Objective: Anxiety is an unpleasant feeling characterized by symptoms of tachycardia, sweating, and stress. The exact relationship between anxiety and cardiovascular disorder is not well distinguished. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between anxiety disorders and anthropometric indices and risk factors, including fasting blood sugar (FBS), hyperlipidemia, and hypertension, according to the results, FBS low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and symptoms of cardiovascular disorder in children and adolescents aged 6 to 18 years.
Method: In this community-based study, multistage cluster sampling method was used. We randomly selected 1174 children and adolescents who referred to Afshar hospital in Yazd, then, 167 blocks were randomly collected by each cluster head. Each cluster consisted of 6 cases, including three cases of each gender in different age groups (6-9, 10- 14, and 15-18 years). The clinical psychologists instructed the participants to complete the Persian version of Kiddie-Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia - Present and Lifetime version (K-SADS-PL). In addition, cardiovascular risk factors were determined for participants and demographic data were obtained from the participants.
Results: A total of 1035 children and adolescents participated in this study. The results showed that 228 of the participants (22.2%) suffered from anxiety disorder. There was an indirect significant correlation between anxiety disorder and the symptoms of heart palpitation, shortness of breath, and chest pain. There was no statistically significant relationship between the different types of anxiety disorders and FBS, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension. According to the results, FBS and LDL are a predictor for anxiety disorders.
Conclusion: There was a statistically significant association between anxiety in children and adolescents and some risk factors of cardiovascular disorder. Also, this study introduces some cardiovascular predictors of anxiety. However, further studies are needed in this regard.

Authors: Hejazi Sima Sadat , Hosseini Meimanat , Ebadi Abbas , Alavi Majd Hamid
Published: September 2021

Objective: Caregiver burden is defined as the physical, financial, mental, and social problems stemmed from providing care for one of the family members who is involved with a medical problem. The precise measurement of caregiver burden is crucial, and it is essential to have an appropriate and specific tool for measuring caregiver burden. This study will be carried out using sequential exploratory mixed-method design with the aim of development and psychometric evaluation of a questionnaire for caregiver burden in family caregivers of hemodialysis patients.
Method: The study will be done in 2 phases: 1. qualitative study and literature review, and 2. designing and psychometric evaluation of the questionnaire. In the qualitative phase, family caregivers of hemodialysis patients, patients, nurses, physicians, and social workers will be selected using the maximum variation purposive sampling method. Data will be gathered through semi-structured interviews using a combination of the questions derived from the model and open-ended questions and will be analyzed using directed content analysis. The literature review will be carried out based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses to improve the reporting of the systematic review. After developing the primary item pool, in the quantitative phase, the psychometric properties of the questionnaire will be evaluated. In this regard, face, content, and construct validity (exploratory factor analysis), internal consistency (Alpha’s Cronbach), reliability (test-retest), responsiveness, interpretability, and feasibility of the questionnaire will be assessed.
Results: The primary questionnaire will be developed based on the qualitative and systematic literature review; then, its psychometric properties will be assessed in the second phase. The result section will consist of the findings of these two phases.
Conclusion: It seems that a specific questionnaire could be a facilitator of identifying and measuring the actual caregiver burden.

Published: September 2021

Medical professionalism has a crucial role in educating medical students. The role of professionalism in the clinical environment is therefore an important factor in medical education. This study attempts to evaluate the opinions of medical students in the teaching hospitals of Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) about the professionalism environment in this university. A sample of 165 students filled out the Persian translation of UMKC-SOM (Climate of Professionalism Survey) questionnaire. This instrument evaluates students’ perspectives on the degree of adherence to professionalism by faculty, residents and other students. The results of the study revealed that the total score of professionalism climate was 53.9 for faculty, 42.09 for residents, and 50.76 for students and the difference between these three groups was statistically significant (p-value < 0.01). Results of further analysis through post-hoc tests for multiple comparisons among the groups revealed that the students found their fellow students and faculty more professional than residents. The study also showed that the medical ethics course had no impact on perceptions observations (p-values > 0.05). The study results also revealed that the students found their fellow students and faculty more professional than residents. This finding demonstrates the importance of teaching professionalism to residents since they serve as role models for students. Further multicenter studies are needed to improve the professionalism climate in the medical teaching environment.

