“MANARAGA” AND OTHER WRITINGS (Some Aspects of the Russian Literature Model Formation in the Russian Book Market)
Authors:   Matej Bel University, Lizon Martin
Published: July 2021

The article compares the functioning of Russian fiction works in the artistic narrative (“Manaraga”, the short story of Vladimir Sorokin) and in the space of the Slovak book market. It draws attention to the relationship between the works of fiction value and a certain literary space, that is, to the problem of a literary canon formation (pantheon) as an essential component of the literature system. The value in the text is understood as the cultural (symbolic) capital of a work of art, awarded to it by a certain institution, within which the work is functioning. To a certain extent, this perception is opposed by its identification in Sorokin’s short story with economic capital (the cost of individual publications) and the profit expectation from the sale of books by publishers, since these two antagonistic capitals – the cultural and the economic one – are, according to Pierre Bourdieu [Bourdieu 2010], an integral part of literature existence in the literary field. The value of works of fiction in these two systems is considered by the example of the Russian literature model and its hierarchy presented in “Manaraga” and on the basis of the Russian literature model that has developed over the past 30 years in the Slovak book market. The article reveals the parallels between these two systems, which indicate: firstly, Sorokin’s reflection on the Russian literature functioning in the space of world literature; secondly, the essential importance of the value attributed to individual literary texts (the status of a classical writer, or a representative of world literature), as an essential factor of the Russian literature model formation in the Slovak book market.
PLOT ELEMENTS AND MOTIVES OF THE NOVEL “CHEVENGUR” IN PLATONOV’S SHORT STORY “POTUDAN RIVER”
Authors:   Institute of World Literature Russian Academy of Science, Malygina N. Mikhaylovna
Published: July 2021

The relevance of the article is determined by the researcher of the semantic poetics of Platonov’s story “Potudan River”. We carry out an analytical review of the lifetime criticism and articles of modern researchers about the story, on the basis of which we formulate the purpose of the study, due to the need for a new approach to the interpretation of the work and the identification of the principles of its poetics. The novelty of the article is determined by the identification of the multilayered symbolism of the title of the story, which allows to establish the insufficiency of the conclusions that the content of the “Potudan River” is limited to the family theme. At the level of micropoetics we reveal symbolic details that connect the content of the story with the motive of love for the distant, medical and construction subjects and revealing the planetary scale of the author’s thinking. For the first time, it was established that Platonov’s story “Potudan River” was written based on part of the plot of the novel “Chevengur” – the love story of Alexander Dvanov and Sonya Mandrova. We show that the heroes of the story “Potudan River” Nikita Firsov, Lyuba Kuznetsova and Nikita’s father are doubles of the characters in the novel “Chevengur” by Sasha Dvanov, Sonya Mandrova, and Zakhar Pavlovich. The connection of the image of Lyuba with the archetype of the bride is considered. The paper reveals for the first time the intertextual connections of the story “Potudan River” with the poem “The Bronze Horseman” and the novel in verse “Eugene Onegin” by A. Pushkin, in the texts of which the writer found material for modeling the ordinary fate of the hero. Multi-level connections of the content of the story “Potudan River” with Platonov’s artistic world, which is a complete metatext, are found, which opens up new opportunities for determining the role of the editing technique and the principles of returning to the plots and motives of the works of the 1920s, as well as their transformation in the writer’s work of the 1930s.

Authors: Elaskri Khadija , Fakhri Nada , Chad Mohamed Amine , Rherissi Bouchra , Boubrik Fatima , El Kadmiri Nadia
Published: July 2021

