Haroldo de Campos’ cannibalism translation theory boasts of distinct Brazilian cultural characteristics. With its rich and profound connotations, it has now become an important translation theory in the world. In China, Jiang (2003) first introduced cannibalism translation theory and it gradually aroused Chinese scholars’ academic interest. The current paper charts the developments of this theory by elaborating on its theoretical relationships with the West and China and exploring its theoretical value. Based on first-hand data, the paper focuses on the influences of the theory on translation studies in China. The study found that a) cannibalism translation theory has provided a new research perspective for Chinese translation studies scholars; b) it improved Chinese scholars’ understanding of Western and Chinese translation theories; c) it had a lasting academic influence on China’s translation studies.
Apology Speech Act in Indonesian and Japanese Language: A Comparative Method
Authors: Ardiati Riza Lupi
Published: January 2023

The speech act of apologizing is an expressive speech act that functions to maintain harmony between the speaker and the addressee. The speech act of apologizing is closely related to the politeness aspect, so it is necessary to pay attention to the strategy used. The strategy chosen must also reflect the true feelings for the effect of the apology to be conveyed. The pattern of speech act tends to be different in every language and this will give different impact on the readers. This research will discuss the apology speech act in two languages, Indonesian and Japanese, with their own uniqueness in delivering the messages. By referring to the approach of Cooperative and Politeness Principles from Leech (1993), the apologies that violate and obey the maxims will be found. This research is based on the data taken from novels and various “billboard” in Indonesia and Japan. The result of the research proves that the strategy of apologizing in Indonesian tends to be given directly by obeying the Cooperative Principles using the irony principle. On the other hand, Japanese language obeys more on the Politeness Principles because it has the element of hairyo hyougen or expression of consideration.
The Problem of Gendered Emojis in Online Communication Platforms: A Study to Understand Digital Dependence on Using Emotions During Pandemic
Authors: Ravi Rohini , Karmakar Manali
Published: January 2023

Digitalization, affordable smart gadgets, and social distancing have turned virtual communication into a lived phenomenon. However, we should be aware of the fact that the virtual communication process is entangled with positive and negative consequences. On the one hand, it has enabled people to develop a feeling of togetherness and belonging, and on the other, it is steeped in conflict and dispute due to the extensive use of emojis that are context-sensitive and are subjected to multiple interpretations. The problem of emojis connected with sexual connotations has not been studied in an online conversation parameter. Hence, the current study examines the sexual connotations that are embedded in the usage of non-facial emojis such as eggplant, cherry, etc., in virtual communication and analyses sexual connotations that are generated in closed group interactions. The methodology undertaken in this study is a quantitative experimental research method to collect data. Participants (N=64) will determine how certain context-sensitive emojis are perceived by them in closed group online conversations. Results suggest that non-facial emojis possess sexual connotations which are highly context-specific and used extensively in interpersonal conversations. In this way, this paper will prepare the ground to study more hidden sexual connotations in emojis.

Published: January 2023

The quality of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) was investigated at green (GR), yellowish–orange (YOR) and red ripening (RR) stages using viscometry, to identify the best ripening stage to maximally derive its nutritional values. Selected tomatoes were obtained from a local market in Osogbo, Nigeria at three ripening stages They were cleaned, grated, extracted with muslin cloth and centrifuged. The viscosity of the supernatant - fresh tomato juices (FTJ) was measured with an Ubbelohde viscometer and recorded on an hourly basis for 48 h. The data were analyzed with SPSS. The study established that the viscosity of FTJ ranged from 1.39 to 2.25 cP (GR > YOR > RR), but reduced at the first twelve hours of study and ranged from 1.12 cP (RR) to 1.65 cP (GR). At the last twelve hours of study, the viscosity of the three juices remained fairly constant and ranged from 1.12 to 1.24 cP (RR < YOR < GR). However, the levels of overall reduction observed in viscosities of the FTJ monitored for 48 h were 44.89% (GR), 19.46% (YOR) and 19.42% (RR), indicating poor quality retention in GR tomato. Thus, it is more nutritionally suitable to consume yellowish-orange and red ripen tomatoes.

