OPTIMIZATION OF THE PROCESS OF PROVIDING THE COMPANY WITH SPECIAL SHOES BASED ON DATA ON ITS ISSUANCE AND INDICATORS OF IMPRORER PLANNING
Authors: Senchenko V. A. , Kaverzneva T. T.
Published: December 2023

Timely and full provision of employees of enterprises with personal protective equipment is an important task in the occupational health and safety management system. Since the costs of large companies for the purchase of PPE amount to impressive amounts, companies seek to optimize costs by centralizing purchases and purchasing PPE at wholesale prices. As a result of centralized purchases, the purchase price of a unit of goods decreases, however, a number of problems arise when planning purchases related to the variety of anthropometric data of employees of the enterprise and the time lag for the supply of products.

This article discusses the problems and approaches to solving them when providing employees with personal protective equipment for their feet (special shoes) on the example of PJSC «RTK». The data on the issue of shoes from the warehouse for 3 years are given, reflecting the picture of the deficit and surplus of the demand for standard sizes of the shoe range at the enterprise. Attempts have been made to analyze the available data array. Possible reasons and indicators of incorrect planning (provision) of PPE are formulated. Approaches to further development of optimization of PPE planning are proposed.

Published: December 2023

The pond slider Trachemy scripta was one of the most commonly exported turtles until the last decade and often released into the wild outside its native range. It was introduced to Europe, Africa, South America and Asia and included on the EU list of 100 World's Worst Invasive Alien Species and the List of invasive alien species of Union concern. The import of the subspecies Trachemys scripta elegans into Europe and Croatia has been banned for some time, but the number of specimens recorded in nature is still increasing. In this paper we present 45 new localities were the species was observed in Croatia, which makes a total of 84 known localities. Most of the records, 58%, are in the Continental biogeographical region and the rest in the Mediterranean. It has not yet been recorded for the Alpine biogeographical region. Most records (42%) come from ponds. Three new sightings of females digging nests, laying eggs and sightings of hatchlings were recorded, suggesting successful reproduction of the species. Further surveys of this alien species in Croatia are needed.

Published: December 2023

In the years 1998, 1999 and 2000, samples were taken seasonally in the Fiesa lake situated next to the see - the only brackish lake in Slovenia. The purpose of the investigation was to establish qualitative species structure and relative abundance of the periphyton and the phytoplankton. In the years 1999 and 2000, some physical and chemical parameters were also measured. Altogether, 85 species and subspecies of algae (of six classes) were determined. Most of them belonged to Bacillariophyceae, followed by Cyanophyceae and Chlorophyceae. 19 species and subspecies are new to Slovenia, 15 of which belong to Bacillariophyceae and 4 to Cyanophyceae. Most of the new species and subspecies belonging to the genus Navicula. This is the first research into the Fiesa coastal lake's periphyton and phytoplankton carried out through a longer period of time.
Novi podatki o razširjenosti raka navadnega koščaka Austropotamobius torrentium (Schrank, 1803) v Sloveniji (Crustacea: Decapoda)
Authors: Bedjanič Matjaž
Published: December 2023

During 2000-2004, the species has been recorded at 22 localities in the northern, north-eastern and south-eastern parts of Slovenia. The records are briefly discussed from ecological and nature conservationist points of view. In the light of »priority species« status according to the Habitats Directive, the need for a further research into stone crayfish biology and estimation of its populations size and dynamics in Slovenia is pointed out. In the official Slovene proposals of potential Sites of Community Importance (pSCI) according to the Habitats Directive, the habitats of this species are insufficiently represented.

Distribution of palpigrades (Arachnida, Palpigradi) in Slovenia with a new record of Eukoenenia austriaca (Hansen, 1926)
Authors: Zagmajster Maja , Kováč Ľubomir
Published: December 2023

So far, three species of the palpigrade genus Eukoenenia have been found in Slovenia, predominantly in caves in the southern parts of the country: Eukoenenia austriaca (Hansen, 1926), E. spelaea (Peyerimhoff, 1902) and E. gasparoi Condé, 1988. Distributional map of the species mentioned is provided. In 2005, a subadult male of E. austriaca was collected in Migutovo brezno Cave, which is the first palpigrade record from the northwestern part of Slovenia. It was found on the surface of a small puddle in clay sediment deposited on the rocks of a narrow channel about 100 m from the cave entrance and about 15 m below the surface. Based on opisthosomal chaetotaxy, it differs from the nominal subspecies, and additional specimens from the locality would be required for exact subspecific determination. Microhabitats inhabited by palpigrades and collecting methods used are discussed.

