Twentieth-Century Psychological Astrology and Legitimisation
Authors: Andrikopoulos Laura
Published: May 2024

Twentieth century psychological astrology was the dominant strand in the English-speaking world. It has been argued that this form of astrology attempted to become more psychological as a strategy for legitimisation in the modern world. This paper argues that an examination of the astrological texts of three key twentieth-century astrologers – Alan Leo (1860–1917), Dane Rudhyar (1895–1985) and Liz Greene (1946– ) – suggests that psychology was embraced not for reasons of legitimisation. Instead, psychology was adopted primarily for philosophical reasons, that is to increase the freedom of the individual and because, for Greene in particular, astrology is regarded as fundamentally psychological in nature.
Constructive approach and randomization of a two-parameter chaos system for securing data

Published: May 2024

Secure communication techniques are important due to the increase in the number of technology users across the world. Likewise, a more random encryption algorithm suitable to secure data from unauthorised users is highly expected. This paper proposes a two-parameter nonlinear chaos map that is sensitive to the trio seed (s0, \alpha, \lambda) and has better information encryption. We introduce the parameter \alpha to linearise the conventional chaos system, which in turn brings a delay in the cryptosystems. The delay is a phenomenon that changes the chaotic features of a system. A small delay in the system leads to more aperiodicity and the unpredictability of the chaotic attractions. We normalise the new chaos map and use the Lipschitz and pseudo-contractive operators to obtain its irregularity region in Hilbert spaces. We also analyse the chaos map in terms of trajectory, Lyapunov exponent, complexity, and information entropy. Results obtained show that the new chaos map has a wide chaotic range and better statistical properties. It also maintains low complexity due to its linearity and produces more key spaces than most existing chaotic maps.

Published: May 2024

Cryptocurrencies, notably Bitcoin, have surged in popularity and importance, attracting widespread attention due to their volatile nature and potential for significant financial gains. Predicting Bitcoin prices accurately has emerged as a challenging yet indispensable task for investors, traders, and policymakers seeking to navigate the complexities of the cryptocurrency market. Traditional forecasting methods often struggle to capture the intricate temporal patterns inherent in this domain, prompting the exploration of advanced techniques such as deep learning. This paper presents a comprehensive study on employing Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks for Bitcoin price prediction, a variant of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). Our research encompasses the entire process, from data collection to model evaluation, focusing on addressing the unique challenges posed by cryptocurrency market data. We begin by discussing the methodology involved in data acquisition, preprocessing, and feature engineering, which are crucial steps for ensuring the quality and relevance of input data. Next, we delve into the intricacies of LSTM model selection, hyperparameter tuning, and training strategies, aiming to optimize predictive performance while mitigating overfitting. Through extensive experimentation on real-world Bitcoin price datasets spanning multiple periods, we rigorously evaluate the effectiveness of LSTM networks in capturing long-term dependencies and forecasting future price movements. Comparative analyses against traditional time-series forecasting methods underscore the superior predictive capabilities of deep learning approaches in this context. Furthermore, we investigate the interpretability of LSTM-based models, examining the insights gained from analyzing learned representations and hidden states. These analyses provide valuable perspectives for market participants seeking to understand the driving factors behind Bitcoin price dynamics. Our findings demonstrate the practical utility of LSTM networks in Bitcoin price prediction and contribute to advancing the broader discourse on deep learning applications in financial forecasting. By shedding light on the potential of deep learning techniques to enhance predictive accuracy and robustness in cryptocurrency markets, our research offers valuable insights for stakeholders navigating this rapidly evolving landscape.
The Features and Problems of Management and Oversight of State-owned Enterprises and Sover-eign Funds in the RA
Authors: Tevosyan Sargis
Published: May 2024

The article discusses the role of state-owned joint stock companies in the country's economy and financial system. Analyzing the viewpoints of a number of famous economists, a number of problems typical for effective SOE management were raised. The role of SOEs has been considered by three separate viewpoint. In one case as they considered as bodies that pay dividends to the state budget and provide state budget revenues and in the other case as bodies active within the framework of state policy in areas where private participation is not possible to achieve the stated goals of the state. In addition, in terms of state funds, SOEs were considered as entities providing financial flows in the form of investments in the economy. In the article, the problems and possible risks of the SOE management process in RA were identified and classified in the mentioned cases, as well as innovative proposals for their solution were presented. Compilations of statistical data on state-owned companies in foreign countries have been carried out.
Management challenges, financial processes, operational efficiency and productivity, transparency and accountability, legislative, political, social economic and other issues discussed in the system approach were highlighted in the process of managing the state share of SOEs.

