ABSTRACT Enhancing soil fertility in vegetable cultivation presents challenges, notably using green manure from spontaneous species in the Caatinga biome, such as roostertree (Calotropis procera [Ait.] R. Br.). This study aimed to evaluate and optimize the physical and economic efficiencies of monocropped arugula, as influenced by varying amounts of roostertree biomass. We employed a randomized block design with seven treatments and five replications. Treatments involved different quantities of C. procera biomass (20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 t ha-1 on a dry basis), along with two additional treatments in each block: a control (no fertilization) and one with mineral fertilization. The "Cultivada" arugula cultivar was fertilized for maximum productive efficiency using 63.31 t ha-1 of C. procera dry biomass, yielding 8.45 t ha-1. The highest optimized agroeconomic efficiency, reflecting a net income of BRL 111,007.64 per hectare, was achieved with 59.26 t ha-1 of C. procera dry biomass. The return rate was BRL 4.65 for every real investment, with a profitability index of 77.38%. Thus, using C. procera biomass as green manure is a viable technology for arugula producers in semi -arid regions.
Floral anatomy of 12 species of the subtribe Myrciinae (Myrteae, Myrtaceae)
Authors: Carneiro Isabele Pierin , Thadeo Marcela , Mourão Káthia Socorro Mathias
Published: December 2024

Abstract Myrciinae, one of the nine subtribes of Myrteae, is a monophyletic group and only includes Myrcia. Phylogenetic studies have culminated in the establishment of sections in this genus supported by floral morphological traits. The anatomy of reproductive organs in Myrteae has proven to be important for understanding the evolution in subtribes. We described the floral anatomy of 12 species of Myrcia in eight of the nine sections to identify characteristics that may be useful for species or section delimitation. Herbarium samples and freshly collected material were processed using standard anatomical techniques. Anatomical aspects in all floral whorls that were similar between the species studied, but may occur in species in other subtribes of Myrteae, are the monocyclic pattern of ovarian vascularization, an outer, median and inner parenchymatic ovarian mesophyll, homogeneous mesophyll in the sepal, and campylotropous ovule. Spongy parenchyma in the petal seems to be the most common pattern for Myrteae, but in Pliniinae, a sister subtribe of Myciinae, homogeneous mesophyll is the most frequent type. The discrete differences observed that should be further explored in the subtribe Myrciinae are the presence or absence of unicellular, non-glandular trichomes in the indumentum of the pedicel, gynoecium, hypanthium, sepal, and petal.
Enhancing growth and drought tolerance in tomato through arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis
Authors: Singh Meenakshi , Singh Pradeep Kumar
Published: December 2024

Abstract Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can improve water-deficit tolerance in tomatoes, although very few studies have examined the AMF contribution to the metabolism of proline under water-deficit stress. In our study, we investigated the effects of AMF inoculation on plant growth and drought tolerance in tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) under well-watered and drought conditions. AMF inoculations were applied in treatments with or without AMF, and with Rhizophagus intraradices, Funneliformis mosseae, or both. Our results evident that AMF colonization significantly increased the plant growth of tomatoes despite soil water conditions and significant with dually inoculated plants and R. intraradices was more effective than F. mosseae. During AMF inoculation and water stress conditions, photosynthesis increased significantly, while proline levels showed no significant change under these conditions. AMF could enhance the growth of the crop, drought tolerance through changes in morphological, physiological, and biochemical qualities of tomato crops. It summarized that AMF enhances the higher SLA, LAR, RGR, and photosynthetic yield under both watered and drought conditions. AMF enhanced the nutritional status, combined with leaf relative water content (RWC), which assists the plant’s translocation of minerals and alleviates the impact of drought on tomato growth.