Language Models Enable Simple Systems for Generating Structured Views of Heterogeneous Data Lakes
Authors: Arora Simran , Yang Brandon , Eyuboglu Sabri , Narayan Avanika , Hojel Andrew , Trummer Immanuel , Ré Christopher
Published: December 2023

A long standing goal in the data management community is developing systems that input documents and output queryable tables without user effort. Given the sheer variety of potential documents, state-of-the art systems make simplifying assumptions and use domain specific training. In this work, we ask whether we can maintain generality by using the in-context learning abilities of large language models (LLMs). We propose and evaluate Evaporate, a prototype system powered by LLMs. We identify two strategies for implementing this system: prompt the LLM to directly extract values from documents or prompt the LLM to synthesize code that performs the extraction. Our evaluations show a cost-quality tradeoff between these two approaches. Code synthesis is cheap, but far less accurate than directly processing each document with the LLM. To improve quality while maintaining low cost, we propose an extended implementation, Evaporate-Code+, which achieves better quality than direct extraction. Our insight is to generate many candidate functions and ensemble their extractions using weak supervision. Evaporate-Code+ outperforms the state-of-the art systems using a
sublinear
pass over the documents with the LLM. This equates to a 110X reduction in the number of documents the LLM needs to process across our 16 real-world evaluation settings.
ALECE: An Attention-based Learned Cardinality Estimator for SPJ Queries on Dynamic Workloads
Authors: Li Pengfei , Wei Wenqing , Zhu Rong , Ding Bolin , Zhou Jingren , Lu Hua
Published: December 2023

For efficient query processing, DBMS query optimizers have for decades relied on delicate cardinality estimation methods. In this work, we propose an Attention-based LEarned Cardinality Estimator (ALECEfor short) for SPJ queries. The core idea is to discover the implicit relationships between queries and underlying dynamic data using attention mechanisms in ALECE's two modules that are built on top of carefully designed featurizations for data and queries. In particular, from all attributes in the database, the data-encoder module obtains organic and learnable aggregations which implicitly represent correlations among the attributes, whereas the query-analyzer module builds a bridge between the query featurizations and the data aggregations to predict the query's cardinality. We experimentally evaluate ALECE on multiple dynamic workloads. The results show that ALECE enables PostgreSQL's optimizer to achieve nearly optimal performance, clearly outperforming its built-in cardinality estimator and other alternatives.
A Theoretical Analysis of Collusion Involving Technology Licensing Under Diseconomies of Scale
Authors: Lindblom Ted , Mallios Aineas , Sjögren Stefan
Published: December 2023

This study focuses on firms with cost-efficient technology that use licensing to influence product market behaviour, market prices and outputs and the resulting welfare effects. We show how licensing fees can be constructed that lead to identical collective industry outputs as under collusion while industry output is equal to or higher than that achieved under competition and sustained in equilibrium. Hence, consumers are either indifferent to firms’ collusion or better off when they do collude, whereas firms (producers) are always better off due to the improved cost efficiency of integrating the new production technology. This provides a theoretical foundation that explains why technology licensing is observed in highly concentrated industries characterised by significant diseconomies of scale relative to demand. We contribute to the literature by demonstrating how technology licensing involving collusion can reduce the dissipation effect and improve social welfare in oligopolistic industries. An important policy implication is that collusion involving technology licensing should not always be challenged by antitrust authorities, particularly when it does not transfer welfare from consumers to producers.

