LOCAL TAXATION: PROBLEMS OF CURRENT LEGISLATION
Authors: Pravdiuk Maryna
Published: June 2022

The article highlights basic problems of improving the legislative regulation of local taxation at the present stage. Institutional bases of development of the system of local taxation in Ukraine in the conditions of decentralization are substantiated. The main normative legal acts regulating the collection of local taxes and fees are analyzed. Peculiarities of collecting local taxes and fees, functions of local self-government bodies are considered. The main problems of financial decentralization and local taxation are identified, and the ways of further improvement of the mechanisms of its legal regulation are suggested. It is concluded that not only the legislative base of local taxation needs to be improved, but also the legislation on local self-government through codification. Emphasis is made on the fact that improvement of the legal framework in the field of local taxation should be based on the foundations of the current tax system and should comply with the provisions of the international regulations on local selfgovernment implemented by Ukraine.

Authors: Vdovina Olga N. , Bezmaternykh Dmitry M. , Krylova Evgeniya N.
Published: June 2022

Dredging is the activity of excavating soil and performing other soil operations in order to expand and increase the depth of water bodies. Under conditions of increased pollution, dredging operations may cause certain damage to aquatic ecosystems in general and to particular aquatic species. The changes in the composition and structure of benthic invertebrate communities have been studied in Lake Manzherokskoe in different periods: before dredging (2007), two weeks after the dredging has been started (2018), and 3 years after the dredging activities have been finished (2021). In 2021, there was an increase in species diversity and quantitative indicators of the development of benthic communities comparing to the period of dredging completion. Our data indicated the restoration of macrozoobenthos community in the lake to a certain extent. Later, this process may end in complete restoring with an increase in the water level in the lake and a significant decrease in the technogenic load on bottom communities.
ADDRESSING DIFFICULTIES IN TEACHING MATHEMATICS TO STUDENTS WITH MATHEMATICAL LEARNING DISABILITIES
Authors: Pigarev Aleksandr Yuryevich
Published: June 2022

The essence and reason for the inability to master mathematics are described as a lack of working memory. This paper describes two main approaches to solving the problem of teaching mathematics to students with learning difficulties in mathematics (MLD): (1) training working memory and (2) reducing the load on working memory in the instructional process. It was found that the results of the first approach are ambiguous: Training working memory leads to its improvement, which is confirmed by the test results but may not lead to improvement of the mathematical learning process associated with the student’s working memory. This justifies the primacy of the second approach. Both previously known methods for reducing the load on working memory in mathematics instruction are presented. A computer-based mathematics learning system developed by the author aims at automating basic computational skills (arithmetics, trigonometry, geometry). It is explained how to work with the developed computer-assisted learning system, which is based on the method of interval repetitions, and empirical data on the results of the system implementation are given.
Spectrum of Disorders Diagnosed on 99mTc-MAG3 Radioisotope Renography: A Report of 260 Saudi Arabian Patients
Authors: Elzaki Amin
Published: June 2022

Background: Diuretic renography using 99mTc-mercaptoacetyltriglycine (99mTc-MAG3) is a relatively non-invasive technique and has been increasingly used as a reliable technique for the evaluation of kidney function in a wide range of kidney disorders. Methods: In this retrospective study, we retrieved the medical records of patients referred to the Radiology Department of Radiology, King Abdulaziz Specialist Hospital, Taif, Saudi Arabia, with suspected kidney disease and underwent 99mTc-MAG3 diuretic renography during January 2020 to November 2021. Results: The medical records of 260 patients were retrieved. Most of the patients had either suspected obstructive (n = 80; 30.7 %) or non-obstructive hydronephrosis (n = 60; 23.1 %). The left kidney was affected in more than half of the patients (n = 155; 59.6 %). In terms of split kidney functions, the right kidney had a median function of 50.9 (38.5–75.5); overall, 39 patients (69.6%) had good right kidney function. The left kidney had a median function of 49.4 (24.5–61.5); overall, 33 patients (58.9%) had good left kidney function. Conclusion: Radioisotope renography is useful for assessing kidney functions in real-life settings. The present study’s results indicate that radioisotope renography using 99mTc-MAG3 is helpful in the visual interpretation of kidney failure, obstructive uropathy and kidney stenosis.

