Authors: De Faria Ariane , De Paiva Sobrinho Severino , Oliveira Andrea dos Santos , Tavares Armando Reis , Da Luz Petterson Baptista
Published: July 2021

The study aimed to evaluate the internal morphology of Passiflora eichleriana Mast., Passiflora nitida Kunth. and Passiflora mucronata Lam. seeds cryopreserved with different cryoprotectants. The treatment were control (without cryoprotectant or cryopreservation), seeds cryopreserved without cryoprotectant, 1.73, 2.28, 2.60 or 2.71 M glycerol, 0.37, 0.46, 0.54 or 0.61 M sucrose and 0.37, 0.72, 1.04 or 1.35 M dimethylsulfoxide. The seeds were cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen (-196 °C) for seven days. The cryopreserved seeds were dipped in water bath (37 °C) for 5 minutes to defrost. The percentage of filled, empty, malformed and damaged seeds was determined. The seeds were analyzed by X-ray to verify damages caused by the cryopreservation or defrost. Our results demonstrate that X-ray is an efficient method to analyses cryopreserved seeds and the cryopreservation technique did not cause mechanical damage of P. eichleriana, P. nitida and P. mucronata seeds.

Published: July 2021

The study presents itself as an alternative for the minimal processing of crushed cassava leaves, a product widely used in the Northern Brazilian cuisine. A Box-Behnken design was used to define the concentration of the sodium hypochlorite solution (NaClO) and the immersion time (t) capable of guaranteeing acceptable levels for thermotolerant coliforms and molds and yeasts in the leaves. The leaves sanitized in this condition were crushed, packed in polyethylene packaging under standard atmosphere (PE-WV) and under vacuum (PE-V); also packed in polyamide packaging under vacuum (PA-V), and stored at 7ºC for 30 days. The following properties were monitored: fresh weight loss, water activity, pH, titratable acidity, soluble solids, instrumental color, chlorophyll a and b, and total phenolic contents. In addition, there were assessed Salmonella spp, coliform at 45ºC, molds and yeasts and psychrotrophic bacteria. The 20 min immersion time and 250 mg/L NaClO solution were defined as the optimal conditions for the sanitization of the leaves and, after that, the leaves were rinsed with water. The behavior of the physical-chemical and microbiological properties indicated that the sanitized and crushed cassava leaves will be suitable for consumption for 24 h when packed in PE-WV; for 7 days when packed in PE-V and for 14 days when packed in PA-V, at 7°C storage.

Published: July 2021

Studies on seed germination and seedling development in different environmental conditions help to understand the ability of exotic species to colonize new environments. Cryptostegia madagascariensis is an exotic invasive species in the semiarid Caatinga Phytogeographical Domain, in the northeastern region of Brazil. In this study, was evaluate how the abiotic factors interfere in germination and the impacts of a water deficit in the initial growth of seedlings. During germination, the seeds were exposed to different temperatures (constant and alternating) combined with two light conditions (white and dark light). In germination, we also evaluated the effects of water and saline stress. In initial growth, the seedlings were submitted to four levels of water availability (100%, 70%, 40% and 10% of field capacity). The milder (20 at 30°C) and alternate temperatures studied provided greater germination four days after sowing, independent of light. High temperatures (35°C) are a limiting factor for germination, as well as water and saline stress (>2 MPa). The water deficit reduces the growth of the seedlings, but these showed morphological adaptations to the different treatments. However, lower levels of water reduced its invading potential. Therefore, factors such as high temperature (> 30° C), saline and water stress, reduce its germination potential and the reduction of water availability affects its growth, but not its survival.

The plants popularly used in the treatment of various diseases, such as Myracrodruon urundeuva Allemão, have been investigated about the action on microorganisms, aiming the discovery and use of new natural additives. This research aimed to evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial activity of the aqueous extract of Myracrodruon urundeuva leaves and its fractions on pathogenic bacteria associated with foodborne diseases. The aqueous extract was obtained by decoction of the fresh leaves and fractionated by high-speed counter-current chromatography. The antimicrobial activity was performed using microdilution in a plate. The aqueous extract of “aroeira-do-sertão” leaves was effective against all tested microorganisms. Antimicrobial activity was verified for Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes (0.2 and 0.8 mg/mL, respectively) and for Salmonella Enteritidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli (6, 10 and 16 mg/mL respectively). Twenty-four secondary compounds were isolated, distributed in six fractions. The fractions showed antimicrobial activity on Gram-positive bacteria at low concentrations (0.011 to 0.095 mg/mL) and at higher concentrations (2.4 to 33 mg/mL), two fractions showed activity on Gram-negative bacteria. The union of the compounds in the extract was favorable for antimicrobial activity on all the studied bacteria, demonstrating that the susceptibility of the microorganisms to the extract varied according to the chemical compounds present.
Evaluation approaches to empowering interventions
Authors: Vojtek Ildikó
Published: July 2021