Authors: Velmurugan Saravana Selvan , Mariappan VIVEK , Samsudeen Mohamed Siddique , Narayanan SURESH KUMAR , Jakkiriya Basha Asith , Subramanian Revathi
Published: May 2024

INTRODUCTION: Traumatic optic neuropathy (TON), a severe complication following head injury, affects about 0.5% to 5% of patients with closed head injuries.1 Visual acuity (VA) loss associated with TON can be partial or complete and temporary or permanent. Increased intracanalicular pressure after an injury is considered to be one of the main pathophysiological manifestations.2 Mucoceles involving the Onodi cell and the sphenoidal sinus are rare, and optic nerve compression with decreased visual acuity may be the first presenting symptom.3.
Endonasal endoscopic optic nerve decompression is a safe and highly effective treatment to reduce the hydrostatic pressure on the optic nerve in cases of optic neuropathies of various etiologies.  This is to share our experience on transnasal endoscopic optic nerve decompression done for optic neuropathy due to traumatic optic neuropathy and non-traumatic optic neuropathy.
 CASE SERIES:
        A case series of three patients with traumatic optic neuropathy and one patient with non-traumatic optic neuropathy over a period of two years were studied. All four patients underwent endoscopic transnasal optic nerve decompression and surgical outcome in terms of visual recovery was observed.
DISCUSSION:
           Endoscopic transnasal optic nerve decompression is a minimally invasive , safe and efficient method of treatment for traumatic and non-traumatic optic neuropathy .4 Our experience also suggest that surgical intervention need to be considered as early as possible especially for traumatic cases to enhance visual recovery.

Published: May 2024

Introduction- A schwannoma is a benign tumor that develops from Schwann cells. It’s known to occur more frequently in women than men, and about one third occur in the head & neck area. However, it is rarely associated with the trigeminal nerve, and especially, schwannomas related to the infraorbital nerve are rare.
Case report- A 24-year-old male jute mill worker presented with painless swelling over left side of face for the last 12 years. On examination, localized, nontender, firm 3cm x 3cm swelling was found over left maxilla. Computed Tomography scan showed a well-defined heterogenous oval mass over the left maxilla extending over infraorbital foramen. Aspiration cytology of lesion showed good numbers of spindle cells in groups and dispersedly with fibrous strands. Diagnosis of schwannoma probably arising from terminal branch/trunk of infraorbital nerve was made. Surgical excision of lesion was done under general anesthesia. Histopathological examination of the excised lesion showed grossly firm and gray mass. Microscopically the lesion showed admixture of dense and loose areas referred to as Antoni A and Antoni B areas respectively.
Discussion- Infraorbital nerve schwannoma is a possible diagnosis in case of a swelling over the maxilla.

Abstract
Introduction: Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma is a malignant tumour that develops in the squamous cells that make up the middle and outer layers of the skin. It often forms on parts of skin frequently exposed to sunlight. It is usually not life-threatening, though it can be aggressive causing serious complications. However, nasofacial groove is a very uncommon area for the origin of squamous cell carcinoma.
Case Report: A 65-year-old housewife with hypertension and type 2 Diabetes Mellitus presented with painless swelling over right nasofacial groove for last 5 months which was insidious in onset, gradually progressive to reach the present size. On clinical examination, oval, localized, non-tender, hard 2cm x 2cm swelling was found over right nasofacial groove. Diagnostic nasal endoscopy was within normal limit. Computed Tomography showed a well-defined heterogenous oval mass over the right maxilla extending over right nasofacial region. Aspiration cytology yielded a few round to oval epithelial cells and fibrous stroma in a haemorrhagic background. A provisional diagnosis of appendageal tumour of nasofacial groove was made. Surgical excision was done under general anaesthesia. Gross examination  showed predominantly solid and grey mass. Microscopically the lesion showed features of moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Further Total Maxillectomy with Modified Radical Neck Dissection type 3 has been done.
Discussion: Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin may mimic nasolabial cyst. Hence the diagnosis should be kept in mind while dealing with a suspicious case of nasolabial cyst.

