Study on "Teachers’ Voice" in China during the Past 40 Years
Authors: Chang Xiaoling
Published: March 2022

Teachers are an ancient profession, imparting knowledge and preaching morality with words, sounds and actions. Voice is a basic tool for teachers to carry out their professional functions. As an academic object with both instrumentality and purpose, "teacher's voice" is different from ordinary voice application because of the professional characteristics of teacher's work and the individuality of voice expression. Therefore, the knowledge and research of "teacher’s voice" can become a systematic academic object or research topic. This is the basis of the thesis. At present, there are few academic reviews on this topic, which is the origin of this topic.
A Comparative Analysis of the Image of Ah Q and Falstaff in the Cultural Perspective
Authors: Wei Luxin
Published: March 2022

In the connotation of the characters of Ah Q and Falstaff, both of them show a comedic and laughter-inducing quality, and trigger the aesthetic pleasure of readers' contemptuous ridicule of "ugliness", but there are still significant differences in their comic expressions, which are closely related to the authors' own cultural sphere and the social reality in which they live. Therefore, this paper tries to compare the differences between Ah Q and Falstaff's characters in the cultural context, arguing that the two characters present the colors of joy in sorrow and sorrow in joy, and then return to the cultural reflection of the two authors and the discussion of the need to reconstruct the cultural psychology of society from anthropological ontology.
Causality and Critical Thinking: Illicit Economy and Fragile State
Authors: Hou Jingyao
Published: March 2022

This paper seeks to address a two-sided question of the state illicit economy: can the illicit economy, which is undoubtedly harmful to the state, also be a beneficial enabler. The prevailing view is affirmative. The answer in this paper is negative. Focusing on the regions and countries around the world where the illicit economy has proliferated over the past three decades, this paper examines how it has been destroying state authority over time. Meanwhile, this paper critically thinks the dominant view that “the illicit economy can help national policy development, and that marginalised groups in the global South can use it to access markets”, and suggests that states that abuse the illicit economy are simply quenching thirst with poison. This paper also fills a research gap on the causality between the illicit economy and “fragile” states, which until then had not been associated with the illicit economy. The causes of what constitutes a “fragile” state were generally associated with violent conflict, services, regulation and human security.

Authors: Peng Chenyang
Published: March 2022

As an anomaly in the capital market, the frequent occurrence of domestic and foreign stock price crashes can bring great impact on the stability of the market and economic development. The causes have also become an important topic of research for scholars, and this paper uses data of A-share listed companies of China in 2018 to study the impact of financing constraints on the risk of stock price crashes. The results show that the degree of financing constraints is significantly and negatively related to the risk of stock price collapse, i.e., the higher the degree of financing constraints, the lower the risk of stock price collapse. The findings can not only enrich the literature on stock price crash risk, financing constraints and other related fields, but also have important reference value for reducing stock price crash risk and promoting the healthy and stable development of China's capital market.
Otpornost na nasilni ekstremizam u Srbiji: slučaj Sandžaka
Authors: Petrovic Predrag , Ignjatijevic Marija
Published: March 2022

Mnogi stručnjaci su imali sumorne prognoze o nasilnom islamističkom ekstremizmu i terorizmu u Srbiji. Sandžak – jugozapadni region Srbije naseljen većinski muslimanskim stanovništvom, čak je nazvan uporištem džihadista, budući da je bio središte za dalje širenje ultrakonzervativnog selefizma iz susedne Bosne u Srbiju, kao i region odakle su vrbovani borci za odlazak na sirijsko ratište. Među najuticajnijim militantnim selefijskim vođama u Beču, koji su imali jake veze sa Islamskom državom, bilo je i pojedinaca iz Sandžaka. Međutim, uprkos ovim predviđanjima i prisustvu faktora i uslova koji podstiču nastanak i širenje ekstremizma, Sandžak se pokazao veoma otpornim na nasilni islamstički ekstremizam. U poređenju sa drugim zemljama Zapadnog Balkana, iz Srbije se relativno mali broj ljudi pridružio militantnim islamističkim grupama u Siriji, njih 49, uključujući i žene i decu. Uz to, u Srbiji je zabeleženo tek nekoliko incidenata i neuspelih terorističkih napada u koje su bili umešani militantni selefije. Lokalna zajednica u Sandžaku pokazala je otpornost na nasilni ekstremizam ali i na širenje ultrakonzervativnog učenja o islamu. U ovom radu najpre opisujemo najvažnije slučajeve i incidente koje su izazvali ekstremisti, a potom mapiramo i analiziramo faktore radikalizacije u Sandžaku. Drugi deo rada posvećen je razumevanju ključnih faktora otpornosti na nasilni ekstremizam u Sandžaku. Desničarski ekstremizam u Srbiji analiziramo u kontekstu recipročne radikalizacije, odnosno samo kao mogući faktor koji podstiče rast islamističkog ekstremizma. Rad je zasnovan na opsežnom terenskom istraživanju u Beogradu, Novom Pazaru, Sjenici i Tutinu, sprovedenom od jula do septembra 2021. godine, tokom koga je obavljeno ukupno 25 intervjua.

