‚CAVALHADAS EM ALAGOAS: religiosidade e memórias
coletivas? é uma obra liter{ria em três atos, que na altura dos vinte e três
anos, do patrimônio imaterial nacional, não se furta em cravar no
panteão da história, como pedra fundamental da história, religiosidade e
culturas da sociedade alagoana.
Nessa tríade, convida aos olhos e almas mais atentos, um
aprofundamento histórico, acerca das Cavalhadas de forma tão
inovadora, à La Bloch (1886-1944) que instiga ao raciocínio mais
Lucianus, um aprofundamento sobre essa manifestação cultural, que
reúne numa só dimensão, vivência coletiva, sagrado e profano, rituais e
celebrações, a história não como investigadora de passados mas, como
desveladora de um tempo que durante toda a leitura, será resgatado,
levando sempre a conclusões atemporais, como assim é a dinâmica das
culturas.
Religiosamente falando, vislumbra um entendimento racional e
atual no sentido que atribui a presença de muitas culturas, em que se
inserem as várias dimensões da religiosidade, que está ligado em sua
totalidade a uma cosmologia de heterogeneidades através da
manifestação cultural. Sendo possível apenas com a leitura da obra,
entender como a religiosidade é a dimensão de profundidade da vida
humana em seu todo e em cada uma de suas funções; é conceito-base,
que articula os demais. Nisso, aglutina todo um fluxo humano e social.
Lendo o mais novo livro da professora e pesquisadora, Ana
Cristina de Lima Moreira, cultura e sociedade estão presentes. Através
de uma análise minuciosa, pode-se ler que, assim como a cultura é um
processo inacabado, em construção, não biológico, movimentando-se
numa totalidade humana a partir de múltiplas variedades de saberes e
de fazeres transmitidos socialmente, as cavalhadas carregam em toda
sua ancestralidade humana, histórica, religiosa e cultural, elementos que
não se confundem mas, complementam o cenário nordestino e alagoano.

¿De la representación electoral a la participación directa en México?
Authors: Torres Alonso Eduardo
Published: July 2023

En el artículo se reflexiona sobre la crisis de la democraciarepresentativa en México, examinando el proceso de democratización iniciado la segunda mitad del siglo XX, identificando los contextos sociales (bonanza y crisis económica, permanencia de un partido hegemónico, autoritarismos subnacionales, movimientos sociales y guerrillas) en los cuales se discutieron y aprobaron las reformas políticas y electorales –se considera que la mexicana es una “transición votada”, precisamente, por la importancia que se le ha dado al cambio institucional gradual y la imposibilidad de identificar una fecha o momento de quiebre o ruptura con el régimen–, y registrando, además, la incorporación en la Constitución mexicana de mecanismos de democracia directa como una alternativa para evitar la agudización de las protestas por mayoreslibertades y derechos políticos, institucionalizar el conflicto, subsanar la baja legitimidad de las autoridades y aminorar los efectos del déficit democrático en el país.

El proceso de Revocación de mandato como fuente de innovación electoral
Authors: Carrera Barroso José Antonio
Published: July 2023

La democracia mexicana está transitando de un modelo eminentemente representativo a uno mucho más participativo. La desconfianza en las instituciones tradicionales de representación (partidos políticos, gobiernos, instituciones gubernamentales), sumada con laagenda política del presidente López Obrador, ha provocado que aumente el interés de la ciudadanía en participar en comicios que amplifican su voz en las decisiones públicas. Uno de ellos es la revocación de mandato celebrada el 10 de abril de 2022. Sin embargo, detrás de ella, ha habido un despliegue institucional por parte del Instituto Nacional Electoral (INE), el cual se ha enfrentado a recortes presupuestales significativos, así como a la afrenta directa de personas integrantes del gobierno en turno, con el objetivo de confrontar a la autoridad administrativa electoral. Con ambos frentes abiertos, el INE ha tendido a desplegar un dispositivo tecnológico innovador para eficientar recursos y garantizar la celebración de la jornada participativa. El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar y explicar los procesos de innovación electoral que se llevaron a cabo durante la organización y celebración de la primera experiencia de una revocación de mandato en México.

