La gestione dei pazienti nel periodo post-operatorio: obiettivi, requisiti e vantaggi delle Recovery Room e Post - Anesthesia Care Unit
Authors: Imbriaco Guglielmo
Published: June 2023

Background: il percorso post-operatorio dei pazienti con elevato rischio anestesiologico sottoposti a interventi chirurgici complessi richiede un periodo di osservazione in unâ€™area che consenta un idoneo livello assistenziale e di monitoraggio, con lâ€™obiettivo di ridurre le complicanze e di evitare ricoveri inappropriati nei reparti di terapia intensiva. Le Recovery Room (RR) e le Post Anaesthesia Care Unit (PACU) sono descritte come un ambiente idoneo allâ€™assistenza e al trattamento del paziente che Ã¨ stato sottoposto ad un intervento chirurgico in regime ordinario o day surgery, fino al recupero delle funzioni vitali o della coscienza. Obiettivo: descrivere i vantaggi, gli strumenti, i requisiti strutturali e le dotazioni di personale necessarie per lâ€™allestimento di un servizio di assistenza post-anestesia, sulla base delle raccomandazioni nazionali e internazionali. Discussione: lâ€™implementazione di un servizio dedicato allâ€™assistenza nellâ€™immediato post-operatorio, con idonee dotazioni strutturali e di personale, consente di gestire le complicanze piÃ¹ frequenti, come la nausea e il vomito, e di garantire in sicurezza la dimissione dei pazienti. Conclusione: lâ€™evoluzione dei servizi di RR, da attivitÃ  limitate alle ore diurne e nei giorni feriali a supporto del blocco operatorio e dedicate prevalentemente alla fase di risveglio, verso una tipologia di servizio concettualmente piÃ¹ estensiva come le PACU, consente di garantire assistenza dopo un intervento chirurgico al di fuori delle terapie intensive.
Propagation of chaos in mean field networks of FitzHugh-Nagumo neurons
Authors: Colombani Laetitia , Bris Pierre Le
Published: June 2023

In this article, we are interested in the behavior of a fully connected
network of $N$ neurons, where $N$ tends to infinity. We assume that the neurons
follow the stochastic FitzHugh-Nagumo model, whose specificity is the
non-linearity with a cubic term. We prove a result of uniform in time
propagation of chaos of this model in a mean-field framework. We also exhibit
explicit bounds. We use a coupling method initially suggested by A. Eberle
(arXiv:1305.1233), and recently extended in (1805.11387), known as the
reflection coupling. We simultaneously construct a solution of the $N$-particle
system and $N$ independent copies of the non-linear McKean-Vlasov limit in such
a way that, considering an appropriate semi-metric that takes into account the
various possible behaviors of the processes, the two solutions tend to get
closer together as $N$ increases, uniformly in time. The reflection coupling
allows us to deal with the non-convexity of the underlying potential in the
dynamics of the quantities defining our network, and show independence at the
limit for the system in mean field interaction with sufficiently small
Lipschitz continuous interactions.
Spectral Attributes in Onshore Fuba Field Niger-Delta, Nigeria, Using 3-D Seismic Time-lapse Data
Authors: U. Ochoma
Published: June 2023

Spectral attributes in Onshore Fuba Field Niger Delta, Nigeria, are here presented, using 3D seismic time-lapse data. The FUBA Field lies on latitudes 40 50’58’’- 4 0 55’19’’N and longitudes 60 18’41’’- 6 0 26’41’’E with aerial extent of 840km2 . The base (1997) and the monitor (2009) seismic surveys resulted in a 4D response difference. The Base and Monitor data have a root-mean-square repeatability ratio (RRR) of 0.38 implying a very good repeatability when considering the acquisition, processing and environmental noises. Data processing and interpretation were carried out using Petrel software. Reservoir pressure decline rate of 0.062psi/day resulted in production decline rate of 1192.21bbl/day. Structural interpretation of seismic data reveals a highly faulted field. Two distinct horizons were mapped. Fault and horizon interpretation shows closures that are collapsed crestal structures bounded by two major faults. All the interpreted faults are normal synthetic and antithetic faults which are common in the Niger Delta basin. The depth structure maps reveal anticlinal faults. Reservoirs are found at a shallower depth from 6500 to 7500 ft and at a deeper depth ranging from 11500 to 13000 ft. The variance values range from 0.0 to 1.0. The Variance edge analysis was used to delineate the prominent and subtle faults in the area. The results of spectral decomposition at the different frequencies indicates areas of low frequency and high amplitude associated with known hydrocarbon zones, meandering channels, lobes and the presence of small scale faults in the field. The results of the work will help in the recovery of more hydrocarbon as by-passed zones and subtle structures are revealed in the area of study.

