Authors: Jahan Sakila Akter , Isenberg Daniul Thomas , Sazu Mesbaul Haque
Published: August 2023

Recently, huge quantities of organised, unstructured, and semi structured data are being produced by different systems and machines around the world. Such a huge volume of heterogenous data set that typically cannot be managed by traditional system is described as big data. The healthcare sector continues to be confronted by the importance of managing the fundamental information created by numerous sources, known for creating high volumes of heterogeneous information. Different big data analytics programs, as well as strategies, have already been created for managing these substantial quantities of information in the healthcare market. In this particular paper, we go over the effect of big data on healthcare, as well as different methods offered in the Hadoop ecosystem for managing it. We also examine the conceptual structure of big data analytics for healthcare, which involves the information collecting historical past of various limbs, the genome database, electronic health records, text/imagery, and then the medical conclusions support program.
HETEROGENEOUS IMPACTS OF COVID-19 ON YOUTH EMPLOYMENT: A STUDY FOR BRAZILIAN REGIONS
Authors: Camargo Vania , Tessmann Mathias Schneid
Published: August 2023

This paper seeks to identify differences in unemployment among Brazilian youth during the Covid-19 pandemic using the least squares method and PNAD data. Among the results obtained, it is observed that the loss of occupation of youth decreases with income, being significant for the three lower per capita income groups, up to 2 minimum wages. This is true both for the general sample and for the subgroups considered, divided by gender and by large regions of the country. Another relevant fact is that women suffered a greater impact than men, characterised by an additional loss of 7 percentage points in occupation. These results show the importance of inclusion programs in the labour market to focus on socially vulnerable populations, giving greater support to the youth people from low-income families and considering the gender issues.
Angling for Hearts: Manipulative Royal Weeping in the Henriad
Authors: Harrington Gary
Published: August 2023

In that apparently touching rapprochement scene (3.2) between King Henry IV and Hal in 1 Henry IV, Henry cries as he levels accusations of betrayal against his estranged son. However, Shakespeare indirectly calls into question the authenticity of emotion in Henry’s weeping. For example, just previously when Falstaff plays the role of King Henry in the play within the play, he calls for wine to make his eyes red so that it will appear as though he has been crying. Moreover, shortly after the actual reconciliation scene, Hotspur remarks that upon Henry’s return from banishment, Henry ‘Crie[d] out upon abuses, seem[ed] to weep over his country’s wrongs; and by this face, this seeming brow of justice did he win/ The hearts of all that he did angle for’ (4.3.83-86). Hotspur clearly feels that Henry’s tears in this instance were a ploy to galvanize the support of others whom he hopes to control. Thus, Henry’s tears in the rapprochement scene are bracketed before and after by references to Henry’s falsifying his emotions. Likewise, there are many subtle indicators in 2 Henry IV that Hal generates crocodile tears in 4.5 in order to mollify his father, who has awoken to discover that Hal has literally taken possession of the crown. And it is significant that in both reconciliation scenes the two royals discuss means of successfully manipulating public and political opinion through appearances and subterfuge. Hal’s use of references to tears as a political ploy continues into Henry V in his confrontation of the conspirators and before Agincourt.

Fichte Felsefesinde Akıl Kavramı ve Alman İdealizmi’ne Etkileri
Authors: TOPAKKAYA Arslan , AYDIN Hatice
Published: August 2023

