Published: May 2021

By 2045, Indonesia's population is expected to reach 321.4 million, the fifth largest in the world after China, India, Nigeria, and the United States. It is an excellent challenge for Indonesia to provide food in the future as it keeps pace with the rapid population growth. This study aims to analyze forecasting the basic conditions of Indonesia’s rice economy 2019-2045. The research data use time-series data from 1961-2018, including data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), Ministry of Agriculture/Pusdatin, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), International Rice Research (IRR), Department of Commerce, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and ASEAN Food Safety Information System (AFSIS). Data analysis using the simultaneous equations model approach. The results show that in 2019-2045 the projection of rice productivity in 2025 is 64,465 quintals per hectare; in 2035, it is 68,797 quintals per hectare, and in 2045 it is 77,462 quintals per hectare. In 2045, the projected land area is 27.64 million hectares. Although Indonesia is forecast to experience a rice surplus of 37.80 million tonnes in 2045, the projected rice production and domestic rice consumption level indicate the potential for rice imports of 15 million tonnes.
What pension policy lessons could Colombia draw from New Zealand?
Authors: Ruiz Marin Willis
Published: May 2021

The article addresses the feasibility that a less developed country, such as, Colombia might adopt a universal policy scheme, such as, the one that functions successfully in a developed nation, specifically, the one in New Zealand. Starting in the 19th century, the pension schemes in Colombia, and in New Zealand, were designed differently, and have resulted in different outcomes. I conclude that there are several factors, such as, geographic proximity pattern, ageing population, financial sustainability, and superannuation pillar design that would enable Colombia to adopt the first pension pillar successfully. Even so, there are also some challenges, such as, policy legacy, simplicity, pensionable age, institutional weakness, population size, and homeland security that Colombia will need to address to ensure its success – specifically how to decrease poverty among the elderly population without affecting the long-term sustainability of the retirement system.

La inteligencia como organización burocrática: disfunciones del modelo weberiano
Authors: Cremades-Guisado Álvaro , Cancelado-Franco Henry
Published: May 2021

Si bien el desarrollo histórico de los servicios de inteligencia durante el siglo XX fue altamente dispar, desde una aproximación comparativa se observa que gran parte de las comunidades de inteligencia de regímenes políticos democráticos mantienen hoy en su estructura y funcionamiento grandes semejanzas, producto de una institucionalización determinada por el modelo de organización burocrática de tipo weberiano. Así, este artículo busca comprender los aspectos organizacionales de los servicios de inteligencia desde la perspectiva de la racionalidad burocrática, con el propósito de explorar las críticas a este modelo y evaluar su relación con las disfunciones en el ámbito particular de los servicios de inteligencia. Los resultados muestran que estas distorsiones afectan la funcionalidad y la legitimidad de estas organizaciones, lo que muestra la necesidad de buscar cambios del modelo actual.

Authors: Vasiloglou Maria F , Christodoulidis Stergios , Reber Emilie , Stathopoulou Thomai , Lu Ya , Stanga Zeno , Mougiakakou Stavroula
Published: May 2021

Background

Digital technologies have evolved dramatically in recent years, finding applications in a variety of aspects of everyday life. Smartphones and mobile apps are being used for a steadily increasing number of tasks, including health monitoring. A large number of nutrition and diet apps are available, and some of them are very popular in terms of user downloads, highlighting a trend toward diet monitoring and assessment.

Objective

We sought to explore the perspectives of end users on the features, current use, and acceptance of nutrition and diet mHealth apps with a survey. We expect that this study can provide user insights to assist researchers and developers in achieving innovative dietary assessments.

Methods

A multidisciplinary team designed and compiled the survey. Before its release, it was pilot-tested by 18 end users. A 19-question survey was finally developed and was translated into six languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Greek. The participants were mainly recruited via social media platforms and mailing lists of universities, university hospitals, and patient associations.

