Authors: Li Tuo , Ma Chuanchuan , Xue Chun , Jin Ri , Li Yuquan , Chu Zhibing , Tuo Leifeng , Gui Hailian
Published: December 2024

Magnesium and its alloys are widely used as high-quality metal materials in various fields. In this study, the tensile properties of magnesium single crystals under different loading directions were investigated based on the molecular dynamics theory. By analyzing the changes in stress, potential energy, crystal structure, and dislocation lines, the following conclusions can be drawn: There are differences in strain values, dislocation line arrangement laws, and crystal structures of magnesium single crystals when dislocation lines are generated under different loading directions. However, the types of dislocation lines are generally the same, with 1/3­ dislocations and dislocations with an unknown structure being dominant. Furthermore, the results indicate that the number of 1/3­ dislocations is larger than that of dislocations with an unknown structure. These findings are of great significance for a deeper understanding of the deformation mechanism of magnesium single crystals.

Authors: J. Jerold John Britto , A. Vasanthanathan , K. Karthik Vinayaga , P. S. R. Senthil Maharaj
Published: December 2024

This paper deals with an experimental and finite-element investigation of smart polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) embedded with a glass-fabric-reinforced polymer (GFRP) beam structure under vibration. PVDFs are well known stretchy polymer that process the properties of both piezoelectric and pyroelectric materials. An LDT0-028K PVDF polymer film is proposed in the present paper. Glass-fiber-reinforced polymer is a lightweight composite material having a high specific strength and specific stiffness, due to which it has a wide range of applications in the field of smart composite structures. GFRP laminates and beam structures are fabricated in the present investigation through a vacuum-assisted resin-infusion process (VARIP). Mechanical characterization in accordance with ASTM standards were also carried out for the purpose of the estimation of uni-directional mechanical properties of GFRP, which are a pre-requisite for finite-element simulations. Both the experiments and the finite-element modelling were carried out for the smart piezo composite beam structure under forced vibration conditions. The finite-element computations were incorporated in the present study using ANSYS® 16.0 Mechanical APDL. The results of the experimental and FEM investigations show a deviation of around 6.2 %, with the experimental values validating the FEM analysis. Based on the harmonic response of the smart piezo-composite beam, a micro-energy harvesting study was established with reference to the varying frequency and voltage.

The article presents the results of an experimental study analyzing changes in emotional states during video gaming on a PC and reading texts from paper, as well as during transitions between these two activities. The study involved 62 students (mean age: 18.3 years, SD = 2.28; 82% female). Participants were divided into two groups: one group read texts first and then played a video game, while the other group played a video game first and then read texts. Participants' emotional states were assessed using a self-report questionnaire administered five times: before the experiment, after each 10- minute episode of video gaming, after each 10-minute episode of reading, and finally, at the end of the experiment. The results demonstrate that the intensity of negative and positive emotions, as well as anxiety, is higher during video gaming, while reading is characterized by a state of calmness. The findings further suggest that reading after playing a video game reduces positive emotions and increases calmness, whereas reading popular texts on its own does not significantly alter emotional states. Reading before playing a video game, however, decreases the intensity of positive emotions experienced during gameplay. Transitioning from gaming to reading leads to a reduction in the intensity of most emotions and an increase in calmness, while transitioning from reading to gaming results in a significant rise in emotional intensity. Emotional states change considerably when switching from one activity to another (i.e., from reading to gaming and vice versa) but remain stable for at least 20 minutes during a single activity. It is suggested that the changes in emotional states are not driven by the specific activities themselves but rather by the act of switching between activities. The results are interpreted within the framework of understanding emotions as a readiness to act. It is concluded that a short video game during breaks between academic work can serve as a form of emotional switching and relaxation.
Artificial Itntelligence in the Assessment and Enhancement of Creativity
Authors:   HSE University, Moscow, Russian Federation, Vecherin Alexandr , Yagolkovskiy Sergey ,   HSE University, Moscow, Russian Federation
Published: December 2024