Aging Perception and Life Satisfaction in Older Adults
Authors: KALINKARA Velittin
Published: June 2023

Considering that the population's rapid aging may affect society, it is essential to know how older adults perceive life satisfaction and aging. Life satisfaction plays a vital role in experiencing loss in aging. On the other hand, the perception of aging can serve as a measure for assessing an indivi-dual's satisfaction with aging and reflects the individual's adaptation to aging-related changes. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between the life satisfaction of the elderly popula-tion, the perception of aging, and the effect of demographic variables. The study conducted an online survey on a random representative sample of 273 participants aged 60 and over. "The Ageing Perceptions Scale" and "Satisfaction with Life Scale" were used in the study. Hierarchical multiple linear regression was used to reveal the crucial determinants of life satisfaction and the aging perception of the elderly. Correlation analysis was performed to determine the relations of the variables with each other. As a result of the research, the correlation between life satisfaction and old age perception was significant (r=.203 p<0.01). It is seen that the perception of old age increases as the age progresses, and life satisfaction is high in individuals with a heightened per-ception of old age. Life satisfaction and perception of old age are higher in individuals aged 75 and over (p<0.01). Understanding the concept of life satisfaction and perception of aging and its determinants may contribute to increasing the satisfaction of the elderly with aging and their adaptation to age-related changes.
Seismic Attributes for Enhanced Structural and Stratigraphic Interpretation in Onshore Fuba field, Niger Delta, Nigeria
Authors: U. Ochoma
Published: June 2023

Seismic attributes for enhanced structural and stratigraphic interpretation of Fuba Field, Onshore Niger Delta, Nigeria using Well-log and 3D Seismic data are here presented. Well-to-Seismic ties, faults and horizon mapping, time-surface generation, depth conversion and seismic attributes generation were carried out using Petrel software. The structural interpretation of seismic data reveal highly synthetic and antithetic faults which are in line with faults trends identified in the Niger Delta. Of the 29 interpreted faults, only synthetic and antithetic faults are regional, running from the top to bottom across the field. These faults play significant roles in trap formation at the upper, middle and lower sections of the field. Two distinct horizons were mapped. Fault and horizon interpretation reveal closures which are collapsed crestal structures bounded by these two major faults. The depth structure maps reveal anticlinal faults. Reservoirs are found at a shallower depth from 6500 to 7500ft and at a deeper depth ranging from 11500 to 13000ft. The synthetic and antithetic faults act as good traps for the hydrocarbon accumulation in the study area. The variance and chaos values range from 0.0 to 1.0. The dip magnitude and azimuth values range from 0 to 90 degrees and 0 to 360 degrees. The variance edge, chaos, dip magnitude and azimuth analysis were used to delineate the prominent and subtle faults in the area. The results of spectral decomposition at a frequency of 12-35Hz indicates areas of low frequency and high amplitude associated with known hydrocarbon zones, the presence of channels, lobes and small scale faults in the field. The result of the seismic attribute analysis has shown that the Fuba field has good hydrocarbon prospects.

Authors: Halder Amit , Ara Khandaker Most. Rowshan , Scholastica Gomes Antora , Tanshen Md. Riyad , Rahman Md. Anas
Published: June 2023

