Authors: Castro César Antunes Gomes de
Published: July 2024

Este estudo examina as intersecções entre fé, violência e identidade no contexto da homotransafetividade no Brasil. Apesar da diversidade cultural e religiosa do país, a violência contra indivíduos LGBT+ persiste, revelando tensões entre princípios democráticos e interpretações religiosas conservadoras. A pesquisa analisa como certas interpretações da fé cristã são utilizadas para justificar a homotransfobia, considerando a historicidade da crueldade validada pela fé. Utilizando uma metodologia qualitativa e interdisciplinar, o estudo explora as narrativas religiosas que perpetuam a discriminação, examinando a manifestação da hegemonia heteronormativa no discurso religioso e nas práticas sociais brasileiras. A análise revela que a omissão social e a interpretação fundamentalista de textos sagrados contribuem para a marginalização e violência contra a comunidade LGBT+. O estudo conclui que a construção de uma sociedade inclusiva requer um esforço coletivo para desafiar preconceitos enraizados, promover o diálogo inter-religioso e estabelecer políticas que garantam igualdade de direitos, independentemente da orientação sexual ou identidade de gênero.

Near-real-time biomonitoring, especially when utilizing enzyme assays, offers exceptional sensitivity to bioavailable pollutants, yielding swift results favorable to immediate action. This approach is particularly crucial in the context of mitigating pollution in drinking water systems, safeguarding both human and animal health. This study presents an application of a previously developed enzyme assay in biomonitoring to detect pollutants, specifically heavy metals, in environmental samples from the UNESCO’s Kilim Karst Geoforest Park. Utilizing the ficin dye binding assay, developed for mercury (Hg2+), silver (Ag+), and copper (Cu2+) detection at the sub ppm level, we demonstrated its effectiveness in identifying low concentrations of these metals in marine and brackish waters. The assay provided a sensitive, rapid, and cost-effective monitoring, showing negligible inhibition (<10%) over a 6-hour field trial, indicating low pollution levels and verified using instrumental analysis. This approach enables the early detection of environmental contaminants, facilitating timely interventions and contributing to the protection of ecotourism sites by providing evidence-based data for policymaking. The simplicity and visual appeal of the enzyme assays also make them excellent educational tools, promoting environmental awareness and conservation efforts. Our findings underscore the potential of enzyme assays for widespread environmental assessment, aligning local monitoring practices with international standards and fostering global collaboration in environmental protection. This study not only contributes to our understanding of ecological health in marine and brackish waters but also highlights the importance of continuous monitoring to preserve natural habitats.

Authors: J Bhoomika , B S Nagesh
Published: July 2024

Abstract—Developing systems that can automatically recognize and interpret human emotions from facial expressions is the aim of the quickly expanding field of facial emotion identification and detection research. This technology finds applications in a wide range of areas, including as healthcare, marketing, security, and human-computer interface. Using computer vision and machine learning algorithms, facial emotion recognition systems analyze a face’s features and classify it into numerous emotional categories, including joyful, sorrowful, angry, fearful, and surprised.The three steps in the multi-step process that goes into identifying facial emotions are face detection, facial feature extraction, and emotion categorization. Thanks to recent advances in deep learn- ing, facial emotion detection systems can now identify emotions with high resilience and precision. Further, the development of real-time face expression recognition systems has opened up new avenues for applications such as sentiment analysis, emotional intelligence, and affective computing. This technology could fundamentally alter human-machine interactions and open the way to more compassionate and personalized relationships.A multitude of applications, including virtual assistants, mental health aids, and human-centered technology, will be greatly impacted by the development of systems for identifying and de- tecting facial expressions. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies that recognize emotions allow people to interact with the digital world in more intelligent and flexible ways. But the complexity of emotion identification lies in the fact that it requires context and geometric elements in addition to facial expressions.