The article focuses on ways to use artificial intelligence in assessment and enhancement of creativity. This topic seems very important in the context of the intensive development of computer technologies providing people with the vast range of opportunities to improve their professional skills and intensify their personal development. Some particular ways of the use of artificial intelligence are analyzed. Artificial intelligence can operate independently and generate its own creative ideas. At the same time, it can interact with humans within the creative process or serve as a “creative assistance” of humans. The results of the empirical studies in this area showed that the efficacy of the artificial intelligence in the course of assessment and enhancement of human creativity is determined to considerable extent by a task given, a particular area which artificial intelligence operates in, and the specific forms of its interactions with humans. In some areas (e.g., generation of alternative uses), artificial intelligence can outperform humans, whereas in other tasks (e.g., creative writing) humans perform better that artificial intelligence. Some practical recommendations on how to optimize the use of artificial intelligence in assessment and enhancement of creativity, were proposed. Results of the study can be used in the development of creativity assessment methods as well as for the improvement of interaction between people and artificial intelligence.
Evaluation of the Hispaniolan endemic Graffenrieda ottoschulzii (Melastomataceae)
Authors: Hadley Jordan , Majure Lucas C.
Published: December 2024

The putative Hispaniolan endemic Graffenrieda ottoschulzii (syn. = Miconia ottoschulzii) was evaluated morphologically and phylogenetically. Morphological data clearly place the species within Miconia, as the taxon is missing the dorsal appendage on the connective and capsule fruits of Graffenrieda but has the berry fruits of Miconia. Phylogenetically G. ottoschulzii was resolved as sister to the widespread and mostly South American, M. pyrifolia, and we conclude here that the two taxa are conspecific. We provide an updated description of M. pyrifolia and lectotypify the names M. ottoschulzii and M. pyrifolia.
Introduction to Plants in Central Somaliland (Hordhac ku saabsan dhirta ka baxda badhtamaha Soomaalilaand)
Authors: Madamy Michael H.
Published: December 2024

Reading this attractive and unique diglot book brings me both a sense of nostalgia coupled with optimism for the future. Having taught range ecology at both the Agricultural Faculty of the Somali National University and the adjacent Agricultural Secondary School near Afgooye from 1982–1984, I recognized many familiar species. If only such a book like this had been available 40 years ago when we went on field trips! There were some basic field guides available in Kenya, but the floristic differences from Somalia limited their usefulness.
            This book is well illustrated by clear photos of all the species described. Its size and sturdy binding make it handy for bringing into the field. Beginning with a description of the basic natural regions of Somaliland and ending with References, Glossary, Index and Appendix, Awale, Gelle, and Pickering have produced a very useful guide to common plants of this region. Distribution for each species is clearly stated with many regional endemics highlighted.
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer-A Case of the Bazex
Authors: Timothy Cook , Carles Escriu
Published: December 2024

Bazex syndrome is a rare form of paraneoplastic syndrome affecting the skin, rarely identified as an underlying cancer cause at presentation. The current case highlights, as well as a literature review of cases, a 76-year-old man with a smoking history and no skin medical history who had a delayed diagnosis of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Initial pre-diagnosis skin plaque treatment failed, with progressing shortness of breath leading to a finding of lung cancer. Plaques were classical in this case and did respond to the chemotherapy as previously reported, but not previously noted with the combination used in this case. Although the skin plaques responded to treatment, the patient did eventually die of advancing lung cancer.
Conceptual Study of Enzymatic Organic Reactions in the Bacteriophage Therapy
Authors: Topwe Milongwe Mwene-Mbeja
Published: December 2024

In order to neutralize bacteria, bacteriophages hydrolyze chemical constituents of the bacterial cellular membrane, such as phospholipids, glycolipids as well as glycoproteins before reaching the bacterial cytoplasm, an intracellular environment containing water, salts, and a diversity of organic compounds notably ribonucleic acid (RNA) along with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). In this perspective, when bacteriophages access the bacterial cytoplasm, they develop and consequently the excessive accumulation of bacteriophages facilitates or smooths the way for bacterial degradation.
Biochemical analysis to study wild-type and polyglutamine expanded ATXN3 species v1
Authors: Quinet Grégoire , Cristina Paz-Cabrera María , Freire Raimundo
Published: December 2024