This paper describes a unique study that uses multiple FIR adaptive filter algorithms to denoise adult electrocardiogram (ECG) data. The study looks at how power line interference, external electromagnetic fields, random body motions, and breathing impact ECG measurement accuracy. The article takes a fresh look at Savitzky-Golay filtering techniques by implementing and evaluating them inside the FIR adaptive filter architecture. Matlab is used to evaluate the performance of the Affine projection FIR adaptive filter (AP), Direct-form Normalized least-mean-square FIR adaptive filter (NLMS), and Sliding-window Recursive least-squares FIR adaptive filter (SWRLS). The results show how different strategies compare in terms of performance and their influence on recorded waveform quality. The study extends to our understanding of the efficiency of FIR adaptive filter algorithms in decreasing ECG signal noise and helps us better understand their potential uses in ECG signal processing. Based on reliable ECG data, the research findings assist the development of new approaches for diagnosing aberrant cardiac rhythms and examining the origins of chest discomfort. The originality of this work comes in its thorough assessment, comparison, and unique use of Savitzky-Golay filtering techniques inside FIR adaptive filter algorithms, which contributes to the area of ECG signal denoising. According to a comparative investigation, the SWRLS FIR adaptive filter method improves ECG signal denoising by 91.53% noise reduction.

Published: June 2023

A Significant proportion of rural households lacked access to improved and safe drinking water due to chemical and microbial contamination. Point-of-use (POU) water filters made from cheap, locally available ceramic materials and additives can achieve quality water parameters. Ceramic water filters were prepared by combining clay minerals with additives. Sawdust was used as a burnout material to achieve porosity and enhance the filtration rate. Silver nitrate, charcoal, periwinkle shell, snail shell, and biomass of Bacillus Subtilis were added in different ratios. The filter was formulated with charcoal, sawdust, snail shell, and periwinkle shell to remove microbes and treat heavy metals through the adsorption process. The filters were molded and fired in a temperature range of (700oC - 900oC). Characterization of the clay mineral, physiochemical and Microbial tests were conducted on the ceramic and water. Antimicrobial test was carried out on the biomass of Bacillus subtilis. Mineralogical (XRD) and elemental analysis of the clay, snail, and periwinkle shells showed high percentage composition of serpentine (a clay crystal), plagioclase, a mixture of feldspar minerals albite (sodium aluminosilicate - NaAlSi3O8), anorthite calcium aluminosilicate- CaAl2Si2O8) and Calcium (70-97 %composition) respectively. The results showed a greater proportion of silica in the clay, suggesting the material is silicate. Filtration rate was estimated at 1.125 L/hr. The result showed the filter has 96.72%, 99.26%, and 66.67% colony removal efficiency for heterotrophic bacteria, coliform, and fungi respectively. The filter showed about 70% - 96% efficiency for the treatment of physiochemical parameters in wastewater.
Hierarchical Metamodel of Communication in the Experience of Resacralization of Spiritual Practics
Authors: Bakumenko Gennady V. , Biryukov Igor L. , Scherbak Nina F. , Luginina Anna G.
Published: June 2023

This article highlights the view of conceptual advertising as a process of Resacralization of Spiritual Practices (RSP). To analyze the empirical material, the authors propose using a Hierarchical Metamodel of Communication.

In the context of the growth of intangible production, both the advertised product and the advertising product itself are undergoing transformation. To study the patterns of dissemination of ideas (non-material products of culture) based on a Hierarchical Metamodel of Communication, RSP is considered as a Method of Conceptual Advertising (MCA). The authors illustrate this through the values and principles of the Russian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (ROC), introducing the concept of Orthodox Resacralization of Spiritual Practices (ORSP). The paper analyzes a small amount of empirical material, — the minimum necessary to demonstrate the validity of the proposed theoretical model. The author’s interdisciplinary approach is based on subordinating qualitative methods of the sociology of culture and analytical and semiotic methods to general scientific methods of comparison and typology. As a result, the article reveals the prospects for methodological enrichment of the theory of advertising and PR, as well as the pragmatic metamodel of communication of the relational theory of communication.

The authors propose uniting the efforts of theorists and practitioners of advertising and PR, experts in the fields of social and intercultural communication, as well as theologians and researchers of religions, to analyze the applicability of the proposed theoretical model in various cultural locations.
Film, Propaganda, and the “New Nigeria” National Philosophy
Authors: Obong Ubong Andem , Ukpabio Eme Iniobong , Etifit Samuel Asukwo
Published: June 2023

This qualitative research examined the utility of film for political propaganda purposes and behavioral change objectives. It critically assesses how film, as a communication medium, has been optimized in constructing a national rebirth philosophy tagged “New Nigeria” political constructs. The objectives of the study were to demystify the political propaganda strategies adopted by the filmmakers in propagating the “new Nigeria” national philosophy and to unearth the latent and manifest socio-political propaganda themes embedded in the film that reinforce the ‘new Nigeria’ political philosophy.

