The provision of misleading and incorrect information by merging parties in EU merger investigations
Authors: Maziarz Aleksander
Published: October 2022

This article focuses on the supply of information by companies during a European Commission merger investigation. This information enables the Commission to forecast the future effects of the merger. If companies provide incorrect or misleading information, the Commission may inaccurately assess the effects of the merger. This article analyses the Commission’s decision-making practice in the field of submission by companies of misleading or incorrect information, with the aim of determining the scope of the application of the provisions of the EU Merger Regulation that enable the imposition of penalties on companies that provide incorrect or misleading information during a merger investigation.

Abuse of economic dependence and its interaction with competition policy: the economics perspective
Authors: Alimonti Roberto , Johnson Matthew
Published: October 2022

A number of jurisdictions, including in the European Union, have adopted legal provisions that ban situations in which one contractual party holds and abuses a position of economic strength relative to a counterparty. This practice, typically referred to as ‘abuse of economic dependence’, can be invoked by companies before national courts, or by or before national competition authorities if they deem that such abuse has implications for competition. A recent yet sudden increase in abuse of economic dependence decisions by national competition authorities indicates that this enforcement tool is gaining traction, possibly due to its lower evidentiary bar compared to the more established abuse of dominance under EU or national competition law. However, if competition policy is intended to protect competition and ultimately consumers, it is unclear how the relationship between two companies can affect competition, especially if the stronger negotiating party is not dominant and the weaker party is too small to make a tangible impact on consumer welfare ‒ unless the same contractual terms are imposed on a large number of weaker parties.

This article sets out the principal provisions of such legislation in Belgium, France, Germany and Italy and its enforcement in France and Italy, before considering the economics of bargaining and offering some policy recommendations and conclusions. This article shows that the issues that laws prohibiting the abuse of economic dependence are intended to safeguard can be dealt with by other means, for example contract law. If it is intended to apply these legal provisions to highly innovative sectors such as digital, other regulatory tools may be better placed to bring competition and fairness in the online world, such as the EU’s Digital Markets Act. Nevertheless, it is likely that these enforcement tools will be used more often. As such, it is important to set high thresholds for when such enforcement tools can be used by competition authorities and to introduce quantitative analyses to inform their assessment.
Refining micro-seismic catalogs around Seydişehir, Turkey
Authors: Yavuz Evrim
Published: October 2022

In Turkey, two official seismology centers, Bogazici University Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute Regional Earthquake-Tsunami Monitoring Center (KOERI-RETMC) and Republic of Turkey Prime Ministry Disaster Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) announce and share seismic catalogs with the public and international services. According to their seismic network distribution, together with different crustal models and calculation algorithms, obtaining earthquake parameters (location, depth, etc.) could differ between these two centers, especially, affecting source types of the low-magnitude events. Both low-magnitude tectonic events and artificial quakes that originating from open-pit quarry are catalogued by the seismology centers. These two centers announce different source types for the seismic events; therefore, this study focuses on the reliable identification of the micro-seismic events. Magnitude Ml<2.4 177 seismic events commonly identified in KOERI-RETMC and AFAD catalogs are used. Due to the differences between KOERI-RETMC and AFAD seismic catalogs, the “first determination” (FD) was needed to start the discrimination analyses. Then, waveforms of the station SEYD and SEDI are operated by KOERI-RETMC and AFAD were analyzed with four methods (Amplitude Ratio, Complexity, Short Time Fourier Transform and Corner Frequency-Power Spectrum) and two statistical approaches (linear and quadratic discriminant functions) with the use and comparison with FD. Finally, station-based weightings are obtained with all techniques, and the source types of all events are calculated in percent. Generally, the success rates of the methods are calculated over 90%. The reliability increases with the co-usage of many analyses and the application of method-based weighting. Hence, many methods should be used to reliably determine the source types of micro-seismic events. Both centers should make more detailed analyses to identify micro-seismic events and share their reliable and revised catalogs.
EKOLOGIS DI TENGAH PANDEMI COVID-19: PENCEMARAN LINGKUNGAN SEBAGAI SUATU MASALAH EKOLOGIS DI MASA PANDEMI COVID-19
Authors: Rosmita Restifani Cahyami
Published: October 2022

