The objective of the present experimental work is to obtain an appropriate welding parameter on pulsed current gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) ferritic stainless steel AISI 409L with a thickness of 4.5 mm. Frequency affected penetration, and the ratio of bead width to penetration (aspect ratio) is the main objective of the research. A Taguchi L9 orthogonal array with three level four factors was chosen to execute the bead on plate welding. It leads to optimize the input process parameters on main effect plot via analysis of variance, and it has imposed to determine their contribution level of each parameter with respect to responses. Taguchi optimized conditions for butts weld with the pulsed TIG and its surface morphology, and mechanical characteristics of AISI 409L weld was investigated. A full penetration with an optimal aspect ratio was accomplished using high‐frequency pulsing, according to the findings. The mechanical properties were characterized using Vickers microhardness and tensile tests on the base material and weld metals. Microstructural study revealed that these variables have a greater impact on the bead profile. Pulsed TIG showed maximum UTS of 445 MPa and a minimum of 385 MPa, with an average of three samples of 415 MPa. The weld metal in all of the zones had influenced superior tensile strength (UTS) as compared to base metal, according to the findings. The obtained strain percentage for both butt and TIG welds, however, was smaller than that of the parent metal. The formation of martensitic was attributed for the higher tensile strength with minimized ductility of the pulsed TIG welds. Furthermore, results on the hardness are in concurrence with the tensile experiments, as the zone for fusion has a higher hardness than the base metal. Corrosion behavior of the parent metal and welded specimen was analyzed using a potentio‐dynamic polarization technique. The electrochemical behavior of base material and weld samples confirmed that the overall corrosion resistance is better in parent material than the other zones.
Internet of Things Task Migration Algorithm under Edge Computing in the Design of English Translation Theory and Teaching Practice Courses
Authors: Guo Shangying
Published: June 2022

This study aims to improve the quality of English teaching in contemporary colleges and universities, so as to cultivate more English translation talents. Taking corpus, English translation, and teaching practice as the main research horizons, this study analyzes the application of master of translation and interpreting (MTI) course design, English translation, and task migration by combining the task migration algorithm under Internet of Things (IoT) with the self-built corpus, so as to realize the cultivation of translation talents and design of teaching practice. A translation corpus is constructed, a two-way interactive online course is designed, and the experimental results of the complete local migration algorithm (CLM algorithm), random migration algorithm (RM algorithm), and greedy heuristic migration algorithm (GHM algorithm) used in English teaching practice courses are analyzed and compared. The experimental simulation results reveal that the GHM algorithm proposed in this study shows good system stability, its duration is 60% better than that of the CLM algorithm, and its system throughput is increased by 50% compared with the CLM algorithm. In addition, the maximum delay time has little effect on the system throughput. When the system time slot length is fixed at 20 ms, the user migration rate of the genetic algorithm is the highest under the different total numbers of users. In addition, in view of the wide application of neural network in English translation teaching, this study establishes an English translation evaluation model based on the combination of particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and neural network and compares it with the traditional neural network model in simulation experiments. The results show that the addition of PSO algorithm can effectively improve the convergence speed of artificial neural network (ANN), reduce the training time of the model, and improve the accuracy of the ANN network. Using the PSO algorithm to train the neural network, the optimal solutions of different particle swarms can be obtained, and the error is small. The PSO-ANNs model can promote the quality of English translation teaching and improve the English translation ability of the students. Therefore, applying the task transfer algorithm and PSO algorithm to the practice of English translation teaching has greatly improved the efficiency of the English classroom. To sum up, this study provides new ideas for the curriculum design of contemporary college English teaching and has reference value for the cultivation of college English translation talents.
Analysis of Legal Attributes and Rights Attributes of Personal Information from the Perspective of Big Data
Authors: Yan Jingzhong
Published: June 2022