Published: January 2023

Honey is a food rich in nutrients essential for human life and its composition as well as quality varies greatly. The study was conducted in Gamo Zone, Southern Ethiopia to determine the physicochemical properties of honey. A total of 20 honey samples were collected from farm gates and local markets. Honey quality parameters like moisture content, sugars (fructose, glucose, maltose and sucrose), pH, free acidity, HMF and ash (mineral) contents were tested according to the procedures described by International Honey Commission (IHC) (2009). The overall mean values of moisture, pH, free acidity, hydroxymethylfurfuraldehyde (HMF), total ash, electrical conductivity, fructose, glucose, maltose and sucrose of the analyzed honey samples were 19.27±1.99%, 3.80±0.24, 34.04±14.21meq/kg, 13.09±4.47mg/kg, 0.23±0.09%, 0.55±0.16mS/cm, 39.95±4.09%, 33.75±5.71%, 0.99±0.38% and 2.08±1.73%, respectively. Moisture content was significantly (p<0.05) affected by both agroecology and hive type for honey samples from farm gates. Honey samples from local markets had significantly (p<0.001) higher moisture, free acidity and sucrose content than honey samples obtained from households in three agroecologies. The study indicated that all honey samples obtained from farm gates and a majority of samples collected from local markets in the study area are of good quality and meet the national and international standard limits. However, some honey samples collected from local markets had a higher level of sucrose than recommended limit suggesting adulteration of honey.

Authors: Antunović Martina , Kovač Tomas Marija , Šarić Antonija , Lučan Čolić Mirela , Babić Jurislav , Kovač Tihomir
Published: January 2023

Aflatoxins (AF) are a group of toxic secondary metabolites mostly produced by strains of Aspergillus spp. fungi. There are several types of aflatoxins (AFB1, AFG1, AFB2, AFG2, AFM1, AFM2, etc.), but the most toxic and the most common is AFB1. Aflatoxins have been shown to possess powerful carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic properties. AFB1 can contaminate feed and food during the growth and/or storage under inappropriate conditions. When animals consume AFB1-contaminated feed, it undergoes various metabolic pathways and finally, it is metabolized into hydroxylated metabolite AFM1, which is possibly excreted in milk if the animal is lactating. This issue presents a huge concern regarding the representation of milk and dairy products in the human diet. Furthermore, climate changes have a significant impact on aflatoxin production. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and improve strategies for controlling and mitigating the occurrence of AFM1 in milk and dairy products. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the latest scientific literature regarding the occurrence of AFM1 in milk and dairy products.

Published: January 2023

The article deals with issues of clinical-psychological criteria of expert evaluation of competency to stand trial (CST) in juvenile offenders. Using the material of joint forensic psychiatric-psychological evaluations of 100 male juvenile offenders the authors singled out statistically significant indices of psychic activity, which differentiated groups of juveniles with and without CST. Three blocks of parameters for the CST expert evaluation are described. The first block includes the functioning character of the main cognitive processes, the second – the adequacy of social meanings understanding and of the ability to build logical conclusions on their basis, the third – the ability of social behavior regulation. The general controlling component of the system is critical thinking. Concrete empirical indices of the parameters are presented. The authors outline perspectives of the future development of the clinical-psychological analysis of the CST.

Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND: Today, minimally invasive coronary surgery is not only a good alternative to classical sternotomy, but also represents a separate developing area of cardiac surgery with the development of more and more low-traumatic techniques, such as minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass and minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MICSCAB).
CLINICAL CASE DESCRIPTION: The advantages and disadvantages of these techniques are widely discussed in modern literature, and their practical application is ambiguous. This article describes a clinical case of successful coronary artery bypass grafting using the MICSCAB technique in a patient with a long history of coronary artery disease and a complex multivessel lesion.
CONCLUSION: The presented clinical case proves the advantage of MICSCAB technique in comparison with traditional coronary bypass surgery.

Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND: Pilonidal disease is the 4th most common disease among inpatient coloproctological patients and surgery remains the gold standard of its treatment. However, patients with pilonidal disease often have combined conditions with other follicular occlusion diseases which are most often encountered by dermatologists in their practice. In most cases it is difficult to treat follicular occlusion syndrome with pilonidal disease within one specialty. We demonstrate the complexity of follicular occlusion diseases diagnostics in combination with pilonidal disease, systemize the diagnostic protocol for patient management and present the treatment strategy for coloproctologists.
CLINICAL CASE DESCRIPTION: There was one case of patient with pilonidal disease combined with other conditions of follicular occlusion syndrome noted in the clinic of coloproctology and minimally invasive surgery. Surgery was the first step. There were no complications in the early postoperative period. After hospital discharge, the patient was consulted by a dermatologist, and local and systemic conservative therapy was prescribed for concomitant diseases, which resulted in a significant improvement. There have been no recent reports of recurrence.
CONCLUSION: The treatment of follicular occlusion syndrome with pilonidal disease requires a multidisciplinary approach. At the same time the optimal treatment for pilonidal disease is radical excision of all altered tissues. In cases of such diseases as hidradenitis suppurativa, acne conglobata, dissecting cellulitis of the scalp treatment should be comprehensive and begin with a dermatologist consultation.
XVIII. Yüzyılın İlk Yarısında Zorunlu İskân Siyasetine Direnen Aşiretlerin Yol Açtığı Karışıklıklar: Erzurum Eyaleti Örneği
Authors: KAZDAL Mehmet
Published: January 2023

İskân kavramı, “sürekli oturmak üzere bir kimseyi bir yere yerleştirmek, yurt edindirmek, boş bir yeri meskûn hale getirmek” anlamlarına gelmektedir. İskân meselesinin tarihi süreç içerisinde bazen muhacirlere toprak bulmak bazen de devletin, egemenliği altındaki tebaasını zorunlu olarak farklı bölgelere yerleştirmesi şeklinde ortaya çıktığı görülmektedir. II. Viyana Seferi sonrası Osmanlı Devleti’nin Avrupa cephesinde yaptığı savaşlar Anadolu’da devlet otoritesinin yeterince hissettirilememesi sonucunu ortaya çıkarmıştı. Bu durum aynı zamanda Anadolu’daki konargöçer aşiretlerin birçok asayiş problemine ve devletin egemenliğinin simgesi olan vergileri toplayamamasına neden olmuştu. Neticede devletin hem idarî hem de malî açıdan sıkıntıya düşmesi yeni kararlar almasını gerektirmişti. Osmanlı Devleti yaşanan problemleri çözmek üzere asi olarak gördüğü konargöçer aşiretlerin bir kısmını zorunlu iskâna tabi tutma kararı almıştır. İskâna tabi tutulan grupların bir kısmının yerlerin terk ettiği veya gitmediği ilgili dönem belgelerinden anlaşılmaktadır. Çalışmamız yerlerini terk eden mezkûr grupların Osmanlı’nın coğrafyasının doğusundaki stratejik merkezlerinden sayılan Erzurum ve çevresinde çıkardığı karışıklıklar ve devletin aldığı önlemleri konu edinmektedir.

We do not need more Guidelines, nor more Drugs, nor more Combinations! The priority is a Medical Ecosystem that favors Evidence-Based Medicine, Personalization, Empowerment, Access, and Reflection
Authors: Morales-Villegas Enrique , Rodriguez-Martinez Hector
Published: January 2023

A growing number of publications evidencing the poor achievement of the therapeutic goals of the so-called atherosclerotic cardiovascular risk factors (especially hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, and diabetes). Many authors propose therapeutic inertia as the most compelling cause of this situation. This article aims to provide a vision from a dedicated cardiovascular prevention physician's perspective, based on four pillars (in order of importance): "face-to-face" assistance with social responsibility, clinical research, teaching, and consulting. Beyond the bureaucratic vision, it proposes the necessary conditions to achieve an efficient medical ecosystem (evidence-based medicine, personalization, empowerment, access, and reflection). Likewise, the therapeutic failure palliatives, as called by the author (more guidelines, more high-tech drugs, and more combinations of drugs), are exposed. These palliatives feed into a vicious circle and are insufficient to mitigate a medical-social problem, as is the cardio-metabolic risk and diseases
Antioxidant Effect of Lycopene on Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cell Line
Authors: Alabdulmunem Mosaad
Published: January 2023

