Poesia mística e lirismo universalista: o caso da revista Festa
Authors: Andrade Alexandre Melo
Published: March 2023

Neste artigo, pretendemos resgatar a revista Festa, que fez parte dos importantes periódicos modernistas brasileiros. A revista teve duas fases, sendo a primeira constituída de treze números (1927-1929) e a segunda, de nove números (1934-1935). A poesia mística e o lirismo universalista são os pontos centrais do movimento formado em torno da Festa, sobre os quais nos ocupamos aqui, desvelando aspectos modernistas pouco explorados pela crítica. Apresentamos uma discussão de textos doutrinários da revista e de poesias publicadas nas duas fases, com ênfase na poeta Cecília Meireles e nos poetas Jorge de Lima e Murilo Mendes.

Avocado is one of the most valuable products, as it is characterized by a high content of biologically active substances, including vitamins, mineral elements, fats, and dietary fibers. According to a complex of organoleptic and physicochemical indicators, the consumption properties of avocado fruits from different countries of origin, which are sold in Ukraine, have been investigated. Among the organoleptic indicators, the state of peel and pulp, taste, and smell has been determined according to the developed scoring scale. It has been established that the Haas type (Colombia) fruits have a light green pulp and a deep green peel that does not lag well behind the flesh, they are quite firm, the taste is watery, and there are no significant defects, the stem is not damaged. Haas (Israel) avocados had light green pulp and a brownish-black peel that separated from the flesh very well, with little evidence of pollination, a nice buttery flavour, and a nice texture. There is a slight peel defect (pollination mark) with an area of less than 4 cm2, which does not affect the fruit's flesh, and the stem is not damaged. The fruit of the Fuerte type (Israel) had a light green pulp and a deep-green peel that did not lag well behind the flesh, a somewhat grassy taste, and a loose flesh texture. The fruit had a defect in the peel (lens) with an area of less than 6 cm2, which does not affect the fruit's flesh, and the stem is not damaged. It has been found that the researched types of avocado fruits from different countries of origin differ in shape, size, and the ratio of peel, pulp, and stone. From the physicochemical parameters, the mass fraction of moisture, the content of dry soluble substances, active acidity, the content of ascorbic acid, and the fatty acid composition of lipids of avocado fruits have been determined.
Enhancing Social Communication Skills in Children with Special Needs - A Comparative Group Study in the Early Intervention Unit
Authors: Ranjan Rajeev , Naqvi Tabinda , Singh Gaur Swetlana
Published: March 2023

Early intervention is a crucial component in assisting children with special needs to reach their full cognitive, emotional, and social potential. As early childhood is a crucial period of development for both the brain and the child's overall growth, interventions must begin at this time. Most children with special needs lack in their social and communication skills. This may be due to non-exposure to early enrolment in the play school or early intervention where they can learn from their peer. Group therapy as a part of early intervention gives better results in improving children's social communication skills. Therefore, this study aimed to see the impact of group therapy on the social communication skills of children with special needs in the early intervention unit. Twenty children, 10 males, and 10 females, aged 0–6 years, attending CDIC EIU were selected for group therapy at CRC, Lucknow. These had a provisional diagnosis of ASD, GDD, ID, and HI. Pre and Post scores were measured for the 4 selected domains, i.e., social skills, joint attention, receptive, and expressive language age by available tests and scales. Various studies show the impact of group therapy on social communication skills in children. Similarly, in the current study, the social communication of children got better with increased post-therapy scores after undergoing group therapy. The significant difference found through ANOVA was appropriate within the group and was approaching the target value among the group. Hence, this indicates a positive impact of group therapy on social communication in children.

A Brief History of the Baguio Sine
Authors: Locsin Ma. Rina
Published: March 2023

The establishment, growth and death of the stand-alone movie theaters (sine) in Baguio City is narrated from the 1900s to the beginning of the 2000s, noting the context for their establishment and the reasons for their rise and decline. Using Homi K. Bhabha’s concept of hybridity, the Baguio sine is then analyzed: first, as a social space initially reflecting the Baguio locals’ resistance and accommodation of the American colonizer who developed the city as a resort town; and second, as a site of negotiation where the colonized developed their own hybrid identity and culture. This study on the independent movie theaters in Baguio is circumscribed in a domestic setting, allowing for the inclusion of vernacular memory in the construction of history.
NEPA at Kababaihan: Pag-aaral sa Ugnayan ng Pagsasakatawan ng Kasarian, Pagganap, at Pagtanggap ng Isang Identidad
Authors: Talamayan Fernan
Published: March 2023