Published: September 2021

Background: Binders play on important role in providing compactness and hardness to the complete feed block (CFB). Hardness of the block is also important to increase the durability of the block. In this view, the present comprehensive study is being taken up to evaluate the effect of different binders on the physical characteristics of the complete feed blocks. Methods: The complete feed is formulated to contain 10.5% CP and 55% TDN based on ICAR-2013 requirements. Feed blocks were prepared with sorghum stover (Roughage to concentrate ratio 50:50) using different binders such as molasses (M), guar meal (GM) and condensed distillery soluble (CDS) at different levels @ 6%, 8% and 10%. The complete feed mixtures were densified into blocks in horizontal feed block-making machine at 1500 psi for a dwell time of one minute. The feed blocks were stored for 48 hr to dry and evaluated for the physical and drying characteristics. Result: The bulk density and durability was higher (P less than 0.001) in M-8, M-10 and GM-10 feed blocks. The GM-8 blocks had higher bulk density (P less than 0.001) but less durable (P less than 0.001) than the other feed blocks. Durability and bulk density of GM-10 and M-10 blocks were comparable with M-8 feed blocks but the PCE of GM-10 and M-10 blocks was 11.61 and 10.75% higher than the M-8 blocks, respectively. CDS when included at 6, 8 or 10% as a binder, the blocks could not be prepared. Based on these results it was concluded that molasses at 8% is best for preparation of the CFBs.

Significant darkening of the QCD redgram dhal was observed on storage. There was decrease in solids dispersed and water absorption among all the three cultivars with a progressive increase in the cooking time, without affecting the organoleptic properties of the dhal.
Saga of Hunger in India- Challenges, Chances and Resolutions: A Review
Authors: Pampori Zahoor A.
Published: September 2021

India became independent in 1947, when it was still reeling from the impact of the 1943 Bengal famine and world as a whole was experiencing the brunt of world war second. Thus India was born hungry in a hungry world. The country leaders were well aware of the challenge that India was expected to face in terms of food security and it was Jawaharlal Nehru who said everything can wait but not agriculture. The first president of India Rajendra Prasad after taking the chair, the first thing he did was to hoist the flag at the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, declaring “India’s most pressing task would be to conquer the battle of hunger. The Indian population has increased tremendously from 376 million in 1950 to 1380 million in 2020 and it is agriculture and its allied sectors that sustained such a huge population. India still has a significant proportion of population 14% undernourished, 35% children stunted, 20% children underweight, 52% women of reproductive age anaemic. India could bring out green revolution, white revolution and blue revolution in order to provide food security to its people. India presently is not food deficient; it has attained self sufficiency in food production and stands exporters of food. However the irony is that India stands at place 102 in global hunger index with score of 30 that is a matter of concern (Global Hunger Index-GHI, 2019). The problem is in making this food available to the people or access to the food is ensured. India needs nutritional security rather than food security besides transformation in agriculture and allied sectors to become free from hunger. The task is tough and precipitated by Covid-19 pandemic, but not impossible. India has much strength but will need research, extension, implementation and policy framing to have sustainable, nutrition sensitive, climate resilient, integrated and smart agriculture to eliminate hunger.

Authors: Merkulova A. O. , Kharitonova A. Yu. , Karaseva O. V. , Shavrov A. A.
Published: September 2021

Introduction. Esophageal stenosis in childhood is quite a common disease characterized by different etiology, specific clinical picture, wide range of differential diseases and a variety of approaches to its treatment.Material and methods. The review analyzes scientific literature presented in such search engines as Medline, PubMed, Cochrane Library, eLibrary, 20 years deep. The most significant works of the last century were included too. Keywords were used for search.Results. There were selected 60 literary sources which included the description of modern concepts of etiopathogenesis, classification, diagnostic and curative techniques for the treatment of esophageal stenosis in children. A particular attention is paid to the safety and effectiveness of minimally invasive endoscopic interventions (bougienage, balloon dilation) as well as to the topical application of Mitomycin C in the treatment of esophageal stenosis in children.Conclusion. Innovative endoscopic technologies applied for the restoration of the esophageal lumen seem to be promising, effective and safe. In the overwhelming majority of cases, they allow to reduce surgical aggression and avoid complex reconstructive surgeries.

