A IDENTIDADE DA NAÇÃO NOS CONTOS DE LUÍS BERNARDO HONWANA, UNGULANI BA KA KHOSA E MIA COUTO
Authors: Marin Galharte Luana , Marques Duarte Carina
Published: September 2022

O objetivo deste artigo é verificar, a partir da análise de contos de escritores moçambicanos, em que medida a diegese é representativa da identidade da nação. Para tanto, selecionamos textos de Luís Bernardo Honwana, Ungulani Ba Ka Khosa e Mia e Couto e analisamos as categorias da narrativa, salientando o espaço e as relações entre as personagens. Foram de grande valia, em nosso percurso analítico, os postulados de Stuart Hall acerca da identidade. Os resultados indicam que, no conto Dina, a identidade do jovem do grupo do curral – símbolo da aquisição de consciência política – se constrói em oposição à do colonizador e à do moçambicano conformado com a dominação. Em Orgia dos loucos, o protagonista, após encontrar o filho, diz que eles estão mortos, expressando o sentimento de que viver naquela situação, durante a Guerra Civil, equivalia à morte em vida, de que a vida era terrível, um verdadeiro martírio. Já no conto Chuva, a abensonhada, de Mia Couto, o retorno da chuva e a saída do jovem com o velho indicam que, com o fim da guerra, era possível ter esperança na reconstrução. Entretanto, a edificação do futuro dependeria do sentido atribuído ao passado.
IMAGINÁRIO SOBRE O NEGRO NO FUTEBOL BRASILEIRO EM “O DRIBLE”
Authors: Rosas Ricardo
Published: September 2022

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar os reflexos que o imaginário em torno do negro provocam na leitura de seu papel no desenvolvimento do futebol brasileiro e em como o futebol é representado na literatura brasileira, a partir da leitura do romance O drible. Por mais que a literatura tenha se aproximado do social – no caso específico do Brasil com o modernismo e os seus desdobramentos --, um elemento popular (o futebol) não recebe, até os dias, a representação literária que aqui julgamos que seja digna. Buscando preencher este espaço, Sérgio Rodrigues escreve O drible, um romance cujo personagem principal é o futebol, tendo como pano de fundo o contexto histórico que assumiu, dentro do esporte, um papel de grande importância para o seu desenvolvimento em território brasileiro. Deste modo, buscar-se-á, através do romance, analisar e discutir sobre o imaginário construído em torno do negro no futebol brasileiro e a relação deste com a literatura.

Authors: Sidorov D. V.
Published: September 2022

The author analyzes the provisions of the Procedure for analyzing the state of competition in the commodity market, approved by order of the FAS of Russia dated 28.04.2010 No. 220, and comes to the conclusion that, that in accordance with the Procedure for Market Analysis Methods in retrospective and prospective periods do not differ from each other, despite the fact that the market in the retrospective period is characterized by actual indicators, and the market indicators of the prospective period should include forecast elements. In essence, these are different markets with different structures and prices. Failure to take into account the specifics of these markets, in particular, the requirement of the Procedure on the application of the hypothetical monopolist test in the analysis of the retrospective period market, leads to a decrease in the level of validity of the analysis and does not meet the requirement of irrefutability, arising from the rule of Part 4 of Art. 45.1 of the Law on Protection of Competition, according to which the results of the analysis of the state of competition conducted in order, established by the federal antimonopoly authority, refer to written evidence in the case.

The author concludes that it is necessary to make changes and additions to the Procedure that reflect the specifics of market analysis in the retrospective period.

An evaluation of vertical dynamic stress attenuation for compacted coarse-grained soils
Authors: SUN Kuangbiao , FANG Mingjing , SHU Donglin , PU Yang , WANG Wenbing
Published: September 2022

Coarse-grained soil (CGS), as a filler with the characteristics of high bearing capacity but difficult compaction for embankment construction, requires an appropriate thickness of a single compaction layer according to the influence depth of vertical dynamic stress. This paper used a numerical analysis using PFC2D following a scale model test with different particle gradations of compacted CGS fillers by adopting a modified PFWD. The results show that the influence depth is about 50 cm under the maximum impact stress of 0.066 MPa if defined the depth as the maximum stress attenuation to 20%. The compacted CGS filler with dense particle gradation and high strength has a rapid attenuation on vertical dynamic stress. Meanwhile, with the increase of stone content (P5, particle size ≥5 mm), the vertical dynamic stress of compacted CGS is attenuated exponentially. The maximum particle size also affects the attenuation of vertical dynamic stress, which needs further research. The findings support the development of non-destructive devices to inspect the compactness of subgrade construction rapidly.

