Published: August 2023

Poverty is a problem faced in all regions in Indonesia as well as in the Trenggalek district. To overcome this poverty problem, the Trenggalek district government has one breakthrough, namely by changing the paradigm from just a program to a poverty alleviation movement abbreviated as GERTAK. Because overcoming poverty cannot only be done by providing aid programs but the most important thing is to change the thinking of these poor people themselves so that they are willing and able to change. To research poverty reduction evaluation in the Trenggalek district, a qualitative descriptive approach was used. Data sources are obtained by direct observation of the field and interviews with predetermined sources. The validity of the data is obtained through the triangulation method. The results obtained that poverty reduction through the GERTAK program can be felt and accepted by the community. Although in its implementation there are still obstacles such as changing regulations and still low awareness of the poor themselves.
Reimagining Climate Change Education As a Panacea to Climate Emergencies
Authors: DAMOAH Benjamin
Published: August 2023

Climate change education refers to the process of educating people about the causes, effects, and solutions to climate change. It is a critical component of efforts to address the global climate crisis, as it helps individuals understand the need for action and empowers them to make informed decisions in their personal and professional lives. The paper argued that drastic measures are required to reduce climate change threats, which is a visible adversary that demands the same emergency reaction as the COVID-19 pandemic. Education is considered a response to rising worldwide environmental concerns in the twenty-first century. The world's environmental issues necessitate immediate attention to climate change education. This paper is based on the Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory lensed with a transformative paradigm. It explores the present inherent global risk to human health and environmental well-being, as well as its implications for future natural disasters. As a result, this paper contends that an innovative approach to addressing the climate change threat through education is necessary. The paper proposed, among other things, a speedy response to climate change challenges through coordinated worldwide support for climate change education for sustainable development and the inclusion of climate change education in all sectors, integrating climate change education across all disciplines, focusing on social justice and equity, engaging with diverse perspectives, and encouraging action and advocacy.
The Implementation of Mandatory Audit Firm Rotation as tool to enhance Audit Reform in South Africa: A Case of KwaZulu-Natal
Authors: MUNKAILA Aminu , NOMLALA Bomi Cyril , BALDAVOO Kiran , MVUNABANDI Jean Damascene
Published: August 2023

Using a quantitative research method, this article examined the perceptions of audit experts concerning the influence of mandatory audit firm rotation on audit reform (AR) in the province of KwaZulu-Natal. Data was gathered from 102 audit experts knowledgeable in the field of accounting and auditing from Tier 2 audit firms and two public institutions and used for data analysis.  The empirical results of this study were two-fold. Firstly, the descriptive statistics provided a general overview of the respondents’ opinions. The majority of respondents agreed that MAFR implementation would strengthen audit reform, thereby validating the initial position of the Independent Regulatory Board of Auditors. In addition, most participants agreed that the ramification of the imposition of additional costs could not be ignored. Moreover, the utilization of SPSS on ordinal logistic regression also found that the probability of a decrease in the progress of audit reforms is significantly higher when mandatory audit firm rotation is in place, and a non-significant positive predictor of mandatory audit firm rotation would increase audit independence. This article contributes to existing knowledge and the continuous discourse on mandatory audit firm rotation rule in South Africa. Conclusively, the study, therefore, recommends that since the research was limited to Kwazulu-Natal, future studies should broadly include registered auditors and academics from institutions and firms in different South African provinces to obtain diverse views about pre-and post-implementation of the rule in 2023 to compare the effects of the policy on audit independence.
Impact of Covid-19 on Zimbabwean Immigrants and Refugees
Authors: NOMLALA Bomi Cyril , CHIHNAMO Edmore
Published: August 2023

COVID-19's outbreak in China at the end of 2019 and its expansion to South Africa have had a detrimental socioeconomic impact on Zimbabwean migrants and refugees in South Africa and immigrants and refugees are the hardest hit during the pandemic. The South African government's lockdown measures resulted in the shutdown of non-essential industries such as travel and tourism, construction, and e-hailing services, where most Zimbabwean migrants and refugees work as frontline workers. Some individuals are employed by shady businesses that can't afford to pay them during downtime. Others ran unregistered enterprises that were denied access to business relief packages due to technicalities. Furthermore, only a small percentage of the estimated 2 million Zimbabwean immigrants and refugees are documented to meet the access requirements for the aid packages. The government's ostensibly all-encompassing COVID-19 relief package requirements were as disparate as they were on paper. Negative nationalism, which sparked xenophobic attacks in 2008, 2015, and 2019, appears to underpin the government's foreign policy framework and attitude. According to the findings, the lockdown resulted in the loss of work, abject poverty, and broken marriages among Zimbabwean immigrants. To live, many turned to prostitution, drug dealing, and rampant opportunism.

