Narrativização do sofrimento do outro na conversa cotidiana entre advogados
Authors: Nogueira Mayara , De Oliveira Roberto Perobelli
Published: June 2021

Dentre as práticas cotidianas desempenhadas pelos sujeitos nas mais variadas culturas, certamente o ato de narrar ocupa papel central, cujo lugar de destaque tem sido abraçado por diversos campos do saber para além dos estudos da linguagem. Seja para recaptular uma experiência passada, organizar a experiência ou quaisquer de suas funções, a narrativa representa um importante objeto que possibilita o investigador compreender a ordem social. A partir destas premissas, neste trabalho apresento algumas concepções em análise sociolinguística da narrativa, observando como narrativa e interação são engendradas em um almoço entre advogados que trabalham juntos em uma zona de conflito urbano.
Entre a Análise Crítica do Discurso e a Análise da Narrativa: gênero e desigualdades sociais
Authors: Lima Fábio Fernando , Bastos Liliana Cabral
Published: June 2021

Este artigo apresenta uma análise e descrição de questões atinentes Ã  construção das identidades sociais e suas intersecções com relações de poder e hegemonia em entrevistas colhidas com mulheres pobres, negras, com baixa escolaridade e residentes em áreas periféricas. Para a operacionalização da análise, propomos estabelecer pontos de contato teórico-metodológicos entre a Análise Crítica do Discurso e a Análise da Narrativa. Os resultados tanto ressaltaram que a “avaliação” pode se constituir no principal viés a alinhavar ambas as vertentes teóricas quanto apontaram para um profundo imbricamento entre os atravessamentos gênero e classe social, ratificando a posição adotada pelas teorias interseccionais de gênero.
Cenas de enunciação em práticas discursivas indígenas: protesto do povo guarani na tradição Parkatêjê
Authors: De Andrade Reis Jaqueline , Coutinho Lopes Tereza Tayná , Da Costa Pessoa Fátima Cristina , De Oliveira Ferreira Marília de Nazaré
Published: June 2021

Este artigo objetiva refletir sobre a relação entre duas práticas discursivas em um contexto indígena: a cerimônia de encerramento do luto pelo antigo chefe Parkatêjê e o protesto do povo Guarani, realizado no interior da cerimônia tradicional. Analisamos a cena de enunciação constituída no protesto indígena, a partir do exame de sete cartazes. Como aporte teórico, utilizamos a Análise do Discurso francófona, mobilizando as noções de prática discursiva e cena enunciativa. Verificamos o entrelace das práticas discursivas e a interação das cenas englobante, genérica e cenografia em relação Ã  cena de enunciação no ato de protesto dos índios Guarani.
Language Policy in the Virtual Linguistic Landscape: The case of the Kingdom of Bahrain E-Government National Portal
Authors: Gomaa Yasser
Published: June 2021

This study examined language policy in the virtual linguistic landscape in the Kingdom of Bahrain as exemplified in its E-Government National Portal. It was carried out with the aim of extending the view of the linguistic landscape beyond the mainstream research that is typically anchored and defined within the parameters of given geographic boundaries. It sought to answer the question of how the linguistic diversity is experienced in cyberspace. Spolsky and Cooper’s (1991) Preference Model Theory of language choice was used to address this question. The findings authenticate the assumption that the Bahraini virtual linguistic landscape shares not only specific features with physical counterparts, but also displays unique attributes
O discurso religioso no debate sobre gênero e sexualidade
Authors: RAMIRES Vicentina , Silva Lucas Henrique , Medeiros Roseana
Published: June 2021

Com base na ACD, este estudo tem como objetivo principal apresentar como alguns setores religiosos de orientação cristã têm contribuído para gerar/aumentar o preconceito contra as diferenças de gênero. Como objetivos específicos procuramos identificar nos discursos desses membros religiosos elementos indicadores de preconceito e analisar macro e microestruturas em que se manifestem formas de discriminação de diferentes grupos sociais. Foram analisados depoimentos, entrevistas e notícias do site religioso Gospel Prime. Os resultados demonstraram que muitos representantes religiosos, ao defenderem e reproduzirem discursos discriminatórios, contribuem fortemente para a violência física ou simbólica sobre essas minorias.
Discursos publicitários do agronegócio: sentidos da carne na sociedade brasileira contemporânea
Authors: Alves Filho Manoel Sebastião , Piovezani Carlos
Published: June 2021