Gender Decision Dilemma of Disorders of Sex Development 20222022 (Khunsa) in Islamic Law with Medical Approach
Authors: SUSILO EDI , ZAHRO AHMAD , SANTOSO BUDI , MH FARADZ SULTANA
Published: June 2022

Disorder of Sex Development defined as congenital conditions in which the development of chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomic sex is atypical. In Islam, gender decision of khunsa is difficult since it still relies on the traditional approach of observing how people urinate and observing the physical features that emerge, whereas gender identity must be determined early because it affects every day worship activities. The goal of this research is to use a medical method to examine the renewal of khunsa gender determination in Islam. The descriptive qualitative analysis method is used in this study. The findings of this study suggest that in Islam, determining khunsa gender through a medical approach is warranty. In Islam, the importance of gender identity is particularly significant in issues of worship, such as congregational prayers, inheritance, aurat limitations, and marriage. Understanding and adjustment of medical diagnosis issues, community culture, and religious law need to be synchronized to improve the quality of life for people with gender ambiguity that do not deviate from religious principles and can be accepted in society without discrimination. To the best of our knowledge this is the first study of combine Islamic law and modern medicine.

Published: June 2022

The network of Indonesian Women’s Ulema under KUPI has emerged to become a new reform in a religious landscape tinted with masculine domination. This paper aims to explain the KUPI’s conceptual hermeneutical framework in producing religious interpretations and the implication of the approach on constructing inclusive gender norms and practices. This qualitative research is based on the results of interviews and literature studies as the primary data. This study demonstrates that the collective agency and power of KUPI network and its authoritative claim allowed the emergence of an inclusive production of religious interpretations and norm. As a result, it creates room for women's voice and contribution within the social and religious normative frame. The significance of this study shows that the authority of female as ulama and the hermeneutical approach in the one hand, and in the other hand inclusive gender paradigm is allowing the KUPI network to initiate a reform in both social and religion domains. This research recommends further studies to uncover the challenges and dynamics of the network in creating a new direction of Islam in Indonesia and Muslim World.

Authors: SHEIKH ALIO MOHAMED
Published: June 2022

The political history of Muslim minorities in the world is one of the emerging areas in the Muslim world’s contemporary issues that need to be addressed. This research examines the political history of Muslim communities in Kenya’s former Northern Frontier District (NFD), which was part of Somali Jubaland but annexed to Kenya Colony by British authorities in 1925, and the challenges they confronted during British colony (1895-1963); in terms of isolation measures, political marginalization and disregarding the 1962 referendum which expressed their will to unite with Somalia. Furthermore, the study discloses the harder difficulties that encountered NFD natives after Kenya independence in 1963; which appeared through the Shifta War (1963-1967), human rights violations, chronic marginalization and pending justice over historical grievances. The research will contribute to discovering the political and social history of Muslim communities in NFD and its impact on the current situation of former NFD’s residents in Kenya towards gaining a long-lasting stability in Kenya.
Reiterating Anti-Muslim Rhetoric: Interview Practices of Fox News’ Hannity
Authors: YACOUB MOHAMED
Published: June 2022

Analyzing interviews with Muslim guests on Fox News’ Hannity reveals biased practices that trigger anti-Muslim sentiment and rhetoric. Muslim guests are asked leading questions, cornered (asked off topic questions and forced to respond), accused with hedge-less statements, faced with the technique of “polls say,” and labelled as “you” versus “us.” The result of such anti-Muslim sentiment is audience who have not been given the chance to listen, but a chance to hate. This paper, thus, calls for transformation in action so that we pushback against this sentiment and rhetoric.
SOBRE LA NECESIDAD DE DESCENTRALIZACIÓN Y DIVERSIFICACIÓN DE LA INVESTIGACIÓN EN HUMEDALES COSTEROS PERUANOS
Authors: Gómez-Sánchez Rodrigo , Cuba Diego , Aponte Héctor
Published: June 2022

On the Peruvian coast, wetlands are ecosystems of great importance for local biodiversity and the surrounding human population. These ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to the impact of anthropic activities and climate change, causing the reduction and fragmentation of these spaces. We aim to identify characteristics of the research on Peruvian coastal wetlands, emphasizing their distribution by wetland and region, and the topics that have been studied. To do this, we searched for published investigations in indexed journals among the years 2001 and 2020 using online databases. A hundred and seventy-two papers on Peruvian coastal wetlands were found; the results of the analysis showed three main patterns: a) centralization in the Lima and Callao regions, b) greater research development in coastal wetlands protected by the state and c) greater study of birds' fauna and flora (mainly as species lists). We consider it necessary to decentralize research towards less studied regions, wetlands and subject areas, allowing to have a better overview of the diversity and needs of these coastal ecosystems.