Populismo y radicalismo político durante el gobierno de la Unidad Popular
Authors: Cousiño Carlos
Published: August 2023

Carlos Cousiño reflexiona en este artículo sobre el derrotero seguido por el gobierno de Salvador Allende, a la luz de la profunda escisión entre su real legitimidad populista y la comprensión revolucionaria que tenían de esa legitimidad las elites de la dirigencia política. En particular, subraya el papel desempeñado por la joven intelectualidad de izquierda, que empuja hacia posiciones revolucionarias cada vez más radicales. Ya a mediados de 1972, el populismo cede a la revolución. Este camino, que respalda la afirmación de los jóvenes miristas de que había guerra y de que ella habría de culminar con la victoria de alguno de los campos enfrentados, a juicio del autor sella el destino del país, obligándolo a mirar su rostro más severo.

El golpe que no fue. Eduardo Frei, la Democracia Cristiana y la elección presidencial de 1970
Authors: Hurtado-Torres Sebastián
Published: August 2023

Este artículo relata los intentos no consumados de Eduardo Frei Montalva, de algunos de sus ministros y otros miembros de la Democracia Cristiana para evitar que Salvador Allende fuese electo presidente de la república por el Congreso Pleno en octubre de 1970. Estas intenciones fueron discutidas con el embajador estadounidense Edward Korry, pero la participación norteamericana en los planes expuestos en este artículo fue marginal, lo cual da cuenta tanto de la importancia fundamental de los actores locales en una situación relevante de la política mundial de la Guerra Fría como de los límites del poder norteamericano. Los documentos diplomáticos estadounidenses de la época constituyen la fuente principal de este artículo. La información provista por estos documentos no ha sido explorada, analizada y expuesta sistemáticamente por otros trabajos académicos basados en estas fuentes. Este artículo busca llenar un vacío existente en la abundante literatura sobre la elección presidencial chilena de 1970, que se ha basado en los documentos diplomáticos norteamericanos desclasificados a partir de 1999.

 

El autor agradece los comentarios y sugerencias de Joaquín Fermandois, Diego Hurtado y Susan Yévenes para la redacción final de este artículo.

Reacceleration of Galactic Cosmic Rays beyond the Knee at the Termination Shock of a Cosmic-Ray-driven Galactic Wind
Authors: Mukhopadhyay Payel , Peretti Enrico , Globus Noémie , Simeon Paul , Blandford Roger
Published: August 2023

The origin of cosmic rays (CRs) above the knee in the spectrum is an unsolved problem. We present a wind model in which interstellar gas flows along a nonrotating, expanding flux tube with a changing speed and cross-sectional area. CRs from Galactic sources, such as supernova remnants, which are coupled to the plasma via Alfvén waves, provide the main pressure source for driving this outflow. These CRs are then subject to diffusive shock reacceleration at the Galactic wind termination shock, which is located at a distance ∼200 kpc. Some of the highest-energy reaccelerated particles propagate upstream against the wind and can contribute to the petaelectronvolt to exaelectronvolt range of the spectrum. We analyze the conditions under which efficient reacceleration can occur and find that rigidities ∼10–40 PV can be obtained and that the termination shock may account for between 10% and 50% of the proton spectrum measured in IceCube/IceTop experiment. In our model, the termination shock is unable to fully explain the CR spectrum in the petaelectronvolt to exaelectronvolt range. The highest-energy particles that escape downstream from our termination shock, and similar shocks surrounding most galaxies, can be further accelerated by intergalactic shock fronts.
Discrepant Approaches to Modeling Stellar Tides and the Blurring of Pseudosynchronization
Authors: Townsend R. H. D. , Sun 孙 M. 萌
Published: August 2023