Published: September 2022

The innovative solutions offered by integrating 3D printing technology in construction over the conventional practices have established its globally rising adoption in the construction industry. This study assessed the awareness, application, drivers, and barriers to adopting enhanced 3D printing technology for construction to enhance faster and more sustainable construction processes. The study adopted a quantitative descriptive analysis which was based on primary data. The primary data were obtained using structured questionnaires self-administered to construction firms/contractors in Lagos State, Nigeria. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study established that the awareness and application levels of the technology are still deficient, as the vast majority (80.8%) of the firms who had an awareness of the technology in the study area acquired it through personal research and professional dialogue, rather than through the practical application of the technology. This finding showed that 3DP technology is a new construction option in the study area. The findings showed statistically significant differences among the drivers (0.039≤ p ≤0.017) for the adoption of 3D printing technology, which is influenced by the client’s demand and desire. The study further established that inadequate power source is a significant limiting factor to adopting 3D printing in the study area. Implications are indicated by the findings on the technology drivers and barriers that could help the construction industry in developing countries towards capability improvement for better adoption of 3D printing innovation and enhanced sustainable construction process.

Published: September 2022

Fiber-reinforced polymer composites are well-studied and established products, and today they are being used in different industrial and non-industrial areas. However, the increased interest in recyclability and the concerns about climate change caused materials scientists to look for a non-petroleum-based alternative to synthetic fibers and polymers. Since the beginning of this century, natural fibers and biopolymers have attracted increasing interest each year for composite applications. Thanks to this interest, studies on natural fibers and biopolymers have increased significantly. Despite the high number of studies on natural fibers and natural fiber-reinforced polymers (NFRP), there are gaps in the literature. This work reviews studies on natural fibers, biopolymers, and biocomposites with their advantages, disadvantages, and limitations. Studies that focus on the ways to reduce or eliminate these disadvantages and limitations have also been looked at. Also, current challenges and future perspectives for natural fibers, biopolymers, and NFRPs have been discussed.

CALCULATIONS OF THE SPUTTERING YIELD OF SOME ELEMENTS WHEN BOMBARDED WITH NITROGEN IONS
Authors: ABD ALI Fatema Saleem
Published: September 2022

Expanded calculations of the objective sputtering process were completed(Copper, Zinc, Silver, Cesium, Barium) bombarded with nitrogen ions, the calculations were included changing the input parameters for the energy of nitrogen ions and their incidence angle of the target. The program has employed TRIM to perform these calculations. The sputtering yield is directly dependent on these parameters, as changing the incidence angles of the nitrogen ion beam and its energy lead to a tangible change in the output of the perfusion yield. With regard to the target in terms of the thickness of its bombarded layer by proving the parameters of the ions have a direct effect on the atomization yield. The input parameters of the falling ion beam were changed as well as the target to see how they affect the sputtering yield. We found in this study that the best angles of incidence for these ions are when they are close to the angle of 800 and that the higher the energy of the falling ions, the greater the sputtering yield.

The effect of water extract of the shade-dried gall of Quercus on wound healing was investigated using incision wound models at dose level of 300 mg/kg. Our study applied on 16 male rabbits classified to 2 groups: Control group (treated by application of normal saline directly on the wound once daily), Q. extract treated group (received direct application of 300 mg/kg of extract onto the skin once a day) each group subdivided to 2 subgroup 7 and 14 days treatment each one have 4 animals. Wounds healing score, macroscopic and histologic examination were performed to determine the substantial favorable effect of the extract on wound healing. The plant showed a definite, positive effect on wound healing by showing considerable progress in healing (P < 0.05) and in characteristics such as wound healing score, the experimental group outperformed the control group. Wound healing was also improved in histopathological examinations with a significant increase in the granuloma tissue, which exhibited the capacity to improve the process of wound healing in treated rabbits with extensive re-epithelialization, collagen deposition, and cellular infiltration as comparison with non-treated group. Quercus could be a potential alternative treatment for wounds, according to this study.

