Authors:   Associate Professor, Dept of English, Bhatter College, Dantan, India, Mukherjee T. T. , Satpathy S. P. ,   Associate Professor, Dept of Humanities and Social Sciences, Siksha O Anusandhan, Bhubaneswar
Published: November 2024

This paper critically engages with Anuj Lugun’s poetics of resistance and reclamation by focusing on his representation of the civilization of water, forest, and land. Lugun, an emerging voice in contemporary indigenous literature in India, uses poetry to articulate the struggles and resilience of tribal communities in India to resist the forces of displacement and environmental degradation and reclaim cultural identity. Through a close reading of selected poems translated by Pragya Shukla, this study analyzes the way Lugun weaves a narrative that challenges dominant historical and cultural discourses. The analysis also explores how Lugun represents the ongoing fight for Indigenous rights and environmental and social justice through a unique blend of traditional oral storytelling with modern poetic forms. This paper links Lugun’s poetics with global Indigenous artistic practices by showing how Lugun’s poetry addresses the same concerns. It also reflects the spirit of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those focused on Gender Equality, Life on Land, Climate Action, and Reduced Inequalities.

Authors:   Department of English, Tezpur University, Assam, Das Jubi , Mohapatra Debasish
Published: November 2024

With the turn of the century, as new forms of media emerged along with technological innovations, it transformed how students perceive information, making them mostly audio-visual learners. However, despite various educational benefits, there is a gap in the accessibility of these technological innovations across schools in India, depriving students of an engaging way of language learning. This study examines the potential of an easily available and appealing multimodal resource, the comic book, for English language learning. It delves into the potential of physical comic books as an innovative tool to bridge the gap between traditional approaches and technology-assisted approaches in schools of marginalized areas of India. As it is crucial to understand students’ interests and perspectives for the successful implementation of an innovative tool, this study was conducted among 369 students of private and government schools in Assam, India and observed a positive response. It also highlighted the potential for improvement in certain language skills using comic books under proper guidance.
The Translator’s Cognitive Construction in the Perspective of Cognitive Narratology
Authors:   Donghua University, Lu Feng
Published: November 2024

Current research on combining cognitive narratology and translation studies focuses on defining the role of translation within cognitive narratology, challenging the assumption that original and target texts are undifferentiated in narratological studies. However, this research rarely refers to the translator’s cognitive mechanism in the narrative process. Drawing on the Psycho-spatial theory, the space network of the whole translation activity includes the author’s cognitive space of original narrative text, the translator’s cognitive spaces of narrative construction and re-narrative reconstruction, and the reader’s cognitive space of re-narrative acceptance, meaning that the translator should participate in the cognitive process of narrative construction and re-narrative reconstruction by moving in these different spaces. In addition, this research looks into the translator’s specific identity information and cognitive operations to detect its cognitive basis and explain the cognitive activity.
Female Consciousness and Stereotypes in Chinese Female-Directed Cinema: Insights from the film Send Me to the Clouds
Authors:   Faculty of Creative Arts, Universiti Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Wenyu Mao , Ismail Roslina
Published: November 2024

This paper analyzes Chinese female director Teng Congcong’s film Send Me to the Clouds to reveal the relationship between female consciousness and ideologies of power in the context of the current Chinese era. We examine the narrative strategies, imagery symbols and power ideologies in the film through Foucault’s body theory and feminist film theory. Send Me to the Clouds takes the redemption of life as its narrative strategy and incorporates elements of humor and absurdity. The film changes the initiator of sexual pleasure to the female protagonist, and the male becomes a passive character who is a cheater, a coward which is an attempt to break the “stereotype” of female passivity in the traditional Chinese cultural settings, to create an important role for female consciousness and ideology of power in this life-saving film. However, it is important to critically examine the limitations and subjectivity of the film, especially whether it subverts the traditional mainstream ideology in its artistic expression of “female consciousness”. This study provides insights into Chinese feminist film narratives and further discusses the significance and role of Chinese female consciousness in the global feminist film discourse.
Textual Paradigm: Reading, Analyzing, and Positioning the Indian Banknotes Issued Post-Independence as Texts
Authors:   Department of English and Foreign Languages, Bharathiar University, Tamilnadu, T R Cibi , Nagaraj P.
Published: November 2024

