Meditating Masculine Anxiety and (Post) Colonial Space in Lubis's Harimau! Harimau! and Patterson's Man-Eaters of Tsavo
Authors: Hidayatullah Danial
Published: March 2024

This research is aimed at probing and comparing the masculine anxiety in colonial spaces of Lubis’s Harimau! Harimau! and Patterson’s The Man-eaters of Tsavo investigate similarities and diﬀerences between the subject position, the psychological impacts, and the psychic discourse of colonized and colonizer’s masculinities and male anxiety in terms of the colonial narrative. This comparison is essential for the subject position, and the psyche in the colonial narrative is claimed to be universal, which is not entirely true. Connell’s theory of masculinity is applied to investigate how the values of masculinity shape colonial experiences. This research employs a narratological method - employing the concept of focalization to scrutinize how the subject who see exercise the power of seeing and eventually constructing the subject position and the psyche of colonized and colonizer - psychoanalytic as well as postcolonial reading to reveal the psychological impact - of the character’s anxiety. The results are: 1) In both stories, the colonial settings are portrayed similarly even though the writers of the two stories came from diﬀerent continents (West and East). 2) In a hostile colonial setting, the colonizer and the colonized are constructed similarly in dealing with anxiety. However, when colonized are in the subject position, they are constructed as anal-erotic characters or anti-heroes. Simultaneously they are described as devout Moslems. Meanwhile, the European counterpart, although not described as a devout Christian, was the story’s hero. As an Indonesian novel, this marks the point that it falls into Western colonial narratives’ patterns.

Published: March 2024

A Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) é uma modalidade de ensino que tem o propósito de levar cidadania aqueles que não tiveram acesso à educação na idade correta. Esse trabalho investigou as dificuldades de alguns professores que atuam/atuaram na EJA, assim como as estratégias metodológicas que eles utilizam/utilizaram com seus alunos e os materiais didáticos que são/foram mais utilizados por eles em sala de aula. Realizou-se uma pesquisa de levantamento, do tipo exploratória, por meio de um questionário eletrônico no Google Forms, com participação de 23 professores no segundo semestre de 2020. A análise dos dados foi feita por meio da Análise de Livre Interpretação proposta por Anjos, Rôças e Pereira (2019) que é uma proposta metodológica amparada na análise dos dados das pesquisas com abordagem qualitativa. Os resultados mostraram que é perceptível o impacto da ausência de um material didático direcionador, o qual existe, mas não é totalmente disponibilizado ao público da EJA estudado. Percebemos que a realidade de muitos professores ainda está longe da necessária para exercer sua função de mediar a transformação pela educação na EJA.
Breaking through the doors of perception, consciousness, and existence: to what extent does psychedelic phenomenology ontologically depend on external factors?
Authors: Fradkin Denis
Published: March 2024

As reliable facilitators of characteristically unique altered states of consciousness that are notoriously difficult to comprehend, psychedelics naturally attract a multidisciplinary scope for their research, with direct relevance to neuroscience, pharmacology, psychology, as well as philosophy of mind, metaphysics, and epistemology — disciplines united by the common inquiry into the nature of conscious experience. Accordingly, the central focus of this paper concerns the metaphysical debate between internalism and externalism about whether psychedelic phenomenology — in particular, its ‘breakthrough’ level — could be said to directly ontologically depend on external factors, as well as the interpretive implications arising from each of those positions. The main contributions of the author of this paper include the provision of a coherent account of the essential phenomenal characteristics of psychedelic experiences, the integration of relatively fragmented philosophical debates on psychedelic phenomenology into the traditional internalist-externalist framework in metaphysics, as well as the exploration of the extent to which the externalist position on psychedelic phenomenology — traditionally associated with non-naturalism — is compatible with naturalistic explanatory frameworks. In Part 1, psychedelic phenomenology will be outlined first, after which the central inquiries of this paper will be contextualised and qualified. In Part 2, the internalist position on psychedelic phenomenology — both its strong and weak versions — will be discussed. In Part 3, the externalist position will be explored, which will be followed by a final evalutation between the three positions presented in this paper. The paper will conclude in favour of the weak internalist position, and that whilst the externalist position remains significantly more speculative than both the strong and the weak internalist positions, the externalist position cannot be rejected altogether until further progress in consciousness research is made.
Purée! Joël Robuchon (1945–2018)
Authors: Hyman Philip
Published: March 2024

When it was announced that Joël Robuchon died on 6th of August, one word was on every ones lips, ‘purée.’ French slang similar to ‘darn’ or ‘shoot’ in English, it is more commonly used as shorthand, for ‘purée de pommes de terre’ – mashed potatoes. This article looks at what made the Robuchon purée a sensation at the time (1980s).