With the popularization and rapid development of Internet technology (IT), social activities based on the exchange of personal information are rapidly popularizing. Although the free flow of a huge volume of personal data meets the needs of information exchange, its illicit use poses legal risks to rights holders and infringes on the applicable rights and interests of the information subject. The ambiguity of the right attribute and legal attribute of personal information leads to the scattered protection of personal information in the legislative system in different legal norms. Based on this background, this paper constructs an evaluation index based on the legal attributes and rights attributes of personal information rights and proposes a rationality evaluation method for the attributes of personal information rights based on neural networks. The completed work is as follows: (1) focusing on the legal attributes and the right attribute is discussed in detail, and the dissimilar views of scholars at home and abroad are presented. (2) The back propagation neural network (BPNN) model structure required in this study is defined, and the evaluation index based on the legal attribute and right attribute of personal information right is produced. (3) Use big data technology to collect relevant data and compare the results obtained by the BPNN model with the results obtained by the improved BPNN model. The results show that the improved BPNN evaluate model has smaller error and higher accuracy.
Rules of Engagement: The Lymphocyte Receptor Ecosystem in Renal Cell Carcinoma
Authors: Krishna Chirag , Hakimi A. Ari
Published: June 2022

Immune receptor repertoires provide insight into the clonal distribution of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, yet the clinical implications of T-cell receptor (TCR) and B-cell receptor (BCR) repertoire diversity in cancer are unclear. In this issue of Cancer Research, Ferral-Fairbanks and colleagues reveal the interplay between repertoire diversity, tumor molecular features, and clinical outcome in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The authors show that aggressive tumors harbor increasingly diverse TCR and BCR repertoires and that both repertoires are altered by common RCC driver mutations. Moreover, the authors demonstrate that high TCR diversity is associated with improved overall survival. This study highlights the contribution of lymphocyte receptor dynamics to the emerging complexity of RCC antitumor immune responses.

Published: June 2022

Background:

Hispanic ethnicity differences in the risk of early-onset Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosed at <40 years are understudied. We conducted a population-based case–control study to evaluate associations between birth characteristics and early-onset Hodgkin lymphoma with a focus on potential ethnic differences.

Methods:

This study included 1,651 non-Hispanic White and 1,168 Hispanic cases with Hodgkin lymphoma endorsing a range of races diagnosed at the age of 0 to 37 years during 1988–2015 and 140,950 controls without cancer matched on race/ethnicity and year of birth from the California Linkage Study of Early-Onset Cancers. OR and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated from multivariable logistic regression models.

Results:

Having a foreign-born mother versus a United States–born mother (i.e., the reference group) was associated with an increased risk of early-onset Hodgkin lymphoma among non-Hispanic Whites (OR = 1.52; 95% CI, 1.31–1.76; P < 0.01) and a decreased risk among Hispanics (OR = 0.78; 95% CI, 0.69–0.88; P < 0.01). Among both race groups, risk of early-onset Hodgkin lymphoma increased with birthweight and maternal age (all Ptrends < 0.01). Among non-Hispanic Whites, each 5-year increase in maternal age (OR = 1.11; 95% CI, 1.04–1.18; Ptrend < 0.01) and paternal age (OR = 1.07; 95% CI, 1.02–1.13; Ptrend < 0.01) was associated with increased risk of early-onset Hodgkin lymphoma. Compared with female Hispanics, male Hispanics had an increased risk of early-onset Hodgkin lymphoma (OR = 1.26; 95% CI, 1.12–1.42; P < 0.01).

Conclusions:

Maternal birthplace may play a role in risk of early-onset Hodgkin lymphoma that differs by ethnicity.

Impact:

The ethnic differences observed between certain birth characteristics, maternal birthplace, and early-onset Hodgkin lymphoma raise questions about the underlying biological, generational, lifestyle, residential, and genetic contributions to the disease.

