Retrospection of Historical Traces: A Hypersemiotic Study on the Use of KNIL Uniforms in Contemporary Social Discourse
Authors: Hagijanto Andrian Dektisa
Published: December 2024

The formulation of the problem in this study is used to answer the question of how the uniforms of the Dutch colonial army during the Indonesian war of independence are used by young people today. Contemporary social activities carried out by individuals characterized as colonial soldiers produce signs that are used to re-examine the social stigma about KNIL soldiers. Why is hypersimiotics used in forming opinions that contrast with the mainstream views that have been passed down in Indonesia about the cruel and evil Dutch colonial soldiers towards the Indonesian people? The aim is to explain the contemporary social activities carried out by several young Indonesians who have a history of KNIL soldier ancestry. It explains contemporary social activities through social media posts by these young people in an effort to create retrospective attitudes towards the historical traces of the existence of KNIL soldiers in the Dutch East Indies. The result of this study is to explain the activities carried out by the research subjects as a construction of signs with concepts that refer to the blurring of boundaries between signs, symbols, and reality, where meanings can become ambiguous or have multiple layers of interpretation. The signs are the embodiment of what is understood as signs that go beyond classical semiotics and become a form of hypersimiotics. These new sign constructions produce an articulation that is interpreted as a form of resistance to prevailing conditions. The stigma inherited about the cruel and evil KNIL soldiers will be changed with a positive perspective. A retrospective expression of the KNIL soldiers in their existence during the Dutch colonial era.
LOGO DESIGN BASED ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)
Authors: Tuwio Namuri Migo
Published: December 2024

The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has disrupted various aspects of human life, including the fields of art and design. This technology has proven to be a valuable tool in helping individuals create corporate identity designs (logos) quickly, cheaply, easily, and with a wide variety of options. Its open-source nature allows anyone, skilled or unskilled, to generate a logo without being bound by traditional, complex, and step-by-step methods. The continuous improvement of AI-based logo maker applications has the potential to shift the position of designers who tend to work with a “critical thinking dan creative thinking” approach. Based on this problem, this study aims to further interpret the collaborative process between humans and AI technology as a new creative achievement that can be accepted through academic and practical discussions. Using a practice-led research approach, the author explored various creative methods involving the collective work between designers and AI to produce a new logo design method that can broaden the practical and academic discourse. The theory of Posthumanism (AI Takeover) and the theory of Psychoanalysis (Four Discourses) were used as analytical tools to examine and reveal the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) as a creative instrument designing logo. Based on the study conducted, the method considered effective for designing logos based on artificial intelligence can be achieved through the following stages: 1. Research, 2. Formulating company values, 3. Writing (AI-Text Prompt), 4. Creating a Logo with an AI Application, 5. The logo generated by AI is used as a reference for conventional design, 6. Logo Selection and Adjustment, 7. Developing philosophical meaning, 8. Testing, 9. Evaluation (Improvement/Finalization). In addition, human intervention (designer) is still needed to make the logo by the automation machine able to requirements as a work of art. Furthermore, this study also clarifies the position of artificial intelligence (AI) technology as a tool created to encourage designers into “posthuman beings” with new competencies/abilities in creating works (designing logo).
Sustainability Indicators of Four Biomass Pretreatment Methods for the Energy Transition in Colombia
Authors: Orozco Yohanna Cabrera , Alarcón Jennifer Alejandra Patricia Gutiérrez , Orozco Andres Cabrera
Published: December 2024

Objective: To compare pretreatment methods for lignocellulosic biomass, focusing on the feasibility of using renewable energy through electric-powered techniques.
 
Theoretical Framework: The energy transition is expected to generate surplus green electricity. This surplus can enable sustainable small-scale lignocellulose pretreatments.  
 