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common disease in women around the world. The risk factors associated to BC have been widely discussed in the literature, however, the possible effect of alcohol consumption remains unclear and requires further clarification and in-depth understanding. In this mini-review,  we discusse  numerous prospective studies conducted from 1989 to 2018 to monitor the emergence of BC, and to clarify the association between alcohol consumption and BC risk. Results: Alcohol consumption is positively associated with the risk of BC compared to non-drinkers. The findings showed that this positive association could be influenced by several factors, including age, premenopausal and postmenopausal status, social factors ,duration and intensity of alcohol use and family history. Conclusion: There is a positive effect of alcohol consumption BC risk  at all levels of consumption.
Cantharis 200c counters heat stress in germinating seeds of Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.
Authors: Sarkar Tandra , Konar Atheni , Sukul Nirmal Chandra , Sukul Nirmal Chandra
Published: July 2021

Background

Thermal stress during early imbibitional phase of germination causes disruption of redox-homeostasis by increasing accumulation of ROS Reactive Oxygen species (assessed in terms of hydrogen peroxide) and significant reduction of antioxidative defense (assessed in terms of catalase and peroxidase) in germinating tissues of cowpea (Vigna ungiculata). It also induces oxidative damage to newly assembled membrane system by aggravating membrane lipid peroxidation [measured in terms of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS)]. Cantharis is a homeopathic remedy used for treating burn injuries in humans. The objective is to see whether potentized Cantharis could ameliorate heat stress in germinating seeds of cowpea.

Methodology

Seeds, imbibed in water overnight, were divided into four groups (n=50/group): Control I (Water 200c), Control II (Ethanol 200c), treated with Cantharis 200c and untreated and unstressed. Water soaked seeds were dipped in control/drug solution for 5 min and then washed. Control II and Cantharis 200c were diluted with water 1:1000 to minimize the ethanol effect. Except the fourth group, all other groups were subjected to heat stress (450C for 8 hours). All the groups were allowed to germinate for 5 days in germination chamber at 25 Â± 20C. Groups 1 and 2 (Control I and II) served as systematic negative controls throughout the experiment. Ten independent replications were performed for each group in parallel. All experiments were randomized and blinded.

Results

The systematic negative controls (I, II) did not produce any significant effect. The results in terms of germination, growth, soluble sugar, protein, accumulation of reactive oxygen species and loss of membrane permeability clearly exhibit that Cantharis 200c could mitigate heat stress significantly (p
Assessment of the effects of Zincum metallicum in maternal deprivation-induced behavioral disturbances in female rats
Authors: Coelho Cideli de Paula , Da Motta Larissa Cristiana A Silveira , Arrifano Victoria , Bernardi Maria Martha
Published: July 2021

Background: Clinical studies have shown that adverse events in early life are quite stressful and can lead to the development of psychiatric disorders, such as anxiety, in adolescence and adulthood in humans. Experimental models of maternal deprivation (MD) in rats can be a useful tool for the understanding how these events in the early period of development can lead to behavioral changes in adulthood. Aims: The objective of this study was to evaluate the long-term effects of Zincum metallicum (Zinc met) homeopathic treatment in rats subjected to maternal deprivation (MD) in their early days of life. Methods: Newborn female rats were subjected to MD during 10 days, one hour per day, from PND10 to PND21, and treated from the 10th day of lactation (PND10) up to weaning (PND21). On the PND21 the rats were divided in 4 groups (N=8): a) treated with Zinc met 30c; b) treated with Zinc met 6c; c) treated with 10% hydroalcoholic solution (HS); and “blank control”, rats without any treatment nor experienced deprivation (ND). The medicines were administered in blind trials, identified by codes. The animals were weighed weekly, from weaning until the end of the experiment, and evaluated in the Open Field (OF) and in the Elevated Plus Maze (EPM) devices, to evaluate mobility, emotionality and anxiety, in 3 moments of life: in PND21 (childhood), during puberty (PND 40) and adulthood (PND75). Data were analyzed statistically by ANOVA, followed by the Bonferroni's Multiple Comparison Test, being p?0.05. Results: 1) relative to ND group the Zinc met 6c showed reduced body weight while no differences were observed between the other groups; 2) In the OF, the MD group showed increased rearing behavior at PND 40. The Zinc met 6c group reversed this effect showing similar profile as the ND group. Moreover, Zinc met 6c group showed increase in the immobility time at this age; 3) In the EPM, the MD group showed increased time in closed arms and decreased head dips relative to ND group in PND21 period of observation. Treatment with Zinc met 6c but not with Zinc met 30c was effective to reduce this anxiety-like behavior in PND21. Conclusion: According to the proposed model, Zincum metallicum 6c seems to be able to prevent in anxiety-like behavior induced by maternal deprivation in the childhood, mainly in behavioral models related to anxiety. However, other studies still need to be developed to understand the physio-pathological basis of these effects.
Secondary ice production during the break-up of freezing water drops on impact with ice particles
Authors: James Rachel L. , Phillips Vaughan T. J. , Connolly Paul J.
Published: July 2021