This note has two objectives. One is to offer a better understanding of some kitchen-related passages in a popular medieval narrative lay concerned with a male Cinderella who gains his rightful kingdom. The other relates to the editing and translating of historical texts in which, despite the refinements of our critical approaches as concerns underlying ideologies, socio-economic realities, the ethics and aesthetics of other ages, implicit cultural understanding, and the like, there is often only a general sense of what some details of everyday life were really like.

Authors: Bui Duy Du , Nguyen Trong Hoanh Phong , Tuan Le Nghiem Anh , Tran Phuoc Tho , Nguyen Quoc Hien
Published: March 2024

Nano ZnO/chitosan oligosaccharide (ZnO/COS) and nano ZnO/chitosan oligosaccharide-iodine complex (ZnO/COS-I2) prepared in this study are new materials consisting of ZnO nanoparticles (12.3 - 15.0 nm) dispersed in COS and COS-I2 solutions. Both ZnO/COS and ZnO/COS-I2 nanomaterials have the ability to resist Pantoea stewartii (P. stewartii) causes jackfruit bronzing bacterium. The COS with a low molecular weight (Mw) of 3,320 g/mol has the main advantage that is completely soluble in both acidic and alkaline mediums to pH 9. The characterizations of materials nanomaterials were determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results of the in vitro test against P. stewartii of ZnO/COS-I2 nanomaterial showed that the antibacterial efficacy is 100% at 500 ppm of active ingredient concentration. The studied results also confirmed that nano ZnO/COS-I2 nanomaterial has the ability to inhibit bacteria higher than that nano ZnO/COS nanomaterial. Therefore, the ZnO/COS-I2 nanomaterial has great potential to use as an effective agent to control the serious damage jackfruit bronzing bacterium and has no specific treatment.
THERMAL CONVECTION OF A FERROFLUID WITH THE EFFECT OF HELICAL FORCE: WEAKLY NONLINEAR THEORY
Authors: Sharathkumar Reddy Jagathpally , Kishan N. , Reddy G. Shiva Kumar , Ragoju Ravi
Published: March 2024

The onset of convection in a horizontal layer with a binary ferrofluid has been numerically investigated. The normal mode technique was employed to derive the non-dimensional governing equations, leading to an eigenvalue problem. Neutral stability curves were generated using various physical parameters to illustrate stability characteristics. The impact of magnetic field parameters M1, M2, M3, and ψm, along with the helical force parameter S and separation ratio parameter ψ, was examined on the stability system. An amplitude equation was derived to analyze heat transport through convection. Additionally, an increase in ψm resulted in a corresponding increase in the Nusselt number, indicating that higher values of ψm enhance heat transport.
Effects of vegetation growth on soil microstructure and hydro-mechanical behaviour
Authors: Fraccica Alessandro , Romero Enrique , Fourcaud Thierry
Published: March 2024

Literature studies are presenting counterposed effects of vegetation on soil hydraulic behaviour. Besides, root impacts at the micro-scale are rarely correlated to phenomenological observations due to the complexity of adopting up-scaling factors. In this study, the microstructural causes behind observed changes in vegetated compacted clayey sand’s hydraulic and volume change behaviour were explored. Laboratory experiments were carried out on compacted samples seeded with Cynodon dactylon. Significant changes in soil water-saturated permeability, water retention and shrinkage upon drying were observed after root growth. Laboratory measurements were complemented by the quantification of root morphological features and observations at the micro-scale for different soil hydraulic states. X-ray scans and mercury intrusion porosimetry allowed to cover seven orders of magnitude of pore sizes, shedding light on soil fabric changes at the soil–root interface and the clay aggregate scale. The effects of roots on the soil pore size distribution consisted of Multiphysics phenomena: fissure generation, void clogging and soil aggregation due to roots’ chemical interaction. Furthermore, a good correlation was found between the normalised volume of roots and the micro-pores volume. This new expression was included in a framework to predict soil water retention behaviour considering the aggregated structure and soil–root hydro-chemical interactions.
Respaldarnos. Recursos y emociones en los cuidados comunitarios durante la pandemia: el caso de La Merced en la Ciudad de México
Authors: Villanueva Gutiérrez Eva María
Published: March 2024