Published: December 2024

Abstract Objective to identify strategies and challenges in the use of big data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Occupational Health, as well as practices and obstacles to their implementation. Methods scoping review using terms related to occupational health, big data, and AI in four databases (Medline, Embase, BVS, and SciELO) considering articles in Portuguese, Spanish, and English published up to 2022. Studies using large databases and AI for occupational health-related analyses were included. Article selection was performed independently by two researchers, and the conflicts were resolved by consensus. Results of the 505 articles identified, 16 were selected. The low number may be associated with the scarcity of data that address worker’s health systemically, considering demographic, technological, socioeconomic, and environmental factors. The selected studies showed that big data and AI have a good potential to support occupational health by identifying health indicators and enabling accurate predictions. Implementation faces challenges such as data storage and ethical issues. Conclusion big data and AI can be useful tools for analyzing the complex interactions of variables to improve the identification of health determinants and record data on work environments and individuals exposed to them.

Authors: Medeiros Aline Vieira , Forte Franklin Delano Soares , Toassi Ramona Fernanda Ceriotti
Published: December 2024

RESUMO Educação Interprofissional (EIP) é uma estratégia que contribui para o aprendizado compartilhado entre profissões, promove práticas colaborativas, influenciando positivamente ações e resultados em saúde. Esta pesquisa qualitativa fenomenológica propôs-se a compreender como a EIP é percebida no currículo de uma Residência Multiprofissional em Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS), na perspectiva de residentes. Todos os residentes do segundo ano participaram de entrevistas semiestruturadas (n = 10). O material textual produzido foi interpretado pela análise de conteúdo, utilizando o software Visual Qualitative Data Analysis. A formação na APS possibilitou o aprender-trabalhar compartilhado entre diferentes profissões, expresso pela interação, troca de saberes e reconhecimento dos papéis no trabalho. Entre as práticas compartilhadas, destacaram-se a discussão de casos, reuniões de equipe, consultas multiprofissionais, pré-natal, visitas domiciliares, reconhecimento do território e ações coletivas de promoção/educação em saúde. A comunicação foi evidenciada como elemento fundamental para o trabalho colaborativo em equipe e resolução de conflitos. Experiências de aprendizagem compartilhadas com equipes multiprofissionais que atuam no cuidado de pessoas-famílias-comunidade, com interação, confirmam a potência da APS para o desenvolvimento da EIP. Entretanto, é preciso avançar em currículos que expressem a intencionalidade pedagógica para a EIP e em pesquisas que tragam a percepção de preceptores-tutores-coordenação do Programa.

ABSTRACT This study sought to explain how interactions between health actors on the triple border of Brazil, Colombia and Peru influence the provision of care to border residents in that location. As a method, a single, explanatory, integrated, qualitative case was carried out in a municipality on the triple border of Brazil, Colombia, and Peru. The sources of evidence used were: documentary data, interviews, and direct observations. MaxQDA12® software was used to organize the data and for analysis, theoretical propositions, and construction of explanations as an analytical strategy and analysis technique. The data collected showed that financial issues are the main challenge in offering healthcare to border residents. However, the healthcare offered to this population is based on ethical values, such as egalitarianism; respect for individual freedom and human life; solidarity and altruism. In this context, healthcare for border residents in the studied region is recognized by local health managers as a right.

The Path to 5G in the Developing World: Planning Ahead for a Smooth Transition
Authors:   World Bank
Published: December 2024

The global race for implementing 5G mobile technologies has seen countries riding a new wave of wireless technologies. 5G—the next generation of mobile technologies—can enable a significantly higher level of performance over 4G mobile communications, providing a new layer of connectivity to support innovative, data-intensive applications. With the estimated impact of 5G on global gross domestic product to be in the trillions of US dollars, 5G’s deployment will drive innovation, job creation, worker productivity, and competitiveness across various sectors. Several use cases are already being tested, and deployment is under way in many countries.

For some countries, 5G may seem a distant future prospect given the costs of infrastructure deployment and the need for expensive handsets; for other countries, 5G is an on-ramp to Industry 4.0 and has been folded into national strategy planning. 5G trials, pilots, and commercial deployments have been progressing around the world, but most deployments are in higher-income countries. Significant barriers remain for developing countries, many of which pertain to the challenges faced by the broader telecommunications sector and all of which threaten to further widen the digital divide and limit access to the economic opportunities that 5G connectivity enables.