Makikita sa kasaysayang kolonyal ng ating bansa ang pagsasantabi, pagsasagilid, at diskriminasyon ng kababaihan. Sa pagdating ng mga Espanyol, pinalitan ng mga pari ang mga babaylan at ikinulong ang kababaihan sa bahay at sa simbahan. Sa pagdating naman ng mga Amerikano pinagharian ng mga lalaki ang mundo ng politika, kalakalan, at lakas paggawa. Sa pagyakap ng patriyarkiya, sabay na ikinahon ang imahe ng kababaihan sa kusina, sa bahay, at sa pamilya. Kapansin-pansin ang pagkakahong ito sa iba’t ibang materyales pangkalinangan sa Pilipinas tulad ng mga patalastas, polyeto, pahayagan, at iba pa. Sa pag-aaral na ito, susuriin ang National Economic Protectionism Association o NEPA at mga materyales pangkalinangan nito noong dekada ng 1930. Gamit ang struktura ng samahan at tekstong media nito, ipakikita kung papaano nila isinakatawan ang gampanin ng kababaihan noong 1934 hanggang 1941. Gagaygayin ang pagsalin ng mga pagsasakatawang ito sa kanila mismong ginanapan at maaaring tinanggap na identidad. Ipaliliwanag din kung bakit sa panahon ng pag-usbong ng aktibismo sa hanay ng kababaihan, tila may ilang yumakap at tumanggap sa naturang pagsasakatawan sa kanila.
Breaking Down Bromance: An Analysis of NigaHiga’s Bromance Music Video and Word of the Day: Bromance Episode
Authors: Soresca Isabel Patricia
Published: March 2023

In a society where expectations often influence people more than they are aware of, we find a humorous take on society’s expectations of men and how they express affection toward one another. NigaHiga’s Word of the Day: Bromance video and Bromance music video poke fun at the idea of bromance and, along the way, provide us with an opportunity to look deeper into this male-to-male relationship. Bromance is a combination of the word brother and romance. It is a term created to capture the essence of a male bond so strong and intimate, it assaults the border between brotherhood and romantic, homosexual relationships. The term coined for relationships between those of the same gender such as this is Homosocial. This paper then looks at bromance as a homosocial relationship and discusses men’s struggle to perform according to hegemonic masculinity and express affection at the same time—as exhibited by Nigahiga’s videos, now an Internet sensation.
Mediated Health: Interrogating Health-Promotion Campaign Messages for Filipino Household Service Workers in Hong Kong
Authors: Bernadas Jan Michael Alexandra
Published: March 2023

While the consequences of international labor migration on the health of temporary and low-skilled workers have gained programmatic attention, these are often overlooked in health media scholarship. Using both a structural critique of health promotion (Nettleton & Bunton, 1995) and a culture-centered approach (Dutta, 2007), this article takes a closer look at the health campaign messages circulated by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) which are directed at Filipino household service workers (FHSWs). Specifically, this article focuses on influenza- and avian influenza-related messages found in pamphlets, posters, and fact sheets. Textual analysis reveals four problematic assumptions made in these materials.First, health promotion campaign messages reinforce the taken-for-granted value of vaccination. Second, they assume that FHSWs have sufficient access to quality food and rest. Third, they assume that FHSWs have the resources to avail of the prescribed prevention services. Fourth, health-promotion campaign messages assume that FHSWs have adequate access to health care services. Instead of promoting an inclusive public health agenda, they may have further marginalized FHSWs in HKSAR.
Bamboo Gods and Bionic Boys: A Brief History of the Philippines’ B Films
Authors: Leavold Andrew
Published: March 2023

As one of the Asian region’s and (at one point) the world’s most prolific film cultures, the Philippines is distinguished by an under appreciated parallel cinema that comprises films for international release. This paper considers the heretofore untold history of the emergence of this phenomenon, from the breakdown of the post-WWII studio system, inspects the usefulness of available descriptors such as “independent” and export films, and focuses on the still-problematizable “B films” term as the most appropriate one for the present study. It tracks the many twists and turns in the narrative of B-film production, with careful attention to the auteurs (not just directors but also producers and performers) who played prominent roles in ensuring that this parallel sub-industry would be able to thrive alongside the better-recognized mainstream one.
WHEN EAST MEETS WEST: American and Chinese Influences on Early Indonesian Action Cinema The List of Filmography of Early Indonesian Action Movies (1926-1941)
Authors: Meiresonne Bastian
Published: March 2023