Methods: We compared two conventional pretreatments, steam explosion (SE) and ammonia fiber expansion (AFEX), with two electric-powered pretreatments, reactive extrusion (RE) and ball milling mechanocatalysis (Me). Feasibility was assessed using these indicators: normalized total value added (TVA), safety, health, and environmental (SHE) impacts, and energy efficiency (carbohydrate yield to energy consumption ratio), based on literature data. A cumulative index (CI) combined TVA with SHE impacts, emphasizing that high economic value alone is insufficient if the pretreatment negatively affects safety, health, or the environment.
 
Results and Discussion: Economic viability varied; SE and AFEX performed best (TVA range: SE: 0.04 to 0.54; AFEX: 0.08 to 0.21). RE exhibited potential despite energy efficiency challenges, unlike Me (TVA: RE: -2 to 0.01; Me: -28 to -8). When considering CIs that combine TVA with SHE impacts, RE was competitive with AFEX (CI: RE: 1.3-2.9; AFEX: 1.7-1.9; SE: 0.7-1.2; Me: 8.9-28.9). Energy efficiency showed gains for all methods (Me: 0.02-0.18; RE: 0.38-3.94; SE: 1.22-3.59; AFEX: 1.33-3.92 kWh/kg). RE overlaps with SE and AFEX indicating potential.
 
Research Implications: The data suggest feasible scenarios for integrating renewable energy into biomass pretreatments, enabling small-scale energy utilization.
 
Originality/Value:  The analysis explores diverse energy uses to enhance sustainability, by presenting practical possibilities for community involvement for a fair and equitable energy transition.

Published: December 2024

Objective: Carry out the mineralizing and detoxifying treatment of cigarette butts, as a solution to the contamination of hazardous non-recyclable waste due to the amount of toxic substances they contain.
 
Theoretical Framework: The research used the applied biotechnology of saprobiotic macromycetes as regenerative treatment systems for the mineralization of toxic substances, through the detoxification of cellulose and lignin fibers due to the enzymatic activity of cellulases. The proliferation of Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus dejamor occurred under induced conditions of HR, ºT and light hours.
 
Method: The methodology includes the degradation process of cellulose and lignin fibers verified by SEM after 45 and 75 days of evaluation. In addition, the EDS allowed studying the mineralization of the indicator elements. The weekly evaluation periods (every 3 days) for 4 months, under conditions of RH, ºT and induced light hours, showed mycelial growth on the substrate of lignocellulosic waste from cigarette butts.
 
Results and Discussion: The results demonstrated the greatest mineralization of Cl and S at 45 days and Ti, Si, Al at 75 days. Controlled environmental parameters are essential for the development of basidiomycetes and the available carbon source represents the growth factor.
 
Originality/Value: The demineralized, detoxified and partially degraded substrate will serve as raw material for reintegration into the production chain, promoting the circular economy, valorizing waste and reducing the environmental impact to zero.
Friction and Wear of DLC Coating Deposited on M2 Steel via µW-PECVD Against 100Cr6 Steel with Different Normal Loads and Sliding Speeds Under Dry and Lubrication Conditions
Authors: Win Khun Nay , Neville Anne , Kolev Ivan , Zhao Hongyuan
Published: December 2024

The friction and wear of diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating deposited on a M2 steel substrate (DLC-Steel) via microwave excited plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (µW-PECVD) against a 100Cr6 steel ball without or with an Asian Formulated Oil (AFO) were systematically investigated with different normal loads and sliding speeds. Under a dry condition, the DLC-Steel exhibited an increase in its wear with an increased normal load from 1 to 5 N, while its wear increased with an increased sliding speed from 1 to 3 cm/s and turned to decrease with a further increased sliding speed to 5 cm/s. The increased wear of the DLC-Steel resulted in its increased friction via an increase in contact between two rubbing surfaces during dry sliding. However, the DLC-Steel exhibited a decrease in its friction with an increased normal load or sliding speed under a lubrication condition, although it did not have any measurable wear for all the normal loads and sliding speeds. It could be concluded that the µW-PECVD-DLC coating could effectively prevent its underlying steel substrate from abrasive wear for all the normal loads and sliding speeds under both dry and lubrication conditions.