O artigo pretende analisar discursos publicitários do agronegócio nacional, com o intuito de melhor compreender um paradoxo da sociedade contemporânea: o consumo acentuado de carne, a matança sistemática de milhões de animais simultâneos a um recrudescimento da sensibilidade humana Ã  causa animal. Com base na Análise do discurso derivada de Michel Pêcheux e em contribuições de Michel Foucault, procuramos analisar a produção dos sentidos veiculados em comerciais das empresas Friboi e Sadia. Este recorte nos permitiu identificar sentidos da carne como um instrumento de socialização, não como um corpo animal.
Representação de violência para a comunidade de lésbicas, gays, bissexuais, travestis e transexuais universitárias: estudo Ã luz da Análise do Discurso Crítica

As definições de violência construídas pela comunidade LGBT+ universitária, identificou-se atravessamentos de diversas ordens de discursos para elaboração do saber sobre o tema: religioso, jurídico, estruturalista e biomédico.
Lei e ordem: a guerra contra os pobres
Authors: Pereira de Almeida Judson , De Almeida Aliúd José , Borges da Silva Cássio Roberto
Published: June 2021

Este estudo examina algumas estratégias discursivas que têm balizado o tratamento político de questões relativas Ã  segurança pública. Empenhamo-nos, inicialmente, em descrever os argumentos mobilizados na defesa de um modelo intensivo de repressão Ã  criminalidade, usualmente referido por meio do lema “lei e ordem”. Discutimos, em seguida, o empenho de formalização de tais práticas, empreendido, emblematicamente, por Jakobs (2007), com o “direito penal do inimigo”. Considerando os trabalhos de Wacquant (2001; 2007; 2012), Giorgi (2006) e Zaffaroni (2007), identificamos uma ruptura em relação Ã s tecnologias penais descritas por Foucault, nos anos 70, como dispositivos de normalização dos corpos e de regulamentação da população, uma vez que, de acordo com tais autores, trata-se, agora, da construção social de um “excedente” populacional “negativo” (GIORGI, 2007, p. 105) que, situado Ã  margem do ordenamento e estigmatizado como ameaça Ã  segurança da sociedade, transforma-se em alvo elementar dos aparatos de repressão. Concluímos, enfim, que as estratégias de segurança, inspiradas no ideário neoconservador, assim como as propostas de modificação do ordenamento jurídico, elaboradas sob o prisma do “inimigo social”, evidenciam-se, insidiosamente, como uma afronta ao Estado Democrático de Direito, identificando-se, cada vez mais, com formas totalitárias de dominação.

Authors: Nobre Anna
Published: June 2021

No livro A ordem das coisas: pensar a pós-modernidade, o sociólogo francês Michel Maffesoli, conhecido por seu trabalho em sociologia compreensiva e fenomenológica, resgata e aprofunda temáticas abordadas em obras anteriores, como a importância da imaginação, além de tratar a questão da temporalidade, denunciando o “presenteísmo” das sociedades pós-modernas e analisando o consciente coletivo que denomina de sabedoria popular. É um estudo recente que trata de um tema atual no qual conceitos, nominação das coisas e suas essências são analisados sob a ótica das práticas sociais da pós-modernidade. Por ser um texto muito denso e cheio de reflexões, esta resenha revela apenas um conhecimento panorâmico e convida os leitores a aprofundarem o conhecimento na obra resenhada.
Discursos sobre raça: quando as Teorias Queer nos ajudam a interrogar a norma
Authors: Valim de Melo Glenda Cristina
Published: June 2021

A questão racial brasileira é compreendida como complexa, profunda e mal resolvida. Ainda em pleno século XXI, nos deparamos com uma desigualdade que, perpassada por raça e fator socioeconômico, mostra quão necessárias são as políticas públicas para a população não-branca. Considerando que raça é uma invenção eurocêntrica, este artigo visa a refletir sobre o lugar da raça nos estudos queer brasileiros, sem a pretensão de esgotar temática tão complexa. Neste processo de reflexão de como as Teorias Queer podem contribuir para compreender os discursos raciais e a performatividade de raça em contexto brasileiro, analisamos dois vídeos que colocam a branquitude como o centro, contestando sua supremacia e os efeitos causados por ela nas outras racializações não-hegemônicas.
Retórica antigênero e ordem pública: a cruzada das crianças
Authors: Pérez Navarro Pablo
Published: June 2021

O ar de família dos movimentos antigênero resulta da sua tentativa de transformar as exclusões constitutivas do campo genérico e sexual em princípios reguladores da ordem pública. Para ilustrar essa relação, a discussão que segue interpreta a retórica censora da Secretaria de Ordem Pública de Rio de Janeiro como uma tentativa de disciplinamento do espaço da coabitação na qual se confunde a censura corporal e a estritamente discursiva. Esta interseção será tomada, ademais, como ponto de partida para assinalar a indistinção entre o policiamento moral e securitário do espaço urbano inscritas na genealogia europeia da noção de ordem pública.