The beginning of Indonesian Cinema has elicited debates ever since politics named the first day of Usmar Ismail’s Darah dan Doa (The Long March) shooting (30th of March 1950) as the official “birthdate” of its movie industry. There have been films before. Dozens of them. They might have been Dutch or Chinese productions, but all of them contributed to Indonesia’s unique cinema history especially in the action genre. Action movies are closely related to Indonesian cinema history since the first ever long feature Loeteong Kasaroeng (Enchanted Monkey) produced in 1926 was an action-orientated fantasy spectacle. It was followed by many martial arts movies during the late 1920s and 1930s and every drama had at least one fighting sequence to entertain the audience. This paper will take a closer look at the different foreign influences in the Indonesian cinema of the 1920s-1940s and which contributed to one of the most popular genres in the contemporary Indonesian film industry. A list of filmography is attached to complement this article.
Curbing the Menaces of Rape and Sexual Violence in Contemporary Nigerian Societies
Authors: Datsau Abednego Audu
Published: March 2023

The aim of this research work is to curb the menace of rape and sexual violence in contemporary Nigerian societies. This became necessary because rape and sexual violence are some of the challenges which many suffered from in contemporary Nigerian societies. These vices have gradually become a serious threat to vulnerable people in the country. It is no longer safe for female children and women to walk alone in some places because of the fear of being raped or sexually abused. The findings of the research have shown that there are alarming rate of rape and sexual violence in Nigerian society. For there are many instances in which children, especially female children have been raped on their way to or from school or at home when their parents left for works. Therefore, this problem has done a lot of damage to many female children and women alike. It has also shattered the life of many people, who have been victims of this evil menace. Although people who have been affected by the evil of rape and sexual violence are suffering from the trauma of what happened to them, yet little is being done to curb this menace. This research has shown that this is a pathetic situation that requires urgent attention from all concerned and well-meaning citizens. The major question which this research paper has answered is that: What is it that should be done in order to curb the menace of rape and sexual violence against those who are vulnerable to these inhuman acts in Nigerian societies? While the method that was used in this research is “Random surveys” of cases of rape and sexual violence in Nigeria. The researcher finds it necessary to adopt this method because it is suitable for an objective generalization of the findings. Meanwhile, the theory on which this research hangs is the “Holistic Approach Theory”. The premise of this theory is that curbing the menace of rape and sexual violence in contemporary Nigerian societies requires the collective efforts of the community, the church, the government, civil society/NGOs, mass media and that of the concern citizens. The research presupposes that unless all efforts are collectively put together, it will be difficult to fight these evils that have ravaged our societies.
Appraisal of the Level of Information and Communication Technology Competencies Possessed by Office Technology and Management (OTM) Educators for Effective Training of Self-Reliance Skills in Polytechnics in Kogi State
Authors: A.F. Tony-Okeme , U. Iyaji , J.A. Aliyu
Published: March 2023

The study was carried out to appraise the level of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) competencies possessed by OTM educators for effective training of self-reliance skills in Polytechnics in Kogi State with a view to finding out the specific skill areas in which competencies are lacking. Six specific objectives and six research questions were raised to guide the study. The study employed the descriptive research design. The population for the study consisted of all the OTM educators at the Federal Polytechnic, Idah and Kogi State Polytechnic, Lokoja. There was no sampling as the population was manageable. A 73-item, 4-point rating scale questionnaire titled: Appraisal of the Level of Information and Communication Technology Competencies Possessed by Office Technology and Management Educators for Effective Training of Self-Reliance Skills in Kogi State (ALICTPOTMEETSS) was used to obtain data from respondents. The findings indicated that OTM educators possessed high competencies in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint; however, they recorded low competencies in Microsoft Access, Microsoft Publisher and Internet skills. The study concluded that these levels of competencies possessed have great implications for the self-reliance of OTM students as it justifies the opinion of a number of researchers that lack of competency in office applications has limited the effective impartation of Microsoft office skills. The study therefore recommended amongst others that OTM educators should be trained and retrained in Microsoft Access, Microsoft Publisher and internet skills for effective training and quality instructional deliveries.

