The Stuff of Christmas Homemaking
Authors: Vučinić Nešković Vesna
Published: June 2019

The domestic burning of Yule logs on Christmas Eve is an archaic tradition characteristic of the Christian population in the central Balkans. In the fifty years following World War Two, the socialist state suppressed these and other popular religious practices. However, ethnographic research in Serbia and Montenegro in the late 1980s showed that many village households, nevertheless, pre­served their traditional Christmas rituals at home, in contrast to the larger towns, in which they were practically eradicated. Even in the micro-regions, such as the Bay of Kotor, there were observable dif­ferences between more secluded rural communities, in which the open hearth is still the ritual center of the house (on which the Yule logs are burned as many as seven times during the Christmas sea­son), and the towns in which only a few households continued with the rite (burning small logs in the wood-stove). In the early 1990s, however, a revival of domestic religious celebrations as well as their extension into the public realm has occurred. This study shows how on Christmas Eve, houses and churchyards (as well as town-squares) are being transformed into sacred places. By analyzing the temporal and spatial aspects of this ritual event, the roles that the key actors play, the actions they undertake and artifacts they use, I attempt to demonstrate how the space of everyday life is trans­formed into a sacred home. In the end,  the meanings and functions of homemaking are discussed in a way that confronts the classic distinction between private and public ritual environs.
Myth, (New) History and Modernization of the Wild West
Authors: Hristić Ljubomir
Published: June 2019

The western frontier has been, and persist in being a means of constructing and ascribing meaning partly due to its association with maps and mapped areas, and partly because of its appearance in a number of folk tales, manuscripts and in formal, scientific scrutiny, as a paradigmatic discourse shaped in the American tradition and beyond. In the paper, frontier of the American Wild West is analyzed through the structure in which it was used in relation to its mythical and historical occurrence, principally through its interpretation as a construct adjacent to common beliefs that the central, regular metaphors of this multidimensional concept differ, and yet, simultaneously, as it is presented, more often than not, are based on corresponding theoretical and methodological platforms.
„Contested Identity“ of Macedonia: Identity of Difference
Authors: Stanković Pejanović Vesna
Published: June 2019

Macedonia is still in the process of forging its identity as an independent state; a process that is “contested” not only sub-state national identities but also the extent to which Macedonia sees itself as a subject of international relations.Without the protection of the Yugoslav federation, Macedonia found its security weakened and as a response to Bulgarian and Greek attitudes a more assertive and uncompromising view of Macedonian nationalism emerged, which would have a significant influence on Macedonian-Albanian relations in the new state. The Macedonians saw their national identity “contested” from several directions at the beginning of the 1990s, most notably from Greece and Bulgaria, and from inside the new state the Albanian opposition to Macedonian political and cultural dominance. Internal challenge to national identity is a result of the large number of cleavages between the two main ethnic communities. Because of this society has become increasingly segregated with major tensions running through the formation of new political identities and institutions across ethnic lines.

External challenge to national identity between the Republic of Macedonia and its neighbors can be summarized as follows: Bulgaria is the main identity threat to the extent that identity is anchored in language; Serbs are the main identity threat to the extent that identity is anchored in religion; Albanians are the main identity threat to the extent that identity is anchored in statehood; and Greeks are the main identity threat to the extent that identity is anchored in the name of the nation, its language and state.
The Discourse of a Preschool Education Curriculum
Authors: Miškeljin Lidija
Published: June 2019

The paper presents a critical analysis of the discourse of a preschool education curriculum. Its starting point is Foucault’s concept of discourse as language in use, which not only reflects the social order, but also shapes it through a network of conventions, knowledge and practices determining man’s – or, in this case, the reader’s – perception of reality.

The analysis is based on identifying the discourse strategies and/or systems of rules laid out in the text The basic principles of the preschool education curriculum for three- to seven-year-old children – model A which make possible certain statements and insights regarding children and thus position the child and the preschool teacher by means of discourse repertoires. This approach helps contextualize the text and leads to an understanding of the basic discourse mechanism involved in the creation of specific versions of preschool education.

