DANÇA E POLÍTICA NA ENCRUZILHADA FLORESTA-FAVELA
Authors: Ledo Hugo César da Silva , Gonçalves Angelita Alves
Published: June 2021

O presente artigo pretende refletir sobre a linguagem da dança como fenômeno social, estabelecendo análises a partir da obra Para que o céu não caia, da Cia Lia Rodrigues, do Complexo de Favelas da Maré (RJ).  Inspirado na obra A queda do céu, de Davi Kopenawa e Bruce Albert, o espetáculo atua na transposição da encruzilhada de vulnerabilidades no eixo floresta-favela, para “segurar o céu” e não sucumbir às adversidades, situando a arte enquanto figuração da resistência. Assim, o presente trabalho busca estabelecer alguns diálogos teóricos com os conceitos de necropolítica (MBEMBE, 2018), poder simbólico (BOURDIEU, 1989), risco (BECK, 2011) e experiência (BONDIÁ, 2002), no sentido de compreender as aproximações entre arte e política em uma criação na dança.
A PANDEMIA E AS NOSSAS DESIGUALDADES DURADOURAS
Authors: Medeiros Rogério de Souza
Published: June 2021

O artigo é uma versão ligeiramente modificada da palestra proferida em 11 de agosto de 2020 no “Seminário Ciências Sociais em Debate: crise e crítica social em tempos de Covid-19”, promovido pelo Departamento de Ciências Sociais da UFPB. Ao final da palestra, o autor respondeu a perguntas, que foram lidas pela mediadora do evento, a professora Simone Brito (DCS/PPGS/UFPB). Na palestra, o autor buscou refletir sobre caminhos explorados pela sociologia para abordar a relação entre a pandemia e as desigualdades sociais. Nesse sentido, o autor procura construir uma interpretação sociológica a partir de alguns conceitos e abordagens presentes no campo de estudos sobre desigualdades sociais para defender o argumento acerca da existência de um paralelo forte entre a forma como os brasileiros toleram os altos índices de desigualdade presentes na história do país e a forma como temos normalizado alto número de vítimas fatais decorrente da pandemia de Covid-19.
O NEGRO NAS ARENAS DE REPRESENTAÇÕES: um paralelo entre o teatro e a museologia numa perspectiva afrocentrada
Authors: Araújo Filho José Joaquim de
Published: June 2021

O presente artigo apresenta algumas reflexões, numa perspectiva afrocentrada, acerca das similitudes e diferenças entre o Teatro e a Museologia como disciplinas acadêmicas, levando em consideração suas maiores arenas de representações que são o próprio teatro e o museu. Para tal, fazemos breve análises de suas origens, na tentativa de contextualizar seus fundamentos estruturantes; na sequência, buscamos compreender as representações dos negros no teatro e no museu contemporâneo. Finalizamos com exemplificações de uma peça e uma exposição na cidade de Salvador, Bahia, que projetam um protagonismo dos agentes negros como sujeitos de suas próprias histórias e não mais objetos delas. O texto revela, assim, as tensões e fricções presentes nessas arenas representacionais.
AIYÊ: dançar a vida em corpo búzio de carne
Authors: Ferreira Larissa
Published: June 2021

O presente ensaio visual debruça-se sobre Aiyê, um projeto de pesquisa em dança que coordenei. Realizado pelo Grupo de Pesquisa Corpografias, culminou no espetáculo de mesmo nome cujas imagens estão reunidas neste manifesto visual. A palavra Aiyê, de origem Yorùbá, pode ser entendida como “terra”, dimensão material da vida onde tudo tem asè. Parte-se, então, do desafio de pensar a vida desde a pluralidade das matrizes africanas e indígenas. Abarca as questões políticas e socioculturais imbricadas nesta discussão que perpassa as relações raciais e de gênero. Aiyê traz a beleza de um legado ancestral, mas também aciona as violências cotidianas que denunciam o racismo estrutural. Sendo um projeto gestado na Licenciatura em Dança do Instituto Federal de Brasília, faz coro à necessidade de cumprimento da leis 10.639 e 11.645, que incluem no currículo oficial da rede de ensino a obrigatoriedade das temáticas sobre história e cultura afro-brasileira e indígena.
MILITARES NO GOVERNO BOLSONARO: tutela à democracia brasileira?
Authors: Vasconcelos Filho Antonio Alves de
Published: June 2021