Postmodern liberty has been a luxury to the creators to some extent. With regards to text and its functions, the viewpoint of considering everything as a text bloomed out of Derrida’s mind in his Of Grammatology (1967). Just as postmodern literature challenges linear narratives and fixed meanings, through the analysis of Indian banknotes as textual artifacts, the interrogation of the semiotic dimensions of banknotes, and how they function as sites of ideological contestation, memory-making, and cultural representation being a text is possible. The textual analysis is performed by applying the picture theory of W.J.T. Mitchell to deconstruct the elements embedded, which in turn access the knowledge of the text’s world and how it could be part of the same. The idea of considering Indian banknotes as texts is a result of the advancements that have been happening in the printing industry. Due to such kind of never-ending upgradation, the conventional ideas of authorship, textuality, and interpretation are challenged and given a new dimension by considering Indian banknotes as subject matter. Further, the present study delineates the culture and history of the Nation as represented in the select texts.
Manejo das plantas daninhas no milho irrigado por meio da integração capinas e consorciação com gliricídia
Authors:   , Tavella Leonardo Barreto
Published: November 2024

O objetivo do trabalho foi verificar os efeitos da combinação de capinas e consorciação com a gliricídia (30 sementes viáveis m-2 semeadas a lanço) no controle de plantas daninhas e nos rendimentos do milho. Utilizou-se o delineamento de blocos completos casualizados com quatro repetições em parcelas subdivididas. Os híbridos (AG 1051 e BR 205) foram cultivados nas parcelas, e nas subparcelas foram aplicados os tratamentos: duas capinas (20 e 40 dias após a semeadura do milho, DASM); realização de uma capina aos 20 DASM + semeadura da gliricídia após a capina; semeadura da gliricídia por ocasião da semeadura do milho + realização de capina aos 40 DASM; semeadura da gliricídia por ocasião da semeadura do milho; sem capinas.Não houve diferenças entre híbridos quanto aos rendimentos de minimilho, espigas verdes e grãos.Os maiores rendimentos foram obtidos com o tratamento de duas capinas, mas a realização de uma capina aos 20 DASM + semeadura da gliricídia após a capina, não diferiu das duas capinas quanto aos rendimentos desses três produtos. A semeadura da gliricídia por ocasião da semeadura do milho + realização de capina aos 40 DASM não diferiu das duas capinas quanto ao rendimento de espigas verdes. A semeadura da gliricídia por ocasião da semeadura do milho propiciou médias superiores ao tratamento sem capina em algumas características do crescimento e dos rendimentos do milho. Portanto, a gliricídia controla parcialmente as plantas daninhas e a combinação dela com capinas apresenta vantagens