Published: May 2024

Toxic masculinity behavior has become one of the examples of emerging reality in society. It talks about how a teenager male is bound to a long-formed social construction against the determination of attitudes and behaviors that men should be carrying out. Like a man should be strong, not crying, and so on. This study aims to identify toxic masculinity behavior that occurs among SMK students. The method used is qualitative research with a case study approach that is reviewed from Berger and Luckmann's theory of social reality construction and supported by Raewyn Connell's hegemonic masculinity theory. Subjects in this study were students of SMK Bina Karya 1 Karawang who consisted of five informants (three perpetrators and two victims) and selected on the basis of certain criteria. The data collection techniques used are observations, interviews and documentation.The results show that toxic masculinity in reality is based on three stages: externalization, objectification and internalization. At the externalization stage, the role of the family as well as the infancy of the informant becomes an important stage in the formation of their character as a man. Then at the objectivization stage, individuals begin to interact and see the reality that exists in their social environment through the meaning created for men. Lastly, the stage of internalization in which individuals embody existing subjectivity and become part of the members of society as a male.

Authors: Wear Elsa Amalia
Published: May 2024

Introductioan: In this era of globalization, drug abuse and trafficking through smuggling in the Southeast Asian region is increasingly prevalent. Southeast Asia's strategic geographical location makes it an attractive traffic area for drug trafficking syndicates, both transnational and international. Therefore, there is a need for cooperation among ASEAN countries in dealing with this problem. Unfortunately, in terms of drug handling in ASEAN countries, there are still differences in regulations that have an impact on drug handling in the Southeast Asian region.Purposes of the Research:  The purpose of this research is to find out how the conditions of differences in drug handling regulations in ASEAN countries and the resulting impacts.Methods of the Research: This research uses normative juridical research methods and the problem approaches used are conceptual approaches, case approaches, and comparative approaches.Novelty of the Research: Based on the results of the research that has been conducted, it is known that there are still differences in regulations between ASEAN countries. This difference can be seen through a comparison between the applicable laws in Indonesia and Malaysia regarding sanctions and the minimum amount of drug possession that can be punished by death. Then the difference in regulations in Thailand which began to legalize the use of marijuana in the health sector as well as in food and beverages. There is also a misalignment that can be seen through differences in the provision of death penalty sanctions. As a result, there is a gap in sanctions that can facilitate narcotics trafficking between countries due to lighter, weaker or less stringent drug handling regulations in one country with another.

Introduction: Domestic life often occurs problems with the household dipper which then causes quarrels and disputes to lead to the breakup of marriage due to divorce. Members of the National Police who want to divorce must obtain permission from their superiors, but in their implementation there are members of the National Police who can divorce in Court without the permission of their superiors.Purposes of the Research: The purpose of this study is to examine and analyze divorce procedures by members of the Indonesian National Police and the legal consequences for members of the Indonesian National Police who divorce without the permission of their superiors.Methods of the Research: This research is a normative juridical research, using a descriptive analytical research type using primary, secondary and tertiary legal sources. The approach used is a statutory approach (Statute Approach), a conceptual approach (conceptual approach) and a case approach (Case Approach). The technique of collecting legal materials uses a literature study which is then analyzed qualitatively in order to answer the problems studied.Results of the Research: Based on the results of the research, it shows that the divorce procedure for members of the Indonesian National Police has the same stages as civil society in the judicial process. However, administratively, there are formal requirements that must be met by members of the Police who wish to divorce in the form of a supervisor's permission (recommendation). Therefore, the legal consequence is if a member of the National Police who divorces without a superior's permit does not fulfill the formal requirements, therefore the lawsuit or application must be considered formally flawed so that it must be decided with an unacceptable decision or niet ontvanklijke verklaard (NO), because the formal requirements are not met, it is a violation of police regulations so that the rights of members of the National Police cannot be granted as long as they are still in the process of being violated.
"Quem não quer dizimar não deve congregar": o funcionamento do discurso religioso protestante no sistema capitalista
Authors: Oliveira Daniel Santos , Magalhães Belmira
Published: May 2024

