O NEGACIONISMO NÃO É UMA FORMA DE CETICISMO
Authors: Italo Lins Lemos  , Renato Cesar Cani
Published: September 2023

O nosso objetivo, neste artigo, é argumentar que o negacionismo não é uma forma de ceticismo. Enquanto o cético concede o seu assentimento às proposições que possuem evidências contundentes e suspende o seu juízo a respeito das proposições obscuras, o negacionista, segundo Lawrence Torcello (2016), rejeita um consenso científico por motivos que são independentes da pesquisa e do progresso das ciências. Além disso, o negacionista, mais do que negar uma tese bem estabelecida pela comunidade especializada, e longe de suspender o juízo acerca de proposições obscuras, sustenta categoricamente teses equivocadas que dizem respeito, por exemplo, ao formato plano (ao invés de geoidal) do planeta que habitamos. Em suma, argumentamos que os negacionismos, ao invés de corresponderem a formas de ceticismo, consistem em dogmatismos conspiratórios.
REDES SOCIAIS E O NEGACIONISMO COMO INDIFERENÇA
Authors: Silva José André Ribeiro
Published: September 2023

O objetivo deste trabalho é mostrar como a modelagem das redes sociais fortalece a difusão de conteúdos negacionistas e de teorias conspiratórias. Para tanto, detalha-se como as redes sociais possuem uma lógica viciante. Isso se deve ao fato de que o modelo econômico das empresas de tecnologia é centrado na atenção dos usuários. A estratégia é gerar mais engajamento para intervir em comportamentos. Com isso, as redes sociais produzem formas personalizadas de exposição dos conteúdos, para gerar o maior tempo possível de engajamento. Em vista disso, os conteúdos mostrados geralmente são os mais populares, em detrimento daqueles que são cientificamente organizados. Para elucidar essa dinâmica, utiliza-se a narrativa distópica do filme “Não olhe para cima”, que caracteriza de forma interessante o modo como a centralidade da comunicação vai ocupando o papel da ciência. A partir disso, concluise que o negacionismo não é somente um relativismo do conhecimento científico, mas um tipo de indiferença aos critérios da verdade científica que promove uma diluição da noção de verdade em uma forma de comunicação, característica das redes sociais.
ECOLOGIA LINGUÍSTICA DA PALAVRA-CHAVE “NEGACIONISMO”: DO ELEMENTO LINGUÍSTICO A UMA CRÍTICA SOCIOCULTURAL DE UM FENÔMENO DIFUSO
Authors: do Carmo Cláudio Márcio
Published: September 2023

O presente texto traz uma análise do negacionismo a partir da junção da Análise Crítica do Discurso – de maneira mais específica aquela que institui o raciocínio dialético como metodologia (Fairclough, 2015; 2018) – em interface com a Linguística de Corpus, inspirado no trabalho de Magalhães (2004), em sua abordagem de palavras-chave (Williams, 1976), para análise de corpus de pequena dimensão (Sinclair, 2001). A partir desse aporte, buscamos analisar um corpus de textos midiáticos sobre negacionismo, como contribuição para averiguar as relações lexicais que constroem uma argumentação e uma série de articulações que procuram sustentá-lo, bem como indicar os vieses com os quais ele se conecta numa tentativa fundante de desconstrução de saberes instituídos como o da ciência. Como resultado, percebemos a fragilidade do negacionismo, mas o perigo que representa ao sair do universo das ideias para o universo do comportamento, na forma de negação sem argumentação plausível ou com ela fragilizada e sem uma validação de propostas, gerando um ambiente insalubre para todos, especialmente para os próprios negacionistas.

Authors: Domenico Uhng Hur Domenico Uhng Hur
Published: September 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é refletir sobre o mecanismo da negação como uma estratégia psicopolítica que articula o movimento bolsonarista. Como método de trabalho, realizamos uma discussão teórica sobre alguns aspectos do movimento bolsonarista que são estruturados pelo negacionismo. Empregamos os conceitos da psicologia política, da esquizoanálise e da psicanálise de grupo para analisar este fenômeno. Para discutir os mecanismos de negação, constatamos quatro características principais: (i) a negação como estratégia discursiva, (ii) a lógica cognitiva da negatividade, (iii) a produção do antagonismo coletivo e (iv) a micropolítica do ódio, que é anterior à necessidade de um líder. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Psicologia Política. Extremismo político. Esquizoanálise. Grupo.

