ESPAÇOS SAGRADOS E INTOLERÂNCIAS RELIGIOSAS NA REGIÃO NORTE
Authors: Almeida Vasni de
Published: August 2024

Neste artigo oferecemos uma abordagem sobre a configuração dos espaços sagrados na Região Norte brasileira e as intolerâncias religiosas que dela decorrem. Partimos da premissa de que a formação dos espaços sagrados é composta de tensões que emanam de disputas e tentativas de apagamentos e expressam um denso campo onde prevalecem a cultura da violência, mormente quando se trata de religiões e religiosidades de legado africano e indígenas. Analisamos esse espaço na perspectiva de Mircea Eliade (1992), onde, para o homem religioso, o espaço não é homogêneo e contém roturas. Nos atemos ainda à ideia da ordem simbólica instaurada no campo religioso, de Pierre Bourdieu (2005), ordem essa contribui para a manutenção da ordem política ao qual está atrelada. Nos auxiliam também a concepção de comportamento religioso, de Weber (1982). Para esse autor, as religiões universais não precisam, necessariamente, assumir o poder político para atuar em determinado campo religioso, basta a elas fazerem o Estado assumir seus princípios morais. Para entender as intolerâncias religiosas verificadas em meios de comunicação da Região Norte apresentamos breves considerações sobre o racismo estrutural, violência e preconceito sistêmico, conceitos que acreditamos estarem na base das práticas das violências contra as religiões populares.

Az 1Móz 2,24 értelmezése Jézusnál és az értelmezés mai tendenciái
Authors: Vladár Gábor
Published: August 2024

This short lecture will explore how Genesis 2:24 (“Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and clings to his wife, and they become one flesh.”) has received non-traditional interpretation in Genesis commentaries over the last hundred years. Jesus referred to this text as the basis for marriage (Mk 10:7, 8; Mt 19:5), as traditional theological thought has viewed it the same way. According to contemporary commentaries on Genesis, however, Genesis 2:24 is not “The Magna Carta” of the institution of marriage but a passage about the elemental attraction of man and woman to each other, which is the result of their creation. This presentation will try to reveal the background of this new exegetical perspective.
The Meaning of the Russian-Ukrainian War from the Perspective of Stefan Baley’s Intentionalism
Authors: Honcharenko Olha
Published: August 2024

The article is devoted to the search for the meaning of the Russian-Ukrainian war from the perspective of intentionalism of the Ukrainian philosopher Stefan Baley. This article attempts to actualise Baley’s intentionalist approach to war in the context of the philosophy of war, especially the ethics of warfare. The article analyses from a philosophical point Baley’s views on the meaning of war, attempts to find the meaning of the Russian-Ukrainian war by method of analogy, and formulates several inductive conclusions on the lessons from this war for the future. In conclusion, the article argues that the Russians’ justification of their armed invasion of Ukraine by a common history and the need for self-defense is hypocritical and self-deceptive. The article also suggests that such ‘morality’ of the Russians requires attention from the international community so that everyone in it does not mistake good for evil.

Published: August 2024

Code-mixing in movies is used to reflect human life and modernity in today’s bilingual or multilingual context. By studying the code-mixing in the movie, EFL learners can have better understanding on how language is used in different contexts and how it reflects societal norms and values. This qualitative research used content analysis to find out Hoffman’s code mixing within the dialogue of Disney’s Encanto. The result shows that code-mixing involving a change of pronunciation between Spanish and English occurs more than intra-lexical and intra-sentential code mixing. It happens because there are three characters who used Spanish accent in their dialogues. This study shows how language is used and represented in media. It also shows the media’s inclusion strategy to portray a more authentic and relatable cultures and communities.