As discourse analysis itself is related to interpretation and narratology, with the story as a constant, so is this paper a story about a preschool curriculum, for, like any other text, it tells an unfinished story that can yet evolve in different directions.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: A Superheroine, but not in Serbia
Authors: Gavrilović Ljiljana
Published: June 2019

This paper discusses the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, more specifically, its enormous popularity in the United States, Western Europe and Australia, and the absence of any reaction to the series in Serbia. By comparing themes regarded as important in western societies to the current situation in Serbia, the analysis shows that Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a series that could not have gained popularity in Serbia because it uses the language of fantasy to speak about reality and pose unpleasant questions, which the Serbian public does not wish to hear.

Authors: Li Wang , Yusha Hu , Yifei Lu , Jiangtao Fu , Ning Hu , Li Ma
Published: June 2019

Modified activated carbon/carbon nanotubes (AC*/CNT*) composite electrode was used as the electrode in a capacitive deionization (CDI) process for desalination in this study. The morphology and electrochemical characteristics of the modified electrode were discussed, and the results showed that after modification, the specific surface area of AC* reached 672.48 m2/g, increased by 29.43%; while the specific surface area of CNT* was 117.39 m2/g, reduced by 9.94% due to the strong oxidation of the mixed acid, the pore volume of CNT* increased by 48.28%. The electrode regeneration test proved that the electrode had good cycling stability. The pseudo-first-order kinetic model could better describe the adsorption rate of the electrodes for ions and the desalination ratio of the AC*/CNT* electrode reached 7.11 mg/g; the Langmuir model could well describe the adsorption mechanism of capacitive deionization, and indicated that the adsorption process of CDI was near to single ion layer adsorption; the change trend of electric mobility with migration time could be well fitted by exponential equations. This study explored a novel composite electrode coating, and initially explored the behavioral characteristics and trends of CDI technology.

Published: June 2019

Industrial wastewaters and their treatment are now placed at the heart of the environmental concerns that industries face. Some research work has been carried out in order to limit the impact of these wastes on the environment as well as their costs. In this study, wastewater dehydrated sludge (55% wt. water content) from the paper industry was used to recover cellulose by using tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride, [P(CH2OH)4]Cl, ionic liquid as a solvent. The ionic liquid has shown remarkable results in terms of cellulose extraction in addition to its non-volatility and lower toxicity compared to organic volatile solvents. All cellulose, based on dry sludge, was recovered from the industrial dehydrated sludge with better operation conditions. The influence of temperature and the quantity of ionic liquid was preliminary studied in order to optimise the extraction conditions.

Authors: Kassem Asmaa F. , Alshehrei Fatimah , Abbas Eman M.H. , Farghaly Thoraya A.
Published: June 2019

Background & Objective:

Quinazolines and their fused systems are noteworthy in pharmaceutical chemistry due to their wide range of biological activities.

Methods:

A direct and efficient approach for the synthesis of new series of fused quinazolines with triazole, thiazole, benzimidazole and tetrazole has been preceded via the reaction of quinazoline thione derivative with halogenated compounds or cyclocondensation of arylidene of quinazoline derivative with heterocyclic amines. Also, dibenzo[b,e][1,4]thiazepine derivatives was synthesized through the reaction of 2,6-bis-(2-chloro-benzylidene)-cyclohexanone with o-aminothiophenol.

Results:

The structures of all new synthesized heterocyclic compounds were confirmed and discussed on the bases of spectral data. The utility of the preparation and design of the above mentioned compounds has been shown to be clear in the results of their antimicrobial activity which revealed that some derivatives have potent activity exceeding or similar to the activity of the reference drugs.

Conclusion:

The insertion of triazole or thiazole moieties to be fused with quinazoline ring helps to enhance its antimicrobial activity.
Cyclic Tripeptide-based Potent and Selective Human SIRT5 Inhibitors
Authors: Jiang Yanhong , Zheng Weiping
Published: June 2019

Background::

SIRT5 is one of the seven members (SIRT1-7) of the mammalian sirtuin
family of protein acyl-lysine deacylase enzymes. In recent years, important regulatory roles of
SIRT5 in (patho)physiological conditions (e.g. metabolism and cancer) have been increasingly
demonstrated. For a better biological understanding and therapeutic exploitation of the SIRT5-
catalyzed deacylation reaction, more effort on identifying potent and selective SIRT5 inhibitors
beyond those currently known would be rewarding.

Objective::

In the current study, we would like to see if it would be possible to develop potent and
selective SIRT5 inhibitory lead compounds with a novel structural scaffold than those of the currently
known potent and selective SIRT5 inhibitors.