Authors:   Universiti Teknologi Mara, Omar Nasiroh , Nordin Nur Naelah ‘Ariefah ,   UiTM Shah Alam
Published: June 2022

The role of visualization in journalism evolved when dynamic visualization was introduced. Previously, data visualization in media were constrained with the static nature of the media itself. Nowadays, front-end technology advancement allows for dynamic visualization included in journalism or as a standalone itself. Dynamic visualization ables to provide a compelling story and also effective in summarizing large amounts of data into useful insights. Using Andy Kirk’s framework of creating effective visualization, this paper aims to provide insightful and dynamic visualization on the evolution of Malaysian films in terms of its gender representation, box office success, budget, and genre. About 809 movies produced from the year 2000 until 2020 were sampled and processed prior to being visualized. The visualization shows that while male centric movies have higher box office earnings, female centric movies perform better in relation to their budget, implying that female centric movies can potentially earn better in box office sales if given a higher budget. The paper demonstrates the design, exploration, and implementation processes for an effective dynamic visualization.

Pre-Calculus covers additional algebraic and trigonometric, where the students are encouraged to become proficient in those topics to prepare for an in-depth calculus learning. In Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM), practically every semester the issue of Pre-Calculus’ high failure rate is commonly reported. One of the ways to measure the students' understanding of this subject is through the final assessment performance. Besides, gender significance is one of the most notable studies in mathematics performance. Therefore, this study aims to compare the performance of part 1 diploma students who registered Pre-Calculus in UiTM Tapah in in accordance to their gender. To analyze the results, this study performed Descriptive and Principal Component Analysis using R statistical software. It was found that the students faced problems in answering Question 2, but scored more marks for Question 5. This revealed that most of the students faced difficulties in handling sketches of parabolas and circles. It was also discovered that the female students outperformed the males in this course.
Mobile School Canteen Food Ordering System
Authors: Mohamad Masurah
Published: June 2022

Food ordering has been familiar nowadays. Everyone is very concerned about time and the necessities of life such as food. The food ordering application helps people to get their food easily and save lots of time. Most of the existing food ordering applications only focused on registered restaurants or food providers based on the specific location. However, there is no special food ordering application that focused on food ordering for school students and canteen food provider in Malaysia. Even though many food ordering applications are available to be used, the most apparent drawback to food ordering applications is that students are unable to use them during breaks at the school. Due to this problem, a mobile application named as Mobile School Canteen Food Ordering System is proposed as an alternative to the school students in selecting and ordering the food offered by the school canteen food provider. In addition, with the implementation of collaborative filtering technique, this system offered one additional function that will recommend the user on healthy meal that the children should consume according to the provided criteria such as foods that contain allergens. This project will benefit many students especially in primary schools whereas 75% of the respondents have agreed that the system is effective in choosing foods easily, facilitate and save their time to get food during breaks.
Effects of broiler chicken age and dietary protease on the standardised ileal digestibility of amino acids in seeds from two lupin species
Authors: Szczurek Witold , Świątkiewicz Sylwester
Published: June 2022

The extent to which lupin seeds can replace soybean meal in diets for broiler chickens is limited, and one of the reasons for this may be a lack of careful consideration given to the age-related amino acid availability differences in the feed formulation process. This study aimed to determine and compare standardised ileal digestibility (SID) coefficients of amino acids (AA) in raw seeds of the Lupinus luteus (YL) and the Lupinus angustifolius (NLL) cultivars as sole sources of AA in the diet of broiler chickens aged 14 or 28 days. An additional purpose was to check the influence of exogenous mono-component protease added to lupin-based assay diets on AA SID in birds at both ages. Each assay diet was offered to six replicatecages. On both sampling days, the contents from the lower half of the ileum were collected for determination of the apparent digestibility values. The SID coefficients were calculated using the age-appropriate basal ileal endogenous AA losses determined from birds fed a N-free diet. Results indicated a substantial advantage of YL over the NLL in SID of Met, Cys, His, Leu, Gly, Asp, Glu, Pro, Tyr and the average of total AA for 14-d-old chickens. With the exception of Cys and Tyr, there was no significant difference between these Lupinus species in the SID of AA in 28-d-old birds. The significant age-related differences within species were found only for the seeds of NLL, where the higher SID for Met, His, Ala, Pro, and the averages of total and indispensable AA were noted in birds aged 28 d. The protease increased SID of most AA from L. luteus in older broilers, whereas for L. angustifolius its efficacy was more pronounced in younger birds, giving the SID values similar to those determined at 28 d on an enzyme-unsupplemented diet. In conclusion, the SID coefficients of indispensable AA determined at 14 or 28 days of age for yellow lupin should not be applied to the precise formulation of starter-type feeds containing seeds of NLL.