Fichte felsefesinde akıl kavramını incelemek, Fichte’nin idealist bir dizge ile ilerlediği felsefi yolcuğuna çıkmamızı gerektirir. Çünkü bu yolculukta akıl kavramına yüklenen anlam ile bağlantılı olarak Fichte için akıl kavramına biçilen rolde netlik kazanacaktır. Öyleki felsefe tarihi boyunca, felsefenin ilk ilkesinin ne olacağına cevap ararken zihinde yer alan tasarımdan hareketle açıklama girişimi, idealizmin tarihsel gelişiminde geri dönüşü zorunlu kılmaktadır. Bu geriye dönüşün sonunda karşımıza çıkan isim Kant olacaktır. Fichte felsefesinde akıl kavramını anlayabilmek için Kant felsefesini iyi bilmek gerekir. Çünkü Fichte Kant’ın yarım bıraktığı yerden felsefesini başlatmaktadır. Fichte “Bilim Öğretisi” eseriyle akıl kavramını açıklamaktadır. “Bilim Öğretisi”nde “Ben” felsefesinden bahseder. Fichte için Ben’nin hareketleri aklın hareketleridir. İdealizmi özneye bağlayan Fichte aklı da bu şekilde değerlendirip, aklı sürecin sonunda mutlak akıl olarak ele alır. Bu sebeple Fichte için akıl kavramı zekâdan farklı olarak algıma gücünün üstünde genel ve soyut bir içeriğe sahiptir. Fichte’nin bu düşüncelerini Alman İdealizminin diğer temsilcileri olan Schelling ve Hegel’den bağımsız düşünemeyiz. Çünkü Fichte akıl hakkındaki düşünceleriyle hem Schelling hem de Hegel üzerinde etkiye sebep olmuştur. Bu nedenle Alman idealistleri birbirlerinin düşünceleri ile bağlantılı olarak aklın açılımını bizlere sunarlar.

Published: August 2023

An important part of reproduction management programmes on dairy farms is the detection of infertile cows and early re-insemination to achieve higher rates of pregnancy. The purpose of the study was to investigate the features of gonadal morphogenesis in high-yielding cows in the conditions of industrial keeping technology on day 0 of the sexual cycle in vivo in real time. Structural, comparative, and statistical methods were used, as well as biotechnical methods of palpation cyclic examination of ovaries with differential diagnosis of morphophysiological or pathomorphological indicators. The results of diagnostics of the ovaries of dairy cows (n=128) on day 0 of the induced cycle detected by step activity sensors showed a significant structural polymorphism of these organs of the reproductive system. It was found: from 66.67% to 30.77% of cows with a physiological course of the follicular phase of the cycle, i.e., on day 0, a preovulatory follicle or the beginning of ovulation on the ovaries (subject to a decrease in the number of cows suitable for insemination with increasing lactation duration from 50-75 days to 211-306 days (P<0.001). Hypogonadism was diagnosed in 19.45% of cows, and in 61.11% – ovarian dysfunctions with the manifestation of cystic follicular degeneration; 19.44% of cows at the time of the study had irreversible chronic adhesive processes of the genital tract tissues in the “ovary+oviduct” area (ovophoritis and ovosalpingitis in latent form), which allowed for pregnancy to occur, with a pronounced tendency to increase this gonadopathy with an increase in lactation (respectively: 50-75 days – 0.00%; 76-160 days – 22.22%; 161-210 days – 22.22%; 211 and more – 33.33%; p<0.05). The trend of influence of subclinical disorders in the metabolism of cows of the experimental herd on the indicators of the biochemical composition of blood serum and the symptom of ovarian dysfunctions was investigated. Thus, the in vivo morphological and pathological profile of the ovaries of high-yielding cows on day 0 of the sexual cycle was established, which allowed optimising the artificial insemination regime and reduce economically nonprofitless sperm consumption. The results can be used in the practical work of veterinary medicine doctors, researchers, and applicants for higher education in veterinary and biological science