Published: December 2024

The study investigates AA7075-based matrix composites, renowned for their strength and wear resistance, with a focus on aerospace and automotive applications. Using powder metallurgy with floating die-pressing, composites with varying SiC weight proportions (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%) were synthesized and thoroughly analyzed for physical, mechanical, and microstructural properties. Through L9 orthogonal array experiments, the effects of SiC weight percentage, sliding distance, load, and sliding speed on tribological behavior were studied, employing Taguchi's analysis and ANOVA to understand and quantify these effects. Regression equations, contour plots, and surface plots generated using the response surface method helped visualize the relationships between these factors. The composite containing 5% SiC demonstrated superior properties, including a substantial increase in compressive strength (20.1%), weight reduction (13.7%), and a significant decrease in wear loss (83.28%), making it highly promising for aerospace, defense, and automotive sectors. Additionally, uniform failure models were observed in compression tests of composites fabricated using the floating die method. ANOVA analysis revealed that wear loss was primarily influenced by sliding distance (77.13%), followed by SiC weight percentage (11.77%), sliding speed (9.68%), and load (1.42%). The coefficient of friction (COF) was affected by SiC weight percentage (47.54%), followed by sliding distance (22.72%), load (19.14%), and sliding speed (10.59%).

Published: December 2024

This work investigated the fabrication and wear behaviour of a carbon fiber reinforced polyamide (cf/PA) blend composite with silane-treated graphene and silica nanoparticles. Using an extrusion and injection molding process, four series of cf/PA blend composites with different concentrations of silica and graphene (0 to 3 wt%) were made from a polyamide blend consisting of PA6 and thermoplastic copolyester (80:20). To evaluate two-body abrasive wear, 320 grit silicon carbide emery paper and a pin-on-disk wear test apparatus were utilized. The test results showed that the specific wear rate (SWR) decreased regardless of the type of nanofiller used. Tiny quantities of nanofillers treated with silane improve filler-matrix adhesion and increase the abrasion resistance of hybrid composites. The hybrid composite consisting of dual nanoparticles (each 1.5 wt%) into cf/PA revealed a significant decrease in SWR. To identify the wear mechanisms, a scanning electron microscope was used to study the worn surfaces of the selected composite samples. To sum up, the use of surface-treated nanofillers significantly enhances the abrasion resistance of cf/PA blend composites. The findings underscore the potential for further developments in composite material technology, which will have an impact on a variety of industries, including aerospace and automotive, where there is a growing need for materials that are both strong and lightweight.

Authors: Van Huy Vu , B. Rodionov Nikolay , A. Karpov Valery , Thanh Binh Ngo , Dang Khoa Nguyen , Thi Lan Vi Vu
Published: December 2024

Ti/CrN/TiN multilayer coatings were deposited via cathodic arc deposition at substrate bias voltages ranging from 20 V to 60 V. The study investigated the effects of bias voltage on the coatings microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion properties using laser and scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, nanohardness testing, and electrochemical testing equipment. The results indicate that bias voltage significantly influences the morphologies of Ti/CrN/TiN coatings. As the bias voltage increased from 20 V to 60 V, the concentration of macroscopic defects decreased markedly, and the average surface roughness (Ra) reduced from 0.227 µm to 0.179 µm. Nanoindentation revealed that coatings deposited at a bias voltage of 60 V exhibited a notable enhancement in hardness and elastic modulus. Corrosion testing in a 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution showed that coatings deposited at bias voltages of 20 V and 40 V had better corrosion resistance compared to those deposited at 60 V, likely due to the denser microstructure acting as a barrier to the diffusion of corrosive substances.
Spectroscopic, Diagnostics, and Surface Modification of Stainless Steel Doped with Ti Plasma Produced by DC Magnetron Sputtering and Used in Biomedical Applications
Authors: A. Mahmood Mustafa , Adnan Hammudi Riyam
Published: December 2024