Published: September 2021

Introduction. A combination of two rare congenital lung diseases - congenital cystic-adenomatous malformation of the lower lobe of the left lung and intralobar sequestration of the lung- is an extremely rare pathology in medical practice.Material and methods. The article describes a case of successful treatment of an 8-year-old child with cystic-adenomatous transformation of the lower lobe of the left lung in combination with intralobar sequestration. A child with chronic pneumonia was prescribed CT of his chest organs with intravenous contrast enhancement. A combination of cystic adenomatous malformation with intralobar sequestration of the lung was revealed at this examination. The sequestration zone was supplied with blood via the artery from the thoracic aorta, and the wide vein went towards the opposite hemithorax and flowed into the azygos vein. The patient had a planned surgery: left-sided lateral thoracotomy, lower lobectomy with ligation of additional vessels.Results. The early postoperative period was uneventful. Next year, there were no exacerbations of pneumonia. The child considers himself healthy. The histological report No. 31568 - 31577 confirmed type II cystic adenomatous malformation with sequestration of the lung.Conclusion. Modern diagnostic tools allow to put a correct diagnosis at the preoperative stage. In the described case, possible intraoperative complications were avoided because surgeons knew specific blood supply in the diseased area before surgery.

Introduction. Neonatal ovarian cysts develop in case of hormonal imbalance in the mother-placenta-fetus system. Cystic transformation in the ovary may cause appendage torsion which leads to follicular necrosis and loss of ovarian reserve. Most often, torsion occurs in the utero, but in premature girls- due to the specific hormonal status - the risk of cyst growth and its torsion remains in the postnatal period. Currently, a unified approach to the surgical treatment of neonatal ovarian cysts is absent.Material and methods. In the department of pediatric surgery for malformations in the Perinatal Center of the Amazov National Medical Research Center, 34 girls with ovarian cysts were examined during 2012-2020; 9 of them (27%) were premature. In the presented observation, we faced an ovarian cyst in the fetus of 30 week gestation.Results. The cyst looked uncomplicated, but had the enormous size, so we discussed a possibility to perform an intrauterine puncture. However, due to severe hemolytic disease of the fetus and premature delivery, the intervention was not carried out. By the third week of life, torsion of the cystic-transformed ovary developed; necrosis and self-amputation of the right uterine appendage were revealed intraoperatively. By the age of three months, cystic transformation of the only ovary developed. Timely performed laparoscopic fenestration was organ-sparing. Further follow-up revealed preserved and normally growing single ovary what confirmed the right choice of surgical tactics.Conclusion. Dynamic ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs is indicated to all premature girls, at least once every two weeks (in case of revealed ovarian cyst - weekly). We consider it reasonable to make the laparoscopic fenestration of uncomplicated cysts that have size of 3 cm and more. Newborn girls with ovarian cysts should be under the joint control of pediatrician and pediatric gynecologist for developing an individual follow-up plan.