In ascertaining the potentials of film in projecting propagandists’ ideologies, the film “If I am President” (Bright Obasi, 2018) was thematically deconstructed using the qualitative content analysis research design. The “New Nigeria” political constructs content-analyzed were placed into discourse paradigms, and discussions were attempted using the critical discourse analytical method.

A deconstruction of the latent socio-political themes in the film revealed the filmmakers’ subtle utilisation of mental conditioning, mental provocativeness, ‘scapegoatism’, psycho-emotional articulation, appeal to socio-political action, and entertainment-education political propaganda strategies in projecting the “New Nigeria” national philosophy for social action through behavior change.

The dominant “New Nigeria” political philosophies expressed in the film included, but were not limited to, leanings suggesting national rebirth, nation-building, socio-political egalitarianism, youth activism, digitization of national politics, techno-democracy, zero tolerance for corruption, and tolerance across racial, religious, tribal, ethnic, and political lines. These philosophies are the ideals suggested in the film as cardinal constructs and conditions for the rebirth of a new nation, thus, “New Nigeria”.

Zika virus (ZIKV) is an emerging arbovirus which is endemic in several countries. ZIKV waspreviously reported to cause sporadic infections with subclinical or mild illness until 2015 whenZIKV spread throughout the America. Although first human case of ZIKV was detected in 1954,it has recently gained attention due to its association with several neurological defects innewborns if the mother is infected with ZIKV during pregnancy. The Zika virus is primarilytransmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito. But in recent times, there are evidence ofnon-vector transmission such as sexual transmission, mother to fetus transmission (Verticaltransmission), blood transfusion, and infectious urine transmission. Till date, there is no antiviraldrug for treatment of Zika virus infection. The vaccines to prevent infection of Zika virus are stillunder development.This review summarizes the history, ZIKV infection during pregnancy, modesof transmission, clinical symptoms, vaccine development, and antiviral drug advancement

Introduction: Feminicide is considered the maximum expression of gender violence. Brazil is among the countries with the highest rate of feminicide in the world. Between 2001 and 2011, more than 50,000 feminicide were recorded in Brazil, an average of 5,000 cases per year. Objective: To analyze the characteristics and evolution of feminicide rates in Brazil. Method: Ecological study of temporal series with secondary data obtained from the Mortality Information System of the Ministry of Health. We estimate feminicide rates for 2015-2019. The cases of feminicide were analyzed for the following outcomes: type of instrument used by the aggressor, age and race of the woman, and events that preceded feminicide. All analyzes were performed using the Stata 15.1 statistical software. Study is exempt from authorization from the Research Ethics Committee according to resolution 510/2016 of the National Health Council. Results: The absolute number of femicides increased between 2015 and 2019, as well as their participation among the external causes of death of women. We observed probable underreporting of feminicide of transsexual and lesbian women, with 76 cases reported between 2014 and 2017. In 2019, we observed that 60.6% of assaults against women occur in the victim's home, with 36.0% of cases on weekends. The instruments of aggression involved firearms (50.0%), piercing or blunt or blunt instruments (34.0%), and hanging or suffocation (6.0%). Physical abuse, sexual violence, neglect, abandonment, mental cruelty and torture were identified in 14.0% of deaths. Conclusion: Feminicide rates in Brazil are increasing, with probable underreporting of cases among black, transsexual and lesbian women.