Authors: Alshaye Ibrahim Abdullah , Tasir Zaidatun , Jumaat Nurul Farhana
Published: December 2023

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of online problem-based learning (PBL) tasks on problem-solving ability (PSA) and programming skills of secondary school students. A quantitative research design of a quasi-experimental research was adopted in this study. A purposive non-random sampling method was used to select two schools. Then, a clustered random sampling technique was carried out to select four classes, consisting of 120 students. The classes were divided equally into online PBL and non-online PBL. A problem-solving inventory questionnaire was used to measure PSA before and after the treatment, and pre-post performance tests were used to assess students’ performance. The students underwent 8 weeks of learning tasks by using online PBL via Facebook groups. The findings from this study proved that online PBL improved students’ PSA, and their higher-order thinking skills, and helped them to perform better in learning programming by using Facebook for interaction and participation in the online discussion with a facilitator and peers.
Influence of inlet structure on combustion flow structure in magnesium powder fueled water ramjet engine
Authors: Xu Wei , Yang Zhi-Long , Wu Yun-Kai , Ding Guo-Yu , Xue Rui , Liu Jun-Li , Sun Hai-Jun
Published: December 2023

Different inlet structures have a significant impact on the internal flow characteristics of a solid-magnesium powder water ramjet engine. Based on the magnesium-water reaction model, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method is applied to establish a numerical simulation method for the internal flow field of the engine, and the internal flow characteristics of the engine under different inlet structure conditions are studied. The simulation results show that high-temperature gas can effectively promote the ignition of magnesium powder at the top of the combustion chamber, while accelerating the evaporation of the first inlet water and increasing the combustion rate of magnesium powder. The secondary inlet has the most significant effect on the temperature inside the combustion chamber. When the secondary inlet flow rate increases towards the top of the combustion chamber, it increases the amount of heat absorbed by the evaporating water at the top of the chamber, thereby reducing the temperature at the top of the combustion chamber. However, when the flow rate is low, it results in insufficient oxidizer at the top of the combustion chamber, which is unfavorable for the combustion of magnesium powder.

Authors:   Institute of Industrial Economics of NAS of Ukraine, Okhten Oleksiy , Dasiv Alla ,   Institute of Industrial Economics of NAS of Ukraine
Published: December 2023

The article presents the constituent elements of the system of financial and economic stimulation of the development of smart industry (and scientific and technological progress in general), the main of which are defined as monetary (monetary and credit) and fiscal (tax and budget) stimulation. The results of the analysis of the currently existing economic modeling software systems, which can be used to determine directions for stimulating the development of smart industry, are given. Such modeling software products included: "Energy Policy Simulator" system by the Energy Innovation Policy & Technology Institute, “Siforeca” industrial forecasting and foresight system by the Institute of Industrial Economics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Global Industry Model by Oxford Economics consulting company, the Global Economic Data & Forecasts system from Moody's Analytics consulting company. Features of governmental practical measures of foreign countries for the financial and economic stimulation of the development of smart industry are also given, which include: the EU Industrial Research and Development Investment Scoreboard; Inflation Reduction Act (USA); the New Industrial Strategy of the EU; practical mechanisms for stimulating smart industry in China; Japan's government initiatives to stimulate the development of smart industry. The analysis of the policies for stimulating the development of smart industry in the countries and regions that are leaders in this area (the USA, the EU, China and Japan) made it possible to establish that there is fierce competition between the leading countries – they are trying to secure leading positions in the field of specific technologies and the market as a whole. The main tools for stimulating the development of smart industry are direct financial injections (from dedicated governmental funds) and tax benefits. The development of smart industry is closely intertwined with the environmental agenda, and governments are trying to direct investments in advanced technologies in environmental areas. The leading countries do not wait for market mechanisms to distribute investments in smart industry on their own, but make targeted efforts to stimulate such investments. The modeling tools can be used (and is already used) at all stages of the development and implementation of measures for financial and economic stimulation of the development of smart industry – ranging from the selection of a specific stimulation tools to the determination of the volume of stimulation measures and directions of their application.
Shortened Duration of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Contemporary Clinical Review
Authors: Tang Kevin S , Banerjee Shoujit , Tang George , Patel Pranav M , Frangieh Antonio H
Published: December 2023

Percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation is an integral aspect of minimally interventional cardiac procedures. The technology and techniques behind stent design and implantation have evolved rapidly over several decades. However, continued discourse remains around optimal peri- and post-interventional management with dual antiplatelet therapy to minimise both major cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events and iatrogenic bleeding risk. Standard guidelines around dual antiplatelet therapy historically recommended long-term dual antiplatelet therapy for 12 months (with consideration for >12 months in certain patients); however, emerging data and generational improvements in the safety of drug-eluting stents have ushered in a new era of short-term therapy to reduce the incidence of major bleeding events. This case review will provide an overview of the current state of guidelines around duration of dual antiplatelet therapy and examine recent updates and continued gaps in existing research.

Healing the Hauntings: A Discourse Analysis of Grief in Two-Spirit Poetry
Authors: Bradley Mónica
Published: December 2023

This paper provides a discourse analysis of two poems selected from the book Sovereign Erotics: A Collection of Two-Spirit Literature (Driskill et al., 2011b) to explore the concept of grief in Two-Spirit/Queer Indigenous poetry. It analyzes the diction, voice, formality, themes, metaphors, similes, personification, and the use of repetition the authors utilize to represent grief and discover the social, cultural, and political realities and discursive practices behind the poems. It concludes that through their expression of grief, the poets highlight the emergence and endurance of a community and people who will continue to fight for survival and the right to live in peace and harmony outside of colonial gender and sexual binaries. Both poems engage with a continuing sense of Two-Spirit identity that call forth new generations of Queer Indigenous/Two-Spirit people while remembering their history and the Elders who came before to heal personal and historical trauma often through connection with nature, their ancestors, and spirituality.

Published: December 2023

Introduction and objective: The objective of the study was to assess basic immunological parameters in children presenting with seizure disorders during acute infection. Materials and methods: The study was conducted from 19 January 2017 to 5 December 2020 at the Department of Infectious Diseases and Child Neurology in Poznań, and involved 121 patients aged 5–188 months: 64 with febrile seizures and 11 with generalised epilepsy. The control group comprised 46 patients with delayed psychomotor and intellectual development, pervasive developmental disorders, and neurodeficits. A complete blood count with differential white cell count, inflammatory markers, immunoglobulin classes (IgG, IgA, IgM), and the aetiology of infection were analysed using standard laboratory methods in all the cases. Results: Lower IgG was found in the febrile seizures group, and lower IgA was observed in the simple febrile seizure group compared to the patients after epileptic seizures. Patients with first-time simple febrile seizures showed lower IgG levels than the control group. Patients with generalised epilepsy and human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) showed lower IgG than the non-infected subjects. Patients with first-time complex febrile seizures had the lowest lymphocyte count compared to the control group. The lowest neutrophil count and total leukocyte count were found in HHV-6-infected patients with simple febrile seizures compared to the non-infected patients. Conclusions: Monitoring basic haematological parameters and immunoglobulin levels is an effective strategy in the diagnosis of seizure disorders in children. Screening tests provide an initial quantitative assessment of humoral and cellular responses, as well as impaired phagocytosis.

Published: December 2023

Purpose

This paper provides a detailed presentation of the estimated number of people in Hungary with eye disease and refractive errors by both sex and age.

Materials/methods

In the past 12 years, 168,522 people (54.1% women and 45.9% men) have been screened under Hungary's Comprehensive Health Protection Screening Programme (MÁESZ).

Results

The total number of people with eye disease in the adult Hungarian population (about 8 million people) is estimated to be 1,684,818, with women (1,078,026) outnumbering men (606,792). Eye diseases were found to be more common in older age groups, and more common in women than men in each age group. The estimated number of people with refractive errors in the Hungarian adult population is 5,005,095. The overall number of people with myopia in the adult Hungarian population is estimated to be 3,058,536, with roughly equal numbers of men and women. The majority of people with myopia (63.3%) are between 18 and 45 years of age.

Conclusions

The huge number of people in the Hungarian population affected by eye disease or refractive errors underscores the need to develop and implement an effective national strategy and specific programmes to prevent visual impairments.