Authors: Cerna Villagra Sarah Patricia
Published: July 2023

¿Cuáles son los ministerios más importantes para el gobierno paraguayo de Mario Abdo Benítez? Este artículo hace una evaluación del gabinete a partir de la propuesta teórica de Camerlo y MartínezGallardo (2017) al analizar cuatro dimensiones clave con base en una metodología cualitativa que combina el estudio de la normativa vigente, los presupuestos generales del Estado, una revisión hemerográfica y el juicio de expertos. Los principales hallazgos revelan que actualmente en Paraguay existen cuatro tipos de ministerios, según la importancia que se les da: a) los que son altamente prioritarios; b) los que son considerados importantes, pero con capacidades más heterogéneas; c) los que en términos generales poseen capacidades medianas; y d) los que no tienen ningún tipo de importancia para la actual administración. Asimismo, es posible asegurar que se trata de un gabinete partidario con orientaciones conservadoras en cuanto a sus políticas públicas. El trabajo busca identificar: 1) cuáles son los ministerios más importantes para el presidente Mario Adbo Benítez; 2) los atributos que determinan que un ministerio sea considerado importante en la administración presidencial en Paraguay (2018-2013)

Objective: To assess growth arrest-specific 6 (Gas6) protein as a biomarker of glomerular damage (glomerulopathy; nephropathy) in patients with sickle cell anaemia (SCA). Methods: seventy SCA patients on routine clinic visit and seventy apparently healthy controls were recruited into the study and their blood and urine samples were collected while plasma Gas6 as well as urinary albumin and creatinine measured. Their socio-demographic and other anthropometric indices were documented. The study participants and controls were screened for urinary tract infection (UTI) using the urine dipstick combi-10 on their urine. The plasma Gas6 of all patients were compared with the albumin creatinine ratio (ACR) along with the ages. Albumin and creatinine levels were also compared with ages. Results: Gas6 had an inverse though insignificant relationship with ACR and age in the patients; albumin, creatinine and albumin creatinine ratio varied directly with age in these patients. Conclusion: Gas 6 was not found a useful marker of glomerulopathy in sickle cell anaemia.

An approach has been developed to create an approximated simplicial complex in between the Vietoris-Rips complex and the Čech complex using median of triangles for computing Betti numbers of some point cloud data. The Vietoris-Rips complex has been built first for this. Then the sample points have been classified into three classes based on three conditions of the median (l) of any triangle’s maximum edge (2r) for any three points in〖 R〗^n. Then the values of the filtration (ε) have been chosen in such a way that ε=r for lr. The approach has been extended for higher dimensional triangles calculating l by the distance of the centroid from the opposite vertex of the maximum face and considering r as the filtration value of the maximum edge. Then an algorithm has been introduced to calculate the simplicial complex after building simplices for each filtration value. Finally, to validate the study results of the approximated simplicial complex have been compared with the Vietoris-Rips complex and the Čech complex. The proposed approximated simplicial complex has been found computationally effective than the Čech complex and its filtration values are lying between filtration values of the Vietoris-Rips complex and the Čech complex without any loss of persistent data.

Authors: Marinel Ramilo Gara  , Florence Mae Facelo Dela Cruz
Published: July 2023

This study aimed to investigate the academic performance of Grade 8 Science learning during face-to-face classes in General Emilio Aguinaldo National High School – Imus City for the School Year 2022-2023. The research involved analyzing data gathered from 238 learners to draw conclusions. The study explored various aspects related to attendance, engagement, quality of teaching, cla2rity of explanations and examples, access to learning resources, study habits, motivation and interest in science subjects, the impact of face-to-face classes on motivation, parental involvement in inquiring about progress, learning engagement during face-to-face classes, and the correlation between grades in science and hours spent studying. The findings revealed that most learners actively engaged in face-to-face classes, with high attendance rates and positive perceptions of teaching quality. Most respondents reported having access to necessary textbooks and learning materials, although some reported lack of access. Study habits showed that many learners regularly reviewed science material outside class, indicating active engagement. Regarding motivation and interest, most respondents expressed some interest in science subjects, and face-to-face classes were reported to enhance their motivation to learn and excel in the subject. Parental involvement varied, with some parents or guardians rarely inquiring about their child's progress in science while others inquired occasionally or frequently. Overall, learners had positive perceptions of face-to-face learning engagement, with a strong agreement regarding the helpfulness of face-to-face interactions and provided resources. The study found no significant correlation between grades in science and the total number of hours spent studying, suggesting that other factors may influence academic performance. Areas for improvement were identified, including ensuring equitable access to learning resources and addressing lower levels of engagement and clarity for some learners. These findings provide valuable insights into the learning and engagement patterns of Grade 8 Science learners and can inform strategies to enhance their educational experiences.