Empowerment has been a widespread term since the 1990s and is common in contexts as social work, community development, psychology, medicine, and several other areas of human development and health. Empowerment is a process during which a person, an organization, or a community is enabled to identify themselves, to recognize their own power positions and to improve their unequal social situations (Varga, 2017). The evaluation of empowerment outcomes has been missing from the Hungarian professional literature.  This review article focuses on the empowerment of adults through educational theatre and drama, and is based on the analysis of previous research results in the area.

Empowerment is a multi-level, context-dependent construct, hence, evaluating empowerment outcomes is challenging. Theorists of empowerment warn against creating a general instrument for measurement (Zimmerman, 1995). I reflect on quantitative, qualitative, and combined evaluation methods, such as the Psychological Empowerment Scale (Akey et al., 2000), the Empowerment Evaluation (Fetterman, 2001), and the Empowerment Measuring Tool (Jupp et al., 2010), also taking Wandersman and associates’ (2005) principles for empowerment evaluation into account.
A community-based approach to prevent social exclusion of Somali youth in Finland
Authors: Mowlid Ahmed
Published: July 2021

The current study is a brief evaluation of a community-based project called “Gurmad – Save the Youth”. The word “Gurmad” comes from the Somali language and it means saving someone. The project was implemented in 2017–2018 in Espoo, Finland. The main aim of the project was to prevent social exclusion and radicalization among immigrant young adults living in the area. Another aim was to create a community-based approach to help solve their social problems. In this study, the Trident approach is utilized to structure the available results of an internal, participatory evaluation. Confirmed strengths of the project could serve as a rationale for the continuation of the programme.
A Column-Type Experimental Device for Investigating Coupled Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical Behavior of Expansive Soils
Authors: Rawat Abhishek , Baille Wiebke , Tripathy Snehasis , Schanz Tom
Published: July 2021

This paper presents a newly designed column-type experimental device for investigating the coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical behavior of expansive soils. Sensors and monitoring instruments facilitated continuous and nondestructive measurements of temperature, relative humidity, water content, and total stresses in both axial and lateral directions at various preselected locations of the device. The design features and calibration of specific accessories are presented. System implementation and validation tests were performed to examine the performance of the device at an elevated temperature. In the context of underground storage of nuclear waste, a test was performed with a compacted Calcigel bentonite-sand mixture (50:50) to investigate the thermo-hydro-mechanical behavior of the material under an applied temperature gradient involving temperatures of 80°C and 20°C at the opposite ends of the sample. The test results highlighted the key features of temperature-driven processes in unsaturated compacted porous media. Thermal loading caused changes in the water content and relative humidity within the sample. During the temperature equilibration period, the thermal dilation phenomenon in the regions closer to the heat source was found to be responsible for the development of axial and lateral stresses in the sample. A longer duration of thermal loading caused volumetric shrinkage of the material, which in turn affected the magnitudes of both axial and lateral stresses.

Die österreichische Protestarena im neuen Jahrtausend: Mobilisierungsstärke, Aktionsformen und Themen, 1998–2016
Authors: Dolezal Martin
Published: July 2021

Politischer Protest ist auch in Österreich ein normaler Bestandteil der politischen Auseinandersetzung geworden und hat im neuen Jahrtausend seinen vormals „unkonventionellen“ Charakter endgültig verloren. Basierend auf der Berichterstattung der Nachrichtenagentur APA analysiert der Beitrag alle Protestereignisse, die in den Jahren von 1998 bis 2016 stattgefunden haben, und konzentriert sich dabei auf drei Charakteristika der österreichischen Protestarena: das Ausmaß der Mobilisierung, die gewählten Aktionsformen und die bei den Protesten angesprochenen Themen. Die Ergebnisse der Protestereignisanalyse zeigen, dass das im Jahr 2000 aufgrund der Bildung der ÖVP-FPÖ-Regierung erreichte Mobilisierungsniveau ein Ausreißer geblieben ist, die Proteste überwiegend moderate Aktionsformen aufweisen und der Umweltschutz bereits vor den aktuellen Klimaschutzprotesten das wichtigste Thema war.