Purpose: Diabetic retinopathy is a common cause of blindness among diabetics. Studies around the globe establish oxidative stress as one of the major players of diabetes and diabetic retinopathy. Epidemiological reports suggest that consumption of large quantity of fruits and vegetables of high carotenoid content decreases risk of diabetes-based complications including retinopathy. Lycopene is a potent antioxidant and a carotenoid family member having known health benefits. Thus, the present investigation was designed to evaluate the antioxidant property. Methods: The antioxidant potential of lycopene was determined using D407 retinal pigment epithelial cell lines through lycopene incorporation studies and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide cell cytotoxicity assay. Results: Lycopene showed good antioxidant effect in-vitro on retinal pigment epithelial cell line and it was devoid of any cellular toxicity in 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Conclusion: The results suggest that lycopene can be a potential candidate to halt the progression of diabetic retinopathy due to its effective defense against oxidative stress and non-toxic nature on the retinal pigment epithelial cells.

Published: January 2023

Emergency medical technicians (EMTs) are very likely to leave the profession due to their obligation to work in critical situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the ethical work climate and the intention to leave the service among EMTs.
In this descriptive correlational study, 315 EMTs working in Zanjan province were surveyed using the census method in 2021. The research tools included the Ethical Work Climate and the Intention to Leave the Service questionnaires. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 21.
We found the mean (SD) score of the organization's ethical workclimate to be 73.93 (±12.53), and the intention to leave the service12.54 (±4.52), which are at a moderate level.A statistically significant positive correlation existed between thesevariables (r = 0.148, P = 0.017). Also, there was a statisticallysignificant relationship between age and employment status amongthe demographic variables, and the ethical work climate and the intention to leave (P < 0.05).Our findings indicate that ethical work climate is one of the influential but less noticed factors that affect the performance of EMTs. Therefore, it is suggested that managers implement measures to develop a positive ethical work climate to reduce the tendency to leave the service among EMTs.

Polypharmacy: An Overview
Authors: Paidamwoyo Ganga Nelisa
Published: January 2023

Polypharmacy is a growing public health problem which is affecting multitudes worldwide. This emerging public health problem is defined as the routine use of five or more medicines by an individual patient. Many researchers believe that the prevalence of polypharmacy is going to keep increasing since more people are being diagnosed with chronic diseases. Polypharmacy is known to cause many problems such as adverse drug reactions, drug to drug interactions, wastage of resources and increased treatment costs. Countries should raise awareness of polypharmacy and find solutions to this problem. Healthcare professionals should be educated on the dangers of polypharmacy, medication safety and polypharmacy management. Polypharmacy management means a whole systems approach which avoids the use of unnecessary medication for multimorbid patients while maximizing pharmaceutical care. There is ongoing research to investigate polypharmacy because very little is known in the existing literature. This article describes polypharmacy in detail, including the prevalence of polypharmacy, the economic impact of polypharmacy, medication safety and polypharmacy management. This article aims to give a much deeper insight into polypharmacy.

Published: January 2023

Stevens Johnson Syndrome is a rare autoimmune disorder which includes skin and mucous membrane. In India, the incidence of Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) is 1.2 to 6 million patients per year. SJS is a very serious and life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction that can occurs due to infections (mycoplasma pneumonia) or as side effects of drugs (Sulfa Drugs, Phenytoin, Carbamazepine, Lamotrigine, Phenobarbital, Allopurinol, Piroxicam, Nevirapine and Diclofenac). Antibiotics can cause SJS and their contribution is around 40%. Fluoroquinolones are prescribed globally (11%) to treat lower respiratory tract infections, gastrointestinal and genitourinary infections. Norfloxacin and Ciprofloxacin are rarely associated with drug induced SJS. Most of the informative data, available on drugs induced SJS are based on case reports or case series. Here, we present three case reports of Fluoroquinolones induced SJS. In the following cases, patients had developed symptoms of SJS within two days. Whereas in Antibiotic induced SJS, it is reported that symptoms of SJS can appear within few days or even after a single dose of taking antibiotics. Therefore, we alleged that Fluoroquinolone could be the possible causative agent in our cases. The causality assessment had done based on the WHO-UMC causality scale and it was probable in all three cases of Fluoroquinolone induced SJS. This assessment generates a strong evidence that Fluoroquinolone induced SJS in all three cases. These patients were treated symptomatically with corticosteroids, parenteral solution and other non-pharmacologic agents and discharged after complete recovery.