Published: July 2024

The evolution of design systems has undergone a transformative shift towards entity-based frameworks. These systems represent a paradigmatic departure from traditional design approaches by structuring design elements around modular, reusable components known as entities. This study examines the elements that affect entity-based design system effectiveness and its effects on computer-related sectors. The study examines how creative product design, cognitive ergonomics, and big data-driven interfaces affect system efficacy. The study also examines how information processing efficiency mediates and technology infrastructure moderates the relationship between design elements and system results. Data was collected from 254 Chinese design system specialists and practitioners using quantitative methods. Participants' design, technology, and system efficacy perceptions were assessed using a standardized questionnaire. AMOS was used for mediation and moderation analyses to evaluate study hypotheses and examine variable correlations. This study found strong correlations between design elements, technology capabilities, and entity-based design system efficacy. Innovative product design, cognitive ergonomics, and big data-driven interfaces had an impact on system results, both individually and together. Information processing efficiency was a key mediator, while technology infrastructure moderated system efficacy. This study adds to the literature by revealing the complex elements that affect entity-based design systems in computer-related sectors. The study improves our theoretical understanding of design systems by investigating the relationship between design factors, technology capabilities, and system results. It also offers practical advice for organizations looking to improve their design processes and user experiences.

Authors: Green Barry D. , Blatner Keith A.
Published: July 2024

The objective of this work was the development of a framework for assessing just compensation for environmental damage on a single mine site. Previously, the models applied in this work have only been used at the national or regional level. As a result, a sustainable extraction rate was calculated for a single mine site in Potosi, Bolivia for a mixed mine (zinc, lead, and silver). By using an interdisciplinary approach, a dollar value was assessed for environmental damages for a period of years. These were compared to the profitability of the mine with the result being an estimation of the quantity of mining rents that should be reinvested in social and infrastructure capital. This approach assumed that economic development does not exclude environmental protection and may aid in policy decisions at the local level benefiting the longevity of the economy.

Authors: Almohaimeed Noorah A.
Published: July 2024

This study investigates the use of negation markers in the Qassimi Arabic (QA), a variety of Najdi Arabic, spoken in central-north Saudi Arabia. Employing a qualitative approach, we observed the speech patterns of 28 Qassimi speakers (14 male, 14 female; ages 28–34). The local negators Muhub/Mub were used by 39% of males but only 12.4% of females. Conversely, the supralocal negator Mu was used by all females (35.6%) and a smaller portion of males (12.9%). These findings highlight gender differences in negation marker preference within the Qassim dialect. The study aims to improve communication between genders and encourage broader understanding of linguistic variation in Najdi Arabic.

Authors: Amitbhai Pate Harshal
Published: July 2024

Diuretics are a class of medication used to treat a variety of conditions, including heart failure, high blood pressure, glaucoma, liver and kidney disease, and fluid accumulation in the body. Physicians have been using them for many years; they are available in several forms, including potassium-sparing diuretics, thiazides, loop diuretics, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, osmotic diuretics, and natural diuretics. On the other hand, frequent use of these diuretics may have some adverse effects. An electrolyte imbalance, blood pressure fluctuations, and treating disorders associated with fluid accumulation in the body are some examples of these side effects. In order to effectively manage a variety of medical disorders, healthcare practitioners must be aware of the proper use of diuretics and the significance of inducing diuresis, or the removal of excess fluid from the body. Healthcare practitioners can select the best courses of action and therapies for their patients by being knowledgeable about diuretics and how they function. Individuals can also make educated choices regarding the amount of fluids they consume, lifestyle modifications, and drugs to aid with diuresis and enhance their general health. This review article succinctly discusses the various applications for diuretics as well as any possible risks associated with encouraging diuresis.

Authors: Raman Ramendra
Published: July 2024

Thyroid dysfunction may exacerbate the systemic inflammatory condition known as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this cross-sectional study, 53 patients' thyroid function tests (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH), Free T4, Free T3) and RA activity scores (including the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) and Disease Activity Score-28 (DAS28)) were correlated with lifestyle variables including smoking, alcohol consumption, and physical activity. Results indicate that TSH levels and RA severity are strongly positively correlated (correlation coefficients: 0.85 for HAQ and 0.89 for DAS28); on the other hand, levels of Free T4 and Free T3 were negatively correlated with RA severity. With just one case of overt hypothyroidism, the bulk of the sample (87%) received a diagnosis of hypothyroidism, most of it subclinical. These results emphasize the need of include thyroid function monitoring into RA treatment plans and imply that lifestyle variables as well as thyroid hormone levels should be taken into account in the all-encompassing care of RA patients.
Cross-Linguistic Lacunarity: Integration of Theoretical Linguo-Cultural Knowledge and L2 & C2 Competence Development
Authors: Szerszunowicz Joanna
Published: July 2024