Authors: Rachman Ranno Marlany , Ngii Edward , Sya’ban Abdul Rahim
Published: July 2021

This study was conducted to determine mercury contamination contained in soils in Kalirejo sub-district, Kulon Progo, Indonesia. This contamination occurred as a result of traditional gold mining activities that used the amalgamation method of mercury. Soil samples were collected from 6 sites; one site was located in an uncontaminated location, and 5 sites in contaminated soil were taken from 10 meters distance from the tailing ponds. Samples were collected from each site at 30, 60, and 90 cm depths. Mercury concentrations in each sample were measured according to the US EPA method, using Mercury analyzer type VM-3000. Mercury concentrations in uncontaminated area at 30, 60, 90 depths were 0.19 mg/kg, 0.02 mg/kg, and <0.0001 mg/kg respectively. These values did not exceed the quality standard according to Government Regulation No 101 The Year 2014 concerning Hazardous Waste Management of 0.3 mg/kg. Meanwhile, mercury concentrations around the tailing ponds were 0.30 to 22.51 mg/kg, which exceeded the quality standard.

Published: July 2021

This paper deals with the evaluation of rehabilitation of spoils depositions of asbestos mine MABE, Kozani, in northern Greece, eight years after restoration works. In order to succeed this, we monitored all the restoration actions during the period of restoration works, as well as during the post-restoration period of eight years after the end of restoration works. The evaluation showed that the mining area subjected to restoration is now characterized, eight years after restoration, by high land stabilization, satisfactory woody vegetation cover, low erosion risk, low concentration of asbestos fibres in the air and water, and furthermore it was aesthetically integrated in the surrounding landscape. Even though the great difficulties due to the huge pile of spoils depositions that had been created during mining, the selection of the specific restoration actions greatly contributed to the achievement of a sustainable post-mining environment. The suitable land transformation, and the satisfactory establishment of forest vegetation created a safe from asbestos fibres environment, and for a sustainable future land use of the previous mine area as forest, which in many cases is the most appropriate post-mining use for contaminated mining areas.

Published: July 2021

Sand mining activities in Pasir Sakti District, East Lampung Regency, have changed the landscape and the allotment of land around it. The former sand mining area now becomes large puddles that are not utilized. This study aimed to analyze the suitability of water quality in ex-sand mining areas for tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) culture. Observations were carried out at three stations in January-October 2019. Water quality measurements were performed to check water depth, clarity, temperature, current, dissolved oxygen, pH, salinity, nitrate, phosphate, iron, sulfate, and phytoplankton density. Analysis of suitability for aquaculture was carried out using weighting and scoring methods. Based on the results of the suitability analysis, the scoring result of the sand mining land for O.niloticus culture was in the range of 64% -68%. This score is classified as marginally suitable. The parameters with low scores are clarity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, ammonia, phosphate, and iron (Fe) concentration parameters. Meanwhile, salinity, nitrate, sulfate, and phytoplankton density indicate conditions that are suitable for aquaculture. Therefore, severe treatment is needed to improve water quality to make it ideal for O.niloticus culture.
After Trump: Restoring Legitimacy to the Pardon Power
Authors: Love Margaret Colgate
Published: July 2021

The guest editor’s introduction aims to provide an overview of Donald Trump’s extraordinary record of pardoning, and a road map to the essays in the Issue. Together the essays discuss ways to restore legitimacy to the pardon power and increase its usefulness to the presidency, by limiting some of the pardon power’s most extreme uses; supplementing the pardon power with statutory remedies so that the president is no longer personally responsible for so much routine criminal justice business; and managing the pardon power in a way that serves the presidency and not the parochial interests of federal prosecutors.