Published: June 2022

Progression from myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) to secondary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is associated with the acquisition and expansion of subclones. Our understanding of subclone evolution during progression, including the frequency and preferred order of gene mutation acquisition, remains incomplete. Sequencing of 43 paired MDS and secondary AML samples identified at least one signaling gene mutation in 44% of MDS and 60% of secondary AML samples, often below the level of standard sequencing detection. In addition, 19% of MDS and 47% of secondary AML patients harbored more than one signaling gene mutation, almost always in separate, coexisting subclones. Signaling gene mutations demonstrated diverse patterns of clonal evolution during disease progression, including acquisition, expansion, persistence, and loss of mutations, with multiple patterns often coexisting in the same patient. Multivariate analysis revealed that MDS patients who had a signaling gene mutation had a higher risk of AML progression, potentially providing a biomarker for progression.

Significance:

Subclone expansion is a hallmark of progression from MDS to secondary AML. Subclonal signaling gene mutations are common at MDS (often at low levels), show complex and convergent patterns of clonal evolution, and are associated with future progression to secondary AML.

The PI3K pathway may be a potential mechanism to overcome cisplatin resistance. We conducted a phase Ib trial of alpelisib and cisplatin for patients with solid tumor malignancies with planned dose expansion in HPV-associated tumors. The primary objective was to determine the MTD and recommended phase II dose. Two different weekly doses of cisplatin (30 and 35 mg/m2) were evaluated with escalating doses of alpelisib, administered daily during a 21-day treatment cycle. Twenty-three patients were enrolled: 91% received >3 prior regimens with median of 4 (range 1–10), and 78% progressed on prior platinum. The MTD was alpelisib 250 mg daily with weekly cisplatin 30 mg/m2. There were 3 DLTs: all grade 4 hyperglycemia. Frequent treatment-related adverse events of any grade included fatigue (52%), diarrhea (39%), nausea (38%), hyperglycemia (30%), anemia (22%), and nephropathy (17%). Hyperglycemia was linked to baseline hemoglobin A1C, but not body mass index. Twelve patients discontinued treatment for toxicity (n = 9 during cycle 1) and 11 discontinued for progression. Of 14 evaluable patients who received at least one treatment cycle, 4 (29%) patients demonstrated partial response, and 7 had stable disease for a disease control rate of 79%. The median PFS measured 4.3 months (95% CI, 1.6–4.5). No difference in PFS was observed between PIK3CA-mutated and wild-type tumors. While the combination of alpelisib and cisplatin demonstrated preliminary evidence of activity despite platinum resistance, toxicities hindered prolonged treatment. Prospective studies are planned using carboplatin and alpelisib to improve toxicity and tolerability.

Significance:

The PI3K inhibitor alpelisib has limited activity alone, but there is interest in combinations in platinum-resistant tumors. In this phase Ib study of alpelisib with cisplatin, the objective response rate measured 29% but adverse events limited dose intensity. These promising results provide rationale for studying combinations with better tolerated platinum agents.

Published: June 2022

Timely receipt of colorectal cancer screening can reduce morbidity and mortality. This is the first known study to adopt Andersen's model of health services use to identify factors associated with colorectal cancer screening among U.S. adults. The data from National Health Interview Survey from 2019 was utilized to conduct the analyses. Multivariable logistic regression was used to separately analyze data from 7,503 age-eligible women and 6,486 age-eligible men. We found similar colorectal cancer screening levels among men (57.7%) and women (57.6%). Factors associated with higher screening odds in women were older age, married/cohabitating with a partner, Black race, >bachelor's degree, having a usual source of care, and personal cancer history. Factors associated with lower odds for women were American Indian/Alaska Native race, living in the United States for ≤10 years, ≤138% federal poverty level (FPL), uninsured or having Medicare, and in fair/poor health. For men, factors associated with higher screening odds were older age, homosexuality, married/cohabitating with a partner, Black race, >high school/general educational development education, having military insurance, having a usual source of care, and personal cancer history. Factors associated with lower odds for men were being a foreign-born U.S. resident, living in the South or Midwest, ≤138% FPL, and being uninsured or having other insurance. Despite lower screening rates in the past, Black adults show a significantly higher likelihood of colorectal cancer screening than White adults; yet, screening disparities remain in certain other groups. Colorectal cancer screening efforts should continue to target groups with lower screening rates to eliminate screening disparities.