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is a cureless neurodegenerative disease recognized as the most prevalent form of dominantly inherited ataxia worldwide. The main hallmark of SCA3 is the expansion of a polyglutamine tract located in the C-terminal of Ataxin-3 (or ATXN3) protein, that triggers the mis-localization and toxic aggregation of ATXN3 in neuronal cells. The propensity of wild type and polyglutamine-expanded ATXN3 proteins to aggregate has been extensively studied over the last decades. In vitro studies with mass spectrometry techniques revealed a time-dependent aggregation of polyglutamine-expanded ATXN3 that occurs in several steps, leading to fibrils formation, a high status of aggregation. For in vivo experiments though, the techniques commonly used to demonstrate aggregation of polyglutamine proteins, such as filter trap assays, SDS-PAGE and SDS-AGE, are unable to unequivocally show all the stages of aggregation of wild type and polyglutamine-expanded ATXN3 proteins. Here we describe a systematic and detailed analysis of different known techniques to detect the various forms of both wild type and pathologic ATXN3 aggregates.

This article presents some interesting floristic data from the survey of forests of the ‘Kis-Sarrét’ and the ‘Körös Plain’ microregions (East Hungary) between 2016 and 2024. This article focuses on species associated with mesophilic forests. The majority of the data presented are from the forests of the ‘Kis-Sarrét’ and the ‘Körös Plain’, including some surprising species new to the southern part of the ‘Tiszántúl’ region, including Corydalis pumila in Bélmegyer and Salvia glutinosa in Körösnagy­harsány. Several species typical of mesophilic forests were also found in these two areas, which are extremely rare in the southern part of ‘Tiszántúl’ region, of which only one or two current occurrences are known (e.g. Allium oleraceum, Carex remota, Hesperis sylvestris and Orchis purpurea). In addition to the most interesting data, I report the occurrence of all species associated with mesophilic forests that are not included in the maps of the online database of Hungarian vascu­lar plants, except for a few common species. The level of detail of the 42 species enumerated varies according to their importance. The more interesting species are described in more detail, while for the more common species, only brief occurrence data are given, with some comments where necessary.
CONCEPTUALISATION OF THE TERM INFORMATION WARFARE: FROM MILITARY DOCTRINES TO LINGUISTIC RESEARCH
Authors:   National Academy of the Security Service of Ukraine, Kyiv, Ukraine, KARNAUKH Serhii
Published: December 2024

In the context of Russia’s full-scale invasion of our country, linguistics is also becoming a battlefield – an information one. Communicative strategies for building national resilience, developing a national strategic narrative, developing linguistic means of counteracting the destructive influences of the aggressor state – these and other issues have appeared on the agenda of Ukrainian linguists. However, one of the primary tasks is to identify the linguistic markers of information warfare as one of the discursive dimensions of contemporary international relations. The purpose of the article is to trace the stages of formation and conceptualization of the term “information warfare”, to propose its linguistic definition and to highlight the components that require linguistic comprehension. The author examines 6 stages of conceptualization of the concept of information warfare’: Stage I (1970s) – emergence of the concept of “information warfare” in the security discourse; Stage II (1990s) – institutionalization of the concept of “information warfare”, its status as a term in the official documents of the US Department of Defense; Stage III (late 1990s) – philosophical and communicative understanding of the phenomenon of information warfare; Stage IV (2000s) – conceptualization and mediatization of the term “information warfare”; V stage (2010–2014) – interdisciplinary, in particular linguistic, understanding of the term “information warfare”; VI stage (2014 – present) – development of linguistic tools of information warfare. The article offers the author’s own definition of information warfare in the linguistic dimension as a war of discourses using the capabilities of language, in particular, suggestive ones, to exert cognitive and pragmatic influence on certain target audiences of the enemy in order to achieve strategic goals or counteract its hostile intentions. The author considers the following to be promising areas for further linguistic research on information warfare: the discursive dimension of information warfare; conflict of interpretations as a type of information weapon; language means, in particular, suggestive ones, as an element of shaping the behavior of target audiences and their attitude to war and peace.
TYPOLOGY AND FUNCTIONS OF CONTEMPORARY MEDIA NARRATIVES OF THE RUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN WAR
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, MYTSIUK Maryna
Published: December 2024