Authors: . Widodo , Hamzani Achmad Irwan , Sudewo Fajar Ari
Published: March 2022

Eradication of corruption requires cooperation between state institutions. The weakness of criminal law settlement does not return state losses. There is a Cooperation Agreement between the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Indonesian National Police (Polri), and the Prosecutor's Office regarding the handling of public reports on allegations of corruption in local governments. The purpose of this study is to analyze the handling of corruption cases based on positive Indonesian law and the obstacles faced by law enforcement officers in implementing the cooperation agreement between the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Prosecutor's Office, and the National Police against Article 4 of the Corruption Eradication Act. The approach used in this research is the legal approach. This research data collection technique was carried out through conventional literature searches and online. The data analysis technique used in this study is qualitative because the data is presented in a narrative-descriptive manner. The results of the study indicate that law enforcement for criminal acts of corruption is carried out by the Corruption Eradication Commission based on the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 30 of 2002. The Indonesian National Police based on the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 2 of 2002 and the Criminal Procedure Code has the authority to conduct investigations and investigations in special criminal cases. corruption. The Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 16 of 2004 has explicitly stated that the Prosecutor's Office has the authority to investigate criminal acts of corruption. The authority to adjudicate cases of criminal acts of corruption is regulated in the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 46 of 2009. The Cooperation Agreement between the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Police, and the Prosecutor's Office hampers the law enforcement process carried out by the Police and the Prosecutor's Office in processing suspected perpetrators of corruption. Every report of corruption from the public is not immediately followed up by the Police and the Prosecutor's Office as law enforcement officers. The case was first examined by the government's internal supervisory apparatus. With the cooperation agreement, law enforcement officers cannot follow up on reports and evidence.

Authors: Zapata Contreras Lorena , Páez Jiménez Jenny Andrea , Castro González Juan Sebastián , Villada Duque Andrés
Published: March 2022

By November 2021, at the time of preparing this article, the disease caused by the new coronavirus (Coronavirus Disease 2019 - COVID-19), declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020, had affected more than 128 million people and claimed upwards of 5 million lives. Many of the patients who suffered from this disease will need elective procedures, and this will require knowledge on how to perform the surgery, what tests to order and the extent of preoperative optimization. The objective of this work was to conduct a narrative review of the current evidence regarding time to the performance of an elective procedure in a patient who suffered from COVID-19, the preoperative tests that need to be ordered, and the degree of clinical optimization required according to the complexity of the surgery and individual patient clinical condition. A search was conducted in the Pubmed/Medline, Science Direct, OVID and SciELO databases, as well as in the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) web-based platforms. Although the evidence is still limited, different scientific societies have issued relevant guidelines pertaining to the timing of an elective procedure after COVID-19 infection. For patients who were asymptomatic, the time is 4 weeks after the initial diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2, whereas for symptomatic patients with a mild to moderate course, the time is at least 7 weeks, and 12 weeks if ICU admission was required. There are no guidelines pertaining to preoperative tests or the degree of clinical optimization, although institutional protocols have been developed based on expert consensus on the topic.
Influence of six-step heat treatment on microstructures and mechanical properties of 5160 alloy steel
Authors: APICHAI Pattama
Published: March 2022