Published: June 2023

Success of any innovation in the field of education directly associated with learners’ perceptions about that. Communicative Language Teaching is an innovation and this article attempts to discover learners’ attitude and perceptions regarding this. This study will be very useful in Pakistan where implementation of CLT is in hot discussion and mostly researchers worked on the perceptions and attitude of teachers. This study is quantitative in nature. Data was collected from students through questionnaire that was adapted from the study of Sandra J.Savignon and Chaochang Wang (2003). The goal of the study is to explore: what reputation Grammar Translation Method and Communicative Language Teaching are enjoying, what new is introduced to fit CLT in Pakistani educational system, whether learners have positive attitude towards communication based activities or not, what are the problems that challenge the implementation of CLT in classrooms, what perceptions do students have towards communication based activities, which classroom activities are serious threat in meeting the goal of communicative ability. Findings show that teachers are aware about the importance of CLT and learners have positive attitude and perception towards communication based activities. Functional English and English Comprehension is taught that resulted learners can understand classic literature and English movies as well. There is a fair possibility of adopting CLT but their prolonged attachment with Grammar Translation Method, examination system, emphasis on accuracy, preference of mother tongue are the hindrances that blur the concept of implementation of CLT in Pakistan’ classrooms.

Pestivirusin pigs: a systematic review and occurrence in the micro-region of Ponte Nova, Brazil
Authors:   , Uzoka Ugonna Henry
Published: June 2023

Pestiviruses are worldwide in distribution, causing a significant economic loss in the livestock industry. Atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV) affects piglets and causes high mortality as a result of the neurological signs that make them unable to suckle. Bovine Viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is another pestivirus that affects pigs and has cattle as the major host and mixed farming of both species can lead to transmission of the disease leading to severe economic loss and difficulty in diagnosis of classical swine fever. Thus, the first study comprises a systematic review of the prevalence of APPV in pigs in the world. In the systematic review, we collectedas many relevant citations as possible regarding different countries that have reported the prevalence of APPV from 2015 to 2022. From the selected articles, data from the year of sample collection, the diagnostic technique, the samples used, the animal stage sampled, and the clinical signs were extracted. This systematic review found that real-time RT-PCR was used most often to detect the APPV genome in serum and/or tissue samples, also APPV is linked to CT in piglets. We also found that APPV infection can occur in herds with no clinicaldisease and that boars may play a critical role in APPV epidemiology. The review suggests that researchers in different countries study healthy pigs, CT piglets, and boars to find out the prevalence of APPV which will enhance the epidemiology survey. The second study on the occurrence and distribution of antibodies against BVDV-1 and BVDV-2 using a viral neutralization test in nine swine farms in the micro-region of Ponte Nova, Minas Gerais State,Brazil to be informed on its prevalence in sows and finished pigs. Four hundred serum samples from sows and finished pigs (200 each) were collected from nine farms in six municipalities; Jequeri, Rio Casca, Urucania, Ponte Nova, Teixeras, and Coimbra all in the microregion of Ponte Nova revealed low antibody titers (between 2 - 3.32 in log2). A BVDV prevalence of 4.75% was recorded and a herd prevalence of 44.4%. BVDV-1 had a prevalence of 0.25% and BVDV-2 4.5%. No prevalence was recorded in the farms from Rio Casca and Ponte Nova. Finished pigs recording more prevalence. These positive regions should be under close observation by the veterinary inspection services department as the presence of BVDVantibodies in swine serum can lead to false positive results of classical swine fever because of serological cross-reaction which can hamper CSF eradication programs. Keywords: Bovine viral diarrhea virus. Revalence. Atypical porcine pestivirus. Virus. Congenital tremor. Swine.
La possession démoniaque de Saül
Authors: Margel Serge
Published: June 2023

Cet article propose d’examiner la question de l’exorcisme et des possessions démoniaques à partir d’une lecture du Malleus maleficarum. Conçu comme un manuel à l’usage des Inquisiteurs, le Malleus a développé une réflexion sur l’efficacité thérapeutique de l’exorcisme, en partant de l’épisode biblique, en 1 S 16,14-23, sur la possession du roi Saül et sa guérison par la cithare de David. L’hypothèse du Malleus affirme que le démon ne peut pas formellement modifier l’âme des sujets, mais seulement la plonger dans l’illusion, ou l’altérer en agissant sur sa prédisposition passive à la démence. La fonction thérapeutique de l’exorcisme consiste donc à réduire le plus possible ce terrain affectif prédisposant. De la même manière que la cithare de David apaise l’âme tourmentée de Saül, de même la parole de l’exorciste convoque le démon, le contraint de cesser son action maléfique et le chasse hors du corps et de l’âme du possédé, « de telle manière qu’il ne revienne plus ».
Investigating the Impact of Relative Cost on Motivation and Performance in Mathematics among BGCSE Students: A Qualitative Perspective
Authors: Mollowakgotla Mpho
Published: June 2023

Purpose: This study investigated the impact of ‘relative cost’, a component of the Expectancy-Value Theory, on the performance of Botswana General Certificate of Secondary Education (BGCSE) mathematics. It also investigated the impact of social influences (parents, teachers, and peers) on students' mathematics perceptions.