Authors: Wijayanti Aldani Putri , Iqbal Mirza Muchammad
Published: September 2023

Childhood adversity manifests in many forms, including inadequate nutrition, child neglect, domestic violence, and lack of parenting awareness. To prevent Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), mental health practitioners have performed some programmes across many countries. However, an evaluation of how the programme is considered effective and feasible for the long term needs to be conducted. Objective: The purpose of the review is to examine the feasibility and effectiveness of all the programmes on ACEs prevention and interventions in LMICs and to think about how, for whom, and under what circumstances the approaches are effective. Setting: Three programmes from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs): Thinking Healthy Programme (THP) performed in Peru, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Nigeria, Rwanda, Bolivia, FUSAM in Nepal, and GROSAME from Haiti were carefully assessed. Methods: A critical literature review focused on identified programme characteristics, success and challenges, and critics of the programme.  Results: ACEs prevention programs in LMICs settings need a comprehensive view of interventions, high response rates, quantification of eligible patients, and culturally acceptable intervention techniques. LMICs require a comprehensive policy framework to reduce ACEs to make preventative initiatives successful and sustainable. Conclusions: Findings suggest that collaboration and engaging with an extensive range of stakeholders on multiple fronts can reduce the impact of early adversity and trauma.
Ferroresonance Analysis Due to the Effect of External Faults on a 20 kV Voltage Transformer
Authors: Hidayatullah Maulana , Garniwa Iwa
Published: September 2023

Medium Voltage (MV) Switchgear is an essential component in the electric power distribution system with a working voltage of 20 kV. MW Switchgear consists of Circuit Breaker (CB) and Voltage Transformer (VT). VT is one component that often fails in MW Switchgear in the power distribution system, where conditions cause the VT iron core to saturate. This saturation zone will make whatever capacitance reactance value ( ) that generated from the power system network will be the same value as the inductive reactance value of the inductance VT ( ), which causes the impedance value to be zero. A very wide frequency range will be able to trigger a ferroresonance which results in a large current flowing on the primary side of VT and has the potential to cause failure in VT and MV switchgear, characterized by an explosion. This research will focus on the main causes of ferroresonance emergence due to external disturbance, 20kV VT specification and MV Switchgear. Ferroresonance simulation is carried out by ATPDraw Software, external disturbance variations, VT and MV Switchgear specifications are given for simulation to observe the response of VT’s voltage and current. The variables studied include disturbances of CB switching operations which have an impact on the emergence of variations in network capacitance values and produce subharmonic mode ferroresonance with voltage value reaches 150% of the nominal voltage for Cg = 0,005 – 0,1 µF and 275,5% of the nominal voltage for Cs = 0,05 – 1 µF, then disturbances of lightning impulse currents which will cause ferroresonance in networks with small capacitance values, this disturbance is very dangerous because it creates ferroresonance with the amplitude of the primary voltage VT can reach 14.391% of the rated voltage, and quasi-periodic mode’s ferroresonance resulting from a single phase to ground fault which reaches 201.47 % of the rated voltage value. The choice of a VT design with a voltage factor of 1.9Un/8h and an MV Switchgear design which loads the VT burden with an inductance composition that is greater than its resistance and approaches 80% of the VT burden specification can mitigate the emergence of ferroresonance

This study investigates whether data from existing sensor-based sorters could be used for this purpose. The results show that data recorded during sorting correlate strongly with ideal analysis data. Further-more, a correlation between the data of the first sorter and the output fractions of later sorting stages could be established. The results therefore show a great potential for the use of sensor-based sorting data.
Sulfur Dioxide Fluorescence Imaging
Authors: Jähne Bernd , Beronova Rada , Krall Kerstin E.
Published: September 2023

Sulfur dioxide is an ideal tracer to study the partitioning of the resistance of gas transfer across the water interface between air and water because the pH value in water controls the effective solubility of sulfur dioxide. Friman and J¨ahne [1] already demonstrated that it is possible to measure sulfur dioxide concentration profiles with laser induced fluorescence (LIF), but the best excitation wavelength under standard atmospheric conditions was not known. Here, we report the result of our investigation to select the best excitation wavelength for sulfur dioxide fluorescence to reach maximum intensity with the lowest possible absorption.

Authors: Mlynarik Marcel , Atkinson Gary A. , Smith Melvyn L. , Emrith Khemraj
Published: September 2023

This paper describes a novel computer vision method for the estimation of lycopene concentration in tomatoes using a multispectral imaging approach with up to 15 bands. It is shown that combining intensity measurements at wavelengths from near-infrared to ultraviolet using a neural network model achieved correlation of R2=0.977 and RMS error=4.63 mg/kg against ground truth lycopene concentration. Our results are comparable or superior to other methods from the literature, which are analysed in detail in the paper. The method can be reproduced with minimal cost and demonstrates the feasibility of the method for industrial application. The main contribution is that a broader range of wavelengths are considered compared to most previous work, with rigorous analysis using a combination of simple regression and artificial neural networks.

Authors: Iraji Bita , Roohbakhsh Far Hamid
Published: September 2023

Literature has a greater impact on the reader's mind than media, as it activates imagination, visualizes characters, and keeps their actions and behaviors in the reader's mind for longer periods. Famous literary works and authors attract more readers, causing greater effects if not adequately explained. The study, based on the constructivist paradigm, used a phenomenological strategy to show the negative effects of (constant) reading of the violence in Shakespeare's Hamlet, an English play that is one of the most famous literary masterpieces in the world. Participants in this study were educated men and women who had the capacity to comprehend violence in literature. The participants included ten educated individuals with various university degrees, from an associate degree to a doctorate, from different fields of study, and between the ages of 20 and 50. Participants' experiences and feedback were analyzed, and the results demonstrated that violent actions in stories can have great effects on the lives of not only the readers themselves but their families and also the whole society.