AISI 5160 alloy steel grade with complete martensite structure to get the high-strength steel sheets quenched at 900 (Q1), 870 (Q2), 840 (Q3) and 810°C (Q4), respectively and temped at 780°C (Q5) and 680°C (Q6), respectively. The results show ferrite and pearlite microstructural appeared in as-sheet conditions. The strengthening rarely increased with increasing heat treatment steps, while the percentage elongation gradually decreased. The hardness change was secure with that of strengthening for the quenched martensite. In contrast, differences between the initial martensite hardness were no noticeable changes. The Q4 hardening involved the peak hardness and maximum ultimate tensile strength due to carbide distribution in the martensite matrix. The coarse ferrite grains have occurred after Q5 cause significantly reduced hardness and tensile strength. However, the percentage elongation increased with increasing quenching step to Q5 hardening. The excellent 5160 steel performed by Q6 hardening characteristic gained most hardness, ultimate tensile strength, and elongation approximately 60 HRC, 835 MPa, and 12.09%, respectively. Martensite structure transformed to among carbide distribution tempered martensite matrix.

Published: March 2022

Effects of Al addition on a structural phase modification in AlGaN/GaN films on GaAs  substrate grown by MOVPE have been investigated. To examine the effect of Al addition, AlGaN/GaN films were grown with varied a molar flow ratio of TMAl to the total group-III elements of 0, 0.15, and 0.30. Quantity of hexagonal phase incorporation was evaluated by the ratios of integrated XRD intensity of hexagonal  plane to cubic  plane from reciprocal space mappings. The diffraction geometry factor was considered in the calculation. The results suggest that GaN primarily contains a hexagonal phase with a small fraction of a cubic phase (15%). With Al addition, a hexagonal phase inclusion significantly decreased. The fraction of a cubic phase becomes dominant (66%) and overcomes a hexagonal phase inclusion. As a result, with an addition of Al, our result demonstrates a structural phase modification from hexagonal to cubic phases in the AlGaN/GaN films on GaAs . Besides, TEM image and selective area diffraction patterns indicated that the structural phase might transform through stacking faults. Moreover, the area of the flat surface seen from AFM images indicated a cubic  plane, therefore, can briefly comparatively predict the amount of cubic phase in the AlGaN/GaN films.

Published: March 2022

Oil palm frond waste was used as reinforcing fibers for biodegradable poly(lactic acid) or PLA in order to produce green composites that increased the value of agricultural waste. The alkali-treated oil palm frond (OPF) fibers of 30 wt% or 40 wt% were compounded with PLA and moulded into specimens. The alkali treatment was 0 wt%, 1 wt%, 3 wt%, and 5 wt% of the fibers for compatibility improvement with PLA matrix. It was found that the alkali-treated PLA/OPF composites adding 30 wt% and 40 wt% had the flexural modulus to be about 55% and 75% higher than those without the treatment, respectively. Tensile modulus of the composites was also increased. Nevertheless, the higher rigidity composites became more brittle as evident by the fracture toughness testing. The increase of total breaking energy confirmed the better interfacial adhesion between phases as shown in SEM micrographs. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of PLA matrix in the composites was shifted to lower temperature attributed to the thermal degradation of PLA during the melt compounding confirmed by the lower degradation temperature. Increasing the alkali concentration for surface treatment caused the Tg of PLA composites to be higher, supporting that the improvement of interfacial adhesion was achieved.

Published: March 2022

Objectives: This study aims to compare ankle force, mobility, flexibility, and plantar pressure distribution of athletes according to foot posture index (FPI).

Patients and methods: Between September 2016 and May 2018, a total of 70 volunteer male athletes (mean age: 21.1±2.3 years; range, 18 to 25 years) were included. The athletes were divided into three groups according to their FPI as follows: having supinated feet (Group 1, n=16), neutral/normal feet (Group 2, n=36), or pronated feet (Group 3, n=18). Ankle range of motion (ROM), muscle flexibility, ankle joint strength, and plantar pressure distribution were measured.

Results: There were significant differences among the three groups in both right and left ankle dorsiflexion ROM (p=0.009 and p=0.003, respectively). Group 1 had significantly smaller dorsiflexion ROM than the other groups. Group 1 also showed significantly less flexibility in the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles than the other foot posture groups. Groups 2 and 3 exhibited significant differences in the maximum torque (p=0.018), maximum work (p=0.008), and total work (p=0.008) of the right plantar flexor muscles at 60°/sec angular velocity. Peak pressure measurements of the right foot were higher in Group 1, compared to Groups 2 and 3 (p<0.001).

Conclusion: The results of this study may help to enhance athletic performance by providing a guide for designing training programs appropriate for athletes with different foot types to address their specific muscle flexibility and strength deficiencies.