Introduction: Monkeypox is a rare, viral and emerging disease, although in recent months it has become a growing concern for health professionals and public health authorities around the world. The disease is caused by an orthopoxvirus of the same genus as the human smallpox virus and can cause serious complications in both humans and animals. Objective: To show, through the scientific literature, the complications of monkeypox. Methodology: This is an integrative literature review research, carried out between the months of May and July 2023, through a survey of data in the scientific bases of health: LILACS and SCIELO. Results and Discussion: Through the analysis of the selected studies, the main information for the discussion of this study was evaluated. Scientific evidence has shown that monkeypox complications can vary according to the severity of the patient and can affect different systems of the human body. The scientific literature has pointed out that the main complications of monkeypox include skin infections and skin abscesses. In addition, infection with the virus can provoke the development of cardiac complications, such as myocarditis and heart failure. It can cause abnormal heart rhythms and other cardiovascular problems. Monkeypox develops more severely in people with weakened immune systems because the body has difficulty controlling viral replication. In such cases, the infection can spread quickly and affect various organs and systems in the body. Conclusion: Complications of monkeypox pose significant public health and safety challenges. Although the disease is less lethal than smallpox in humans, it can cause serious complications in infected patients, with localized cutaneous effects such as pustule formation and secondary infections, as well as systemic effects affecting vital organs and body systems.

Published: August 2023

Facial aging is a gradual process that involves a complex interaction of several factors, including loss of subcutaneous volume, deep bone resorption and tissue laxity. To promote rejuvenation, it is extremely important to restructure the multiple layers of the face, initially by inducing collagen synthesis and tissue contraction. Thus, the combination of Poly-L-lactic Acid and Microfocused Ultrasound has proven to be increasingly effective for treating flaccidity and as a collagen biostimulating technique. This study carried out a stereophotogrammetric analysis with the 3D Vectra H2 software of a clinical case of association of Microfocused Ultrasound (Classys) with Poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra - Galderma) at the beginning of the treatment and 60 days later.

An exploration into the lifeworld of patients with cluster headache in South Africa
Authors:   , Tschirpig Tanya
Published: August 2023

Cluster headache is an excruciatingly painful condition that greatly affects the lived experience of those who suffer from it. There is a general paucity of information on the condition, and with little literature about headaches in the African continent; this is a novel investigation into the experience of cluster headaches within the South African context using an explorative and qualitative approach. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe and reflect on the lifeworld of individuals’ with cluster headaches within a South African context. Methodology: the study was a qualitative study exploring the lifeworld and experiences of eight South Africans with cluster headache. Data were collected using in-depth semi-structured interviews. Transcriptions were systematically reviewed to find common themes and subthemes using appropriate qualitative methodology. Results: The participants were equally distributed with regard to gender; there were four male and four female participants within an age range of 20 to 62 years. Of the eight participants, six were white, one Indian and one black. All but one patient had the episodic sub-type. Only one participant utilised the public healthcare system. Five main themes emerged: a) the inexplicable intensity of the pain, b) the reality of a disease-experience outside of head pain c) anxiety as a complexly recurring reaction, d) the perceptions of healthcare sought-out, and e) the value of a diagnostic label. Conclusion: The interpretation of results revealed that individuals with cluster headache perceived to have a massive impact on most aspects of their life, with emotional and psychological ramifications being significant. These experiences were exacerbated by misdiagnosis and mismanagement, as well as the perception of the impacts of a variety of stigmas. Cluster headache individuals in this cohort expressed a desperate need for empathetic care alongside more effective and accessible treatments and desire for more awareness of the condition within the medical field.
Is social media spawning digital narcissism? : a case study of KwaZulu-Natal digital millennials
Authors:   , Peters Waheeda
Published: August 2023

In 2021, 60.71% of South Africans accessed the Internet, most of them doing so via mobile devices, and a growth to 67.8% is projected for 2026. Given KwaZulu-Natal’s place in South Africa’s socio-political and socioeconomic life, and considering the province’s high population of young Internet-savvy people, it becomes pertinent to understand how the Internet, specifically social media usage, impacts on their propensity to slide, wittingly or unwittingly, into digital narcissism. The aim of the study was to explore social media usage amongst millennials of the Durban University of Technology, Durban, KwaZulu-Natal Province, to determine the potential impact of social media usage on digital narcissism. For this qualitative study, the researcher adopted the behaviourist research paradigm, which is interpretive. An inductive research approach was followed, and two strategies were employed: case study and survey. The target population comprised four groups: (i) millennials of all races 18–34 years of age in the KwaZulu-Natal Province; (ii) parents of millennials; (iii) social media experts; and (iv) psychology experts using social media tools. Primary data were collected through interviews and secondary data were gathered from existing literature. The data were analysed using thematic analysis. Through the lenses of each group of participants, five main themes were derived: (i) the impact of digital technology on millennials; (ii) social media and Internet usage; (iii) the impact of social media on millennials; (iv) the impact of social influencers on their followers; and (v) the impact of Covid-19 on social media. Each of these five themes was sub-divided into sub themes derived from the data analysis. Through colour coding and key concepts/elements derived from findings in the literature review and from the themes/sub-themes that emerged during the data analysis of this study, a Framework for Millennials and Parents on Social Media Usage and Possible Digital Narcissism Detection is proposed to provide visual support to millennials and parents of millennials that enables them to detect potential social media usage problems and then self correct.