A CULPA COMO REVERSO: A DESRESPONSABILIZAÇÃO DO ESTADO COM AS VÍTIMAS DA DITADURA MILITAR EM K. RELATO DE UMA BUSCA E OS VISITANTES, DE BERNARDO KUCINSKI
Authors: CALEGARI Lizandro Carlos , KALINOSKI Sandra De Fátima
Published: January 2023

This work analyzes the feeling of guilt in the works K. Relato de uma Busca (2011) and Os visitors (2016), by Bernardo Kucinski. The first book deals with the saga of a father in search of his daughter, Ana Rosa, probably murdered by torturers during the Military Dictatorship (1984-1985) in Brazil. The second consists of reviewing certain points of view presented in the first text from readers who visit the author and question him. It is noted, in several passages of the books, that the father feels guilty for the death of his daughter, while the State acts violently, including confessing certain crimes, without being punished or held accountable for his actions. These are books that promote reflection on the power exercised by the State both in the past and in the present, thus stimulating resistance to authoritarianism. To support this proposal, the theoretical assumptions of Sigmund Freud, Cathy Caruth, Giorgio Agamben and Márcio Seligmann-Silva are taken into account.
AQUÍ NO HA PASADO NADA: REFLEXÕES SOBRE O AUTORITARISMO CHILENO
Authors: ARAÚJO João Marcos Cilli de
Published: January 2023

The Constituent Assembly in Chile, as well as the protests that took to the streets of the country in 2019 and strengthened the cry for a new Magna Carta, liven up a debate on the memory and permanence associated with the Chilean dictatorship. It is in this context that we propose a reading of the film Aquí no ha pasado nada (2016), directed by Alejandro Fernández Almendras, seeking to demonstrate how the narrative, although set in the mid-2010s, promotes a strong reflection on authoritarianism. Chilean, whose roots not only remained after the fall of the dictator, but also have origins that predate him, going back to the country's slave-holding past and the genocide of native peoples. In order to do so, we resort not only to an analysis of the relationship between cinema and memory, as well as a possible relationship between the cinematographic work and literature.
TROPICAL SOL DA LIBERDADE: RESISTÊNCIA A PARTIR DA PERIFERIA
Authors: BURIANOVÁ Zuzana
Published: January 2023

This article examines the representation of resistance against the Brazilian military dictatorship in the novel Tropical sol da Liberdade (1988), by Ana Maria Machado, with the aim of analyzing the different peripheral perspectives that the narrative adopts. First, the text discusses the perspective of the characters who did not directly engage in the armed struggle, opting for other avenues of resistance. Next, it draws attention to the problem of the testimony genre, whose objectivity is questioned by the protagonist of the novel. Finally, it focuses on the female gaze, which is associated, among others, with the themes of the house and nature. Through the analysis of the “ex-centric” perspectives presented in this work, the article highlights its specific position in the context of the Brazilian narrative of the time that thematizes the military regime.
IMAGENS DA SECA NO CINEMA E A ELABORAÇÃO DE UMA MEMÓRIA DE VIOLÊNCIA
Authors: JERÔNIMO Anairan , SARMENTO-PANTOJA Augusto
Published: January 2023

The drought in the northeastern sertão is a historic calamity. Deaths due to drought in the region in the 19th and 20th centuries alone exceed 4 million people. The inefficiency of the State in dealing with these disasters, the abandonment of the victims and the silencing around the memory of this violence favors the erasure of the historical trauma. For Seligmann-Silva (2008), artistic narratives are a fruitful field to re-elaborate the memory of violence, and it is in the expression of the imaginary that the untranslatable of trauma achieves a certain translatability. This work aims to analyze the imagery-discursive construction of the subject punished by the drought and the sertão as a scenario of a historical and political calamity in the cinema. For that, we will make a comparative analysis of the construction of the image of Fabiano and Severino; protagonists of Vidas Secas, by Nelson Pereira dos Santos (1963) and Morte e Vida Severina, by Zelito Viana (1977).
CINEMA E REPRESSÃO: A VONTADE DE VERDADE DE JAFAR PANAHI
Authors: ALBERTONI Ramsés
Published: January 2023