Published: July 2023

Currently, the use of herbal leaves is increasingly being used to improve the performance and health of poultry. Herbal leaves contain phytochemical compounds that can promote growth and improve the health of poultry. This study aims to examine the effect of giving Indigofera zollingeriana leaf aqueous extract (ILE) via drinking water from 2-10 weeks of age on the performance and carcass characteristics of native chickens. This study used a completely randomized design with four treatments and 5 replications, and each replication consisted of 25 native chickens aged 2 weeks with homogeneous body weight (94.36 ± 1.94 g). The four treatments are ILE levels in drinking water, namely: 0% (P1); 2% (P2); 4% (P3); and 6% (P4), respectively. The results showed that giving 2-6% ILE via drinking water had no significant effect (P≥0.05) on the growth and carcass of chickens. However, it has a significant effect (≤0.05) on feed consumption and carcass bones. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that administration of Indigofera leaf aqueous extract via drinking water reduced feed consumption and increased carcass bone weight of native chickens.

Archipelagic Human-Machine Communication: Building Bridges amidst Cultivated Ambiguity
Authors: Dehnert Marco
Published: July 2023

In this commentary, I call for maintaining the archipelagic character of human-machine communication (HMC). Utilizing the metaphor of the archipelago or a chain of connected islands indicates that HMC entails a variety of islands differing in shape, size, location, and proximity to one another. Rather than aiming for conceptual unity and definitional homogeneity, I call for embracing a cultivated ambiguity related to HMC key concepts. Ambiguity in the sense of allowing these concepts to be flexible enough to be explored in different contexts. Cultivated in the sense of demanding resonance across individual studies and theoretical lineages to allow for cumulative and collaborative theorizing. My hope is that HMC scholars can continue to build bridges that traverse the paradigmatic, methodological, theoretical, and technological archipelago of HMC.
ChatGPT, LaMDA, and the Hype Around Communicative AI: The Automation of Communication as a Field of Research in Media and Communication Studies
Authors: Hepp Andreas , Loosen Wiebke , Dreyer Stephan , Jarke Juliane , Kannengießer Sigrid , Katzenbach Christian , Malaka Rainer , Pfadenhauer Michaela Pfadenhauer , Puschmann Cornelius , Schulz Wolfgang
Published: July 2023

The aim of this article is to more precisely define the field of research on the automation of communication, which is still only vaguely discernible. The central thesis argues that to be able to fully grasp the transformation of the media environment associated with the automation of communication, our view must be broadened from a preoccupation with direct interactions between humans and machines to societal communication. This more widely targeted question asks how the dynamics of societal communication change when communicative artificial intelligence—in short: communicative AI—is integrated into aspects of societal communication. To this end, we recommend an approach that follows the tradition of figurational sociology.
Human-AI Teaming During an Ongoing Disaster: How Scripts Around Training and Feedback Reveal this is a Form of Human-Machine Communication

Published: July 2023

Humans play an integral role in identifying important information from social media during disasters. While human annotation of social media data to train machine learning models is often viewed as human-computer interaction, this study interrogates the ontological boundary between such interaction and human-machine communication. We conducted multiple interviews with participants who both labeled data to train machine learning models and corrected machine-inferred data labels. Findings reveal three themes: scripts invoked to manage decision-making, contextual scripts, and scripts around perceptions of machines. Humans use scripts around training the machine—a form of behavioral anthropomorphism—to develop social relationships with them. Correcting machine-inferred data labels changes these scripts and evokes self-doubt around who is right, which substantiates the argument that this is a form of human-machine communication.
Valenced Media Effects on Robot-Related Attitudes and Mental Models: A Parasocial Contact Approach
Authors: Stein Jan-Philipp , Banks Jaime
Published: July 2023