Methodology: In this qualitative research study, focus groups were conducted with a purposive sample of 40 students selected based on their performance from 10 randomly sampled secondary schools. The primary aim was to gain a comprehensive understanding of the students' experiences and perspectives.

Findings: The results indicate that when engaging with mathematics, students perceive costs in the form of effort, stress, loss of time, and loss of preferable alternatives. Additionally, the study shows that teachers come in third after parents and peers in terms of influence on students' mathematics perceptions.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Based on these findings, it is suggested that strategies be developed to mitigate these perceived costs and assist students in dealing with mathematics more effectively. This may include techniques for stress management, time management, or alternative teaching methods that make learning mathematics more pleasurable and less time-consuming.

Computed Tomography Cardiac Veins Evaluation in Congenital Transposition of Great Vessels Prior to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (Crt)
Authors: V Groudeva , Chilingirova N  , Nedevska M  , Iovev S
Published: June 2023

Adult patients with transposition of great vessels are often candidates for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Cardiac vein anatomy is of crucial importance in planning optimal CRT therapy. Cardiac veins are very variable. In congenitally corrected transposition of great vessels coronary arteries have an unusual course but coronary veins although much less studied have much more varieties. In such cases cardiac computed tomography (CT) might offer important information prior to electrophysiological procedures. The objective of this study is to present a series of patients with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) both congenitally corrected TGA and D TGA in which imaging was used to help planning placement of leads for CRT. CT findings are thoroughly described as well as the consequent interventional procedure.
Historicidade dos memes, automatização da memória, comicidade
Authors: Godoi Rodrigo Tavares
Published: June 2023

Historicidade e memória possuem relação intrínseca nesta discussão a partir dos memes e da automatização. Em relação aos memes, sua apreensão oscila entre metáfora genética e memética (da internet) incluindo a comicidade como classe complementar dos memes, considerando o contexto brasileiro. Na aproximação entre meme e comicidade, concentra-se a problemática da automatização da memória sob tensão da massa-disposição e interação cibernética. Nessa dimensão tensionada da automatização existe afastamento do conceito de distância (histórica), distinção entre ambivalência e complementaridade por atestar uma historicidade memizada sob a perspectiva da sistemática da história. Para o termo historicidade memizada, a ideia é apreender significações do histórico não limitado às práticas analíticas da história em contexto distópico. Atualmente, os conceitos de distância (histórica) inerente a analítica da experiência da historicidade e massa-disposição de Aleida Assmann se tornam insuficientes para a interpretação da memória porque há defesa de pares antitéticos e não ambivalência de complementaridade entre experiência de historicização e retorno subjetivo.
meio-fio de Simão Bacamarte
Authors: Ribeiro Nunes Gabriela
Published: June 2023

A novela O Alienista, de Machado de Assis, possui uma vasta fortuna crítica que se propõe a estudar a presença da loucura na narrativa, além de seu pano de fundo histórico. Muitos desses estudos veem a personagem principal, Simão Bacamarte, como um cientista ou caricatura da figura científica. Entretanto, o presente artigo pretende ir de encontro a essa visão, defendendo a hipótese de que o médico, assim que cede à loucura já no princípio da narrativa, apenas é um alienado com pretensão de alienista, não podendo ser, assim, um representante da Ciência da época. Para isso, será feito um estudo atento das figuras taxadas como loucas pelo Doutor Bacarmarte.
Cascas de bétula, lascas de tempo
Authors: Machado Gonçalves Aline
Published: June 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é utilizar as cascas de bétula arrancadas por Georges Didi-Huberman em sua visita à Auschwitz como metáfora para as memórias de Lili Jaffe, uma sobrevivente dos campos de concentração, a partir de seu diário e dos comentários feitos por sua filha, Noemi Jaffe a respeito das lembranças e os esquecimentos da mãe. As cascas de bétula têm dois lados, sendo um mais próximo da árvore, a parte arrancada que permanece cor-de-rosa, representando uma ferida em aberto, e o outro a parte da casca que serve de suporte de escrita, representando a necessidade de alguns sobreviventes de dar o seu testemunho sobre o que aconteceu com eles.
Consciência histórica e representações literárias
Authors: Mathias Dionei
Published: June 2023