What does this reality mean for developing countries, and how can national governments prepare? "The Path to 5G in the Developing World: Planning Ahead for a Smooth Transition" surveys the technical capabilities of 5G and explores how countries can reach connectivity goals by using 5G as a layer of connectivity along with 4G and other technologies. This report also provides a guide for policy makers to better understand the opportunities, challenges, and risks posed by 5G so that they can plan for a policy and regulatory ecosystem that supports the path to advanced mobile network deployment, access, and adoption.

Tricholomopsis aurea is used as food in different parts of the world, but has not been investigated for its nutrients, metabolites, and biological potentials like other edible mushrooms. This work aimed to quantify the metabolic and nutrient content of T. aurea and evaluate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of the extract and isolated compounds. The method employed involves chromatographic, spectroscopic, bovine serum albumin microplate, analytical and standard assays. Oleic, elaidic, petroselinic acids, ergosterol, ergosterol peroxide, 22E724R)-24-ethylcholesta-5,7,22-trien-3β-ol, and adenosine were isolated and identified using 1D and 2D-NMR spectroscopy and spectrometric data. The metabolic content revealed high phenolics (799.62 μgGaE/g of dry matter (DM)), low flavonoids (24.54 μgQE/g DM), alkaloids (32.92 μgQiE/g DM), and saponins (88.00 μgQSE/g DM). The nutrients content was made up of proteins (4.79%), lipids (10.43%), fibers (16.01%), ashes (15.96%), carbohydrates (8.74%), dry matter (85.93%), and moisture (14.07%) with energy value of 362.89 kcal. In mg/100 g, the minerals were phosphorus (283.97%), calcium (817.25%), potassium (67.10%), magnesium (94.42%), iron (57.27%), and sodium (74.4%). The extract displayed the antioxidant activity against TAC and FRAP (100-1000 μg/mL), DPPH (SC50 of 248.95 μg/mL) and ABTS (SC50 of 180.7 μg/mL), while the test compounds were not active. The extract, adenosine, ergosterol peroxide, and ergosterol showed anti-inflammatory activity with IC50 of 49.19 μg/mL, 4.91 μg/mL, 6.85 μg/mL, and 29.51 μg/mL, respectively. Conclusively, this study will help to promote the application of T. aurea in traditional dishes and functional or nutraceutical foods.
Investigating the common practice of higher education institutions’ facility management

Published: December 2024

Higher education institutions (HEIs) are an indispensable part of the UK society. In 2011, the Higher Education Funding Council for England set a carbon reduction target of 43% by 2020, which most HEIs failed to meet. HEIs have a clear interest in improving student experience/comfort and their sustainability credentials. However, this research found that space management in HEIs is clearly inefficient. This research represents the first phenomenological study in this field and identifies current practices in HEIs regarding their space/energy management. First, a traditional thematic literature review was completed, which found a clear gap on what data are collected and used to calculate the ventilation/heating/cooling by facilities managers at HEIs. Then, semi-structured interviews were conducted with facilities management experts (n = 10) based in HEIs. This study concludes that HEIs should calculate ventilation, heating and cooling loads working in geometry and real occupancy, as this will improve occupant comfort, enrich the student experience and increase energy efficiency. A building information modelling platform could be adopted to integrate different systems so that building management systems have enhanced access to time-sensitive space/energy data.

A mixed-methods approach to emotional responses in DMOs’ tourism promotional videos: From objective appraisal to subjective interpretation
Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Kim Sohye , Lee Hoon
Published: December 2024

This study aims to explore emotional responses to promotional YouTube clips uploaded by DMOs. Specifically, it examines whether watching the videos directly induces increases in pleasure and arousal, as well as to explore viewers’ subjective interpretations of positively perceived content. To achieve these objectives, an explanatory sequential mixed methods approach was employed to investigate two dimensions of emotional responses: objective evaluation and subjective interpretation. In the first stage, promotional videos selected through expert assessment from global DMOs’ YouTube uploads were presented to 40 individuals. Immediate and objective emotional responses were measured using SAM scale. Results indicated that watching the videos generally induced increases in both arousal and pleasure. In the second stage, 18 participants who exhibited the highest increases in positve emotional responses were selected, and their subjective interpretations were collected using the Q-method. Results indicated that three types of viewing experiences: focusing on natural backgrounds while engaging with tourism activities (Type I), concentrating exclusively on tourism activities (Type II), and providing an integrative, cognitive evaluation of the video content (Type III). These findings confirm the effectiveness of the DMO’s promotional materials in eliciting positive emotional responses. Additionally, the study supports tourism scholars’ arguments about the importance of exploring positive emotions, even within the context of visual consumption through social media. Practical implications are provided for practitioners, emphasizing the utility of mixed methods in analyzing consumer responses to promotional content within the online ecosystem.