Published: June 2022

Background: Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) is considered to have second greatest burden of all the infectious diseases. Knowledge of the etiology of diarrhea and its correlation to the length of hospitalization is not only important for the implementation of appropriate public health measures to control these disease but also, in many cases, for correct treatment. We aimed to investigate the epidemiology, clinical, and operational characteristics of AGE in hospitalized children in a tertiary pediatric center in Riyadh.
Methods: Patients aged less than 14 years who were diagnosed with AGE and admitted to the Department of Pediatrics of King Abdullah Specialist children's Hospital between January 2017 and December 2019 were enrolled. This study reviewed 902 patients with acute gastroenteritis.
Results: The age group with the highest risk of hospitalization with AGE was children under the age of 2 years. Three hundred thirty-nine (87.1%) of pathogen positive stool samples were due to undetermined pathogens, while 50 (12.9%) were due to known pathogens. The study found that gender and age at diagnosis were statistically insignificant for the length of hospitalization. More with greater, the length of hospitalization was more among patients with the undetermined pathogens.
Conclusion: This study found that the Salmonella species and a rotavirus were the most common known pathogens of AGE in hospitalized children. The gender and age of children with AGE had no association with the length of hospitalization. Moreover, the length of hospitalization was higher in children with AGE caused by undetermined pathogens than known pathogens.
Profile of prematurity and neonatal weight adequacy in maternity of Minas Gerais and parallel with medical literature
Authors: Guedes Raisa , Soares João , Pinheiro Melina , Fontes Jussara
Published: June 2022

OBJECTIVES: Newborns at both ends of the growth curve are at increased risk for perinatal morbidity and mortality. These newborns usually are associated with prematurity and low birth weight. During clinical practice, failure to recognize these neonates can compromise their treatment and lead to future complications. The objective of this study was to evaluate the classification of neonates in the studied hospital regarding weight adequacy and maturity and to compare it with medical literature estimates. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive, and retrospective study. We analyzed birth weight and gestational age of newborns in a Minas Gerais maternity for two months to describe the profiles of weight adequacy for gestational age at birth and its maturity, using the growth curves of Intergrowth-21 as a reference, and compare them with other studies. RESULTS: For maturity, 11.4% of newborns were premature, 88.1% at term, and 0.4% post-term. Small for gestational age (SGA) were 8.4% and large for gestational age 14.2%. Low birth weight newborns were 9.9%, macrosomic 4.9%. The studied hospital had higher values for the total (p<0.001) and full-term (p<0.001) low birth weight concerning the Intergrowth-21 study, but no significant results when concerning prematurity (0.07) and other studies. CONCLUSION: The values found were not significantly different, in most cases, from estimates of the literature, considering the same characteristics. Knowing the profile of a reference maternity in Minas Gerais is essential to recognize problems early and optimize the interventions offered and thus meet the real demands of this population.
When Brazil Got the Blues: The Diffusion of Blues in Brazil
Authors: Marcus Alan P.
Published: June 2022

The focus of this article is to understand and examine the phenomenon of the introduction of blues as a musical genre in Brazil (1985-1992), which has never been studied.  By highlighting the processes of globalization and the Brazilian blues band from Rio de Janeiro, Blues Etílicos, I ask what were the spaces, places, and venues that helped to disseminate blues throughout Brazil? How does an African-American-based genre adopted and popularized by upper-and-middle-class white urbanites in Brazil? To answer these questions, I examine political, musical, and cultural backdrops, and the end of Brazil’s military dictatorship in 1985, which overlapped with a major Brazilian rock festival, “Rock in Rio,” and Brazil’s first blues festival in Ribeirão Preto in 1989. This article adds to the scholarly literature of blues and music geography by looking at ongoing discussions of Brazil’s changing political, cultural, and musical landscapes.
Música Popular Black and anti-racist struggles: musical cosmopolitanism and the soul aesthetic in Brazil (1963-1978)
Authors: Treece David
Published: June 2022