All of these ideas and arguments together suggest that the way to restoring pardon’s democratic legitimacy and usefulness to the president lies in shrinking the portfolio of routine chores for which pardon is now exclusively responsible, and in restoring the independence and stature of the pardon advisory process within the Justice Department. It would be both fitting and deeply ironic if Donald Trump’s irregular and undemocratic pardoning led to a more coherent and meaningful use of the constitutional power in the service of an enlightened presidential policy agenda, to a renewed commitment to the historically close relationship between pardon and the justice system, and even to a transformation of the Justice Department’s unforgiving prosecutorial culture.
Transforming the Theater of Pardoning
Authors: Meyler Bernadette
Published: July 2021

This article describes how President Donald Trump transformed the federal pardon process from a fairly routine bureaucratic mechanism operated by the Office of the Pardon Attorney into a series of personally negotiated and theatrically performed acts. It considers how Trump’s practices have rendered pardoning on the federal level democratically suspect and suggests a mechanism for re-invigorating pardoning as a democratic process.
Donald Trump and the Clemency Process
Authors: Gluck Matthew , Goldsmith Jack
Published: July 2021

Since the nineteenth century, presidents have largely relied on recommendations from the Office of the Pardon Attorney when granting pardons and commutations. The current process for making clemency recommendations usually takes more than a year. It is governed by Justice Department regulations that outline the factors for consideration of petitions and set forth multiple stages of review. While reliance on pardon attorney recommendations has long been the norm, presidents are not required to use this process. Presidents before Donald Trump had circumvented the pardon attorney. However, no prior president had made the evasion of this process the norm. This article details what appears to be the pardon attorney’s rare involvement in President Trump’s clemency grants.
Are Blanket Pardons Constitutional?
Authors: Bowman Frank O.
Published: July 2021

The pardon power of the U.S. president is very broad. A president may pardon any federal crime committed prior to the date of the pardon, and may issue pardons to individuals or groups of persons for offenses committed in connection with multiple discrete events. However, the Constitution’s text and British and American precedent suggest that a valid pardon presupposes awareness by the President of that which is being pardoned as a logical and legal precondition for an exercise of judgment about the propriety of granting clemency. Accordingly, a pardon of the type issued by President Gerald Ford to former President Richard Nixon, purporting to pardon Nixon for all federal offenses committed during his terms of office, irrespective of Ford’s knowledge of them, should be deemed unconstitutional.
Has the Time Come for Relief for Federal Convictions?
Authors: Chin Gabriel J. , Schlussel David
Published: July 2021

Congress has been weighing a new form of judicial relief—a Certificate of Rehabilitation—that could alleviate the “internal exile” caused by the collateral consequences of a federal conviction. Aside from the once robust, now rare and erratic pardon power, federal law lacks a general restoration-of-rights regime. Currently authorized by 13 states, judicial certificates of relief are recommended by the major national law reform organizations. This essay describes a bipartisan Senate proposal to authorize federal judges to issue certificates of rehabilitation.
Dual attack: targeting the rare co-occurrence of myasthenia gravis and Graves’ disease with radioactive iodine therapy
Authors: Arcellana Anna Elvira S , Adiao Karen Joy B , Buenaluz-Sedurante Myrna
Published: July 2021

Occasionally, autoimmune disorders can come in twos. This double trouble creates unique challenges. Myasthenia gravis co-existing with autoimmune thyroid disease occurs in only about 0.14–0.2% of cases. The patient is a 27-year-old man with a 2-month history of bilateral ptosis, diplopia, with episodes of easy fatigability, palpitations, and heat intolerance. On physical exam, the patient had an enlarged thyroid gland. Myasthenia gravis was established based on the presence of ptosis with weakness of the intraocular muscles, abnormal fatigability, and a repetitive nerve stimulation study indicated neuromuscular junction disease. Episodes of fluctuating right shoulder weakness were also noted. He was also found to have elevated FT3, FT4, and a suppressed TSH. Thyroid ultrasound revealed thyromegaly with diffused parenchymal disease. Thyroid scintigraphy showed increased uptake function at 72.4% uptake at 24 h. TRAb was positive at 4.1 U/L. Patient was started on pyridostigmine which led to a significant reduction in the frequency of ocular muscle weakness. Methimazole was also initiated. Radioactive iodine at 14.9 mci was instituted for the definitive management of hyperthyroidism. After RAI, there was abatement of the hyperthyroid symptoms, as well as improvement in the status of the myasthenia gravis, with ptosis, diplopia, and right arm weakness hardly occurring thereafter despite the reduction of the pyridostigmine dose based on a symptom diary and medication intake record. Two distinct autoimmune conditions displayed a markedly improved clinical course with the institution of radioactive iodine therapy for Graves’ disease.