How has the idea of ​​curriculum been constructed in the proceeding of University Association of Teachers of Social Sciences Didactics congresses in the last 10 years? What have we understood by "the curricular"? What curricular elements do we select?
This article summarizes the research carried out through the contributions published in the proceeding books of the symposia held annually by the area since 2008 (entitled Social Sciences Teaching, School Curriculum and Teacher Training) until 2017. This is a study that uses quantitative methodology through frequency analysis of the appearance of the selected terms ("curriculum" and "curricular"), with a qualitative methodology, analyzing those terms with those with which they are endowed with meaning on each occasion. The connection between the frequency and its meaning with the different themes of the symposium and the state of the area in each moment reveals the evolution from a concept of an external design curriculum towards a curriculum thought and constructed from the Didactics of the Social Sciences. In fact, the classical elements equilibrium that appears at the pedagogical definition of curriculum disappears to show us the roles of teachers and students as the priority elements.

Published: December 2024

Environmental problems are a challenge for today's society; hence, it is an area of interest in the educational field at different levels of education. We propose an investigation from the didactics of the social sciences, in the teacher training, to analyze the social representation of this problem and the way in which the environmental challenges in the classrooms of primary education by the future teachers would be included. In this work, we present the results obtained with respect to this last question. The research, which corresponds to a case study, is established from a socio-critical approach, seeking the obtaining of results that can help in the process of teacher training. The data has been obtained through a questionnaire, developed with the purpose of obtaining both qualitative and quantitative information. The research was carried out during the 2017-2018 academic year, at the Faculty of Educational Sciences of the University of Córdoba. The results show the conception of environmental problems as a relevant concern for students; however, it highlights a fairly ambiguous conceptual knowledge marked by the influence of the media, as well as a limited capacity to propose didactic sequences that encourage a necessary social change and a holistic and comprehensive environmental education.
El origen de los Estudios Sociales en Estados Unidos
Authors: Gómez Rodríguez A. Ernesto
Published: December 2024

Historians link the origin of Social Studies with the publication of the Report of the Social Studies Committee (CSS) of the National Education Association (NEA), which Ravitch calls "birth certificate of the field of social studies" (1987, 348). Since its publication in 1916, the origins of Social Studies have been much discussed, but the historiography of the Area has hardly deepened the events that occurred prior to the Report. Our work analyzes these initial moments and their transfer to the national curriculum, in the context of the changes that took place in that country in the transition from the 19th to the 20th centuries. Pay special attention to the racial issue, integration and education of former slaves underlining the role of Thomas Jesse Jones, a sociologist who had worked with African-American and Native American students at the Hampton Institute of Virginia and who would chair the Committee for Social Studies, influencing to include in the Report the postulates developed at the Hampton Institute.
Flood Reduction and Prevention Possibilities in the Flood Plains: A Study of the Varuna River Basin in the Flood Plain of the Ganga River, Uttar Pradesh, India
Authors: Mishra Mallikarjun , Raman V.A.V. , Prudhvi Raju K.N.
Published: December 2024

