“Mulheres atômicas”
Authors: Lêdo Fabíola Guimarães Monteiro , Caldeira Alexandre David , Adami Antonio
Published: November 2024

Neste artigo aborda-se a participação das mulheres no desenvolvimento das bases da Energia Nuclear. É uma compilação dos aspectos relacionados à história de vida dessas mulheres com alguns aspectos da história da ciência, uma trajetória para a compreensão dos princípios básicos da ciência nuclear. Tratamos da historicização do campo com base teórica em Jonathan Tennenbaum, em relação ao histórico de consolidação da tecnologia nuclear. Trata-se de uma perspectiva da história nuclear. Tratamos da descoberta do Polônio por Marie Curie, de elementos científicos associados a componentes radiológicos, também discutimos um tempo brutal que levou ao desenvolvimento de armas destrutivas, protagonizadas em guerras que marcaram profundamente a história, inclusive nos dias atuais; também tratamos da revolução do átomo, momento em que ocorreu o maior avanço feminino nas ciências naturais, ou seja, a história das “mulheres atômicas” Marie Curie, Ida Noddack, Lise Meitner, Irène Curie, e o entendimento dos Números Mágicos do Prêmio Nobel, ao mesmo tempo em que destacava-se o preconceito, onde o homem cultuava a superioridade do gênero masculino e não as capacidades tecno-científicas desenvolvidas para a sobrevivência humana e, por incrível que pareça, foram também empregadas para aniquilamento da mesma. Neste contexto ocorreram também importantes manifestações obtidas no campo das radiações que contribuíram de forma direta e indireta para a constituição de diversos conceitos de princípios atômicos que afligia o mundo, até chegar à característica básica da paixão dessas cientistas pelo desconhecido, pré-requisito da dedicação das pioneiras nucleares que cresceram, com todas as dificuldades que tiveram de vencer.

Published: November 2024

This article addresses a literature review on the application of artificial neural networks (ANN) in reservoir sedimentation focusing on their main concepts towards underscoring the importance of data integration and technological application in water resource management. Despite its significance, the topic is still relatively scarce in academic literature. Bibliometric analysis was a fundamental step in this research, since data from Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases were examined, focusing on the period from 2008 to August 2024 and employing specific keywords for the analysis. The choice between Scopus and WoS depends on the researcher's needs. The former would be more suitable for a broad literature coverage, whereas WoS would be ideal for impact analyses and citations in high-quality journals. Scopus is better for broad literature coverage, while WoS excels in impact analysis and high-quality citations, making them complementary resources. The review highlighted practical applications of bibliometric concepts, facilitating the visualization of collaborations among countries, journals, and authors. Zotero software was employed for its free, open-source nature, which simplifies access and integrates well with Microsoft Word and Google Docs for managing citations and bibliographies. Countries such as Iran, China, and India dominated almost 50% of the publications analyzed, reflecting the geological, topographical, and climatic diversity of those regions. Investigations on reservoir sedimentation with the use of ANNs have been gaining relevance in the scientific scenario, becoming crucial in the national context, considering the scarcity of in-depth studies on the topic, and representing a significant challenge for the management and conservation of our water resources.
Risk Changes and Prevention in the Innovative Development of Supply Chain Finance
Authors: Dong Dong
Published: November 2024

With the increasing segmentation of social production, the nature of market competition has evolved, shifting from competition among individual customers within a supply chain to competition between entire supply chains. In recent years, supply chain finance has been widely applied in various sectors, effectively addressing the financing difficulties faced by small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the supply chain. In this environment, the development of supply chain finance has received significant attention. To encourage its development, government agencies can leverage their macro-guidance capabilities, introduce relevant measures based on the actual situation, and require banking and insurance institutions to rely on core supply chain enterprises. By treating the transactions of core enterprises and their upstream and downstream partners as the foundation, financial institutions can integrate various types of information and provide comprehensive financial services to all participants in the supply chain. However, during the process of innovation and development in supply chain finance, various risks inevitably arise. These risks must be managed and mitigated through different risk management strategies to enable supply chain finance to better serve the real economy and promote its sustainable development.
Research on the Performance of Carbon Fiber Composite Railings for Ships
Authors: He Longfei , Ye Zhenling
Published: November 2024

