Hopefully, this condition can increase student motivation and achieve satisfactory learning outcomes in practical activities.
URVASHI O JOHNNY: A POIGNANT LAMENT FOR THE MARGINALIZED AND A CALL FOR CHANGE IN MAHASWETA DEVI'S DRAMATIC VISION
Authors: Patteti Raja Sekhar , Rao Songa Srinivasa
Published: December 2024

Mahasweta Devi’s Urvashi O Johnny (1976) is a powerful exploration of romantic idealism, social ethics, and existential despair against the backdrop of urban poverty in Calcutta. The play follows Johnny, a ventriloquist whose passion for Urvashi symbolizes his quest for personal and collective freedom in a world crippled by systemic oppression. Johnny’s relentless pursuit of happiness, his guilt over abandoning One-Eyed Moti, and his ultimate sacrifice mirror the struggles of the marginalized in a society defined by greed and moral decay. Employing poetic language, folk songs, and raw dialects, Devi critiques the suppression of dissent and the dehumanization of the underprivileged, while celebrating their resilience and compassion. The play is both a lamentation of lost voices and a call to action, exposing the fractures of modern civilization and challenging the audience to rethink their role in perpetuating inequities.

THE INTERPRETERS OF POSTCOLONIAL NIGERIA: WOLE SOYINKA’S VISION OF IDENTITY, CULTURE, AND SOCIO-POLITICAL CRITIQUE
Authors: Patteti Raja Sekhar , Sampath Gummadi
Published: December 2024

Wole Soyinka’s The Interpreters (1965) is a seminal exploration of postcolonial identity, societal contradictions, and intellectual alienation in a newly independent Nigeria. Recognized for its innovative modernist techniques, the novel foregrounds a group of educated Nigerian protagonists grappling with the ethical, cultural, and existential challenges of their era. This paper investigates the characters’ navigation of conflicting legacies—colonial modernity and indigenous heritage-while critiquing the socio-political fabric of post-independence Nigeria. Through Egbo, Sagoe, Sekoni, Bandele, and Kola, Soyinka interrogates themes of existentialism, corruption, cultural erosion, and the role of the intellectual in nation-building. This analysis highlights how The Interpreters not only articulates the disorientation of its characters but also engages with broader philosophical questions about agency, freedom, and collective identity.

Authors: Kalita Bhanita
Published: December 2024

Vocational education is the term used to describe training programs or courses intended to prepare people for certain crafts, trades, or occupations that call for practical knowledge and experience. In contrast, typical academic education tends to emphasise theoretical knowledge. Learning skills that are directly applicable to a given career is emphasised in vocational education. It plays a crucial part in the development of young people by preparing them for the most important skills. Other elements, such government policy, as well as the educational component of the vocational school itself, must support the crucial role of vocational education. A key component of contemporary educational systems, it is necessary for creating a well-rounded workforce, stimulating innovation, and improving individual prospects.By giving young people the skills they need to create fulfilling occupations, make economic contributions, and develop socially and personally, vocational education promotes youth development and eventually results in more inclusive and sustainable societal growth.This paper aims to demonstrate how vocational education affects young people's growth. This study attempts to investigate how vocational education affects young people.

THE TRANSFORMATION OF RURAL BENGAL AMIDST THE STRONG WAVE OF GLOBALIZATION: CONTEXTUALIZING DEBESH RAY’S NOVEL
Authors: Choudhury Barunjyoti
Published: December 2024

"My grandfather's forest, Ranga-didi's zamindar house, and the earlier Baghmara house where I was born. Perhaps something of that house stayed with me. Towards the north of Baghmara, behind a somewhat tall house, was a large, tree-covered, secret pond with dark water."The vivid description reflects not just his nostalgia but also the socio-cultural essence of rural Bengal, which forms the backbone of his literary works. At the age of just seven, Debesh Ray moved from East Bengal (now Bangladesh) to Jalpaiguri. As a result, he did not retain any strong memories of Bangladesh. Since he left at such a young age, it is natural that his recollection of his early childhood would be limited. Debesh Ray was opposed to indulging in nostalgia without reason. He wrote: "In West Bengal, those who came from East Bengal have turned Bangladesh into a permanent land of memory, locked within a perpetual settlement. I try to save myself from getting caught up in this emotional quagmire."
MAPPING THE MARGINS: A SOCIO-CULTURAL STUDY OF TISTAPARER BRITANTO
Authors: Choudhury Barunjyoti
Published: December 2024