Floods are a recurring phenomenon in the floodplain region of the Ganga River largely caused by several floodplain tributaries. One such tributary of the Ganga in its floodplain is the 225 km long monsoon-fed Varuna River. Using high-resolution Google earth satellite images, 662tals (local word for large natural ponds), and 15383 other smaller ponds/ tanks (natural and man-made), were identified and delineated. The tals and ponds/tanks occupy 430 km2 and 93 km2 respectively, within the 3141 km2area of the Varuna River basin. Based on the areas and approximate water depths that were averaged from field measurements at selected tals and ponds/tanks, the total water-holding capacity of all these water bodies is estimated to be as much as 57% (1140 million cubic metres) of the total surface water runoff of the basin. In spite of such a large water-holding capacity within these tals and ponds/ tanks, floods are still an almost annual phenomenon in the Varuna basin because (i) water is not allowed to accumulate in the tals and (ii)the ponds/tanks have shrunk and/or silted up, reducing their volume. Deepening by desilting of tals and ponds/tanks can be taken up by engaging the local labourers through the government-funded rural employment guarantee schemes. The majority of the village tals and ponds/tanks can be used for pisciculture in order to generate development funds.
Confirmation of Nature of Palaeo-course of Assi River, India: Some Significant Revelations from Electrical Resistivity Tomography
Authors: Mishra Mallikarjun , Rana Sanjay , Rai Praveen Kumar , Singh Prafull , Prudhvi Raju K.N.
Published: December 2024

A long and continuous palaeo-course of Assi River, in between Prayagraj and Varanasi, in the Ganga River plains with indications of good groundwater potential had been traced from remote sensing data. Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) has been conducted along eight lines for confirmation of the same palaeo-course in general and to specifically ascertain the nature of the course—the past flow conditions and the type of deposits. The variation in the thickness of channel deposits along the concave and convex banks and the middle parts is an indication of lean flow. The mixed fractions of channel deposits are an indication of dumping of sediments in the dying stages of a river. The ERT investigation has further helped in delineating the high resistive palaeo-channels (20 to 50 Ohm.m), the low resistivity aquiclude clay layer (<15 Ohm.m) and the deeper and relatively higher resistivity sandy layer (>50 Ohm.m), which could be the principal aquifer in the area.
Delineating the Lithotectonic Domains in the Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt: Implication for the Regional Exploration of the Metasediment Hosted Graphite and Manganese Ore Horizons
Authors: Behera K. K. , Mohakul J. P.
Published: December 2024

The present work documents and discusses the spatial disposition and lithotectonic control of graphite and manganese mineralization associated with metasediments of the Proterozoic Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt (EGMB) of eastern Indian shield and attempts to evolve a working model for furthering their exploration activities. Detailed satellite image based trendline mapping was done for the part of EGMB north of the Godavari Rift to map the marker horizons and demarcate structural discontinuities. Based on the contiguity of mineralised zones and their disruption due to structural discontinuities in EGMB, a lithotectonic map has been prepared. Five lithotectonic domains having distinct disposition patterns of mineralisation have been made which are (i) the southernmost, Vizianagaram - Rajahmahendravaram Domain bounded on its east by the N-S trending Nagavalli Shear Zone (NSZ), (ii) the Nagavalli - Vamsadhara Domain lying between NSZ and Vamsadhara Shear Zone (VSZ), (iii) the central Daspalla - Phulbani Domain bounded by VSZ in the south and the Mahanadi Shear Zone (MSZ) in the north, (iv) the northernmost Angul - Redhakhol Domain located north of the MSZ and (v) the western Balangir Domain between the eastern margin of the Bastar Craton and the Tel Shear Zone (TSZ). The disposition of the mineralised zones is unique in each domain, primarily controlled by the second and third generation folding often modified by high strain zones. Based on this, a working model for exploration in brownfield and greenfield areas has been proposed.

Objectives. To determine the prevalence and severity of nomophobia (dread of not having a smartphone) among nurses.

Methods. A systematic search was carried out across different electronic databases, including Medline (PubMed), SCOPUS Embase, CINAHL, EBSCO, and Google Scholar, until March 2024. The meta-analysis included studies that reported the prevalence of nomophobia in nurses and used the Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q). Two independent reviewers identified the studies, extracted the data, and assessed the risk of bias using Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tool. PROSPERO register number CRD42024512079.