Learning a foreign language involves not only being faced with another language, but also with a different culture. Therefore, adopting a linguo-cultural perspective is a prerequisite to proper developing a learner’s competence foreign language (L2) and foreign culture (C2). The L2 and C2 aspects not represented in one’s own language (L1) and one’s own culture (C1) create the sphere of lacunarity (linguistic and cultural gaps) in L2 learners, observed on various planes, e.g. in lexis, syntax, genres, gestures etc. From a teaching perspective, the introduction of the notion of lacunae increases the learner’s linguo-cultural awareness, preparing the student to expect lacunae in L2 and C2 and to be conscious of gaps in L1 and C1 from the perspective of L2 and C2 users. The presentation of the notion of lacunarity broadens learners’ theoretical knowledge with vital practical implications since it enables students to develop strategies how to deal with lacunae.

O presente estudo parte da seguinte questão de pesquisa: que perspectivas são apontadas por Platão envolvendo a música como intuito de fomentar a educação? Nesse aspecto, o filósofo emana um legado que desencadeiam diversas reflexões no campo da Filosofia, envolvendo a estética, ética abrindo espaço para a música como promissor campo educativo. Dessa forma, o objetivo desvela-se em promover reflexões acerca do conceito de música, sua relação com a Filosofia, arte, ética e educação com base na obra A República de Platão. A metodologia utilizada pautou-se na abordagem qualitativa, com busca bibliográfica, em fonte primária, no livro: A República de Platão, além de fontes secundárias, como artigos, dissertações e teses presentes em banco de dados de grande circulação. Os resultados e discussões apresentados apontam que a educação pode edificar o cidadão e tem na função da música, a ação pedagógica, que sensibiliza através do ritmo, harmonia, temperança resultando em condições propicias para o ensino e aprendizagem. Portanto, a percepção elencada pelo estudo provoca reflexões em torno das estratégias em torno da música, como arte, que pode desencadear bons resultados, com destaque para os seguintes elementos: a música mobiliza a emoção plena, perpassando pela alma, promovendo harmonia, ritmo e temperança. Portanto, percebe-se a construção de equilíbrio em um estado de bem-estar, concentração e desenvolvimento do raciocínio.
JOSÉ GUILHERME PEIXOTO BARBOSA, PROTAGONISTA DO MMM NO ESTADO DO RIO DE JANEIRO (1960-1980): suas contribuições para implementação e circulação das ideias modernistas
Authors: França Denise Medina , Tramontano Armando F.
Published: July 2024

O artigo busca identificar condições que permitiram ao professor José Guilherme Peixoto Barbosa divulgar as ideias de Zoltan P. Dienes no estado do Rio de Janeiro, nas décadas de 1960 e 1970, durante a vigência do Movimento da Matemática Moderna (MMM). Para isso, traça-se sua trajetória a fim de entender a circulação das ideias modernistas na região. Para a análise, utiliza-se entrevistas parcialmente estruturadas, conforme Gil (2002), entrecruzadas com outras diferentes fontes, como dissertações, teses, material do acervo de Barbosa e documentos curriculares. Conclui-se que Barbosa é reconhecido como uma figura central na Educação Matemática carioca. Ele, inicialmente, promoveu as ideias de Georges Papy e, posteriormente, enfocou as de Zoltan Dienes, incorporando-as em suas aulas e cursos de formação de professores. Seu perfil multifacetado possibilitou sua circulação em diferentes instâncias, construindo uma rede de conexões com protagonistas envolvidos na divulgação do movimento de renovação do ensino, como Augusto César Morgado, José Paulo Carneiro, Lauro de Oliveira Lima e Circe Navarro Ribas. Essas conexões levaram a convites para ocupar cargos influentes no estado, nos quais pôde implementar suas ideias na Reformulação Curricular.
Supercapacitive performance of self-assembled thin film of liquid catocene/basal plane pyrolytic graphite electrode