Published: November 2024

A sociedade moderna busca, cada vez mais, o consumo de alimentos que possam tratar e prevenir doenças, bem como aumentar a longevidade. Entre estes, destacam-se os alimentos funcionais, incluindo bebidas, ricos em compostos antioxidantes com ação benéfica à saúde já comprovada, como uvas e os seus derivados. Em vista disto, um estudo foi conduzido com o objetivo de identificar variedades de uvas destinadas ao consumo in natura e ao processamento que, além de atender aos requerimentos de qualidade comercial, apresentem altos teores de compostos com propriedades funcionais. O estudo foi conduzido na Embrapa Semiárido, utilizando cachos colhidos de plantas do Banco Ativo de Germoplasma de Videira, no Campo Experimental de Mandacaru, em Juazeiro-BA. Foram avaliadas, nos ciclos de produção dos primeiro e segundo semestres de 2011, 31 variedades de videira: A dona, Barbera, Benitaka, Blue Lake, Brasil, Cardinal, Christmas Rose, Estevão Marinho, Frankenthal, Gamay, Grenache, Isabel, Isabel Precoce, Isaura, Liberty, Máximo, Moscato Caillaba, Moscato de Hamburgo, Moscato Noir, Patrícia, Piratininga, Royalty, Saturn, Scarlet, Syrah 1 (clone procedente da França), Syrah 2 (clone procedente do Rio Grande do Sul), Tampa, Tannat, Tibouren, Traviú e Vênus. As variáveis analisadas nas bagas foram: cor da casca, resistência à força de compressão; sólidos solúveis (SS), acidez titulável (AT), relação SS/AT, taninos (diméricos, oligoméricos e poliméricos), polifenóis extraíveis totais (PET), antocianinas totais, flavonoides amarelos, taninos condensados, e atividade antioxidante pelos métodos DPPH e ABTS. Foi utilizada a distância generalizada de Mahalanobis para quantificar a divergência genética entre as variedades. Como estratégias de agrupamento, foram empregados UPGMA e análise de variáveis canônicas. A análise de agrupamento resultou na formação de cinco grupos de variedades. As variedades Cardinal e Royalty apresentaram grande diversidade genética entre si, podendo, portanto, serem inseridas em programas de melhoramento, a fim de explorar a variabilidade do Banco Ativo de Germoplasma da Embrapa Semiárido. As variedades Royalty e Máximo, indicadas para processamento, caracterizaram-se por altos teores de taninos (diméricos, oligoméricos e poliméricos), PET, antocianinas totais, flavonoides amarelos e atividade antioxidante total. Entre as variedades com diferentes aptidões, Tampa destacou-se com relação aos teores de antocianinas totais e flavonoides amarelos. As variáveis PET e taninos condensados apresentaram estreita correlação com a atividade antioxidante das uvas. Os resultados gerados constituem base para a formação de um banco de caracteres voltado para compostos bioativos em videira

Authors: Zhu Hengyue , Yang Xuejia , Yuan Ziwei , Hu Zujian , Guo Yangyang , Bai Yongheng , Zhou Jingzong
Published: November 2024

Background:

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common renal condition associated
with various factors, including pre-renal, post-renal, and renal causes, with ischemia-
reperfusion being a frequent contributor leading to tubular injury. Early identification
of AKI is crucial but remains challenging.

Methods:

This study explored the molecular signature of AKI using gene microarray data
from the GEO dataset, focusing on identifying ferroptosis-related features through
three machine-learning algorithms. We also validated potential biomarkers through a hypoxia/
reoxygenation model.

Results:

ROC curves, expression differences, and associations with immune cells were
analyzed for the three markers to confirm their potential as AKI biomarkers, each demonstrating
strong diagnostic ability. Combining these markers proved more effective.

Conclusion:

The combination of AEBP2, MDM2, and NR4A1 as diagnostic biomarkers
for AKI not only enhances detection capability but also holds promise as a significant
tool in clinical practice, providing patients with diagnostic and therapeutic guidance.

Published: November 2024

Background and Aims: Burmannia tenella is a holo-mycoheterotrophic species widely distributed in the Amazon Biome. The objectives of this study are to report the presence of this species in Costa Rica, to present an overview of its geographic distribution, and to provide a key to the species of Burmannia in Mesoamerica.Methods: We review the distribution of Burmannia tenella based on literature, herbarium specimens and unequivocal photographic records, as well as recent collections from Costa Rica.Key results: Burmannia tenella is reported as new for Costa Rica, the first reported occurrence of this species west of the Andes. We review its geographic distribution and provide an updated key to the five known species of Burmannia in Mesoamerica. Apparent inconsistencies with the numbering of some of Richard Spruce’s herbarium collections (including the type of B. tenella) are briefly discussed.Conclusions: Given that all South American records of Burmannia tenella are from localities east of the Andes (the closest of which is 1170 km distant), the occurrence of this species in Central America represents a significant disjunction from its previously known geographical distribution.