Some Problems of Ultra-High-Speed Transportation Technologies
Authors: Skosar V.  Yu. , Burylov S. V. , Dzenzerskyi V. O.
Published: December 2023

Purpose. The main purpose of the work is to identify some technical problems of high-speed transport that limit the effectiveness of relevant transport technologies in order to solve problems in the future and achieve progress in this area. Methodology. The theoretical analysis of scientific and technical publications, system analysis, numerical calculations, and exploratory forecasting were used. The features of the operation of high-speed transport of the 5th and 6th generation, based on the electrodynamic (electromagnetic) principle of movement and capable of reaching speeds from 200 to 60,000 km/s, are considered. Findings. The authors have established: 1) Maglev trains can become widespread in developed countries for passenger transportation and reach speeds of 600–700 km/h. They will be even cheaper, more comfortable and attractive due to new advances in high-temperature superconductivity, the use of nanoelectronics-based devices, and the solution of the issue of magnetic protection of passengers; 2) several Hyperloop lines are expected to be built for freight transportation. As operational experience is gained and safety issues of traveling in a vacuum pipeline are resolved, passenger lines may be launched. The Hyperloop will be able to reach speeds of up to 1,200 km/h; 3) Railgun transportation efficiency is expected to increase if new materials are developed and applied that would reduce ablation in extreme operating conditions. The Railgun will continue to be used in the scientific and technical sphere and in space technology; 4) it is possible to create an experimental Space Tram or its improved version if it is possible to develop the latest materials that can withstand ablation at high currents and speeds, and if there is a breakthrough in the field of high-temperature superconductivity. This development promises to significantly speed up the launch of payloads into orbit; 5) Breakthrough Starshot is unlikely to be created due to a number of technical difficulties that are far from being resolved. Originality. For the first time, the authors conducted a comprehensive analysis of technical problems in the field of ultra-high-speed transport technologies based on the electrodynamic (electromagnetic) principle of movement and proposed a forecast for the development of this transport in the next 20–30 years. Practical value. Based on the results obtained, it is possible to successfully solve the identified technical problems, which will increase the efficiency of ultra-high-speed transport technologies based on the electrodynamic (electromagnetic) principle of acceleration, movement and braking. In the near future, this will serve to speed up the introduction of freight transportation by Hyperloop-type transport and improve the acceleration devices for macrobodies such as Railgun.

Published: December 2023

Purpose. The intelligent search engine Bing can be used as a method and a means of determining the author of a Ukrainian-language test. Bing helps to find information about a text fragment and its author, but the search results may be inaccurate or incomplete. The main purpose of the paper is to study the effectiveness of establishing the authorship of literary texts by state-of-the-art artificial intelligence tools based on ultra-short excerpts. Methodology. Ten Ukrainian authors with a rich body of fiction reflecting various aspects of Ukrainian culture and history were selected, as well as random fragments of 3–7 words each from different works of these authors. An experiment was conducted to determine the authorship of 2,000 fragments. Findings. Using the Python programming language and the skpy package, we developed software that sends questions and receives answers from the Bing bot built into Microsoft Skype. The answers were checked for the name of the author of the phrase and the corresponding title of the work. According to the results, Ivan Franko has the highest percentage of answers where the author's name was mentioned (65%), and Oleksandr Dovzhenko has the lowest result (23%). The answers were analyzed by the length of the fragments. Of course, the longer the length of a text fragment, the greater the likelihood of accurately identifying its authorship. Features of the author's style are manifested in 20–40 % of short fragments. The remaining 60–80% may be commonly used language constructions that the author relayed from the external environment. Originality. In this work, for the first time, the method of checking the authorship of fragments of Ukrainian-language text using the Bing bot with artificial intelligence is presented. A comparative analysis was performed and experiments were given to determine the authorship of short fragments of 3–7 words. It has been established that even quite small fragments of the text have signs characteristic of the original style of the author of artistic works. Practical value. It has been determined to what extent experts in determining the authorship of natural language texts can rely on existing state-of-the-art artificial intelligence tools in combination with an extensive database of texts in the Internet space.