We aim to reinterpret old Bengali narrative literature through the lens of modern novelistic experiences, much like Mikhail Bakhtin delved into ancient European carnival literature, Greek comedy, Menippean satire, and Christian confessional writings to analyze Dostoevsky’s novels. Without modern novelistic aesthetics, it would have been impossible to uncover the narrative lineage from ancient and medieval literature to contemporary times. Bakhtin’s exploration of the past was intended to expand the aesthetic scope of the modern novel and to define its unique features. Similarly, we must also approach Bengali's old narrative literature using the aesthetic principles of the modern novel.

Revisitando as fontes de recursos do BNDES: de volta ao FAT
Authors: Guerra Carlos Renato , Araujo Victor Leonardo Figueiredo Carvalho de
Published: December 2024

Após a promulgação da Constituição Federal de 1988, o Fundo de Amparo ao Trabalhador (FAT) assumiu o papel de principal fonte de funding do Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social (BNDES). Entretanto, em razão de suas características, esta fonte de fundos é compatível somente com um padrão de baixas taxas de crescimento do produto e do investimento. Após 2004, quando a economia brasileira entrou em trajetória de aumento das taxas de crescimento do produto e do investimento, o FAT se mostrou esgotado e incapaz de atuar como principal fonte de funging do BNDES, em contexto de um mercado de capitais ainda concentrado no curto prazo e, portanto, uma economia ainda dependente de seu principal banco de desenvolvimento. A solução arquitetada em 2009, na forma de empréstimos do Tesouro Nacional (TN) ao BNDES, constituindo um subsídio, foi desmontada a partir de 2016, e o BNDES voltou a ser dependente do FAT como principal fonte de funding. Entretanto, as condições de esgotamento do FAT vigentes até 2008 persistem. O BNDES voltou, portanto, a ser dependente de uma fonte de funding esgotada, compatível apenas com uma economia de baixo crescimento, mas incapaz de sustentar o crescimento sustentado do investimento.

Published: December 2024

A doação de sangue é uma atividade fundamental para salvar vidas e atender às necessidades de pacientes em todo o mundo. No Brasil, apenas 1,8% da população doa sangue voluntariamente por ano, o que está abaixo das recomendações da Organização Mundial da Saúde, que preconiza que 3% a 5% da população deveria doar sangue anualmente para manter os estoques adequados de sangue no país. Neste projeto, a tipagem sanguínea é utilizada como uma forma de atrair a atenção do público e conscientizar a população sobre a importância da doação de sangue. O objetivo é proporcionar uma atividade para esclarecer dúvidas referentes à doação de sangue e conscientizar a população da importância deste ato. O projeto tem um público-alvo amplo, pois além da realização de atividades em escolas, contando com a participação de crianças e adolescentes, são realizadas também atividades em eventos da própria instituição envolvendo a comunidade interna e externa da universidade. As atividades incluem testes de tipagem sanguínea, jogos, rodas de conversa e adaptações online de apresentações usando TikTok, utilizando dedoches (fantoches de dedo) para abordar o assunto durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Os resultados preliminares são promissores tanto para o aluno de graduação, que trabalha suas habilidades de comunicação e troca de saberes com o público, como para a comunidade participante, que tem mostrado motivação para essa ação solidária, além de sanar suas dúvidas e desmistificar tabus que muitas vezes impossibilitam pessoas a doarem sangue.