This essay reassesses the political significance of the creative impulses, performance aesthetics and artistic work that became identified collectively as música popular black, and their contribution to the anti-racist cause in Brazil during the 1964-85 dictatorship.  It reevaluates how the state orthodoxy of racial nationalism and denialism was challenged, not merely in the adoption of the soul aesthetic as a marker of diasporic identification with US blackness, but in the cumulative emergence of an autonomous anti-racist consciousness and voice for Afro-Brazilians within their own musical and social world. This was expressed, not only in a body of powerfully explicit anti-racist statements but also in a creolized, cosmopolitan idiom of vocal and performative style that connected local artists and the Black Rio dance scene, and that contributed to the building of a Black public sphere, leaving a potent legacy for the musical and political movements of the 1980s, 1990s and beyond.
The Military Influence on Industrial Policies in Brazil During the 20th and Early 21st Centuries
Authors: Brustolin Vitelio
Published: June 2022

The defense industry is a part of a country’s industrial base and often has multiple uses, serving both civilian and military purposes. It does not stand alone and is a significant part of the country’s industry. From this perspective, the article demonstrates the military influence on Brazil’s industrialization policies. This influence was not always vested with legitimacy, as in the 1964 coup d’état and the subsequent military government (1964-1985). Furthermore, this influence was not always caused by internal reasons. Political-military events, such as World War I, and especially World War II, have directly affected the country’s industrialization policies. The methodology employed is a review of policies, institutions, laws, and historical facts. The conclusions highlight that during the 20th century Brazil went from the stage of not producing defense equipment to the status of one of the largest exporters in the world. This role underwent profound changes in the 1990s and 2000s. However, if a new military regime takes power in Brazil, when this regime ends, what happened in the 1990s may repeat itself, with deindustrialization and the subsequent dismantling of what remains of the defense industry, which would also affect the civilian industry.
Military involvement in political disputesas a factor of institutional instability in Brazil
Authors: Cardoso Plinio
Published: June 2022

This paper reports how the recent military`s involvement in political disputes raises instability in Brazil. As the country will have a presidential election in October 2022, the research sheds light on how President Bolsonaro abuses the armed forces` prestige and power as an instrument of intimidation and political pressure, which includes pushing followers to call for military intervention against Congress and the Supreme Court. For this purpose, this study identifies some top military officials’ declarations and analyses how they explain Brazil’s political instability scenario that began in 2013 and how the other two Branches have been reacting to Bolsonaro`s moves. Despite no evidence that the armed forces are committed to any threat to democracy, it must be a permanent task to keep them as nonpartisan institutions. Shielding military commanders from domestic politics is part of this effort to be considered in the studies about the protection of the constitutional order.
Gênero e Defesa: uma questão de preferências
Authors: Schwether Natalia , Steiner Andrea
Published: June 2022

O artigo visa responder à pergunta: o que explica a ausência de políticas de gênero nos documentos oficiais da defesa brasileira? Para tanto, sugere que tal ausência é resultado, também, da influência militar na política. Isto é, os desafios das mulheres militares brasileiras, como o acesso limitado a certas armas e especialidades, restrições nas formas de ingresso, problemas de infraestrutura e inexistência de uma legislação que as ampare, são reflexos dos interesses das elites políticas e sua relação com os líderes militares, os quais nem sempre possuem vontade política para introduzir a questão de gênero na agenda, esforçando-se para manter a organização ilesa às mudanças sociais. O artigo emprega a técnica de rastreamento de processo, com especial enfoque na busca de evidências empíricas.
The relationship between defence policy, defence budget and force structure in contemporary Brazil
Authors: Ferreira da Silva Peterson , W. M. Teixeira Júnior Augusto
Published: June 2022

Despite having regional interests and abundant natural resources to secure while great-power competition is developing in South America, the roles and objectives of the Brazilian Armed Forces are strongly related to missions other than external security. In this direction, what are the main challenges regarding the relationship between defence policy, defence budget, and force structure in Brazil? To address this research problem, we explore an analytical approach that connects defence policy to budget execution in the context of civil-military relations in Brazil. The methodological framework of the paper adopts a qualitative approach, choosing a single case study as its research design. To cope with the classical limitations of the single-country study we adopted a broader historical perspective to raise observations. Thus, the paper deals with two levels of analysis: international (geopolitical landscape) and domestic (Ministry of Defence). Based on official documents and budgetary data between 1999 and 2021, we trace the major consequences of the Brazilian Armed Forces' continuous involvement in internal security issues, such as public safety, border security, environmental crimes, and migration crises. The paper shows that the current profile of Brazil’s military spending, which is characterised by relatively high costs on personnel and low investments, has detrimental effects on defence acquisitions, training, operations, and readiness. Our main argument is that the share of personnel expenditure is a fundamental challenge for Brazilian defence policy in the coming years.
Com a bíblia e com o fuzil: notas exploratórias sobre a ascensão evangélica nas forças armadas
Authors: Lentz Rodrigo , Penido Oliveira Ana Amélia
Published: June 2022

