Fragmented Bodies, Fractured Identities: Womanhood and Body Politics in Breasts and Eggs
Authors: Mohammad Nadia
Published: December 2023

This article employs feminist theory to explore the theme of fractured femininity in Mieko Kawakami’s Breasts and Eggs. Through the three female characters in the novel, Kawakami highlights the scarring of womanhood in a contemporary, postmodern context. However, the concept of scarring follows Cixous’s metaphor in which literature becomes a liberating and transformative act that vindicates the wounding of womanhood through the imposition of repressive ideals. This is shown as each of these women comes to represent the resilience of women in the face of conventional definitions of femininity. Natsuko’s reluctant following of convention, Makiko’s pursuit of feminine body ideals, and Midoriko’s struggle with her biological self represent women's struggle to realize femininity in the 21st century. Ultimately, these women manage to sustain a level of empowerment by rejecting the socially constructed concept of femininity. Kawakami puts the concept of femininity to the test to prove that it is the result of nurture rather than nature, thus suggesting that constructing a feminine identity in a postmodern setting is much more complex than in theory.

From Urban Space to Cyberspace: A Research on Spatial Writing and Human-Android Relations in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
Authors: Chen Mi , Omar Noritah , Zainal Zainor Izat Binti , Awang Mohammad Ewan Bin
Published: December 2023

Philip K. Dick takes the highly computerized but ruined Los Angeles of the United States after the post-apocalyptic war as the background and brings the cyberspace struggle between androids and humans as the novel's theme, sketching a cyberpunk society in which humans and androids fight against each other. The novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? invites people to think about cyberspace and human-androids subjectivity. Inspired by Slavoj Zizek's critical theory of cyberspace, this paper uses this science-fiction force as a text to explore how contemporary American science fiction reconstructs a revolutionary human-androids subject in cyberspace, challenging human subjectivity in the urban space. Faced with human-android coexistence, Dick affirms the coexistence of multiple subjects using equal dialogue, fully exploits the advantages of androids and humans, and constructs the subject with human-androids. Through an in-depth study of androids, this paper concludes that in a human-androids coexistence space, humans and androids should not be in a master-slave relationship; instead, they are each other's constitutive Other. Humans should try to break the boundary between self and others to accept a pluralistic and open subject.
Bringing Autonomy to EFL Learners at Qassim University: A Study of the Role of Materials in Learning
Authors: Alqasham Fahd Hamad
Published: December 2023

This research centers on the contextualization of Supplementary and Self-Learning Materials (SSLM) as a means to elevate students' proficiency in grammar. The research delved into the correlation between the learners' attitudes towards learning the English language and their corresponding achievement scores by adopting a quasi-pre-test-post-test-experimental research design for the inquiry. The study participants were 10 cohort EFL learners enrolled at Qassim University, Saudi Arabia. Convenience sampling was judiciously employed in the sample selection process. Prior to and following the implementation of the SSLM interventions, scores were meticulously documented. To ascertain whether or not any improvement seen was significant, the Wilkinson test was diligently applied. The results conclusively revealed a marked increase in the students' achievement scores after the assimilation of SSLM. Surprisingly, the study discerned that there was no discernible relationship between the students' attitudes and their achievement scores, as the data analysis unequivocally demonstrated. The study was enriched by the invaluable recommendations to be offered to the researcher by teacher-evaluators. One overarching suggestion was to fortify and refine the design of the learning materials to ensure seamless alignment with learning goals and enhance overall course efficacy for the benefit of the students. Generally, the study underscores the paramount importance of adapting learning materials to meet the dynamic needs of students in contemporary times. By focusing on the contextualization of SSLM, it was evident that students' grammar competence could be notably elevated, ushering in a new era of effective instructional materials that allowed for greater learner autonomy.