Considerações Transfeministas sobre Linguagem, Imaginação e Decolonialidade: A Identidade de Gênero como Categoria Analítica
Authors: Vergueiro Simakawa Viviane
Published: June 2021

Neste texto, gostaria de compartilhar algumas considerações sobre a categoria analítica identidade de gênero, elaboradas a partir de referenciais teóricos, políticos e práticos transfeministas, e com o objetivo de entrelaçar linguagem, imaginação e decolonialidade enquanto conceitos interessantes para evidenciar alguns aspectos e desafios que essa categoria traz para diferentes dimensões de saber-poder na linguagem, de reflexões e práticas trans+feministas, e de considerações decoloniais. Em termos metodológicos, proponho um caminho autoetnográfico afetado, onde os referenciais teóricos transfeministas são cúmplices de um processo afetivo de reflexão e de produção de conhecimentos.
Por uma Linguística Cu(-ir)
Authors: Lewis Elizabeth Sara
Published: June 2021

Nosso objetivo é de fazer uma primeira tentativa de esboçar uma Linguística Cu(-ir), a partir de algumas críticas aos Estudos Queer e observações sobre a Linguística Queer. A tentativa não se limita a uma proposta teórica; será colocada em prática através de dois estudos de caso envolvendo discursos sobre preconceitos relacionados ao uso do dildo: um sobre uma mulher bissexual e outro sobre homens heterossexuais que gostam de ser penetrados por suas parceiras. Ao analisar esses casos, olhando para subversões e reforços de discursos heteronormativos, nossa Linguística Cu(-ir) tentará preencher algumas lacunas, incluindo a falta de pesquisas sobre desejos e práticas sexuais específicas, procurando desestabilizar definições da sexualidade baseadas no gênero dx(s) parceirx(s).
Camionneuses s’abstenir: a construção de uma comunidade lésbica através de anúncios pessoais
Authors: Lewis Elizabeth Sara
Published: June 2021

No presente texto, Anna Livia analisa, por meio do olhar da Linguística Queer e o conceito de comunidades de prática, anúncios pessoais divulgados na revista Lesbia, uma publicação mensal francesa voltada para o público lésbico. Num primeiro momento, a autora examina como as anunciantes constroem discursivamente sua parceira perfeita, focando em quais orientações sexuais e estilizações de gênero são excluídas e, em especial, nos preconceitos reproduzidos contra lésbicas “caminhoneiras”. Depois, analisa também como a linguagem das notas da editora, inseridas como interjeições diretamente dentro dos anúncios, reforçam ou contestam os valores inerentes nos textos e questionam, em particular, certas exclusões e preconceitos.
Modos Queer de pesquisar e a questão racial: conjugando epistemologias feministas, interseccionalidade e decolonialidade
Authors: Borges Thais Regina Santos
Published: June 2021

O objetivo deste ensaio é pensar a produção de conhecimento engajada com princípios de justiça social, ao se ocupar de fenômenos sociais em que a linguagem enquanto sociossemiose tem um papel fundamental. Nesse contexto, procuro refletir sobre o fazer acadêmico queer em um paradigma interseccional e decolonial, necessariamente contra-hegemônico, feminista e antirracista, que centraliza a formulação de entendimentos acerca da relação micro/macro, em processos que fomentem o sentir crítico na pesquisa como locus de reflexividade crítica, no contexto da academia como espaço institucional da branquitude.

Falantxs Transviadxs: Linguística Queer e performatividades monstruosas
Authors: Borba Rodrigo
Published: June 2021

Este artigo apresenta o conceito de falantxs transviadxs, que oferece possibilidades analíticas para entendermos como pessoas em suas práticas locais negociam sentidos para quem são vis-Ã -vis normas que limitam o que podem/devem fazer e como podem/devem falar/escrever, circunscrevendo as fronteiras entre o normal/ideal e o abjeto/monstruoso. O artigo propõe uma perspectiva analítica queer guiada pelos conceitos de indexicalidade e corporificação. Revisito dados gerados em uma pesquisa etnográfica sobre prevenção de infecções sexualmente transmissíveis entre travestis com o intuito de entender como performances transviadas (i.e. aquelas que reviram e misturam múltiplos repertórios linguísticos e bagunçam regimes de ordenação do comportamento generificado) emergem e a que propósitos servem localmente.
Linguagem, antirracismos e questões Queer no Brasil: conversa com Kassandra Muniz
Authors: Silva Danillo da Conceição Pereira , Melo Iran Ferreira de
Published: June 2021