We examine the reasons for discrepancies between two alternative approaches to modeling small-amplitude tides in binary systems. The direct solution (DS) approach solves the governing differential equations and boundary conditions directly, while the modal decomposition (MD) approach relies on a normal-mode expansion. Applied to a model for the primary star in the heartbeat system KOI-54, the two approaches predict quite different behavior of the secular tidal torque. The MD approach exhibits the pseudosynchronization phenomenon, where the torque due to the equilibrium tide changes sign at a single, well-defined, and theoretically predicted stellar rotation rate. The DS approach instead shows “blurred” pseudosynchronization, where positive and negative torques intermingle over a range of rotation rates. We trace a major source of these differences to an incorrect damping coefficient in the profile functions describing the frequency dependence of the MD expansion coefficients. With this error corrected, some differences between the approaches remain; however, both are in agreement that pseudosynchronization is blurred in the KOI-54 system. Our findings generalize to any type of star for which the tidal damping depends explicitly or implicitly on the forcing frequency.
HOW-MHD: A High-order WENO-based Magnetohydrodynamic Code with a High-order Constrained Transport Algorithm for Astrophysical Applications
Authors: Seo Jeongbhin , Ryu Dongsu
Published: August 2023

Due to the prevalence of magnetic fields in astrophysical environments, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation has become a basic tool for studying astrophysical fluid dynamics. To further advance the precision of MHD simulations, we have developed a new simulation code that solves ideal adiabatic or isothermal MHD equations with high-order accuracy. The code is based on the finite-difference weighted essentially nonoscillatory (WENO) scheme and the strong stability-preserving Runge–Kutta (SSPRK) method. Most of all, the code implements a newly developed, high-order constrained transport (CT) algorithm for the divergence-free constraint of magnetic fields, completing its high-order competence. In this paper, we present the version in Cartesian coordinates, which includes a fifth-order WENO and a fourth-order five-stage SSPRK, along with extensive tests. With the new CT algorithm, fifth-order accuracy is achieved in convergence tests involving the damping of MHD waves in 3D space. And substantially improved results are obtained in magnetic loop advection and magnetic reconnection tests, indicating a reduction in numerical diffusivity. In addition, the reliability and robustness of the code, along with its high accuracy, are demonstrated through several tests involving shocks and complex flows. Furthermore, tests of turbulent flows reveal the advantages of high-order accuracy and show that the adiabatic and isothermal codes have similar accuracy. With its high-order accuracy, our new code would provide a valuable tool for studying a wide range of astrophysical phenomena that involve MHD processes.

Published: August 2023

A new outburst of GX 339−4 in 2021 was monitored by the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (Insight-HXMT). By using the data of Insight-HXMT from 2021 February to March, we make an X-ray timing analysis of this new outburst. Based on the results of the count rates, hardness–intensity diagram, and power density spectrum (PDS), we confirm that the source exhibits spectral transitions from the low-hard state (LHS) to the hard-intermediate state (HIMS). During the transition from the LHS to the HIMS, low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) are detected in the PDS. We found that these QPOs are all type C QPOs with centroid frequencies evolving from 0.1 to 0.6 Hz in the LHS and in the 1–3 Hz frequency range in HIMS. The QPO features above 50 keV are reported for the first time in this black hole by Insight-HXMT. The QPO rms stays stable with time but decreases with energy at a higher energy above ∼10 keV. We also find that the phase lag of the type C QPO is close to zero in the early outburst stage but becomes positive as the outburst evolves, with a hard lag of ∼0.6–1.2 rad in 50–100 keV. The implications of the phase lag in high energy bands and the possible physical mechanisms to explain those observations are also discussed.