Abstract. We experimentally investigated collisions of supercooled water drops (∼ 5 mm in diameter) with ice particles of a similar size placed on a glass slide at temperatures T ≥ −12 °C. Our results showed that secondary drops were generated during both the spreading and retraction phase of the supercooled water drop impact. The secondary drops generated during the spreading phase were emitted too fast to quantify. However, quantification of the secondary drops generated during the retraction phase with diameters > 0.1 mm showed that 5–10 secondary drops formed per collision, with approximately 30 % of the secondary drops freezing over a temperature range of −4 °C ≤ T ≤ −12 °C. Our investigation provides the first dedicated laboratory study of collisions of supercooled water drops with ice particles as a secondary ice production mechanism. Our results suggest that this secondary ice production mechanism may be significant for ice formation in atmospheric clouds containing large supercooled drops and ice particles.
The relation between crystal structure and the occurrence of quantum-rotor induced polarization
Authors: Dietrich Corinna , Wissel Julia , Lorenz Oliver , Khan Arafat Hossain , Bertmer Marko , Khazaei Somayeh , Sebastiani Daniel , Matysik Jörg
Published: July 2021

Abstract. Among hyperpolarization techniques, quantum-rotor induced polarization (QRIP), also known as Haupt effect, is a peculiar one. It is on one hand rather simple to apply by cooling and heating of a sample. On the other hand, only the methyl groups of a few substances seem to allow for the effect, which strongly limits the applicability of QRIP. While it is known, that a high tunnel frequency is favorable, the structural requirements for the effect to occur are not exhaustively studied yet. Here we report on our efforts to heuristically recognize structural motifs in molecular crystals able to allow to produce QRIP.

A vacuous screenplay in search of rigour
Authors: Batty Craig
Published: July 2021

A university professor with a reputation for creative practice research finds himself at a

crossroads when, en route to an international conference, he meets a younger and

somewhat modest dementia researcher whose work is clearly having an impact on

people’s lives. A keynote at a creative writing conference in Hawaii, the professor is

impelled to reflect on his own research practice and piece together fragments of his work

history to reassure himself that what he does is not only valid as research, but also that it

has rigour. With flashbacks to a variety of painful and often comic encounters with

colleagues trying to articulate their practice as research, he is able to overcome his midflight, mid-career crisis and come to a renewed and satisfactory understanding of what

good creative practice research is, and how that can be articulated clearly and confidently

to others. Originally performed at the University of Southern Queensland’s inaugural

‘Scriptwriting as Research’ symposium in 2016, _A Vacuous Screenplay in Search of

Rigour_ thus interrogates not only the very mode of creative practice research, but also the

broader (and varied) institutional research cultures within which it operates.
Sluglines as ghostly presence
Authors: Taylor Stayci
Published: July 2021

This short screenplay casts the screenwriter as investigator of screenplay formatting,

through the writing of a script within which she performs this practice. That is to say, the

writer uses a creative practice methodology to critique and examine screenplay formatting

conventions through screenwriting practice itself. Specifically, she explores the role of

the slugline (or scene heading) and the creative possibilities of this element of ‘scene text’

(Sternberg 1997), beyond its practical function in screenwriting and screen production.