Published: August 2024

Purpose: A wide range of cytokines has been demonstrated to be involved in the etiology of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Gene polymorphisms may potentially contribute to a hereditary predisposition toward circulating cytokine levels as (high, intermediate, or low) since they can affect cytokine production or function. The aim of this study was to investigate the roles of cytokine levels and the association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within cytokine genes with T1DM in Saudi children.Methods: Totals of 91 well-characterized T1DM patients and 91 T1DM-free control subjects were enrolled in this study.Results: The levels of 3 circulating cytokines (transforming growth factor [TGF]-β1, interleukin [IL]-10, and IL-6) and 6 SNPs in 3 cytokine genes (TGF-β1 [rs1800470 and rs1800471], IL-10 [rs1800896, rs1800871, and rs1800872], and IL-6 [rs1800795]) that contribute to genetic susceptibility were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers. Our fn dings show that TGF-β1 serum levels were signifcantly lower in the children with T1DM than in the control participants. The TGF-β1 genotypes with a high-production phenotype were signifcantly less frequent and those with a lowproduction phenotype were signifcantly more frequent in the children with T1DM compared to the control participants. respectively. Furthermore, the IL-6 genotype frequency with low level of IL-6 production were signifcantly increased in the T1DM group compared to the control group. Moreover, our data demonstrated no appreciable diferences in circulating serum level or genotype and phenotype of IL- 10 between the patients and controls.Conclusion: This kind of measurement, which considers the prediction of T1DM, may be useful in assessing the severity of T1DM and susceptibility to T1DM among Saudi children.

Published: August 2024

Purpose: Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is commonly used as a monitoring tool in diabetes. Due to the potential influence of insulin resistance (IR), HbA1c level may fluctuate over a person's lifetime. This study explores the long-term tracking of HbA1c level in individuals diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) from infancy to early adulthood.Methods: The HbA1c levels in 275 individuals (121 males, 43.8%) diagnosed with T1DM were tracked for an average of 9.4 years. The distribution of HbA1c levels was evaluated according to age with subgroups divided by gender, use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), and the presence of complications.Results: HbA1c levels were highest at the age of 1 year and then declined until age 4, followed by a significant increase, reaching a maximum at ages 15–16 years. The levels subsequently gradually decreased until early adulthood. This pattern was observed in both sexes, but it was more pronounced in females. Additionally, HbA1c levels were higher in CGM nonusers compared with CGM users; however, regardless of CGM usage, an age-dependent pattern was observed. Furthermore, diabetic complications occurred in 26.8% of individuals, and the age-dependent pattern was observed irrespective of diabetic complications, although HbA1c levels were higher in individuals with diabetic complications.Conclusion: HbA1c levels vary throughout the lifespan, with higher levels during adolescence. This trend is observed regardless of sex and CGM usage, potentially due to physiological IR observed during adolescence. Hence, physiological IR should be considered when interpretating HbA1c levels during adolescence.

Authors: Shin Sohyun , Kim Hwa Young , Lee Joowon , Ryu Young Jin , Kim Ji Young , Kim Jaehyun
Published: August 2024

Purpose: Data regarding the association between metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and preclinical atherosclerosis in childhood are lacking. Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) is a noninvasive method used to assess cardiovascular risk. This study examined the relationships among cIMT, metabolic phenotypes, and cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRFs) in overweight and obese adolescents.Methods: Anthropometric, biochemical, and cIMT data were collected. The study participants were categorized as MHO or metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) based on insulin resistance. CMRFs were assessed using blood pressure (BP); levels of triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and fasting plasma glucose; or a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. Differences in cIMT values were evaluated according to the metabolic phenotype and factors associated with cIMT.Results: Among the 111 participants (80 boys, 72.1%), 23 (20.7%) were classified as MHO and 88 (79.3%) as MUO. The MHO group exhibited lower glycated hemoglobin and triglyceride levels and higher HDL-C levels compared to those exhibited by the MUO group (all P<0.01). The cIMT values did not differ significantly between the MHO and MUO groups. The high cIMT tertile group revealed higher systolic BP compared to that exhibited by the low cIMT tertile group (123.7±2.1 mmHg vs. 116.9±1.6 mmHg, P=0.028). Mean cIMT was positively correlated with age (β=0.009) and body mass index (BMI) (β=0.033) after adjusting for covariates (both P<0.05).Conclusion: In overweight and obese Korean adolescents, cIMT was associated with age and BMI but not with metabolic phenotype or CMRFs. Further research is warranted to determine the relationship between cIMT during adolescence and cardiovascular outcomes during adulthood.
The role of MicroRNAs as fine-tuners in the onset of puberty: a comprehensive review
Authors: Jeong Hwal Rim , Hwang Il Tae
Published: August 2024