Model Pembelajaran Kooperatif Tipe Think Pair Share untuk Meningkatkan Hasil Belajar Sejarah Peserta Didik Kelas X IPS 1 di MA Nurul Islam Mojokerto
Authors: Budi Setiawan
Published: March 2023

Pembelajaran sejarah kurang memperhatikan seberapa besar pengaruh atau manfaat pembelajaran terhadap perkembangan peserta didik. Pembelajaran sejarah hanya sekedar memberi atau menyampaikan informasi yang terjadi pada masa lalu kepada peserta didik. Pembelajaran semacam ini tentunya dapat mengurangi minat belajar dari peserta didik karena pembelajaran yang mombosankan dan tidak ada sesuatu yang baru dari pembelajaran sejarah. Pelajaran sejarah yang dianggap membosankan ini akhirnya berpengaruh pada tidak maksimalnya hasil belajar peserta didik. Penerapan metode pembelajaran Think Pair Share (TPS) telah berhasil memudahkan pemahaman para peserta didik pada materi sejarah nenek moyang Indonesia dan bukti peninggalan kebudayaannya yang akhirnya bisa meningkatkan hasil belajar peserta didik. Dengan metode tersebut peserta didik dapat melakukan pembelajaran yang bermakna, efektif dan efisien, karena peserta didik melakukan pembelajaran dengan melalui beberapa tahap yaitu mendengarkan penjelasan dari guru, diskusi, menyampaikan jawaban dan tanya jawab.  Dari hasil observasi ini, metode TPS bisa meningkatkan hasil belajar pada setiap aspek yaitu aspek kognitif, afektif dan psikomotor. Metode tersebut juga berhasil membantu peserta didik untuk lebih memahami materi yang sedang dipelajarinya. Peningkatan pemahaman diperlihatkan pada sesi penilaian individu, ketika peserta didik mengerjakan soal tes yang diberikan disetiap akhir jam pejalaran. Dari pertemuan pertama ke pertemua kedua menunjukkan peningkatan pemahaman materi pada diri peserta didik.

Published: March 2023

This study examines the politeness strategies of the characters in the Princess Diaries movie. The data were utterances of Mia and her grandmother, the main characters in the Princess Diaries movie. The analysis is based on Scollon and Scollon's politeness theory. As a result, the researcher found that Mia and Her Grandmother employed two types of politeness: involvement and independent strategies. Mia used twenty politeness strategies, including four involvement strategies and sixteen independent strategies. Her grandmother, on the other hand, employed fifteen politeness strategies: twelve involvement strategies and three independent strategies. This study may inspire additional researchers to investigate politeness strategies not only in two characters but also in various films, theories, or methods. Additionally, it is hoped that research on politeness strategies will expand our understanding of how linguistic aspects, particularly in English, are applied.

An Enhanced Explicit Port Forwarding Solution for Improving Video Delivery over Software-Defined Networks
Authors: Chih-Heng Ke Chih-Heng Ke , Chih-Heng Ke Yu-Wen Lo , Yu-Wen Lo Yeong-Sheng Chen , Yeong-Sheng Chen Hung-Pai Chen
Published: March 2023

In order to improve video delivery, an Enhanced Explicit Port Forwarding (EEPF) solution is proposed. Data are divided into ordinary packets and video packets using a packet identification mechanism. Traditional mechanisms transmit packets through routing table lookup. As the size of the routing table often becomes excessively large, this lookup can be time-consuming. While the EEPF solution directly includes the transmission path in the video packet, which can reduce the transmission time. And by setting header flags/fields in video packets, the transmission can be further optimized. For example, to reduce the amount of duplicate data to be transmitted for broadcast packets are not replicated until they arrive at the destination switch; to avoid packet loss caused by disconnection, the transmission path can be monitored and rerouting can be initiated immediately in the event of disconnection; to increase the chance of successful delivery, packets can be replicated before they are transmitted via a path with high packet loss risk; and to prevent video packets from being discarded, the switch queue status can be monitored and managed. The testing results have shown that the EEPF solution can effectively shorten the time of video packet transmission and improve the quality of transmitted video.