Methods: :

In the current study, six N-terminus-to-side chain cyclic tripeptides (i.e. 8-13) each harboring
the thiourea-type catalytic mechanism-based SIRT5 inhibitory warhead Nε-carboxyethylthiocarbamoyl-
lysine as the central residue were designed, synthesized by the Nα-9-
fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) chemistry-based solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) on the
Rink amide 4-methylbenzhydrylamine (MBHA) resin, purified by the semi-preparative reversedphase
high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), characterized by the high-resolution
mass spectrometry (HRMS); and were evaluated by the in vitro sirtuin inhibition assay and the in
vitro proteolysis assay.

Results::

Among the cyclic tripeptides 8-13, we found that 10 exhibited a potent (IC50 ~2.2 μM)
and selective (≥60-fold over the SIRT1/2/3/6-catalyzed deacylation reactions) inhibition against
the SIRT5-catalyzed desuccinylation reaction. Moreover, 10 was found to exhibit a ~42.3-fold
stronger SIRT5 inhibition and a greater proteolytic stability than its linear counterpart 14.

Conclusion::

With a novel and modular structural scaffold as compared with those of all the currently
reported potent and selective SIRT5 inhibitors, 10 could be also a useful and feasible lead
compound for the quest for superior SIRT5 inhibitors as potential chemical/pharmacological
probes of SIRT5 and therapeutics for human diseases in which SIRT5 desuccinylase activity is upregulated.
A Comprehensive Patent Review on β-cyclodextrin Cross-linked Nanosponges for Multiple Applications
Authors: Pawar Sandip , Shende Pravin
Published: June 2019

Background: :

Currently, the most important challenge in the development of therapeutics
and actives is their poor aqueous solubility and bioavailability.

Objective: :

The low aqueous solubility, poor pharmacokinetic properties, and bioavailability associated
with novel actives manifest in numerous challenges in the formulation of conventional dosage forms
like tablets, capsules, suspensions, emulsions, etc. Nanosponges are a novel class of drug delivery system
capable of encapsulating or entrapping both lipophilic and hydrophilic drugs. Target-specific drug
delivery and controlled drug release are the advantages offered by nanosponges which make them a
promising anti-tumor drug delivery system.

Methods:

Nanosponges are colloidal structures comprising solid nanoparticles with cavities and meshlike
structures for encapsulation of wide varieties of substances like antineoplastic agents, proteins and
peptides, volatile oils, genetic material, etc. The methods of preparation of β-cyclodextrin-based nanosponges
include solvent evaporation method, emulsion solvent evaporation method, ultrasound-assisted
synthesis, hyper cross-linked cyclodextrin and interfacial phenomenon method. A large variety of nanosponges-
based formulations are available in the market and some formulations of prostavastin, brexin,
glymesason, mena-gargle, etc. are under clinical trials.

Results: :

Nanosponges possess potential applications in target site-specific drug delivery to liver,
spleen, and lungs. Due to the surface functionalization, nanosponges show broad applications in water
purification, protein delivery, chemical sensors, detection of explosives, agriculture, etc. In the near future,
nanosponges-based products will capture a huge market for commercialization due to their improved
properties and advantages.

Conclusion: :

This review provides an account of the patents related to nanosponges (2006-2018) and
covers the broad applications of β-cyclodextrin-based nanosponges, their roles in vaccine delivery,
cancer therapy, fire engineering, water purification, etc.

Constructing the “Instagirl,” Deconstructing the Self-Brand: Amalia Ulman’s Instagram Hoax
Authors: Maguire Emma
Published: June 2019

Amalia Ulman is an Argentinian-born Spanish artist who used Instagram as a platform for an art piece titled Excellences & Perfections in which she used images of herself to portray a fictional character whose story unfolded over several months. Her images, replicating popular tropes of digital autobiographical performance were presented and widely read as 'authentic' selfies. This essay examines how Ulman’s performance piece can be understood as an autobiographical mediation that uses networked photo-sharing practices to investigate feminine embodiment and self-representation, and how self-branding in digital media is gendered.
A psychometric analysis of the Polish version of the eHealth Literacy Scale (P-eHEALS) among social media users (Preprint)
Authors: Burzynska Joanna , Bartosiewicz Anna , Rękas Magdalena , Januszewicz Paweł
Published: June 2019

BACKGROUND

Social media have become mainstream online tools that allow individuals to connect and share information. Such platforms also influence people’s health behavior in the way they communicate about personal health, treatments or physicians. But little is known about individuals’ ability to find and apply online health information to specific health problems. The eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS) is an instrument developed to measure these skills but it is not available in Polish and there is no evidence on its validity.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of our study was to examine the psychometric aspects of the Polish version of eHealth Literacy Scale (P-eHEALS) among Polish social media users.