Published: July 2024

Reasonable design of electrode material with low cost, lightweight, and excellent electrochemical properties is of great significance for future large-scale energy storage applications. Herein, we report the electrochemical and supercapacitive behaviour of the liquid redox of catocene, 2,2’-bis(ethyl-ferroceneyl) propane, self-assembled on a basal plane pyrolitic graphite electrode in comparison to the solid ferrocene thin film in aqueous sodium sulfate electrolyte. The modified electrode surfaces were evaluated to assess the iron content and the formation of thin film using scanning electron microscopy, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, and attenuated total reflectance method. Also, the supercapacitive performances of the related modified electrodes were assessed and compared using cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge in a three-electrode system and an asymmetric two-electrode supercapacitor system. Electro­chemical results showed that the electrode processes are diffusion-controlled with battery-like behaviour, and the liquid catocene exhibits more effective interaction with the graphite surface in comparison to solid ferrocene. The catocene surface coverage on graphite is nearly 50-75 % higher than ferrocene, leading to improved interaction and charge transfer resistance, observed in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy studies. In galvanostatic charge-discharge evaluations, the supercapacitor based on catocene modified electrode shows a specific capacitance of 141.2 F g-1 at a current density of 1.0 A g-1, with a specific energy density of 56.7 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 2.9 kW kg-1.
To anticipate the bankruptcy of Baoshang Bank based on CAMELS rating system
Authors: Song Lina , Shah Md Shahbudin Amirul
Published: July 2024

On 7 February 2021, the Baoshang Bank was declared bankrupt, which raised concerns about the sustainability of the Chinese financial system. This study intends to assess the usefulness of the CAMELS system in predicting the bankruptcy of Chinese banks and reach the causes of the bank collapse according to the system. The findings reveal that the CAMELS framework could be able to predict the bankruptcy of Baoshang Bank, and that the asset emptying of Baoshang Bank by Tomorrow Group is the bank’s primary cause of insolvency. The supervisory authorities should have also realised that Baoshang Bank was showing multiple indicators of collapse and taken strong measures to prevent the bank’s bankruptcy. This paper contributes to the current literature on bank failure and predictive models by employing the CAMELS model. Additionally, regulatory authorities are interested in forecasting bank failure so that they can intervene in the crisis.
The good, the bad or the ugly: financialization through heterodox and mainstream lenses
Authors: Marszałek Paweł , Szarzec Katarzyna
Published: July 2024

Since the late 1970s, heterodox economists have paid increasing attention to the phenomenon of financialization. However, the process, identified with the growing role of finance in the economy, as well as with its impact on the social, cultural and environmental aspects of society, was rather neglected in the mainstream economics. Despite its growing importance in the subsequent years – mainly due to the global financial crisis 2007–2009 – financialization still eludes unambiguous interpretation. The aim of the article is to identify and explain the differences in the perception of financialization between heterodox and mainstream economics. We add to the existing literature by making a clear distinction between the ways in which heterodox and mainstream economists understand and interpret financialization. We find that the main source of the different approaches to financialization are oversimplifications in the understanding and modelling of monetary and financial spheres in the mainstream analyses.
The relationship between payment inclusion and the demand for cash
Authors: Skibińska-Fabrowska Ilona , Czuchryta Małgorzata , Żak Adrian
Published: July 2024

The aim of the article is to identify the existence of a relationship between payment inclusion and the demand for cash and the impact of the behavioural factor, which is the uncertainty associated with a natural disaster (pandemic) on various streams of demand for cash. The authors formulated the following research hypotheses H1: Macroeconomic determinants in the form of the cost of money (represented by the interest rate) significantly affect the transaction demand for cash despite the increase in non-cash transactions with the use of funds in bank accounts. H2: Uncertainty as a behavioural factor affects the size of the demand for money, although this impact is more significant in the case of a demand of a precautionary nature than of a transaction nature. H3: The level of financial inclusion measured by the dissemination of non-cash transactions has a significant and negative impact on the transaction demand for cash. In order to verify them, the authors built a linear regression model. The obtained results of the study allowed to confirm the impact of uncertainty on the demand for cash. However, the impact of payment inclusion on the demand for cash was not confirmed in the study.