The article investigates the typology of contemporary narratives emerging in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war, revealing their role in shaping collective memory and the national identity of Ukrainians. Special attention is devoted to analyzing how these narratives function within the media space and societal consciousness. The objective of the study is to identify key elements in the typology of these narratives and assess their impact on society during wartime and in the postwar period. The research employs content analysis and discourse analysis to identify and systematize significant trends in the formation of narratives represented in the media and social networks. Content analysis examines primary themes, motives, and symbols present in different types of narratives, as well as their frequency and interconnections. Discourse analysis helps to investigate how these narratives function within the political, social, and cultural realities, uncovering deep ideological meanings and reflections of public sentiments. The scientific novelty lies in developing a typology of contemporary narratives that emerge during the Russian-Ukrainian war and analyzing their role in constructing the Ukrainian national identity amid the armed conflict. The article presents a comprehensive approach to studying both traditional (heroic, tragic, satirical) narratives and new forms, such as mythologized and subcultural narratives. The study also examines how the war influences the transformation of these narratives and how these narratives shape the society’s perception of the conflict. The findings reveal that contemporary narratives of the Russian-Ukrainian war fulfill several crucial functions, including the formation of collective memory, boosting national morale, and defining cultural markers that strengthen national identity. Heroic narratives help construct the image of national heroes, while tragic narratives emphasize human loss and suffering. Satirical narratives, on the other hand, serve as a tool for criticizing the enemy and fostering unity within the nation. The article also outlines prospects for further research on post-war narratives, which may evolve or transform, with their impact on societal consciousness potentially shifting depending on political and sociocultural conditions.
ENLIGHTENMENT REALISM AESTHETICS IN VOLTAIRE’S STORY “THE SIMPLETON” AND I. KOTLYAREVSKY’S PLAY “NATALKA POLTAVKA”
Authors:   Khmelnytskyi National University, Khmelnytskyi, Ukraine, PAPUSHYNA Valentyna
Published: December 2024

Based on the methodology of comparative analysis, the article examines the aesthetic ideas of the Enlightenment in the French story “The Simpleton” by Voltaire (1767) and the Ukrainian play “Natalka Poltavka” by I. Kotlyarevsky (1819). The closeness of the authors’ exploration of the enlightenment ideas aimed at the formation of moral and aesthetic ideals of their contemporaries: the national character of a person, thinking “with the heart”, education and culture of a “natural man” is determined. It is emphasized that I. Kotlyarevskyi’s play “Natalka Poltavka” joins the polemic raised by Voltaire in the story “The Simpleton» regarding the enlightened idea of “natural man” by J.-J. Rousseau. Although in Ukraine the Enlightenment ideology was perceived by thinkers mainly in its Russoist form, I. Kotlyarevskyi had doubts regarding its progressive effect. Following Voltaire, he expresses thoughts in his play about the beneficial influence of certain achievements of civilization and enlightenment on the human being. From the point of view of the Enlightenment aesthetic ideas, the models developed by the authors for solving the tasks of the era through enlightenment as the main tool of civilization and development of the best natural features of man are considered. Simpleton, “the natural man”, becomes a tribune of author’s philosophical views on society, ways of its improvement, formation of human moral beauty. Natalka and Petro from I. Kotlyarevsky’s play “Natalka Poltavka” appear as the same types of “natural” people. It was determined that the expressive means used in Voltaire’s story “The Simpleton” and I. Kotlyarevsky’s play “Natalka Poltavka” carry persuasive power of the writers’ thoughts through various aesthetic categories. The authors are close in their raising of the important questions of society’s existence, shared by many nations, and related by their realistic recreation of reality with effective expressive means. These works are filled with humor, satire and often with grotesque. I. Kotlyarevsky adds folk songs to his play (that’s why he called it a folk opera), which convey the public opinion nurtured by the folk morality better than the characters’ lines. Voltaire, using the technique of “alienation”, demonstrates the absurdity of high life and appeals not only to the mind, but also to the heart. We single out such a technique in I. Kotlyarevsky’s play “Natalka Poltavka”. It is emphasized that, synthesizing the universal and national trends of the Enlightenment in artistic practice, its representatives formed the aesthetics of the movement, relying on the aesthetic ideal of happiness and opposition to everything that hinders it. The French and Ukrainian writers Voltaire and I. Kotlyarevsky discovered new means of depicting reality, which contributed to the formation of moral and aesthetic ideals of their contemporaries. Their creative universalism is directed towards the future.