Results

A total of 2382 respondents (1891 female, 79.4%; 474 male, 19.9%; and 17 neither, 0.7%) with a mean age of 27.2 years (SD 8.5) completed the survey. Approximately half of the participants (1227/2382, 51.5%) had used a nutrition and diet app. The primary criteria for selecting such an app were ease of use (1570/2382, 65.9%), free cost (1413/2382, 59.3%), and ability to produce automatic readings of caloric content (1231/2382, 51.7%) and macronutrient content (1117/2382, 46.9%) (ie, food type and portion size are estimated by the system without any contribution from the user). An app was less likely to be selected if it incorrectly estimated portion size, calories, or nutrient content (798/2382, 33.5%). Other important limitations included the use of a database that does not include local foods (655/2382, 27.5%) or that may omit major foods (977/2382, 41%).

Conclusions

This comprehensive study in a mostly European population assessed the preferences and perspectives of potential nutrition and diet app users. Understanding user needs will benefit researchers who develop tools for innovative dietary assessment as well as those who assist research on behavioral changes related to nutrition.
The Roles of General Health and COVID-19 Proximity in Contact Tracing App Usage: Cross-sectional Survey Study
Authors: Witteveen Dirk , de Pedraza Pablo
Published: May 2021

Background

Contact tracing apps are considered useful means to monitor SARS-CoV-2 infections during the off-peak stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Their effectiveness is, however, dependent on the uptake of such COVID-19 apps.

Objective

We examined the role of individuals’ general health status in their willingness to use a COVID-19 tracing app as well as the roles of socioeconomic characteristics and COVID-19 proximity.

Methods

We drew data from the WageIndicator Foundation Living and Working in Coronavirus Times survey. The survey collected data on labor market status as well as the potential confounders of the relationship between general health and COVID-19 tracing app usage, such as sociodemographics and regular smartphone usage data. The survey also contained information that allowed us to examine the role of COVID-19 proximity, such as whether an individual has contracted SARS-CoV-2, whether an individual has family members and colleagues with COVID-19, and whether an individual exhibits COVID-19 pandemic–induced depressive and anxiety symptoms. We selected data that were collected in Spain, Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands from individuals aged between 18 and 70 years (N=4504). Logistic regressions were used to measure individuals’ willingness to use a COVID-19 tracing app.

Results

We found that the influence that socioeconomic factors have on COVID-19 tracing app usage varied dramatically between the four countries, although individuals experiencing forms of not being employed (ie, recent job loss and inactivity) consistently had a lower willingness to use a contact tracing app (effect size: 24.6%) compared to that of employees (effect size: 33.4%; P<.001). Among the selected COVID-19 proximity indicators, having a close family member with SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with higher contact tracing app usage (effect size: 36.3% vs 27.1%; P<.001). After accounting for these proximity factors and the country-based variations therein, we found that having a poorer general health status was significantly associated with a much higher likelihood of contact tracing app usage; compared to a self-reported “very good” health status (estimated probability of contact tracing app use: 29.6%), the “good” (estimated probability: +4.6%; 95% CI 1.2%-8.1%) and “fair or bad” (estimated probability: +6.3%; 95% CI 2.3%-10.3%) health statuses were associated with a markedly higher willingness to use a COVID-19 tracing app.

Conclusions

Current public health policies aim to promote the use of smartphone-based contact tracing apps during the off-peak periods of the COVID-19 pandemic. Campaigns that emphasize the health benefits of COVID-19 tracing apps may contribute the most to the uptake of such apps. Public health campaigns that rely on digital platforms would also benefit from seriously considering the country-specific distribution of privacy concerns.
Examining the Academic Trends in Neuropsychological Tests for Executive Functions Using Virtual Reality: Systematic Literature Review (Preprint)
Authors: Kim Euisung , Han Jieun , Choi Hojin , Prié Yannick , Vigier Toinon , Bulteau Samuel , Kwon Gyu Hyun
Published: May 2021

BACKGROUND

In neuropsychology, fully immersive virtual reality (VR) has been spotlighted as a promising tool. It is considered that VR not only overcomes the existing limitation of neuropsychological tests but is also appropriate for treating executive functions (EFs) within activities of daily living (ADL) due to its high ecological validity. While fully immersive VR offers new possibilities of neuropsychological tests, there are few studies that overview the intellectual landscape and academic trends in the research related to mainly targeted EFs with fully immersive VR.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study is to get an overview of the research trends that use VR in neuropsychological tests and to analyze the research trends using fully immersive VR neuropsychological tests with experimental articles.