 
On The Impossibility of Providing Strong Anonymity in Blockchains via Linkable Ring Signatures
Authors: Huang Zhang Huang Zhang , Huang Zhang Fangguo Zhang , Fangguo Zhang Ke Gu
Published: March 2023

Anonymity is a necessary property for a ring signature scheme and also its variant such as linkable ring signature and traceable ring signature schemes, which are especially useful in blockchains. Intuitively, those variants were designed for detecting or seeking the dishonest signatory, however, at the cost of reducing the anonymity of a traditional ring signature. As a result, while various constructions of strongly anonymous ring signatures were well-known, a linkable ring signature scheme with the same property was an open problem for a long time. In this work, we launched a so-called denying attack to show the gap between an arbitrary ring signature and linkable ring signature transparently, which further confirmed the widely believed impossibility in building a linkable ring signature with both strong anonymity and strong linkability. For a concrete instance, we also applied this attack to the scheme in IEEE TKDE, which to the best of our knowledge is the unique linkable ring signature both with strong anonymity and strong linkability so far. The concrete attack is easily launched in blockchain so that it shows the impossibility of providing strong anonymity via linkable ring signature for blockchain applications, since strong likability is indispensable.

 
Immunoterapia orale per arachide, da piccoli è meglio. I risultati di un RCT

Published: March 2023

Monosymptomatic primary nocturnal enuresis and daily urotherapy: an unnecessary intervention? Although evidence of their effectiveness is lacking, basic bladder function indications (urotherapy, BBA), according to old international guidelines have been the first step in treating nocturnal enuresis in children. Sixty-two children aged 6-11 were randomized into 3 groups (standard urotherapy, enuresis alarm, no treatment) and followed for 8 weeks; response to therapy was measured, defined as a reduction in the number of wet nights during the last 2 weeks of treatment (or no treatment), compared with 2 weeks before the intervention. The difference in reduction in frequency of enuresis between groups was highly significant (p=0.002) in favor of the alarm group, while no difference was found between BBA and controls. The small number of participants, the brevity of follow-up, and the lack of follow-up on compliance, do not allow the results to be generalized. It is reported that urotherapy is no longer planned in the treatment of monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis according to the 2020 ICCS guideline update. Surprisingly, although the authors cited this update regarding the usefulness of the micturition chart in the initial evaluation of all children with enuresis, they made no mention of urotherapy being surpassed as the first level of treatment in monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis.

Published: March 2023

Antimicrobial resistance is a public health problem emerging in all areas of the world, making difficult to treat many common infections. Antimicrobial stewardship is an instrument to fight antimicrobial resistance. Antimicrobial stewardship is a set of procedures aimed at saving as many doses of antibiotics as possible to preserve their future efficacy, limiting the selective pressure on world microbial population. It includes those assessments regarding the administration of antibiotics that start from the correct patient’s selection to start antibiotic treatment, to choose the most suitable molecule and the route of administration, collecting microbiological samples to isolate a microorganism and arrive at any modification of narrow-spectrum antibiotic therapy or even discontinuation of the antibiotic.
Adolescenti con e senza DSA dopo due anni di pandemia: esiti psicologici differenti?
Authors: Catapan Vanessa , Scorza Maristella , Camia Michela
Published: March 2023

Although the risk of psychopathological problems for adolescents with Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) is well-acknowledged, few studies focused on this population after two years of Covid-19 pandemic. The study has two main goals: to investigate strengths and difficulties in the emotional, social and behavioral areas in a group of adolescents with SLD and to analyze the concordance between the mothers’, fathers’ and adolescents’ reports. The study involved 4 adolescents with SLD and 7 typically developing (TD) peers aged 11-14 years. The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) administered on-line. In contrast with the main pre- Covid studies, the SLD adolescents did not show more psychological problems than TD peers. On the contrary a higher percentage of adolescents with TD fell into the clinical range. We also observed a low parents-adolescent concordance. Clinical and educational implications derived from these results are discussed.
Quanto sono credibili i racconti di abuso sessuale fatti dai bambini?
Authors: Malacrea Mariella , Pessina Cristina
Published: March 2023