Published: March 2022

Objectives: This study aims to explore the predictive values of serum estradiol, calcium and 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) recurrence in postmenopausal women.

Patients and methods: A total of 156 postmenopausal women (mean age: 59.5±7.4 years; range, 46 to 75 years) diagnosed with primary BPPV between January 2015 and August 2018 were included. After follow-up for one year, they were divided into non-recurrence (n=126) and recurrence groups (n=30). Fifty healthy females (mean age: 60.3±7.4 years; range, 48 to 75 years) with natural menopause for over one year were enrolled as the control group. Serum estradiol, calcium and 25(OH)D levels were compared, and their correlations in the recurrence group were analyzed by Pearson method. The predictive values of these levels for recurrence were evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic curve. Predisposing factors were determined by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.

Results: Serum estradiol, calcium, and 25(OH)D levels of the control group were significantly higher than the non-recurrence and recurrence groups (p<0.05). The levels of recurrence group exceeded those of non-recurrence group (p<0.05). In recurrence group, estradiol level was positively correlated with those of calcium and 25(OH)D (r=0.7501, 0.7871, p<0.001), and calcium level was positively correlated with that of 25(OH)D (r=0.7904, p<0.001). The three levels had diagnostic values for recurrence. The maximum Youden’s index of their combination was 0.476, and the corresponding prognostic index was 13.04, suggesting a higher recurrence probability. Number of repositioning, Self-Rating Depression Scale score, levels of estradiol, calcium and 25(OH)D were predisposing factors for recurrence.

Conclusion: Serum estradiol, calcium, and 25(OH)D levels are significantly positively correlated in postmenopausal women with BPPV recurrence and their combination can be used to predict recurrence.

Published: March 2022

Objectives: The aim of our study was to evaluate oncology physicians’ attitudes and awareness toward recommending exercise to their patients with cancer.

Patients and methods: A total of 86 oncology physicians (52 males, 34 females; mean age: 46.7±10.9 years; range, 26 to 60 years) were included in the study between June 2019 and September 2019. A questionnaire was prepared to evaluate the physicians' perspectives about exercise and it consisted of five main sections including the physician's exercise habits, physicians’ attitudes toward recommending exercise, the effects of exercise on cancer-related symptoms and cancer treatments, whether there was an exercise unit in the hospital, and whether the physician was referring the patients and on which subjects the physicians were willing to receive training.

Results: A total of 87.2% of the physicians recommended exercise to their patients. There were three reasons for physicians who did not recommend exercise: “I don’t have enough training to recommend exercise; I don’t know which type of exercise to recommend; and I don’t know what I should pay attention while recommending exercise.” A total of 83.7% physicians considered that exercise reduced the symptoms associated with cancer. A total of 73.3%, 64%, and 80.2% physicians believed that exercise increased the effectiveness of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy, respectively. About 94.2% of the physicians were willing to be trained on the effects of exercise in cancer.

Conclusion: Oncology physicians believe that exercise has positive effects on cancer; however, they still need training on this subject.

The ratio of the patients treated in the TRH in the Marmara region was 77%, but only 25% of the patients were living in the Marmara region. Duration of hospitalization was longer in the TRHs with a median of 28 days compared to those of UHs (median: 22 days) (p<0.0001). More than half of the patients (55%) were rehabilitated in the Marmara region. Time after stroke was the highest in the Southeast region with a median of 12 (range, 1 to 230) months and the lowest in the Aegean region with a median of four (range, 1 to 84) months.

Conclusion: This study provides an insight into the situation of stroke rehabilitation settings and characteristics of stroke patients in Turkey. A standard method of patient evaluation and a registry system may provide data about the efficacy of stroke rehabilitation and may help to focus on the problems that hinder a better outcome.