Abstract Background Prediabetes (PD) is defined as impaired fasting glucose and/or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and may be associated with high risk of cardiovascular injury. It is recommended that PD patients be screened for signs of arterial stiffness and cardiovascular injury to reinforce therapeutic strategies. Objectives To identify pulse wave velocity values discriminative for arterial stiffness and cardiovascular injury in PD patients. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with PD (N=43) and normoglycemic (N=37) patients who underwent clinical evaluation, arterial stiffness assessment by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) using SphygmoCor, laboratory blood analysis, investigation of morphological and functional cardiac variables by transthoracic echocardiogram, and assessment of carotid intima-media-thickness (CIMT) by carotid ultrasonography. A statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software and values of p<0.05 were considered significant. Results A cfPWV cut-off value of 6.9 m/s was identified for IGT (Sensitivity [SE]: 74% and Specificity [SP]: 51%). Comparison of general data and risk factors between subsets with values above and below this cutoff value revealed higher rates of fasting glucose (p=0.02), obesity (p=0.03), dyslipidemia (p=0.004), early signs of left ventricle (p=0.017) and right ventricle (p=0.03) impaired diastolic function, and elevated CIMT in subjects with cfPWV ≥ 6.9m/s (p=0.04). Conclusions In PD patients, a cfPWV cutoff of 6.9 m/s was considered a discriminative value for arterial stiffness. These findings highlight the value of early investigation of cardiovascular injury and aggressive therapy strategies with good control of risk factors in PD.

Résumé Cet ouvrage prend un texte littéraire de l'écrivain cap-verdien Germano Almeida comme les anthropologues prennent les faits de la culture. J'examine la complexe intrigue développée dans le roman Os Dois Irmãos, centrée sur un cas de fratricide survenu sur l'île de Santiago, pour comprendre comment la tradition est localement vécue. En analysant les actions tragiques des personnages principaux de ce roman, je cherche à révéler certaines des tensions puissantes qui imprègnent les pratiques des paysans cap-verdiens ainsi que les valeurs primordiales qu’ils éprouvent comme une sorte de destin œdipien.
Public policies for solid waste management and the occupation of areas near water in Manaus and Recife
Authors: Iribarrem Camila Garcia , Almeida Caroline Soares de , Rufino Márcia Regina Calderipe Farias
Published: December 2023

Abstract This article presents research experiences that examine water and solid waste in two Brazilian capitals: Manaus (AM) and Recife (PE). Contrasts, differences, and intersections between public policies on waste management, sanitation and housing are the points that sew this text together, as well as socio-environmental issues emerging in the ways of life related to water, whether along rivers and streams, tidal areas, or oceans. With converging scenarios - including the dumping of waste in water, and the lack of rights to decent housing - the people who live on the banks of watercourses and flooded areas are held responsible for dumping the waste that overflows onto streets, invading their homes. However, these dwellings receive floods of garbage from all over the city, invading their territories. A multi-sited look at these populations, based on street ethnography, visual registers, and comparative studies, combines with studies that produced in our research network on the anthropology of waste in Latin America and Europe.
Repair cafés in the Netherlands: Capitalist abstinence as a challenge to a linear capitalist economy
Authors: Colombijn Freek , Egboko Precious
Published: December 2023

Abstract Repair cafés have become a common phenomenon in the Netherlands and some other European countries. In repair cafés, owners of broken objects and volunteer-repairers meet to try to salvage broken appliances. While their economic effect is negligible, repair cafés are a small step towards attaining a circular economy because they motivate their visitors to lead more sustainable lives. By extending the life-cycle of objects, by refusing payment and by criticizing producers who frustrate repair by impractical design, customers and volunteers challenge the capitalist mode of production.