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menjelaskan salah satu masalah ekologis yang terjadi di masa pandemi Covid-19 yaitu pencemaran lingkungan. Tulisan ini dikaji dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif yang bersifat deskriptif berdasarkan fakta dan pengalaman di lapangan. Tulisan ini menunjukkan bahwa pencemaran lingkungan di masa pandemi menjadi salah satu masalah ekologis. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan memperhatikan lingkungan sekitar di mana sampah-sampah akibat pandemi yang berupa masker sekali pakai maupun sampah kesehatan lainnya yang tidak dapat dikelola dengan baik serta dibuang secara sembarangan sehingga menimbulkan pencemaran lingkungan yang berdampak pada kelestarian dan kebersihan lingkungan bahkan dapat berujung pada bencana alam. Oleh karena itu, dibutuhkan kesadaran ekologi manusia pada saat ini secara khusus gereja untuk menghadapi pandemi Covid-19 sehingga pandemi tidak berujung pada lahirnya masalah ekologi yang baru yaitu pencemaran lingkungan melainkan suatu momen refleksi untuk kembali membangun hubungan dengan Allah melalui tindakan sadar akan tugas dan tanggungjawab terhadap alam yakni menjaga, mengelola dan mengusahakan sesuai dengan mandat yang diberikan Allah.

This research aimed to empirically investigate the types of LINC+ budget execution of individual universities participated in LINC+ and the industry-university cooperation performance differences based on the derived budget execution types, and to suggest policy implications to improve the performance of LINC 3.0. To achieve the purpose, this study exploits LINC+ budget execution dataset of 50 universities participated in LINC+ from 2017 to 2019 utilizing cluster analysis, OLS and fixed effect model.
The major findings showed that LINC+ budget execution can be divided into ‘Industry-university cooperative program and industry linkage centered universities’ and ‘Industry-university cooperative infrastructure centered universities’. Furthermore, ‘infrastructure-centered universities’ were more effective in improving the ratio of students involved in contract department with industry than ‘program and industry-linkage centered universities’. This study attempted to provide useful policy implications to improve the performance of individual universities participated in LINC 3.0 and suggestions for policy practitioners in the field of industry-university cooperation.
Reflections on the Transformation of the World Order: Emerging Trends and Impending Perspectives
Authors: Khojayan Karine
Published: October 2022

The article analyzes the latest trends of the started process of transformation of world order, trying to explain it by various concepts, bringing forward by researchers and scientists, substantiating for many decades the urgent need for the existence of a dominant state - a hegemon which plays a role of a stabilizer of the international relations.  The article focuses on the concept of hegemonic stability, arguing that existence of hegemon especially in the political and economic system is a necessary condition for maintaining global peace and stability.  

Special attention is paid to the conditions that contribute to the decline of hegemony. Drawing parallels between today's realities and the concepts, highlighted by Charles Kindleberger, Robert Gilpin, Immanuel Wallerstein and other researchers, the article proves that even based on the concepts of the mentioned researchers who for many years justified the “stabilizing role” of the US hegemony, after the global fanatical crisis of 2008 a new phase of development is becoming more and more noticeable. Referring to the point of view of I. Wallerstein, the article concludes that even maintaining dominance to a certain extent in a number of areas, such as military, political, the unipolar world order has already gone down in history.

The collection was written originally in English and published in 2021. It analyzes the problems of the Velvet Revolution in Armenia in terms of the decline of authoritarianism and civil resistance in the transformation of a multipolar world. The authors of the collection comparatively analyze the internal and external political problems of modern Armenia, the policy of democratization of the political regime, the cycles of political power, the transit of the elite and the leadership of the parties in power, certain aspects of its economic and social development.
The team of authors prepared this collection and a comprehensive study of the entire system of public regulation of the political life of Armenia, the nature and forms of relations between the public authorities and civil society organizations. The main trends in the foreign policy development of post-Soviet Armenia, primarily in the regional conflict environment and in the European direction, and in connection with the Velvet Revolution, are explored.
The authors of the chapters highlight the main stages and tasks of the Velvet Revolution in Armenia and civil resistance: when, how and how it was built and with what degree of effectiveness the system of public regulation operated, how its main administrative institutions operated in the center and locally.
The appeal to this problem is caused by the relevance of studying the subject of the Velvet Revolution in the modern life of Armenia, the need to more fully comprehend the processes taking place in the Armenian environment inside and outside the country.
The book contains many interesting facts and points of view. Therefore, it will be interesting and useful not only for scientists, but also for everyone interested in the problems of revolution, democratization and civil resistance.