With the development of the shipbuilding industry, the requirements for the safety and corrosion resistance of ship structural components are becoming increasingly high. Most of the components used in traditional ships are made of steel, which cannot meet the requirements of corrosion resistance and safety for existing ships. In order to improve the structural safety and corrosion resistance of ship railings, as well as their lightweight requirements, this article proposes a lightweight design for ship railing structures based on the advantages of carbon fiber composite materials, such as light weight, high strength, and high modulus, on the basis of the existing traditional metal railing structures for ships. Based on the anisotropy of carbon fiber composite fibers, the characteristics of overlapping/weaving structures, and the influence of the interface between carbon fiber composite materials and metal materials on the strength of ship railing structures, a finite element simulation model of carbon fiber composite materials is established. By setting constraints such as volume fraction, stress, strain, displacement,etc.in the given simulation model, the layout of materials in the optimization results is used to guide the design of the structure, and the size parameters of the ship railing barrel are optimized for structural optimization. Thus achieving lightweight design of ship railings and meeting the requirements for lightweight, safety, service life, and corrosion resistance of ship structural components.

Authors: Guo Yingying , Guintu, Ma. Agatha Anne
Published: November 2024

College graduates are important human resources. Their successful placement is not only related to personal development and value realization but also related to social politics, economy, and the development of culture. “Career planning and employment guidance curriculum system ” in colleges and universities is an important bridge between graduates and the demand and allocation of social talents. Therefore, evaluating the curriculum may prove beneficial to identifying its effectiveness so that improvements may be made. This study aims to conduct a course context evaluation of the “College students' career planning and employment guidance curriculum system” in universities as to its course content, course structure, and course resources so as to provide a basis for optimizing the present curriculum system and try to explore possible reform of this curriculum.
Research on Risk Control and Internal Control in Corporate Accounting
Authors: Wang Fu , Yang Xiaoyu
Published: November 2024

As the market economy rapidly develops, new opportunities arise for modern business growth, yet the complexity of financial risks and internal control issues that enterprises face also increases. To maintain stable development in the fierce industry competition and effectively tackle various challenges, internal managers and related staff need to transform traditional thinking, strengthening risk control and internal controls within accounting. Risk control mainly focuses on risks related to the distortion of accounting information, misappropriation of funds, and tax compliance, whereas internal control focuses on solving problems such as inaccuracies in financial data processing, deficiencies in the internal control system, and lack of internal communication. However, there is a mutual influence between risk control and internal control, indicating that they complement each other. This paper deeply analyzes the existing problems in risk control and internal control in current corporate accounting, proposes improvement measures according to specific conditions, and enhances the levels of risk control and internal control in corporate accounting through methods such as improving personnel professionalism, standardizing accounting standards, and constructing a comprehensive internal control system, thereby providing a strong guarantee for the sustainable development of enterprises.
The Relationship between Tu Nationality and Mongolia from the Characteristics of Folk Songs
Authors: Bao Wenni
Published: November 2024

The long historical connection between the Tu nationality and the Mongol nationality is not only reflected in oral legends and documentary records, but also deeply reflected in their music culture. This paper deeply probes into the inheritance of the music characteristics of Mongolian folk songs, and reveals the deep connection between the two nationalities through the analysis of folk songs. Through the investigation of the use of Mongolian words, rhythm and melody development techniques in Tu folk songs, it clearly shows the absorption and retention of Tu folk song culture to Mongolian music culture.
Tourism Governance Policy and the Extent of Its Implementation in Harbin City, China
Authors: Xu Wenzhe
Published: November 2024

The study examines the perceptions of respondents regarding tourism governance and policy implementation in China, focusing on economic, political, socio-cultural, environmental, and psychological dimensions. The analysis reveals a general agreement on the positive impacts of both tourism governance and policy implementation. However, significant differences in perceptions are noted based on age, particularly in environmental and visa policy assessments. The study also finds no significant correlation between tourism governance and policy implementation, suggesting these areas operate independently in the respondents' views. Recommendations include enhancing communication between governance and policy entities, addressing environmental concerns through targeted strategies, involving diverse stakeholders in policy development, improving visa policies, investing in tourism infrastructure, promoting sustainable tourism practices, leveraging technology and innovation, and implementing regular monitoring and evaluation. These recommendations aim to ensure a more coordinated, inclusive, sustainable, and effective approach to tourism governance and policy implementation in China, fostering long-term growth and positive impacts across all dimensions.