Published: September 2021

Introduction. Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare volumetric neoplasm in the childhood which originates from the mesodermal tissue , and by the classification of soft tissue tumors refers to the tumors with intermediate biological potential.Purpose. To present a case of rare volumetric formation in the lungs and mediastinum in children.Material and methods. The publication presents three clinical observations of children with IMT. In all three boys (aged 6, 8 and 15), tumors were localized in the right hemithorax: lower lobe of the lung (two children), upper anterior mediastinum (one) without a reliable organ accessory.Results. There were no specific clinical symptoms of the disease. In two children, the volumetric formation was found accidentally: in one child, a rounded tumor above the liver was found during an ultrasound examination of the abdomen; in the other one, during chest X-ray prophylactic examination. Only in one case, the lung tumor caused respiratory failure during exercise due to the complete atelectasis of the lower lobe and emphysema of the middle lobe which was caused by the growth of the tumor from the parenchyma of the lower lobe into the lumen of the lower lobe and intermediate bronchi. There were no significant shifts in clinical and biochemical blood tests. Cancer markers were negative. Surgery was indicated because of the volume formation topography which was confirmed by the multispiral computed tomography with vascular contrast and fibrobronchoscopy. Surgical volume – thoracotomy, lobtumorectomy (1 child); thoracotomy, pulmonotomy, tumorectomy (1 child); thoracoscopy, removal of the mediastinal tumor (1 child). The most technically difficult was mobilization and removal of the mediastinal tumor when it was separated from the superior vena cava and in the chest aperture where it was intimately fused with the brachiocephalic vein. The postoperative period was without complications. All children recovered.Conclusion. IMT of the thoracic organs is not a rare case. It is not possible to reliably verify the nature of the tumor process in the preoperative period. Surgical treatment is radical and, in some cases, endovideotechnologies may be applied.
Peut-on vendre la périphéricité ? Observations sur les péritextes éditoriaux des romans polonais traduits en français
Authors: Łapiński Paweł
Published: September 2021

The position of Polish literature in France is strictly marginal and is thus an excellent example of the relationship between the centre of the European book market and its periphery, regulated by dominant languages and characterised by an imbalance in the exchange of cultural goods. Such a situation makes it possible for French publishers to use the peripherality category as a marketing tool in order to draw the attention of potential readers to books from a distant and unfamiliar region. The article attempts to examine whether and how publishers highlight the peripheral nature of Polish literature in the paratexts of published translations. The research corpus consists of books published between 2008 and 2018 by four publishers: Noir sur Blanc, Actes Sud, Mirobole, and Agullo, who are among the most active entities importing Polish literature to France in the studied period.
La traductologie polonaise en anglais ? Du « centre » et de la « périphérie » de la recherche traductologique en Pologne
Authors: Tryuk Małgorzata
Published: September 2021

The paper focuses on the growing role of English in translation and interpreting Studies in Poland and the possible consequences on communication within the Polish academic community in the country and abroad. Since more than two decades, as a rule, English has been used as a means of communication, with a growing number of publications in Polish journals and reviews, PhD theses defended in Polish universities and conferences held exclusively in English. As in other countries, English has become the main discussion subject in translation and interpreting studies. Consequently, a significant number of researchers who have a limited knowledge of English do not belong to the community of English studies scholars or use other languages as their means of communication and subject of research, are excluded from the scientific debate.Using a sociometric methodology, the paper draws a profile of research and researchers based on the output of their writings and research on translation and interpreting in the years 2015‒2019. It covers the evolution, the characterization of the field of research, the evolution of the Polish academic community, and finally, the dissemination of the Polish scholars’ studies. The survey ends with a reflection on possible perspectives for future sociometric analysis of translation and interpreting studies in Poland.
L’original bilingue, ou la traduction impossible : autour de « L’homme invisible / The Invisible Man » de Patrice Desbiens
Authors: Warmuzińska-Rogóż Joanna
Published: September 2021

Le récit/the story entitled Lʼhomme invisible / The Invisible Man (1981) by Patrice Desbiens, a bilingual Franco-Ontarian writer and poet, encourages us to reflect on a bilingual original and to rethink the relationship between the centre and the periphery in the translational context. Bilingualism is an integral part of the book: Patrice Desbiens builds his identities on “two mother tongues” by juxtaposing the two versions of his text. A detailed analysis of the story in French and English shows important differences between them. What is more, only a simultaneous reading of the two versions makes it possible to fully understand the idea of the story and the complicated relations between the two cultures. The article is a reflection on the impossibility of translating an original built on the presence of two languages, an inherent and specific feature of Desbiens’ text.
Transfert de littérature étrangère et bilinguisme. Cas de la littérature polonaise dans les langues périphériques d’Espagne et de ses traductions préalables en castillan
Authors: Wesoła Justyna
Published: September 2021