A presente entrevista nos foi concedida pela professora Dra. Kassandra Muniz, especialemnte para o dossiê “Perspectivas Queer nos estudos da Linguagem” da Revista Cadernos de Linguagem e Sociedade (UnB). A interação que deu corpo a este texto aconteceu entre o final de outubro e o início de novembro de 2020. Na verdade, o que aqui discutimos registra boa parte das tensões teóricas e políticas promovidas por linguistas aplicadxs e linguistas queer brasileirxs, engajadxs com a desnaturalização dos processos discurisvos que subalternizam sujeitos desviantes da cis-heteronormatividade e da branquitude, como eixos importantes de opressão. Dentre outras coisas, nossa conversa girou em torno da decolonização de epistemologias e de práticas políticas; da volta do corpo para os estudos da lingaugem; do potencial antiessencialista e estratégico da perspectiva de linguagem como performance nos estudos racais, de gênero e de sexualidade; da noção de “Linguagem como Mandinga” enquanto “artimanha ancestral” para (des)pensar colonialidades, cis-hetronormatividades e brancocentrismos;  da consideração da interseccionalidade como lente analítica para a compreensão do cruzamento entre eixos de subordinação e de resistência; e, por fim, do papel dos processos educativos para a produção de subjetividades críticas ao cis-patricado, Ã  heteronormatividade e Ã  branquitude.
Passabilidade e visibilidade de LGBT+ na imprensa do Brasil
Authors: Melo Iran Ferreira de
Published: June 2021

Neste estudo, selecionamos como objeto a visibilidade de pessoas consideradas marginais por gênero e sexualidade, durante participação nas edições da Parada do Orgulho LGBT de São Paulo. Para isso, escolhemos, como fenômeno de análise notícias do jornal Folha de S. Paulo e, como categorias de análise linguística, constituintes contextuais funcionalmente produtivos na construção de representações. Buscamos fazer uma mirada que considere tal visibilidade como recurso de passabilidade dos atores dissidentes de gênero e sexualidade envolvidos nesse evento.
Materialização discursiva da cis-heteronormatividade em perspectiva escalar: contribuições para a Linguística Queer
Authors: Silva Danillo da Conceição Pereira
Published: June 2021

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma proposta de interpretação não-dicotômica para o modo como normas macrossociais, notadamente a cis-heteronormatividade, estão atrelados a micronormatividades, construídas entre sujeitos, nas interações situadas de que participam. Para isso, articulando noções de materialização discursiva e de escala, destaco o caráter processual do trabalho pragmático e semiótico em jogo nos processos locais de naturalização da cis-heteronormatividade. A partir da análise de dados de interações online, gerados numa etnografia da escala, demonstro como os traços discursivos da cisnormatividade, conforme postulados por epistemologias transfeministas (binariedade, pré-discursividade e permanência), são perspectivados em constante fricção com conteúdos ideológicos da heteronormatividade. Por fim, recorrendo a tensionamentos contemporâneos no campo das Teorias Queer brasileiras, reflito sobre políticas de afetação, de tradução e de deslocamento que podem inspirar novas imaginações Ã  Linguística Queer no Brasil.

Fuzzy-AHP MOORA approach for vendor selection applications
Authors: Al Khoiry I’tishom , Gernowo Rahmat , Surarso Bayu
Published: June 2021

Vendor selection is a critical activity in order to support the achievement of company success and competitiveness. Significantly, the company has some specific standards in the selection. Therefore, an evaluation is needed to see which vendors match the company's criteria. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and select the proposed vendor in a web-based decision support system (DSS) by using the fuzzy-AHP MOORA approach. The fuzzy-AHP method is used to determine the importance level of the criteria, while the MOORA method is used for alternative ranking. The results showed that vendor 4 has the highest score than other alternatives with a value of 0.2536. Sensitivity analysis showed that the proposed DSS fuzzy-AHP MOORA concept was already solid and suitable for this problem, with a low rate of change.
Development of biodegradable smart packaging from chitosan, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and butterfly pea flower’s (Clitoria ternatea L.) anthocyanin extract

Published: June 2021

Active compounds from natural sources such as butterfly pea flowers (Clitoria ternatea
L.) such as anthocyanin was found able to be integrated with chitosan and Polyvinyl
Alcohol (PVA) polymers in their application as smart packaging. Smart packaging that
contains anthocyanin shows a colour response to changes in pH due to food spoilage. This
study was aimed to evaluate the effects of chitosan (CH) and PVA proportion on the
quality of biodegradable film incorporating butterfly pea flower’s anthocyanin (BPFA)
extract included film thickness, tensile strength (TS), elongation (E%), total anthocyanin
content and the film colour response at different pH range were characterized.
Concentrated anthocyanin extract was obtained from butterfly pea flower petals in
ultrasonic-assisted leaching using ethanol as a solvent and followed by rotary vacuum
evaporation. The film-forming solution was prepared from a binary mixture of CH:PVA
in the ratio of 20:80, 40:60, 60:40, and 80:20. The results showed that films obtained from
all combinations could exhibit different colour responses in various pH ranges, indicating
the successful incorporation of anthocyanin. The film with CH:PVA ratio of 40:60
showed a more pronounced colour change, among other treatments. It was also
characterized by a thickness of 0.15 mm, TS of 11.02 MPa, E% of 48.00%, and total
anthocyanin of 25.08 mg/g. The film showed high potential to be used as biodegradable
smart packaging for the food system which produces pH change upon deterioration.