METHODS

This review was carried out according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Articles were searched in three web databases using keywords related to VR, EFs, and cognitive abilities. The study was conducted in two steps, keyword analysis and in-depth systematic review. In the web database search from 2000 to 2019, 1167 articles were initially collected, of which 234 articles in the eligibility phase were used to conduct keyword analysis and a total of 47 articles were included for systematic review.

RESULTS

In keyword analysis, the number of articles focused on dementia including the keywords “MCI,” “SCD,” and “dementia” were highlighted over the period, rather than other symptoms. In addition, we identified that the use of behavioral and physiological data in virtual environments (VEs) has dramatically increased in recent studies. In the systematic review, we focused on the purpose of study, assessment, treatment, and validation of usability and structure. We found that treatment studies and uncategorized studies including presence and cybersickness issues have emerged in the recent period. In addition, the target symptoms and range of participants were diversified.

CONCLUSIONS

There has been a continuously increasing interest in dealing with neuropsychology by using fully immersive VR. Target cognitive abilities have been diversified, as well as target symptoms. Moreover, the concept of embodied cognition was transplanted in this research area.
Dutch Curse on Indonesia: Unemployment by Asian Development Bank (ADB) Loan Projects
Authors: Ingratubun Muhammad Amir , Perdana Fahly Ardika , Cahyadie Beny , Indra Nizara Nefo , Ratih Rantini Raden
Published: May 2021

The ADB takes more than five years to disburse the agreed-upon loan funds after the borrower signs the loan agreements, because of the conditionalities attached to such loans, compared with it only taking one day for commercial banks to release any agreed loans. During this five-year period, the funds stay in the bank and gain compounded interest, disfavoring Indonesia. Development studies have mostly overlooked these gains and their impacts. Knowing that ADB loans cause about 3% of Indonesia’s unemployment, we reviewed the delay’s impacts during a project’s implementation on unemployment involving 325 ADB loan projects, valued at over $33 billion, from 1969 to 2017. We used a non-econometric methodology by adopting the management principles of the project and portfolio. The results show that the ADB’s loans at 1% GDP initially helped Indonesia reduce its unemployment by 30%. However, because of the ADB’s standard implementation of five years, along with an extra two-year delay (seven years in total) we observed shorter unemployment reductions by half, but then reversed, increased and tripled joblessness. This is also causing Indonesia to suffer capital losses of $0.6 to $12 per $1 of loan money, which is equivalent to 4.98% of its GDP because of the delays in the disbursement of the funds. ADB loans have severe negative effects, with over 200% volatility because of the delays. Fixing this is simple but requires a paradigm shift.
Impact of Macroeconomic Shocks on the Individual Banks: Case of Madagascar
Authors: Razafindravonona Prof. Jean
Published: May 2021

The successive financial crises have highlighted the interdependence between the financial system and the real economy. Prudential measures to limit the negative repercussions of the financial crisis, through the Basel I and Basel II agreements, have shown their limits and the Basel III agreements have consequently integrated the macro-prudential component which aims to ensure the stability of the financial sector as a whole within the economy. The financial stability assessment tool known as the “stress test” has also been developed in various forms and its application to the financial sector, particularly the banking sector, is strongly recommended by the Bank for International Settlements. Indeed, the purpose of this study is to assess the resilience of the Malagasy banking sector to macroeconomic shocks and to evaluate its impact on the capitalization of the banking system through the macroeconomic stress test tool. To do so, we used a dynamic panel model. Non-performing loan forecasts are used to obtain capital projections at both the banking system and bank levels under adverse scenarios. The results show that most banks were able to hold capital above the minimum regulatory threshold of 8% under Basel III standards. However, only one bank fails to meet the minimum capital adequacy threshold. Non-performing loan forecasts are used to obtain capital projections at both the banking system and bank levels under adverse scenarios.