Published: March 2022

Memória transacional em hardware (HTM) minimiza custos de desempenho implementando mecanismos de detecção e resoluções de conflitos diretamente no hardware. Atualmente algumas ferramentas oferecem recursos para utilização de Memória Transacional em forma de bibliotecas, contudo, não estão diretamente vinculadas as ferramentas de programação multithread. Com essa melhora de desempenho oferecida pelo HTM e não integração do HTM a interfaces de programação, este estudo tem como objetivo o desenvolvimento de uma extensão ao OpenMP para suporte a HTM, diretamente ao kernel da aplicação.
Strengthening Occupational Safety and Health Policy in Malaysia: Exploring the Awareness of Civil Servants
Authors: Rahman Nur Hairani Abd , Mohd Kamil Nurul Liyana
Published: March 2022

Accident and fatality rates in the workplace are anticipated to rise constantly over the next few years. Extensive occupational safety and health studies have been conducted in various sectors, yet little attention has been paid to the public sector. This study aims to explore civil servants’ awareness on occupational safety and health (OSH). A survey was conducted in a public university to examine the relationship between OSH awareness and the civil servants’ safety understanding, self-preventive attitudes and self-care practices. The findings revealed that the majority of the respondents have a high understanding of OSH. A correlation analysis indicated that safety understanding, self-preventive attitudes and self-care practice have a positive association with OSH awareness. The highest correlation is between self-preventive attitudes and OSH awareness (r = .732, p < .05). The multiple correlation disclosed F (3,128) = 92.93, p < .000 with an R2 of .24. A significant linear relationship between safety understanding, self-preventive attitudes and self-care practices predicting the OSH awareness with the strongest correlation is between self-preventive attitudes (β = .29, p < .05). The findings suggest that public organisations focus on implementing the OSH guidelines and regulations to minimise occupational hazards at work.
Emerging Repertoires of Political Participation in Lithuania: A Latent Class Analysis
Authors: Imbrasaitė Jūratė , Genys Dainius
Published: March 2022

Most scholars argue that the decline of citizen participation and confidence in political institutions might be explained as the transformation of traditional forms of political participation to new ones. However, some authors indicate that citizens are not exclusively oriented towards institutionalized or de-institutionalized forms of participation and use all available mechanisms of influence by participating in various forms of action. The focus of this article is an empirical investigation of repertoires of political participation in Lithuania. The article, which is based on the data of the fifth wave of the European Values Study, concludes that repertoires of political participation in Lithuania are diversified and complex. They are significantly associated with gender, age, education, income, place of residence, interpersonal trust, confidence in political institutions, materialist/postmaterialist values, authority orientations, democratic support, autocratic orientations, and family socialization. The repertoires of the all-around activists, the duty-based participants, and the low-involved protesters are mixed and include all forms of political participation. However, there is a slightly noticeable trend toward the repertoire of an assertive citizen among the low-involved protesters and the apolitical volunteers.
Analysis of Causality among Tax Revenue, State Expenditure, Inflation, and Economic Growth in Indonesia between 1973 and 2019

This study aims to analyze the causality between tax revenue, state expenditure, inflation and economic growth in Indonesia during the 1973-2019 period to provide policy advice to the Indonesian government. This country was selected as an object with consideration that its economy has grown impressively and has been able to rise from the Asian economic crisis. A brief overview of the policies developed during the research period is presented to provide insight into the policies taken by the government. The use of quantitative methods through the Vector Error Correction Model and Granger causality test was carried out to provide an in-depth analysis. The result showed a positive long-term two-way causality relationship between tax revenues and state expenditures as well as tax revenues and economic growth. This indicates that the government's efforts to implement state expenditure have succeeded in increasing tax revenues. Conversely, an increase in tax revenue allows the government to make state expenditures, both in development and other activities, to improve people’s economy, leading to increased economic growth. The government must maintain an economic policy strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic to restore the national economy by considering potential sectors that are suitable for the climate, such as the agriculture or livestock sector. The result of tests on inflation show that this variable is caused by economic growth and does not apply the other way around, but this variable is has a negative effect on tax revenue, state expenditure and economic growth so its needs to be suppressed to ensure the stable economic growth.
Housing Policy for Low-Income Communities in Indonesia and Its Reforms: An Overview
Authors: Sururi Ahmad , Rusli Budiman , Widianingsih Ida , Ismanto Slamet Usman
Published: March 2022