Bipolar flaking as a component of a supraregional lithic resource base: A comparative study of cores from the Pampean and Northcentral Patagonian Atlantic coasts (Argentina)
Authors: Banegas Anahí , Bonomo Mariano , Gómez Otero Julieta
Published: November 2024

Several authors argue that bipolar technology is an expeditious and versatile strategy, efficient for the reduction of small nodules. However, few studies analyze the use of bipolar reduction in relation to the lithic environmental supply. At the Pampean and Patagonian maritime coast, the technique has been widely recorded and seems to be conspicuous in indigenous populations that occupied coastal areas. With the aim of assessing and comparing the application of bipolar reduction 196 nuclei recovered from sites of diverse chronologies in the Pampean and northcentral Patagonian coasts were analyzed. The use of the bipolar technique was observed in relation to the lithic environmental structure, the size of nodules and their raw material. The results revealed high frequencies of bipolar nuclei at the Pampean coast (87%) and moderate frequencies at the northcentral Patagonian coast (39%). It was determined that the variables that influenced the application of bipolar techniques the most were the small size of the nodules and their rounded shape, generally thick, and without flat surfaces. As for raw material quality, the technique was applied on good to medium quality rocks at the Pampean coast, while in the northcentral coast it was exclusively applied on pebbles and cobbles of superior qualities (very good to excellent). The differences observed are most likely linked with technological choices made by different coastal populations to make the best use of widely available local rocks.

RELATIONS BETWEEN THE CAUSES OF OBESITY, CONTACT AND ATTITUDES OF FEMALE CADET VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS TOWARDS OBESE PEOPLE
Authors: Ivanović Miroljub Ž.
Published: November 2024

The aim of this transversal research was twofold: to check the metric characteristics of the measuring instruments, and to examine the interactions of the model of The Big Five personality traits – Big Five (as predictor) and dimensions of motivation (as criterion) on a sample of junior volleyball players. The pertinent sample included (N = 218) volleyball players of average age (M = 18.05, SD = 1.52). The following measuring instruments were used: Big Five Inventory (BFI), Sport Attitudes Inventory (SAI), and Task and ego orientation in Sport Questionnaire (TEOSQ). Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient has shown that the values of internal consistency of the measuring instruments are satisfactory, which means that they are suitable to be used in the context of Serbian sports. Two canonical functions statistically significant on the level (p ≤ 0.03) were extracted using the canonical correlation analysis. The first pair of the isolated canonical factors, with 37% of the explained variance, is determined by personality traits: conscientiousness, extraversion, and openness, as well as by the dimensions of motivation: the motive for achieving power, the motive for achieving success, and task orientation. The second pair of the isolated canonical factors in the group of personality traits is defined by the variables: neuroticism, agreeableness, and conscientiousness (on the negative end), the motive for avoiding failure, and goal orientation (on the positive end). That isolated canonical latent variable indicates that young athletes are prone to avoidance as a model of behavior. The empirical findings of this research can be used in player selection and managing sports training and competition of junior volleyball players. The obtained canonical structures can contribute to a better understanding of correlations between latent variables in adolescent volleyball population in Serbia, which have not been sufficiently examined nor scientifically explained.

Authors: Amelia Mona
Published: November 2024

Our research aims to reveal factors that are considered effective in influencing intentions to use mobile banking services, especially those owned and managed by Bank Nagari Padang Main Branch. In our research, the population used was all customers who saved at Bank Nagari Main Branch in Padang, while the samples were 100 customers who had saved through Bank Nagari Main Branch for more than a year and were over 17 years old. The data collection stage was carried out by a survey, namely by distributing questionnaires directly to target respondents who met predetermined criteria.

Published: November 2024

Solar panel efficiency is often reduced by dust and debris accumulation, making regular cleaning essential but
challenging. This research presents an automated solar panel cleaning robot controlled via Wi-Fi using a NodeMCU
microcontroller. Equipped with DC motors for movement and sweeping, and a water pump system, the robot ensures thorough
cleaning. Testing showed a 15-20% increase in solar panel energy output post-cleaning. The system demonstrated reliable
operation and responsive remote control via a web interface. This solution is suitable for various applications, including
residential rooftops, commercial solar farms, and remote off-grid systems, enhancing solar maintenance efficiency, and
reducing costs.