METHODS

We examined the translated version of the scale in a representative sample of Polish social media users (n = 1527). P-eHEALS was a part of a web-based survey and CAWI was the method used to gather data. We examined the reliability of the P-eHEALS by calculating Cronbach alpha coefficients and analyzing the principal components. The exploratory factor analysis was used to assess the theoretical validity of the instrument.

RESULTS

The internal consistency of the P-eHEALS was sufficient: Cronbach alpha = .84. Item-total correlations ranged from r = .514 to .666. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a single structure explaining 47.42% of the variance, with high factor loadings of the item, ranging from .623 to .769.

CONCLUSIONS

The study results showed that the items of the Polish version of eHEALS were equivalent to the original instrument developed by Norman and Skinner in 2006 and can be used in measuring the level of eHealth literacy among social media users.
On the properties of spectral effect algebras
Authors: Jenčová Anna , Plávala Martin
Published: June 2019

The aim of this paper is to show that there can be either only one or uncountably many contexts in any spectral effect algebra, answering a question posed in [S. Gudder, Convex and Sequential Effect Algebras, (2018), arXiv:1802.01265]. We also provide some results on the structure of spectral effect algebras and their state spaces and investigate the direct products and direct convex sums of spectral effect algebras. In the case of spectral effect algebras with sharply determining state space, stronger properties can be proved: the spectral decompositions are essentially unique, the algebra is sharply dominating and the set of its sharp elements is an orthomodular lattice. The article also contains a list of open questions that might provide interesting future research directions.
A Quantum N-Queens Solver
Authors: Torggler Valentin , Aumann Philipp , Ritsch Helmut , Lechner Wolfgang
Published: June 2019

The N-queens problem is to find the position of N queens on an N by N chess board such that no queens attack each other. The excluded diagonals N-queens problem is a variation where queens cannot be placed on some predefined fields along diagonals. This variation is proven NP-complete and the parameter regime to generate hard instances that are intractable with current classical algorithms is known. We propose a special purpose quantum simulator that implements the excluded diagonals N-queens completion problem using atoms in an optical lattice and cavity-mediated long-range interactions. Our implementation has no overhead from the embedding allowing to directly probe for a possible quantum advantage in near term devices for optimization problems.

The development of Virgin Beach which has not been maximized has caused many complaints from tourists, both aspects of completeness of facilities, accessibility. Tourist preferences and satisfaction are important factors in developing Virgin Beach to make it better in the future. This study aims to find out the preferences and satisfaction of tourists in Virgin Beach, Karangasem, Bali. This type of research is descriptive quantitative, the number of samples of 40 visiting tourists taken using incidental sampling techniques. Questionnaires that are distributed using a Likert scale have been tested for validity and reliability. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics with the assessment categorization method based on the average score and IPA (importance performance analysis) with a method of looking for gaps between expectations and performance. The results of this study conclude that tourist preferences in Virgin Beach are good, have an average value of 3.6 in the interval of 3,5 - 4,2. While tourist satisfaction shows from 5 variables, namely: reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy and tangible evidence, only responsiveness and assurance variables that have performance in accordance with tourist expectations and are able to satisfy tourists while physical evidence and reliability variables have lower performance from the expectations of tourists so that they have not been able to support the satisfaction of tourists on Virgin Beach and the empathy variable is not too expected by tourists to support their satisfaction at Virgin Beach. And it is necessary to develop from the aspect of tourist facilities, and improve service performance.
Managing working capital efficiency in Turkish agribusinesses and the impact of globalization: insights from an emerging market
Authors: Akdoğan Ece C. , Dinç Dilek Temiz
Published: June 2019

The efficiency of working capital is a major determinant of firm profitability. So, the grasp of working capital dynamics is extremely important for managers, but also for policy makers, since inefficient working capital management is an important source of industrial sickness. This study focuses on the profitability impacts of working capital policies of Turkish agribusinesses, and aims to investigate the potential effects of globalization on these interrelated relationships. The findings obtained from pooled panel analyses demonstrate that Turkish agribusinesses can enhance their profitability and value by adopting a conservative working capital policy through lengthening the cash conversion cycle up to an optimal level. Besides, globalization is found to deteriorate their efficiency and profitability where economic globalization seems to have the highest impact raising questions on the effectiveness of Turkish agribusinesses in coping with competition. Thus, both the managers and the policy makers should concern with the competitiveness impacts of globalization.