Este estudo objetiva investigar as condições de produção de fragmentos de discursos enunciados por um pastor evangélico/protestante no ano de 2023, que tocam na questão do/sobre o dízimo. A fundamentação teórica baseia-se nas perspectivas discursivas materialistas propostas por Pêcheux (2014a), Orlandi (2006, 2007, 2020) e Magalhães (2011). Os procedimentos de análise procuram levantar possibilidades de respostas para a seguinte pergunta: de que maneira o discurso religioso protestante afeta (ou não) o funcionamento do sistema capitalista? A formulação do corpus da presente pesquisa ocorreu a partir da transcrição de dois vídeos extraídos da plataforma YouTube. A análise de tais transcrições deu-nos a ver que esses discursos além de revelarem no protestantismo formas de adaptação institucional da fé à ideologia dominante, funcionam resgatando da história sentidos que são, simultaneamente, capitalistas e religiosos.
Estratégias discursivas através da encenação de notícias sobre a imigração venezuelana em Teresina-PI
Authors: Teixeira Marcos Felipe Borges
Published: May 2024

Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar diferentes notícias acerca da temática do fenômeno sócio-histórico, político e econômico da imigração venezuelana em Teresina, capital do Estado do Piauí, desvelando as estratégias materializadas em discursos de informação. Nossa principal base teórica é a Semiolinguística (Charaudeau, 2019), no que tange aos efeitos dos discursos das mídias na sociedade contemporânea fazendo parte de um processo de encenação discursiva, no qual ocorre a seleção dos fatos a serem noticiados, bem como a disseminação de diferentes ideologias para o público consumidor. O corpus foi composto por notícias publicadas em diferentes portais de informação do Piauí entre os anos de 2019 e 2022, anos em que os primeiros imigrantes chegaram à capital do estado e se estabeleceram na ocupação de espaços. No tocante às estratégias de encenação discursiva, verificamos como se dá o grau de hierarquia presente na transmissão dos acontecimentos, assim como a presença de relatos de autoridades governamentais, entidades, sujeitos comuns e dos próprios imigrantes. Concluímos que os diferentes portais de notícias se utilizam de distintas estratégias discursivas para construção dos acontecimentos, além de contribuírem na projeção de imaginários que moldam o pensamento e as ações da sociedade.
Análise da recepção de postagens do pastor e deputado federal Marco Feliciano sobre a covid-19, sob a ótica da teoria semiolinguística de Charaudeau
Authors: Melo Mônica Santos de Souza , Araujo Said Slaibi
Published: May 2024

No presente artigo, pretende-se analisar a organização discursiva de cinco postagens do pastor e Deputado Federal brasileiro Marco Feliciano a respeito da pandemia causada pelo COVID-19 no Brasil, assim como analisar a recepção pública frente aos posts, no intuito de observar a reação do público com relação ao dito e com relação ao enunciador. Nosso objetivo é identificar o nível de adesão à proposta e a incidência de manifestações de ódio nesse contexto. Para tanto, como aporte teórico, lança-se mão principalmente da Teoria Semiolinguística de Patrick Charaudeau (2009; 2016; 2017) e de trabalhos sobre o discurso intolerante e de ódio (Barros, 2015; Melo, 2020). Embora a princípio houvesse a hipótese de que predominassem comentários alinhados ao conteúdo das postagens, os resultados demonstraram um indicativo de baixa aderência pública aos conteúdos propostos pelos posts e a presença de comentários intolerantes, sendo a maioria deles associados ao processo de ridicularização (Melo, 2020).
Poesia concreta e João Cabral de Melo Neto no Jornal do Brasil – anos 1950
Authors: Sousa Patricia Pereira de , Siqueira Joelma Santana
Published: May 2024