Bacterial collagenolytic proteases have drawn increasing attention due to their essential role in the global nitrogen cycling and their virulent role in some diseases. The inhibition of these enzymes is attractive, as it does not attack the pathogen directly but rather blocks the colonization and infiltration of the host by the clostridia. Optically active non-protein α-amino acids have been screened for their ability to inhibit collagenase of Clostridium histolyticum. Both structure-based drug design approach (modeling) and that of determining enzyme activity in the presence of amino acids have been used to identify low molecular weight inhibitors of collagenase. The compounds able to inhibit collagenase activity have been revealed and IC50 values have been estimated.

Published: October 2022

A preliminary evaluation of ATPase was performed in an experimental model of breast cancer. Total and mitochondrial ATPase activities were studied in the breast and liver of rats with DMBA-induced breast cancer. It has been shown that during the development of breast cancer in these tissues there is a significant increase in ATPase activity. At the same time, an increase in ATPase activity is seen in the liver of rats. In the case of treatment cancer rats with H.alpestre, there are almost no changes in ATPase activity in rats' liver homogenate and mitochondria compared to cancer animals. In the case of combined treatment with chemical inhibitors and H.alpestre, ATPase activity is significantly reduced with the use of L-NAME, the values obtained are lower even compared to healthy animals. However, with the use of nor-NOHA, a further increase in ATPase activity is observed. The obtained results will allow evaluation of the effectiveness of the therapeutic model by changing the energy balance, and selecting furthermore effective doses, to clarify the mechanisms of influence of these combination models.

Published: October 2022

Los proyectos de inversión pública que comprenden la gestión de riesgos climáticos se han intensificado en diversos países por las experiencias positivas a los desafíos que suponen las perturbaciones ocasionadas por los fenómenos naturales asociados al clima. Sobre este aspecto se realizó un análisis de la gestión de los riesgos climáticos en la inversión pública en Ecuador. En este marco se llevó a cabo una revisión y posterior análisis de fuentes documentales inherentes a la temática tanto a nivel nacional como internacional, lo cual permitirá comprender la incidencia de los riesgos medioambientales en la inversión pública en Ecuador, partiendo del análisis de su texto constitucional y los planes nacionales inherentes a la inversión pública. Se encontró que mitigar el riesgo del cambio climático es ya una necesidad en las maneras de abordar los efectos de las perturbaciones de cualquier evento natural, todo lo cual ha implicado por parte de los Estados, trabajar de la mano y de forma coordinada con diversos organismos internacionales especialistas en la temática y, a razón de ello, tal como señala la literatura consultada se han venido diseñando planes de sostenibilidad fiscal que reduzcan los riesgos climáticos e incentiven la infraestructura resiliente a los impactos del cambio climático, través de subsidios, impuestos y exenciones, entre otros instrumentos que conlleven una correcta gestión del riesgo y de esta forma generar el cese de aquellas actividades asociadas al clima y que vulneran el desarrollo de las naciones.

Forest degradation occurs in natural World Heritage Sites (WHS) in the Global South despite the implementation of various strategic policies and the World Heritage Convention (WHC) on forest protections of the sites and this poses challenges to improving natural heritage sustainability. The current study aims to investigate spatial determinants of forest degradation in the Kilimanjaro WHS, Tanzania, to support strategic policies for forest landscape protection and natural heritage sustainability. Using remotely sensed, Digital Elevation Model, and tourism location data, we performed the supervised classification of satellite images, Digital Elevation, Euclidean distance, and linear regression modeling to identify spatial determinants of forest degradation. Our key findings indicated that while spatial determinants vary with different locations, human (tourism) activities e.g., developments of campsites, picnics, tourist routes, the historical site, and attraction areas are associated with forest degradation in the southern parts of the site. In addition to human activities, natural factors such as low levels of elevation and degrees of slope are associated with forest degradation at the site. However, in the northwest and southwest of the site, high degrees of slope are associated with the degradation. Our findings showed that while bare land surface encroached the primary forest with about 2.88%, moorland vegetation encroached the primary forest with about 16.95%, indicating a large degradation of the primary forest with about 19.83% for the past four decades. The information provided in this study is crucial to support site managers and decision-makers in strategic policies and WHC implementations on forest protection for natural heritage sustainability.