Authors: Vu Van Khac , Tri Nguyen Minh
Published: May 2021

Science and technology play an important role in transforming growth models, improving productivity, quality, efficiency and competitiveness of the economy. This is a matter of vital significance to the existence and development of the country, and is an urgent requirement of the current industrialization, modernization and national integration in Vietnam. During 35 years of industrialization, modernization and international integration (1986 – 2021), science and technology in Vietnam have made important progress in all aspects, making a practical contribution to economic development - society, improve the quality of people’s life and consolidate national defense and security. However, science and technology in Vietnam today still has many shortcomings such as: The level of science and technology of social production remains low and backward compared to other countries in the region; low labor productivity; domestic businesses are still less interested in investing in research and development; investment in science and technology activities is low, structure is not suitable, efficiency is low; the contingent of science and technology staff lacks quantity, is weak in quality, and the structure is not suitable. These shortcomings have been affecting the demand for reform of an economic growth model to meet the requirements of rapid and sustainable development. In the coming time, to overcome the above problems, Vietnam needs to deploy a synchronous system of solutions.
Kosovo-Serbia Negotiations
Authors: Rexhepi Rinor , Sahiti Vigan
Published: May 2021

Negotiations are forms of conversation, communication and bilateral or multilateral dialogue to resolve any kind of problem. Negotiations between Kosovo and Serbia are regional and global, as evidenced by the involvement of the EU and the US in these negotiations. The only way to finally resolve the problem between Kosovo and Serbia is dialogue. The purpose of the research is to analyse and measure Kosovo’s opinion on resolving the problem with Serbia through dialogue and their opinion on Kosovo’s representation in the talks and the agreement reached in Washington. The research was conducted through a questionnaire with structured questions, while a total of 470 respondents from all over Kosovo participated. Statistical analyses were analysed through the SPSS program, while qualitative ones through the inductive method. Based on the results, we see that demographic factors such as gender, age, and qualification affect the citizens of Kosovo’s citizens to solve the problem with Serbia. Part of this research was also interviewing with experts on the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue. What we can recommend from this research is that dialogue should move from technical issues to political issues because the essence of this dialogue is political. The only way to its final solution is to reach an agreement that would include its resolution of all problems. The solution can be achieved through one of the possible scenarios in this paper in the theoretical and research part.
The Influence of Disagreements in the Leadership of the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic in the 1920s and their Impact on the Political and Economic Life of the Country
Authors:   ADA University, Mammadova Gunel Kamil
Published: May 2021

This article studies the disagreements in the leadership of the Azerbaijan SSR in the 1920s and the effect of these contradictions on the political and economic life of the republic. The research material is historical documents and historical and theoretical literature. The research topic is relevant, as it provides undeniable historical facts about the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. For the first time, the article analyzes the historical events of those times from the point of view of modern historical events they are interconnected with. It also examines the status of the Azerbaijani language in such a difficult historical period. In the course of the research, the historical-descriptive method and the method of historical analysis were used. As a result of the study, it was revealed that in 1920 intra-government disagreements and disputes began with the creation of the Soviet government between nationalist-minded forces and the Bolshevik forces of Armenian origin emissaries of Moscow. This strife ended in the defeat of the Azerbaijani national communists due to the unequal distribution of forces. Thus, the Central Bolshevik government and its Baku emissaries of non-Azerbaijani origin removed the obstacles that contradicted their policy in Azerbaijan and began to implement in full force the chauvinist national policy under the veil of international philosophy. Summing up, the author points out the causes of strife and disagreement among the authorities of Azerbaijan in the 1920s. He notes that these reasons were negligence and disrespect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, wealth, language, religion and national traditions, peasants and intellectuals of Azerbaijan. This attitude was also observed in the field of economic issues. This study's presented materials and conclusions can be useful for historians and further research in this direction.

Authors: Nuryitmawan Tegar Rismanuar
Published: May 2021

Poor farmer households are a vulnerable group in rural areas. Various poverty alleviation measures have been launched to help poor farmer groups become more prosperous. The policies launched were in the form of cash transfers, empowerment, and access to formal financial institutions. Policies for providing formal financial access continue to face many obstacles, one of which is credit risk and farmer literacy. The study aims to estimate the impact of credit on multidimensional poverty in poor farmer households in Indonesia. Secondary data were obtained from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) batch 4 and 5. The impact estimation method used was propensity score matching combined with the difference in differences. The results showed that credit programs for poor farmers, initiated by official financial institutions, significantly helped farmers out of poverty, although the value was small. The addition of control variables such as education, ownership of household assets, and ownership of agricultural land actually made the credit program more modifiable at the policy level. Credit can be used as a complement to policies related to improving farmer education and knowledge in the form of agricultural modernization, as well as to scale-up of farmer household businesses.