O presente artigo possui como objetivo analisar a presença recorrente de referências ao poeta João Cabral de Melo Neto em textos sobre a poesia concreta publicados no Jornal do Brasil na década de 1950, com a finalidade de acompanhar o advento da poesia concreta e a vinculação, nesses textos, do nome de Cabral como um dos precursores do movimento. Para isto, realizou-se uma pesquisa documental com análise de fontes jornalísticas confrontadas com textos dos estudos literários, em especial, textos críticos de João Cabral sobre a poesia e estudos críticos sobre a poesia concreta. É possível concluir que Cabral e sua poesia serviram de referência para os poetas concretos, que filtraram aspectos da crítica cabralina que mais lhes interessavam: a ênfase no trabalho formal e na comunicação da poesia, deixando de fora questões relacionadas à poesia social.
Do Simbolismo decadentista ao Orfismo português: o eu profundo em Camilo Pessanha e Fernando Pessoa
Authors: Costa Brenda Nayara Rodrigues , Penido Luiz Henrique Carvalho
Published: May 2024

A forma peculiar com que se articulam em simultaneidade várias tendências literárias em Portugal resultaram numa diversa significação desses movimentos, tendo em vista as intrincadas paisagens nas quais as práticas artísticas articulam formas do dizível, do sensível e do factível em um momento de ebulição das instituições políticas, de multiplicação de mundos imaginários-imagináveis e dos embates ideológicos e culturais em solo europeu. Nossa tese, na esteira de uma leitura reversível e de inspiração genealógica dos movimentos, começa pelo pressuposto de que o orfismo português, apesar das suas inovações frente aos movimentos anteriores, preservou confluências do simbolismo decadentista, sendo possível a identificação de alguns desses elementos, principalmente, no caso deste ensaio, na materialização poética de um eu profundo, tanto na obra de Camilo Pessanha, como na de Fernando Pessoa. A nossa investigação é de cunho, principalmente, bibliográfico e analítico. Partimos da contextualização das tendências simbolista decadentista e orfistas com Moisés (2004) e Balakian (2000); buscamos algumas aproximações entre os poetas em Rubim (2023) e Lourenço (1974); por fim, analisamos nossos principais objetos, os poemas “Porque o melhor, enfim”, de Pessanha (1920) e "Às vezes medito”, de Álvaro de Campos, heterônimo de Pessoa (1928) atentos a contribuição de Bergson (1988) na distinção entre eu superficial e eu profundo. Nossa leitura pretende demonstrar como esses conceitos exercem um papel central na compreensão de alguns impasses poéticos e formais percebidos em ambos os poetas.
Entre a Lira e a Antilira: infância e memória em poemas de Manuel Bandeira e João Cabral de Melo Neto
Authors: Denadai Gabriela , Santos Monick Pereira de Araújo dos , Salgueiro Wilberth
Published: May 2024

Esse artigo elabora uma análise comparativa entre poemas de Manuel Bandeira e João Cabral de Melo Neto. A partir de pesquisas, como as de Arrigucci (1990) e Rosenbaum (2002), Costa Lima (1968) e Secchin (2014), que mapeiam o tema da infância nos dois autores, selecionamos os poemas “Epígrafe” e “Evocação do Recife”, de Bandeira, e “Infância” e “Dialeto”, de Cabral, a fim de relacionar a temática da infância a uma memória de Recife, cidade-natal dos primos. Além disso, destacamos o momento literário da época de cada poeta e de como suas obras dialogaram com o modernismo brasileiro. Suas poéticas, aparentemente tão distintas, se aproximam quando se pensa o tópos da infância em ambas as obras.
mobilização de afetos e ícones relacionada ao trabalho doméstico em Laços, de Domenico Starnone
Authors: Oliveira Amanda Bueno de , Lima Marcelo Fernando de
Published: May 2024

Neste artigo, analisamos o romance Lacci (2014) de Domenico Starnone, considerando sua tradução para o português, intitulada Laços (2018). Abordamos o texto sob a perspectiva da teoria dos afetos de Spinoza (2009), em conexão com o conceito de ícone elaborado por Chnaiderman (1989) e com os estudos de Federici (2019) sobre a necessidade de valorização do trabalho doméstico. Primeiramente, são identificados os afetos e os ícones presentes nos discursos das três personagens narradoras. Na sequência, buscamos compreender de que maneira o trabalho doméstico atua no desencadeamento de afetos, a fim de expandir a leitura adequando-a ao contexto histórico retratado literariamente, referente aos desdobramentos da segunda onda do feminismo na Itália. Nessa conjugação de vieses, compreende-se como se relacionam os três aspectos basilares do romance, que se apresenta como uma leitura minuciosa e refletida sobre a dinâmica da distribuição e da (des)valorização do trabalho doméstico entre os integrantes de uma relação instituída pelo casamento.
"I've played to quiet rooms like this before": analisando elementos da ficção científica na ambiência de Tranquility Base Hotel+Casino, dos Arctic Monkeys
Authors: Quadrado Lauro Iglesias , Andrade Victor Fernandes
Published: May 2024