Este artigo visa analisar as motivações da forte participação política do Exército no governo Bolsonaro e sua tutela em relação à democracia brasileira entre os anos de 2013-2018, concretamente, como chegamos ao governo com o maior número de militares da história. Para tanto, necessário se faz um resgate histórico sobre a formação do Estado brasileiro e das atuais condições normativas que permitem que os militares ainda almejem ser o "poder moderador" da República. Em um primeiro momento, veremos como em vários momentos da vida política brasileira as Forças Militares foram sujeitos ativos das transformações sociais no Brasil. Em uma segunda parte, de forma crítica, utilizaremos conceitos desenvolvidos por Florestan Fernandes para compreendermos elementos fundantes da República. Finalmente, após esse resgate histórico e análise crítica da República, a partir de um estudo de caso da situação brasileira, veremos como no período recente escolhido, o papel do Exército é central para a crise institucional que vivenciamos, suas premissas e seus efeitos em relação à democracia brasileira. Concluiu-se que há uma tutela por parte do Exército para com a República, e que esse fenômeno dificulta a cultura democrática brasileira, e encontra raízes em nossa própria formação histórica.

FROM ‘LION FACE’ TO ‘BUTTERFLY ERUPTION’: ZOOMORPHIC METAPHORS AS MESSENGERS OF FACIAL ANOMALIES
Authors: Petrosyan Alina
Published: June 2021

Medicine contributes to every person’s health in terms of diagnosis, treatment or prevention of a disease. Hence, constructing the clinical picture and the diagnosis of a health condition and conveying complex technical information in a comprehensible language is of utmost importance. In this regard, medical professionals rely not only on Greco-Latin terms of Classical times, but also resort to metaphors to illuminate many facets of medical observations and clinical findings. These metaphors stem either from anthropomorphic or zoomorphic areas and act as primary interface between scientific thought and understanding. From this perspective, the present article examines the value of metaphor in medicine and through the employment of descriptive method, explores some of the most widespread zoomorphic metaphors, which denominate certain facial anomalies.

Published: June 2021

Abstract

Communication is a social phenomenon based on sharing information, ideas and attitudes. Maturity, experience, personal and social relationships that run more smoothly and become more meaningful, are developed, expanded and advanced through communication. Hence, the purpose of this paper based on case study methodology is to help students understand the principles of communication theory/study and put them into practice in life. The skills and techniques learned in the course are essential to effective communication in intrapersonal, interpersonal, small-group and public speaking and can be applied not only through studying the theoretical material but also through practical exercises, discussions and presentations that will enable to incorporate them into daily life and activity. As a result, students will learn to function in a more productive and assertive way in public and work environments and develop the newfound abilities to speak up effectively in other contexts.
“BURNT TO THE BONE” WITH LOVE, DAMNATION AND SIN: PHÆDRA AS THE SWINBURNIAN “FEMME DAMNÉE”
Authors: Ayvazyan Lilith
Published: June 2021

The Victorian poet Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837-1909) is famous for his uniquely “bizarre” female characters. His contemporary critics as well as many of the researchers who touched upon his work have interpreted his female characters to be “obsessive,” “masochistic,” and in some cases even “sadistic.” Phædra is one of his characters who suffered the most because of this misconception. Rarely referenced at all, she has been regarded as a one-dimensional “masochist” who lacks psychological and emotional depth and whose only driving force is her desire for death. However, a close reading of Swinburne’s short poem reveals Phædra’s innermost anxieties and places her in the narrative of the Swinburnian femme damnée inspired by Les Fleurs du Mal of the French poet Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867). Swinburne’s “Phædra” is remarkable in that it also serves as an exceptional representation of Sappho (c. 630 - c. 570 BC) in Victorian England. This paper highlights Swinburne’s aversion towards the Victorian mock-morality, as well as some of his life-long influences. Furthermore, this paper defines Phædra in a new light by considering the classical originals, Sappho’s and Baudelaire’s works, and even a twentieth-century retelling by the Russian poetess Marina Tsvetaeva (1892-1941).
A Physics-based Transient Simulation and Modeling Method for Wide-frequency Electrical Overstress Including ESD
Authors: Xu Ke , Chen Xing , Chen Zhenzhen
Published: June 2021