A Indignação Ferroviária: Envelhecimento e Trabalho em Pelotas/RS
Authors: Gómez Guillermo Stefano Rosa
Published: June 2019

O artigo aborda o envelhecimento da comunidade de aposentados do trabalho ferroviário na cidade de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, a partir da perspectiva da Etnografia da Duração. Atentei para a pluralidade de imagens constitutivas das identidades narrativas dos ferroviários e de seus esforços de durar no tempo frente suas diferentes descontinuidades (aposentadoria, velhice, crise na ferrovia).  Enfoquei seus projetos, seus engajamentos, seus anseios por manutenção da memória coletiva. Evidencio como as maneiras de agir dos ferroviários, estão diretamente relacionadas com o “fim” desse modelo produtivo e com a dissolução de sua comunidade profissional. Pretendo demonstrar que a crise tem direta relação com a duração das memórias, não como sua antítese, mas como característica basilar dos atos de resiliência. Abordo os projetos de duração, desde os “desejos de memória” dos aposentados(as). Narro minha experiência de inserção nas redes dos aposentados ferroviários pelotenses, ponderando sobre como os esforços intelectuais podem ser aliados dos projetos de duração das populações trabalhadoras urbanas. AbstractThe article approaches the process of aging of the retired railroad work community in the city of Pelotas from the point of view of the Ethnography of the Duration. It pays attention to the plurality of images that are constitute of the narrative identities of the railroad workers and of their efforts to endure in the time facing his multiple discontinuities as the retirement, the aging itself and the railroad transport crisis in Brazil. I focused on their projects, their engagements, their claimings for duration of the collective memory. I pointed out to the actions of the retired workers are directly implied with the impacts of “the end” of the productive model based on railroads and also related with the dissolution of their professional community. I intend to demonstrate that the crisis has direct relation with the duration of the memories not as their antithesis but much more as a base for the resilience actions. My experience between the social networks of the railroad community was the base for refletion that the anthropological efforts can be allies of the duration projects of the urban workers populations.

Se basa en una investigación realizada en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires con abordaje de métodos mixtos, para obtener profundidad y representatividad en el uso, la imagen, las estrategias de supervivencia y el papel de las redes sociales entre los adultos mayores en relación con los programas sociales.Las representaciones sociales funcionan y organizan a través de la interacción social, lo que les otorga un carácter dinámico basado en la coexistencia, tensión y predominio temporario entre los diversos elementos constitutivos del campo representacional y se moldean al ser producidas en grupos determinados.Para obtener la representación social de los encuestados se utilizó la técnica de asociación de palabras y el análisis de correspondencias múltiples.  Las imágenes y opiniones positivas o negativas se asocian con el nivel educativo. Influyen: el conocimiento, uso  y grado de satisfacción de necesidades. AbstractThis article examines social representations of seniors in relation to elderly-specific programs. It is based on a research conducted in Buenos Aires City using a mixed-methods approach, with the purpose of obtaining depth and representativeness upon our findings on the use and image of social programs among old people, as well as on their survival strategies and the role of social media.Social representations work and are configured through social interaction, giving them a dynamic nature based on the coexistence, tension and temporary prevalence among the multiple constituent elements of the representational field. Also, social representations are shaped while being produced within particular groups.In order to capture social representations of respondents, word association technique and multiple correspondence analysis were used. Positive and negative images and opinions about social programs were linked to educational level. Moreover, they were influenced by both the knowledge and usage of social programs among respondents, and their need-satisfaction level.