Dermatophyte infection of the human is difficult to eradicate with drug treatment. An alternative approach to treat dermatophytes might be the application of biological control agents against fungal diseases. Trichoderma spp, were isolated from the soil in Adana province of Turkey. 4 species were identified based on DNA-ITS and ITS4 sequence. T. viride, T. virens, T. harzianum and T. lixii. We tested Trichoderma species against Trichophyton tonsurans and Microsporum canis. All isolates of Trichoderma showed promising results in reducing the growth of pathogens under in vitro conditions, with different concentrations and dual culture assay. However, antagonistic assessment of isolates of Trichoderma against pathogens T.tonsurans and M.canis by concentrations assay (5,10 and 15 ml/L) showed variation in inhibition of pathogens. The colony diameter growth values ranging in all concentrations and isolates from 0.46 to 5.40 cm, The best antifungal concentration was (15 ml/L) with T. harzianum isolate in inhibition for T. tonsurans and M. canis, which reached 0.50 and 0.46 cm respectively. For dual culture assay showed that all isolates of Trichoderma reduced growth T.tonsurans and M.canis. Moreover, the highest inhibition with T. harzianum isolate Which colony diameter reached 1.34 and 1.50 cm, respectively.

Published: September 2022

In this paper, five objective measures of the quality of speech signals distorted by reverberation are compared with the Speech Transmission Index (STI). The main aim of the comparison is to further test and explain the reasons for the previously discovered phenomenon of an increase in the speech quality and intelligibility with increasing room size. The comparison is performed for three university classrooms of small, medium and large sizes. The correlation coefficients between the quality and intelligibility estimates of speech obtained for 5-6 points of each room are estimated. Speech signal quality is assessed using intrusive measures such as segmental signal-to-noise ratio (SSNR), log-spectral distortion (LSD), frequency-weighted segmental signal-to-noise ratio (FWSNR), bark spectral distortion (BSD), and perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ). For BSD, high correlation coefficients (0.57-0.99) are determined for rooms of all sizes and an increase in the correlation coefficient with the room size increase is found, which can be explained by a decrease in the density of early sound reflections. For FWSNR, high correlation (0.65-0.98) is determined for medium and large rooms. For PESQ, high correlation (0.96-0.99) is obtained for large classroom. SSNR and LSD are found to be uncorrelated with STI for rooms of all sizes.
The Sharing Economy is an Alternative Capitalism
Authors: Huang Yu
Published: September 2022

People address that sharing economy means to share and utilize idle resources effectively and create a better functioning economy. The shortcoming is that sharing economy must assume the economic risks, that is, leading to rapidly decreasing employment. However, this article argues that sharing economy has potential to lead to an alternative capitalist model because its goal is profit and the means are a form of capitalism; capital does not own possession in this sharing economic model, but the workers contribute their resources as possession to make profit.
The Inequality of Preschool Enrollment in China： A Narrative Review
Authors: Xie Yunli
Published: September 2022

This narrative review identified and compared previous research information to evaluate the inequality of preschool enrollment. Based on three leading questions, this review identified household registration categories, family income, and parents' education level as sensitive, definite, and solid predictors of preschool enrollment inequality. Moreover, an ecological model covering multilevel analysis will surpass the limitations of past empirical studies that did not uncover the profound structural barriers. Future empirical research needs to test whether 5A1Q are effective indicators to disclose the intricate reasons for inequality in a multilevel model.
The Development Status and Improvement Strategies of Chinese Rural Wellness Tourism Based on Social Psychology
Authors: Peng Lei
Published: September 2022

China has a vast territory, and the vast rural areas have very rich tourism resources. Rural health tourism not only effectively promotes the development of rural economy, but also aims at the problems existing in the development of rural health vacation tourism. However, only on the basis of rational development of natural tourism resources can we better meet the needs of consumers.Social psychology can guide social groups to make rational use of natural resources and green consumption through various forms, and reasonably develop rural recuperation and vacation tourism. From the perspective of social psychology, this paper discusses whether people can effectively and reasonably use natural resources, green consumption and reasonable development of resources.Take market development as the important guidance and government policy support as the important support, give play to the core role of health culture resources, promote the in-depth integration of rural tourism resources, and escort the healthy and sustainable development of rural medical care and holiday tourism.