O objetivo deste texto é explorar possíveis impactos da ascensão evangélica em aspectos do Exército como a hierarquia, a disciplina, a sociabilidade, a doutrina, e nas relações com o que os militares chamam de “mundo civil”. Para isso, a pesquisa lança mão de dados quantitativos relativos à religião dos cadetes da Academia Militar das Agulhas Negras (2002-2012) e do exame qualitativo da influência religiosa na doutrina da Escola Superior de Guerra (1974-2016). Seus resultados, ainda exploratórios, apontam para mais encontros do que desencontros entre a doutrina militar e a religiosidade evangélica
40.000 Garotas Desaparecidas: Espetáculo Falacioso, Políticas Sexuais Fora da Ordem e Violência Policial no Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Mitchell Gregory
Published: June 2022

Este artigo analisa o período do assim chamado protestos da “Revolução do Vinagre”, compreendido entre a Copa das Confederações de 2013 e a Copa do Mundo de 2014. Alega-se que nesse período há uma mudança acentuada nas políticas sexuais enquanto que as “políticas sexuais fora da ordem” deixam de ser aceitas e integradas nas manifestações populares de 2013 para serem subordinadas e até mesmo abandonadas durante a Copa do Mundo, visto que a violência policial contra as profissionais do sexo acelerou, à medida que os protestos populares diminuíram. Uma das alegações retóricas que causou, em especial, prejuízo às profissionais do sexo foi a alegação de que 40.000 mulheres e garotas são traficadas para cada Copa do Mundo — uma alegação que se mostrou completamente falsa. Contudo, essas garotas desaparecidas — que são imaginárias — também confirmou-se como sendo um tipo de espetáculo, sendo que esse espetáculo falacioso e dissimulado permitiu o aumento da violência policial. Este artigo argumenta que as políticas sexuais fora da ordem são remodeladas e se tornam vulneráveis a espetáculos — mesmo quando o espetáculo em questão é mais notável por sua invalidez etnográfica.
Valentes, diabólicos, invencíveis e aliados: Goitacazes, Temiminós, portugueses, franceses e jesuítas na Capitania do Espírito Santo
Authors: Bourguignon Leonardo Nascimento
Published: June 2022

As aproximações entre a História e a Antropologia permitiram nas últimas décadas uma transformação nos estudos sobre a história indígena deslocando as representações daqueles indivíduos enquanto vítimas e coadjuvantes para o papel de agentes ativos no processo de colonização da América Portuguesa. À luz do que há de mais recente nas produções historiográficas propomos analisar como os interesses de Goitacazes, Temiminós, portugueses e franceses construíram, destruíram e reelaboraram as inimizades ou alianças estabelecidas entre estes sujeitos no litoral sul da capitania do Espírito Santo no século XVI.
Crónica de lo imposible: imágenes de un Brasil indígena entre la literatura, el cine y la antropología
Authors: Donadi Maria Florencia
Published: June 2022

El pensamiento salvaje parece haber quedado confinado a la “prisión de lujo que es el mundo del arte”, sostiene Eduardo Viveiros de Castro. El artículo se propone entonces, en un doble movimiento, recorrer algunas manifestaciones artísticas en la literatura, el cine y la fotografía para rastrear la presentación de un imposible: un Brasil indígena. Este recorrido podría, claramente, extender su serialización, pero se abordarán aquí algunos puntos paradigmáticos de lo que podría ser un dossier incesante e inquietante: Quarup, de Antonio Callado; Serras da desordem, de Andrea Tonacci y la muestra fotográfica Variações do corpo selvagem, de Eduardo Viveiros de Castro. Esta última tensiona y torsiona, en el sentido de que instituye el segundo movimiento, la propuesta de lo imposible como apertura al acontecimiento que estaría ligado a una posible nueva epistemología estética y política que podría resumirse en el “todos somos indios” e “índios é nós”.
Politização indígena e crise da política indigenista no Brasil.
Authors: Faulhaber-Barbosa Priscila
Published: June 2022

Inspirada na  hermenêutica dos   paradigmas da antropologia, no exame crítico dos discursos oficiais sobre os índios indicarei, em traços gerais, as críticas das teorias da mudança cultural a partir das definições de contato, fronteiras étnicas e situação histórica, na leitura de autores que formularam suas contribuições a partir de etnografias de etnias da bacia amazônica. Tal abordagem relacional é eticamente fundamentada, ainda que provisória, em constante reformulação. A seguir, elucidarei o meu ponto de vista do conflito entre legislações, característico da atual política indigenista brasileira tocando permanência de práticas tutelares e que inclui os problemas relacionados a movimentos indígenas, organizações e participação institucional.