Female models in an American glamour website: geographic distribution, modeling limits and income according to their self presentations
Authors: Monge-Najera Julián , Vega-Corrales Karla
Published: June 2019

RESUMEN: El mercado estadounidense de modelos glamour es el más grande del mundo y GlamourModels es el principal portal especializado en ese campo. Analizamos los perfiles de 368 modelos estadounidenses publicados en el sitio hasta el 2011. Su edad promedio fue de 27,6 años y son más altas y esbeltas que la población femenina general del país (promedios: 1,68m de altura, 54kg y cociente cintura-cadera 0,73). De 2001 a 2011 la presencia de modelos en el sitio se expandió desde el este hasta las regiones central y occidental de los EE.UU. La cantidad de modelos producida por cada estado se puede predecir a partir de su población total. El estado con más modelos fue California, seguido por Texas, Nueva York y Arizona. Sólo seis estados seguían sin tener modelos en el sitio en 2011 y todos eran estados con poblaciones pequeñas y sin grandes ciudades. Generalmente las modelos prefieren trabajar vestidas aunque el enfoque sea más sexual que en el desnudo artístico. Puede preocuparles el rechazo social a este tipo de trabajo. Estas mujeres hallan en el modelaje glamour una fuente adicional de ingresos que se puede mantener en paralelo con otras actividades y que paga bien por hora.PALABRAS CLAVE: modelos, glamour, geografía, edad, desnudez, economía.

El estudio se realizó desde octubre 2008 a diciembre de 2009 en la Cooperativa Matadero Nacional de Montecillos R.L, Alajuela, Costa Rica; donde se cuantificó la cantidad de hembras bovinas cosechadas; dicha cooperativa representa más del 20% de las extracciones bovinas del país. Durante el periodo, el porcentaje de hembras que se sacrificó fue de 50,57%, 51,44% fueron hembras en estado de preñez, desde gestaciones tempranas donde apenas se trataba de capsulas embrionarias hasta fetos en avanzados estados de desarrollo. Se encontró que un 38,16% de hembras que se sacrifican en edades tempranas, algunas no llegaron a tener actividad reproductiva. Entre las razones de cosechar hembras, según la opinión de los socios de la Cooperativa Montecillos, se determinaron se considera el animal viejo (19,6%), presión de selección (18,2%), necesidad de dinero (16,1%), problemas de reproducción (16,1%), escasez de alimento para los animales (14,0%) y otras como enfermedades y estrategia de mercado (16,0%). Algunas de las causas se pueden resolver con una eficiente administración de las fincas para evitar pérdidas para el ganadero y para el hato nacional. PALABRAS CLAVE: Hembras preñadas, hato bovino, sacrificio de animales, extracciones, gestación.

Saqueo y depredación de nidadas de tortugas marinas, durante las temporadas 2003 a 2012, en seis playas del Golfo de Paria, Venezuela
Authors: Balladares Clemente , Dubois Eva
Published: June 2019

Poaching and predation of sea turtle clutches, during the 2003 and 2012 seasons, on six beaches of the Paria Gulf in Venezuela. Looting and predation of nests are among the major threats to marine turtles. Six beaches of Paria Gulf, northeastern Venezuela, have been protected and had a reduction of clutch poaching and predation on leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea), green (Chelonia mydas), and hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) turtles. During ten years (2003-2012) of nesting seasons (March through October) the six beaches were observed for nesting, poaching and predation. The most frequent losses are caused by poaching, followed by the common fox (Cerdocyon thous), opossum (Didelphis marsupialis) and tamandua (Tamandua tetradactila). The most poached beach is Silvano, followed by Los Garzos (main nesting beach at the site) and Cerezo, which is more distant from the conservation team activity.
A escrita imagética de Daniel Galera e a adaptação cinematográfica de Até o dia em que o cão morreu
Authors: Grando Diego , Furtado Lucas
Published: June 2019

O presente artigo busca discutir o uso das ferramentas de linguagem nos livros de Daniel Galera e sua importância para a adaptação de diversas de suas obras para o cinema. Através de uma escrita que intenciona levar o leitor a uma imersão no universo da narrativa, o escritor vale-se de construções detalhadas de imagens e de uma descrição que engloba a percepção sensorial da personagem, a fim de que tal imersão se concretize. Além disso, o artigo pretende estudar o processo de adaptação de Até o dia em que o cão morreu para o filme Cão sem dono, de Beto Brant, com o objetivo de mostrar como o diretor conseguiu transpor para a linguagem audiovisual essa escrita sensorial.
Uma pausa para o cigarro: as interações com o cigarro no Spaghetti Western de Sergio Leone
Authors: Gomes Delson de Matos , Vadico Luiz Antonio
Published: June 2019