Steganografi merupakan teknik untuk menyembunyikan keberadaan data ke dalam data lain sehingga keberadaannya tidak diketahui. Sehingga selain pengirim dan penerima tidak ada yang mengetahui isi dari pesan tersebut dan tidak mudah untuk dicurigai. Beberapa algoritma yang cocok dengan teknik steganography, salah satunya yaitu algoritma LSB (Least Significant Bit). Algoritma LSB sendiri sudah dikembangkan oleh beberapa penelitian sebelumnya, yaitu menjadi algoritma LSB Random Color dan algoritma LSB Shifting. Dua algoritma tersebut merupakan algoritma yang terbaru dari algoritma LSB. Beberapa penelitian sebelumnya melakukan pengujian algoritma LSB random color dan algoritma LSB shifting dengan menggunakan data yang berbeda, dan hasil penelitian sebelumnya tidak melakukan perbandingan mana yang lebih baik dari dua algoritma tersebut. Dalam penelitian ini penulis membuat penelitian dengan judul analisa perbandingan LSB steganografi antara shifting dan random color. Pengujian diukur dengan menghitung nilai MSE dan PSNR pada file stegano image. Penelitian ini menggunakan 2 jenis file cover image yaitu berwarna dan hitam putih dengan jumlah masing-masing 3 file yang berbeda, dan menggunakan 1 file secret image yang sama. Sehingga diperoleh hasil perbandingan bahwasannya algoritma LSB random color memiliki performa lebih baik, meskipun mengunakan jenis file berwarna atau hitam putih

Introdução: O traumatismo cranioencefálico (TCE) por queda de Televisão (TV) tem sido pouco divulgado em nosso meio. Suas consequências são sequelas ou óbito. Metodologia: Foram analisados oito casos de crianças vítimas de TCE por queda de TV quanto ao sexo, idade, escore na escala de coma de Glasgow (ECG) na admissão, achados de tomografia computadorizada (TC) do crânio, tratamento e prognóstico. Discussão: Queda de TV pode causar significativo dano cerebral em crianças. As lesões mais comuns são de crânio, face, seguida de membros, tórax e abdome. Lesões associadas ao TCE pioram o prognóstico. Conclusão: É de suma importância que seja dada orientação aos familiares e cuidadores de crianças.

Introdução: O vasoespasmo cerebral (VC) é a segunda maior causa de morbimortalidade em HSA aneurismática. Apesar da indicação do uso de nimodipino para sua prevenção ser bem estabelecida, ela não é totalmente eficaz. Logo, faz-se necessário o estudo de abordagens para o tratamento do VC. Nos últimos anos, a milrirona vem demonstrando eficácia para o tratamento do vasoespasmo seja em seu uso intra-arterial (IA) em dose única, em forma de bomba de infusão endovenosa ou intratecal por cateter lombar. Objetivo: Descrever um caso do uso da milrinona na abordagem terapêutica do VC. Métodos: Neste artigo relatamos um caso do uso combinado de milrinona IA (10 mL) e em bomba de infusão (0,375 mcg/kg/min) no tratamento do VC. Resultados: A paciente apresentou melhora clínica, e a angiografia por subtração digital mostrou melhora após dose IA e no controle após 4 dias de bomba de infusão. Conclusão: A associação de milrinona intra-arterial e endovenosa apresentou desfecho favorável clínico e radiológico.

O hematoma extradural é uma comorbidade que se caracteriza pelo acúmulo de sangue entre a dura-máter e o osso. Representa entre 1-2% das lesões cerebrais por traumatismo craniano, apresentando uma taxa de mortalidade atual que varia entre 10 a 40%. Um paciente masculino de 54 anos foi admitido neste serviço com histórico de duas quedas, traumatismo cranioencefálico, queixa de alteração do nível de consciência, pupilas isofotorreagentes e sem déficits motores dimidiados. Na tomografia computadorizada de crânio foi observado um raro caso de hematoma extradural bilateral em região temporoparietal. A craniotomia bilateral com drenagem dos hematomas foi indicada, já que apresentavam volume maior que 30 ml e espessura maior que 2,5 cm. Paciente teve alta da unidade intensiva após 3 dias, mantendo quadro neurológico prévio à cirurgia. O hematoma extradural é uma emergência neurocirúrgica que apresentou grande alteração em sua taxa de mortalidade após advento da tomogafia. Esta patologia pode ser abordada de forma conservadora ou cirúrgica, dependendo de alguns parâmetros como: volume, desvio de linha média e espessura. A craniotomia ou craniectomia precoce estão relacionados a uma melhora da morbi-mortalidade do paciente.