Viene qui presentata una recente e importante ricerca condotta da autori italiani relativa alla credibilità dei racconti prodotti da bambini sospettati di aver subito abuso sessuale. Nello specifico la ricerca si concentra su quei racconti che presentano dettagli insoliti, bizzarri, particolarmente raccapriccianti e che proprio per questo possono venir non creduti e considerati frutto di fantasia. La ricerca dimostra come, invece, la presenza di questi dettagli sia frequente e ricorrente nei racconti di abuso sessuale e come questi copioni perversi siano individuabili nel mondo della pedopornografia e in particolare nel dark web. La presenza di elementi inusuali non deve perciò indurre a considerare il racconto di abuso poco credibile senza prima aver effettuato i dovuti approfondimenti e le dovute valutazioni.
Il bambino con atassia acuta

Published: March 2023

Pediatric acute ataxia generally represents an infrequent occurrence of pediatric emergency department access, but the broad differential diagnosis concerning it requires, starting with anamnesis and objective examination, to mainly exclude life-threatening causes in the child. For these reasons, the diagnosis of acute post infectious cerebellar ataxia, a benign and self-limiting form, which is the underlying cause in most cases of acute ataxia must always be a diagnosis of exclusion. The broad differential diagnosis also requires a correct approach that must consider the setting about the use of imaging techniques proportional to the urgency, in order to reduce the risk of unnecessary radio exposure. Starting from this, we have attempted to summarize the literature regarding the clinical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests necessary to arrive at a correct diagnosis.
CHANGE MANAGEMENT PROJECT AS A TOOL FOR IMPLEMENTING THE MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
Authors: Мясникова Т.А. , Лобанова С.А. , Коваленко М.Г.
Published: March 2023

В статье рассматриваются особенности современной методологии стратегического планирования социально-экономического развития муниципальных образований. Акцентируется внимание на том, что к планированию привлекаются стейкхолдеры местного сообщества, а не все целевые группы, что может привести к сопротивлению стратегическим изменениям со стороны местных сообществ. Автор описывает причины сопротивления изменениям: экономические, социальные, личностные, политические, и предлагает проект управления изменениями как инструмент преодоления сопротивления изменениям в муниципальном образовании. Технология разработки проекта управления изменениями разработана автором на основе модели Курта Левина и технологии стратегического планирования Кубанской школы развития местных сообществ.

The article discusses the features of the modern methodology of strategic planning of the socio-economic development of municipalities. It is emphasized that local community stakeholders are involved in planning, rather than all target groups, which can lead to resistance to strategic change by local communities. The author describes the reasons for resistance to change: economic, social, personal, political and proposes a change management project as a tool to overcome resistance to change in the municipality. The technology for developing a change management project was developed by the author based on the model of Kurt Levin and the technology for strategic planning of the Kuban Schoolfor the Development of Local Communities.

Authors: Tiwari Ashitabh
Published: March 2023

Three-hundred-and-thirty-four cognitive profiles from neuropsychological examinations assessed during a 2-year period from geriatric patients of a day clinic in the U.P were analyzed. For this purpose, the profiles were divided into the following subgroups: (1) Mild Cognitive Impairment, no depression (2) Onset or mild dementia, no depression (3) No cognitive deficit, depression (4) cognitively impaired (MCI, dementia) and depression. Subgroups were be compared using analysis of variance (independent variable IV: diagnostic groups, dependent variable DV: cognitive functions) to reveal specific differences that will allow a differential diagnosis. Post-hoc comparisons and a graphical representation of the cognitive profiles were also investigated. All cognitive profiles with a Mini-Mental-State-Examination (MMSE) score of 25 or more points were selected for analysis if they had complete data from the following testing procedures: MMSE, clock drawing test, Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), Syndrom-Kurztest (SKT), Nuremberg Aging Inventory (NAI) maze test, Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) similarities, Rivermead Be- havioral Memory Test (RBMT) story immediate and delayed.