Na Educação Básica brasileira existem muitas visões distorcidas sobre a natureza das Ciências e sobre o trabalho do cientista, ocasionando, entre outras coisas, uma grande dificuldade para que alunas meninas se enxerguem como futuras cientistas. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi proporcionar contextos de reflexão sobre o papel dos cientistas e a atuação das mulheres em diferentes áreas científicas para estudantes dos cursos técnicos de Química e de Agropecuária de uma escola pública técnica estadual de Foz do Iguaçu – PR. Neste trabalho, foi realizada uma pesquisa exploratória, de natureza qualitativa com aspectos quantitativos, para compreender o ponto de vista dos sujeitos da pesquisa sobre questões relevantes da Educação. Um minicurso teórico-prático com tema “polímeros” foi ministrado aos alunos. Durante as atividades, foram discutidas a participação de mulheres nas Ciências, a Universidade e as possibilidades de ingresso. Foram utilizados questionamentos pré e pós teste para coleta de dados. Inicialmente, observou-se que Albert Einstein era o cientista mais conhecido entre os estudantes e que, inclusive, representava a figura de cientista que a maioria dos estudantes possuía. Ao final das atividades, os estudantes também citaram a física e química Maria Curie, a zootecnista Mary Temple Grandin, entre outras mulheres, o que demostrou que houve mudança nas visões apresentadas pelos estudantes sobre a participação das mulheres nas Ciências Exatas. Os resultados deste trabalho apontaram a necessidade de abordar no Ensino Médio e Técnico esse aspecto da natureza da ciência, sendo ela uma construção humana e que as mulheres já deram inúmeras contribuições nas áreas científicas e acadêmicas.

Tales from the Vaults
Authors: Pelletier Louis
Published: December 2024

Cinema's multiple lives as an art, a form of entertainment, an industry, or a tool for education and propaganda all share one thing: they rely on machines and technical objects. For more than a century, this essential fact has shaped the life cycle of moving images, from their production and exhibition to their eventual preservation. The tales told by these pieces of cinemachinery, from the iconic to the seemingly mundane, are consequently apt to reveal how cinema developed in often widely different ways around the globe. Yet, these tales also frequently enable us to conceive film histories that go beyond individual inventors and film auteurs, or the specificities of national cinemas, by making visible the international networks through which film technology was conceived, circulated, used, and constantly adapted to emerging practices. /Tales from the Vaults: Film Technology over the Years and across Continents collects 100 stories of boundless creativity and ingenuity. Submitted by the archives and film preservationists who now care for this long-neglected heritage alongside historians, these tales cover a wide range of pre-cinema, cinema, video, and digital devices developed since the 18th century, and used all around the world by filmmakers, showmen and women, hobbyists, and archivists./ This new bilingual book published by FIAF in partnership with Technès

Passiflora edulis Sims is widely used in traditional medicine in many countries worldwide for the treatment of diverse diseases due to its scientifically demonstrated antitumor, anti-inflammatory and antihypertensive effects; however, no preclinical studies have been done on the diuretic activity of the hydro ethanolic extract from P. edulis leaves in rats. The objective of this work was to study the diuretic activity of the above-mentioned extract in rats. Oral administration of the extract at doses 75, 150 and 300 mg/kg increases diuresis which is equal to 3.3 ± 0.20 ml in the control animals, versus 4.56 ± 0.34, 5.7 ± 0.10 and 7.96 ± 0.37 ml in the animals treated with the extract (p < 0.05). Natriuresis of the animals treated with the extract increases to 0.91 ± 0.02, 1.07 ± 0.07 and 1.24 ± 0.23 mEq/L respectively, versus 0.77 ± 0.06 mEq/L in the control group (p < 0.05), while kaliuresis increases from 0.31 ± 0.01 mEq/L in the control group to 0.36 ± 0.02, 0.55 ± 0.04 and 0.88 ± 0.05 mEq/L in the animals treated with the extract (p < 0.05). Administration of extract does not affect the urine pH which is equal to 8.13 ± 0.51 in the control animals, versus 8.65 ± 0.47, 8.81 ± 0.5 and 8.83 ± 0.48 in the animals treated with the extract (NS). These results indicate the diuretic effect of hydro ethanolic extract of Passiflora edulis leaves.