Authors: Pandey Neha
Published: November 2024

This study explores the socio-economic profile, motivations, and constraints faced by homestay owners in the Nainital
district of Uttarakhand, India, a region known for its scenic beauty and tourism potential. Over the past few years, homestays
have become a popular accommodation option, offering tourists a more authentic and personalized experience compared to
traditional hotels. Using a descriptive research design, the study surveyed 120 homestay owners across the Ramnagar and
Bhimtal blocks of Nainital in 2023-24. Key findings reveal that homestay owners in Nainital are primarily middle-aged, male,
and married, with diverse educational backgrounds. Economic opportunity, cultural preservation, and community building are
the main motivations for starting homestays, while challenges include a lack of infrastructure, seasonal demand fluctuations,
and limited support from tourism authorities. The study highlights the need for targeted interventions in training, marketing, and
financial access to support the sustainability and growth of homestay businesses. It also underscores the importance of

Published: November 2024

El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar las propiedades psicométricas y la invarianza factorial de la Escala de Actitudes hacia el Cambio Climático (EACC). Diseñada con base en la Teoría de la Acción Planificada, la escala mide tanto las creencias como la intención de conducta hacia el cambio climático. El instrumento original consta de 15 ítems, con un formato de respuesta tipo Likert de cinco opciones. Se aplicó a una muestra no probabilística de 800 participantes chilenos. Después de su traducción y revisión, la escala mostró una adecuada validez de contenido. Un Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio (AFC) validó la idoneidad del instrumento, ajustado a 13 ítems, manteniendo su estructura original de dos factores. El análisis de invarianza factorial confirmó que la estructura bidimensional no se ve afectada por el género. Se encontraron evidencias de validez convergente y discriminante, así como una confiabilidad adecuada en ambas dimensiones. En conclusión, se respalda el uso de la versión en español de la CCAS en comunidades hispanohablantes, lo que fortalece la investigación sobre el cambio climático en la región desde una perspectiva psicosocial.

Authors: Farinuddin Harry
Published: November 2024

Penelitian ini mengkaji peliputan surat kabar Berita Yudha mengenai Gerakan 30 September (G30S) dan perannya dalam melawan propaganda komunis di Indonesia. Berita Yudha, surat kabar yang berafiliasi dengan Tentara Nasional Indonesia Angkatan Darat (TNI-AD), berperan sebagai penghubung antara TNI-AD dan masyarakat, menumbuhkan ketahanan terhadap ideologi komunis. Pendirian surat kabar ini sebagai saingan media komunis berawal dari keterlibatan mantan karyawan Berita Indonesia, anggota aliansi Badan Pendukung Sukarnoisme (BPS), dalam pendiriannya. Karena sikap anti-komunisnya, Berita Indonesia dibubarkan, dan media-media yang berafiliasi dengannya dibredel. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian sejarah, penelitian ini mencakup empat tahap: heuristik, kritik sumber, interpretasi, dan historiografi. Sumber-sumber primer yang digunakan adalah surat kabar Berita Yudha dan Harian Rakjat, dilengkapi dengan buku-buku, majalah, dan artikel jurnal penelitian online dan offline. Penelitian ini mengungkap efektivitas Berita Yudha dalam melawan propaganda komunis, dengan memanfaatkan posisinya yang unik sebagai satu-satunya surat kabar yang diizinkan terbit setelah peristiwa G30S dan pemberitaan propaganda Harian Rakjat. Pelaporan faktual Berita Yudha tentang peristiwa G30S melawan narasi menyimpang Harian Rakjat, mengungkap peran PKI sebagai dalang peristiwa tersebut. kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada pengungkapan pemanfaatan strategis Berita Yudha atas posisinya yang istimewa sebagai salah satu dari dua surat kabar yang diizinkan untuk melaporkan peristiwa G30S secara faktual, mengungkap keterlibatan PKI. Penelitian ini menyoroti sikap anti-komunis BPS dan peran media yang berafiliasi dengan TNI-AD dalam menyikapi G30S.