The optical-ultraviolet transient AT 2021loi is located at the center of its host galaxy. Its spectral features identify it as a member of the Bowen fluorescence flare (BFF) class. The first member of this class was considered to be related to a tidal disruption event, but enhanced accretion onto an already active supermassive black hole was suggested as an alternative explanation. Having occurred in a previously known unobscured active galactic nucleus, AT 2021loi strengthens the latter interpretation. Its light curve is similar to those of previous BFFs, showing a rebrightening approximately 1 yr after the main peak (which was not explicitly identified but might be the case in all previous BFFs). An emission feature around 4680 Å, seen in the preflare spectrum, strengthens by a factor of ∼2 around the optical peak of the flare and is clearly seen as a double-peaked feature then, suggesting a blend of N iii
λ4640 with He ii
λ4686 as its origin. The appearance of O iii
λ3133 and possible N iii
λλ4097, 4103 (blended with Hδ) during the flare further support a Bowen fluorescence classification. Here we present ZTF, ATLAS, Keck, Las Cumbres Observatory, NEOWISE-R, Swift AMI, and Very Large Array observations of AT 2021loi, making it one of the best-observed BFFs to date. It thus provides some clarity on the nature of BFFs but also further demonstrates the diversity of nuclear transients.
Advanced Γ Method for Small-scale Vortex Detection in the Solar Atmosphere

Published: August 2023

Ubiquitous vortical structures are considered to act as a natural source of various solar plasma phenomena, for example, a wide range of magnetohydrodynamic waves and jet excitations. This work aims to develop an advanced vortex detection algorithm based on the Γ method and using a separable convolution kernel technique. This method is applied to detect and analyze the photospheric vortices in 3D realistic magnetoconvection numerical and observational data. We present the advanced Γ method (AGM), and our results indicate that the AGM performs with better accuracy in comparison with the original Γ method. The AGM allows us to identify small- and large-scale vortices with no vortex interposition and without requiring the changing of the threshold. In this way, the nondetection issue is mostly prevented. It was found that the Γ method failed to identify the large and longer-lived vortices, which were detected by the AGM. The size of the detected vortical structures tends to vary over time, with most vortices shrinking toward their end. The vorticity at the center is also not constant, presenting a sharp decay as the vortex ceases to exist. Due to its capability of identifying vortices with minimum nondetection, the vortex properties—such as lifetime, geometry, and dynamics—are better captured by the AGM than by the Γ method. In this era of new high-resolution observation, the AGM can be used as a precise technique for identifying and performing statistical analysis of solar atmospheric vortices.

We analyze pre-explosion near- and mid-infrared (IR) imaging of the site of SN 2023ixf in the nearby spiral galaxy M101 and characterize the candidate progenitor star. The star displays compelling evidence of variability with a possible period of ≈1000 days and an amplitude of Δm ≈ 0.6 mag in extensive monitoring with the Spitzer Space Telescope since 2004, likely indicative of radial pulsations. Variability consistent with this period is also seen in the near-IR J and K

bands between 2010 and 2023, up to just 10 days before the explosion. Beyond the periodic variability, we do not find evidence for any IR-bright pre-supernova outbursts in this time period. The IR brightness (

Photospheric Velocity Evolution of SN 2020bvc: Signature of r-process Nucleosynthesis from a Collapsar
Authors: Li Long , Zhong Shu-Qing , Dai Zi-Gao
Published: August 2023

Whether binary neutron star mergers are the only astrophysical site of rapid neutron-capture process (r-process) nucleosynthesis remains unknown. Collapsars associated with long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and hypernovae are promising candidates. Simulations have shown that outflows from collapsar accretion disks can produce enough r-process materials to explain the abundances in the universe. However, there is no observational evidence to confirm this result at present. SN 2020bvc is a broad-lined Type Ic (Ic-BL) supernova (SN) possibly associated with a low-luminosity GRB. Based on semi-analytic SN emission models with and without r-process materials, we perform a fitting to the multiband light curves and photospheric velocities of SN 2020bvc. We find that in a r-process-enriched model the mixing of r-process materials slows down the photospheric recession and therefore matches the velocity evolution better. The fitting results show that r-process materials with mass of ≈0.36 M
⊙ and opacity of ≈4 cm2 g−1 is needed to mix with about half of the SN ejecta. Our fitting results are weakly dependent on the nebular emission. Future statistical analysis of a sample of Type Ic-BL SNe helps us understand the contribution of collapsars to the r-process abundance.

Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND: Anatomy is an important part of medicine. Anatomical terminology also become the basis for studying anatomy in particular and medicine in general. The need for standardization becomes something important in ensuring effective communication.
AIM: This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of publications related to anatomical terminology to understand its development.
METHODS: This study uses bibliometric method. The data used in this study were obtained from the Scopus database with publication related to anatomical terminology. The data obtained was then processed using VOSviewer software to create a bibliometric map for later analysis.
RESULTS: There were 1821 publications published from 1914 to 2021 related to anatomical terminology. There was an increase in publications from year to year with the highest number of publications in 2020 with 101 publications. Based on the bibliometric map, the keywords “anatomical terminology” and “latin anatomical terms” were the most widely published in recent years.
CONCLUSION: This study shows that anatomical terminology is still being developed to ensure more effective communication between professionals.
The earliest evidence of Omophroninae (Coleoptera: Carabidae) from mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber and the description of a larva of a new genus
Authors: Rosová Kateřina , Prokop Jakub , Hammel Jörg U. , Beutel Rolf G.
Published: August 2023

Omophroninae is a distinctive monogeneric group of Carabidae, presumably placed relatively close to the root of the megadiverse adephagan family. In the present study we describe a larva belonging to Omophroninae from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber and erect a new genus †Cretomophron. Several features support the placement in this small but distinctive subfamily, such as the wedge-shaped head, the large triangular nasale, the elevated antennae with the apical segment directed sideways, the large and bidentate mandibular retinaculum, the enlarged hexagonal prothorax, legs with a distinct armature of spines, and the relatively narrow and posteriorly tapering abdomen. In contrast to larvae of the extant genusOmophronLatreille, the posterior tentorial grooves are not shifted backwards, apparently a plesiomorphic feature, the 2ndantennomeres are markedly longer, and the legs bear long setae and rather thin and long spike-like setae. †Cretomophronalso differs in the presence of numerous setae arranged in transverse rows on abdominal segment VI. Lateral lobe-like expansions of abdominal tergites are a conspicuous feature of the new genus but similar structures occur in later instars ofOmophron. Structural specializations of the head, prothorax and legs strongly suggest that the larvae were burrowing in sand, like adults and larvae of the extant genus, and that they were efficient predators, detecting prey with the unusually shaped antennae and long maxillae, grasping it with the elongate apical mandibular tooth, and squeezing and piercing it between the bidentate retinaculum and large and triangular nasale.

Objective

To develop a list of tests or treatments frequently used in pediatric rheumatology practice that may be unnecessary based on existing evidence.

Methods

A Choosing Wisely (CW) working group composed of 16 pediatric rheumatologists, 1 allied health professional, 1 parent, and 1 patient used the Delphi method to generate, rank, and refine a list of tests and treatments that may be unnecessary or harmful. The items with the highest content agreement and perceived impact were presented in a survey to all Canadian Rheumatology Association (CRA) physicians who practice pediatric rheumatology. Respondents were asked to rate their agreement and impact, and to rank the items. Five items with the highest composite scores and 2 additional items selected by the CW working group were put forward for literature review.

Results

The initial Delphi procedure generated 80 items. After 3 rounds, the list was narrowed to 13 items. The survey was completed by 41/81 (51%) CRA pediatric members across Canada. Respondent characteristics were similar to those of the CRA pediatric membership for self-reported gender, geographical location, and career stage. The highest composite score items were antinuclear antibody testing, drug toxicity monitoring, HLA-B27 testing, rheumatoid factor/anticyclic citrullinated peptide testing, and Lyme serology testing. Two additional items (numerous or repeated intraarticular corticosteroid injections, and autoinflammatory diseases genetic testing) were also selected. Literature review was performed for these 7 highest priority items.