The occurrence of spinal subarachnoid hematoma (SSH) after lumbar puncture for anesthesia is a rare complication and in most cases results from difficult spinal anesthesia. Predisposing factors are: presence of tumors or vascular malformations within the spinal canal, coagulopathies, use of antiplatelet and/or anticoagulant therapy, direct spinal cord trauma, spinal canal stenosis, combined spinal anesthesia, multiple and difficult traumatic punctures. We report a case of a patient which after spinal anesthesia for orthopedic surgery developed cauda equina syndrome postoperatively. The patient was submitted to lumbosacral MRI and diagnosed with SSH. Emergency surgical treatment was performed, with clinical and neurological improvement in the immediate postoperative period. A review of the literature was conducted aiming to discuss the pathophysiology and etiological factors involved, as well as aspects related to the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of this rare clinical condition.

Hidranencefalia (HE) é uma doença rara em que não há hemisférios cerebrais, porém o líquido cefalorraquidiano (LCR) é produzido normalmente no plexo coroide, mas precariamente absorvido, resultando em hidrocefalia. O tratamento tradicional é a derivação liquórica. Uma boa opção é a neuroendoscopia, procedimento em que se realiza coagulação do plexo coroide (CPC). Neste relato apresenta-se um caso de HE tratado com CPC.

A multiplicidade sígnica e a fruição estética da mensagem publicitária
Authors: Rodrigues Anderson Fávero , Carlos Miriam Cris
Published: May 2021

As páginas a seguir expressam e desenvolvem características de elaboração textual que visam a complexificar e a (re)duplicar possibilidades sígnicas e semânticas, abordando a leitura em suas múltiplas instâncias. Tomando como corpus a criação publicitária, são evidenciadas algumas confluências artístico-literárias, bem como questionadas as virtudes apelativas, a essência anunciativa/venal e a concepção mercadológica das composições propagandísticas. Além disso, por meio da articulação de diferentes códigos e da incompletude dos signos, diálogos pertinentes são suscitados com o intuito de destacar a interativa e completiva relação entre textos verbais e visuais.
Narrativas espantosas: dos jornais do século XIX aos portais do século XXI
Authors: Sardinha Gabriela Pavanato
Published: May 2021

O objetivo deste trabalho é estudar o uso de recursos literários folhetinescos na constituição do discurso jornalístico e na criação do estilo fait divers para, a partir de então, analisar de que maneira essa influência adentrou as mídias digitais. Especificamente, trata-se de investigar de que forma os novos fluxos de informação distribuem os seus conteúdos nos ambientes virtuais e como essa composição está baseada na interface entre ficção e sentido de realidade. O estudo se atém à observação dos portais de notícias, cuja significação articula fatos cotidianos, com folhetins e narrativas espantosas. O corpus da pesquisa é composto por portais de notícias com acessos gratuitos e abertos. Teoricamente, amparamo-nos nos trabalhos clássicos desenvolvidos para a imprensa, especialmente, na interpretação que Roland Barthes dá ao movimento narrativo próprio da notícia ao tratar do “fait divers” e do “mito”.
Reflexões sobre a representação dos territórios marginalizados no cinema nacional: cultura popular e identidades
Authors: Postali Thífani , Akhras Fabio Nauras
Published: May 2021

Este trabalho tem como objetivo refletir sobre a representação dos territórios marginalizados no cinema brasileiro, especialmente no gênero documentário, que tem como proposta asserções sobre realidades.  A partir da pesquisa bibliográfica, procuramos problematizar as representações sociais presentes no cinema nacional e apontar a necessidade de conteúdos que possam contribuir para produções que busquem retratar esses espaços de maneira menos taxativa e mais ética, voltadas para as realidades locais em seus vários aspectos. Assim, apresentamos o hip hop como um objeto cultural identitário que pode ser representado pelo cinema de modo que a produção audiovisual possa contribuir para a ressignificação desses espaços marginalizados, oferecendo subsídios para a valorização da cultura popular urbana.