MicroRNA (miRNA) are small, noncoding RNA molecules that play pivotal roles in gene expression, various biological processes, and development of disease. MiRNAs exhibit distinct expression patterns depending on time points and tissues, indicating their relevance to the development, differentiation, and somatic growth of organisms. MiRNAs are also involved in puberty onset and fertility. Although puberty is a universal stage in the life cycles of most organisms, the precise mechanisms initiating this process remain elusive. Genetic, hormonal, nutritional, environmental, and epigenetic factors are presumed contributors. The intricate regulation of puberty during growth also suggests that miRNAs are involved. This study aims to provide insight into the understanding of miRNAs roles in the initiation of puberty by reviewing the existing research.

This research investigates the influence of integrating interactive teaching materials based on Catur pramana principles on elementary school students' critical thinking and learning autonomy in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS). This study employed interactive learning material, critical thinking, learning autonomy, and catur pramana theories. Employing a Quasi-Experimental design with a post-test-only control group design, two Grade IV classes were selected using a statistical matching technique. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests measuring critical thinking abilities and questionnaires assessing learning autonomy. The test and questionnaire showed that the experimental group had better critical thinking and learning autonomy than the control group. Besides, the quantitative analysis using descriptive statistics and MANOVA also revealed significant effects of integrating Catur pramana-oriented interactive teaching materials on students' critical thinking and learning autonomy in IPAS subjects. This study concludes that implementing interactive teaching materials effectively improves elementary students' critical thinking and learning autonomy. The findings suggest that integrating these materials presents a promising approach to enhancing elementary school students' critical thinking and learning autonomy.

La nanocelulosa, derivada de fuentes renovables como fibras de madera y plantas, ha emergido como un material de gran interés en la investigación contemporánea. Su estudio experimenta un crecimiento exponencial debido a sus notables propiedades. En este marco, el presente capítulo se centra en explorar el proceso de obtención de celulosa micro/nano fibrilar (Ox-CMNF) mediante diversos tratamientos con ácido oxálico, evaluando la influencia de variables claves en dicho proceso. La variación de la presión en el homogeneizador y la concentración de ácido oxálico se ha examinado como factores determinantes para obtener Ox-CMNF con características específicas. Este análisis detallado proporciona una comprensión más profunda de cómo ajustar las condiciones del proceso para obtener resultados óptimos en términos de tamaño, forma y propiedades de las fibras de nanocelulosa.

La Moringa oleífera es conocida comercialmente por el valor nutricional de sus semillas, hojas, tallos y flores, para consumo humano y animal. Es un árbol de rápido crecimiento que se adapta a una amplia gama de suelos, generando gran interés en su cultivo. El Eucalyptus grandis es, en cambio, un recurso forestal instalado ampliamente cultivado en América del Sur. La celulosa microfibrilada (CMF) y la lignocelulosa microfibrilada (LCMF) han despertado un gran interés como biomaterial, ya que tiene una amplia gama de aplicaciones potenciales en diversas industrias. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la aplicación de diferentes porcentajes de LCMF sobre pulpas marrones kraft fibra larga (BFL) y soda-antraquinona (AQ) fibra corta (BFC). La LCMF se obtuvo a partir de pulpas de soda-AQ de Moringa oleifera (MO) y Eucalyptus grandis (EG) tratadas mediante dos etapas de fibrilación mecánica.
Creativity and Innovation of the Community Based on Plastic Waste in Ubung Kaja Village, Bali

This community service activity aims to reduce the abundance of plastic waste, particularly plastic bottles, in the Ubung Kaja Village environment. After participating in this activity, participants will learn how to make chairs from used plastic bottles and process plastic waste, making the resulting products marketable. One of the efforts to tackle non-organic waste (such as plastic bottles and plastic bags) is to create chairs, tables, and beds with high market value. The aim and benefit of this community activity is to develop appropriate technology for managing plastic and bottle waste, thereby reducing the increasing volume of plastic waste. Ecobricks, commonly known as environmentally friendly bricks, are a method to minimize waste by filling plastic bottles with non-organic waste until they are completely solid and compact. This practice also educates children about non-organic waste, demonstrating how it can be repurposed into useful items like tables or chairs instead of waste.