Analysis of Health Care Professionals’ Knowledge, Attitudes and Behaviours about Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV/AIDS: A Cross-sectional Clinical Study
Authors: Şahin Ahmet
Published: December 2024

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the level of knowledge about hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), their approaches to patients and the deficiencies that need to be corrected among health care workers including physicians and nurses in a training and research hospital.
Methods: Healthcare professionals were surveyed on 30.07.2023 for this cross-sectional clinical study. Questions were asked to the respondents about HBV, HCV, and HIV/AIDS (transmission routes, perspectives on the disease, prevention methods, prophylaxis, etc.) via Google Forms. A chi-square test was performed for statistical analysis of the obtained data.
Results: A total of 165 healthcare professionals, 77 (46.7%) physicians and 88 (53.3%) nurses, filled out the questionnaire and participated in the study. 89 (53.9%) of them were women. Based on the results of this study, the lack of knowledge about HBV, HCV and HIV/AIDS was less in physicians than in nurses. In addition, as the years of work in the profession increased, the level of knowledge increased with the experience. The majority of the respondents correctly stated that all three viruses were transmitted through blood. However, the percentage of correct answers was low in questions about breastfeeding, vertical transmission, and post-exposure prophylaxis. The most common measure to prevent transmission from infected patients was the “use of gloves” (70.9%).
Conclusion: It is necessary to increase the knowledge level of health workers about HBV, HCV, and HIV by periodically organizing in-service trainings. This will help ensure effective infection control.

Design Considerations of the Resonant Chamber of an Oscillating Water
Authors: Parra-Quintero Juan David , Rubio-Clemente Ainhoa , Chica-Arrieta Edwin Lenin
Published: December 2024

One of the most promising devices for harnessing the energy of the waves is the oscillating water column (OWC). Since its creation, it has been evidenced that this device has been a subject of multiple investigations focused on improving its hydrodynamic efficiency. Several geometric factors influence the efficiency of the water resonant chamber. Among these parameters, the internal length or width, the inclination angle of the front wall, and the depth of the immersion stand out, as well as the air outlet diameter. In this regard, it is crucial to understand the importance of these factors and their interactions in the process of capturing the energy contained in a wave front for the subsequent design optimization of this type of structure. For this purpose, the response surface methodology or the surrogate models are regarded as a good option to study the sensitivity of these factors on their effect on the efficiency of the resonant chamber. In this work, the research of the main considerations for the design of an OWC resonance chamber under a wide variety of wave conditions are described.
The Authority of the Saints as a Model and Example to Follow According to Pope Francis
Authors: Zharuk Oleg
Published: December 2024

From the moment a person chooses certain religious principles and begins to shape their relationship with God, the development of a religious personality begins. In religious education, authorities and personal models are necessary, and they help a person better understand the need to live according to principles and values. Therefore, in order for a person to grow and mature in their religiosity, they need appropriate authorities and models.
Pope Francis in the Apostolic Exhortation entitled “Gaudete et Exsultate. On the call to holiness in the contemporary world” (April 9, 2018) draws special attention to holiness as a category that is not abstract, not impersonal, but true and real. Holiness is always connected with a person; it is a vocation to be an authority and a model that they become for other believers. Saints become true authorities for us and help in educating others. When writing the Exhortation, Pope Francis was aware of the importance of an example in the process of shaping the character of every person and their upbringing. The Holy Father closely links authority as a personal model with the vocation to holiness.
Francis understands authority in the catechetical sense. This model is understood as moral perfection, and it is adherence to Christ himself. Therefore, in addition to the persons of Jesus and Mary, there are other authorities and models in Catholic education. We make reference to such people who wanted to imitate Christ as perfectly as possible in their lives. These are the saints, the blessed, as well as people who, by the example of their lives, are worthy of imitation: parents who raise their children; working men and women; sick, elderly people; and consecrated persons. The transmission of appropriate and valuable authorities and models is necessary in the upbringing of not only children and youth, but also adults.