Significant developments have been made in the plasma spray process in recent years. In this process, high-quality, denser coatings can be produced. In the current study, titanium films with ~3 nm thickness were developed on 304 stainless steel bars by DC magnetron sputtering technique. It was determined that the developed titanium doping has good properties. 304 stainless steels doped with titania characterised with XRD confirmed the TiO2 coating. Also, they showed that the broadening of the peaks was due to residual stresses in the substrate, present in the austenite phase of the substrate and a possible combination of fine grain and residual stresses in the TiO2 layer. SEM-EDS analyses confirm the roughness of the surface and elemental composition of stain steel doping with titania with 4.5 eV peak and 6.5eV peak. FTIR spectra also specify the Ti-O and Fe-O bonds in the prepared alloy. Topological modifications of 304 stainless steel surfaces caused by TiO2 plasma treatment can be quantified in terms of roughness by AFM analysis. It indicated that the rough surface was obtained due to the doping process. The biological application of the prepared alloy sample was tested using the immersion technique. The doped sample was subjected to a bioactivity test. The cytotoxicity results demonstrate a significant cytotoxic effect on CHO cells, which could be attributed to the high concentration of metal ions produced by the material's biocorrosion, which causes the culture medium's pH to change quickly, as indicated by a change in colour.

Published: December 2024

A demência é uma condição neurológica progressiva que afeta a memória, o pensamento e a capacidade de realizar tarefas cotidianas. É mais comum em idosos, mas pode ocorrer em qualquer idade. O diagnóstico precoce e o apoio adequados são essenciais para melhorar a qualidade de vida dos afetados.  Os sintomas de demência abrangem uma ampla variedade de desafios cognitivos e comportamentais, tornando-se uma condição profundamente debilitante. A perda de memória é um dos sintomas mais proeminentes, especialmente, a dificuldade em lembrar eventos recentes ou nomes familiares. Dessa forma, o propósito da presente pesquisa foi descrever a contribuição da psicanálise na intervenção do quadro de demência. A metodologia utilizada foi a revisão integrativa, utilizam-se os artigos dos últimos dez anos. Os resultados indicam que a psicanálise tem como proposta ir além do modelo biomédico da doença, ter o enfoque nos aspectos intrapsíquicos das pessoas portadoras dessa doença, propondo devolver a humanidade ao sujeito elucidando-o como agente de desejos. Dessa forma, conclui-se que a psicanálise pode contribuir indiretamente com estas pessoas dando suporte emocional aos cuidadores, bem como a intervenção direta com eles, tendo como foco manter funções do ego que não foram afetadas pela doença.
 
DEMENTIA AND THE THERAPEUTIC ASPECTS OF PSYCHOANALYSIS
 
ABSTRACT
Dementia is a progressive neurological condition that affects memory, cognition, and the ability to perform everyday tasks. It is most commonly found in the elderly but may occur at any age. Early diagnosis and appropriate support are essential to improve the quality of life of those affected.  The symptoms of dementia cover a wide range of cognitive and behavioral challenges, making it a profoundly debilitating condition. Memory loss is one of the most prominent symptoms, especially difficulty recalling recent events or familiar names. The purpose of this study was to describe psychoanalysis's contribution to the intervention of dementia. An integrative review was used as the methodology, using articles from the last ten years. The results reveal that psychoanalysis aims to extend beyond the biomedical model of the disease, addressing the intrapsychic aspects of people with dementia, proposing to restore humanity to the subject by elucidating them as agents of desire. In conclusion, psychoanalysis can contribute indirectly to these people by providing emotional support to caregivers, as well as intervening directly with them to maintain ego functions that have not been affected by the disease.