The writer drinks with authors, theorists and the fabled typing monkeys in her exploration

of the slugline as punctuation; asking how it might contribute to rhythm and transitions

in screenplays. She considers the slugline in its capacity as ‘extrafictional voice’

(Ingelstrom, 2014) and asks: can sluglines guide editing and mise-en-scene, as Claudia

Sternberg suggests of the impersonal narrative voice? Can sluglines be used repetitively

(as in songwriting) to reinforce imagery and rhythm? The work critically engages with

the traditional INT. and EXT. and also floats a broader question: what might the language

of online abbreviations have to offer screenwriting conventions? A subplot sees a cast

and crew meet for a table read, putting voice to an industry potentially suspicious of such

an endeavour, and providing a playful commentary on the different ways in which the

roles within screen production engage with the traditional screenplay.
Inside the writer’s head: embodying reflection on creative writing processes
Authors: Cake Susan
Published: July 2021

Inside the writer’s head is a response to Ian Macdonald’s discussion of alternative

approaches to assessing screenwriting within Higher Education (2001). Macdonald

argues for consideration of the reflective work of students when assessing their

screenplays. As both an assessor of student screenplays and a doctoral student engaged

in creative practice-led research, this prompted me to consider how my own narrative

comedy screenplays might be assessed as research outputs. My methodology of writing

narrative comedy screenplays mirrored McKee’s (1998) writer’s method and occurred

within an action research cycle of ideation, planning, writing, analysing, reflecting and

evaluating (Christie et al. 2015). Reflective and creative writing processes such as idea

generation, concept development, research and critical feedback were documented in a

reflection journal. This action research cycle generated numerous ideas for screenplays.

The screenplay discussed in this paper uses characters to explore the often competing

rational, intuitive and emotional aspects of screenwriting and in doing so, contributes to

the body of screenplays-as-research artefacts (Baker and Beattie 2013; Baker 2013,

2016; Batty 2014). The characters in Inside the writer’s head articulate thought

processes behind ideation, the role of research and consideration of audience in

developing screenplays. Inside the writer’s head challenges learners of screenwriting to

consider why we write. The screenplay embodies critical reflection and demonstrates

how reflective and creative perspectives can be integrated within the screenplay form.

In doing so, Inside the writer’s head illustrates a hybrid form of screenplay for how

screenplays might be assessed within an academic context.
Ordinary pain: pilot script
Authors: Hart Phoebe
Published: July 2021

This creative work - an hour-long television pilot “dramedy” screenplay entitled Ordinary Pain - emerges out of a scriptwriting as research project within the academy, and seeks to reposition characters with an intersex variation as ‘an everyday social type’. Ordinary Pain is the story of Zoe, a hermaphrodite and creative type based in the bohemian suburbs of the Brisbane postcode of 4101. She is a rare blend of both male and female, and, and is overcoming traumatic

experiences of growing up. This subject could be perceived as unwieldy and sad. Yet the core

character of Zoe is an extraordinary one, trying to live in the ordinary world with the courage

to overcome shame and adversity. Ordinary Pain explores family, gender, sexuality and place

in engaging, inspiring and funny ways, and is informed by reflection on and within

screenwriting practice.
Hallwalkers: queering gender and attraction through/in scriptwriting
Authors: Baker Dallas
Published: July 2021

This creative work (screenplay) is informed by queer theory relating to gender and

sexuality and explores the complex negotiations and disclosures that gender nonconforming persons are often forced to undertake in social situations that are largely

structured by heteronormativity. The screenplay foregrounds the mutable nature of sexual

attraction and actively imagines a scenario in which gender non-conforming persons are

not confronted with fraught, and often dangerous, social navigations and disclosures

about their gender status. The screenplay foregrounds dialogue and direct address as a

subversion of mainstream (masculinist) screen conventions that accentuate the visual

(masculine) over the verbal (feminine) and verisimilitude over self-reflexivity. The script

also makes a contribution to the rethinking of attraction itself, presenting it as fluid and

negotiable rather than fixed. The script deploys these ideas in an accessible way, in the

form of a LGBTIQ romantic drama.
Urban girl: writing the female gothic in the Australian landscape
Authors: McVeigh Margaret
Published: July 2021

Urban Girl is a creative exploration of the use of metaphor and imagery to create

thematic layering in a screenplay by its “power to involve, influence, and instruct by the

combination of form and content” (Mehring, 1990). In writing the short romantic

comedy, Urban Girl, I explore the love travails of a country girl who works in the city.