The study tries to answer the question of how literary translation functions in bilingual conditions. By analysing the history of Polish literature in Spanish, Catalan, Galician and Basque, the author attempts to explain how the translation into a dominant language affects translations in dominated languages. The results of the study indicate that the dominant language is always a reference point for translations in peripheral languages, although it can be both an impulse and an obstacle to their creation depending on the model of conduct adopted by the language.
Les enjeux de la traduction littéraire en langue périphérique et post-vernaculaire. Le cas du judéo-espagnol
Authors: August-Zarębska Agnieszka , Paprocka Natalia
Published: September 2021

In this contribution, we study a small corpus of contemporary literary translations into the Judeo-Spanish language, considered both peripheral and post-vernacular, in order to understand the directions and specificities of the literary import into this language, the roles played by these translations, and the motivations of the actors involved in the translation process.We proceed in four steps: (1) first, we study the historical context of both Judeo-Spanish language and the literature created in it; (2) secondly, we present their diametrically different situation after the Second World War; (3) against this background, we present the identified translations and analyse their formal and editorial characteristics (authors, publishers, translators, original languages, dates of publication, formats, layouts), as well as their paratexts; (4) finally, we study the results of this analysis in the light of both concepts of peripherality and post-vernacularity.
Dialectic aspects between periphery and center: the translations of Aeschylus’ tragedies into French by Olivier Py
Authors: Baïraktari Maria
Published: September 2021

“Periphery” and “centre” are two concepts which could be examined in terms of geographic, linguistic, or cultural variations and constants at different periods of human history. If world literature is a united system, with an unequal center and periphery, the interlinguistic translation of Aeschylusʼ tragedies into French by Olivier Py in the twenty-first century will serve as an example in order to highlight the various facets of this multidimensional relationship. Olivier Py, an award-winning prose and theatre writer, poet, director, actor, translator, director of the Avignon Festival since 2013, translated and directed all seven surviving Aeschylean tragedies between 2008 and 2017. He thus played the role of a cultural mediator who ensured the transition from the source language to the target language by creating texts designed to be presented on stage, and following the priorities of the codified theatrical discourse of tragedy. Based on this process, the author exam-ines the various spatio-temporal and cultural relationships between periphery and centre in order to present the main points of Olivier Py’s translation strategy.
Un petit éditeur en périphérie du système : les traductions d’ouvrages en sciences humaines dans le catalogue de la maison d’édition « słowo/obraz terytoria »

Published: September 2021

The topic raised in this article is the starting point for a statistical analysis of foreign language texts in the field of the humanities published by the Polish publishing house “słowo/obraz terytoria” from its establishment in 1995 until September 2019. The article also analyses the factors that make up this aspect of the publishing house’s achievements and specifies their role in the phenomenal development of the institution, which began as a small peripheral entity but is now recognized as an elite humanities publisher in Poland. This article considers the following factors determining the nature of the humanistic thought transfer through the publications of “słowo/obraz terytoria”:
— the subject matter of translated works,
— languages and authors of original works,
— the number of translated works,
— authors of translations.
Une cartographie des traductions belges au XIXe siècle : centralisation et périphérisation des langues nationales
Authors: D’hulst Lieven
Published: September 2021

The metaphors of centre and periphery tend to reduce the complexity of language relations and interlingual exchanges that are featured by multilingual societies. At a crucial point of multilingual Belgium’s evolution, i.e. during the 19th century, exchanges between its two major languages, namely French and Flemish, offer a suitable angle to capture the processes of centralisation and peripherisation of both languages. Translingual practices, including translation, are at the heart of these processes. On the one hand, they sustain continuous attempts to impose and maintain the centrality of official French in the legal and administrative domains; on the other hand, they nurture counterbalancing claims for recognition and officialisation of Flemish as an equal language. This contribution puts focus on three major aspects of interlingual exchange: the design and management of Belgian translation policies, the asymmetric translation flows between French and Flemish vs. Flemish and French, and the emancipatory efforts of Flemish and its modest effects, notably in the literary domain.
Une théorie itinérante ? La pensée traductologique occidentale dans la traduction russe (réception éditoriale)
Authors: Kaźmierczak Marta
Published: September 2021