Background
Osteochondroma is one of the most common solitary bone lesions. Multiple lesions are possible only in some genetic abnormalities, such as hereditary multiple exostoses (HME). Half of spinal osteochondroma is documented at the cervical level, although there are some levels and locations where it is rare to find an osteochondroma.
Methods
An advanced search of the PubMed database was performed for case reports and case series of spinal cervical osteochondroma. After data extraction, information was organized in one table and many figures to facilitate data comprehension.
Result
Osteochondroma was common in younger patients, with 26% of all cases in the literature being in those aged 18 to 35 years, and 24% of patients were aged 36 to 50. Over half (55%) of cases were in males. The most common presentation among all patients was neck pain and swelling or lump sensation. Moreover, 38% of cases were osteochondroma at the C1 level, and 33% were noted to affect the posterior arch. The majority of the cases had a favorable prognosis as most of them underwent total surgical resection of the tumor and decompression of the neural compartment.
Conclusion
Solitary cervical osteochondroma is a bony, benign lesion that can have devastating sequelae such as severe painful radiculopathy and quadriplegia if it is not approached correctly. History, examination, and radiological investigation are all crucial to making the best clinical judgment for the patients.
Teracim-i Ahval Literatürünün Otobiyografik Değeri
Authors: Akyıldız Ali
Published: December 2024

Osmanlı toplumunda otobiyografi geleneğinin olmadığı veya çok zayıf bir alan olduğu genelde kabul edilen ve ilgili literatürde yakın bir zamana kadar da hayli baskın olan bir görüştü. Son dönemlerde konunun yeniden gündeme getirilip tartışılmaya başlanmasıyla birlikte bu alanda uzun süre neredeyse yegâne metin olarak bilinen Tımışvarlı Osman Ağa’nın otobiyografik eserini bu yalnızlıktan kurtaracak yeni metin ve verilerin ortaya çıkmaya başladığı görülüyor. Otobiyografi literatürüne katkı yapmayı amaçlayan bu yazıda, bugüne kadar neredeyse üzerinde hiç durulmayan bir konunun, yani Osmanlı toplumunda sağlam bir geleneği olduğu ve hadika, tezkire, devha gibi genel başlıklar altında kesintisiz bir şekilde varlığını sürdürdüğü halde genel olarak tabakat veya teracim-i ahval olarak da isimlendirilen grup biyografisi literatürünün vermiş olduğu bilgilerin otobiyografik değeri söz konusu edilmektedir. Makalede, 16. yüzyılın ilk yarısından itibaren imparatorluğun sonuna kadar varlığını sürdürüp neredeyse bütün ana metinleri yeni harflerle neşredilmiş olan ve sanatkâr, tarihçi, şair, âlim ve sair grupların kısa biyografilerini veren bu literatürü ortaya koyan yazarlar zincirinin kendi dönemlerinde yaşayan önemli insanların biyografilerini kaleme alırken ihtiyaç duydukları ve dayandıkları bilgileri bizzat veya bilvasıta hayatını yazdıkları kişilerden aldıkları ve dolayısıyla bu metinlerin büyük ölçüde otobiyografik malzemeye dayandıkları tezini ileri sürmekte ve delillendirmektedir.
Prince with Daddy Issues Seeks Sisterly Support: Two Ego Documents Penned by Şehzade Korkud
Authors: Al-tikriti Nabil
Published: December 2024

Following a brief analysis of self-narrative writing among Ottoman royals towards the turn of the sixteenth century, this article argues for consideration of “collective biography” as a methodological approach before presenting two “ego-documents” by one of those royals. Şehzade Korkud (d. 1513), who left behind several small samples of self-narrative, also wrote two clear examples of ego-documents, a treatise to his father Bayezid II (d. 1512) defending his decision to go on the ḥajj, and a fearful letter to his sister Sofu Fatma (fl. 1512) seeking political guidance in the midst of a politically tense succession struggle. The treatise, Wasīlat al-aḥbāb, is summarized and analyzed here, while the letter is transliterated and translated in full.