Despite rapid advancements in robotics, most people still only come into contact with robots via mass media. Consequently, robot-related attitudes are often discussed as the result of habituation and cultivation processes, as they unfold during repeated media exposure. In this paper, we introduce parasocial contact theory to this line of research— arguing that it better acknowledges interpersonal and intergroup dynamics found in modern human–robot interactions. Moreover, conceptualizing mediated robot encounters as parasocial contact integrates both qualitative and quantitative aspects into one comprehensive approach. A multi-method experiment offers empirical support for our arguments: Although many elements of participants’ beliefs and attitudes persisted through media exposures, valenced parasocial contact resulted in small but meaningful changes to mental models and desired social distance for humanoid robots.
Determination of Environmental Indicators in the Context of Sustainable Urbanization: The Case of Türkiye
Authors: ÇOBAN Gamze , UZUN Osman
Published: July 2023

The socio-economic conditions provided by the cities become centers of attraction to improve the quality of life of people. On the other hand, the uncontrolled growth of urban areas in meeting the needs of the increasing population has adverse effects on natural resources. Sustainable urbanization aims to increase the socio-economic quality of life by ensuring the rational use of natural resources, minimizing non-renewable resources, and meeting people's basic needs. However, due to the unconscious use of natural resources and increasing pressure on the environment, environmental components are seen as the basis of sustainable urbanization and affect economic and social sustainability development. This study aims to explain the process of determining the indicators related to environmental sustainability. In this context, by examining the studies carried out in the national and international arena, 20 indicator sets were created under eight themes at the national level, which will be beneficial in spatial planning decisions. It is thought that the determined indicator set will make important contributions to institutions and managers from the local level to regional and national levels in spatial planning studies to ensure environmental sustainability.
Analysis of Kinetic Disaster Relief Shelters and A Novel Adaptive Shelter Proposal
Authors: TOSUN Seda , MADEN Feray
Published: July 2023

Natural disasters such as earthquakes, wildfires, landslides, and floods displace millions of people worldwide every year. Therefore, temporary shelters should be provided to the people affected by disasters. Generally, conventional shelters such as tents, container-type shelters, and prefabricated structures are used after disasters. However, they do not provide spatial flexibility and adaptability to changing circumstances. Although using kinetic structures in temporary shelter design allows the creation of adaptive systems, the majority of temporary shelters are limited to certain types. This study aims to develop an adaptive disaster relief shelter that can deploy from a compact state to an expanded one to provide not only formal flexibility but also ease of transport and storage. First, it investigates spatial and structural solutions developed for temporary shelters and analyzes to what extent kinetic structural systems provide solutions regarding adaptation to changing circumstances. Based on the findings obtained from the analysis, a novel adaptive shelter composed of scissor linkages and plates has been proposed. The proposed Shelter Module X is adaptive enough, functioning not only as an accommodation unit during distinct sheltering periods but also serving different functions by unit combinations.

The Effect of Neuroscience on the Formation of Biodigital Space
Authors: DEMİRCİ Çisem Nur , ARIDAĞ Levent
Published: July 2023

Studies in the rapidly developing neuroscience field in the early 21st century provide knowledge about the sensory stimuli the body receives from the environment. From a neurobiological perspective, loops and feedback are interconnected in the brain with matching internal sensory and motor maps. Neuroscience can help architects and neuroscientists design future spaces by interpreting experience and spatial transformation. Through neuroscience principles, space's network structure can be explored. It can enable the space, having a network structure, to transmit dynamically in its structural system. In this research, space’s possibility as a self-generating system is examined through autopoiesis, explaining organismic body and life formation concepts. Establishing a relationship between the reproduction life parameters and space design by coding knowledge through digital experiments is aimed since life, vitality, and evolution are code sets. Space understanding with the organismic body increases its sensitivity and offers an opportunity for a re-discussion of space understanding.