This paper makes a systematic analysis of Schumpeter's basic views on the relationship between economic science and ideology.
Into the Land of Wonder: The Narrative Life of Dying Neural Cells in Dementia Stories
Authors: Coppola Maria Micaela Coppola
Published: November 2024

This paper aims at engaging in dialogue with diverse perspectives on neuropathology by examining the intersections between biopsychiatric and narrative portrayals of dementia. Firstly, we investigate how neurocognitive disorder is depicted in narrative form (in prose and verse), emphasising the significance of “narrative brain scans” as sites of intersubjective exploration of this complex experience. Secondly, we emphasise the unique potential of dementia narratives in prompting contemplation of whether the disruption of consciousness can be questioned through imagination and storytelling. Ultimately, narratives of dementia serve to practice wonder and not knowing (Candiani), and challenge reductionist boundaries between life and death, presence and absence of consciousness. Employing Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) as a narrative framework, this paper embarks on a journey in search of wonder within narratives by Mariangela Gualtieri, Jonathan Franzen, and John Bayley, depicting progressive cognitive decline.
La mia analisi con Blanton. Alle origini della poetry therapy americana
Authors: Caponi Paolo
Published: November 2024

La terapia attraverso la poesia ha un’origine temporale e geografica indefinibile, anche se è negli Stati Uniti che essa ha ricevuto, nel tempo, le maggiori attenzioni. Un ruolo importante, in questo senso, fu svolto dallo psichiatra Smiley Blanton (1882-1966), noto anche per avere pubblicato il diario della sua analisi didattica con Sigmund Freud. Blanton introdusse la poetry therapy nella cura dei suoi pazienti contribuendo, anche sulla scorta di studi precedenti, a depurare la terapia di un’impronta naif e accentuandone gli aspetti scientifici. Oggi la poetry therapy è largamente praticata, ed è auspicabile per il futuro un proficuo dialogo di questa con la biologia e le neuroscienze.
Towards an 'African Medical Humanities': Examining Mental Health in Nigerian Contemporary Literature through an African-Centred Approach
Authors: Badmus Aminat Emma
Published: November 2024

The significance of adopting an African-centric approach when examining traditional West African medicine and cultural practices related to healthcare and the body cannot be overstated. In the fields of humanities and social sciences, there has been a tendency to prioritize Euro-centric scholarship at the expense of exploring the belief systems of people of African descent. However, recognising the West African indigenous world-view is a crucial first step in challenging Euro-American epistemological dominance and enabling a more comprehensive analysis of healthcare practices.
Against this backdrop, the present research proposes the term ‘African Medical Humanities’ with the aim of deconstructing Euro-centric universalism and offering an alternative framework for studying health-related phenomena in sub-Saharan African creative writing. Specifically, the analysis will focus on the works of two Nigerian contemporary writers by examining the Abiku/ogbanje (spirit child) motif in relation to mental health and traditional African therapeutics.
The study will pay particular attention to Helen Oyeyemi’s The Icarus Girl (2005) and Akwaeke Emezi’s Freshwater (2018), investigating how these works address mental health and personhood within indigenous therapeutics among West African societies. Through this analysis, the present contribution demonstrates how spirituality is deeply embedded in traditional healthcare practices, thereby reflecting the importance of adopting an African-centric approach to understanding healthcare and the body in West African societies.
Bestie da domare: retoriche e moralizzazioni del vaccino nell’Inghilterra dell’Ottocento
Authors: Natali Ilaria
Published: November 2024