Learning points

The presence of ptosis, diplopia, and fluctuating muscle weakness are atypical in Graves’ disease and should prompt an investigation on the existence of concurrent myasthenia gravis. A prompt diagnosis of both conditions will enable the institution of appropriate management that would target both rare and challenging autoimmune diseases.

Selecting the therapeutic options with minimal risk of morbidity and mortality, which could lead to maximal benefit especially in a resource-limited setting is paramount.

Targeted non-surgical management can lead to the remission of two autoimmune diseases which can result in patient satisfaction and improved quality of life.
Text Comprehension and Study Method Acquisition for Students with Specific Learning Disorder: Development and First Application of the SUST Program
Authors: Rizzo Amalia Lavinia , Traversetti Marianna
Published: July 2021

In this paper we describe an educational program for the development of the study method for students with specific learning disorders (SLD) and a first Italian application on a small sample of fifth grade students. This experience was aimed at collecting useful data precisely to review and improve the above-mentioned program. A particularly relevant problem was identified looking at the anthropological dimension of the capability learning and the need for students to acquire the learning to learn ability. Specifically, it is about the low levels of text comprehension in Italian schools and its consequences on the study activities. Within the inclusive perspective and taking into account the effective didactic strategies in the evidence-based education (EBE) perspective, the project created and tested a teaching kit (SUST) for the fifth classes of the primary school, at-tended by students with SLD. This experimental framework was conducted following the Design Based Research methodology. It also focused on the training of teachers within the intervention classes. The positive results of SUST application open a constructive scenario for the definition of intervention programs aimed at improving text comprehension and study skills of students with SLD. This program should be tested in a wider context of schools.

The article analyzes the representation of Central American culture in the story Viaje a Centroamérica (1863), by the German Wilhelm Marr. The text addresses the culture, customs and traditions of Nicaragua and CostaRica during the nineteenth century, all of which reflect not only the cultural conditions of both countries, but also a way of interpreting culture and civilization in which Europe adopts a position of superiority and privilege over other countries. This implies a colonialist, utilitarian and racist vision in the narrative.

Unsupervised marine vessel trajectory prediction using LSTM network and wild bootstrapping techniques
Authors: Venskus Julius , Treigys Povilas , Markevičiūtė Jurita
Published: July 2021

Increasing intensity in maritime traffic pushes the requirement in better preventionoriented incident management system. Observed regularities in data could help to predict vessel movement from previous vessels trajectory data and make further movement predictions under specific traffic and weather conditions. However, the task is burden by the fact that the vessels behave differently in different geographical sea regions, sea ports, and their trajectories depends on the vessel type as well. The model must learn spatio-temporal patterns representing vessel trajectories and should capture vessel’s position relation to both space and time. The authors of the paper proposes new unsupervised trajectory prediction with prediction regions at arbitrary probabilities using two methods: LSTM prediction region learning and wild bootstrapping. Results depict that both the autoencoder-based and wild bootstrapping region prediction algorithms can predict vessel trajectory and be applied for abnormal marine traffic detection by evaluating obtained prediction region in an unsupervised manner with desired prediction probability.

Large deviations for stochastic Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation with multiplicative noise
Authors: Amali Paul Rose Gregory , Suvinthra Murugan , Balachandran Krishnan
Published: July 2021

The Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation is a nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation, which describes the instability and turbulence of waves in chemical reactions and laminar flames. The aim of this work is to prove the large deviation principle for the stochastic Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation driven by multiplicative noise. To establish the large deviation principle, the weak convergence approach is used, which relies on proving basic qualitative properties of controlled versions of the original stochastic partial differential equation.
Initiation of Long-Acting Reversible Contraception in Hospitalized Adolescents in the United States
Authors: Allison Bianca A. , Ritter Victor , Flower Kori B. , Perry Martha F.
Published: July 2021

OBJECTIVES

To analyze factors associated with the initiation of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) among adolescent patients in inpatient settings in the United States.

METHODS

This study is a secondary data analysis of the national Kids’ Inpatient Database 2016 data (N = 4200 hospitals). Eligible patients were hospitalized girls 10 to 20 years old. The primary outcome was initiation of LARC (ie, subdermal implant and/or intrauterine device [IUD]) while hospitalized. Covariables included age, race or ethnicity, insurance type, postpregnancy status, geographic region, hospital type (rural or urban), hospital size, and children’s hospital status. Bivariable statistics were calculated by using survey-weighted analysis, and a design-based logistic regression model was used to determine the adjusted odds of LARC initiation and of implant versus IUD initiation.