Significance:

Timely receipt of colorectal cancer screening can reduce morbidity and mortality. Identification of populations and domains of factors associated with colorectal cancer screening receipt among men and women can help future interventions to alleviate impeding factors and target screening promotion efforts in populations not adherent with screening guidelines.
Electroencephalographic-Based Functional Connectivity Networks of Visual Hallucinations and Visuospatial Dysfunctions in Parkinson’s Disease

Published: June 2022

Visual dysfunction is an important nonmotor symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Visual hallucinations (VHs) and visuospatial dysfunctions (VSDs) are common visual dysfunctions in PD; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Our study aimed to evaluate neuronal synchronization between patients with PD with and without VH or VSD using electroencephalographic (EEG) coherence analysis. Twenty-four patients with sporadic PD were evaluated for the presence of VH and VSD, and were divided into VH-negative and VH-positive groups, and these groups were further subdivided by VSD status. Coherence analysis was performed on EEG data. Whole-brain and regional coherences were calculated and compared between the groups. There was a significant difference in frontal-frontal coherence between the VH+ VSD− and VH+ VSD+ groups (p = 0.026). Our findings suggest that reduced EEG coherence in frontal regions might be involved in VSD in patients with PD. Reduced neuronal synchronization between the frontal lobes may contribute to the disruption of visual processing in PD.
Home Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Why, Who, and How?
Authors: Köhnlein Thomas , Schwarz Sarah Bettina , Nagel Stephan , Windisch Wolfram
Published: June 2022

Advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) might result in chronic hypercapnic ventilatory failure. Similar to neuromuscular and restrictive chest wall diseases, long-term non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) is increasingly used in chronic hypercapnic COPD. This review describes the methods, patient selection, ventilatory strategies, and therapeutic effects of long-term Home-NPPV based on randomized controlled clinical trials published since 1985 in English language retrieved from the databases PubMed and Scopus. Long-term NPPV is feasible and effective in stable, non-exacerbated COPD patients with daytime hypercapnia with arterial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) levels ≥50 mm Hg (6.6 kPa), if the applied ventilatory pressures and application times improve baseline hypercapnia by at least 20%. Patients who survived an acute hypercapnic exacerbation might benefit from long-term NPPV if hypercapnia persists 2–4 weeks after resolution of the exacerbation. Pressure-controlled ventilation or pressure-support ventilation with adequate minimum backup breathing frequencies, in combination with nasal masks or oronasal masks have been successfully used in all larger clinical trials. Ventilatory strategies with mean inspiratory pressures of up to 28 cm H2O are well-tolerated by patients, but limitations exist in patients with impaired cardiac performance. Home-NPPV with a PaCO2-reductive approach might be considered as an additional treatment option in patients with stable chronic hypercapnic COPD.

Published: June 2022

A 41-year-old woman presented with a large medial canthal lesion that extended over the midline. Excisional biopsy revealed a multinodular basaloid tumor, located within the dermis and subcutaneous fat that extended into skeletal muscle at the deep and peripheral margin. Histology was consistent with trichoblastoma. A review of the literature reveals a lack of specific and sensitive immunohistochemistry markers to establish the diagnosis of trichoblastoma. Following reconstruction, the patient has shown no signs of recurrence of the lesion at 24 months.
Anterior Chamber Shallowing from the Early Stage of Surgery and Suprachoroidal Effusion during Clear Corneal Small-Incision Cataract Surgery: A Case Report
Authors: Okubo Atsushi , Nakagawa Suguru , Ogawa Shun , Ishii Kiyoshi
Published: June 2022