Published: August 2023

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is frequently used in centrifugal pump design. The characteristics of the flow fields around turbomachinery can be simulated using tools for numerical computational fluid dynamics in three dimensions. Numerical simulation, which also provides significant information for the hydraulic design of the centrifugal pump, can be used to visualize the internal flow condition of a centrifugal pump. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of blade number on the hydraulic performance curve using a commercial instrument. ANSYS 91.2. code commercial.The geometric model of the pump was built using CF turbo, and the flow domain was meshed using the commercial programme ICEM. The results demonstrated that an increase in the number of blades significantly improved the hydraulic performance of the centrifugal pump’s head. The findings also revealed that the area of the low-pressure zone at the blade’s input suction grew and that the static pressure distribution homogeneity in the diffusion section was significantly better than that in the spiral section. The design flow of 35 m3 per hour is where the best efficiency point (BEP) is located. At Z = 6 and Z = 7, the head values were 51.58 m and 53.13 m, respectively, while the efficiency values were 50.32% and 53.35%. The comparison of the H-Q curve for estimated head discharge indicates that all impeller efficiency curves share the same fundamental tendency.
μ-Λ relationships for convective and stratiform rainfall in the Netherlands
Authors: Gatidis Christos , Schleiss Marc , Unal Christine
Published: August 2023

Abstract. In this study, we take a closer look at the important issue of μ-Λ relationships in raindrop size distributions (DSD) by conducting a systematic analysis of twenty months of rainfall data in the Netherlands. A new power-law model for representing μ-Λ relationships based on double normalization framework is proposed and used to derive separate μ-Λ relationships for stratiform and convective rain events. The sensitivity of the obtained relationships to measurement uncertainty is studied by applying two different quality control filters based on the mass-weighted mean drop diameter (Dm) and liquid water content (LWC). Our results show that there are significant differences in μ-Λ relationships between convective and stratiform rainfall types. However, the retrieved relationships appear to be quite robust to measurement noise and there is a good agreement with other reference relations for similar climatological conditions.
Multiscale assessment of North American terrestrial carbon balance

Published: August 2023

Abstract. Comparisons of carbon uptake estimates from bottom-up terrestrial biosphere models (TBMs) to top-down atmospheric inversions help assess how well we understand carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange between the atmosphere and terrestrial biosphere. Previous comparisons have shown varying levels of agreement between bottom-up and top-down approaches, but they have almost exclusively focused on large, aggregated scales, providing limited insights into reasons for the mismatches. Here we explore how consistency, defined as the spread in net ecosystem exchange (NEE) estimates within an ensemble of TBMs or inversions, varies with spatial scale. We also evaluate how well consistency informs accuracy in overall NEE estimates by filtering models based on their agreement with the variability, magnitude, and seasonality in observed atmospheric CO2 drawdowns or enhancements. We find that TBMs produce more consistent estimates of NEE for most regions and at most scales compared to inversions. Filtering models using atmospheric CO2 metrics causes ensemble spread to decrease substantially for TBMs, but not for inversions. This suggests that ensemble spread is likely not a reliable measure of the uncertainty associated with the North American carbon balance. Promisingly, applying atmospheric CO2 metrics leads to a set of models with converging flux estimates across TBMs and inversions. Overall, we show that multiscale assessment of the agreement between bottom-up and top-down NEE estimates, aided by regional-scale observational constraints, illuminates a promising path towards identifying fine-scale sources of uncertainty and improving both ensemble consistency and accuracy. These findings help refine our understanding of biospheric carbon balance, particularly at scales relevant for informing regional carbon-climate feedbacks.
A landslide runout model for sediment transport, landscape evolution and hazard assessment applications
Authors: Keck Jeffrey , Istanbulluoglu Erkan , Campforts Benjamin , Tucker Gregory , Horner-Devine Alexander
Published: August 2023