Published: December 2023

To reveal the features of the central nervous system and the severity of hemispheric asymmetry in volleyball athletes with hearing deprivation. Materials and methods: The study involved 14 athletes with hearing deprivation of varying degrees, aged 20 to 35 years (mean age 29.20 ± 1.3 years), with different sports qualifications. When evaluating the indicators of a simple visual-motor reaction, the reaction time, the degree of its stability, the level of functional capabilities of the nervous system of athletes were determined. To determine manual asymmetry, M. Annette's questionnaire, motor tests (dynamometry, tests for the interlacing of hands and applause) were used, and the coefficient of the right hand was calculated. When detecting visual asymmetry, the Rosenbach test and the spyglass test were used. The ratio of the right eye was also calculated. Results: It was revealed that a third of the examined athletes have a symmetrical distribution of signs both in the visual and manual spheres, a significant dependence of which on sports titles was not found. The time of a simple visual-motor reaction in volleyball athletes with hearing deprivation was reduced. The stability of the reaction and the level of functional capabilities were within the normal range and had a significant dependence on the sports title and category. Conclusion: It was revealed that volleyball players with hearing impair ment form a special type of interhemispheric interaction, characterized by a more even distribution of functional activity between the right and left hemispheres, and in connection with this, a low level of development of manual and visual asymmetry.

Aims: The purpose of our study was to investigate the relationship between mechanical neck pain and sleep disorders, mental and physical fatigue, and the rising expectations of people in modern societies regarding their work, families, and social lives. Mechanical neck pain is a common problem that can result in disability. Methods: We included 230 patients with mechanical neck discomfort, with a mean age of 25.62 ± 9.25years, in our study. The Neck Disability Index, Chalder Fatigue Scale, and Pitssburg Sleep Quality Index was applied to all participant.   Results: Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the overall model explained 22% of the variance of NDI score. Both sleep quality scale and fatigue scale were significantly associated and can predict NDI score (p < 001). Conclusion: sleep quality and fatigue were found among the independent determinants of neck disability. Therefore, physiotherapists who treat patients with mechanical neck pain should advise them to get enough sleep and teach them relaxation techniques to help them feel less stressed and exhausted, which will lower their neck discomfort

Cytokine and chemokine levels in body fluid provide information of altered conditions in patients. The parallel analysis of multiple factors, such as cytokines, from small sample sizes is an interesting approach for the assessment of in vivo activation signatures and functionality after ex vivo stimulation. One interesting application is for therapy monitoring— such as safety data, pharmacodynamics, evidences for mode-of-action and side effects—which is particularly useful for accompanying early phase clinical trials. There are different platforms for multiplex analyses of ligands available. An assay validation of three different platforms for simultaneous quantification of cytokines (Luminex Bio-Plex® 200, Meso Scale Discovery® and Ella® ) was performed in this study. The comparison of multiplex platforms, which use different ways of achieving parallel measurements of biomarkers, reveal the performance strengths and weaknesses. We showed examples of in-house assessments of intra- and inter-assay variations, determination of the range and recovery of classical immunological serum markers and discussed advantages and disadvantages of these three platforms in relation to the question addressed. All the platforms show low intra-assay variances. The Luminex platform shows a high inter-assay variance for the majority of parameters, whereas the MSD and Ella platforms show low inter-assay variances.
Identifying the active pharmaceutical ingredient from a mixture of fumaric acid esters for the treatment of psoriasis: Hints from in vitro investigations

Published: December 2023

A mixture of fumaric acid esters (FAEs) is approved for the oral therapy of psoriasis. However, for a long time the active ingredient of this mixture was unknown. We reviewed the in vitro data available for the different FAEs present in the multi compound drug and elaborate how they may contribute to possible clinical effects. Although helpful overall, many in vitro data must be viewed critically because the concentrations used in the experiments exceed the plasma levels reached in patients. The data suggest that dimethylfumarate (DMF) is the most active compound, mediating the major therapeutic effect after metabolization into monomethylfumarate (MMF) via an according receptor expressed on target cells. Identifying the active pharmaceutical ingredient within a mixture of compounds helps to subsequently eliminate unnecessary, potentially harmful compounds. This provides a promising example for an alternative precision medicine approach in clinical practice.