Conclusion

We have identified areas for quality improvement in the evaluation and treatment of rheumatic diseases in Canadian children.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Sex and Gender and Intersectionality With Race and Ethnicity in Psoriatic Disease

Published: August 2023

Sex (biological attributes associated with being male or female) and gender (sociocultural-driven traits and behaviors related to being a man or a woman) are emerging as important determinants of disease course and response to therapy in patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Although psoriatic disease (PsD) is equally prevalent in men and women, the condition affects them in different and unique ways, giving rise to sex- and gender-related differences in clinical presentation, including baseline disease activity, disease course, and response to treatment. Better understanding of the roles sex and gender play in the development and evolution of PsD has the potential to improve patient care. The Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) continues its effort to highlight issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion in people with PsD by dedicating a session during the annual meeting to sex and gender and their intersectionality with race and ethnicity in individuals with PsA.

Spatially localized sparse approximations of deep features for breast mass characterization
Authors: Harris Chelsea , Okorie Uchenna , Makrogiannis Sokratis
Published: August 2023

We propose a deep feature-based sparse approximation classification technique for classification of breast masses into benign and malignant categories in film screen mammographs. This is a significant application as breast cancer is a leading cause of death in the modern world and improvements in diagnosis may help to decrease rates of mortality for large populations. While deep learning techniques have produced remarkable results in the field of computer-aided diagnosis of breast cancer, there are several aspects of this field that remain under-studied. In this work, we investigate the applicability of deep-feature-generated dictionaries to sparse approximation-based classification. To this end we construct dictionaries from deep features and compute sparse approximations of Regions Of Interest (ROIs) of breast masses for classification. Furthermore, we propose block and patch decomposition methods to construct overcomplete dictionaries suitable for sparse coding. The effectiveness of our deep feature spatially localized ensemble sparse analysis (DF-SLESA) technique is evaluated on a merged dataset of mass ROIs from the CBIS-DDSM and MIAS datasets. Experimental results indicate that dictionaries of deep features yield more discriminative sparse approximations of mass characteristics than dictionaries of imaging patterns and dictionaries learned by unsupervised machine learning techniques such as K-SVD. Of note is that the proposed block and patch decomposition strategies may help to simplify the sparse coding problem and to find tractable solutions. The proposed technique achieves competitive performances with state-of-the-art techniques for benign/malignant breast mass classification, using 10-fold cross-validation in merged datasets of film screen mammograms.

This study aims to promote students’ critical thinking skills and academic achievement using Interface Instrumentation Experiments-supported Blended Learning (IIE-BL). In this quasi-experimental study, 40 undergraduate students who took the Basic Physics II course from the Department of Physics Education at two private universities in Indonesia were assigned randomly as experimental and control groups. Experimental group students were taught using blended learning based on interface instrumentation technology, while the control group students were taught using conventional learning by the same lecturer. To collect data, the Critical Thinking Test (CTT) and Physics Achievement Test (PAT) were administered, which data were then analyzed in independent and paired t-tests, as well as the d-effect sizes test on SPSS 26 at a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that students in the experimental group obtained significantly higher critical thinking skills and achievement scores than students in the control group. It can be concluded that IIE-BL is effective in improving students’ critical thinking skills and achievement in the Basic Physics II course. Educators are suggested to apply IIE-BL to promote student performance and catalyze their learning.

BCI is a rapidly growing field within biomedical engineering as it enables a direct connection between the central nervous system and an external device. BCI detects brain signals using biosensors (electrodes) installed on the head’s scalp or implanted inside the brain. EEG is a non-invasive method for detecting and monitoring the brain’s activity. Using EEG-based BCI in the medical field can significantly help disabled people to perform daily activities. In this context, it is very important to support and enable paralysed people to interact with multimedia devices like televisions by developing suitable solutions. This paper proposes an EEG mind-controlled TV remote control system prototype. The proposed prototype uses affordable hardware components to perform its task. A quantitative questionnaire has been conducted to identify the system’s functional and non-functional requirements. The system can send four different signals to power on/off, change the channel, raise and reduce the volume of the TV. The system has been tested by 20 subjects. The testing results show that the accuracy of the system is 74.9%. Despite the system being able to control only four TV functions, the system is scalable, and more commands can be added in the future. Also, using Raspberry Pi in the system gives a great possibility to eliminate the computer and to use Raspberry Pi directly with the headset. This paper demonstrates the approach’s feasibility and opens the route for enhancing the system and using EEG-based BCI with more and different devices.
Inseguridad y movilidad cotidiana en contextos urbanos: tácticas socioespaciales en el Oriente de la Zona Metropolitana del Valle de México
Authors: Granados Luis Adolfo Ortega
Published: August 2023