Abstract. We developed a new rule-based, cellular-automaton algorithm for predicting the hazard extent, sediment transport and topographic change associated with the runout of a landslide. This algorithm, which we call MassWastingRunout (MWR), is coded in Python and implemented as a component for the package Landlab. Given the location and geometry of an initial landslide body (i.e., landslide polygon), MWR models the downslope progression of the runout process and evolves the underlying terrain. Runout behavior is controlled by mass continuity, topography, and rules for erosion and deposition, which can be informed from field observations. MWR includes a calibration utility that uses a Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm to sample model parameter space and tune the model to match observed patterns of landslide runout extent, deposition and erosion. Output from the calibration utility informs probabilistic implementation of MWR. Here we demonstrate calibrated model performance relative to a range of observed runout phenomena and terrain, including debris flows in channelized, low-energy-dissipation terrains and debris avalanches on open-slope, moderate, to high-energy-dissipation terrains. We test model ability to predict runout probability at a case study site using parameters that were determined through calibration to a different site. Finally, we show how to use a calibrated MWR model to determine runout-probability from an expert-defined, potentially unstable slope and a landslide hazard map.

Abstract. The International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 396 to the mid-Norwegian margin recovered >1300 m of pristinely preserved, volcanic ash-rich sediments deposited during the late Paleocene and early Eocene, from close to the centre of the North Atlantic Igneous Province (NAIP). Remarkably, many of these cores contain glendonites, pseudomorphs after the purported cold-water mineral ikaite, from sediments dated to the late Paleocene, Paleocene – Eocene boundary and early Eocene. These time intervals span some of the hottest climates of the Cenozoic, including the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM). Global deep ocean temperatures are not thought to have dropped below 10 °C at any point during this time, making the occurrence of supposedly cold-water (near-freezing temperature) glendonite pseudomorphs seemingly paradoxical. This study presents a detailed sedimentological, geochemical, and microscopic study of the Exp. 396 glendonites, and presents an updated model for the ikaite-to-calcite transformation for these glendonites. Specifically, we show that early diagenesis of basaltic ashes of the NAIP appear to have chemically promoted ikaite growth in the sediments in this region. Together with existing knowledge of late Paleocene and early Eocene glendonites from Svalbard to the north, and early Eocene glendonites from Denmark to the south, these new glendonite finds possibly imply episodic, short-duration, and likely localised cooling in the Nordic Seas region, which may have been directly or indirectly linked to the emplacement of the NAIP.
Wetting and drying trends in the Land-Atmosphere Reservoir of large basins around the world
Authors: Salazar Juan F. , Molina Rubén D. , Zuluaga Jorge I. , Gomez-Velez Jesus D.
Published: August 2023

Abstract. Global change is altering hydrologic regimes worldwide, including large basins that play a central role in the sustainability of human societies and ecosystems. The basin water budget is a fundamental framework for understanding these basins' sensitivity and future dynamics under changing forcings. In this budget, studies often treat atmospheric processes as external to the basin and assume that atmosphere-related water storage changes are negligible in the long term. These assumptions are potentially misleading in large basins with strong land-atmosphere feedbacks, including terrestrial moisture recycling, which is critical for global water distribution. Here we introduce the Land-Atmosphere Reservoir (LAR) concept to include atmospheric processes as a critical component of the basin water budget and use it to study long-term changes in the water storage of some of the world's largest basins. Our results show significant LAR water storage trends over the last four decades, with a marked latitudinal contrast: while tropical basins have been accumulating water, temperate basins have been drying. If continued, these trends will disrupt the discharge regime and compromise the sustainability of these basins with widespread impacts.