Published: December 2024

Anemia, a condition marked by reduced red blood cell or hemoglobin levels, affects over 1.92 billion people globally, with a particularly high prevalence in Bangladesh. This condition impedes oxygen delivery, leading to fatigue, weakness, and diminished physical productivity, contributing to economic challenges, especially in developing regions. Iron supplementation remains central to anemia management, yet traditional iron salts, such as ferrous sulfate and ferrous fumarate, often result in gastrointestinal discomfort, limiting patient adherence. Ferric citrate, with its improved bioavailability, enhanced gastrointestinal tolerance, and stability across varying pH levels, represents a promising alternative. Furthermore, ferric citrate offers additional benefits, such as reducing serum phosphate levels and binding uremic toxins, making it advantageous for populations with kidney disease and for pregnant women who require safer iron supplementation.
West Bengal Chemical Industries Ltd. (WBCIL) manufactures a high-purity ferric citrate with stringent quality standards, ensuring minimal contaminants like heavy metals and organic acids, which enhances safety and efficacy. Despite these advantages, ferric citrate is underutilized in Bangladesh, where traditional iron salts dominate the market. Increasing awareness and accessibility of ferric citrate could significantly improve anemia management, particularly for vulnerable populations. This review highlights the potential of ferric citrate in addressing Bangladesh’s anemia burden, emphasizing its clinical benefits, safety profile, and need for broader adoption in public health initiatives.

The paper investigates the emergence of a youth organisation in rural Central Java and its relevance for the channelling of Buddhist revivalist stances in the Temanggung area. Buddhism was introduced in the Muslim-majority regency in the 1950s through the lens of “revival”. However, in recent decades, local institutional and noninstitutional Buddhist actors have framed oftentimes the religious demographics as well as attendance to formal religious worship as being in a long-term state of decadence and abandonment, particularly on the side of young residents. Many Buddhists perceive this to be to the advantage of either other formal religious affiliations (Islam, Christianity) or a more generalised trend of indifference towards communal forms of religious engagement. The article follows the formation of the revivalist group, Pemuda Buddhis (the “Buddhist Youth”) in the Temanggung highlands and the social-cultural ramifications that converge in its origination, practices and agenda. Rather than instantiating a linear “return”, the Buddhist revitalisation efforts promoted by the group materialise, in fact, a novel religious scenario, marked by a sharper influence of Theravāda Buddhism and, on the other hand, a mélange of ethnocultural and Javanese-identitarian stances. More specifically, the paper intends to show how the formation of the youth organisation and the on-the-ground activities implemented reflect wider dynamics of internal mobility as well as new economic/entrepreneurial sensibilities.
Rituals, Lore and Legitimacy in Post-Coup Myanmar
Authors: Thiha Amara
Published: December 2024

This paper examines the strategic use of rituals in Myanmar after the 2021 coup, focusing on their role in political legitimacy. It explores how the military regime and protesters employed rituals in protests and observes divergent practices. The regime relied on symbolic rituals supported by monastic institutions, while protesters used rituals less aligned with normative Buddhist practices. The study highlights differing methods of ritual knowledge dissemination: hierarchical for the regime and network-based for protesters. Despite similar worldviews, their motivations and applications of ritualistic knowledge differ.

MUĞLA -YATAĞAN İLÇESİ KATRANCI KÖY EVLERİNDEN ÖRNEKLER

Published: December 2024

Evler bireyin veya ailelerin bir arada yaşadıkları ortak vakit geçirdikleri mekanlardır. Ayrıca bu yapılar içinde yaşayan insanları sosyolojik, psikolojik, ekonomik, kültürel ve çevresel faktörler bakımından etkilemektedir. Bu yapılar kültürel yaşamı ve geçmişten gelen sürdürülebilir bir yaşam tarzını devam ettirmesi açısından da önemlidir. Geleneksel konutlarda insanların günlük yaşam biçimlerinde o bölgenin iklimi ve coğrafi yapısı etkili olmaktadır. Yapılarda kullanılan malzeme ve teknik, plan ve süsleme gibi faktörler evlerin mimarisi üzerinde etkilerini göstermektedir.
Muğla ve çevresindeki geleneksel konutlar kültürel mirası devam ettirip yaşatan bölgeler arasında önemli bir bölgedir. Geleneksel konutlar malzeme ve teknik, plan düzeni ve süslemeleriyle daha çok dağ köylerinde bulunması sebebiyle bozulmadan günümüze kadar ulaşması bakımından önemlidir. Muğla’nın Yatağan ilçesinin dağ köyleri olan bu yerler kırsal mimariyi yaşatan ve kültürü devam ettiren alanlardır. Diğer köyler gibi Katrancı köyü evlerinde kullanılan taş ve ahşap malzeme süslemeleriyle orijinal olup özgünlüğünü devam ettirmiştir. Belirli bir plan düzeninde inşa edilen evler sade olup coğrafi yapısı sebebiyle küçük ölçekli yapılardır. Genellikle bu evler iki katlı, dış sofalı, tek veya iki oda şeklinde tasarlanmıştır.
İklimin de etkisi ile genellikle dış sofalı plan düzenindeki evlerin odaları sofanın gerisine veya köşelerine konumlandırılmıştır. Sofanın hemen önünde ise avluya yönelen halk arasında kibet denilen oturma bölümleri yer almaktadır. Üst katlar daha çok yaşam alanı olarak kullanılırken, alt katlar ahır ve samanlık şeklinde düzenlenmiştir.
Arazi çalışmalarında Katrancı köyünde geleneksel dokusu bozulmamış yaklaşık kırk ev tespit edilmiştir. Bu evlerden sadece beş örnek bu makalede ele alınmıştır. Malzeme ve teknik, plan ve süsleme bakımından kataloglar şeklinde incelenen evler değerlendirme bölümünde kendi içinde ve bölgedeki diğer evlerle karşılaştırılması yapılmıştır. İç donatı elamanları daha çok ahşaptan yapılmış olup özgünlüğünü korumaktadır. Oda kapıları, seki altı ve seki üstü bölümleri, bömbelik, yüklük, raf ve pencere kepenklerin üzeri yöreye özgü motiflerle bezenmiştir. Ustaların yerli olmasından dolayı bu motifler bölge evlerinin özgünlüğünü ortaya koymaktadır.