The aim of this paper is to survey what texts and authors representing Western translation studies have been rendered into Russian over the last seven decades, and to describe the dynamics of the emergence of these translations, as well as possible agendas behind the choices. The findings lead to the tentative conclusion that, especially in the 20th century, translations were few (other means of translation studies knowledge transfer are touched upon). Renditions as such are only now beginning to play a part in the dissemination process.
L’Afrique du Nord, un nouveau centre littéraire français entre 1940 et 1944 ? L’exemple de « Tunisie française littéraire » au miroir de la traduction
Authors: Lombez Christine
Published: September 2021

The German Occupation of France (starting in summer 1940) brought about a brutal reclassification of literary values and a redefinition of “center” and “periphery” in the French Republic of Letters. The outcome of this phenomenon is particularly interesting in North Africa between 1940–1944. Indeed, the periodical Fontaine (edited in Algiers by Max Pol Fouchet), as well as Tunisie française littéraire (edited in Tunis under the aegis of Armand Guibert and Jean Amrouche), express a strong desire to take over a Parisian “center” discredited by the Occupation and the Collaboration, and create new “literary capitals” on the fringes of the metropolis. This paper focuses on Tunisie française littéraire (a very influential publication in North Africa during the war, to which A. Camus and G. Stein contributed), analyses the role of cultural mediation played by literary journals geographically “peripheral” and their members in an attempt to redefine the contours of the “center” (Paris) and the “periphery” (the French colonial Empire) — an initiative where translations, particularly of indigenous authors, proved to be an important issue.

O presente trabalho Itapecerica da Serra (SP): a visualidade e a percepção do núcleo central pela memória iconográfica e comportamental é um estudo do espaço central da cidade de Itapecerica da Serra, sua arquitetura, seus usos, vivências e costumes que se perpetuam desde a vila colonial, os grupos sociais que ali vivem ou viveram, suas crenças e ritos e as transformações sofridas pelo núcleo central. Este conteúdo foi analisado por meio de fontes iconográficas (fotografias e mapas). Os dados obtidos na pesquisa histórica e na coleta de material foram comparados e analisados por meio da fenomenologia da percepção, procedimento que evidenciou a influência que as transformações sofridas pelo núcleo central da cidade têm sobre a memória cultural e visual dos habitantes, tornando-a importante dentro do estudo e dando um significado adequado à realidade estudada.
As neo-vanguardas e a cidade
Authors:   Universidade de São Paulo, Santos Fábio Lopes de Souza
Published: September 2021

A produção contemporânea em arte e arquitetura se constrói a partir dos frutos da efervescência dos anos 60, embora esta conexão possa soar estranha a primeira vista: a nossos olhos o horizonte utópico da neo-vanguarda parece pertencer a outra era geológica. Paradoxalmente, enxergamos com maior clareza a continuidade entre as formas artísticas empregadas hoje e aquelas geradas pela neovanguarda do que a dinâmica de fundo que as impulsionou e transformou substancialmente. Paulatinamente, passou-se, nas últimas quatro décadas do discurso moderno contra o caos urbano para outro, que elogia sua heterotopia, tendo como elo justamente manifestações neovanguardistas. Houve um deslizamento gradual desde a hegemonia moderna até a atual apologia da “pluralidade”. A presente comunicação passa em revista algumas produções da neovanguarda artística e arquitetônica, procurando discernir por detrás de sua exorbitante diversidade algumas motivações compartidas subjacentes para, num segundo momento, procurar entender a natureza desta paradoxal transformação.