O objetivo deste trabalho é compreender a relação entre o posicionamento de psicólogos na plataforma digital TikTok sobre o Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade (TDAH) e a cultura de patologização do viver. Trata-se de uma pesquisa documental qualitativa. Foram selecionados quatro vídeos bem como os dez primeiros comentários nos respectivos vídeos foram utilizados para fins de coleta e análise de dados. Desse modo, por meio da análise de discurso foram tecidas reflexões sobre as dimensões ético-políticas da prática profissional, bem como os seus impactos na construção das subjetividades. Conclui-se, portanto, que os discursos produzidos nas redes sociais virtuais causam impactos significativos nas condições de existência dos usuários que recebem tais conteúdo.
ACONTECIMENTOS ANTROPO{GRÁFICOS}: EXPERIMENTAÇÕES COM PALAVRAS, ENTRE AGENCIAMENTOS E MUNDOS POSSÍVEIS
Authors: TAVEIRA BRAGA JONATHAN , SCHMIDLIN ELAINE
Published: December 2024

Este texto propõe a antropofagia como horizonte conceitual no pensamento da diferença e apresenta algumas contribuições estéticas em torno dos processos de formação e da produção de subjetividades na contemporaneidade. Escritas e experimentações, enquanto relações inventivas entre o território da arte e a formação docente, foram propostas em momentos-oficinas intitulados: Antropo(grafias) – ateliê de devorações escritas. Tais momentos possibilitaram práticas cartográficas e um ensaio para a questão: pode uma escrita-força produzir outros modos possíveis de mundo? Com essa inquietação e vivências, acontecimentos antropo{gráficos} acionaram movimentos de criação e partilhas em encontros com imagens, sons e palavras, proliferando exercícios intensivos de escuta e constituição de si.
Sobre inteireza, partilha e ginga: tessituras para uma docência em Psicologia engajada em adiar o fim do mundo
Authors: Alves Prates Maíne , Rodrigues Luciana
Published: December 2024

Essa escrita busca partilhar diálogos com feministas negras e referências pactuadas com o exercício contracolonial, firmando aprendizados que nos ajudem a seguir adiando o fim do mundo, a sustentar ser inteireza e amorosidade no chão da sala de aula do ensino superior em Psicologia. Sustentamos uma prática pedagógica engajada, que afirma o corpo, a experiência, a contação de histórias sem que isso perca de vista o aprendizado situado como conteúdo. Partilhamos nossas histórias para que elas possam instigar o compartilhar de outras; a pensar sobre possíveis escolhas nas encruzilhadas dos territórios educacionais. Nos importa a ginga, a gira, a roda, o cirandar que provoca efeitos de transformação do ser e do social, a partir de uma educação como prática de liberdade.
PEDAGOGIAS DOS AFETOS: UMA INTERLOCUÇÃO COM AS HISTÓRIAS E CULTURAS AFRICANAS, AFRO-BRASILEIRA E INDÍGENAS
Authors: Aguiar Jacilene , Santos Pontes Beatriz , S. F.  Xipaya Rayane
Published: December 2024

Resumo: Este trabalho tem como objetivo identificar como a Pedagogia dos Afetos e sua relação com as tradições histórico-culturais africanas, afro-brasileiras e indígenas, a partir das leis 10.639/2003 e 11.645/2008, podem ser mobilizadas como educ(ações) para um ensino democrático, capaz de valorizar a diversidade e difundir ideais para adiar o fim do mundo. Com o avanço do campo das relações étnico-raciais, diversos desafios tornaram-se centrais no campo educacional. A problemática que referenda os escritos  que aqui se apresentam é: como incluir práticas e saberes de povos afro-brasileiros e indígenas, sua história e cultura no currículo escolar? Tais demandas evidenciam a necessidade de incluir outras práticas e epistemologias negras e indígenas capazes de construir uma educação que valorize os diversos saberes e compreendam os sujeitos em sua pluralidade e coletividade.