Condicionantes do tempo de commuting dos centros urbanos brasileiros: uma análise empírica
Authors: Scherb Rafael , da Mota Silveira Neto Raul
Published: August 2023

Brazil presents a high commuting time from home to work by world standards. This paper provides evidences regarding the conditioning factors of commuting time and its analysis is based on the different results that each explanatory variable had in the econometric regression. Based on data from IBGE Census in 2010, this paper used a new division of the national territory to calculate the average time of commuting of each immediate region of urban articulation and identify the reasons why these disparities were verified between regions. The results indicate a strong influence of both socioeconomic characteristics of the region, as well as income inequality – measured by the gini index – and density, and the use of urban space, such as the percentage of people who pay rent, and even demographic characteristics, such as the percentage of women in each region. On this way, it is possible to discuss the advisory role of the courts of accounts in the elaboration of public policy aimed at better urban mobility.

Authors: ÖZER Nezaket Ezgi , ÖZDEN YÜCE Meltem , BOYACIOĞLU Hayal , KARACA Betül , GÜNERİ Pelin
Published: August 2023

PURPOSE: This study aims to determine the incidence of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injury following the extraction of the lower third molars (LTMs) and to identify the demographic, radiographic, and intra-operative risk factors associated with this complication.
MATERIALS & METHODS: Fifty LTMs from 47 patients were included in this prospective clinical study. Demographic data and intra-operative parameters including operation time, bone removal and duration, excessive bleeding and IAN exposure were recorded. Bone retention, anatomical position of LTMs (Pell&Gregory and Winter classification) and 5 radiographic criteria proposed by Rood and Shehab were evaluated on panoramic images, whereas the distance between roots and the inferior alveolar canal (IAC), the cortication status of IAC, and the buccolingual position of IAC were examined on CBCT images. Chi-square test was used to compare the presence of IAN injury with variables. A p-value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
RESULTS: The incidence of temporary IAN injury was 6% among study population. No permanent IAN injury was observed. Excessive bleeding (p=0.007), IAN exposure (p=0.007), the lingual position of IAC (p=0.035) and dumbbell-shaped IAC (p=0.002) were found to be associated with increased risk of temporary IAN injury.
CONCLUSION: Identification of high-risk factors is essential for predicting the risk of IAN injury, and determining the most convenient treatment plan for each case. Further studies with larger study samples are needed both to confirm the risk factors that are proposed in the present study and to identify the other potential ones.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the styloid process length and calcification degrees of renal-transplant patients and compare them with the healthy control group.
Materials & Methods: Panoramic radiographs of 93 patients who had renal transplantation and 93 healthy patients were reviewed retrospectively. Length measurements were made from the apex to the base of the styloid process with a line following the profile. The elongation degrees were classified into five groups as normal (type 0), elongated (Type 1), pseudo-segmented (Type 2), segmented (Type 3) and non-continuous (Type 4). Calcification degrees were classified into four different groups as external (Type A), partial (Type B), nodular (Type C) and complete calcification (Type D).
Results: The study and control groups were matched for age and gender. Styloid process length was found to be significantly higher in male than in female (p<0.001). The extent of elongation and calcification did not differ in terms of gender. The mean styloid process length values were found to be significantly higher in the study group compared to the control group (p<0.001). There was a significant difference between the groups in terms of elongation degrees (p<0.001). For elongation types, while the majority of the study group was type 1, type 0 was observed more in the control group. No difference was observed between the groups in terms of the calcification degrees (p=0.076).
Conclusion: Changes in phosphate balance and parathyroid hormone levels, possibly due to hemodialysis treatment in renal transplant patients, may have led to styloid process elongation.
ÍNDICE DE AUTORAS DAS LITERATURAS AFRICANAS DE LÍNGUA PORTUGUESA (1841-2021)