RESULTS

LARC initiation occurred in 0.4% (n = 3706) of eligible hospital admissions (n = 874 193). There were differences in LARC initiation by patient age, insurance type, race or ethnicity, postpregnancy status, hospital type, and hospital status (all P < .01). In the adjusted model, older age, public insurance, nonwhite race or ethnicity, postpregnancy status, and urban, teaching or larger hospitals were independently associated with LARC initiation (all P < .01). Smaller hospital size and postpregnancy status increased the odds of implant versus IUD initiation after stratifying by hospital region.

CONCLUSIONS

LARC initiation occurred in <1% of adolescent hospitalizations, with 90% of those occurring in postpregnancy adolescents. Addressing LARC capacity in rural, nonteaching, and smaller hospitals is important in increasing access. Future research is needed to identify and close gaps in the number of adolescents desiring and initiating LARC in hospital settings.

Authors: Ramazani Suzanne N. , Gottfried Julie Albright , Kaissi Maha , Lynn Justin , Leonard Michael S. , Schriefer Jan , Bayer Nathaniel D.
Published: July 2021

OBJECTIVES

For hospitalized children and their families, laboratory study collection at night and in the early morning interrupts sleep and increases the stress of a hospitalization. To change this practice, our quality improvement (QI) study developed a rounding checklist aimed at increasing the percentage of routine laboratory studies ordered for and collected after 7 am.

METHODS

Our QI study was conducted on the pediatric hospital medicine service at a single-site urban children’s hospital over 28 months. Medical records from 420 randomly selected pediatric inpatients were abstracted, and 5 plan-do-study-act cycles were implemented during the intervention. Outcome measures included the percentage of routine laboratory studies ordered for and collected after 7 am. The process measure was use of the rounding checklist. Run charts were used for analysis.

RESULTS

The percentage of laboratory studies ordered for after 7 am increased from a baseline median of 25.8% to a postintervention median of 75.0%, exceeding our goal of 50% and revealing special cause variation. In addition, the percentage of laboratory studies collected after 7 am increased from a baseline median of 37.1% to 76.4% post intervention, with special cause variation observed.

CONCLUSIONS

By implementing a rounding checklist, our QI study successfully increased the percentage of laboratory studies ordered for and collected after 7 am and could serve as a model for other health care systems to impact provider ordering practices and behavior. In future initiatives, investigators should evaluate the effects of similar interventions on caregiver and provider perceptions of patient- and family-centeredness, satisfaction, and the quality of patient care.
Neoliberalismo, democracia e políticas sociais
Authors: Passos Talita Kelly de Sousa , Teixeira Solange Maria
Published: July 2021

O presente artigo tem por objetivo fazer uma análise da atual superestrutura, marcadamente neoliberal, de sustentáculo do corrente modelo de acumulação capitalista e suas implicações na democracia liberal burguesa e nos direitos humanos básicos, expressos em liberdades básicas, materializados em direitos de cidadania em cada país. Trata-se de um artigo resultante de pesquisa teórica, com metodologia qualitativa e escolha intencional de literatura de suporte. Conclui-se que esse projeto societário neoliberal e neoconservador que forma a atual nova direita colide, convive, (re)significa e esvazia a democracia e os que podem ou não ser considerados cidadãos e ter garantidos os seus direitos humanos.
Mulheres despossuídas no século XXI
Authors: Duarte Joana das Flores
Published: July 2021

Decorridos 177 anos da publicação dos artigos de Marx (2017), na Gazeta Renana, no contexto europeu, sua contribuição segue não só atual, mas necessária para compreendermos os processos sociais no contexto latino-americano e periférico. Situando a historicidade da obra e da realidade brasileira, o fito de resgatá-la é justamente para que se mostre a face bárbara da acumulação capitalista, ainda mais agudizada no que se refere às pessoas em situação de criminalização por parte do Estado. Isso porque, na condição de infratora da lei, a mulher passa a ser objeto de sanção e pena, e dela não é suprimido somente o direito à liberdade, mas também o direito de ser protagonista de resistência, de pulsão antagônica ao modo de produção capitalista. Essas mulheres correspondem a uma massa de desempregadas informais, constituindo-se nas despossuídas do século XXI.

