Authors: Sousa Jhonnatas dos Santos , Alves Alcione Correa , Fronza Cristiane Viana da Silva
Published: July 2024

Este estudo buscou, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, satisfazer o objetivo de relacionar a experiência de quebra do horizonte de expectativas – sobre obras de mulheres negras caribenhas – ao conceito de estereótipo, discutido por Homi K. Bhabha. Especificamente, pretendeu-se refletir sobre o horizonte de expectativas e a experiência do leitor; compreender o conceito de estereótipo por Homi K. Bhabha; e por fim, associar o conceito de estereótipo à experiência de quebra do horizonte de expectativas sobre as literaturas de mulheres negras caribenhas. Esta pesquisa justifica-se à medida que as discussões são capazes de gerar reflexões acerca dos sistemas de manutenção dos lugares de dominação presentes na sociedade. Para o embasamento teórico, dentre outros, utilizou-se Lélia Gonzalez (2020), Grada Kilomba (2019), Winnie Bueno (2020a) e o autor Bhabha (2013). Concluiu-se ser possível trabalhar a compreensão acerca do horizonte de expectativas e como a experiência do leitor nos ajuda a ler autoras negras, além de identificar experiências de subordinação empregadas a essas sujeitas. Foi possível entender a experiência de quebra do horizonte de expectativas sobre as literaturas de mulheres negras, compreendendo que o estereótipo possui o poder de modificar nossa concepção literária. A quebra de horizonte sobre autoras racializadas é um plano de fundo para entender que a perspectiva racial e de gênero está relacionada ao discurso discriminatório, o qual é fortalecido pela estratégia do estereótipo. Esse entendimento nos auxilia na compreensão de como lemos e interpretamos autoras negras.

Institutionelle Konsequenzen des Parteiensystemwandels in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland
Authors: Best Volker
Published: July 2024

The German party system has changed profoundly in recent decades . This has implications for the functioning of democratic institutions . The effects are almost entirely negative: gov- ernment formation has become more difficult, the opposition has been split and weakened, the government’s power within the “second chamber” Bundesrat has dwindled, and the electoral system as well as representative democracy in general have suffered a decrease in standing and legitimacy; even the Federal Supreme Court is in danger of degenerating into a representative body . Positive consequences have only occurred for the Federal President . The overall picture is thus clearly marked by a loss of functions .

Authors: Pulumati Anika , Lin Rachel , Elman Scott
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Systemic sclerosis, also known as scleroderma, is a chronic disease marked by autoimmune-mediated damage to connective tissues leading to vascular damage, tissue injury, and fibrosis. Effective treatment for this condition has remained difficult; however, a promising therapeutic option for patients with systemic sclerosis has emerged as hyaluronidase. Objectives: We conducted a systemic review of the available literature to describe the therapeutic usage of hyaluronidase in systemic sclerosis. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive review on PubMed and Embase, using the terms: “hyaluronidase" AND "scleroderma," as well as “hyaluronidase” AND “systemic sclerosis.” Our criteria for inclusion were English-written articles published between 2013 and 2023. Only studies conducted on human subjects or in vitro on human cell lines were included. We excluded articles that did not discuss therapeutic use as well as articles that focused on medical conditions other than systemic sclerosis. Results: Ten articles were included in our review. Overall, intradermal hyaluronidase showed improvement in systemic sclerosis-associated microstomia via increased oral aperture with minimal side effects. Treatment protocol and outcome measured differed per case, however, multiple rounds of injections were necessary in all treatment courses. In some studies, a plateauing effect for hyaluronidase was seen after 3-5 months of injections. Conclusion: Case studies and case series have demonstrated hyaluronidase’s effectiveness in treating systemic sclerosis-associated microstomia, however, more research using larger sample sizes, standardized protocols, and specific outcomes such be conducted.