A avaliação do estado nutricional tem se tornado um fator cada vez mais importante para detecção de situações de risco, no diagnóstico nutricional e no planejamento de ações de promoção à saúde e prevenção de doenças. Sua importância é reconhecida tanto na Atenção Básica (AB), para acompanhar o desenvolvimento socioeconômico e a saúde, quanto na detecção precoce de distúrbios nutricionais. Este estudo possui o objetivo de avaliar comparativamente, a partir de critérios objetivos e subjetivos, o estado nutricional de frequentadores de uma unidade básica de saúde do médio paraíba. O Estudo foi realizado com 113 pacientes de ambos os sexos, que frequentavam a unidade básica de saúde. Para a avaliação nutricional, além dos dados antropométricos; (peso, altura, índice de massa corporal, circunferência do braço, circunferência da cintura, circunferência do quadril, utilizou-se o Teste: “Como está a sua alimentação? ’’ Do Guia Alimentar (BRASIL, 2014) em forma de questionário. A análise dos resultados foi realizada mediante estatística descritiva. Participaram do estudo 42 homens (37%) e 71 mulheres (63%) aproximadamente, com média de idade de 30 a 50 anos. Conclui-se que a avaliação nutricional demonstrou que a obesidade se destaca nos pacientes que frequentam a UBS, a obesidade é uma Doença Crônica não Transmissíveis – DCNT, hábitos alimentares e de vida inadequados, têm causado alterações do estado nutricional e outras diversas Doenças Crônicas não Transmissíveis (DCNT). Diante dos dados analisados verificou-se a necessidade de promover uma maior aceitabilidade dos serviços de nutrição dentro das unidades de saúde na tentativa de promover melhoria na qualidade de vida dos usuários do serviço, não ficando apenas como meio curativo, mas sobretudo preventivo das mais diversas patologias que afetam a população.

A Antropologia Forense é o ramo da Antropologia Física que lida com as perícias criminais de ossadas e de cadáveres carbonizados ou em estado avançado de decomposição. A estimativa do sexo é uma etapa essencial para identificar indivíduos desconhecidos e geralmente depende da presença de ossos altamente dimórficos, como a pelve e o crânio. O presente trabalho tem por finalidade estudar três medidas lineares no manúbrio esternal e relacioná-las com o dimorfismo sexual. Para o nosso estudo foram utilizados 150 esternos secos de adultos, sendo 49 do sexo feminino e 101 do sexo masculino, compreendidos na faixa etária entre 20 e 95 anos. As medidas utilizadas foram: altura máxima do manúbrio, largura máxima do manúbrio e largura da incisura jugular.  Com relação ao sexo masculino, a média da altura máxima do manúbrio foi de 55,76mm, da largura máxima de 54,02mm e da largura da incisura jugular de 15,67mm. No sexo feminino as médias foram: altura máxima do manúbrio de 52,45mm, largura máxima de 52,52mm e largura da incisura jugular de 16,28mm. Observamos que os manúbrios do sexo masculino apresentaram dimensões maiores, exceto na largura da incisura jugular. É possível que metodologias como a empregada no presente estudo, isolada ou ao lado de outras, possam vir a contribuir para o acerto de pesquisas sobre a investigação do sexo dentro da Medicina Legal, Antropologia Forense e de outros campos de estudo afins.
Pluralisme Quranik Perspektif Hamka
Authors: Huda Hisbulloh
Published: March 2023

Hamka memiliki pandangan pluralis empatik, ini tergambar dalam penafsiran-penafsirannya tentang ayat-ayat yang berkaitan dengan makna pluralisme pada Tafsir al-Azhar.  Dalam menafsirkan ayat-ayat tersebut, Hamka memberikan pendekatan pemahaman pluralisme dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat. Pemahaman dalam Tafsir al-Azhar memberikan penekanan sikap empatik setiap individu kelompok masyarakat terhadap diri, lingkungan, maupun hubunganya dengan Tuhan. Tulisan ini sejalan dengan pendapat Nurcholis Madjid dan Ernst Troeltsch yang meyakini pentingnya pluralisme empatik dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat.
Tegangan antara Metafisika dan Teologi dalam Pemikiran Agustinus
Authors: Tetiro Agustinus
Published: March 2023

Tulisan ini mencoba melihat dan memperlihatkan bagaimana usaha Agustinus memperlakukan secara produktif filsafat Yunani untuk keperluan teologi Kristen yang lebih operasional, terutama dalam pembahasannya tentang Allah Tritunggal. Agustinus, sebagaimana para pemikir kristiani abad pertengahan lainnya, berada pada kondisi zaman yang memperlakukan filsafat sebagai hamba teologi (anchila theologiae) pada satu sisi. Sedangkan pada sisi yang lain, ada keyakinan tidak tertulis bahwa seorang teolog yang baik pastilah juga merupakan seorang filsuf yang baik. Pada abad pertengahan juga terkenal dua ungkapan yang sangat lazim dalam lintasan pemikiran kekristenan: “credo ut intelligam” (saya beriman supaya saya mengerti) dan “fides quarens intellectum” (iman  yang berusaha memahami dirinya).