Suprachoroidal effusion (SCE) is a rarely observed complication due to the recent generalization of clear corneal small-incision cataract surgery. We report a case of anterior chamber shallowing (ACS) from the early stage of surgery and SCE during clear corneal small-incision cataract surgery. A 69-year-old man was referred to our department for primary open-angle glaucoma and grade 2 nuclear cataract. The intraocular pressure (IOP) was 18 and 12 mm Hg in the right and left eyes with the instillation of three antiglaucoma eye drops in both eyes, respectively, and deep anterior chamber and normal axial length were observed. At the age of 70 years, which was 4 months after the initial visit to our department, the IOP of the right eye increased to 30 mm Hg. Hence, cataract surgery and microhook ab interno trabeculotomy (μLOT) of the right eye were scheduled. Mild ACS was observed during continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC), and ACS worsened as the surgery progressed, making the surgery progressively challenging. SCE was observed by fundus examination after phacoemulsification and cortex removal, and the wound was immediately closed with a suture. The IOP was 28 mm Hg on postoperative day (POD) 1 and decreased to 14 mm Hg on POD 5. SCE disappeared on POD 12. On POD 18, intraocular lens implantation into the bag and μLOT were performed under general anesthesia. Subsequently, the IOP decreased to 15 mm Hg 3 months after the surgery. Mild ACS was already present at the time of CCC, so it is possible that SCE occurred in the early stage of surgery. If ACS is observed intraoperatively, especially if there are SCE risk factors, such as hypertension, glaucoma, and lung cancer, as in this case, and even if the eye has deep anterior chamber and normal axial length preoperatively, fundoscopic examination should be performed even at an early stage of clear corneal small-incision cataract surgery to rule out SCE.

Published: June 2022

Considerando que a literatura crítica ao neoliberalismo considera que sua expansão inverteu a primazia do planejamento governamental sobre a gestão fiscal dos entes governamentais, esta pesquisa, assumindo a existência da primazia da gestão fiscal sobre o planejamento, investiga a relação entre resultado primário e resultado nominal com os investimentos nos estados brasileiros e verifica o efeito que os ciclos políticos provocam nesta relação no período de 2001 a 2018. Para tanto, foram utilizados modelos de regressão linear múltipla com erros clusterizados por estados e por ano. Os resultados evidenciam a existência de relação positiva entre a gestão fiscal e planejamento nos estados brasileiros, confirmando a literatura e nossa hipótese de pesquisa. Além disso, a pesquisa evidenciou que os ciclos políticos eleitorais interferem na relação entre gestão fiscal e planejamento governamental, uma vez que os investimentos aumentam nos períodos pré-eleitorais.

Entre ruptura e retomada: crítica à memória dominante da bossa nova
Authors: Vargas Herom , Bruck Mozahir Salomão
Published: June 2022

Neste artigo, propomos problematizar a memória dominante da bossa nova que a identifica como um rompimento com as linguagens do samba-canção, do bolero e do samba – este na forma como era tocado ao violão na época – como uma estética de ruptura que estabeleceu para a música popular brasileira um marco original e moderno. O novo da bossa nova merece ser repensado, pois, ao analisar a gênese do gênero e os aspectos musicais e de linguagem, é possível observar que, em parte, ele apenas reconfigurou ou deu nova plasticidade ao samba e ao samba-canção, permanecendo tributária e ligada dessas linhagens da canção. Os conceitos de memória coletiva, de M. Pollak, e de cultura como memória, de I. Lotman, são a base conceitual da argumentação.

A Igreja Universal e suas “mídias”: uma análise crítica sobre religião, mídia e secularismo
Authors: Ciochetti Vitor Miranda
Published: June 2022

Neste artigo, propõe-se pensar a reconfiguração do secularismo brasileiro, marcada pelo ativismo evangélico pentecostal na esfera pública e o consequente declínio da hegemonia da Igreja Católica no país. A partir de uma revisão crítica da literatura sobre religião, mídia e secularismo, tomamos o Templo de Salomão, da Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus, como objeto privilegiado desta reflexão. Analisando a visibilidade midiática de algumas cenas e narrativas sobre o Templo de Salomão, apontamos para a importância da incorporação de novas mídias no repertório religioso da IURD como fator de transformação das práticas de mediação religiosa em curso no país. Busca-se sustentar que as dinâmicas de publicidade da formação estética inspirada em uma concepção mítica de Israel, materializada nos mais diversos objetos, edifícios, cerimônias, gestos, performances e símbolos pelas igrejas pentecostais, tornaram-se um fator importante para a emergência do Pentecostalismo como uma religião pública.