Re-imagining professional learning for teachers: A reflection on the transformative experience of an organic inquiry
Authors: Gilbert Desiree
Published: December 2024

Challenged, frustrated and motivated by my observation and sense that learning experiences are often designed and facilitated with an emphasis on criticality over creativity, I engaged in PhD studies to explore the question, How can expanding my understanding of creativity and its connection to learning assist me to re-imagine professional learning for teachers so that their learning experiences are enhanced? In this article I discuss how my practice as a professional learning facilitator for teachers transformed through this study. In particular I describe my experiences and findings from my open exploration of creativity as a phenomenon and how the organic inquiry approach adopted for this study engendered deeply reflective and reflexive experiences that brought to light the importance of connecting to the imaginal as a generative source of creativity and possibility. I also describe how for myself and participants in this study, storytelling and engaging with stories of creativity gave access to a place of openness for seeing phenomena (creativity and learning) in a new light.

PRIME LENDING RATE AND BANK PERFORMANCE: EVALUATION OF CREDIT QUALITY IN EMERGING COUNTRY
Authors: Muhammad Karim , Desi Novitasari , Riyan Harbi Valdiansyah , Roro Lonita Lorensa
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the impact of the prime lending rate on credit quality and its subsequent effect on banking performance (LDR, ROA, NIM) in Indonesia. This quantitative study encompasses 43 conventional banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) between 2019 and 2023, with 215 data points. The originality of this study lies in its examination of the direct and indirect effects of credit quality on the relationship between the prime lending rate and banking performance. The data were analyzed using the mediation regression method with panel data, using EViews 13.0 employed for this purpose. The results of the study demonstrate that PLR has a positive effect on credit quality (NPL) and LDR, but a negative effect on ROA, and no effect on NIM. Conversely, NPL exerts a negative influence on LDR, ROA, and NIM. The mediation test revealed that PLR has a negative effect on LDR, ROA, and NIM through NPL. Ultimately, the findings suggest that banking practitioners should exercise caution when pursuing high net interest margin (NIM), return on assets (ROA), and loan-to-deposit (LDR) ratios. Instead, a more prudent approach to extending credit is recommended to maintain the NPL ratio below 5%. This approach contributes to the sustained financial stability of the banking institutions under consideration. For policymakers, the study offers insights into the broader effects of interest rate changes on banking stability and credit quality in emerging markets. Financial regulators, such as Bank Indonesia, could utilize these findings to develop policies that balance economic growth objectives with financial stability. For instance, they could implement measures to maintain NPLs below critical thresholds during periods of fluctuating interest rates. These implications encourage a balanced approach to managing interest rates, focusing on credit quality, and maintaining consistent performance to ensure long-term financial stability.

The research sample consists of 59 basic material sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) over the past 4 years from 2019 to 2022, totaling 236 data points. The results of the study indicate that prudence significantly affects the earnings response coefficient, while earnings persistence does not significantly affect the earnings response coefficient. Financial flexibility as a moderating variable also does not have a significant influence in moderating the effects of prudence and earnings persistence on the earnings response coefficient. For future model improvements, it is necessary to calculate the ERC values for each company differently each year by reducing the time period level in the calculation, using daily data. This will result in monthly CAR data, which will then be used to estimate ERC values for specific years using monthly CAR data. Companies are advised to focus on implementing prudence principles in their financial reporting. By providing more accurate and transparent information, companies can enhance investor trust and, in turn, strengthen market responses to their reported earnings.
THE ROLE OF CODE OF CONDUCT IN INFLUENCING GREEN INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL, CARBON ACCOUNTING, ANDCORPORATE GOVERNANCE TO FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Published: December 2024