Authors: Frigidanto Agung
Published: March 2023

Artikel ini ingin membahas karya seni dari sudut pandang filsuf Adorno yang sering membahas masalah estetika dalam banyak bukunya, misalnya buku Aesthetic Theory yang diterbitkan pada tahun 1970. Prinsip-prinsip estetika Adorno akan dipergunakan untuk membaca karya lukis yang berjudul “Moral Guard Police”, sebuah lukisan triptych berukuran 100 X 240 cm2, karya Syakieb Sungkar yang dibuat di tahun 2022, dan pernah dipamerkan pada sebuah media pada 3 November 2022. Metode yang dipakai dalam penulisan adalah penelitian kualitatif deskriptif dengan cara mengumpulkan teks dan gambar untuk kemudian dianalisa dan ditafsirkan. Pertimbangan metode yang dipilih karena cocok untuk menggambarkan fenomena yang ada, baik fenomena natural maupun hasil rekayasa manusia. Temuan yang diharapkan dalam tulisan ini adalah, bahwa suatu karya seni dapat ditafsirkan secara memadai dengan menerapkan teori estetika Adorno. Adapun pembahasan teori Adorno dalam tulisan ini sebagian besar didasarkan pada buku “Seni Sebagai Pembebasan” yang ditulis oleh pelukisnya sendiri.

Forestcover in Indian Himalayan states – An overview
Authors: Negi Satya
Published: March 2023

Globally, there is increasing realization of the dependence of humans on ecosystems and the role by forests in providing important ecosystem services. Forests are the chief source of livelihood in developing countries in general and mountains in particular. The five Indian Himalayan states constitute about 12.84% of the total geographical area of the country. The Indian Himalaya holds key to India’s ecological security and is the major provider of various forest products and hydro power. The Himalaya is the store house of glaciers which provides perennial river systems for mountain inhabitants as well as millions of people living downstream for settlements, agriculture and industries. Good forest cover in Himalayan states is central to maintain ecological balance and environmental stability as it prevents soil erosion and land degradation. India’s National Forest Policy (NFP) of 1988 aims at maintaining 66% of the geographical area in the hills under forests. The present forest cover of 31.05% of the total geographical area of the Indian Himalayan states is way behind the target set by NFP-1988. But to reach the target set by NFP, the area under forest change due to direct and indirect causes. Climate change too has its impact on Himalayan forests resulting in change in forest community structures. Only strategy is to ensure that forests of Himalayan states are not further degraded. Therefore, urgent need is to utilize the forests in a sustainable manner with focus on minimum depletion. Union government and the respective state governments must lay special emphasis to mitigate all the threats that result in depletion of forest resources through multi-pronged, long-term and integrated approaches, so that Himalayan forests continue to benefit mankind for the present as well as future generations.

Studies on sprouting and survival of different exotic mulberry (Morus Spp.) accessions
Authors: Tikader A. , Kamble C.
Published: March 2023

Seventeen exotic mulberry germplasm accessions were evaluated for propagation traits for two seasons to assess their genetic potential in tropical dry climate. The sprouting percentage after 30 days was observed maximum in M. rotundiloba (88.44%) followed by Kenmochi (87.79%), Shrim-2 (86.57%) and minimum in Fernodias (61.90%). Maximum survival percentage after 90 days followed the same trend as sprouting. The trend of survival percentage of saplings gradually decreases as the age of the saplings increased may be due to environmental influence. The selection of mulberry accession for commercial exploitation, survival is considered one of the important criteria as it is propagated through vegetative means.

Authors: Sambath S. , Joshi K. , Krishnamurthy R.
Published: March 2023

Efficacy of three varietal toxin of Bacillus thringiensis, viz., var. thuringiensis and its exotoxin, var. dendrolimus endotoxin, var. kurstaki endotoxin and their commercial formulation of Dipel 8, were investigated against the fifth instar larvae of Spirama retorta Cram. The results showed that this insect was highly susceptible to B.t., irrespective of toxin. Larval morality started only after three days and maximum larval mortality was obtained after three days of continuous feeding of B.t. sprayed young leaves. Among the tested varietal toxins B.t. var. kurstaki endotoxin proved to be highly effective at 1.5% of spray.