Circuits design that meets various IEC electrical overstress (EOS) standards is still a challenge, for that different kinds of EOS are at different frequency bands. In this paper, a physics-based transient simulation and modeling method is proposed, which can simulate wide-frequency EOS including electrostatic discharge (ESD) and AC characteristics. In this method, the physical model is used to characterize the nonlinear
semiconductor devices in the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD)-SPICE co-simulation. Moreover, the modeling and physical parameters extraction method of the ESD protect devices, the transient voltage suppressor diode, is demonstrated. Taking an EOS protection circuit for example, it is modeled and simulated by the proposed method. Moreover, the circuit is also simulated by the widely-used System-Efficient ESD Design (SEED) method, in which the TVS diode is modeled based on 100 ns Transmission Line Pulse (TLP) measurements. The experiments show that both this method and SEED
method can characterize the IEC system-level ESD behaviors well. However, the error of the SEED is about 219.2% at 10 MHz AC characteristics, but the maximum error of the proposed method is only 7.8%. Hence, compared with the widely-used SEED method, this method is more accurate when characterizing the EOS event during AC operation and switching.
A Second-Order Stabilized Control Volume Finite Element Method for Self-Heating Effects Simulation of Semiconductor Devices based on Triangular Elements
Authors: Yu Da-Miao , Pan Xiao-Min , Sheng Xin-Qing
Published: June 2021

A second-order control volume finite element method combined with the multiscale flux
approximation (CVFEM-MS) based on triangular elements is proposed to numerically investigate the self-heating effects of semiconductor devices. The multiscale fluxes are combined with a selected set of second-order vector basis functions to stabilize the discretization of carrier continuity equations with respect to triangular elements. Numerical results reveal that the proposed method is robust and accurate, even on the mesh of low-quality, where the detrimental impacts caused by the severe self-heating on the terminal currents can be obviously observed for a bipolar transistor model.

Authors: Cheng Yi-Yuan , Su Ming-Yang , Hai Tao , Hui Ming , Li Bao-lei , Xia Ling
Published: June 2021

Halbach array magnets are widely used in portable nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) devices that the homogeneity of the magnetic field generated by the array affects the imaging quality. In this paper, we propose some improvements to the construction of the
Halbach magnets to enhance magnetic field uniformity. Using a Halbach array model comprising 16 magnets, all the calculations are based on 3D finite element method (FEM) analysis and optimized using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. Comparisons of the results are shown to support the observations that the optimized and improved constructions can generate a more homogeneous magnetic field.

Published: June 2021

In this paper, we propose a novel design of low-profile fractal chipless tags with unique specific electromagnetic responses. The tags are designed using cellular automata (Game of Life) technique to ensure the randomness of the generated fractal tags. The tags are simulated in CST Microwave Studio for the frequency range of 2 to 10 GHz. The tags are realized on FR4 substrate and their radar cross-section (RCS) characteristics are analyzed for the nine different tags for the three different polarizations (horizontal, vertical, and oblique). Each tag shows a unique signature resonance response. The obtained results of coding capacity (16-20 bits), coding spatial capacity (1-1.25 bits/cm2), coding spectral capacity (2.15-2.9 bits/GHz), and coding density (0.15-0.18 bits/GHz x cm2) of realized tags are very good. The presented tags could be used for the development of secure RFID systems.

March 2021, a 12-month-old infant was brought to the HPS East Zone Little Jonh, in the capital of the State of Amazonas, Brazil, where she was admitted with fever, vomiting, intense prostration, little acceptance of breast milk, difficulty in walking, associated with left-facing strabismus and neck stiffness. At admission, the main author performed a lumbar puncture, and serological tests on the CSF to identify the causative agent were referred to a reference laboratory, which suggested that they be referred to the Central Laboratory - LACEN for suspecting the presence of agent Angionsytrongylis Canyonensis. Although, the identification of the causative agent is difficult to be detected and confirmed, this case report shows us the importance of the clinical laboratory in the identification of Eosinophilic Meningitis. The sub-detection of eosinophils in the CSF helps to underestimate the prevalence of eosinophilic meningitis. Thus, CSF analysis, slide preparation, sediment staining, as well as knowledge about the importance of adequate leukocyte differentiation in CSF are extremely important, to properly conduct the final diagnosis of the disease and prevent possible endemicity. The knowledge of this condition and early detection allows an effective therapy and improvement of public health actions. ? ?,

Authors:   Polidisciplinary Faculty of Sidi Bennour, Chouaib Doukkali University, El Jadida, Morocco, Abdelali EZZIADI
Published: June 2021

Purpose: The Building and Public Works sector is experiencing remarkable growth due to the increase in infrastructure needs. Because it is one of the most waste-generating sectors. This growth will explode in the coming years, especially with a linear economy model. Thus, the transition to a circular economic model is necessary and financial communication practices must be aligned with it. Under this objective, this paper seeks to explore the financial communication practices of listed companies in terms of circular economy. Design/Methodology/Approach: The annual reports of seven (7) Moroccan construction companies listed on the Casablanca Stock Exchange were analyzed and discussed in the light of theoretically approved circularity indicators. Findings: The content disseminated by the listed construction companies through their annual reports in relation to the circular economy is often limited to the description of broader actions. Some listed companies communicate numerical indicators particularly in relation to energy and water consumption, recycling and recovery of waste, substitution of natural resources by alternative materials. Practical implications: This paper is a benchmarking tool for listed and unlisted companies in the construction sector, with the aim of improving the quality of the indicators disseminated and increasing the environmental performance of companies.