La imagen como forma de (des)conocimiento en la era del deepfake
Authors: León-Mendoza Raúl
Published: September 2022

Las máquinas que producen deepfakes no necesitan del mundo real para producir representaciones verosímiles. Esto debería producir la crisis del viejo contrato de veridicción que mantenemos con las imágenes. La irrupción del deepfake convierte la totalidad de las imágenes en materiales para una agencia artística. Sin embargo, instituciones como la justicia mantienen la confianza en la imagen como dispositivo de conocimiento. En un contexto social de profunda sospecha sobre cualquier tipo de representación, la imagen aún se utiliza para determinar lo verdadero y lo falso. Desde la aparición del deepfake se suceden medidas y contramedidas, cada vez más dependientes de la inteligencia artificial, destinadas a seguir manteniendo a las imágenes como parte del aparato epistemológico que empleamos para conocer el mundo.En este artículo, a través de diferentes estudios de caso, bibliografía y documentos relevantes sobre el tema, se traza una línea sobre el esfuerzo por comprobar la autenticidad de las imágenes como representaciones fieles de la realidad. Esta línea une las viejas fake pictures, con el nuevo fenómeno del deepfake. Concluimos cuestionándonos si las imágenes no son ya sólo un simple reflejo de nuestros deseos de ver, al tiempo que hemos abandonado y entregado totalmente a las máquinas nuestro aparato crítico de determinación de la verdad. En este contexto, lo que es real se dirime en una conversación en entre máquinas (GAN) por su apariencia verosímil, pero no por su contenido.
Cultura, resistencia y representación visual de los Afro en Cartagena de Indias
Authors: Gómez Galeano Carlos Arturo
Published: September 2022

Cultura, resistencia y representación visual de los Afro en Cartagena, es un artículo que describe, analiza y explica las obras visuales de los artistas plásticos; Adalberto Jiménez y Mario Zabaleta.  En este se hace referencia a sus obras y a los temas que ellos tratan, partiendo de su pensamiento y posición frente a su condición afrodescendiente. De este modo, el artículo muestra como se ve reflejada su marca identitaria en sus piezas artísticas, en su vida cotidiana dentro y fuera de Colombia. Así mismo, en este texto se aborda, la representación visual y la situación histórica de las poblaciones “negras” en Colombia y la noción sociológica de “invisibilidad”. Igualmente, se describe a los artistas en su condición de creadores y sujetos sociales, su inserción en la cultura popular y universal y en el gremio profesional del que hacen parte. Los artistas investigados, desde su autonomía a través de propuestas plásticas hacen denuncia social y resistencia política, no desde la etnicidad afro, sino como ciudadanos que se ven afectados por todas las formas de discriminación y con las políticas que promueven lo etno-racial como la única manera posible de lograr el empoderamiento del afrodescendiente.
Sistema híbrido inteligente para el control y operación de un convertidor elevador en modo Soft-Switching
Authors: Fernandez-Serantes Luis Alfonso , Casteleiro-Roca Jose Luis , Calvo-Rolle Jose Luis
Published: September 2022

En este trabajo de investigación se presenta una estrategia de control inteligente implementada en un convertidor elevador con topología de medio puente. El sistema se usa para asegurar que el convertidor funcione en modo "Soft-Switching". El primer paso es realizar el análisis del convertidor de potencia, mostrando los dos posibles modos de funcionamiento: "Hard-Switching" y "Soft-Switching". Posteriormente se implementa un modelo inteligente con el fin de identificar el modo de funcionamiento del convertidor. Este modelo se basa en un algoritmo de clasificación mediante técnicas inteligentes que es capaz de diferenciar entre los dos modos de funcionamiento. Se han obtenido muy buenos resultados de clasificación y una alta precisión, permitiendo la implementación del modelo en la estrategia de control del convertidor. La implementacion de este sistema permite asegurar  que el convertidor funcione en el modo deseado: modo "Soft-Switching".