SILÊNCIOS NA ERA DA TÉCNICA: A jornada de Lenz Buchmann
Authors: Silva Gabriela Fujimori da , Tofalini Luzia Aparecida Berloffa
Published: December 2024

Este artigo analisa a complexa relação entre silêncio e morte na obra Aprender a Rezar na Era da Técnica, de Gonçalo M. Tavares, com ênfase na trajetória da personagem Lenz Buchmann. A partir da perspectiva da polifonia do silêncio, exploram-se as múltiplas camadas de significado que emergem dos não-ditos, da fragmentação narrativa e da violência que permeiam a obra. Argumenta-se que a morte de Lenz, um cirurgião obcecado pelo controle e pela negação da fragilidade humana, representa a supremacia do silêncio sobre a razão instrumental e a ilusão de domínio sobre a vida. Na obra de Tavares, o silêncio não é um vazio, mas uma forma de expressão carregada de significado, capaz de revelar as complexidades da condição humana diante da morte e dos limites da técnica. A pesquisa terá como principais subsídios teóricos os estudos de Le Breton (1997), Orlandi (2007) e Tofalini (2020).
O SAGRADO E O PROFANO NAS RELIGIÕES DE MATRIZES AFRICANAS E OS SEUS DESDOBRAMENTOS MUSICAIS: suas contribuições filosóficas não dualistas ao pensamento ocidental
Authors: Barbosa Wesley
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo pretende desvelar, da situação-limite da escravidão africana, a música afro-brasileira como inédito viável. E esta musicalidade negra, como oriunda, especificamente, das religiões de matriz africana. Ou seja, há uma conectividade entre a experiência do sagrado, com os seus arpejos sonoros, nos terreiros de candomblé, e sua forte inseparabilidade do profano, com as suas festas de santo, abertas aos não iniciados, e a constituição da música popular, especialmente, do samba. Deste modo, as religiões de matriz africana, candomblé, voduns, calundus, e os seus desdobramentos em festas litúrgicas, promovem uma operação hermenêutica capaz de esvaziar a forma de pensamento dualista, profundamente europeia. E esta é uma grande contribuição do pensamento brasileiro ao pensamento ocidental. Enquanto uma filosofia dividiu o mundo em dois, forjando uma ficção interpretativa, o candomblé, o samba, o choro, os negros brasileiros, mantiveram a unidade do mundo, apesar de sua multiplicidade, deixando-se conectar-se com o real, não só pela via da razão, mas também das paixões, do corpo, do sentimento, do sagrado profano, e do profano sagrado. Ou seja, a história da música brasileira, como história do Brasil, na sua conexão com as religiões de terreiro, desvelam uma realidade múltipla no uno, porque o uno é múltiplo, pois o sagrado e o profano se confundem, assim como festa e ação política cidadã, além do sofrimento de uma dor imensa e a alegria de se fazer graça numa realidade devastada pela miséria moral do jugo do colonizador. A hipótese é a de que a experiência cultural e política da realidade brasileira oferecem à história da filosofia, suportes que superam as prerrogativas dialéticas, dualistas, ressentidas, reativas ou rancorosas, de um estilo de pensamento que opera sob os polos de A e B na intenção de uma síntese teleológica. A experiência brasileira músico religiosa, rompe estas premissas, pois aventa coesões de um para além de bem e mal.
LOCALIDADE DE SANTA LEOCÁDIA, CANOINHAS/SC: apontamentos históricos acerca de sua origem e de sua vinculação à guerra do contestado
Authors: Gudas Diego , Alves Jorge Amaro Bastos
Published: December 2024

A Questão de Limites ou Questão do Contestado entre Paraná e Santa Catarina foi a disputa pelas terras entre os rios Uruguai e Iguaçu, ao sul de Rio Negro. O Paraná baseava sua reivindicação no princípio do uti possidetis, que estabelece direito sobre o território pela posse exercida. Arthur de Paula e Souza, político influente e prefeito de União da Vitória/PR, fundou, em 1905, a fazenda Santa Leocádia, à margem esquerda do Iguaçu. A pesquisa analisou a origem da fazenda no contexto da Questão de Limites, utilizando pesquisa indutiva e documental, destacando jornais da época. Concluiu-se que Santa Leocádia foi um ponto estratégico na disputa e seu surgimento impactou diretamente o desenvolvimento regional, ao influenciar a organização territorial e econômica local, vinculada à trajetória de Arthur de Paula, que foi assassinado durante a Guerra do Contestado.