Uma visão da crítica da arte brasileira no século XIX: Angelo Agostini
Authors:   Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Silva Rosangela de Jesus
Published: September 2021

A crítica realizada por Angelo Agostini através das caricaturas e dos textos nos mostram uma grande inquietação do artista para com as Belas Artes. Nessa comunicação gostaríamos de enfocar um pouco da visão de Agostini com relação à crítica de arte. Sua opinião foi bastante severa. Para Agostini a crítica não era construtiva. Ou era feita para enobrecer os artistas incondicionalmente, ou ao contrário feita de forma a destruir as possibilidades em torno do artista, ou seja, uma crítica sem medidas ou limites de bom senso. Mesmo com todas essas reservas, Agostini acreditava na importância da crítica, pois através dela se julgavam os trabalhos e desta forma poderia se contribuir muito para o desenvolvimento dos artistas, para seu aperfeiçoamento. A crítica era considerada um instrumento de distinção fundamental para a arte.

Na constituição de uma coleção museológica de obras de arte, as escolhas estão pautadas na relevância histórica do nome do artista, do período, da técnica, do estilo. De acordo com os historiadores Giulio Carlo Argan e Maurizio Fagiolo, uma obra é vista como obra de arte quando tem importância na história da arte e contribui para a formação e desenvolvimento de uma cultura artística. E a constituição de uma coleção museológica de fotografias, em quais critérios estão pautadas as escolhas? De que modo a história da fotografia está articulada à história da arte? Como objeto de análise está a Coleção PirelliMasp de Fotografia, a partir da qual proponho pensar de que modo são elaborados discursos para a inserção de imagens fotográficas em uma determinada cultura artística moderna.

Published: September 2021

A Artemídia, forma de expressão artística contemporânea em constante transformação graças a sua gênese nas novas tecnologias e na figura do artista-pesquisador, evidencia as relações entre Arte e Ciência, impondo um novo desafio no âmbito da divulgação científica: comunicar a pesquisa em Arte com o mesmo rigor acadêmico das pesquisas em diferentes áreas. Esse é o tema do projeto “Divulgação Artístico-Científica: Artemídia Veemente”, desenvolvido no Instituto de Artes da Unesp. O presente trabalho coloca a participação da pesquisadora no II Encontro de História da Arte da Unicamp como um experimento prático do projeto. Relacionando História e Jornalismo, o presente trabalho aponta a importância da divulgação científica da Artemídia como fonte para comunicadores, divulgadores de ciência e historiadores da arte.
Narrativas da paisagem como documentação patrimonial urbana e arquitetônica
Authors: Rodrigues Isis Meireles , Lemos Celina Borges
Published: September 2021

Neste trabalho trata-se das dimensões material e imaterial da paisagem urbana e ambiental, fruto da polaridade entre o centro antigo e a crescente expansão urbana que ocorre no cotidiano das cidades contemporâneas. O objetivo geral é compreender quais narrativas da paisagem emergem do patrimônio arquitetônico e urbano local e de que forma as mesmas interferem na salvaguarda do patrimônio no conjunto analisado? A metodologia utilizada baseia-se na pesquisa histórica e documental, na Teoria da Paisagem e suas narrativas e na Teoria das Representações Sociais.  O aporte teórico utilizado passa por autores como Bourdieu (1991) (2001); Choay (2017); Moscovici (2015) e outros. Espera-se, a partir dos resultados encontrados, refletir sobre os caminhos possíveis para uma gestão e salvaguarda mais eficaz do patrimônio no século XXI.