The Ecomangrove Ulamsari Kedonganan tourist attraction is one of Bali's ecotourism destinations, offering educational and recreational experiences in a mangrove forest area. The increasing number of visitors poses potential negative impacts on the environment and society. This service aims to analyze sustainable tourism management at Ecomangrove Ulamsari Kedonganan. The findings show that sustainable tourism management at Ecomangrove Ulamsari Kedonganan is still not optimal. The ecological, economic, and socio-cultural aspects need to be better integrated. The ecological aspect has yet to be fully implemented in waste management, wastewater treatment, and carrying capacity. The economic aspect could have been more optimal in increasing local income and equitable economic benefits. The socio-cultural aspect has yet to be fully applied in local community empowerment and cultural preservation. Based on the findings, several strategies are recommended to improve sustainable tourism management at Ecomangrove Ulamsari Kedonganan:1. Implementing better waste and wastewater management systems, 2. Developing more creative and innovative ecotourism, 3. Increasing local community participation in ecotourism management, 4. Strengthening education and awareness for tourists about ecotourism
Lekresponsiv undervisning – ett undervisningsbegrepp och en didaktik för förskolan
Authors: Pramling Niklas , Wallerstedt Cecilia
Published: August 2024

I denna artikel presenteras en teoretisk utveckling av undervisning och en didaktik relevant för förskolans sätt att organisera för barns lärande och utveckling i relation till lek. Teoretiseringen är empiriskt grundad i ett kombinerat utvecklings- och forskningsprojekt och syntetiserar insikter från ett flertal disciplinära traditioner. I projektet har förskollärare, utvecklingsledare och förskolechefer tillsammans med forskare studerat olika sätt varpå förskollärare söker tillträde till och medverkar i barns lek. Undervisning teoretiseras som en aktivitet – det vill säga som något som görs gemensamt av deltagare (förskollärare och barn) – i kontrast till instruktion som en handling. Några av de viktiga begrepp som används för att klargöra undervisningförlopp i förskolan såsom spänningen mellan tillfälligt tillräcklig intersubjektivitet och alteritet och skiften och relationer mellan ’som om’ och ’som är’ klargörs. Lek förstås i perspektivet inte som något att basera undervisning på (så kallad lekbaserad undervisning), som sedan kan lämnas; istället förstås undervisning som responsiv lek som en potentiell dimension av varje undervisande aktivitet i förskolan.
Play-responsive teaching: A concept of teaching and a 'didaktik' for preschool
In this article, we present a theoretical elaboration of teaching and a ’didaktik’ (as distinct to didactics) aligned with how preschool organizes for children’s learning and development in relation to play. This theorizing is both empirically grounded, in a combined development and research project, and synthesizes insights from a number of disciplinary traditions. In the project preschool teachers, development leaders, and preschool heads, together with researchers, have studied different ways in which preschool teachers seek entrance into, and participate in, children’s play. Teaching is theorized as an activity – that is, as something mutually constituted by participants (preschool teachers and children) – in contrast to instruction as an action. Some of the key concepts employed in analyzing teaching trajectories in preschool, such as the inherent tension between temporarily sufficient intersubjectivity and alterity, and the fluctuation and relations between ’as if’ and ’as is’ are clarified. Play is understood in this perspective not as something to base teaching on (so called play-based teaching), as something that can subsequently be left behind; rather, teaching is understood as inherently responsive to play, as a potential dimension of any teaching activity in preschool.