Neste artigo apresentaremos como o rock pesado de uma forma geral com o heavy metal e seus subgêneros, foi capaz de fomentar uma forma de pertencimento e sociabilidade no início da Comunidade Caverna de Adulão em Belo Horizonte. O que notamos com a pesquisa é que no princípio o rock se tornou o elemento fundador principal na socialização dos jovens para comunicar o Evangelho na própria linguagem e cultura da tribo urbana headbanger e posteriormente, outros elementos entraram em seu lugar. A metodologia consistiu em revisão bibliográfica, tendo como teórico principal o sociólogo Michel Maffesoli em diálogo com outros autores. Na pesquisa de campo utilizamos o método socioantropológico-etnográfico que aconteceu com a observação participante e com a técnica de grupo focal.

Haja vista a emergência de novas religiosidades e práticas rituais esotéricas a partir do final do século XIX, tendo como ápice o movimento da Nova Era, este artigo pretende analisar a Missa Gnóstica thelêmica e suas reconfigurações contemporâneas enquanto performances que permitem aos sujeitos que as praticam uma transformação ativa de si e do mundo, promovendo um estar-no-mundo outro segundo valores. A Missa é um dos principais ritos de Thelema, sistema mágico-religioso fundado e desenvolvido por Aleister Crowley a partir de 1904. Para tal análise, utilizar-se-á das considerações de Ernesto de Martino (2004[1948]; 2012[1956]) acerca da crise de presença e reintegração religiosa, de Silvia Mancini (2018), sobre os estados alterados de consciência, e de Stanley Tambiah (2018[1985]) no que tange à análise performativa de ritual.
Vai-Vai e um privilégio que não é pra qualquer um: protegido e abençoado por Ogum
Authors: Candido Felipe Dias
Published: June 2022

Esse artigo apresenta uma breve visão a respeito da influência religiosa que a Escola de Samba Vai-Vai tem em seu cotidiano e transmite aos seus integrantes. Tais referências vão desde as católicas europeias, até as afro-diaspóricas, em especial a devoção que a agremiação tem com relação à Ogum, orixá regente da escola. Essa forma de expressar a fé, tão própria da escola de samba, festiva e sincrética – mas ainda assim, sagrada -, faz parte do dia a dia da escola, e festas votivas fazem parte do calendário anual da agremiação. Mas não é só. Nos desfiles de carnaval – momento de maior visibilidade que as agremiações têm ao longo do ano - essa religiosidade também se evidencia, com representações de divindades aparecendo nos cortejos, com destaque às representações de Ogum, que apareceram com mais frequência, nos desfiles dos últimos anos.

"Oju D´agu" de Manuel Veiga: uma proposta de leitura
Authors: Duarte Dulce Almada
Published: June 2022

É sem sombra de dúvida à literatura oral que Manuel Veiga foi buscar não só a inspiração, mas a técnica de elaboração da sua obra, numa associação, original entre nós, da oralidade e da escrita. O autor apresenta-nos uma narrativa romanesca que se desenrola a partir de determinadas condições sócio-culturais e históricas que se encontram na gênese das situações descritas. A narrativa é o testemunho de uma experiência vivida numa época determinada – a colonial e, sobretudo, numa fase de transição para a independência. Ela assume o aspecto de um documento histórico, mas o discurso não deixa de ser o de uma obra de imaginação. Tal como acontece em muitos dos romances africanos nos quais se faz a denúncia do colonialismo, "Oju dAgu" associou o testemunho histórico à narrativa imaginária.
África: do continentalismo à fase das conversações globais
Authors: Mourão Fernando A.A.
Published: June 2022