Costura de prazeres e requebros: a insurgência e atualidade de Filipa de Sousa
Authors: Mantovani José Pascoal , Magalhães Vincentin Natlhalia
Published: July 2021

Este artigo trata da inquisição de Felipa de Sousa. O problema suscitado é: como transformar o tema de gênero e/ou sexualidade em dispositivo que problematize subjetividades que estão moldadas a estruturas dominadoras? Nesse contexto, qual o papel da religião como instituição prescritiva? É possível potencializar vozes insurgentes? A fundamentação teórica se respaldará em Mesquita, Butler e Louro. Os objetivos são: apresentar a condenação de Felipa de Sousa e o papel da religião vigente em sua sentença; articular situações de misoginia do século XVI e da contemporaneidade; propor estética da existência para corpos insurgentes diante de religiões dominadoras e instituições castradoras. Como resultado, busca-se demonstrar o paralelo da perseguição de Felipa de Sousa com corpos femininos contemporâneos.

Stream as a New Hypermedia Genre
Authors: Bolotnov Aleksey
Published: July 2021

The relevance of the study is due to changes in media culture evoked by new technologies that stimulate the emergence of a new hypertext genre-stylistic reality. The article examines a new media phenomenon –stream.The stream is considered as public communicative flow that takes place in real time and includes text, as well as video and audio content, organized by the streamer (the author) – information and media personality with the active involvement of other media participants of different types; it is implemented in live Internet broadcasting; it creates a variety of opportunities for any participant (from commenting, polling, to participation in action). The stream emerged from the instrumental-service approach to the development and comprehension of various relevant topics in the content presentation. The aim of the participants in this media process is self-expression and self-actualization, the incentive to be active and interact (from personal motives to socially significant ones). As a hypermedia genre it is considered on the material of media discourse "#daiDudya" with the participation of A.A. Venediktov, taking into account his linguistic and extralinguistic characteristics. The study of the stream as a new and insufficiently investigated phenomenon of modern media communication, the development of a methodology for its analysis are of interest for communicative and cognitive linguistics, media linguistics, sociology, psychology, discourse, and cultural linguistics.
Ritual Frame Indicating Expressions (An Academic Conversation)
Authors: House Juliane , Kádár Dániel , Leontyev Victor
Published: July 2021

The present paper is based on an interview, conducted by Victor V. Leontyev with Juliane House and Dániel Z. Kádár. It provides an overview of a new theory in pragmatics, namely, Ritual Frame Indicating Expressions (RFIEs). This theory provides a bottom-up and corpus-based approach to the study of various pragmatically important expressions through which the participants of an interaction indicate their awareness of the Ritual Frame underlying the interaction. 'Ritual Frame' encompasses a cluster of standard situations in which the rights and obligations of the participants are clearly defined. The corpus-based RFIE approach complements sociopragmatic approaches to various expression types, including so-called 'politeness markers', honorifics, forms of address and so on, and it also helps us to systematically capture the relationship between expressions and speech acts. In studying RFIEs, the analyst focuses on the ways in which RFIEs spread across various standard situations. The study of this issue also allows the researcher to contrastively examine the use of RFIEs across linguacultures. Such contrastive research helps us to unearth major linguacultural differences. For example, the research of J. House and D.Z. Kádár has revealed that while in East Asian linguacultures such as Chinese RFIEs tend to be strongly associated with a particular speech act, this relationship is casual in Western linguacultures.
A Case of Onychomadesis after Recovering from Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease
Authors: Kim Sung Soo
Published: July 2021

Onychomadesis is characterized by proximal nail plate separation from the nail matrix and nail bed. It has been associated with autoimmune disease, medications, severe systemic diseases, trauma, periungual dermatitis, nutritional deficiency, and infection. Hand-foot-mouth disease is most frequently caused by coxsackievirus A16 and is associated with a number of other coxsackieviruses and enterovirus 71. It particularly affects children under 5 years of age and is characterized by vesicular eruptions on the hands, feet, and buttocks and ulcerations of the tongue, soft palate, buccal mucosa, or gingiva. Onychomadesis after recovering from hand-foot-mouth disease is a rare and late complication. It occurs several weeks after the onset of hand-foot-mouth disease. The mechanism is still unknown. Generally, there is no need for treatment and there is spontaneous resolution within 1 to 2 months.