O presente trabalho toma o álbum Tranquility Base Hotel+Casino (2018), sexto álbum de estúdio lançado pela banda inglesa Arctic Monkeys, como objeto de estudo da aplicação de conceitos teóricos sobre a ficção científica em manifestação que parte dos estudos literários e chega à análise musical. A argumentação deste artigo está apoiada por conceitos teóricos sobre ficção científica desenvolvidos por acadêmicos do gênero como Delany (2014), Freedman (2000) e Suvin (1979), que provêm suporte para a análise dos elementos característicos de ficção científica presentes no disco como marcadores de estilo, sonoros ou textuais. Metodologicamente, o trabalho adota uma abordagem estilística, ao utilizar a noção de ambiência desenvolvida por Stockwell (2014), a fim de possibilitar uma melhor compreensão de cada um dos elementos de ficção científica constituintes da obra na dimensão de produção do sentido poético. Para a dimensão lírica, a análise musical também leva em consideração elementos performativos, como propõe Bowden (1982). O artigo traz questionamentos a respeito da construção teórica, criativa e temática de obras de ficção científica para além das formas tradicionais da literatura, com a pretensão de elucidar os recursos estilísticos utilizados pela banda dentro dos limites do gênero ou nele se inspirando. Finalmente, também tenciona-se uma abertura de espaço de diálogo na academia para discussão de temas mais profundos sobre a crítica de ficção especulativa em geral.
Estudo da toponímia rural em cartas pessoais do semiárido baiano
Authors: Soares Camila dos Santos , Sampaio Lisana Rodrigues Trindade
Published: May 2024

Este artigo, situado no campo da Linguística Histórica, propõe investigar a toponímia rural patente na coleção de cartas de Mãos Inábeis, disponível no Corpus Eletrônico de Documentos Históricos do Sertão. Com base nessas premissas, o presente estudo, partindo da leitura de edições semidiplomáticas de documentos manuscritos, possui o intuito de registrar lexicograficamente as diferentes significações e variações dos topônimos evidentes nas cartas produzidas no século XX, por escreventes pouco escolarizados, provenientes de comunidades rurais das cidades de Riachão do Jacuípe, Conceição do Coité e Ichu, localizadas na região sisaleira do semiárido baiano, a fim de construir um glossário onomástico da toponímia rural dessa documentação. Para o desenvolvimento desse estudo, obteve-se como base nos pressupostos da lexicografia histórico-variacional (Machado Filho; Sampaio, 2020), assim como os estudos toponímicos (Dick, 1990; Seabra, 2004) e os estudos linguísticos do português brasileiro (Lucchesi, 2015b; Santiago, 2012, 2019; Oliveira, 2006). Sendo assim, este artigo apresenta os topônimos rurais identificados nas cartas da coleção, a partir dos registros grafados pelas “mãos” estudadas (mãos inábeis).
gótico e o fantástico no conto "Sem olhos", de Machado de Assis
Authors: Moraes Raíssa , Rossi Menegotto Roberto
Published: May 2024

Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar a presença do fantástico no conto "Sem olhos" (1876), de Machado de Assis, bem como identificar e contextualizar os elementos do gótico brasileiro presentes na narrativa. A obra, datada do final do século XIX, oferece um terreno fértil para explorar como o fantástico se desdobra na trama e para examinar de que forma os espaços descritos e os comportamentos e costumes das personagens contribuem para a atmosfera gótica. A metodologia adotada pretende elucidar o cenário do gótico no Brasil, a partir de uma abordagem fundamentada nas contribuições teóricas de França (2017), além de uma análise apoiada nos estudos de Todorov (2017) e de Roas (2014) para compreender o elemento fantástico presente no conto. Desse modo, será realizada uma introdução referente à contextualização histórica e literária do gótico, além de um panorama acerca da vida e de algumas obras de Machado de Assis que se configuram em um cenário gótico brasileiro. Em seguida, serão apresentados os elementos que caracterizam o gótico e o fantástico, respectivamente. Por fim, os conceitos teóricos apresentados serão aplicados à análise da obra. Com isso, pode-se argumentar que a relação com o medo e com a violência manifestam ainda mais o gótico nessa narrativa machadiana, e criam um campo fértil para o desenvolvimento do fantástico. As estratégias discursivas empregadas não apenas atenuam o efeito fantástico do conto, mas também amplificam sua atmosfera sobrenatural.
An analysis of policy-oriented jurisprudence at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY): A lemniscate of natural law, legal positivism and two liberalisms?
Authors: Nell Albert
Published: May 2024