Nel 1798, l'introduzione del vaccino contro il vaiolo genera un complesso intreccio di tensioni che sfocia in un feroce dibattito tanto in ambito medico quanto nel contesto letterario. Edward Jenner presenta l'inoculazione di vaiolo bovino non solo come mezzo per domare una malattia mostruosa, ma anche come strumento di riforma morale e sociale; al contempo, l’origine stessa della scoperta costringe a una riflessione sull’incerta frontiera che separa la scienza medica dalla cultura popolare delle classi subalterne, specie quella tramandata di donna in donna. La progressiva accettazione del vaccino dimostra il potenziale del testo letterario di influenzare e orientare il discorso medico-culturale: avvalendosi di una retorica in grado di imbrigliare l’eccesso, addomesticare l'irregolarità ed esorcizzare il disordine, scrittori quali Bloomfield, Anstey, Williams, Coleridge e Southey contribuiscono a normalizzare un fenomeno dalle implicazioni potenzialmente sovversive trasformandolo in strumento strategico di rafforzamento dell'ordine preesistente.
Voicing (Medical) Complexity in the Theatre of Sarah Kane: 4.48 Psychosis (1999) and its Stage Adaptation by Deafinitely Theatre (2018)
Authors: Capalbo Giuseppe
Published: November 2024

This paper proposes a reading of Sarah Kane’s 4.48 Psychosis (1999) from a theoretical perspective combining medical humanities, disability, and performance studies (Henderson and Ostrander; Murray); the aim is to expand upon previous scholarship which sought to analyse Kane’s multifarious ways of aestheticising—and questioning—illness and pain (e.g. Guarracino, “Scene”; Simon; Soncini), by reading medical discourse through the notion of ‘complexity’ (Kuppers, Theatre; Siebers). Firstly, I will focus on how complexity comes to the surface through the dramatic text: as Jolene Armstrong has pointed out, the linguistic renderings of a psychotic mind—staged as a medical spectacle—make 4.48 Psychosis a peculiar case study because it is “less like a play than a prose poem intended for interpretative performance” (Armstrong 177). Secondly, I will look at how Deafinitely Theatre attempted to translate the dramatic text into a bilingual performance (i.e. in spoken English and British Sign Language), set in a mixed-reality environment (e.g. the incorporation of video material into the live performance). Ultimately, this dual dimension will hopefully shed new light on the degree of performability of (medical) complexity in 4.48 Psychosis.
Chronic Illness and Collective Trauma in Steve Yockey’s Octopus
Authors: Caterino Anna
Published: November 2024

In Steve Yockey’s Octopus (2008), a ravenous sea monster embodies AIDS. A cheerful telegram delivery boy, a drenched messenger on an otherwise sunny day, delivers the news of contagion. The patient is a quick-witted gay man whose emotions are out of sync with his partner’s long before group sex enters the equation. The play is a health tragedy centered on collective trauma and individual illness, in which AIDS is explored through the conventions of the horror genre because of the overlapping representational codes. In Octopus, no distinction is made between good gays and bad queers: the characters are people with their fair share of flaws and virtues. Thus, without stigmatizing, dehumanizing, or overly sanitizing the lives of gay men—at the risk of making the story unpalatable to the audience, Yockey proves theatre’s aptness to portray illnesses and patients, painting the latter as people rather than a set of symptoms. Following this, this paper aims to analyze Octopus through the lens of medical humanities, focusing on the deconstruction of the fragility of communal and private relationships and the potentiality of hope in the face of an epidemic.
La defensa de la vida, la decisión de la muerte. “Un regalo di Natale” de Silvana Grasso
Authors: Martín-Clavijo Milagro
Published: November 2024

En 2007 la escritora siciliana Silvana Grasso publica el relato “Un regalo di Natale” en el volumen Pazza è la luna y con él entra de lleno en el encendido debate sobre la eutanasia en una Italia que no contará con una ley sobre el testamento vital hasta diez años más tarde. Con este relato Grasso se muestra a favor de la autonomía del paciente para decidir cuándo poner fin a una vida que ya no puede definirla como tal y lo hace creando un personaje que, pese a tener reducidas la mayor parte de las funciones de su cuerpo, está lúcido y es capaz de transmitirnos su pensamiento y sus razones para salir de una vida que, como la define Calabrese, tan solo son restos de una vida. En este artículo se analizan las razones que la autora pone en boca del paciente para decidir y llevar a cabo una muerte digna y se pondrán en contexto con las discusiones filosóficas, médicas, religiosas y éticas sobre la muerte y la eutanasia.
An Impossible Healing? Representation of Doctors in Fictional Works about the Great Famine (1958-62) in China
Authors: Pezza Alessandra
Published: November 2024