Background: Few studies have explored the intricate connections between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms, VDR, tight junction (TJ) protein expression and clinical features of atopic dermatitis (AD). Methods: From 43 adult AD patients, VDR polymorphisms were genotyped from peripheral blood samples using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. VDR, occludin, claudin-1 and ZO-1 protein expression from skin lesion biopsies were assessed by immunohistochemistry. Results: The A1012G heterozygous VDR polymorphism exhibited a lower odds ratio (OR) for juvenile AD onset (OR: 0.046, 95% CI 0.004-0.51, p=0.012). In contrast, the presence of ≥2 homozygous VDR polymorphisms were significantly associated with positive skin prick test (SPT) (10/20, 50%) vs. negative SPT (1/23, 4.3%; p=0.0003). The most highly expressed TJ proteins in lesions of AD patients were claudin-1 and ZO-1, while VDR and occludin were less prevalent. A significant correlation was observed between ZO-1 expression and a body mass index ≥30 kg/m2 (OR: 12.1, 95% CI 1.06-137.9, p=0.045). Claudin-1 expression was associated with a positive SPT (OR: 8.23, 95% CI 1.04-65.5, p=0.046) and serum 25(OH)D levels were negatively correlated with ZO-1 expression (rho= -0.43, p=0.0058). Conclusion: This study provides novel insights into the relationship between VDR gene polymorphisms, VDR, TJ protein expression, and clinical features in adult AD patients, highlighting a significant role of vitamin D in the pathophysiology of this disease.
Taking It Not at Face Value
Authors: Iizuka Shun ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: July 2024

One of the central questions in the epistemology of conversational AIs is how to classify the beliefs acquired from them. Two promising candidates are instrument-based and testimony-based beliefs. However, the category of instrument-based beliefs faces an intrinsic problem, and a challenge arises in its application. On the other hand, relying solely on the category of testimony-based beliefs does not encompass the totality of our practice of using conversational AIs. To address these limitations, I propose a novel classification of beliefs that shifts the focus from the properties of the conversational AIs themselves to how recipients perceive AI output, specifically whether they take the output at face value. The proposed categories are beliefs by regarding as instruments and beliefs by regarding as testifiers. By using these complementary categories, a more comprehensive understanding of beliefs acquired from conversational AIs can be achieved while avoiding the problems associated with the traditional classification.

Published: July 2024

La conceptualización de los modelos matemáticos es una tarea difícil para los profesionales sanitarios que se dedican a tareas clínicas. Uno de los más utilizados es la regresión logística binaria (RLB). Nuestro objetivo en este artículo es tratar de acercar y de hacer comprender a los clínicos, la historia, el substrato matemático y la utilidad predictiva de la RLB. La función logística no es más que un modelo lineal, en el que a diferencia de la ecuación de la recta, la variable resultado es el logaritmo natural de una odds ratio observada, y las variables predictoras poseen unos coeficientes “ β ”   que también son los logaritmos naturales de las odds ratio observadas en el trabajo científico que estemos llevando a cabo. La función logística se adapta muy bien a fenómenos clínico-biológicos, por ejemplo, la aparición de la epidemia de SIDA en los Estados Unidos de América o la curva de disociación de la hemoglobina. Cuando el ordenador nos ofrece los valores de los coeficientes para nuestras variables predictoras, nos está dando una función de tipo logístico que nos permite predecir si las observaciones futuras van a poder ser clasificadas en una u otra categoría de la variable resultado binaria. Cada modelo de RLB tiene su equivalente en un área bajo la Curva ROC determinada (Teoría de las Pruebas diagnósticas). Cuando generamos un diagnóstico médico o enfermero, realmente estamos aplicando un modelo de RLB. En Framingham se utilizaron por primera vez dentro de la investigación epidemiológica.

Published: July 2024

The major objective of the study was to examine factors that determined private commercial bank profitability in Ethiopia by using panel data of thirteen private commercial banks from year 2010 to 2021. The study used random effect multiple linear regressions models to investigate factors that determine the profitability of private commercial banks. To obtain information relevant to the study, secondary data especially annual audited financial statement of banks was used. Besides, in the study only thirteen  private commercial banks purposively selected sample from this population due to the availability of 12 years’ data. The findings of the study reveals that management efficiency and loan to deposit ratio have statistically significant and positive relationship with banks’ profitability. On the other hand, variables like liquidity have a negative and statistically significant relationship with banks’ profitability. Conversely, the relationship for funding cost, gross domestic product and inflation rate is found to be positive and statistically insignificant. Therefore, it is recommended that private commercial banks should increase the statutory minimum reserves of capital which a bank or other financial institution must have available (capital adequacy), diversify their types of deposits, increase their size by increasing the number of branches and network