Este artigo tem como propósito discutir a intersecção entre estudos literários e consciência histórica. Na primeira seção, discute alguns aspectos do conceito de consciência histórica, baseando-se num diálogo interdisciplinar com outras áreas de conhecimento e tentando verificar de que modo essas conceituações podem ser profícuas para os estudos literários. Na segunda parte, ilustra a discussão teórica, analisando a representação da consciência histórica no romance Jacob beschließt zu lieben de Catalin Dorian Florescu. Nas conclusões, diferencia três esferas de análise: a representação no nível da realidade ficcional, na esfera da mediação de informações e no posicionamento da voz autoral em diálogo com o espaço de sua produção estética. Por fim, chama a atenção para a necessidade de representações periféricas que permitam a ampliação do escopo de textos que embasam a formação de consciência histórica.
Traição, oportunismo e rebeldia
Authors: Berno Kölln Lucas André
Published: June 2023

Esse artigo se propõe a fazer uma leitura historiográfica da peça Calabar – O elogio da traição de Chico Buarque e Ruy Guerra, escrita entre 1972-1973, dando especial atenção aos variadores sentidos políticos atribuídos à traição. Através de recursos dramatúrgicos, da didascália, e do retrato dos diversos personagens, a traição de Calabar é colocada em perspectiva no texto da peça, criando circunstâncias que permitem um tratamento ambíguo de suas ações, e que levam, eventualmente, a uma certa inversão de sinal quanto ao seu significado político: de traidor a herói. Ao mesmo tempo, essa inversão altera o significado das ações dos demais personagens, que são pouco a pouco revelados sujeitos conformados e, mesmo, oportunistas. A proposta do artigo é a de pensar como essas escolhas estéticas e políticas foram historicamente calcadas na experiência de viver sob a ditadura militar brasileira, e deliberadamente transformadas em anacronismo, de modo a sugerir analogias tanto sobre os opositores do regime militar de então, quanto aos seus apoiadores mais discretos.
Teatro e documento histórico:
Authors: Arantes Mariana de Oliveira
Published: June 2023

O artigo analisa a obra Prova de fogo, de Consuelo de Castro, sob o viés do documento histórico. A obra teatral por vezes esquecida pela crítica traz à tona o aspecto factual da ocupação da Faculdade de Filosofia na USP pelo movimento estudantil no ano de 1968. Neste ato de defesa às ações democráticas, Castro empreende uma estrutura ficcional, envolvendo o leitor na fábula, mas explicitando também critérios históricos de repressão e de violência que dizem respeito ao momento social, econômico e político do Brasil no final da década de 1960. A análise literária da peça de Consuelo de Castro está, portanto, em articulação com a crítica teatral brasileira a partir de autores como Sábato Magaldi (1997), Elza Cunha de Vincenzo (1992) e Yan Michalski (1989).
Roma Hukukunda Kölelikle İlgili Kanunlar Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: KOÇAK Talat
Published: June 2023

Roma hukuku, dünya hukuk sistemleri içerisinde, etkisini günümüzde de hissettiren önemli bir hukuk ekolüdür. İlk Çağ halklarında var olan köleci sistem ilk devirlerden itibaren Roma ve Doğu Roma toplumlarında da kendine yer bulmuştur. Bu bağlamda Roma hukuku külliyatında kölelikle ilgili kanunlar epeyi bir yer tutmaktadır. Özellikle Codex Theodosianus, Corpus Iuris Civilis ve Ecloga’da Roma ve Doğu Roma’da köleci sistemin işleyişi hakkında bilgiler bulmak mümkündür. Hristiyanlığın kabulünden sonra bazı yeni azat etme yöntemleri Roma hukuk külliyatında yer bulsa da köleci sistemde bir değişiklik olmamıştır. Makalede kronolojik olarak Geç Antik Çağ’da, Roma ve Doğu Roma hukukunda kölelikle ilgili kanunların geçirdiği değişim ve dönüşüm üzerinde duracağız.
İngilizce Yazının İlk Kadın Yazarı Norwich’li Julian ve Görülerinin Ortaçağ İngiliz Yazınındaki Yeri
Authors: HORZUM Şafak
Published: June 2023