Maddy is the quintessential successful twenty-something corporate girl. Pretty much an

urban cliché. But in the love stakes she’s cactus. To make it worse, every time she rents

out her spare room, her flat mate finds love. Determined to sort the problem, Maddy

embarks on a one-day makeover of her inner-city apartment. The Feng-Shui way. But she

doesn’t reckon with the forces of nature to disrupt her plans. Urban Girl owes its

inspirations to the landscape and characters of my country childhood and the image of the

female figure in the landscape - urban or rural. In her discussion of the Female Gothic,

Eva Rueschmann (2005) notes that the Gothic in the landscape is both “character and

metaphor, setting and psychic space” expressing the “colonialization of the land through

stories about women who find themselves geographically and psychologically displaced”.

In this script, the imagery of the Gothic with its sense of foreboding and entrapment

(Davies, 2016) and the lyrics of the over-the-top country music soundtrack, serve as

metaphors for how a young woman may be trapped by roles and expectations that thwart

her in her quest for true love.
Seven ways to fate and all
Authors: Wade Bryan
Published: July 2021

This script is the outcome of a practice-led research project exploring the exponential growth

in British Columbia of fentanyl-detected illicit drug overdose deaths. A September 2017

summary from The BC Coroners Service’s confirms a 143% increase in the number of deaths.

In the canon of dramatic screenplays, few scripts explore the domain of drug addiction

exclusively as a subject. In The Man with the Golden Arm (1955), Frank Sinatra plays Frankie Machine, a drug addict who becomes clean in prison and yearns to be a drummer. Yet, his heroin addiction is never specified. In Clean and Sober (1988) Michael Keaton is an alcoholic and cocaine addicted realtor who hides in a treatment center. However, in the recent, Emmy Award winning television series, Breaking Bad, Walter White’s sidekick, Jesse Pinkham, is clearly a heroin addict. My screenplay differs from the above dramas in that most characters are not confirmed addicts. In my dramatized script I portray characters from many walks of life: teenagers, parents, actors, politicians, and the homeless, and show how they struggle with the impact of illicit drug usage. It can happen to anyone. As a character states in Way Five, “It (meaning addiction) is a health issue.” Rather than a screed about illicit opioid use, my screenplay attempts to inform, open conversations and transform attitudes.
Who killed Desdemona?
Authors: Alderdice Scott
Published: July 2021

Despite widely documented innovations integrating theatrical approaches into secondary

school in-classroom engagement with the works of Shakespeare, evidence remains that students and teachers struggle with applying those techniques to the pedagogy of interpretation. Who killed Desdemona? introduces a clown-based approach to an interpretation of Shakespeare’s play, Othello, within a school familiar setting. The screenplay is undergirded by the theories of John Dewey and Jerome Bruner in scaffolding collaborative processes of situated and authentic learning, and integrates the social and peer-learning paradigms of Lev Vygotsky and Etienne Wenger. The screenplay introduces clown-based play and interactivity with both text and live/video attendant audience in negotiating a process of performance-in-rehearsal, where the clowns critically and irreverently unpack and interpret Shakespeare’s text through intermittent discourse and enactment.
La autoridad espiritual femenina en la Castilla bajomedieval y su reflejo en el 'Flos sanctorum' de Alonso de Villegas
Authors: Cortés Timoner M. Mar
Published: July 2021