Este artículo explora algunas de las condiciones que posibilitan la existencia de cuidados comunitarios en contextos urbanos marcados por fuertes desigualdades sociales y violencias. Específicamente retomo las prácticas alimentarias de entrega de víveres y comida que brindaron durante la pandemia una colectiva autogestiva y comerciantes del barrio de La Merced, en la Ciudad de México. La reflexión la sitúo en los estudios sociales del cuidado en diálogo con el feminismo, la sociología de las emociones y el enfoque de desigualdades. El material empírico que recupero deriva de entrevistas a profundidad, observación en línea y análisis documental. Los resultados muestran que estas prácticas se amplían en periodos críticos como el COVID-19, pero que están diseminadas en el continuum de tiempo. Aparecen la presencia de enojo frente a la deficiencia del Estado y la confianza y el orgullo en el barrio como elementos que contribuyen al despliegue de cuidados. A su vez, sobresale la movilización de recursos territoriales, económicos, de tiempo y afectivos en sectores populares para mantener las acciones colectivas desarrolladas. Este trabajo busca abonar a la discusión sobre cómo se cuida y sostiene la vida desde el ámbito comunitario en contextos urbanos del Sur Global.

Published: March 2024

В данном исследовании предлагается подход к оценке динамики распространенности потребления табачной и никотинсодержащей продукции в России в разрезе возраста, пола и регионов страны. Источником данных служат базы микроданных Выборочного наблюдения состояния здоровья населения Росстата, проведенного в 2019-2022 гг. Оценка динамики показателей распространенности потребления табачной и никотинсодержащей продукции основана на анализе трендов, полученных с помощью линейной аппроксимации временных рядов данных во всех необходимых разрезах. Направление и темпы (интенсивность) трендов оценивали по коэффициентам построенных линейных моделей, а их статистическую значимость – по значению коэффициента детерминации.

В целом по стране 2019-2022 гг. можно охарактеризовать как период сокращения доли населения, потребляющего табачные и/или никотинсодержащие изделия. При этом имели место две противоположных по направлению тенденции: снижение распространенности потребления курительного табака и рост распространенности потребления электронных сигарет. Причем если первое наблюдалось преимущественно среди мужчин, то рост распространенности потребления электронных сигарет был сопоставимым среди обоих полов.

В ряде регионов, а также некоторых группах населения рост доли лиц, использующих электронные сигареты, оказался по интенсивности выше, чем снижение распространенности курительного табака, из-за чего распространенность потребления табака/никотина в этих группах населения и регионах в целом росла.

Проведенное исследование позволило выявить регионы страны с неблагоприятной динамикой распространенности потребления табачной и никотинсодержащей продукции, в которых необходима разработка и внедрение дополнительных мер по снижению распространенности потребления табака/никотина, в том числе направленных на конкретные группы населения.

“WE WON’T BE DIVIDED, WE STAND UNITED!” MOVEMENTS’ PROTEST CLAIMS ON SOCIAL MEDIA
Authors: Staes Luna
Published: March 2024

For social movement organizations to create impact, broadcasting the dWUNCness (diversity, worthiness, unity, numbers, and commitment) of protest is crucial. Public representations of dWUNC are inherent to social movements’ existence and increase the legitimacy of their acts. However, to what extent do social movement organizations claim dWUNC? Which dWUNC elements do they focus on? And, which protest and social movement features explain their dWUNC claims? In this study, I analyze Twitter and Facebook messages (N = 2,849) of social movement organizations (N = 186) about street protests (N = 232) staged in Brussels (Belgium). Descriptives show that in 67.7% (N =1,929) of their online protest messages, social movements speak in terms of dWUNC. Unity was frequently claimed, and dWUNC was communicated differently across social media platforms. Explanatory analyses show that social movements display dWUNC in and outside the boundaries of protest reality. Findings reveal the outcome of movements’ protest communication strategy in today's digital media landscape.
WHEN BLACK MOVEMENTS MATTER: CONTROLLING IMAGES AND BLACK LIVES MATTER PROTESTS IN MEDIA ATTENTION TO U.S. POLICE KILLINGS
Authors: Lu Todd
Published: March 2024