Authors: Ogunka N.P. , Ezeama C.F. , Ukpabi U.J.
Published: June 2021

Many local Nigerian processors of sweet potato flour use sun-drying of the sliced roots in
place of modern mechanical drying. This study used carotene-rich UMUSPO3 orangefleshed sweet potato (OFSP) variety that was newly bred at National Root Crop Research
Institute (NRCRI), Umudike, Nigeria to evaluate the possible effect of sun-drying and
sulphiting on the physicochemical and microbial properties of OFSP flour samples. Data
were obtained for OFSP sun-dried flour samples processed by different pretreatment
methods (blanching, sulphiting with sodium metabisulphite and a control). Results showed
that the bacterial and fungal load of the sulphite-flour sample was 8.5×104 CFU/g and
4.00×104 CFU/g while that of the control flour sample was 12.00×104 CFU/g and
6.50×102 CFU/g respectively. The total carotenoid content (TCC) of the flour samples
ranged from 10.73 – 11.68 mg/100 g while the TCC of the fresh (unprocessed) OFSP was
40.20 mg/100 g on dry matter basis. The proximate composition of the flour samples was
10.21 – 10.95% moisture, 8.18 – 8.20% protein, 2.40 -2.55% fibre, 0.95 -1.11% fat and
1.73 – 1.85% ash. Obtained physico-functional properties were 13.17 – 13.23 g/mL

Effect of training program on food safety knowledge, behaviour and practices among female students of Qassim University, KSA
Authors: Asmahan A.A. , Wafa I.E. , Abl El-Razik M.M.
Published: June 2021

The study aimed to assess the effect of the training program in the level of concerns
knowledge and various practices related to food safety among female students of the Food
Science and Human Nutrition Department, College of Agriculture and Veterinary
Medicine, Qassim University, Saudi Arabia. The number of participants in the study is
265 female students, with a response rate of 94.35% and an average age of 21 years. The
questionnaire used in this study was divided into five sections: 1: demographic
information, sections 2 to 5 measuring the students ’concerns about: the risks affecting
food safety, the correct behaviours of food preparation and their relationship to food
poisoning, the methods of food circulation and the practices during the preparation of
foods, respectively. The main concerns of the participants were: food taste, food
temperature, methods of foods are served and the cooking degree of food. They also
focused on the cleanliness of the area of preparation and the overall appearance of food
handlers. The participants showed good knowledge regarding food safety, and they were
more familiar with the cleanliness of kitchen surfaces and utensils, ways to prevent
contamination and the importance of hand hygiene, but they showed weak knowledge
about the appropriate temperatures of cooking and holding food after it is cooked.
According to the results of this study, it was noticed that there is a significant effect of the
training program on food safety knowledge and practices among students. As it was
noticed that after the training program, the student's behaviour and knowledge of the
principles and factors affecting food safety increased, including the method of handling,
preparing and serving food, especially the cleanliness of food working surfaces and food
cooking temperatures. As well as the personal hygiene of food handlers and its impact on
the safety of the food product provided for consumption. At the same time, it could be
recommended that there is a need for educational programs aimed at encouraging students
to adhere to the practice of food safety measures, and not only to enhance their
knowledge.
Morphological characterisation and glycaemic responses of cake developed from carrot and concentrated Nypa fruticans sap
Authors: Tai Y.Y. , Tengku Ismail T.A. , Wan Rosli W.I.
Published: June 2021

Glycaemic index is the classification of carbohydrate foods based on their blood glucose
responses. In the market, most bakery products contain a high amount of sugar and could
directly increase the glycaemic index of the food. Using carrot cake as a bakery product
model, the sugar in the cake was replaced with sap produced by Nypa fruticans palm.
After undergoing dehydration at 62oC to preserve the palm sap, it was directly
incorporated into carrot cakes to replace the table sugar at 0% (control) and 20% level.
Both the products were then analysed using scanning electron microscopy to observe their
microscopic characteristics. The findings suggested that there was a denser, more compact
and lesser number of air cells structure in the carrot cake incorporated with 20%
concentrated N. fruticans sap compared to the cake without the addition of concentrated
N. fruticans sap. The carrot cake incorporated with 20% concentrated N. fruticans sap was
found to have a glycaemic index value of 50 which was significantly lower than the
control carrot cake with a glycaemic index value of 55. Although the incorporation of
concentrated N. fruticans sap did not lower the postprandial peak glucose responses of
carrot cake, it helped in lowering the glycaemic index value of carrot cake.
The effect of combination of sugarcane pressmud compost and potassium fertilizer on vegetative growth of corn in coastal sandy soil
Authors: Budiyanto G.
Published: June 2021