Este artículo plantea cómo, para ahondar en el estudio de la configuración de una autoridad espiritual femenina que emerge en la Castilla bajomedieval para disminuir décadas después, puede ser revelador analizar el discurso tejido en determinadas hagiografías de mujeres devotas y carismáticas nacidas antes de Teresa de Jesús. En este sentido, resulta interesante el análisis de la Adición a la Tercera Parte (impresa por primera vez en 1588) del Flos Sanctorum de Alonso de Villegas, al ofrecer una antología biográfica de mujeres castellanas que alcanzaron fama de santidad en la Baja Edad Media o inicios del siglo XVI.
Factores de credibilidad e interés de las noticias en el paisaje (des)informativo
Authors: Alcalá-Santaella María , Alcolea-Díaz Gema , Navarro-Sierra Nuria
Published: July 2021

La presente investigación examina cuáles son los principales factores que influyen en la credibilidad y el interés por las noticias en España, dentro de la actual preocupación por la desinformación. El objetivo de este artículo es conocer los factores que influyen en ello, en qué medida lo hacen y sus posibles interdependencias. Para la medición del peso de los factores que hacen más o menos interesante y/o creíble una noticia, se llevó a cabo una encuesta online mediante panel, con una muestra de 4.351 personas, conformada por un muestreo aleatorio estratificado con afijación proporcional. Se concluye que credibilidad e interés dependen de varios factores, siendo el más influyente la vía por la que se accede a la noticia, seguido de otros más relacionados con el contenido: el tema, para la credibilidad, y el estilo redaccional, para el interés.
Presencia y liderazgo de la mujer en el audiovisual: el impacto de las plataformas streaming
Authors: Izquierdo-Castillo Jessica , Latorre-Lázaro Teresa
Published: July 2021

El sector audiovisual español presenta una elevada masculinización y todavía son minoritarias las producciones de liderazgo femenino en cine y televisión. Esta investigación busca observar cómo la rápida consolidación de las plataformas streaming y la intensificación de su política de producción en los mercados nacionales puede inferir en esta realidad. El objetivo es averiguar qué impacto generan estos nuevos operadores sobre la empleabilidad y el liderazgo de las mujeres dentro de la industria española. Con este propósito, se estudian las plataformas over de top (OTT) internacionales con producción propia que operan en España. Se analiza la diversidad en las estructuras laborales, por ámbitos de especialización y por niveles de responsabilidad tomando como muestra las producciones españolas originales estrenadas hasta principio de 2020. Los resultados muestran un ligero impacto positivo de las OTT sobre la empleabilidad de la mujer en la industria audiovisual, en un sector que, no obstante, continua altamente masculinizado.

Infection rate by TOXOPLASMA GONDII in free-range and broiler chickens in the states of Rio Grande do Norte and Paraíba, Brazil
Authors: Cecilia Farias dos Santos Maria , Morais de Medeiros Brito Ramayana , Wagner de Almeida Vitor Ricardo , Andrade Neto Valter Ferreira de
Published: July 2021

Toxoplasmosis is a zoonosis caused by Toxoplasma gondii, a protozoan that has a cosmopolitan geographic distribution and low specificity for intermediate hosts. Domestic chickens are among the most important hosts in toxoplasmosis epidemiology, since they are potential sources of infection for humans, in addition to indicating environmental contamination by protozoa. In this work, we studied the prevalence of T. gondii infection in chickens in different breeding systems from distinct mesoregions of Rio Grande do Norte and Paraiba States: broiler chickens from commercial farms and free-range chickens from small farms. Indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) and ELISA techniques were used for detecting specific antibodies in blood samples from the birds. There were no seropositive samples among the broilers tested, indicating that intensive management limited the chances of infection for these animals. Amongthe free-range chickens, the frequency of IgG anti-T. gondii  detected by IFAT and ELISA were 37.9% and 40.4% respectively. Among the seropositive samples by IFAT, 33 (27.1%) were positive at a dilution of 1:16; in 1:32, 31 (25.4%); in 1:64, 24 (19.7%); 15 (12.3%) in 1:128, and 19 presented titers greater than or equal to 1:256 (15.6%). The substantial concordance observed between IFAT and ELISA signifies these methods are effective methodologies for the diagnosis of avian toxoplasmosis. The high prevalence of specific antibodies among poultry in the studied region highlights the potential risk of T. gondii transmission to humans through consumption of infected meat.KEY WORDS: Toxoplasma gondii; chicken infection; toxoplasmosis transmission; seroprevalence.