The article analyzes the film In film nist (2011), by the Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi, as a form of resistance to the silencing imposed by the Iranian government on his artistic production, since, in 2009, the filmmaker displeased the authorities of his country by supporting Mir Hussein Mussavi, the opposition candidate in the presidential election. Thus, Panahi was sentenced to 6 years of house arrest and banned from filming for 20 years, however, the filmmaker called his cameraman friend Mojtaba Mirtahmasb to record his routine in one day inside his own apartment and produced a questioning film. Contemporary Iranian cinema inaugurated a new modality of realism, whose filmmakers build “documentary fictions”, in which scripts are inspired by real stories. The restorative realism of Iranian cinema seeks to restore a fullness to the complex reality that only cinema would be able to achieve, using, for this, the resumption of episodes that happened in the historical and social world. It must be considered that the production of discourses, in any society, is controlled with the aim of conjuring its powers and dangers, weakening the effectiveness of uncontrollable events, with the aim of hiding the forces that materialize the social constitution. In order for the “will to truth” to be satisfactorily exercised, external and internal procedures to the discourse are used. While procedures external to discourse limit the production of discourses, interdicting the word, and defining what can be said/not said in each circumstance, through the “object taboo” and the privileged or exclusive right of the speaker; the procedures internal to the discourse have the function of classifying, ordering and dictating their distribution.
BRAZIL'S AMAZON TO THE WORLD: PRESIDENT BOLSONARO'S DISCOURSE AT THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Authors: VICENTINI Juliana De Oliveira , COSTA Luciana Miranda , QUEIROZ Odaléia Telles Marcondes Machado
Published: January 2023

This paper analyzes the discourse on the Amazon of Brazil's president Bolsonaro at the UN General Assembly in 2020. The objective is to observe how the region has been integrated into the federal political agenda and the discursive strategies marked by “disinformation" adopted by Brazil's chief executive. We use the three-dimensional assumptions of Critical Discourse Analysis. Brazil’s president promoted inaccurate data, made unfounded statements, victimized himself, and kept silent about negative information related to his management. He sought to promote a distorted view on environmental management and on the Amazonian reality, putting the effective protection of the region at risk.
Dimensões subjetivas na Saúde Digital
Authors: Gonçalves Luís Henrique do Nascimento , Castro Leonardo Costa de , Rachid Raquel Requena , Penteado Bruno Elias , Fornazin Marcelo
Published: January 2023

As heterogêneas e contraditórias estruturas do capitalismo global vêm moldando de diferentes formas os significados sociais acerca da Saúde Digital e, com isso, também seu desenvolvimento e regulação. Para uma melhor compreensão destas questões, nesta revisão de literatura destacamos que tais estruturas contêm certas dimensões subjetivas que precisam ser investigadas de forma mais detida. Para isso, analisamos como a Saúde Digital se torna um espaço tanto de expansão das potencialidades humanas quanto para o acirramento dessas contradições estruturais. Discutimos como os modos de governamentalidade capitalista seriam atualizados junto a esses movimentos, moldando subjetivamente patologias, pacientes e o cuidado em saúde. Analisamos como esses processos podem se desdobrar em técnicas comportamentais que podem ser embarcadas em dispositivos e aplicativos de saúde e bem-estar, bem como suas consequências e riscos potenciais, o que exige atenção regulatória com participação social
Populismo digital e autenticidade fabricada na campanha de Jair Bolsonaro no Instagram
Authors: Maia Lídia Raquel Herculano , Spaniol Bruna Paiani Nasser , Klein Eloísa Joseane da Cunha
Published: January 2023