Generally, coastal sandy soil has low water content and potassium nutrients. One way to
fix this is by adding organic matter and potassium fertilizers. Sugarcane press mud
compost as organic material acts as a slow-release fertilizer, it has an effect long enough
to support plant growth. A pot experiment was carried out to test the probability of
combining sugarcane press mud compost and potassium fertilizer to improve the
vegetative growth of corn plants in coastal sandy soils. This research was arranged in a
factorial completely randomized design. The first factor is the dosages of sugarcane press
mud compost (0, 20, 25, 30, 35 tons per hectare). The second factor is the dosages of
potassium fertilizer (0, 60, 90, and 120 kg K2O per hectare). After applying basal fertilizer
(120 kg N per hectare and 90 kg P2O5 per hectare) and the treatment factor has been
applied, the corn seed is planted and grown until vegetative growth or at flowering. The
results showed that sugarcane press mud compost and potassium fertilizer interacted with
the effect of shoots fresh and dry weight, fresh weight, and root dry weight. The
combination treatment of 25 tons of sugarcane press mud compost per hectare and 90 kg
K2O per hectare (B2P2) resulted in the highest fresh weight and dry weight of shoots.
Meanwhile, the combination of 0 tons of sugarcane press mud compost per hectare and
120 kg K2O per hectare (B0P3) produced the highest fresh weight and plant roots' dry
weight. The two treatments did not interact in influencing plant height and potassium
content in the corn leaf tissue. Both the sugarcane press mud treatment (20, 25, 30 and 35
tons per hectare), and the application of potassium fertilizer (60 and 90 kg K2O per
hectare) significantly increased plant height growth. The highest dosage of sugarcane
press mud compost (35 tons per hectare) and potassium fertilizer (120 kg K2O per hectare)
produces potassium content in plant leaf tissue
Chemical and bacteriological risks of shrimp and clams (Gandofly) from Suez Gulf
Authors: Amin A.N. , Ahemd A.M. , O.M. Ahmed
Published: June 2021

Shellfish including shrimp and clams are consumed allover the world for their nutritional
value, however, handling in seafood markets may challenge their safety and quality.
Shellfish products in the fish markets in Suez Governorate were evaluated
throughchemical analysis of total volatile basic nitrogen value, thiobarbituric acid,
histamine content, and some heavy metals residues. As well as, microbiological estimation
of the total aerobic counts, Enterobacteriaceae counts, Escherichia coli counts, and
Staphylococcus aureus counts, in addition of Salmonella detection. Results declared that
more than half of the examined samples of shrimp and clams (gandofly) were fit for
human consumption based on the permissible limits of the Egyptian standard. Otherwise,
some gandofly samples contain high levels of total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N),
thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBA), and may cause scombroid food poisoning
with elevated histamine level. The levels of cadmium, lead, and zinc in shellfish samples
under study was different with the sequence: Zn>Pb>Cd. Bacteria including E. coli and
Staphylococcus aureus were identified. The analysed samples in this study were judged as
medium/good quality market samples as more than half of the examined samples were
within the Egyptian standard and may indicate that trading of shellfish at Suez markets
went under abuse storage temperature.

Published: June 2021

Pesticides have long been used in the cabbage industry to control pest infestation. This
study investigated the potential application of low-cost and portable visible shortwave
near-infrared spectroscopy for the detection of deltamethrin residue in cabbages. A total of
sixty organic cabbage samples were used. The sample was divided into four batches, three
batches were sprayed with deltamethrin pesticide whereas the remaining batch was not
sprayed (control sample). The first three batches of the cabbages were sprayed with the
pesticide at three different concentrations, namely low, medium and high with the values
of 0.08, 0.11 and 0.14% volume/volume (v/v), respectively. Spectral data of the cabbage
samples were collected using visible shortwave near-infrared (VSNIR) spectrometer with
wavelengths range between 200 and 1100 nm. Gas chromatography-electron capture
detector (GC-ECD) was used to determine the concentration of deltamethrin residues in
the cabbages. Partial least square (PLS) regression method was adopted to investigate the
relationship between the spectral data and deltamethrin concentration values. The
calibration model produced the values of coefficient of determination (R2
) and the root
mean square error of calibration (RMSEC) of 0.98 and 0.02, respectively. For the
prediction model, the values of R2
and the root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP)
were 0.94 and 0.04, respectively. These results demonstrated that the proposed
spectroscopic measurement is a promising technique for the detection of pesticide at
different concentrations in cabbage samples.