Theoretical Studies on the Creation of Artificial Magnetic Monopoles
Authors: Ishiguri Shinichi
Published: September 2021

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the existence of an artificial magnetic monopole and to introduce new electromagnetic equations by altering an electric field and a magnetic field vectors.As a principle device, a cylindrical condenser is prepared, and a superconducting loop is inserted into it. By this conduction, radial electric fields take a role as the centripetal force and both counterclockwise and clockwise motions are induced. As a result, a stationery wave is formed in which the nodes take a part in creating a monopole as follows.First, employing the Lorentz conservations and because node of the stationary wave has no phases, the momentum k and the vector potential A vanish and instead a magnetic potential appears in order to maintain the Lorentz conservation. This magnetic potential has relationship with an electric potential, and thus consequently, a dependent relationship is obtained between an electric field and a magnetic field vectors. Using this conclusive dependent relationship, we can derive new Maxwell equation assembly which are created by altering the electric field and the magnetic field vectors. In this process, we derive a divergent equation of magnetic fields which is not zero, i.e., the existence of a magnetic monopole. Employing these newly derived Maxwell equation, an electromagnetic wave is derived whose speed is the same as one the existing Maxwell equations provide. As a monopole configuration, this paper discusses the energy gap of the vacuum, which is a result of the Dirac equation and describes a monopole as pairs between two Cooper pairs (i.e. four electrons) whose interaction is a photon. As mentioned, because the total momenta and phases are zero, this paper defines the wave function as the Dirac function and demonstrate the condensation, employing the Bloch’s theorem. Moreover, using the macroscopic basic equations, we retrace the creation of the divergent magnetic field in view of macroscopic phenomenon., which provides results in this paper.In Result section in this paper, we succeeded in demonstrating the distribution of the divergent magnetic field of monopole in terms of both microscopic and macroscopic scales. Furthermore, Discussion section describes properties a magnetic monopole should follow.
Canonical Set Theory for Classic Mathematics: A Linear Order on Finite Groups and Structures, with A Natural Extension To Infinite Structures
Authors: Ramírez Juan Pablo
Published: September 2021

We provide an axiomatic base for the set of natural numbers, that has been proposed as a canonical construction, and use this definition of $\mathbb N$ to find several results on finite group theory. Every finite group $G$, is well represented with a natural number $N_G$; if $N_G=N_H$ then $H,G$ are in the same isomorphism class. We have a linear order on all finite groups, that is well behaved with respect to cardinality. In fact, if $H,G$ are two finite groups such that $|H|=m<n=|G|$, then $H<\mathbb Z_n\leq G$. Internally, there is also a canonical order for the elements of any finite group $G$, and we find equivalent objects. This allows us to find the automorphisms of $G$. The Cayley table of $G$ takes canonical block form, and a minimal set of independent equations that define the group is obtained. Examples are given, using all groups with less than ten elements, to illustrate the procedure for finding all groups of $n$ elements, and we order them externally and internally. The canonical block form of the symmetry group $\Delta_4$ is given and we find its automorphisms. These results are extended to the infinite case. A real number is an infinite set of natural numbers. A real function is a set of real numbers, and a sequence of real functions $f_1,f_2,\ldots$ is well represented by a set of real numbers, also. We make brief mention on the calculus of real numbers. In general, we are able to represent mathematical objects using the smallest possible data-type. In the last section, mathematical objects of all types are well assigned to tree structures. We conclude with comments on type theory and future work on computational and physical aspects of these representations.
Cost Implications of Menstrual Hygiene Management in Nigeria and Its Associated Impacts

Published: September 2021

There has been a steady rise in the recognition of menstrual hygiene management (MHM) as a pressing public health issue due to several advocacy campaigns against its high cost. However, not much of such recognition has been given to it outside the non-profit sector in Nigeria. This is paradoxical considering that most menstruators in Nigeria cannot afford MHM whose cost is considered high even in developed countries. We estimated that the average lifetime cost of MHM in Nigeria is US$1,122.3 per menstruator and US$113.58 billion for the entire menstruating population. Although this cost is relatively lower than in other countries, Nigeria’s low-income level explains why there is a high prevalence of period poverty among menstruators in Nigeria. This commentary highlights the intersected impacts of the cost of MHM and period poverty on the average Nigerian menstruator, his/her family, the economy, the environment and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. To alleviate the discussed negative effects, we suggested, as a key recommendation, the national shift from the use of disposable MHM products to that of reusable ones.