From Lu Xun’s choice to heal Chinese people with a literary movement instead than medicine in 1922 to “scar literature” (shanghen wenxue 伤痕文学), which first re-elaborated Maoist past in the late 1970s, the metaphor of the “cure” has been widely used to describe the function of literature within Chinese society since modern times. It seems therefore justified to read the representation of medicine in fictional works, especially those dealing with historical trauma, as an allegory.
In the paper, I examine in these terms the recounting of the famine that stroke the Chinese countryside after the Great Leap Forward (1958-62), a period chosen both for its contested inclusion in collective memory and for the representation of illness it imposes. From an overview of some of the few novels set in those years (by authors such as Zhang Yigong, Liu Qingbang, Zhi Liang, Yan Lianke, Mo Yan), a recurrent negative connotation of the doctors emerges: when not directly harmful, they are either absent, passive, or impeded in acting. I suggest that this pessimistic depiction symbolizes not only the historically attested neglect of, and refusal to “heal”, rural areas during the crisis, but also literature’s struggle to play a therapeutic role in a context of denied collective trauma.
Writing Depression: Li Lanni’s Nobody in the Wilderness
Authors: Licandro Daniela
Published: November 2024

Nobody in the Wilderness: A Mental Health Record of a Patient with Depression (2008) is the first of a number of memoirs that contemporary Chinese writer Li Lanni (1956- ) has composed to document her fight against the depression that hit her in 2003, after being cured of thyroid cancer. The memoir brings together Li’s diary entries from different moments of her life, excerpts from her (semi-)autobiographical literary production since the 1980s, memories of life during the Cultural Revolution, medical reports, extracts from scientific studies of mental illness, Bible citations, accounts of the SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) epidemic, and much more. This stratified narrative, where different genres, discourses, and temporalities intersect, encourages a new reflection on depression, its embodiment, and its meanings. Drawing on literary and medical anthropological understandings of embodiment and illness, this article examines Li Lanni’s articulation of depression to shed light on the potential of writing to destigmatize depression and legitimize her particular embodiment of illness against objectifying biomedical and socio-cultural discourses. The analysis of the narrativization of depression as a “montage” of heterogeneous elements and of the reconfiguration of illness as “hereditary”—at once bound to personal, familial, and collective experiences—illuminates the multiple ways in which the memoir complicates body/mind dichotomies and notions of responsibility in contexts of illness. Ultimately, bearing witness to suffering that transcends Li’s own suffering, the memoir acquires an ethical dimension that rests on the ambiguous relationship between the personal and the collective.

The Kind of Face You Would Expect in an Anarchist. Orwell e l’anarchismo
Authors: Binelli Andrea
Published: November 2024

Il lavoro trae spunto da un’indagine del pensiero politico di Orwell che, assieme a una più ampia ricognizione filologica, si è resa necessaria per tradurne le opere letterarie in un modo che rispettasse la complessità dei sottotesti politici. L’approfondimento si è presto trasformato nel tentativo di restituire la coerenza di una visione politica per niente scontata e di sottrarre le analisi sociologiche e politiche di Orwell alla banalizzazione cui sono soggette da decenni. Fra gli ostacoli al riconoscimento critico di tali analisi si è evidenziato il conflitto interno all’autore fra inibizione personale ed entusiasmo polemico, e, parallelamente, un dissidio altrettanto violento fra empirismo materialista e allergia alle teorizzazioni astratte da una parte e impulso a problematizzare e demistificare la presunta normalità dall’altra. Uno degli aspetti della sua vicenda intellettuale ritenuto più disturbante e conseguentemente rimosso dal discorso critico è proprio il rapporto intenso e sofferto con gli anarchici e l’anarchismo. È un rapporto nutrito dal comune pragmatismo e saldatosi dapprima con l’esperienza del fronte antifascista spagnolo e in seguito nelle lotte condivise contro i totalitarismi e le tendenze totalitarie di cui non sono esenti le democrazie occidentali. Il saggio analizza infine il valore più persistente nella scrittura di Orwell, la decency, polo di resistenza umanistica contro l’efficientismo liberticida della modernità capitalista.
Shakespeare 24/25: al museo con il Bardo
Authors: Ferrando Viola Maria
Published: November 2024