Three manuscripts form the basis of this dissertation exploring the effect of drought and climate on agriculture in New Zealand. The first manuscript examines the effects of droughts on agricultural profitability and farms' business performance indicators across dairy and sheep/beef land-uses in New Zealand. This study applies a fixed effect panel regression model using financial and agricultural data at the firm level from Statistics New Zealand's Longitudinal Business Database (LBD) over 2007-2016. The analysis shows that, on average, a recent drought increases revenue and profit from dairy farming.

The second manuscript explores regional differences in the impacts of drought events in New Zealand between 2007-2016. Dramatically different climatic conditions across New Zealand regions motivated this work. The study finds that Waikato and Taranaki's dairy farms – the main dairy producers- positively affected by drought event. This effect is potentially associated with drought‐induced higher milk prices. The positive impacts of drought are no longer identifiable once the model control for milk prices. Whereas sheep/beef farms' gross income and profit were negatively affected by droughts across most sheep/beef farming regions. The analysis also reports that there is no relationship between the persistent impact of drought events and farms' income and profits, on average, over three years.

The third manuscript estimates the Ricardian approach to examine how climate differences affect farmland values in New Zealand. This study applies the spatial first differences (SFD) method that compares climate differences to land value differences between adjacent neighbours to eliminate the omitted variables bias. This work estimates the effect of climate on overall rural land-uses and various land-uses between 1993 and 2018. The SFD estimation shows that warmer conditions are associated with higher capital values. There is also a positive relationship between farmland values and dryer soils. These relationships are likely due to causal effects of factors tied to climate such as agricultural productivity, the value of land improvements (tied to climate), and amenity values associated with residential uses.

Collapse in a Transfinite Hierarchy of Turing Degrees
Authors:   , Hammatt Ellen
Published: June 2021

In [2], Downey and Greenberg use the ordinals below ε0 to bound the number of mind-changes of computable approximations. This gives rise to a new transfinite hierarchy in the c.e. degrees; the totally α-c.a. degrees. This hierarchy is significant because it unifies the combinatorics of many constructions as well as giving natural definability results in the c.e. Turing degrees. We study the structure of this hierarchy; in particular we investigate collapse in upper cones. We give a proof in which we build a c.e. set using a strategy tree to show there is no uniform way to find a maximal totally ω^2-c.a. degree above a given totally ω-c.a. degree. Then we discuss extensions of this result.

The Impact of COVID-19 on Consumer Behavior in the Luxury Industry
Authors: De Maio Benedetta
Published: June 2021

The following paper is aimed at understanding how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed consumers’ attitude towards consumption of luxury and discretionary goods, what are the consequences of these disruptions, and what strategies brand can employ in order to survive in a post-pandemic future. This situation served as a catalyst to accelerate some of the True Luxury Consumer trends that were beginning to gain popularity in the past few years, such as the prioritization of experiences over physical items, resulting in a tendency towards minimalism; the increased interest in sustainability, ethics, and the Corporate Social Responsibility commitments of brands; the enhanced use of online distribution channels, and the consequential need for a seamless omnichannel strategy which could effortlessly and efficiently replicate the offline, in-store experience on digital platforms; and, finally, the emergence of new ways to experience luxury goods which prioritize accessibility over ownership, such as the second-hand market for luxury as well as luxury rental services, like Rent The Runway. The pandemic has highlighted a series of issues in society, healthcare, and businesses; the consequences of these issues have been tragic, but also eye-opening for brands as well as consumers. In the clients’ perspective, big companies hold the responsibility to not only provide a product or a service, but also to be helpful assets to their communities. Brands should live up to these expectations, not just to survive in the “new normal”, but also to genuinely help build a better future once the dust settles.

In outbreak prevention and infection control amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Philippine government mandated the returning Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) to undergo a 14-day quarantine and isolation upon arrival in the country. In this light, this study utilized Heideggerian existential phenomenology to describe the experiences of OFWs in the quarantine facilities and the meanings they associated with their 14-day quarantine experience. Six purposively selected OFW-informants participated in the study. From the findings, five main themes emerged: (1) concerns and challenges of uncertainties, (2) emotional struggles, (3) process of coping, (4) meanings associated with their quarantine experience, and (5) their trusts and hopes. This study recommends a strengthened psycho-social support program to manage distress among OFWs and provide information and services needed to mount an appropriate response to assisting OFWs in this pandemic.
The Impact of Gender-neutral Communication on Brand Equity: A Study on Children Apparel Industry
Authors: Coggiola Matteo , Coste-Manière Ivan
Published: June 2021