Este artigo parte da análise de três filmes de diretores brasileiros contemporâneos: O som ao redor (2012), de Kleber Mendonça Filho, Terra estrangeira (1995), de Walter Salles e Daniella Thomas, e Gabriel e a Montanha (2017), de Fellipe Barbosa, para refletir sobre o movimento pelo espaço e sobre o espaço em movimento, no cinema brasileiro. O espaço, neste caso, é o Brasil, por vezes representado pelos brasileiros, enquanto personagens, cidadãos, cineastas. Nas obras selecionadas, o território nacional é ora percorrido, ora abandonado, mas sempre repensado, de maneira a provocar também uma releitura da potencialidade do cinema brasileiro contemporâneo no cenário mundial. Espera-se, nesse sentido, também refletir sobre a extrapolação de territórios no sentido cinematográfico, ou seja: acredita-se que, abandonando certos clichês e ousando na forma de suas obras, os cineastas em questão realizam uma poderosa difusão da produção cultura brasileira, levando o país para o interior de outros continentes, ao filmar em outros locais ou ao transportar para eles histórias política e socialmente nacionais.
Political Cartographies in Aquarius
Authors: Winterbottom Tom
Published: June 2022

The premiere of Kleber Mendonça Filho’s film Aquarius coincided with the beginning of impeachment processes against former president Dilma Rousseff, spurring the filmmaking team to voice their opinions on the Cannes red carpet and in subsequent public discourse. In the following months the film became an important point of reference on the cultural landscape of Brazil, snubbed for selection for the Oscars, and involved in a debate over censorship. By first studying the content and cinematic techniques employed in telling the intimate story of contested space in the historic seafront building that is the film’s subject, and then analyzing the film and its reception as a cultural object at a certain political moment in Brazil during which time the film garnered significant attention and meaning beyond what is presented on screen, this article explores the deep politicization and extensive political cartography of Aquarius.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, bir spor tekniğinin bileşenleri olan temel sportif becerilerin öğretiminde görsel enformasyonların, gözleri örtülerek engellendiği bir öğrenme ortamında yapılan çalışmanın, öğrenme çıktıları olan temel hareket becerilerinin niteliksel analizinin yapılmasıdır. Basketbol topunu; yerinde durarak, yürüyerek, koşarak vb. top sürme (dripling), topu duvara, duvardaki bir hedefe, belirlenen bir çembere atma-tutma vb. becerileri (manipulatif) uygun koordinasyon ve postürde yapamayan 10-13 yaş grubu çocuklar uygulama (gözler kapalı) ve kontrol (gözler açık) gruplu çalışmaya alınmıştır. 8 hafta boyunca haftada iki kez (toplam 80 dk.) her iki gruba aynı beceri öğretimi aynı alıştırmalarla yaptırılmıştır. Dördüncü haftada ara test, sekizinci haftada son test değerlendirmeleri yapılmıştır. Ara test ve son test olarak saptanan bulguların istatistiksel analizlerine bakıldığında basketbolda top sürme tekniğinin alt becerilerinin öğrenimi, görme duyusu engellenen grup lehine anlamlı düzeyde farklılıklar ortaya koymuştur. Eğitimde farklı teknik kullanılmasının (“görme” duyusunu engelleme) öğrencilerin temel hareket becerilerinin gelişiminde daha etkili olduğu görülmüştür. Öğrencilerin gözleri kapatılarak yapılan çalışmalar sonucunda öğretilmesi hedeflenen hareket becerilerinin daha hızlı ve nitelikli bir öğrenmeyi sağladığı, eğitimde zamandan tasarrufa ve daha hızlı beceri kazanımına neden olabileceği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
Model-based Most Specific Concepts in Description Logics with Value Restrictions
Authors: Distel Felix
Published: June 2022

Non-standard inferences are particularly useful in the bottom-up construction of ontologies in description logics. One of the more common non-standard reasoning tasks is the most specific concept (msc) for an ABox-individual. In this paper we present similar non-standard reasoning task: most specific concepts for models (model-mscs). We show that, although they look similar to ABox-mscs their computational behaviour can be different. We present constructions for model-mscs in FL₀ and FLE with cyclic TBoxes and for ALC∪∗ with acyclic TBoxes. Since subsumption in FLE with cyclic TBoxes has not been examined previously, we present a characterization of subsumption and give a construction for the least common subsumer in this setting.
Complementation and Inclusion of Weighted Automata on Infinite Trees: Revised Version
Authors: Borgwardt Stefan , Peñaloza Rafael
Published: June 2022

Weighted automata can be seen as a natural generalization of finite state automata to more complex algebraic structures. The standard reasoning tasks for unweighted automata can also be generalized to the weighted setting. In this report we study the problems of intersection, complementation, and inclusion for weighted automata on infinite trees and show that they are not harder complexity-wise than reasoning with unweighted automata. We also present explicit methods for solving these problems optimally.