Seguindo essa premissa a problematização desta pesquisa está pautada em conceituar a violência infantil, bem como identificar os possíveis fatores, e as consequências que influenciam para o aumento da violência intrafamiliar, e a funcionalidade terapêutica que esses líderes devem possuir. Dos resultados esperados pode-se verificar que esses líderes como terapeutas familiares não podem se atribuir do papel de julgar nem de punir, e sim, possuir o conhecimento necessário para que seja um facilitador de aprendizagens, crescimento e desenvolvimento para aqueles que os procuram.

RELIGIOSIDADE, SEGUIMENTO E DESPERTAR DA CONSCIÊNCIA PARA SANNYASINS DO OSHO
Authors: Kossar Furtado Kevin
Published: December 2023

O presente trabalho se constitui de parte dos resultados de pesquisa que investiga como sannyasins brasileiros do guru indiano Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, o Osho, se apropriam das referências do seu legado que orientam a religiosidade. Através de pesquisa documental na OSHO Online Library e de pesquisa bibliográfica, o artigo trata das dificuldades em definir e demarcar os novos movimentos religiosos; e da trajetória de Osho e do movimento Rajneesh. Por fim, a partir da apreensão de entrevistas em profundidade, discute as crenças dos sannyasins na existência de entes sobrenaturais; o seu contato com outros mestres espirituais; o modo como assimilam os ensinamentos do Osho; os significados do Osho e os motivos para seu seguimento; como compreendem o despertar da consciência/a iluminação e de como os ensinos do Osho os acompanham em tal processo.

O estudo discorre sobre educação e espiritualidade no povo indígena Xukuru do Ororubá, situado no município de Pesqueira e Poção - PE. Como objetivo, busca-se compreender acerca dos processos educativos vivenciados em uma escola indígena, localizada no referido território, destacando a espiritualidade enquanto princípio educativo, com vistas à construção humana na sua integralidade. A abordagem teórica ancora-se em estudos realizados por Röhr (2012; 2013), Policarpo Júnior (2010), Wilber (2012). Os estudos desenvolvidos por esses autores possibilitam o recorte epistemológico da pesquisa, e, em vista disso, realiza-se a interpretação dos dados da pesquisa de campo. A relação da tarefa educacional com espiritualidade evidencia que a educação perfaz um percurso que conduz educador e educando à formação humana integral. O estudo contribui para a área das Ciências da Religião, imbricado ao campo religioso brasileiro, cultura e comunidade indígena.
FEMINISMO E CONTRATO
Authors: Severino Marcina Barros
Published: December 2023

Este artigo apresenta uma crítica ao contrato social de Hobbes, que não pode ser visto como uma proposta de liberdade universal, uma vez que criou mecanismos naturalizados de exclusão às mulheres. As análises da obra não são neutras e são herdeiras dos valores e cultura do seu tempo. Por meio de uma análise bibliográfica demonstramos que o medo da cristandade vivenciado pelas mulheres criou mecanismos de exclusão que foram naturalizados e ainda perduraram nos dias atuais, levando às situações de opressões, violências, feminicídios e representação feminina insuficiente nos espaços de poder. Propomos algumas soluções estruturais para equidade de gênero, tais como: propagação e discussão dos direitos da mulher, a sensibilização da sociedade civil para mudança de comportamento em relação a naturalização do assédio sofrido pela mulher; e por fim, a ampliação de Delegacias de Defesa da Mulher e das medidas protetivas para mulheres em situação de violência doméstica e familiar.
ENTRE A SAUDADE E O SONHO
Authors: Huff Junior Arnaldo Erico
Published: December 2023

O artigo pretende interpretar duas canções de Antonio Carlos Jobim, “Garota de Ipanema” (em parceria com Vinicius de Moraes) e “Sabiá” (em parceria com Chico Buarque), em diálogo com a teopoética de Rubem Alves. Aspectos melódicos, harmônicos, históricos e estético-poéticos da canção são, nesse sentido, interpretados e discutidos sob inspiração das noções alvesianas de beleza, saudade e sonho.
AGNÓSTICOS, ATEUS E SEM RELIGIÃO COM CRENÇA
Authors: Ritz Claudia Danielle de Andrade
Published: December 2023