Results. A total 10 studies (4 in Italy and 6 in Turkey) with 3086 individuals were found to meet the inclusion criteria for the systematic review. However, data could not be retrieved for one research, thus nine studies being included in the meta-analysis. The Overall Prevalence of nomophobia was 68.15% (95% CI: 57.49%-78.81%; I² = 99%). The prevalence of mild nomophobia was reported to be 43% (95% CI, 24%-65%; I2 = 99%), moderate nomophobia was 31% (95% CI, 17%-50%; I2 = 99%), and severe nomophobia was 7% (95% CI, 2%-25%; I2= 95%). Country-specific analysis revealed that Turkish nurses had a greater level of nomophobia than their Italian nurses.

Conclusion. Nurses have a high prevalence of mild to moderate nomophobia which emphasizes the need of preventative initiatives and tailored intervention for nurses in health care organizations.
The Decline of Economic and Political Freedom After Covid‐19: A New Authoritarian Dawn?
Authors: Hartwell Christopher A.
Published: December 2024

The response to Covid-19 in both democratic countries (adopting tactics of totalitarian nations) and autocracies (ignoring the scope of the problem) posed a grave threat to life and liberty. Are we slouching towards a new authoritarian dawn? Or was the pandemic response an aberration that has corrected itself already? There are no easy answers to these questions but it is apparent that the pandemic was an inflection point for both the West and rogue nations around the world. This editorial gives an overview of the key points surrounding the democratic backsliding globally as a result of the pandemic and introduces the articles in this thematic issue.
Sentez gazı-metan karışımlarının ön karışımsız türbülanslı yanmasının azot oksit emisyonlarına etkisi üzerine sayısal bir çalışma
Authors: Öztürk Suat
Published: December 2024

Sunulan çalışmada, biyokütlenin gazlaştırılması ile üretilen sentez gaza farklı oranlarda metan eklenmesi ile elde edilen karışımların türbülanslı yanması sonunda azot oksitlerin emisyonlarındaki değişimler farklı şartlar altında sayısal olarak incelenmiştir. Simülasyonlar, ön karışımsız yakıt/hava karışımı jet alevleri için gerçekleştirilmiştir. Adyabatik olmayan alev sıcaklıkları ve emisyonlar ANSYS programı kullanılarak hesaplanmıştır. Alev sıcaklıkları ve yakıcı çıkışında azot oksitlerin salımlarının, hidrojen/karbon monoksit-metan karışımı içindeki metan miktarının artması ile azaldığı saptanmıştır. %50 metan eki, azot oksitlerin salımınını %58.9 düşürmektedir. Artan basıncın azot oksitlerin emisyonlarını artırdığı ve bu artışın metan oranının yükselmesi ile azaldığı belirlenmiştir. Azot oksitler, 7 bar basınçta %202.8 yükselmektedir. Tüm yakıt karışımları için, hem giriş havası hem de yakıcı duvar sıcaklıklarındaki artış alev sıcaklığını ve azot oksitlerin üretimini artırdığı tespit edilmiştir. Giriş sıcaklığının 100 K yükseltilmesi azot oksitlerin salımınını %14.4 artırmaktadır. Yakma havası içindeki nem oranının artmasının azot oksitlerin oluşumunu düşürdüğü ve yakma havası içinde karbon dioksit seyreltmesinin azot oksitlerin salınımlarını azalttığı belirlenmiştir. Karbon dioksit seyreltmesinde %5 artış, azot oksitlerin salımınını %63 düşürmektedir.
Schiff bazı içeren çinko(II) kompleksinin kolorektal kanser hücreleri üzerindeki antikanser aktivitesinin incelenmesi
Authors: Uçar Asuman , Çelik Sultan , Pehlivanoğlu Suray
Published: December 2024