This research aims to determine the role of code of conduct in influencing green intellectual capital, carbon accounting and corporate governance on the financial performance. This research is focused on banking sector companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2016 until 2021. This study applied secondary data, namely annual reports. Saturated sampling is implied as a method for data collection. The total sample is 46 companies, generating 276 observations. The analytical method employed in this study was analysis by regression. The study finds that green intellectual capital disclosure, carbon accounting and corporate governance positively impacts financial performance, and using the code of conduct index as a moderating factor results in a positive effect on financial performance. As sustainability becomes a cornerstone of corporate strategy, organizations are challenged to integrate ethical frameworks that balance environmental stewardship with economic objectives. Additionally, the type of industry also influences financial performance. The research highlights that a well-established code of conduct not only facilitates the alignment of sustainability goals with financial objectives but also moderates and strengthens the pathways through which these practices influence financial performance. The study provides valuable insights for policymakers, regulators, and corporate leaders, emphasizing the necessity of ethical frameworks to achieve long-term financial viability and environmental sustainability.

Este artigo apresenta parte de uma pesquisa de mestrado, realizada e orientada, respectivamente, pelos autores. Nele, apresenta-se o histórico da boyband sul-coreana BTS, e detalham-se os procedimentos metodológicos empregados para a análise de letras de músicas do BTS, lançadas entre 2020 e 2022, anos marcados pela pandemia de Covid-19. Como corpus de pesquisa, foram elencados os três álbuns coreanos lançados no período mencionado, sendo eles Map of The Soul:7, BE e Proof. Seguindo os passos definidos para uma Análise de Conteúdo − essa técnica analítica foi adotada pelos autores com o intuito de minimizar a subjetividade ao buscarem extrair os significados das letras das músicas do grupo −, foram estabelecidos indicadores e categorias a partir de leituras das letras em etapas, efetuadas para o processo de decodificação do corpus, considerando a unidade de registro “tema”, com o objetivo de identificar os núcleos de sentido na mensagem presente no conteúdo selecionado. A partir dos procedimentos adotados, foi possível identificar quais foram os temas mais abordados em cada álbum no período citado e analisar as mensagens transmitidas nas letras das nove músicas analisadas, com destaque para abordagens sobre a vida de artista, os fãs, o grupo em questão, o tempo e o outro.
FANDOM E PROPRIEDADE INTELECTUAL: O REGISTRO DE MARCA ENQUANTO INSTRUMENTO DE PROTEÇÃO DE EXPRESSÕES USADAS POR FANBASES

Este artigo discute o papel que os registros de marca podem desempenhar no âmbito das relações entre os fãs e seus ídolos, enquanto instrumentos de proteção de expressões que são criadas, usadas e/ou difundidas nesse contexto, com foco nas fanbases de música, a partir de estudos de caso, análises de práticas de fandom e pesquisas em bases abertas de Propriedade Intelectual Embora a relação entre fandom e Propriedade Intelectual seja objeto de rica pesquisa e literatura na área dos Fan Studies, Comunicação Social e outras áreas correlacionadas, esse tema é mais frequentemente abordado sob a perspectiva dos direitos autorais, sobretudo com foco na produção de fanfiction e outras práticas de transformação de obras protegidas pela legislação de direitos autorais. Porém, pouco é explorado em relação a outra espécie do gênero Propriedade Intelectual, qual seja, a marca. Neste artigo, defendemos que algumas expressões usadas nos ambientes de fandom assumem contornos de marcas, nos termos da legislação de Propriedade Industrial, e nesse sentido, o registro de marca pode ser alternativa relevante para o uso desses ativos pelos artistas e titulares de direitos de propriedade intelectual, inclusive protegendo-os contra a exploração por terceiros estranhos à relação fã-ídolo.

O artigo aposta numa virada sônica nos Estudos de Fãs, propondo a discussão sobre escuta como aparato para compreensão das relações entre fandom, canções e álbuns fonográficos. A partir da investigação de podcasts feitos por fãs, revisão Bibliográfica de estudos sobre escuta comparada e através do rastreio de relatos de escuta em redes sociais digitais, entende-se que a escuta funciona como dispositivo agregador nos fandoms, criando sensos de comunidade, aponta para o reconhecimento de marcas estilísticas sônicas dos artistas reconhecíveis por fãs e também para dinâmicas nostálgicas e autorreflexivas. O estudo foca nos álbuns regravados pela cantora Taylor Swift a partir de 2021, mais precisamente no Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).