Authors: Al-Shawia Mojahed Abdullah A. , Abdullah Qais Yusuf M.
Published: October 2022

Regular blood transfusion is one of the most important and emergency treatment methods for thalassemia patients. This category of patients is considered sensitive to infection because their continued survival is linked to blood transfusion, and therefore the possibility of infection is great, especially in light of the war and the deterioration of health services in Yemen. Among this infection is the hepatitis B virus, which causes serious complications such as acute hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of the study was done to determine incidence of hepatitis B virus and risk factors among Multi-Transfused Beta Thalassemia Patients attending at The Yemeni Society for Thalassemia and Genetic Blood Disorder (YSTGBD) Sana'a –Yemen. This study was conducted during the period from January 2021 to December 2021, during which 200 Blood samples were collected from beta thalassemia patients attending at (YSTGBD). All samples were examined using the ECLIA technique, during which the basic information was collected through special questionnaires for this purpose. The rate of incidence by HBsAg in all study samples was determined to be 7(3.5%). The study showed that there was a statistically significant relationship between infection with the hepatitis B virus and the age group of more than 10 years age (P = 0.042), in addition to that number of blood transfusions received by HBsAg positive was significantly higher than that of HBsAg negative thalassemia patients (P = 0.022).

Published: October 2022

This paper studies the effect of the wave function parameters on the density of  87Rb atoms laser. The density equation has been derived through the use of Thomas-Fermi approximation, Green function and the stationary phase approximations. We investigated the change of density behavior with the effect of Rabi frequency, period of output coupling and detuning frequency. Consequently the number of released atoms can be controlled by determining the suitable parameters necessary for producing the best atom laser beam.
IMPLICATIONS OF MANTLE XENOLITHS IN THE PLIOCENE-QUATERNARY BASALTS FROM THE SHAWRAN CRATER, BIR ALI AREA, YEMEN
Authors: Habtoor Abdelmonem M. , Al-Akhaly Ibrahim A. , Lashdaf Ali S.
Published: October 2022

Mantle xenoliths in basalt and tuffaceous volcanoes at the Shawran Crater, Bir Ali area, along the southeastern coast of Yemen are very useful to elucidate the nature of the lithospheric mantle beneath the area, which is characterised by rift tectonic activity and volcanism during the Pliocene–Quaternary period. The studied mantle xenoliths are mostly fresh showing igneous textures and composed mainly of spinel harzburgite and lherzolite, in addition to, less prominently, dunite. Spinel harzburgite and lherzolite are holocrystalline with abundant granular spinel that occurs interstitially to olivine, orthopyroxene, and clinopyroxene. The forsterite content of olivine is high (Fo89–91) attesting its mantle residue origin. Orthopyroxene is mostly enstatite (En89–92), and clinopyroxene is diopsidic in composition (Wo24–47En49–52 Fs2–4). Spinel Cr# (Cr/(Cr + Al) is distinguishable between lherzolites (Cr# = 0.12–0.15) and harzburgites (Cr# = 0.20–0.31). The calculated oxygen fugacity (logfO2) of the studied lherzolites (−1.76 to −0.20) and harzburgite (−2.7 to −0.98) xenoliths, and their equilibration temperature (~ 820–1,145°C) at about 1.5 GPa pressure, along with their mineralogical and petrological characteristics, are all support their evolution by mixed enrichment from a fertile and depleted asthenospheric mantle beneath the Bir Ali area.