Kolorektal kanser, Dünya’da sık görülen ve kansere bağlı ölümler açısından ikinci sırada yer alan, tedavisi zor heterojen bir hastalıktır. Hastaların çoğunluğu tanı anında ileri evrededir ve kullanılan kemoterapötik ajanlara direnç söz konudur. Bu çalışmada potansiyel bir ajan olarak, 1,3-diaminopropan ve 2-hidroksi-1-naftaldehitten yola çıkarak N,N'-bis[(2-hidroksi-1- naftalenil)metilen]-propan-1,3-diamin ligandı (H2L) ve onun Zn(II) kompleksi sentezlenmiştir. Bileşikler 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, FT-IR, UV ile karakterize edilmiştir ve HT29 kolorektal kanser hücreleri üzerine olan olası terapötik etkileri araştırılmıştır. H2L ve Zn(II) kompleksinin HT29 hücre canlılığı üzerine etkileri MTT testi ile değerlendirilmiştir. H2L ve Zn(II) kompleksinin HT29 hücrelerinde IC50 değerleri sırasıyla 117.1 µg/ml ve 17.03 µg/ml olarak hesaplanmıştır. Zn(II) kompleksi ligandına kıyasla hücre canlılığını anlamlı derecede azaltmış ve hücresel apoptotik morfolojilerin oluşmasını tetiklemiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre, Zn(II) kompleksi umut veren ve terapötik potansiyeli olan bir kemoterapötik olabileceğini destekler niteliktedir. Gelecekte Zn(II) kompleksinin kolorektal kanser hücreleri üzerindeki etki mekanizmasını aydınlatacak daha kapsamlı çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.

Muitos corpos, muitos corpus
Authors: Rodrigues Diana da Silva
Published: December 2024

RESUMO: O seguinte artigo pretende analisar a construção de corpos Trans na obra Transition to murder, de Renee James (2012) em comparação com Batons, assassinatos e profetas, de Mehmet Murat Somer (2010). Ambas as obras são narrativas detetivescas que possuem personagens Trans como narradoras protagonistas. Olharemos de perto como as protagonistas narram a si e às personagens a sua volta no que tange à descrição de seus corpos, passando por questões de beleza, idade e comunidade que surgem a partir da ótica narrativa. Para nos auxiliar a debater algumas questões, traremos os pensamentos de viviane vergueiro (2015), Judith Butler (1992), Carla Portilho (2009) e Pedro Paulo Antunes (2010). Nota-se que as questões de autoestima e de cisnormatividade interferem diretamente na visão dessas personagens sobre si e sobre o outro e que ambas as obras nos dão plataformas para debatermos novos olhares sobre os corpos Trans.
Em breve cárcere ou a subjetividade conquistada pela palavra
Authors: Da Cunha Moura Dayane Campos
Published: December 2024

Neste artigo, analisamos as relações entre atividade escritural e conformação da subjetividade feminina a partir da leitura do romance Em breve cárcere, da escritora argentina Sylvia Molloy. A narrativa, predominantemente em terceira pessoa, centra-se na reconstrução das experiências vividas pela protagonista, das descobertas e perdas apreensíveis fugazmente pelo gesto doloroso, mas necessário, da escrita. Para tanto, tentaremos cartografar os caminhos dessa memória especular atravessada pelo onírico, que revela temores e desejos de uma subjetividade fabricada na solidão de um cômodo-metáfora. Mobilizaremos alguns conceitos de Pierre Bourdieu, presentes em A dominação masculina (1998), bem como refletiremos sobre o lugar da “mulher-que-escreve” a partir das considerações que Virginia Woolf tece no ensaio intitulado “Um teto todo seu” (1929).
As rosas: fluxo, ciclo e dualidade em Orides Fontela
Authors: Mendonça Serafim Fernando Ulisses
Published: December 2024

Este artigo se propõe a refletir sobre o modo como o tempo e suas feições são exploradas na poesia da escritora brasileira Orides Fontela (1940-1998). Às vezes posicionado como uma estratégia de compreensão do efêmero, às vezes mobilizado na forma de uma representação do etéreo, às vezes somando essas duas contingências, seu discurso poético não raro subverte a própria estrutura da poesia e do tempo poético, o que torna o questionamento temporal uma marca perene de sua escrita. A compreensão dessas circunstâncias envolve também certas noções filosóficas de tempo em seus desdobramentos mais sensíveis, o que é explicado pela formação da autora nessa área. Para demonstrar essas noções, empregamos como parâmetro de nossa análise alguns elementos muito frequentes em sua poesia, e, como símbolo privilegiado de tais concepções, a figura da rosa, da rosácea e das flores.