Radial heat sinks are often employed as heat transfer enhancers because they increase the heat transfer surface area. Novel shapes of fins are used to enhance thermal heat performance under free convection heat transfer. The present experimental study investigates a new-fin shape effect on the thermal behavior of a radial heat sink with a circular base. The objective is to select the best reference model by comparing the three heat sink models, I, II, and III. The study was conducted for the heat-supplied rates of 20.16, 66.03, 105.30, 157.62, and 196.08 W. The present results showed that the fin in case I configurations dissipated heat transfer up to 12.07% and 30% compared to cases II and III, respectively, at high Rayleigh numbers. The thermal resistance in case III reduced to 13.91% and 16.23% compared to case I and case II, respectively, at the maximum Rayleigh number value. Then, based on experimental data, a correlation was suggested to estimate the Nusselt number for free convection from radial heat sink with vertically oriented double triangular fins.
La serie RRC 455 de C. Ancio Restión. Una nota
Authors:   Universitat de Barcelona, Amela Valverde Luis
Published: December 2024

"Brief study of the Roman Republican series RRC 455 by C. Antius Restion, issued at
the Roman mint in 47 BC during the reign of C. Julius Caesar (cos. I 59 BC), in which
denarii, quinarii and sesterces were minted, like their annual colleague A. Licinius Nerva.
Special attention is paid to the iconography of the denarii, which refers to the family of the

monetary magistrate, including his origin from the city of Lavinium as well as the represen-
tation of his namesake father (tr. pl. 68 BC), although it could also allude to the figure of

the Dictator, while quinarii and sesterces are of a more general type. Likewise, the popu-
larity of the images of the different denominations led to their imitation by both Gauls
and Britons."
"Redes de apoio e comunidades potenciais na historiografia grega: uma abordagem semântico-narrativa"
Authors:   Universidade de São Paulo / CNPq (Brasil), Battistin Sebastiani Breno
Published: December 2024

"This paper aims to discuss, using passages from Greek historians and based on an approach
both historical and historiographical-philological, key terms and passages from the lexicon
that make up the semantic field on exile, deportation, banishment and initiatives to establish
potential networks and communities of migrants, that is, that were not fully realized or failed,
as well as resulting in human or economic losses, political setbacks, destruction, dispersion,
enslavement or wars, especially when they co-involve situations of failure or collapse of democracies through (or not) prolonged stáseis – perhaps the main trigger of migration processes
in the ancient world. As a rule, the passages discussed below simply mention and describe the
migratory phenomenon, showing little interest in the initiatives of the migrants themselves,
even less in examining their establishment in the communities that welcomed them, or how
their presence reinforces or weakens democratic or non-organizational regimes. When
historians do show interest in the phenomenon, such interest can be seen as emphasis on
the description of populations forced to leave their cities and sold into slavery"

Objetivo: Avaliar, por meio de um relato de caso, a utilização da laserterapia de baixa intensidade sobre a manifestação sinais e sintomas de DTM e de trismo. Detalhamento de caso: Paciente de 29 anos, do sexo feminino, que apresentava dor facial bilateral com maior intensidade no lado esquerdo e limitação na abertura bucal, foi atendida em uma clínica odontológica universitária. Após uma anamnese detalhada e diagnóstico de DTM e trismo, foi proposto um tratamento conservador com laserterapia. Foram registrados os níveis de dor antes e depois de cada sessão, utilizando a Escala Visual Analógica de Dor, e a abertura máxima da boca medida pela distância entre as bordas incisais dos dentes 11 e 41. Considerações finais: A laserterapia resultou em uma redução significativa da dor (de 6 para 2) e uma melhora na abertura bucal (de 33 mm para 51 mm) ao longo das sessões, indicando uma evolução positiva no quadro clínico.