O silêncio no cinema possui diferentes nuances e peculiaridades o que o torna uma estrutura de difícil padronização. Seus potenciais semântico e dramático, entre outras características, permitem que a presença da imagem seja reforçada e elementos como o cigarro – o qual interessa a esta pesquisa – sejam sublinhados na estrutura narrativa. Em sua história, o cinema apropriou-se da imagem do cigarro construída pela publicidade e utilizou-a para compor seus diferentes personagens. Sergio Leone, um dos percursores do Spaghetti Western, foi um dos diretores que construiu seu cinema utilizando as interações de seus personagens com o cigarro através do silêncio cinematográfico, porém observa-se também a produção de subjetividades como resultados dessas interações. Nesse contexto, esta pesquisa busca discutir a presença do cigarro (cigarrilha) nos personagens do diretor e identificar a produção de significados, sentimentos e sensações a partir das interações comentadas. Esta análise utiliza os filmes da Trilogia dos Dólares de Leone:Por um Punhado de Dólares(1964), Por uns Dólares a Mais (1965) e Três Homens em Conflito(1966).
A polifonia de efeitos sonoros no sound design de Alan Splet
Authors: De Souza Fabiano Pereira
Published: June 2019

A obra do sound designer Alan Splet (1939-1994) indica como poucas a importância ainda a se reconhecer, acadêmica e criticamente, da edição de efeitos sonoros como um recurso de grande potencial expressivo no cinema. Este estudo aponta sua inovação em termos de linguagem cinematográfica, por meio de análise de seus filmes, comparação a obras anteriores com sobreposição de efeitos sonoros e referencial teórico do som. Explorando a detalhada e artesanal riqueza narrativa da polifonia de diferentes efeitos, Splet valorizou sonoridades abstratas, até em contraponto às imagens quando em sua parceria com David Lynch. Conforme pesquisadores e colegas de trabalho lembram, suas ambiências sonoras, que absorvem a atenção pela diversidade de combinações de efeitos, bem como o estranhamento do seu contraste entre elas e o que se vê na tela, tornam suas paisagens sonoras verdadeiros personagens das obras em que trabalhou.

Authors: Xia Tong-Qiang , Ren Hong-Yun , Li Hong , Du Chang-Kang
Published: June 2019

In this paper, we take the W2303 working face in Sihe mine, Shanxi Province, China as a project case, where it has been met with three thrust faults. The occurrence regularity of coal gas near the faults are studied, and the gas content around the faults are measured. The comprehensive measures of gas extraction are carried out, including the wear layer and in-seam kilometer directional feathery drilling combined with multi-branch technique. The gas threat around underground thrust faults is effectively eliminated. This technical engineering practice has a good guiding significance to other similar mining areas.

“Hacia qué patrias del silencio”. El patriotismo no ortodoxo de Juan José Saer.
Authors: Pluta Podleszanska Nina
Published: June 2019

La prosa de Juan José Saer fue inicialmente, a principios de los años 60. del s. XX, recibida por la crítica argentina como representativa para una corriente literaria surgida en la regiones del interior de este país y distanciada de los ambientes bonaerenses. Este artículo muestra cómo en la narrativa de Saer, escrita en su mayoría en la emigración, la lealtad emotiva hacia la región natal se hace premisa de una actitud que va más allá del regionalismo y  patriotismo tradicional.  Los personajes saerianos extienden sus experiencias primeras de percibir, captar y habitar el mundo, vinculadas con el paisaje natal, al universo entero. En el artículo se alegan conceptualizaciones del patriotismo acuñadas tanto por historiadores y filósofos, como por los teóricos que estudian el estatus “viajero” de la cultura, para llegar a una reformulación literaria, saeriana, del sentimiento patrio.
La amada roña. Memoria urbana en la obra de Franco
Authors: Lostra Agustín
Published: June 2019

Este es un ensayo sobre la obra del fotógrafocolombiano Fernell Franco (1942-2006)que surge a partir de su asociación con lasideas de memoria y de mugre. El análisisaborda cómo esta obra da cuenta de un procesosociohistórico que nos atraviesa comolatinoamericanos: el avance de un progresoeurocéntrico que desmantela las formaspropias de nuestras ciudades. Se verá laoposición entre un horizonte estético aséptico,ligado a las formas de opresión estéticahegemónicas, y un resguardo de lo mugrientocomo resistencia de lo que se echaal olvido por antiguo, por no productivo.