O Guia de Ouro Preto, de Manuel Bandeira, tem como seus antecessores o Guia de Recife e o Guia de Olinda, escritos por Gilberto Freyre. Todavia, o poeta se apresentou como cronista regional, cujo texto se oferece como um pêndulo que oscila entre a descrição geográfica e a circunstância histórica, desestabilizando a historiografia literária e a sua própria obra poética, nem tão espontânea nem tão acidental quanto se quisera. Aquela obra será confrontada com outros dois poemas seus, cuja temática focaliza a mesma cidade mineira, quais sejam, “Ouro Preto” e “Minha gente, salvemos Ouro Preto”.

The (She) Wolf of Wall Street
Authors: Sheerin Corina
Published: July 2021

The recent release of the Wolf of Wall Street movie has reignited interest in the extreme lifestyle and behaviours of Wall Street executives. The movie portrays life in ‘front office’ investment management as one characterised by excess, and those who succeed in the sector as assertive, driven individuals who all happen to be male. Using the lens of gender, this research examines, within an Irish context, what perceptions and beliefs are held among potential entrants to the sector regarding the personality traits necessary to survive and succeed. Subsequently, the influence, if any, of experience of working in the sector is explored for both men and women. The research makes an important contribution to existing literature by exploring whether the ‘wolfish’ characteristics deemed essential for survival in the hegemonic-masculine investment management environment have led women to believe they will never fit within this culture and as such opt out. Findings indicated that gender differences were apparent among potential entrants to the sector with women ranking assertiveness, confidence and the ability to network more highly than their male peers. Experience of working in the sector did not affect the views of women. For men working in the sector, less importance was placed on factors such as confidence, personal initiative and communication skills when compared with male peers with no experience.

Published: July 2021

The purpose of this study is to analyze and describe the social construction of teachers on social attitudes in the learning process of social sciences subject at elementary schools in Makassar. The method used was descriptive quantitative. The research subjects were chosen using purposive sampling technique. The subjects consisted of 96 students and 4 teachers of 5th grade from 4 elementary schools in Makassar. The data collected through interview, questionnaire, observation and documentation.

Intertextuality, Narrativity and Tradition: 8 Brazilian Piano Sonatas
Authors: Gerling Cristina Capparelli
Published: July 2021

Based on theories of intertextuality and narrativity as well as historical and social contextualization, the present paper discusses how eight piano sonatas written between 1950 and 1967 by César Guerra-Peixe (1914-1993), Eunice Catunda (1915-1990), Claudio Santoro (1919-1989), Esther Scliar (1926-1978) and Edino Krieger (1928) respectively, formed a new corpus of Brazilian concert music thoroughly grounded on neoclassical formal principles.  Permeated with the highest level of pianistic virtuosity these eight works paved the way for a host of future works written by composers older and younger. The main argument is developed through the approximation between shared characteristics such as the prominence given to passages in unison found within the sonatas initial thematic statements and the utterances delivered by dramatic types, be they heroic or comic characters.
Regiões Euler: um Estudo sobre Distância Tonal e Integração entre os Ciclos Octatônicos e Hexatônicos
Authors: Salles Paulo de Tarso
Published: July 2021