Published: June 2021

The corrosion behavior of carbon steel C45 has been investigated in the absence and presence of different content of NaCl at four different temperatures 293, 303, 313, and 323 K by using potentiodynamic polarization technique. The results shown that the corrosion of carbon steel in the absence of NaCl is lower than in the presence of NaCl, and increased the concentration of NaCl lead to increase the corrosion rate at all the experimental temperatures and the maximum corrosion rate was observed in 14% NaCl. The corrosion rate was decreased after reaching the maximum value and increase the solution concentration of NaCl at 20% and 26% at all the four temperatures and that could be attributed to the high resistance of the solution when the concentration be higher. All the thermodynamic functions and activation energy are calculated and the results of Gibbs Free energy and enthalpy shown that the corrosion of carbon steel C45 in the absence or presence of NaCl at each same temperature is nonspontaneous and endothermic. The obtained results were in a good agreement with previous work based on the using of the weight loss method by another research work).

Segmentation method is the process of partition digital image into parts depending to color, texture, and intensity. There are many segmentation methods used in different fields according to the purpose of application. In this study the global thresholding and proposed hybrid method were used to segment lunar craters. Craters on Moon's surface caused by collision between Moon and celestial objects as comet, meteorite, asteroids and others. Due to the Moon has no atmosphere, the lunar surface covered by a huge number of craters different in their size and depth depending on velocity and size of collided objects. The study of lunar craters provide information about the age and geology of a Moon's surface. So, we proposed a novel hybrid segmentation method to segment Moon's images and isolate lunar craters from other surface features and then determine the diameter of lunar craters. The proposed hybrid method combine the performance of K-Means and SFFNN together. The results shown that, the proposed method gives very acceptable outcome, where the boundaries of lunar craters were delineate in professional way that lead to accurate determination of its diameters.

Authors: AL-KAFIJI Thikra K.
Published: June 2021

To produce a polymeric material for use in electronic applications, traditional ‘wet’ methods of synthesis include chemical and electrochemical polymerization.. In addition, organic precursors that are unable to polymerize using conventional techniques have been found to undergo polymerization using this technique. Interest in the use of plasma polymerization originated due to its advantages, which include the ability to produce films that are of uniform thickness, pinhole-free, chemically inert and thermally stable The low cost of this fabrication technique is attributed to the associated low consumption of precursor material and the absence of any need for other chemicals and/or solvents, therefore making it ecologically friendly. The purpose of this work was to report the capability of converting Olive oil to a solid state thin film and study its optical properties. The FTIR spectrum indicated the presence of hydroxyl groups ,methylene (ــــCH2) group , C ـــO ester group,and so on for the rest of the chemical groups, the entire range of spectra looks very similar for the Olive oil.Major optical properties are determined from analysis of absorption and emission spectra to both of pure Olive oil and prepared doped Ag sample.Absorption spectrum showed of pure olive oil has a strong two peak around wavelength at 411 nm and 690 nm, with three other weak peaks appears at wavelength around 463 nm.All these peaks are disappearing and heavily overlap one another. from absorption spectrum of doped Ag, in which it could see only wide absorption peak at 358nm.

Published: June 2021

The migration of Brazilians has become more and more frequent nowadays, with the main purpose of obtaining better living conditions. Studies indicate that one of the main reasons for migration is the search for training at a high level of training. Therefore, in this scenario, this research has as main objective to analyze the exodus of Brazilian students during their academic formation process, from data extracted from their curricula registered in the Lattes Platform with the adoption of network analysis techniques. The Lattes Platform was used for referring to one of the main Brazilian academic repositories, and for having relevant information for this research. Therefore, the LattesDataXplorer framework was used for the extraction and treatment of the data. Subsequently, the data set of individuals with a doctorate completed were selected because they are individuals with a higher level of education and who maintain a constant update of their curricula. Once this was done, data was enriched with geolocation and information from the institutions where they trained, in order to obtain results from distances covered by doctors. As a way of visualizing data, network analysis was used, and metrics were used to obtain an overview of how the Brazilian scientific exodus occurs. A high concentration of doctors is perceived in cities with a higher concentration of universities that have postgraduate programs at the master's and doctoral level, as well as being characterized by having higher incomes per capita.