Esta pesquisa investiga a afirmação da autenticidade pelo compartilhamento do cotidiano no perfil do Instagram do candidato à Presidência da República Jair Bolsonaro e de alguns de seus apoiadores, nas eleições de 2018. Para tanto, sistematiza-se a análise empírica em torno de três categorias (identidade, transparência e engajamento) de autenticidade política, propostas no modelo teórico de Gilpin, Palazzolo e Brody (2010). Partindo de uma pesquisa exploratória, com abordagem qualitativa, empregamos o método abdutivo para análise de materiais publicados por esse político e alguns de seus apoiadores no Instagram. Concluindo que Jair Bolsonaro logrou criar para si uma imagem supostamente autêntica através da construção de uma identidade de “homem simples”; que demonstrava uma suposta transparência, ao tecer uma zona de contato direto com o eleitorado; deixando claro que necessitava do engajamento desses últimos para vencer a disputa e derrotar os “inimigos do povo”, numa retórica populista que se harmoniza com as lógicas de uso das mídias sociais
Informative architectures and citizen participation: a comparative study between the digital platforms Decidim and Rousseauv
Authors: Borges Junior Eli , Ferreira Bruno Madureira
Published: January 2023

To what extent does the way in which digital platforms are organized favor citizen participation? This article looks at this question using a comparative study between two digital informative architectures: the Five Star Movement’s (originally in Italian “Movimento 5 Stelle”) Rousseau platform in Italy, and the Decidim platform, developed after the 15M movement in Spain by a collaboration of entities from different countries. From a qualitative analysis of its architectures – in accordance with an approach based mainly on communication theory – we sought to investigate and describe the ways in which information circulates and operates, and the possibilities they offer for democratic actions. This was accomplished by analyzing two aspects of the platform: 1) the conception and development of codes; 2) the functions that the platform offers and its interaction with users. In this paper, we start from the central hypothesis that the communication conditions act as a base for the quality and levels of participation. Just as more verticalized communicative structures (such as those of traditional mass media) tend to concentrate decision-making processes and power, more horizontalized structures end up favoring more collaborative and democratic actions: thus, we aimed to verify the extent to which the modes of elaboration and organization of information on these platforms, operating in digital network contexts, enable broad and effective modalities of citizen action
Repensar a esfera pública política a partir das Câmaras de Eco: conceitos e questões metodológicas
Authors: Ferreira Sérgio Rodrigo da Silva
Published: January 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é conceituar Câmara de Ecos a partir de uma revisão de literatura e apresentar suas implicações metodológicas para estudos sobre esfera pública política em plataformas de redes sociais. Uma câmara de eco é uma estrutura epistêmica social na qual vozes dissidentes relevantes são ativamente excluídas e desacreditadas criando ambiências de homofilia. Essa homofilia mostra-se quando os usuários de plataformas de redes sociais interagem e associam-se apenas a outros semelhantes com exposição seletiva a conteúdos. A homofilia associa-se a processos de evasão a questionamentos e busca constante de reforço, traduzindo-se na tendência de consumir informações alinhadas as ideologias previamente constituídas apenas com viés de confirmação e na propensão a buscar, escolher e interpretar informações alinhadas com o próprio sistema de crenças, incluindo aí notícias que não condizem com a realidade. Concluímos que seja importante desemaranhar algoritmo e usuário em estratégias que considerem as dimensões da tecnologia da plataforma, do processo comunicativo de conversação e deliberação, e dos seus efeitos concretos na esfera política, bem como a identificação e delimitação objetiva de quais são os padrões homofílicos presentes em certos grupos nas plataformas
“Don’t Harass the Staff” Volunteer Satisfaction and Organizational Interpersonal Culture in Animal Shelters
Authors: Reese Laura A. , Jacobs Jacquelyn
Published: January 2023

Volunteers are a critical resource for many types of organizations, and efforts need to be made to foster their satisfaction and intention to continue their work. Using data from an online survey of 651 animal shelter volunteers, this research explores the role of staff/volunteer relationships in satisfaction with the volunteer experience and intention to quit. Based on correlational and regression analyses, the findings indicate that volunteers who are more negative about the staff/volunteer environment in their shelters were significantly less satisfied and more likely to think about quitting. Further there appears to be a relationship between the nature of the animal shelter and the roles of the volunteers and attitudes about the staff/volunteer environment, satisfaction, and intention to quit. Recommendations are made for policies and practices shelters can undertake to improve relationships between staff and volunteers.