This study investigates how the portrayal of Black criminality influences Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests and media attention to police-related deaths of Black individuals. While prior work examined how media norms, political contexts, and movement infrastructure influence media attention, little research has questioned whether the perceived worthiness of movement's claims shapes the capacity of protests to direct attention. Applying scholarship of controlling images, I test how victims’ armed status moderates the effect of BLM protests on media attention to Black policing deaths. Negative binomial regression analysis on coverage of 678 Black Americans killed by police from 2014-2016 in over 300 print media indicates local protests directly increased attention to nearby Black Americans but were moderated by armed status. Neither political contexts nor organizational presence influenced attention, suggesting BLM relied on the discursive power of protests. Findings highlight how controlling images and racialized threats influence movements along a matrix of domination.
Hybrid Empirical Ground-Motion Models for the Island of Hawaii Based on an Updated Strong Ground-Motion Database
Authors: Pezeshk Shahram , Davatgari-Tafreshi Mehran , Haji-Soltani Alireza
Published: March 2024

In this study, we develop ground-motion models (GMMs) for the Island of Hawaii. This area has been the site of several significant earthquake events with a growing database of strong ground-motion observations. Ground-motion modeling on the Island of Hawaii is challenging due to different anelastic attenuation characteristics, the volcanic origin of some of the events, and event depth distribution. Only a few GMMs have been developed for the Island of Hawaii. In this study, we apply a hybrid empirical method (HEM) to develop two separate GMMs for shallow (hypocentral depth ≤ 20 km) and deep (hypocentral depth > 20 km) earthquakes on the Island of Hawaii. We utilize the ratio of the stochastic point-source model in the target and host regions as an appropriate adjustment factor. We apply these adjustment factors to convert the GMMs from the host (western North America) to the target (Island of Hawaii) region. We considered five GMMs proposed in the Next Generation Attenuation Phase 2 project by the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center to model ground motions in the host region. We developed GMMs to predict peak ground acceleration and 5%-damped pseudospectral acceleration at periods T = 0.01–10 s, for moment magnitudes (M) in the range of 3–7.5, and for Joyner–Boore distances in the RJB≤200  km range. The applicability of HEM to develop GMMs for the Island of Hawaii and the growing strong ground-motion data result in further improvements in the capability of GMMs.
Molecular regulation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Sigma factor H with Anti-sigma factor RshA under stress condition
Authors: Sen Sayantee , Bhakta Swarnav , Pal Kuntal
Published: March 2024

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the causative agent of tuberculosis, the leading fatal infectious disease that claims millions of lives every year. M. tuberculosis regulates its stress condition response using its regulatory protein, Sigma Factor H, which binds with its cognate anti-sigma factor RshA in normal conditions, forming a complex inhibiting transcription. During oxidative stress, SigH is released from the complex and binds to RNA Polymerase (RNAP) to initiate transcription. Thus, it is important to understand the molecular conformational state of SigH in complex with different protein partners under different cellular or environmental contexts. This work intends to analyze the SigH-RshA complex, which revealed the variation in SigH shown during complex formation with RNAP and RshA, respectively. Previously, Hydrogen Deuterium Exchange-Mass Spectrometry (HDX-MS) analysis of SigH-RshA interaction provided a detailed insight into the critical residues participating in the interaction. The HDX-MS data were used to dock RshA on the open conformation of SigH from the SigH-RNAP complex structure (PDB: 5ZX2), and closed conformation was obtained from protein modelling. The docking revealed that closed conformation of SigH complexing with RshA in terms of HDX-MS data revealed a major structural shift in SigH while interacting with two different binding partners, RshA and RNAP, under variable environmental conditions. This structural shift of SigH with RshA and RNAP has significance in understanding the stress response of M. tuberculosis, and SigH could prove to be a potential drug target.
Su Ürünlerinin Endüstri-İçi Ticaretinin Analizi: Türkiye Örneği
Authors: AYDEMİR Muhammed Fatih
Published: March 2024