Policy-oriented jurisprudence was used to substantively support certain arguments rendered by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in two cases, namely those against Dražen Erdemović and Pavle Strugar. Based on its limited use, the policy-oriented approach was clearly not a popular source of justification for arguments at the ICTY. However, its inclusion in structures of argument reveals at least some support for it. In the process of suggesting possible reasons why this particular theoretical approach was utilised in the justification of argument, this article aims to briefly discuss the broader philosophical tensions visible in the reliance on policy-oriented jurisprudence at the ICTY, viz, natural law/legal positivism, on the one hand, and the ‘two liberalisms’, identified by Darryl Robinson as inherent to international criminal law (ICL), on the other hand. Given that policy-oriented jurisprudence’s inclusion in ICL judgments makes its future invocation in ICL literature and judgments possible, the purpose of delving into the broader theoretical paradigms involved is important for the emergence of a coherent jurisprudence.

The demand for water vending machines has surged in India, particularly in urban Sectors like Airports, Metro station, malls, offices, Railway stations, Universities and other public sectors, where access to safe drinking water is a pressing concern. However, existing machines predominantly rely on digital and cash payments, posing challenges for individuals without smartphones or ready cash. To address this gap, we propose integrating a phone call facility into water vending machines, allowing users to make purchases via a simple phone call. Coupled with an integrated mobile application accessible nationwide, this system promotes inclusivity and convenience. By leveraging technology, we can ensure that clean water remains accessible to all, regardless of their digital capabilities or financial constraints, aligning with the principles of Digital India. Our goal is to address the challenge faced by individuals without access to cash or mobile phones. Through our in-machine phone call services, users can facilitate payments for others, promoting financial inclusivity. Additionally, our solution enables individuals worldwide to make payments seamlessly through a dedicated application.
Digital Humanities and Women's Studies: Perception of Women in the Founding Years of the Republic
Authors: Gencer Merve
Published: May 2024

This article examines the place of women in society, their emergence as individuals, and their changes over the years from the Ottoman period to the early years of the Republic. This study was conducted with the help of the Ottoman Turkish Discovery Portal-Muteferriqa. Thanks to its collections of printed sources published from the Ottoman Empire to the mid-Republic and its search facilities, the concept of woman, the subject of the research, has been examined comprehensively. In this sense, after briefly mentioning the developments in the field of digital humanities, the article deals with how women have shaped their existence in the historical process, starting roughly from the Tanzimat Period. Three magazines with different perspectives were focused on, and thus, the approach of all segments of society towards women was analyzed. These magazines are Süs, Sebilü’r reşad, and Akbaba. The research’s focal period is 1923, when the Republic was proclaimed. The reason for focusing on this year is that even in this period, which is seen as an indicator of the transition to modernity, there were reactions about women that were not expected. Concrete examples of this can easily be found when these three magazines are analyzed.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Lastly, future research might consider longer-term data collection methods and more intricate ways to gauge how employees react to work-life balance based on four working days in a week. The HRM needs to reconsider the current economic climate because the employees have access to a variety of offers in the market. Therefore, it is beneficial for the organization to start providing perks to their potential employees. There is a high risk of employee turnover if they are not satisfied with the job, in this case, the implication of the four working days policy can benefit the workplace. By using relevant keywords like Work system design, job satisfaction, employee performance, productivity, and JEL codes (J24, J28, and M54) the study becomes more noticeable and accessible. Our study implications emphasized the importance of performance metrics, including productivity and job satisfaction.