Moverse a través de contextos urbanos e inseguros implica desplegar tácticas para evitar situaciones que obstaculizan el desplazamiento cotidiano. En los años recientes, la inseguridad se ha convertido en el contexto por el cual sus habitantes transitan y el espacio se convierte en un elemento fundamental para la movilidad cotidiana. En este marco, el propósito de este trabajo es cuestionarse sobre cómo es la movilidad en contextos de inseguridad urbana y sobre qué tipo de espacios se construyen durante la movilidad. A partir de aproximaciones etnográficas en colonias populares de Ecatepec, presento algunas articulaciones entre espacios fijos y móviles realizadas por sus habitantes para implementar trayectos seguros. Entre los principales hallazgos destaca la importancia de identificar los espacios fijos y móviles como elementos entrelazados que contribuyen en la construcción de paisajes urbanos de inseguridad.

Published: August 2023

O trabalho reflete sobre algumas transformações urbanas na cidade de Dourados, no estado de Mato Grosso do Sul. Iniciada há mais ou menos uma década, tem sido considerável a expansão de condomínios fechados de alto padrão. O fenômeno não é exclusividade da cidade, mas tem algumas particularidades. Neste artigo, focamos no mais recente e luxuoso dentre eles, bem como nos aspectos moderno e cosmopolita que recobrem o empreendimento. Os dados foram produzidos a partir de um trabalho de campo junto às redes sociais do condomínio, por meio dos mecanismos publicitários a ele associados. Nosso objetivo é analisar as relações entre as novas formas de ocupação urbana de Dourados e as raízes colonizadoras e fundiárias que forjaram o mito do colono da terra no imaginário douradense.
Sobre as formas de sentir o vento ou ficções criativas: notas sobre relações entre vigilantes, casarões e seres intangíveis em São Luís
Authors: Gonçalves Gabriela Lages
Published: August 2023

Este ensaio etnográfico tem como ponto de partida minha pesquisa de doutoramento situada no Centro Histórico de São Luís (Maranhão) - cidade intitulada Patrimônio Mundial da Humanidade pela Organização das Nações Unidas para Educação, Ciências e Cultura (UNESCO). Desde 2017 tenho me dedicado a pensar relações sociais entre os casarões históricos e agências espirituais diversamente nomeadas pelas pessoas (espíritos, fantasmas, assombrações, visagens). Com base em pesquisa etnográfica junto aos profissionais da vigilância, pude ter acesso a experiências cotidianas que se manifestam de diferentes formas – vozes, aparições, cheiros, temperaturas, entre outras formas de afetação. Neste ensaio, reflito sobre uma sutil forma de manifestação das visagens, os ventos que costumeiramente agem sobre espaços, objetos e pessoas em que aponto dois caminhos analíticos – o primeiro refere-se a um reconhecimento tátil/corpóreo de ventos que são manifestações de visagens; o segundo inspira a criação de um “repertório sensorial” a partir do encontro entre pessoas e visagens. Como um exercício etnográfico de desnaturalização dos ventos, proponho uma aproximação entre as ideias de habitar ou criatividade para pensar em processos narrativos e explicativos sobre as experiências vividas por meus interlocutores nos casarões de São Luís.
Exercer o direito à cidade: o Canto do MARL como possibilidade de um fazer artístico popular em Londrina, Paraná

Published: August 2023

A partir do pressuposto legal de que o Estado tem como responsabilidade, através da formulação e execução de políticas públicas, a garantia da universalização do acesso aos serviços e bens culturais, este artigo procura analisar como a gestão da cidade de Londrina torna tal realidade possível para os seus habitantes, pensando naqueles que se distanciam dos grandes centros e em suas dificuldades de acesso à livre manifestação artística, já que estão dispostos às margens. Neste caminho, através de um olhar etnográfico e da análise dessas políticas, levantou-se o estudo de um acontecimento: a “okupação” realizada pelo Movimento dos Artistas de Rua de Londrina, evidenciando-a como um fenômeno exemplar na luta pelos usos da cidade a partir de práticas que auxiliam o asseguramento do direito à cultura. Sendo ela, em Londrina, amparada por um programa de incentivo singular (PROMIC), que representa, assim, a presença do poder público na efetivação do fazer-cidade.
Práticas culturais juvenis e a cidade como locus de ação política e disputa de sentidos sobre o espaço público