يتناول هذا البحث تحقيق صفحات من معجم مفقود ودراستها، موسوم بـ(مُعجَم الجُموع)، أو (الصَّرْح المُمَرَّد في جُموع المُفرَد)، لمؤلِّفه الحضرمي (محمد بن أحمد بن عمر بن يحيى العلوي) المولود في (1320هـ=1902م)، والمتوفَّى في (1354هـ= 1935م).ومن خلال تأمُّل المادة اللغوية للمعجم، وموازنتها بـ(المُعجَم المفصَّل في الجموع) لأمِيل بديع يعقوب، تبيَّن أنَّ (معجم الجموع) فاق قرينه، في اتساع محتوى مقدمة معجمه، من حيث عدد صفحاته، المشار إليها في فهرس موضوعاته، وكثرة مباحثه ومسائله الصرفيَّة، وأصوله اللغويَّة، والضوابط المنهجيَّة الصارمة، التي اتبعها في جمع مادته المعجميَّة، وبذل الجهد الكبير في استقصاء ألفاظ الجموع المُحتمَلَة للألفاظ المفردة، المذكورة في صفحات معجمه، سواء الأسماء منها أو الصفات.ويمكن القول: إنَّ معجمه هذا يمثِّل،من منظور اللسانيَّات المُعجمِيَّة، أنموذجًا متقدِّمًا من معاجم المفردات، التي أُلِّفَتْ في النصف الأول من القرن العشرين، والذي اتَّخذ فيه مؤلِّفُه منهجًا فريدًا، لم يسبقه فيه أحد من المُعجَميِّين المُحدَثِين، في صناعته؛ بحيث خصَّصه بالبحث في ألفاظ جموع المفرد المستعملة في لغة العرب.

AStudy on the Appearance and Background of Ancient Tombs in Ulleung Island
Authors:   Yeongnam Archaeological Review, Kim Gyu un , Kim Gun woo
Published: October 2022

In Ulleungdo Island, it can be confirmed that there was an umbrella soup in ancient times through the article on the conquest of Isabu in 512. However, there is no archaeological evidence yet to prove Usanguk. Archaeological data identified in the earliest period of Ulleungdo Island are tombs.
We organized the current status of tombs mainly with Hoenghyeol-style stone chamber as the main body of burial, and approached why such tombs emerged, and what was the background of Silla's conquest of Usanguk. First of all, tombs built on Ulleungdo Island can be divided into three stages, and the middle of the 6th century was assumed to be the upper limit based on Silla earthenware, and the second stage was assumed to be from the late 7th century and the 3rd stage to the 9th to 10th centuries.
In terms of which area the Ulleung-do tomb was affected, it was mainly mentioned as the inland area, Gangwon, or Donghae area in northern Gyeongsangbuk-do, and suggested a relationship with Uljin Deokcheon-ri tomb in that it had a three-sided floor higher than the ground.
Although the tomb was built in 512 due to Silla's influence, it is believed that the tomb was built in the mid- to late 6th century to check Goguryeo and Japan's use of the East Coast route, as shown in the records of Japanese archipelago Samru Hwandudae and Goguryeo envoys.
Classification and Development of Bottle Caps in Unified Silla
Authors:   Yeongnam Archaeological Review, Lee Gyeong Hee
Published: October 2022

The use of the lid would have been essential in that the bottle is a container for storing or transporting the contents. However, unlike the Gobae and Hap lid of Silla, which are often used as the basis for historical records, there has been an aspect that has not been mentioned abou“t Iyeong-gae(lid with unusual shape)”as a bottle cap. In this paper categorized bell-shaped lids and disk-shaped lids with high frequency of excavation among the variant lids often found in set relationships with bottles and assigned temporality to each. In addition, the correlation with the Silla bottles was investigated by paying attention to the formal changes in Iyeong-gae. Accordingly, the development patterns of Iyeong-gae of the Unified Silla were divided into three stages.
The first stage (mid/late 6th century ~ mid 7th century) is the appearance period of a bottle cap, and it is the time when the disk-shaped lids aperars along with the formation of attached rim. The second stage (late 7th century to mid 8th century) is the transition period of a bottle cap, and it is a time when it transitions from diskshaped lids to bell-shaped lids with the advent of small bottles. The third stage (late 8th century to 10th century) is the spread period of a bottle cap, and it is a time when the use of bell-shaped lids is expanded to special class spaces due to the fashion of small bottles. This overall change shows that Iyeong-gae is changing together according to the development of the bottles.
Manchetes Jornalísticas Sobre Violência Contra Mulheres: Análise Da Multifuncionalidade Do Conector “E”
Authors: Tomazi Micheline Mattedi , Ximenes Cunha Gustavo
Published: October 2022