Published: June 2021

We analyze structural properties and visualization of a historical-data-constructed social network of the families with members in the Cabildo (city council) of colonial Buenos Aires. The data was obtained through the review of birth, marriage, and death records kept in various institutions and expanded from online genealogical sources. We find structural properties and visual presentations and also a link centrality analysis that shows that ritual relationship represents an important glue that held together with the network.
Social structuring and social network analysis (SNA): religion and the God node
Authors: Oliva Miguel
Published: June 2021

This article links the theory of social structuring and the SNA (Social Network Analysis). We understand the emergence of religious networks as a more general process of social structuring. In the processes of structuring social networks, the connections are no longer random and become hierarchical and preferential links. Social structuring is associated with the models of random networks (ER); the greater or lesser degree of structuring, is a greater or lesser degree of randomness in the structuring of social ties. The concepts of real and potential connections are addressed, and ARS models are applied to the characterization of monotheism and polytheism. The nature of religious ties and normative networks is specified. Isomorphism of social structuring in politics and religion, and inter-religious conflict, are addressed.
A Framework of Web Mining Algorithm-Based Hidden Pattern in India E-Government Application Using Blockchain Technology
Authors: Kumar Rajeev
Published: June 2021

Purpose: The Indian Government should be analyzing these problems and organized a special team who has responsibility for all inquiry and reduced these types of problem and India’s Government should be informed about new health projects to people by public relations or advertising. Now, with the advent of data analysis techniques and tools, this process of finding patterns in the behavior of applications can be taken to a next higher level. The methods and algorithms used exclusively in data mining for medical purposes are known as Medical Data Mining. Many studies in the fields of e-government implementation in developed countries are available, but there are not many studies available in India. There is no underlying explanation why considerations apply to the electronic government's introduction, which contributes to a hole in the written audit. The knowledge is hidden among government data set and it is extractable through data mining techniques. The relevant and unchanging design of blockchain technologies could be used to accelerate constant progress to open and distributed energy frameworks and to tackle some problems facing the company.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Design & Implementing the theoretical concept of blockchain is an increasing technology which is seen by many inhabitants as a fundamental weakness because of the general obscurity of the complexities and chances of its execution.
Findings/Result: Although the study being conducted on the thorough analysis of e-government results, various questions relating to data collection and methodologies for analyzing these data are yet to be addressed by the potential researchers.
Originality/Value: Huge data analysis will open up options for developing market intelligence to increase the usage and personalization of e-governments.
Paper Type: Conceptual Research Review.

Disability Orientation of Occupational Therapy Practitioners in Physical Rehabilitation Settings: Tension Between Medical and Social Models in Theory and Practice
Authors: Holler Roni , Chemla Idit , Maeir Adina
Published: June 2021

Importance: To date, little is known about the extent to which occupational therapy practitioners have adopted the core insights of disability studies.

Objective: To examine the degree to which occupational therapy practitioners endorse the medical model of disability versus the social model of disability in theory and in practice.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Setting: Physical rehabilitation facilities, ranging from hospital to community settings.

Participants: One hundred two Israeli occupational therapy practitioners.

Outcomes and Measures: The Orientation toward Disability Scale, constructed for this study, has two dimensions that distinguish between the medical and social models of disability: locus of intervention (the person or environment) and client involvement (extent to which the practitioner fosters the client’s autonomy in the rehabilitation process). Each dimension addresses both theoretical and practical endorsements.

Results: Greater support for the social model of disability was mostly evident in the client involvement dimension, whereas support for the medical model of disability was mostly evident in the locus of intervention dimension. Over both dimensions, the medical model of disability was significantly more endorsed in practice than in theory. Work setting and prior exposure to the social model of disability were found to affect practitioners’ disability orientation.

Conclusions and Relevance: Occupational therapy practitioners working in physical rehabilitation are still relatively far from fully adopting the critical insights of the social model of disability. This finding is especially relevant when their actual practice, rather than their theoretical views, is considered and when rehabilitation takes place in out-of-home settings.

What This Article Adds: This study offers unique insight into the disability orientation of occupational therapy practitioners, showing a need for more training programs to expose students to the social model of disability. These programs should use critical discussions of the challenges that this model presents to the profession and barriers to implementing it in practice.