Published: August 2023

Os estudos das literaturas africanas no Brasil se tornaram mais evidente após a lei de nº 10.639, de 9 de janeiro de 2003, que alterou a Lei no 9.394, de 20 de dezembro de 1996, que estabelecia “as diretrizes e bases da educação nacional”, com uma incisão para incluir currículo “oficial da Rede de Ensino a obrigatoriedade da temática ‘História e Cultura Afro-Brasileira’ na sua componente curricular”. Décadas antes, algumas universidades e professores/as foram pioneiros/as nesses estudos, inclusive uma das autoras da obra que agora se resenha, Francisca Zuleide Duarte de Souza, que em parceria com seu ex-orientanda de doutorado, Izabel Cristina de Oliveira Martins, vem dar voz e destaque a autoria feminina africana em língua portuguesa com a obra intitulada Índice de autoras das literaturas africanas de língua portuguesa.

The focus of this research is digital heritage in emergence. This study deals with how to use digital media tools to collect information about caravanserais (khans) to digitise lost heritage attributes. The study involved researchers compiling information about these caravanserais from references, and digitally mapping   and generating identification tags based on the information in the sources. The researchers generated an online platform for information dissemination, consisting of the projection augmented model of the khans, and participatory web archive platform for crowdsourcing information. The interaction with users through the augmented representation and participation are the main features of this study, which represents a proposal for a method of interactive digital archiving. The digital khans can be exhibited in a virtual museum, or to be used as a database for those wishing to explore vanished heritage. The digital archiving project contributes to knowledge generation in placemaking using digital mediums and methods.
GAME DESIGN AT THE ART MUSEUM: THE NUBLA CASE OF EDUCATHYSSEN
Authors: Bahia Ana Beatriz
Published: August 2023

The article discusses one of the main projects of the Education Department of the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum (Madrid/ES). Nubla: Laboratorio de Arte, Educación y Videojuegos is a project designed in 2013, which took shape between 2015-2017, and is still active to this day. In this paper, I sought to understand what defines Nubla and how the project differs from the video games previously created by EducaThyssen (2001-). The methods used were: exploratory research (in the institution's online platforms),, and bibliographic review.  First, the article contextualizes and briefly describes the Nubla. Then, it discusses how this laboratory explores the language of video games, the game design process, and the development of media products. EducaThyssen works in collaborative dynamics, carried out with young audiences and in partnership with universities and companies in the video game industry. Finally, the article analyzes Nubla based on the concepts "active visitor" (1998) and "post-museum" (2000) by Eilean Hooper-Greenhill; and "communicative ecosystem" (2004) and "plural museum" (2000) by Jesús Martín-Barbero. It concludes that Nubla actively contributes to the transformation of practices and values, not only in the world of museums but also in the fields of art, education, and the video game industry.
Art and history go hand in hand: the evolution of Chinese national vocal music from the Yan'an period to reform and opening up

Published: August 2023

The Yan'an area was an important base for China's revolution. It was also in Yan'an that the Chinese Communist Party brought a lot of political and theoretical knowledge to the local people and created a lot of artistic forms, one of which was vocal music. Driven by the "Red Gene," the work of the Red Army in the Yan'an area became smoother, and they communicated with the local people on a spiritual level through vocal works. In the past 40 years of reform and opening up, the development of the times and social changes, the public aesthetic concept has also quietly developed and changed, which has had a great impact on the development of national vocal music: the creation of a large number of excellent national vocal works to glorify the new era; the performance of both the traditional singing bright and sweet and Western Bel canto singing transparent and round. In terms of education, a large number of national vocal educators such as Jin Tielin, Zou Wenqin, Ma Qiuhua, etc. They have established a perfect education and training system and complete singing skills. This Paper discusses the development of national vocal music and analyzes the important breakthroughs and achievements in the field of national vocal music in three stages, and composes the characteristics of national vocal music development itself, and analyzes and researches the various factors affecting it, so that we can think of danger in peace and create glory again.
DIREITOS CULTURAIS E O LIVRE ACESSO À CULTURA NO CONTEXTO PANDÉMICO EM PORTUGAL CONTINENTAL E NA REGIÃO AUTÓNOMA DA MADEIRA