A PROPOSTA EDUCACIONAL DO BRIGADEIRO EDUARDO GOMES COMO CANDIDATO À PRESIDÊNCIA DA REPÚBLICA PELA UDN, EM 1945
Authors: Stringuetti Lucas Mateus Vieira de Godoy
Published: November 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar como o brigadeiro Eduardo Gomes (1896-1981) tratou a temática da educação no Brasil, por meio de seus discursos sobre o assunto, pronunciados no município de Salvador, em 1945, ano em que foi candidato à Presidência da República pelo partido da União Democrática Nacional (UDN). O contexto histórico de 1945 é muito importante, uma vez que tivemos novamente eleições políticas no Brasil, depois de quinze anos de governo Vargas. Utilizamos como fonte para nossa análise a obra Campanha de Libertação de autoria do próprio Eduardo Gomes, publicada em 1946, que contém os discursos políticos do candidato nas eleições de 1945. A análise dos discursos de Eduardo Gomes sobre a educação nos ajuda a entender o momento político, social e econômico que o país vivia naquele ano, além de trazer reflexões sobre as ideias revolucionárias para a temática em questão defendidas por ele.
A ESPERANÇA ENQUANTO CATALISADORA DA AÇÃO POLÍTICA
Authors: Rocha de Carvalho Felipe
Published: November 2024

Esta resenha tem por objetivo discutir os principais temas abordados por Rosana Pinheiro-Machado em sua última obra, “Amanhã vai ser maior”, bem como contextualizá-la em relação a outros trabalhos contemporâneos. Tendo sido escrito no ápice da ascensão do governo de extrema direita no Brasil, o texto analisa fenômenos sociais e políticos ocorridos na sociedade brasileira entre 2013 e 2018 – como as Jornadas de Junho, os “rolezinhos” e a paralisação dos caminhoneiros – por meio de uma visão abrangente e aprofundada, que busca desmistificar a ideia de movimentos sociais enquanto entidades unidimensionais de pensamento e ação. Nesse sentido, o livro, dividido em três partes principais, consiste em uma importante contribuição para a compreensão da conjuntura atual no Brasil, além de proporcionar reflexões necessárias para a reorganização e mobilização política do campo progressista. Ao mesclar elementos de sua pesquisa de campo com análises de acontecimentos mais recentes, a autora realiza um diálogo necessário entre as diferentes áreas das Ciências Sociais, utilizando o conceito de “esperança” enquanto uma força catalisadora da ação política.

Authors: Birk de Mello Bárbara , Kuhn Junior Norberto , Fagundes Nunes Margarete
Published: November 2024

Tem-se como tema do estudo as infâncias e juventudes do município de Novo Hamburgo (RS), focando na questão do patrimônio do trabalho na cidade e políticas públicas para as crianças e jovens. A escolha pelo município deve-se, dentre outros, ao fato de este ser um dos pioneiros na criação dos conselhos municipais para atendimento da criança e do jovem no Rio Grande do Sul, conforme estipulado pelo Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente, em 1990. A questão central aqui levantada é em que medida o patrimônio do trabalho incidiu na vida das crianças e jovens de Novo Hamburgo na década de 1990? Visando responder à questão, são objetivos desta investigação: 1) compreender como se deu a construção do patrimônio do trabalho em Novo Hamburgo; e 2) compreender o patrimônio das políticas públicas infanto-juvenis apontando repercussões acerca do trabalho de crianças e jovens no município, em especial no setor coureiro-calçadista, por ocasião da implantação do Conselho Tutelar (CT) e do Conselho Municipal dos Direitos da Criança e do Adolescente (CMDCA), na década de 1990. O referencial teórico parte de uma revisão da literatura especializada e é composto por estudos sobre patrimônio, trabalho, políticas públicas para crianças e jovens, família, dentre outras temáticas.