In this study, turnover rate, parking duration, cash parking duration, and parking income variables are investigated by multiple regression analysis with dummy variables. Daily general weather data during this period are classified into 11 categories as sunny, cloudy, partly cloudy, light rain, rain, short-term heavy rainfall, heavy rainfall, light snow, light snowfall, snow, and a heavy snowstorm- as dummy variables. Based on the estimation results, it is found that both sunny and light snow + light snowfall + snow + heavy snowstorm weather variables decrease parking duration by 0.528 and 1.293 min, respectively. Moreover, results also indicated that the same variables increase cash parking duration by 1.21 and 3.29 min, respectively. Both sunny and cloudy + partly cloudy weather variables increase parking income by 719 TL and 580 TL, respectively. Light snow + light snowfall + snow + heavy snowstorm weather variable decreases parking income by 1143 TL.
Technological modes of expansion and pressing under selective heating
Authors: Chudin Vladimir
Published: July 2023

The processes of spread and reduction of a heated rough piece under visco-plasticity conditions are viewed. The ratio for force stress calculating in operations, damage to the material of the rough pieces is obtained. In the branches of special en-gineering, high-strength alloys based on titanium and aluminum are used. In the branches of special engineering, high-strength alloys based on titanium and aluminum are used. These alloys have mechanical properties anisotropy. Processing of these alloys is difficult. For this reason, the pressure treatment operation is performed with heating of the deformation zone. The material in the deformation zone exhibits viscous properties. Deformation hardening and softening (stress relaxa-tion) of the material take place simultaneously. Besides, the lower the deformation rate, the greater the softening. In this regard, a constitutive equation representing these processes is found. The factor of hardening and softening creates condi-tions for reducing the power mode of pressure treatment operations and increasing the degree of primary part forming. Stress relaxation calculation with the help of analytical dependencies is necessary at the stage of expansion and pressing development. The calculated ratios are recorded as a function of the speed of these operations. In this case, the specified deformation (the change in the degree of forming) is taken into account, adjusted depending on the speed and mechanical characteristics of the bearing alloy anisotropy. The calculated ratios are obtained under conditions of a flat voltage scheme, which corresponds to expansion and pressing. Stress equilibrium equation and yield condition of anisotropic material are used. The joint solutions of this equation and yield conditions determine values of the meridional and circumferential stress-es arising in the piece part material. The values of the stresses allow calculating the forces of operations. It is shown that the speed of expansion and pressing and mechanical properties anisotropy affect the damage to the material of the «green body». Dependences for the calculation of damage are obtained on the basis of energy and deformation strength criteria. These dependencies allow predicting the quality of products. It is also shown that anisotropy affects the technological modes of expansion and pressing. As the anisotropy coefficient increases, the stresses and forces of operations decrease. Calculations of stresses, forces and material damage in the process of expansion of anisotropic titanium alloy VT14 at 875 ℃ are made.
From Interest to Entry: The Teacher Pipeline From College Application to Initial Employment
Authors: Bartanen Brendan , Kwok Andrew
Published: July 2023

Strengthening teacher supply is a key policy objective for K–12 public education, but understanding of the early teacher pipeline remains limited. In this descriptive analysis, we leverage the universe of applications to a large public university in Texas from 2009 to 2020 to examine the pipeline into teacher education and employment as a K–12 public school teacher. A unique feature of Texas’s centralized higher education application is that it solicits potential interest in teacher certification. We document sharply declining interest in teaching over the period. Further, we show that students of color, men, and students with higher SAT scores are substantially underrepresented in teacher education. Particularly for race/ethnicity, these disparities are only partially explained by differences in interest at application.