Eine psychosozial besonders belastete und gesellschaftlich sehr belastende Untergruppe delinquenter und devianter Klient:innen kann weder durch bestehende pädagogische noch durch psychotherapeutische Angebote hinreichend erreicht werden. Um dieser Zielgruppe entwicklungsförderlich zu begegnen, wurde die delinquenzpädagogische Denkzeit-Methode mit der Psychoanalytisch-interaktionellen Methode (PiM) der Psychotherapie von Menschen mit strukturellen Störungen verbunden. Auf der Basis eigens entwickelter pädagogischer Diagnostik und mit einer auf Gleichrangigkeit, Respekt und dichten Kontakt ausgerichteten Haltung und ›antwortender‹ Beziehungsgestaltung entstehen entwicklungsförderliche Begegnungen in Beratungssettings und im Realraum-Kontakt.

PT Indonesia Comnets Plus (ICON+) Regional West Java SBU requires improved efficiency in managing operational vehicle rentals, which was previously done manually. This study aims to design and implement a web-based vehicle rental system using the Laravel framework to simplify the rental process and data management. The system is designed based on 107 functional requirements and 15 non-functional requirements, developed using the agile scrum approach, which includes five stages: 1) sprint planning, 2) system development, 3) testing, 4) sprint review, and 5) deployment. The testing was conducted using Blackbox Testing and User Acceptance Testing (UAT). The results of the study show that the implemented system successfully enhances operational efficiency, minimizes the risk of errors, and facilitates monitoring vehicle usage through an integrated dashboard. The UAT results indicate that the system falls under the "Strongly Agree" category, with functionality at 86.8%, reliability at 88.5%, usability at 90%, and efficiency at 93.6%, with an overall rating of 89.41%. These results suggest that the system meets the expected quality characteristics and effectively supports operational processes.

Published: December 2024

This research aims to explore the application of stop motion technique in teaching subnetting with Variable Length Subnet Mask (VLSM) through multimedia-based learning. Subnetting, particularly with VLSM, is often perceived as a complex and challenging topic for students in the field of computer networking. Thus, this study focuses on the development and evaluation of instructional materials that use stop motion technique to visually and interactively explain subnetting concepts. The methodology involves designing and creating stop motion videos that illustrate the steps of subnetting with VLSM. These videos are then integrated into a multimedia learning module accessible to students. The effectiveness of using stop motion videos in enhancing students' understanding and skills in subnetting is evaluated through case studies and surveys. The results indicate that the use of stop motion technique significantly facilitates clearer and more engaging comprehension of subnetting with VLSM. Students exposed to multimedia learning materials with stop motion technique demonstrate a notable improvement in their understanding and application of subnetting compared to traditional methods. The study concludes that stop motion is an effective tool in teaching networking techniques, positively impacting student engagement and learning outcomes.