La riunione dell’ICOM (International Council of Museums) avvenuta nel 2022 ha stabilito una nuova definizione di museo. Alla luce di questo, quale può essere la funzione di un museo shakespeariano oggi? Shakespeare è l’autore inglese per eccellenza. Non è stato facile “esportarlo” ed aprire una colossale biblioteca a lui dedicata con tanto di museo negli Stati Uniti (la Folger Shakespeare Library) e la inaugurazione del nuovo Museum of Shakespeare a Londra è risultata più difficile del previsto e quindi posticipata al 2025. Tenendo presente i recenti avvenimenti politici (es. Brexit), il museo diventa mezzo per riaffermare e conservare una determinata identità (Cavecchi 1). Questo saggio analizza quale può essere la funzione di un museo shakespeariano oggi incominciando con una panoramica sulle “cultures of commemoration” e prendendo come esempi la Folger Shakespeare Library di Washington e il futuro Museum of Shakespeare di Londra preceduti da una introduzione storica. Oltre che per il tema, entrambe le istituzioni sono accomunate dal fatto di essere in ristrutturazione, la prima, e in costruzione, la seconda. Dopo aver approfondito questi temi, il saggio si conclude con una ulteriore riflessione sul rapporto fra “cultures of commemoration” e l’istituzione museo.

Preparation and Characterization of Apixaban Cocrystals with Coformers for Improving Physical Properties
Authors: Al-Najjar Basma Yahya , Abbas Ishraq Kadhim , Ghareeb Mowafaq Mohammed
Published: November 2024

Background: Cocrystals are stoichiometric, multicomponent crystalline materials composed of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and a coformer arranged in a crystalline structure. Apixaban (APX) is an oral blood thinner that has a low aqueous solubility of 0.028mg/mL at 24 °C and a weak oral bioavailability of about 50% for doses below 10 mg, decreasing as doses above 25 mg are taken. Objectives: To develop and assess APX cocrystal to improve its solubility. Methods: Cocrystals of APX with diverse coformers were synthesized using the solvent evaporation technique in varying molar ratios. The structure of the synthesized cocrystals was validated by DSC, PXRD, and FTIR analyses. Saturation solubility of APX and cocrystals in water was also investigated. Results: APX cocrystals with diverse coformers exhibited distinct physicochemical features. The co-crystal of APX with oxalic acid at a 1:1 ratio exhibited a 2.54-fold enhancement in solubility relative to that of pure APX in water. Each coformer enhanced the solubility of the APX co-crystals. The FTIR spectra of the cocrystals indicated no interaction between the APX and the coformers. The DSC analysis revealed distinct endothermic peaks corresponding to its melting point, indicating the development of cocrystals. The PXRD diffractogram demonstrated fluctuation of 2 theta values of peaks and confirmed cocrystallization of APX. Conclusions: Cocrystallization may serve as a potential method to improve the solubility of APX.

A total of 37 fungal species belonging to 26 genera of fungi were isolated from the phylloplane of alder (Alnus nepalensis D.Don) at different growth stages of the leaves in open and closed alder forests. The fungi increased gradually from folded to senescent stage and the peak was obtained at the maturity of the leaves. The least population was obtained at the bud or folded stages soon after flushing. Penicillium fumiculosum, Alternaria alternate and Aspergillus nidulens were dominant species immediately after flushing. When the leaves were undergoing maturation and entered into the senescent stage Cladosporium herbarium, Trichoderma viride and Fusarium oxysporium became dominant. The leaf spot disease caused by Septoria alnifolia of deuteromycetous pathogen was also observed during the study period.

Variation was observed among nine seed sources of Acacia nilotica, for various pod and seed characters. Pod length varied from 13.55 to 15.11 cm. Seed length and seed width varied from 7.50 to 8.11 mm and 6.69 to 7.02 mm, respectively. However, seed weight ranged from 13.06 to 15.85 g. Germination of seeds collected from various sources was 69.33 to 80.66 per cent. Root length and shoot length varied from 3.70 to 5.70 cm and 5.43 to 8.66 cm, respectively. Out of different seed sources, Sirsa seed source performed better as it ranked 1st for nine characters, viz., pod length, seed length, seed thickness, seed volume, germination percentage, shoot length, seedling dry weight, vigour index-I and vigour index-II. It was observed that higher seed weight, viability and low electrical conductivity gave vigorous seedlings.