Neste artigo investigamos como a cidade pode ser um lócus de ações e disputas por parte de certos grupos juvenis. Partimos da hipótese de que os jovens têm fortemente construído, pelo menos nas últimas duas décadas, estratégias de comunicação política através dos espaços das cidades, manifestando-se através da ocupação do espaço público, da produção artística e da adesão a determinados estilos de vida. Em Aracaju, capital do estado de Sergipe, no Brasil, alguns grupos que atuam dessa forma são vinculados ao punk e ao hip hop, ao slam poetry e à prática do skateboarding, entre outras. Os métodos utilizados nas pesquisas que originaram este artigo foram a observação direta, a realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas com jovens praticantes de tais expressões e envolvidos em coletivos juvenis, seguida pela análise interpretativa coligida com a bibliografia já existente sobre o tema. Concluímos que alguns espaços têm se tornado lugares de construção de estratégias e táticas (Certeau, 2014) coletivas para a reivindicação do direito ao debate público sobre a cidade, a partir de várias frentes de atuação estético-política.
“Banho de Sangue”: expressões corporais, artísticas e políticas nos espaços urbanos de Teresina
Authors: Couto Eliane Brito da Silva , da Silva Pisani Mariane
Published: August 2023

Entre os anos de 2018 e 2020, logo antes da pandemia de Covid-19 impor medidas de isolamento e distanciamento social em todo o mundo, a performance “Banho de Sangue” foi realizada em diferentes espaços da cidade de Teresina, estado do Piauí. Ela foi idealizada e realizada por Luzia Amélia Marques, uma mulher negra, ativista, bailarina e performer teresinense. A performance teve como intenção, em todas as suas edições, denunciar e problematizar as violências sofridas por parte da população. O objetivo deste artigo é apontar quais foram os espaços da cidade que foram transformados em palco para disputas políticas e sociais. Para alcançar nosso objetivo iremos primeiro a) apresentar cada um dos momentos onde o “Banho de Sangue” foi apresentado, indicando as motivações para a sua realização; segundo, b) discutir, a partir da categoria de interseccionalidades (Collins, 2021) quais são as implicações e os desdobramentos do “Banho de Sangue”. Por fim, mostraremos a importância das cidades serem percebidas enquanto lócus privilegiados para disputas políticas que envolvem as lutas por moradia urbana, bem como lutas antirracistas e feministas.

La réduction du dioxyde de carbone par les arbres est un service écosystémique important pour le bien-être humain. Il est souvent méconnu des bénéficiaires, et rarement pris en compte dans les études. L’objectif de cette étude est de connaitre le potentiel de séquestration du carbone de la végétation de la relique forestière de l’Université Peleforo Gon Coulibaly de Korhogo (Nord de la Côte d’Ivoire). Pour la collecte des données dendrométriques, tous les individus de diamètre à hauteur de poitrine (dbh) ≥ 5 centimètres ont été mesurés dans des placettes carrées de 900 mètres carrés (30 mètres x 30 mètres). La densité moyenne des ligneux s’établit à 788 pieds par hectare. La répartition par classes de diamètre des ligneux a révélé une prédominance des individus de petit diamètre (5-15 centimètres). La quantité de biomasse produite par la réserve forestière est estimée à 219,92 tonnes par hectare, correspondant à un stock de carbone séquestré de 109,96 tonnes par hectare, et un équivalent CO2 de 403,18 tonnes par hectare. De façon individuelle, les espèces locales telles que Adansonia digitata et Ceiba pentandra séquestrent le plus de CO2 dans la réserve. La quantité totale de carbone séquestré a été estimée à 16942,07 tonnes. Ce potentiel de stock de carbone témoigne de l’importance du rôle compensatoire de la réserve forestière dans les émissions du dioxyde de carbone issu des activités anthropiques dans la région du Poro.