O uso do conceito de Terceiro Mundo no plano africano precisa ser reexaminado a fim de situar a sua utilização ao nível das relações internacionais como instrumento político. Uma das maiores dificuldades para a compreensão do conceio de Terceiro Mundo deve-se ao fato de que se trata de um conceito criado e desenvolvido, como instrumento de análise, fora do contexto dos países africanos. Idéia exógena, portanto, a estes. O conceito deve-se a um tipo de raciocínio necessário como instrumentação a uma nova divisão entre os países, que se impunha a partir da Segunda Guerra Mundial. O pensamento linar ocidental dividiu o mundo a partir de uma dualidade, com variações semânticas, ao longo de grandes períodos, numa perspectiva de legitimação do processo de dominação.

Integration in a Nigerian society in the nineteen century: the llorin example
Authors: Danmole H. O.
Published: June 2022

This is a historical study of the process of integration in Ilorin in the nineteenth century. The concept of integration is a background to the study. This concept, as argued in the paper is not only relevant to modern nation states but also traditional Africa societies in general and Ilorin in particular. Ilorin was a heterogeneous society at the beginning of the nineteenth century, however, the role of the ruling elite in the distribution of political offices; the use of religious idiom of Islam; and the hostility shown towards Ilorin by her southern neighbors brought the people together. Furthermore, the military class was an integrative factor. Indeed, the economy of Ilorin promoted intergroup relations which led to diffusion of cultures which at the end of the century produced a distinct Ilorin culture.

Da diversa produção etnográfica sobre Angola há a destacar os trabalhos dos missionários católicos da congregação do Espírito Santo e os trabalhos dos missionários protestantes. Todos eles de origem não portuguesa.

Contribución al estudio del poblamiento africano en Cuba
Authors: Pérez Jesús Guanche
Published: June 2022

Procurando apresentar aspectos concretos sobre a questão do povoamento africano em Cuba, o autor considera que o desaparecimento das populações nativas – devido a suicídios e rebeliões reprimidas pelo colonizador – e conseqüentes necessidades de substituição de força de trabalho, são fatores que determinaram a introdução da escravidão africana naquele país. O fato, entretanto, não aparece como processo isolado, mas sim como produto de uma política global de saque por parte das potências dominantes, incluindo-se nessa política a expansão espanhola. O trabalho apresenta dados sobre as etnias, grupos lingüísticos, origens, número de escravos introduzidos, composições por sexo, etc., permitindo conhecer sinteticamente o tema proposto.

O mulato de Portagem: análise literária

O autor tem em conta a dimensão sociológica da questão bem como a organização literária da obra em sua tentativa de evidenciar as situações de conflito.
Deux petit pas de danse: le nom de la cruisse en Egyptien Ancien
Authors: Anselin Alain
Published: June 2022

L’article poursuit une direction de recherche, prônée par Cheikh Anta Diop (1954, 1977) et que l’égyptologue Weerner Vycichl (1992) tient aujourd’hui pour féconde, celle des liens de l’égyptien ancien à l’assemble des langues africaines. La recherche se fonde sur l’étude lexicographique, phonétique et sémantique de quelques items anatomiques et culturels (le pied, ib. 3, en égyptien et en couchitique; la cuisse *gVm, non attestée en égyptien, mais commune au tchadique, au nilo-saharien et au berbère; la cuisse, mn.ty<*bVI, commune à l’égyptien, au chadique, au couchitique, à l’omotique, et au bantu; et la danse, *kVskVs, en égyptien (où elle désigne aussi la saltation royale du roi de Koush (Napata) et en couchitique). L’auteur entreprend de mettre en évidence les éléments d’une parenté indéniable des manières de danser de l’Egypte ancienne et de son environnement humain, linguistique et culturel africain, où les danses fondées sur le saut et le pied prédominent et/ou organisent les mouvements des corps qui se plient. De ce point de vue, la culture et le lexique égyptien concordent avec maint trait caractéristique des danses de l’Est africain, mais aussi des Peuls de l Ouest africain
