 may be potential biomarkers for predicting and the progression in patients with glioblastoma.

Published: June 2021

Introduction: Motorcyclists have the highest proportion of casualty toll caused by street accidents in Iran, and they endanger themselves and others by those risky behaviors. Health and safety education will not be sufficient without knowing the causes of such behaviors. Since no studies have been carried out based on accurate statistical methods on bounded response variables for motorcyclists' high-risk behaviors in Iran, this study aimed to predict MRBQ by ADHD and the underlying predictors using the Beta Regression as an alternative strategy.
Methods: The present sectional study included 311 Motorcyclists randomly selected using a cluster sampling method in Bukan city to evaluating the relationship between the limited response MRBQ with ADHD and its subscales. We used an innovative beta regression method for the analysis and carried out unadjusted and adjusted modeling.
Results: Direct and significant relationships were observed between MRBQ score and ADHD score and its subscales, including (DSS score) (coefficients ranged over 0.01 to 0.6, All P<0.05). Additionally, the riding period (coefficients ranged over -0.32 to -0.48, P<0.05), hours of riding (coefficients ranged over: 0.31 to 0.34, P<0.05), using the helmet (coefficients: 0.26 to 0.31, P<0.05), and sub-accident (coefficients ranged over 0.35 to 0.37, P<0.05) also turned out to be significant predictors of MRBQ score.
Conclusion: ADHD score and riding parameters can be taken into account when contriving actions on the motorcycle rider behaviors as measured by MRBQ.

Published: June 2021

The quick spread of the COVID-19 pandemic across the globe has seriously affected all aspects of individuals’ lives including the educational sector. In response to this pandemic in Malaysia, the government implemented a Movement Control Order (MCO) on 18 March 2020, where the whole country was put on lockdown. Yet, the teaching and learning activities had to continue during this period, a process that was carried out through a full reliance on e-learning. This paper attempted to investigate the level of e-learning technological readiness among English language teachers to utilize e-learning in teaching during the MCO in Malaysia. A total of 68 English language teachers responded to an online cross-sectional survey that measured technological skills readiness based on Chapnick’s (2000) e-learning readiness model. Results showed that during the MCO in Malaysia, English language teachers were technologically ready to use e-learning in teaching. However, these findings contradict the latest reports that highlight a number of challenges faced by Malaysian teachers in conducting online classes. This inconsistency could be attributed to the limitations identified in the existing e-learning surveys and questionnaires that deal with extremely limited aspects of technological readiness. Hence, this research stresses the urgent need to develop up-to-date scales that can comprehensively address the various aspects of the advanced technological skills that should be mastered by teachers and educators, especially in this era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR4.0).

One of the actions taken by the Indonesian government to stop the spread of COVID19 was closing all schools and running online teaching from home. Online learning creates distance between students and teachers. This study aimed to understand students’ perceptions of online education of art, specifically senior high school students in Probolinggo regency. The research focused on investigating students’ skills and comfortability during the learning process as well as the online learning management carried out by the teachers. This study used a quantitative approach with simple statistical computation. The researcher collected the data by distributing questionnaires to students at seven state senior high schools in Probolinggo utilizing Google Forms. The data were then descriptively analyzed. From 22 respondents, it was found that 9.1% did not have a smartphone; 81.8% stated that they could understand the online teaching materials; 27.3% expressed that they were not satisfied; and 54.5% said that the online learning demotivated them to learn arts. However, 95.5% of students believed that their teachers mastered the online classroom management. Results of the study show that senior high school students in Probolinggo have had a delightful experience in learning art online. However, it then slowly demotivates them to create art even though the majority of teachers have mastered the online learning technology. Students expect more varied creativity from teachers and stakeholders to ensure that learning art is entertaining and motivates them in the era of the pandemic.

This research aimed to describe the representation of gossip displayed in the movie “Tilik” and to reveal the function of gossip. Foster’s study suggests four primary gossip functions: information, entertainment, friendship and influence. Descriptive qualitative method were used and the results were analysed using semiotic analysis by Roland Barthes. The results indicate that gossip activities in the film “Tilik” display, among other things, the function of information. This can be seen when the group that wants to meet up in the truck shared a story discussing gossip about Dian’s character. Second, the entertainment function is also seen when talking about gossip: they are listening, enjoying and laughing. Furthermore, the friendship function can be seen in the sharing norms of in-group members. Finally, the role of influence can be seen from the main character, namely Mrs. Tejo, with her body language trying to convince and lead the opinions of group members. Yu Ning’s character became an outsider because she disagreed with the sentiment. The message conveyed in this film is that people must start using technology and keep up with the changes. This film also describes the hoax phenomenon in society, where information that is conveyed is sometimes not true. So public education is needed to confirm the truth of the information circulating on social media.