Authors: Tenenbaum Deborah , Bastos Angélica
Published: December 2023

RESUMO: O presente trabalho dedica-se às incidências do exílio sobre a prática da língua. Com o intuito de manter aberta a interrogação sobre a escrita, adota a perspectiva da questão-resposta a propósito do território que se tece pela via da escrita. Parte da língua enquanto ela coloniza os falantes para abordar os efeitos de linguagem documentados na escrita daqueles que atravessam a experiência do exílio. Remonta à acepção de exílio intrínseca à inexistência da relação sexual e procede à aproximação entre desejo e escrita.
Sound violence in bus trips
Authors: Trotta Felipe da Costa
Published: December 2023

Abstract The article focuses on the recurring and conflicting case of musical performance on public transport, analyzing the forced musical experience as an act of violence entangled with several other forms of violence. It discusses how fear conditions the listening of musical experience in urban environments, shaped by shared values, ideas, and prejudices about music that is spread in public transport. The imposition of a certain musical repertoire on other passengers is configured as a political action that claims to be heard by individuals who suffer different types of oppression. However, at the same time, it contributes to the sedimentation of stigmatization reinforced by forced listening. Informed by interviews in Rio de Janeiro, the text seeks to deepen the debate on the uses of music in public spaces, incorporating the complexities and contradictions that permeate sound and musical control in public transport in Latin American metropolises.
Narrativas de um conflito: disputas discursivas acerca do turismo em Barcelona
Authors: Felix Felipe Gonçalves , Souza Maria Julieta Nunes de
Published: December 2023

Resumo O artigo busca evidenciar termos e narrativas que embasaram a ação de protagonistas no conflito em torno à atividade turística na cidade de Barcelona, Espanha. Uma vasta carga discursiva emerge do embate entre os agentes envolvidos: empresários, Prefeitura, movimentos sociais, membros da Academia, produzindo um léxico próprio, composto por termos tais como overtourism, turismofobia, anti-turismo e turistização. Em busca dos significados de tão expressiva e metafórica comunicação foram entrevistados in loco representantes dos segmentos mencionados. Complementarmente, realizou-se levantamento de fontes bibliográficas e documentais para melhor compreensão da terminologia empregada nas distintas, e por vezes conflitantes, narrativas construídas pelos agentes entrevistados. O estudo evidenciou uma intensa luta política e simbólica entre os envolvidos, impregnada de recursos discursivos na busca por legitimidade e poder.
A visão da grande mídia sobre a revolução Fintech
Authors: Rocha Janes , Christopoulos Tania Pereira
Published: December 2023

Resumo As fintechs têm sido apresentadas pela grande mídia internacional como revolucionárias e uma ameaça à indústria bancária tradicional. Este artigo explora como essa imagem é construída. Concebidas para ampliar o acesso ao sistema bancário, as fintechs deveriam seguir parâmetros de responsabilidade social e preencher uma lacuna de mercado deixada pelos bancos. Escolhemos analisar a mídia por seu caráter de barômetro da percepção e compreensão de lógicas específicas (LOK, 2010). Analisamos artigos do New York Times e do Financial Times durante 24 meses. Os artigos mostraram que a mídia, ao tratar das fintechs, utiliza expressões como “ameaça”, “competição”, “ruptura”, “revolução” e, com bem menos ênfase, as consequências sociais. Nossa análise encontrou um discurso ambíguo de racionalização de mercado em uma tentativa de alinhamento das práticas à Responsabilidade Social Corporativa (RSC) em uma indústria em construção.

ABSTRACT Objective: to understand the meanings attributed by Amazon women regarding their motivation grounds to choose planned home childbirth. Method: a research study of a qualitative nature. The study data collection tool consisted of semi-structured interviews with 20 Amazon women who underwent home childbirths between November 2021 and March 2022, through the Snowball Sampling recruitment technique. After data collection, the interviews followed the content analysis criteria. Results: it was observed that qualified information, support networks and groups produce motivation and a feeling for home childbirth, which contribute to breaking away from the hegemonic model in Obstetrics and, thus, to refusing unnecessary interventions resulting from the established medical knowledge that oftentimes culminates in obstetric violence. Safety also emerged as a central factor to experience home childbirth, such as feelings of freedom, courage and empowerment about their choices and wishes. Conclusion: there is convergence with the current demands on positive care regarding respect for women's choice, which, through support and information, are central aspects to ensure assistance according to Amazon women's expectations, in order to break away from the hegemonic model in obstetric care, as home childbirth effectively guarantees their will, which must be heard and respected.