Neste artigo temos por objetivo tratar do uso e da funcionalidade que o conector “e” assume em manchetes jornalísticas, partindo do pressuposto de que ele pode assumir valores causais, adversativos e temporais, dependendo da natureza das sentenças que articula. Utilizamos como aporte teórico contribuições de autores que tratam do conector “e” e de conectores que, em línguas como o inglês, o francês e o espanhol, se aproximam do “e”, priorizando trabalhos que se voltam para sua multifuncionalidade. Para a análise do uso do conector em manchetes, publicadas nos jornais do Espírito Santo A Tribuna (AT) e A Gazeta (AG), utilizamos um corpus de 115 notícias em que o conector “e” é empregado. Os resultados revelam que, nas manchetes em que duas proposições são articuladas pelo conector “e”, a operação que se privilegia é a de considerar o evento expresso na sentença que antecede o conector como sendo não só cronologicamente anterior ao evento expresso na segunda, mas ainda como sua causa. Nesses casos, o que se observou foi que, em geral, a primeira ação é realizada pela mulher, ao passo que a segunda é realizada pelo homem e sofrida pela mulher. Nessas ocorrências, a ação da mulher justifica uma ação consequente do homem. Com base nas análises dessas manchetes, foi possível constatar que, por meio da articulação de informações do conector “e”, há uma tentativa de justificar a violência sofrida pelas mulheres.

A partir de uma pesquisa experimental, analisamos estatisticamente 532 sons, de 20 entrevistas de fala espontânea com professores brasileiros de espanhol LE do Estado do Rio de Janeiro aplicando a metodologia do teste bicaudal t de Student. Os resultados obtidos de maneira estatística e percentual apontam para a existência de um som híbrido que corresponderia a uma espécie de dobradiça entre a realização dos alofones de /b d g/ no espanhol LE dos nossos informantes e os dados estândares, obtidos na bibliografia consultada, destes mesmos sons para o espanhol LM.
A Ausência Como Presença:Uma Discussão Sobre O Dispositivo Pronominal Trinitário
Authors: Rodrigues da Silva André
Published: October 2022

Neste artigo, me proponho a discutir e refletir sobre o dispositivo trinitário pronominal de Dany-Robert Dufour, a fim de pensar o seu uso na análise do texto literário. Com isso, utilizaram-se excertos da obra O Estrangeiro (1942), de Albert Camus, a fim de pensar na reversibilidade pronominal, o eu e o tu, diante da oposição que se instaura ao ele, no texto literário. Dividida em duas partes, O Estrangeiro traz Meursault, que sofre uma reviravolta em sua vida após cometer um assassinato no final da primeira parte do livro. A partir disso, na segunda parte, Meursault se vê cada vez mais distante do seu lugar no discurso, fora da reversibilidade entre eu-tu, na medida em que ele é relegado ao papel de não-pessoa, o ele. Pretendo, portanto, mostrar como a ausência re-presentada nesse campo discursivo da reversibilidade, pode ser caracterizada como uma presença desse ausente, o ele, a partir de Dufour (2000), na instância discursiva e intersubjetivante entre os falantes eu-tu, assim como trazer um ponto de vista particular para a análise da obra, mostrando o personagem-narrador em meio à alternância pronominal instaurada na obra de Camus.
Entre-Línguas-Culturas:Língua Portuguesa ∞ Língua Indígena
Authors: De Aguiar Gabriele , Derlise St¨¨ube Angela
Published: October 2022

RESUMO: Este artigo objetiva analisar representações de línguas (portuguesa e indígena) que emergem nas redações de sujeitos indígenas participantes do Programa de Acesso e Permanência dos Povos Indígenas (PIN) da Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul (UFFS). Com isso, foram selecionadas algumas sequências discursivas de redações elaboradas no PIN-UFFS (seletivos de 2015 e de 2018), as quais, por meio de regularidades discursivas, nos possibilitaram compor nosso gesto interpretativo. Situamo-nos na perspectiva discursiva-desconstrutivista, com autores que dedicam seus esforços a questões de língua e identidade como Pêcheux (2010), Coracini (2007) Lacan (2005) e Derrida (2001). Ao observar a vinda de alunos indígenas para a UFFS, nos levou a questionar como a língua e, consequentemente a identidade, desses sujeitos são afetadas ao necessitarem adequar-se ao lugar historicamente pertencente ao não-indígena: a universidade. Entendemos que isso pode produzir o apagamento das línguas indígenas. Os resultados apontam para uma ruptura em relação à língua materna do indígena e um conflito em estar entre-línguas-culturas (língua portuguesa ∞ indígena).