Bu makale, on dördüncü yüzyılın sonları ve on beşinci yüzyılın başlarında yaşamış ve bir kadın yazar olarak İngiliz yazınında ilk edebî eseri vermiş Norwichli Julian’ı (Julian of Norwich) ve Revelations of Divine Love (İlahi Aşkın Vahiyleri) eserini, Ortaçağ İngiliz toplumunun tefekkür ve kadın anlayışı çerçevesinde incelemektedir. Resmi eğitim almamış bir kadın olan Julian’ın Hıristiyanlık inancıyla bağdaşan görüleri aracılığıyla kaleme aldırdığı eserinin iki versiyonu bulunmakta olup her iki versiyon kıyaslandığında, yazarın zaman içerisinde değişen ve gelişen edebî üslubu ile karşılaşılmaktadır. Makalede, yazarın doğal ve sohbetvari üslubu, İngilizce edebiyatın ilk kadın yazarının, kendi dönemindeki erkek yazarlardan ayrıldığı nokta olarak tartışılmaktadır. Buna istinaden, Julian’ı Norwich’teki bir manastırda münzevi hayat sürmeye iten ve bir ruhban otoritesi olmasını sağlayan en önemli özellik, eserinde bahsettiği ilahi görüler içerisinde Hıristiyanlık inancındaki Tanrı–İsa birleşimini Ortaçağ’daki eril tasavvurlardan arındırması ve bu bileşik ilahi figürü yüce anne karakteri ile yeniden inşa etmesidir. Bu sebeple, bu çalışma, Norwichli Julian’ı İngilizcede eser vermiş ilk kadın yazar olarak tanıttıktan sonra, Revelations of Divine Love eserinde kullandığı üslubu ve bu eserindeki ilahi figürleri annelik teması altında kadın özelliklerle nasıl bezediğini irdeleyecek ve bu eserindeki biçemini çağdaşı olan erkek yazarların üslubuyla kıyaslayarak verecektir.
Türkiye Üzerinde Yoksullaştıran Büyüme Hipotezinin Analizi: 1970-2020

İhracata dayalı büyüme modeli izleyen ülkelerin dış ticaret hadlerinde bozulmalar meydana gelebilmektedir. Dış ticaret hadlerinin bozulması, zamanla ihracat gelirlerinin düşmesine ve toplumun refah düzeyinin düşmesine sebep olabilmektedir. Literatürde bu kavram “Yoksullaştıran Büyüme” olarak ele alınmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’nin 50 yıllık dış ticaret verilerini inceleyerek dış ticaret açığı, ithalat ve dış ticaret hadleri arasında nasıl bir ilişki olduğunu görmektir. Çalışmada 1970-2020 yılları arasındaki dönem yoksullaştıran büyüme çerçevesinde araştırılmıştır. Yapılan ekonometrik analizde ihracat, dış ticaret hadleri ve dış ticaret açığı değişkenleri kullanılmıştır. Söz konusu dönemde yaşanan ekonomik krizler, politika değişiklikleri, yapısal farklılıklar göz önüne alınarak yapısal kırılmalı modeller ele alınmıştır. Bu bağlamda, Türkiye’nin 50 yıllık dış ticaret performansının yoksullaştıran büyüme üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda, Türkiye ekonomisi için ihracat artışlarının, dış ticaret hadlerini aşağı çekerek dış ticaret açığını arttırdığı anlaşılmaktadır. Bu sonuç Türkiye’de yoksullaştıran büyüme hipotezinin geçerli olduğu konusunda önemli bir kanıt olarak değerlendirilebilir. Çalışmada dış ticaret hadlerinde bozulmalar olduğu, dolayısıyla Türkiye özelinde yoksullaştıran büyümenin varlığı seçili dönem aralığında geçerli olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