This work wants to analyze the impact of communication on Brand Equity, by comparing a gendered and an ungendered type of advertising relative to a brand of children apparel. The idea of this work comes from the acknowledgement that, to the current situation, there is little research on the pro/cons of the usage of a type of communication alternative to the traditional one and free of gender stereotypes, and on its objective consequences on brand dimensions. The study was conducted using a posttest-only control group design: participants were randomly assigned to two groups, control and intervention, and were presented with two different stimuli (a gendered and a gender-neutral one). Convenience sampling has been adopted for this research and an online close-ended response questionnaire was used for data gathering. A total of 152 responses were ultimately used in the study. The study challenges the argument that gender stereotypes are efficient tools to be used in communication to elicit a positive response and generate clearer brand associations in the viewer. The results showed how a gender-neutral type of communication has an overall positive effect on Brand Equity dimension, and how this result varies according to the age range of respondents, showing a substantial gap between Gen Z and elderly generations.

Malaysia had ranked as eighth over the top 20 countries with mismanaged plastic waste. The largest source of this issue was high consumption of single-use plastic by individuals. It is believed that, residents’ social behaviour played a significant role in reducing single-use plastic, which contributed to decreased plastic pollution. Therefore, this study investigates the factors that affect residents’ single-use plastic behavioural intention in Malaysia using the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). A Quantitative study using survey questionnaire was employed and the total samples were 341 residents in Batu Pahat Johor. All of the data were analysed using regression analysis through Statistical Packages for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The results show a positive relationship between all variables except for environmental awareness and law and regulation. At the same time, the most influential factor affecting residents’ single-use plastic reducing behavioural intention was the attitude of residents against lower plastic consumption. Future studies were recommended to be conducted in urban areas which could obtain more desired outcomes. Thus, the findings from this research could provide useful and specific information for policy makers to implement effective strategies for protecting the environmental ecosystem in Malaysia. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2021-01275 Full Text: PDF
A Comparative Study of Bluetooth SPP, PAN and GOEP for Efficient Exchange of Healthcare Data
Authors: Kiourtis Athanasios , Mavrogiorgou Argyro , Kyriazis Dimosthenis
Published: June 2021

Objectives: Current research aims to address the challenges of exchanging healthcare information, since when this information has to be shared, this happens by specifically designed medical applications or even by the patients themselves. Among the problems that the Health Information Exchange (HIE) initiative is facing are that (i) third party health data cannot be accessed without internet, (ii) there exist crucial delays in accessing citizens’ data, (iii) the direct HIE can only happen among Healthcare Institutions. Methods: Towards the solution of these issues, a Device-to-Device (D2D) protocol has been specified, running on top of the Bluetooth protocol for efficient data exchange. This research is focused on this D2D protocol, by comparing the different Bluetooth profiles that can be used for transmitting this data, based on specific metrics considering the probabilities of transferring erroneous data. Findings: An evaluation of three Bluetooth profiles takes place, concluding that two of the three profiles must be used to respect the D2D protocol nature and be fully supported by the main market vendors’ operating systems. Novelty:Based on this evaluation, the specified D2D protocol has been built on top of state-of-the-art short-range distance communication technologies, fully supporting the healthcare ecosystem towards the HIE paradigm. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2021-01276 Full Text: PDF
Linkages between PISA Results and E-Working
Authors: Hvorecký Jozef , Beňo Michal
Published: June 2021

The PISA tests are considered as a quality measurement for education. If it is so, then their high results might influence the proportion between blue and white collars. As the intellectually demanding functions can be more easily executed over the internet, in a long term, this fact should be reflected in a growing proportion of e-working. To study this assumption, we examine adopting e-working within selected thirty-five countries. Research questions were formed as follows: Is there a demonstrable influence of favorable PISA results on the overall rates of e-working in certain states? Is it possible to sustain different components with e-working? Can appropriate e-working legislation contribute to the overall rates of e-working at a state’s level? Our study adopted Spearman’s Rho correlation using 4 numerical variables to measure the strength of association between pairs of variables – the proportion of e-working and four country’s PISA averages in Mathematics, Science, Reading and Financial Literacy. Its results indicate a positive correlation: the probability of e-working increases with the PISA results growth. Further, Qualitative Content Analysis was used. Based on our data e-working will not go away and it is time to update law on e-working. Governments should formalize rights and duties. Face-to-display work is likely to be an unstoppable evolution at workplace. These components affected higher e-workability. These results draw attention to how e-working is becoming major element in common life with some challenges and difficulties and that we need to study these two influencer factors in order to optimize its arrangements. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2021-01277 Full Text: PDF