This article aims at discussing the New Public Management (NPM) approach that has been implemented in housing policies for low-income communities (MBR) in Indonesia and specifically describes how the NPM approach has diametrical relevance to the post-NPM approach. This research method uses a review approach. The data collection technique is through searching various sources and literature, both from NPM theories, regulations and historical documents on housing policy in Indonesia. Data analysis used in this study uses several stages, i.e., first a brief description of the history of Indonesia’s housing policy during the Old Order, New Order s provided; the second stage focuses on the new order or reform era and explains how the housing approach for MBR in Indonesia has adopted the NPM policy, and the final section presents the direction of the housing policy reform in Indonesia based on the post-NPM paradigm. The result of the study indicates that the NPM approach in the context of housing policy for low-income communities (MBR) in Indonesia has not been fully able to overcome housing problems for low-income communities (MBR) and in principle the NPM approach requires socio-cultural, economic and political adaptation of Indonesia. The main point of this article is to encourage the realisation of an ideal housing policy for low-income communities (MBR) in the future through the application of a post-NPM approach as a correction and evaluation instrument while at the same time encouraging the housing policy reform for low-income communities (MBR) in Indonesia.
Découverte de Crypsis schoenoides (L.) Lam. en Dombes (01) : évaluation de l’indigénat de cette population au regard de la répartition de cette espèce et de son écologie en France
Authors: BALLAYDIER Alexandre
Published: March 2022

En 2014, une population de Crypsis faux-choin (Crypsis schoenoides (L.) Lam.) a été découverte en Dombes (Ain, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France). Elle se développe dans un étang piscicole exploité traditionnellement et extensivement (assec annuel sans mise en culture ni amendement). Il s’agit d’une première mention en région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes de C. schoenoides, espèce méditerranéo-atlantique. La répartition française de cette espèce patrimoniale (protégée en région Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur mais menacée ou quasi-menacée dans d’autres régions françaises) est présentée. Une comparaison phytosociologique de la végétation abritant la population dombiste avec les végétations présentes en France et connues pour abriter cette espèce est réalisée. Ces éléments, les connaissances sur la biologie du genre Crypsis, ainsi que des échanges avec le personnel de la pisciculture et du Conservatoire botanique national alpin nous permettent de proposer des hypothèses sur l’origine de cette population dombiste et de discuter de son caractère indigène ou exogène.
Reflexões sobre artesanato e divisão de trabalho na produção de vestuário
Authors: Correia Manuela Beatriz Pedrosa , Cavalcanti Virginia Pereira
Published: March 2022

O fazer manual do artesão possui em si princípios, valores e características singulares que o distinguem do fazer ligado à lógica industrial. A maior dessas características é a integração entre mão e mente, apesar de, historicamente, ter sido entendida como dicotômica, ao considerar que existia uma separação entre o trabalho manual do artesão e seu trabalho intelectual. Tal lógica, fundamentada na divisão moderna do trabalho, é passível de observação também no campo da moda, em que, frequentemente, o trabalho de design e a execução são separados, nos processos, estruturas e formatos. Este artigo tem como objetivo descrever reflexões conceituais preliminares sobre a relação entre artesanato e divisão de trabalho no processo de criação e produção de vestuário de moda autoral. Com uma abordagem metodológica qualitativa, de caráter exploratório, adota a pesquisa bibliográfica como procedimento para analisar e relacionar os fundamentos teóricos.
A moda e sinais de distinção social na vida de uma artista uruguaia
Authors: Teixeira Cristiane Garcia , Piazza Maria de Fátima Fontes
Published: March 2022

O presente artigo visa analisar um conjunto de imagens, de fotografias a reproduções fotográficas em periódicos uruguaios e brasileiros, como Anales: Revista Mensual Ilustrada, Mundo Uruguayo, O Cruzeiro e O Jornal. Estas imagens são indícios da trajetória artística da uruguaia Raquel Aliseris Bernadá [de Labaure-Casaravilla] (1923-1986), desde uma foto laureada em que aparece com a obra “Patos Pekineses” do Salón Nacional de 1938, de uma exposição portenha, da presença em museus europeus onde realizou cópias de obras consagradas, da presença em festas até o casamento em Montevidéu. As imagens permitem revelar a trajetória dessa artista com sinais de distinção social e identificar a moda e a cultura da aparência. O ponto de inflexão é o casamento, quando a noiva é representada nos periódicos montevideanos dentro da tradição com toques de modernidade, com vestido de cetim, véu, grinalda e bouquet originais. A pesquisa mostrou uma artista comprometida com sua arte e vestida com sobriedade e elegância nos lugares de sociabilidade artística, por outro lado, é vista pela imprensa platina e brasileira como uma socialite, com roupas que denotam distinção social e de acordo com as tendências da moda.