Su ürünleri sektörü; tüketim açısından nüfusun artışının devam etmesi, ülkelerin gelir düzeylerinde görülen artışlar, sağlıklı beslenmeye yönelik artan eğilim, üretim bakımından ise su ürünlerinde depolama ve ulaşım olanaklarının gelişmesi ile ülke ekonomileri açısından önemli bir sektör haline gelmiştir. Türkiye’nin su ürünleri ihracatı başta olmak üzere dış ticaretinde son yıllarda önemli bir büyüme yaşanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’nin dış ticaret yaptığı ülkeler ile su ürünleri sektörü endüstri-içi ticaretinin analiz edilmesidir. Bu kapsamda TÜİK’ten 2010-2022 dönemi için su ürünleri 4 ve 6 haneli HS (Harmonize Sistem) kodlu ürün grupları dış ticaret verileri, Grubel-Lloyd endeksi ile analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın bulgularına göre, Türkiye’nin su ürünleri dış ticaretinde EİT düzeyinin düşük olduğu saptanmıştır. Dolayısıyla su ürünleri dış ticaretinde, ihracatın ithalattan fazla olduğu dikkate alındığında, ihracat yönlü endüstriler-arası şekli öne çıkmaktadır. Aynı zamanda ham su ürünleri ve işlenmiş su ürünlerinde de EİT’in düşük olduğu gözlenmiştir. Bu bakımdan ham su ürünlerinde ihracat yönlü, işlenmiş su ürünlerinde ise ithalat yönlü endüstriler-arası ticaret şeklinde dış ticaret yapısının olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Sadece ham su ürünleri içinde yer alan kabuklu hayvanlar ve yumuşakçalar ürün gruplarında EİT düzeyinin yüksek olduğu görülmüştür.

Published: March 2024

This paper proposed to use the impinging jets mixing process to improve the quality of residential heating and air conditioning. The main objective is to meet the requirements of occupants in terms of thermal comfort and air quality by proposing an optimal solution for the thermal homogenization improvement in the rooms by changing of the diffusers geometry and their arrangement in the ventilation and air-conditioning devices in blowing systems. This study involves both experimental and numerical studies of a three diffusers configurations composed of four peripheral jet with similar geometries and a central jet with a different geometry. All the configurations consist of four equidistant peripheral swirling jets, only the central jet that makes the difference between them. The configuration 1 includes a swirling central jet, on the other hand a circular central jet for the configuration 2 and finally a lobed central jet for configuration 3. The velocity and temperature distributions of the three configurations are investigated experimentally and numerically. Experimentally, the multifunction thermo-anemometer have been used to measure flow temperature and velocity. The dynamic and temperature features are more radially spread and get better homogeneity in configuration 3 and this is due to the energy distribution on the radial plane, which is relatively better than configuration 1 and configuration 2. The second part deals with numerical predictions of the dynamics and thermal fields of the three configurations considered. The study was realized using a RANS-based turbulence model. The numerical results are in reasonable agreement with our experiments for the three configurations. With this study, detailed information on the structure of the resulting flow is very useful to deepen the understanding of the physics of jet interaction and to validate turbulence models. The turbulence simulation is realized by the k-ω-SST model. This model gives a satisfactorily predicts the axial drop in velocity and temperature over the entire study range, demonstrating its ability to handle the interaction between swirling and lobe jets. Our results show that the geometry of the central diffuser is essential. This allows the axial velocity to decrease faster than configurations 1 and 2. This increases lateral diffusion, resulting in better homogenization.

In this research, thermal of level comfort and air quality indoor were examined for different numbers of persons (occupants’ density) within a (3m × 2.5m × 2.5 m) office room. The office room is equipped with mixing ventilation system, temperature and air speed (17°C) and (2.5 m/s) respectively. The results of experimental experiments and results were compared with computational fluid-dynamics (CFD) analysis utilizing the turbulent (RNG, k-epsilon) model on a thermal manikin that represents a person’s body in a standing and sitting and position. The experimental study focused on measuring the velocity, air temperature, and carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in different areas indoor the room, in addition to taking measurements around the heat manikins and in the breathing area. When analyzing numerical data, thermal of level comfort was assessed by air diffusion of performance Index (ADPI), predicted of percentage dissatisfied (PPD), and predicted of mean vote (PMV). The results indicate that thermal comfort and indoor air quality decline with more persons. Where the values of (ADPI), (PPD) and (PMV) change from (76.55 %), (6.325 %) and (0.021) to (64.25 %), (10.412 %) and (0.52) respectively, when the number of persons in the room increased from (two persons) to (four persons).