People today suffer from a variety of diseases as a result of their living habits and their surroundings. As a result, predicting sickness at an early stage becomes a critical responsibility. Machine learning has been demonstrated to be useful in assisting with decision-making and prediction from enormous amounts of data generated by the health sector. As a result, machine learning's use in medical diagnostics is rapidly rising. Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in the modern world. Predicting and detecting cardiac disease has always been a difficult issue for medical professionals. To treat cardiac disorders, hospitals and other clinics are offering costly medicines and operations. As a result, anticipating cardiac disease in its early stages will be beneficial to people all over the world, allowing them to take the essential steps before it becomes serious. Cancer has been described as a diverse illness with numerous subgroups. Early detection and prognosis of a cancer type has become a necessity in cancer research since it can help with patient clinical treatment. The health industry nowadays plays a key part in curing patient’s problems, thus this is also a way for the health sector to enlighten users. It is useful for the user if he or she does not want to go to the hospital or any other clinic, because by simply entering the symptoms and other relevant information, the user can learn about the disease they are suffering from. The health industry can also benefit from this system by simply asking the user for symptoms and entering them into the system, and in a matter of seconds, they can tell the exact and, to a degree, accurate diseases.
INDUSTRIAL B2B BIG DATA

Published: June 2022

Big data is a field that treats ways to analyze, systematically extract information from, or otherwise deal with data sets that are too large or complex to be dealt with by traditional data-processing application software &for buying and selling of personal and consumer data. The use of big data analytics in managing B2B customer relationships and examines the effects of big data analytics on customer relationship performance and sales growth using a multi-industry dataset from B2B firms. The study finds that the use of customer big data significantly fosters sales growth and enhances the customer relationship performance. However, the latter effect is stronger for firms which have an analytics culture which supports marketing analytics, whereas the former effect remains unchanged regardless of the analytics culture. The study empirically confirms that customer big data analytics improves customer relationship performance and sales growth in B2B firms.

ROTATED EMPIRICAL ORTHOGONAL FUNCTION ANALYSIS FOR SPATIO-TEMPORAL DATA ANALYSIS
Authors: Debnath Shreyasi
Published: June 2022

Given any space-time field, Empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis finds a set of orthogonal spatial patterns along with a set of associated uncorrelated time series or principal components (PCs). Spatial orthogonality and temporal uncorrelation of EOFs and PCs respectively impose limits on the physical interpretability of EOF patterns. This is because physical processes are not independent, and therefore physical modes are expected in general to be non-orthogonal. Rotated empirical orthogonal functions (REOF) were introduced to generate general localized structures by compromising some of the EOF properties such as orthogonality. EOF and REOF analysis are carried out for the significant wave height (SWH) data for the Bay of Bengal (BOB) region for the period 1958 to 2001. Separate experiments were conducted for all the months together and also for July and December representing the southwest and northeast monsoon periods. The first eigenmodes account for 84%, 68%, and 59% of the total variability for the above three cases respectively. The REOF proved to be more effective than EOF for the above region.
NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF TURBULENT FLOW THROUGH 900 MIXING ELBOW PIPE WITH DIFFERENT REYNOLDS NUMBER
Authors: Das Samir
Published: June 2022

This work presents a computational investigation of turbulent flow inside a mixing elbow pipe and this study focus on the behaviour of fluid flow in a mixing elbow. Mixing elbow is a region where two types of fluid flow with different parameters and high Reynolds number is intensively mixed together and is among typical geometries exactly where velocity, as well as temperature fluctuation, happen. A CFD model of turbulent flow in the elbow pipes is implemented using the ANSYS tool. RANS turbulent models, the k-ε model are used for the simulation and the variation of axial velocity, wall shear stress, and turbulent intensity along the length of the elbow pipes are studied. The fluid used for this purpose is water. The simulations are carried out with different Reynolds numbers rangings from 2,500 to 10,000.