Published: July 2024

The main duty of an educator is to facilitate the process of education. However, it is vital to acknowledge that teachers are involved in several activities and assume various tasks. In addition to disseminating essential information to their students, educators are also tasked with the duty of effectively managing a varied range of student characteristics and behaviors. Therefore, it is a matter of worry when educators exhibit a deficiency in the requisite abilities to adequately facilitate student learning and possess inadequate understanding in the domain of psychological pedagogy. Acquiring information and understanding of the fundamental variables that contribute to the variability in students' behavior is an essential strategy for educators to effectively provide assistance and instruction to their students. This article next highlights significant factors that contribute to the fundamental causes of pupils' behavioral patterns. Furthermore, it emphasizes the need for educators to have a thorough comprehension of the fundamental factors contributing to students' conduct, with the aim of augmenting their efficacy in the field of instruction.

However, this ability only sometimes leads to theforeign language anxiety (FLA). The study aims to analyze the counter-effect of enjoyment of a foreign language (FLE) on the relationship between anxiety and the acquisition of English as a foreign language among university students. A quantitative research method is used to identify the relationship between foreign languages and anxiety. The expected results shown negative impact of enjoyment of a foreign language on anxiety, a negative impact of acquiring a foreign language(AFL) on anxiety, and a positive relationship between FLE and efficiency. The expected findings posited that anxiety is a negative emotion in psychology as it destroys students’ mental health to learn a foreign language. On the other hand, positive emotions contribute to student well-being and increase student motivation and the learning language process.
A representificação do ausente em O corpo interminável, de Claudia Lage
Authors: Coimbra Rosicley Andrade
Published: July 2024

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a “representificação do ausente” (Catroga, 2009) no romance O corpo interminável, de Claudia Lage (2019). A hipótese principal é a existência de uma força compressiva que age sobre o protagonista originando uma tensão entre corpo ausente e corpo desejado. O passado recente do Brasil também é revisitado pela ficção que, estrategicamente, reencarna vozes anônimas, recupera o silêncio dos desaparecidos políticos e oferece-lhes um espaço para testemunharem. Tem-se um romance no qual o estético e o ético abrem espaço para uma reflexão sobre uma história forçadamente conclusa. Faz-se, pela via da literatura, uma crítica não apenas aos discursos oficiais da história, mas também aos dispositivos constitutivos da memória coletiva que ignora os traumas deixados pela violência de Estado. Nesse sentido, O corpo interminável estabelece um “diálogo com os signos da ausência” (Catroga, 2009) e converte-se em testemunho daqueles que não sobreviveram à violência de Estado.
O reencantamento do mundo e o campo expandido na literatura
Authors: Francisco Beatriz Cristina Peixoto
Published: July 2024

Este artigo busca dialogar com a teoria de ‘campo expandido’ da literatura, defendido pela professora argentina Florencia Garramuño em sua obra A Experiência Opaca: literatura e desencanto (2012). Para isso, trabalha-se com o conto indígena do povo Mebengôkré Kayapó conhecido como “Amor originário”, narrado pelos contadores de histórias indígenas Aline Ngrenhtabare L. Kayapó e Edson Kayapó. Procura-se refletir como o conto indígena mobiliza o seu leitor para a imaginação, para o mundo, além de despertá-lo para outros sentidos como escutar a escrita. Para Garramuño (2012) o campo expandido relaciona-se com a “euxistenciateca do real”, segundo a qual é possível observar a experiência humana fragmentada e arquivada de maneira descontínua. Nesse sentido, o campo expandido na literatura atua como um espaço dinâmico e em constante evolução, segundo a qual a interpretação e a reinterpretação são essenciais para a compreensão da complexidade da vida e da expressão artística. Eis aí o reencantamento do mundo; pensar nessa literatura movente, que não trabalha sempre com as mesmas molduras e que pode expandir seu próprio conceito mobilizando seu leitor para o som, para o ouvir, movendo-o para lugares e devires. Modula-se a análise do conto observando como a narrativa se move lentamente, ou seja, o que se desdobra, se alonga, sussurra, também ecoando e vibrando no silêncio.