Este trabalho apresenta um estudo sobre distância tonal a partir de certos pressupostos estabelecidos por David Lewin (1982), Richard Cohn (1996; 2012), Jack Douthett & Peter Steinbach (1998), Clifton Callender (1998), Steven Baker (2003) e Dmitri Tymoczko (2011), entre outros. Demonstra como os ciclos octatônicos (descritos por Douthett e Steinbach), formados por acordes de sétima, podem conectar-se com as tríades consonantes dos ciclos hexatônicos (descritos por Cohn). Tal conexão entre acordes de diferentes cardinalidades é possível por meio de uma região harmônica denominada “região Euler”, em referência a um trabalho publicado pelo matemático e teórico Leonhard Euler no século XVIII, no qual uma topologia de tríades aumentadas resulta em acordes maiores com sétima maior. Uma breve análise de um quarteto de Villa-Lobos ilustra a importância das regiões Euler entre as tétrades e tríades perfeitas.
Contemporary Knowledge and Musical Creation: Ethic and Paradigms
Authors: Nogueira Ilza
Published: July 2021

In this essay, the author reflects upon musical knowledge of the last thirty five years under the light of contemporary philosophy (Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guatarri and Sílvio Gallo), demonstrating, through music analysis, how the evolution of compositional thought from 1980 to 2010 accompanies ethical and paradigmatic concepts which apply to the broad intellectual thought of the time-period. Works by three composers from Bahia – Ernst Widmer (1927-1990), Paulo Costa Lima (b. 1954) and Paulo Rios Filho (b. 1985) – serve the analytical demonstration, which leads to a conclusive reflection on the interdependence of artistic creation and contemporary strategies of knowledge production.
Uma Análise Neoriemanniana da Primeira Cena do Artémis de Nepomuceno
Authors: Taddei Rita de Cássia
Published: July 2021

Da extensa obra teórica de Hugo Riemann, sua teoria das funções harmônicas permanece sendo a contribuição mais difundida. Menos conhecidos, os escritos da última fase sugerem novos modelos de compreensão do campo harmônico tonal que abandonam os paradigmas funcionalistas. Desde as últimas décadas do século XX, esse testamento de Riemann tem sido reavaliado por uma nova geração de teóricos, denominados neo-riemannianos, dentre os quais se destacam Lewin, Hyer, Richard Cohn e David Kopp, que propuseram suas próprias teorias a partir do modelo de Riemann. O foco deste trabalho é fazer uma breve consolidação da teoria da harmonia transformacional neo-riemanniana, adotando finalmente o modelo proposto por David Kopp (2002) para apresentar uma análise transformacional da Cena I da ópera Artémis de Alberto Nepomuceno.

Richard Wagner e Francisco Braga: o exemplo de Marabá na obra do compositor brasileiro
Authors: Chueke Isaac F.
Published: July 2021

Através o presente artigo procuramos revisitar alguns dos conceitos inerentes ao fenômeno wagneriano enquanto simultaneamente examinamos a influência deste pensamento e prática na obra de um compositor brasileiro, Francisco Braga. Neste sentido tiramos partido da pesquisa em profundidade que efetuamos a respeito deste último autor, igualmente regente e professor a partir de 1902 do INM, com a primeira tese sobre este grande personagem nacional, material que encontra-se à disposição para consulta na Maison de la Recherche da Universidade Paris-Sorbonne. Se, como sabemos, o ofício de Wagner se materializa de modo quase exclusivo no campo lírico, não deixamos de perceber entretanto seu legado na estética de uma plêiade de compositores. Domina o cenário musical de sua época de tal forma que poucos conseguem resistir. Braga, bastante marcado pela escola francesa, notadamente tendo sido aluno de Massenet - o fato é conhecido - não deixara entretanto de também experimentar, ao seu modo, algumas das técnicas de Wagner. Quisemos aqui revelar um pouco mais deste período, e se comentamos igualmente, ainda que de modo breve, sua experiência com a produção da ópera Jupira, a estética apresenta-se diferentemente, é que esta bem poderia ser interpretada como uma tentativa do compositor brasileiro de fazer um amálgama das escolas alemã e italiana. Por outro lado, é certamente na expressão sinfônica de Braga que podemos encontrar as “tintas” de um legado wagneriano, através de poemas sinfônicos e música incidental (quando a literatura não deixa de estar presente), e com um colorido que podemos ademais hoje reconhecer como bem nosso, uma linguagem que, se europeia na origem, encontra sua perfeita adaptação nos trópicos.