Published: August 2023

De acordo com a Constituição da República Portuguesa, cabe ao Estado garantir o acesso de todos os cidadãos à fruição e criação cultural. Contudo, com a aplicação das medidas de contenção da pandemia da Covid-19, o sector cultural tornou-se vulnerável. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar de que forma o impacto da pandemia afetou a efetivação dos direitos culturais dos cidadãos nacionais. Esta investigação realiza uma análise comparada entre a realidade cultural nacional e a Região Autónoma da Madeira, considerando dados de visitantes nos museus e espectadores nos cinemas no período 2010-2020, refletindo já o impacto da pandemia em 2020. Numa primeira fase, procedeu-se à revisão bibliográfica da literatura científica. Para obter uma compreensão mais abrangente do sector cultural, este estudo debruçou-se sobre os dados estatísticos do Instituto Nacional de Estatística (2021) e da Direção Regional de Estatística - RAM (2021). Os resultados permitem verificar a diminuição da oferta cultural e do número de visitantes/espectadores dos espaços culturais. Este estudo propõe às organizações culturais a adoção de estratégias de comunicação e atuação na comunidade, de forma a promoverem a inclusão de diferentes públicos e manterem, assim, a sua atratividade e competitividade num contexto pós-pandémico.
Aktywność religijno-duszpasterska profesów klasztoru kanoników regularnych w Czerwińsku w latach 1720-1819
Authors: Marszalska Jolanta
Published: August 2023

W oparciu o Księgę Profesji dokonano analizy aktywności kanoników Regularnych zamieszkujących w latach 1720-1819 klasztor w Czerwińsku.  Można z niej się dowiedzieć nie tylko o liczebności konwentu czerwińskiego, ale również o spełnianych funkcjach przez zakonników, w tym także duszpasterskie zarówno w podległych konwentów i prepozyturach jak i parafiach diecezji płockiej. Szczególnie po kasacie klasztoru widać, że rola zakonników czerwińskich w placówkach duszpasterskich była znaczna, świadczy o tym fakt zabiegów wspomnianych biskupów płockich o możliwe jak najliczniejsze pozostanie zakonników na terenie diecezji i dalsze posługiwanie duszpasterskie. Znaczącym uzupełnieniem dla badań nad działalnością duszpasterską zakonników czerwińskich byłoby przeanalizowanie zachowanych wizytacji biskupich z tego okresu co bez wątpienia pozwoliło by na uzyskanie pełniejszego obrazu aktywności pastoralnej kanoników regularnych z Czerwińska.
Klasztor kanoników regularnych w Czerwińsku w świetle relacji do Rzymu biskupów płockich od końca XVI do końca XVIII wieku
Authors: Graczyk Waldemar
Published: August 2023

W artykule pochylono się nad funkcjonowaniem klasztoru kanoników regularnych w Czerwińsku w oparciu o relacje biskupów płockich. Komendataryjni opaci czermińscy od końca XVI wieku aż do końca XVIII wieku - poza Michałem Jerzym Poniatowskim - nie wykazywali większego zainteresowania przeprowadzaniem koniecznych reform dyscypliny zakonnej wśród zakonników czerwińskich. Biskupi płoccy ograniczali się jedynie do piętnowania nadużyć, zwłaszcza w sferze działalności duszpasterskiej, w ogłaszanych uchwałach synodalnych starali się znaleźć właściwe środki zaradcze, ale nie mieli skutecznego narzędzia do ich egzekwowania bowiem zakonnicy podlegali jurysdykcji przełożonych zakonnych, a nie biskupów diecezjalnych.