Este artigo é parte integrante da pesquisa de doutorado que versa sobre o fenômeno dos sem religião. Objetivamos apresentar, por meio das contribuições dos participantes agnósticos, ateus e sem religião com crença, os dados relativos às preferências de lazer destes indivíduos. As preferências reverberam alguns traços identitários e indicam afeições. Consideramos a identidade como um processo dinâmico e parte integrante da (re)composição da memória dos indivíduos no tempo e no espaço. A metodologia utilizada foi mista, composta por referencial teórico e pesquisa de campo, realizada por questionário estruturado digital. A partir das contribuições das pessoas sem religião, concluímos que as atividades compreendidas no escopo da arte são privilegiadas por estes indivíduos. Em contraponto, foi verificada a ausência de menção à religião ou atividades religiosa dentre as preferências. Concluímos que há um processo de reconfiguração identitária e recomposição da memória religiosa, sugestiva de fragilização da herança religiosa. Outrossim, de acordo com os dados, observamos nas pessoas sem religião, indícios de individualização e desinstitucionalização na recepção e vivência da arte, similar ao processo notado no escopo da identificação religiosa.
RELIGIÃO E HERMENÊUTICA
Authors: Hinrichsen Luís Evandro
Published: December 2023

Vivemos tempos de negação do logos via sequestro e manipulação da mensagem religiosa por objetivos escusos. As religiões, mediações que visibilizam e viabilizam a relação com o Sagrado, vivência individual e comunitária, incontáveis vezes, são instrumentalizadas por interesses questionáveis, como conquista de poder político institucional. Considerando que os seres humanos, em processo de transcendência, através de símbolos religiosos vivenciam o sagrado, conquistando equilíbrio emocional e social, realizar uma crítica das práticas religiosas é sumamente importante. Se as religiões oscilam entre autenticidade e inautenticidade, o horizonte ético da prática religiosa recusa a manipulação e solicita o esclarecimento. O esclarecimento e a superação dos literalismos e fundamentalismos tornam-se vitais em sociedades democráticas, nas quais há a benéfica separação entre religiões e Estado e vigora o Estado democrático de Direito. As Religiões, entretanto, sem impor, mas, propondo, devem contribuir ao debate pública, assumindo a pluralidade através do diálogo intercultural, ecumênico e inter-religioso. O diálogo inter-religioso revelará diferenças, mas, um comum legado ético em defesa da dignidade da pessoa e da vida. Nunca mais, conforme Papa Francisco, as religiões sejam instrumentalizadas para justificar violências ou guerras, ao contrário, via amizade social possam contribuir – através da solidariedade, justiça e cuidado para com a Casa Comum – à Paz.
The study on the self-cleaning property of hydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane/nano-CaCO3 coating
Authors: Abdul Jaafar Amirul Syafiq Bin
Published: December 2023

Dust depositions always degrade the building’s value due to the growth of mold and fungi. Manual cleaning is required to clean the building glass frequently which is time-consuming and costly. Self-cleaning coating is an effective and practical way to reduce dust accumulation. Using the sol-gel method, this study synthesized the self-cleaning polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)/nano-calcium carbonate (CaCO3) coating. The coating recorded the water contact angle (WCA) of 99.5° ± 0.5°, indicating the hydrophobic property. The embedded nanoparticles create air pockets that reduce the adhesion between water droplets and glass surface. The hydrophobic coated glass showed the self-cleaning effect where the coating achieves a low dust haze of about 32% at the sliding angle 25°. The water contact angle (WCA) of the coating system degrades to 98.2° ± 1.2°, indicating the coated glass can maintain its hydrophobic property in the real environment after 1 month of outdoor exposure. In comparison, the bare glass showed large dust haze value above 50% due to the dust accumulation impact.