In this work, authors discuss the way of selecting level of supplier by using the concept of binary coded genetic algorithm. For the best solution due to involvement of multi objective functions, the process of Tournament selection is widely discussed. In addition to this, authors involve fuzzy parameters due to the aspiration levels of Decision maker in analysis part for more clarity towards optimality. As a case study towards pareto optimality, the theory of non-dominance of solutions is properly discussed with the help of Pareto frontier. At last the values of objective functions based on quality, cost and service levels following an example are being analyzed with a significant view towards optimality. Based on the optimal solutions, the level of supplier selection is properly discussed.

Neoliberal populism: The case of Pim Fortuyn
Authors: Oudenampsen Merijn
Published: July 2023

After Trump and Brexit, a dominant narrative emerged that portrayed the rise of right-wing populism as a backlash to neoliberalism. While it is true that right-wing populism emerged during the heydays of neoliberal globalization in the 1980s and 1990s, the relationship between the two is more complex than often assumed. In a series of countries, right-wing populism emerged with, rather than against neoliberalism. The particular combination of ‘neoliberal populism’ however, is still underexplored. Studying this political discourse can help us understand the role of neoliberal ideology in the rise of right-wing populism. As a contribution to this end, this article offers an in-depth analysis of the ideological evolution of the Dutch neoliberal populist Pim Fortuyn (1948-2002). It places the development of his ideas against the backdrop of the Dutch neoliberal turn and shows how his populist establishment critique emerged out of a neoliberal polemic against the Dutch corporatist welfare state.
Narrative CVs: Supporting applicants and review panels to value the range of contributions to research
Authors: Adams Elizabeth , Casci Tanita , Padgett Miles , Alfred Jane
Published: July 2023

We undertook a three-month project at the University of Glasgow (UofG) to review the effectiveness of the current narrative CV format (also known as résumé for researchers) from the point of view of the CV writer and the review panel. In this report, we share our findings so far, including feedback from both groups, some tools which might be of use for writers, and a set of recommendations and considerations for funders, societies or institutions thinking of adopting narrative CV formats in researcher assessment. This project was developed in collaboration with the UK Reproducibility Network (UKRN).

Spectroscopic properties of the infrared (IR) emission of trivalent holmium (Ho 3+ ) dopedpotassium lead bromide have been investigated. Following optical excitation at ~ 907nm, severalIR emissions were observed at room temperature with wavelengths around 1.07, 1.20, 1.35, 1.70,2.00, 2.90, and 3.96μm. The 2.9μm emission arising from the μm. The 2.9μm emission arising from the m. The 2.9μm. The 2.9μm emission arising from the m emission arising from the 5 I 6μm. The 2.9μm emission arising from the → 5 I 7 transition was further investigated for possible applications in mid – IR lasers. The population dynamics of the ground state ( 5 I 8 ) and the first three excited states ( 5 I 7 , 5 I 6μm. The 2.9μm emission arising from the , and 5 I 5 ) were studied. Measured lifetime values of these excited states were used in a MATLAB program written to solve a system of four coupled differential equations to determine the population dynamics of the first three excited states in order to see the sustainability of the 2.9μm. The 2.9μm emission arising from the m transition for possible laser applications. The results we obtained shows that the holmium (Ho 3+ ) doped Potassium Lead Bromide crystal was a suitable gain medium for pulsed laser emission at 2.9μm. The 2.9μm emission arising from the m with pulse duration of a few milliseconds.

Menarche Menstruation Menopause and Mental Health (4M): a consortium facilitating interdisciplinary research at the intersection of menstrual and mental health
Authors: Sharp Gemma , De Giorgio Luana
Published: July 2023

Menstrual and mental health form a close relationship that is under-appreciated in scientific research, clinical practice and social policy. This association is extremely complex, involving interactions between biology, psychology and social, political and structural influences on health and wellbeing. Research in these areas has traditionally been siloed: focusing on menstrual or mental health in isolation, or the interrelation from a limited one-dimensional perspective. We recognised the need for a more holistic and comprehensive approach that considers the complex interweaving nature of menstrual and mental health. In 2021, we established the Menarche, Menstruation, Menopause and Mental Health (4M) consortium as a tool to address this gap and to facilitate interdisciplinary research. This paper provides a comprehensive source of information about 4M for researchers and stakeholders who may be interested in joining or working with the consortium.