ESTIMATION OF NONSAMPLING VARIANCE COMPONENTS UNDER THE LINEAR MODEL APPROACH
Authors: Maiti Pulakesh
Published: July 2024

The importance of nonsample or measurement errors has long been recognized. [for numerous references see e.g., the comprehensive papers by Mahalanobis (1946), Hansen et.al. (1961), Bailar and Dalenius (1970), Dalenius (1974)]. Attempts have been made for estimating components due to nonsampling errors. The work in this area starts developing surveys, specifically designed to incorporate features which can facilitate the estimation of non sampling components such as reinterviews and/or interpenetrating samples. However most of the survey designs so far developed, though few, are very complex in nature [Fellegi (1964, 1974), Biemen et al. (1985), Folsom(1980), Nelson(1974)]. Here, a very simple survey design as well as a simple estimation procedure have been developed for the purpose of estimating simple as well as correlated response variances, namely interviewer variance and superviser variance.
SPATIAL M-QUANTILE MODELS FOR SMALL AREA ESTIMATION
Authors: Salvati Nicola , Pratesi Monica , Tzavidis Nikos , Chambers Ray
Published: July 2024

In small area estimation direct survey estimates that rely only on area-specific data can exhibit large sampling variability due to small sample sizes at the small area level. Efficient small area estimates can be constructed using explicit linking models that borrow information from related areas. The most popular class of models for this purpose are models that include random area effects. Estimation for these models typically assumes that the random area effects are uncorrelated. In many situations, however, it is reasonable to assume that the effects of neighbouring areas are correlated. Models that extend conventional random effects models to account for spatial correlation between the small areas have been recently proposed in literature. A new semi-parametric approach to small area estimation is based on the use of M-quantile models. Unlike traditional random effects models, M-quantile models do not depend on strong distributional assumptions and are robust to the presence of outliers. In its current form, however, the M-quantile approach to small area estimation does not allow for spatially correlated area effects. The aim of this paper is to extend the M-quantile approach to account for such spatial correlation between small areas.

The poverty profile of rural farm households belonging to association(s) in Akwa Ibom State, in the southern region of Nigeria, was analyzed. A multi-stage sampling technique was employed to select 180 rural farm households within the research area. Descriptive statistics and the FGT methodology were utilized to evaluate the objectives of the study. The findings indicated that 60.56% of the rural farm households were classified as poor. Among the identified poor farmers, approximately 27.78% and 32.78% were categorized as core poor and moderate poor, respectively. Only 39.44% of the rural farm households were considered non-poor. The incidence of poverty among the core poor farm households was found to be 51.00%, while it was 62.00% for the moderate poor rural farm households. Similarly, the poverty depth indices revealed that the core poverty group accounted for 28.00%, whereas the moderate poverty group accounted for 22.00%. Furthermore, the research identified several activities adopted by farm households to alleviate poverty, including providing loans to members at reduced rates, mobilizing savings, engaging in group work, disseminating information on new agricultural products and prices, and organizing training on modern farming techniques, among others. Based on these findings, it is evident that poverty continues to be a significant issue among rural farm households in the southern region of Nigeria. Therefore, a re-evaluation of the various strategies aimed at reducing poverty is imperative in this region.

Published: July 2024

The technology of system modeling of reliability and survivability of the onboard control system (OCS) of the spacecraft is presented in the study of various options for the activation of operating modes. The technology of spacecraft functioning based on the concept of digital twins currently takes a leading position. That's concept allows you to create realistic virtual copies of spacecraft, to simulate not only the objects themselves, but also the processes of their design and operation in various conditions of a priori uncertainty. Such conditions, first of all, should include the destructive effects of an aggressive external environment (outer space) and the multi-mode nature (sequence and intensity of the modes involved) of the functioning of onboard spacecraft systems. The implementation of the requirements of multi-purpose and multi-mode control in these conditions is closely related to the study of the reliability and survivability of such objects from the standpoint of considering their structural construction. The proposed article discusses an approach to assessing the reliability and survivability of onboard systems of small spacecraft (SS), which is based on the concept of a parametric genome structure, taking into account the multi-mode operation in an aggregated form.
