IDENTIFICATION OF PHILOSOPHICAL ARCHITECTURE TRANSFORMATION FORM OF PASSENGER TERMINAL BUILDING OF KERTAJATI AIRPORT: COMPARISON OF VISUAL FEATURES OF MERAK BIRD (PEAFOWL) AND MERAK DANCE
Authors: Setiawan Agung , Handayani Sri , Fitriani Fitriani
Published: March 2024

AbstractKertajati Airport in Majalengka, West Java is known to have an attractive architectural design with a characteristic expression of "Merak" which can be seen in several parts of the passenger terminal building, especially recognized on the roof and facade. Based on the publication of PT. West Java International Airport (BIJB) as a Regional Owned Enterprise (BUMD) responsible for the construction and management of Kertajati Airport, this airport design carries the concept of " Merak " which is referred to as a representation of the local icon of West Java. The purpose of this study is to identify the design ideas that underlie the architectural design concept of the Kertajati Airport terminal building so that the philosophical meaning that is transformed into the architectural form of this airport is the embodiment of the local expression of West Java Province can be confirmed. Through the identification of visual characteristics in several parts of the architecture of the passenger terminal building, it can be concluded that the architectural design of the Kertajati Airport terminal building is more likely to adopt the transformation of the body shape of the Merak bird than the Merak Dance. This can be seen from the results of the identification of the architectural form of the Terminal building on the typology of the building mass, the segmentation of the building, the shape of the roof, the details of the roof, and the part of the facade which are compared with the visual characteristics of the morphological form of the Merak and the visual characteristics of the costumes of the dancers of the Merak Dance. Keywords: Architectural Transformation, Philosophy, Kertajati Airport Terminal, Merak dance

Published: March 2024

AbstractDisaster events are almost impossible to predict accurately when, where and how big so that the preparedness of all elements of society in various regions is a basic need so that the impact of disaster risk can be minimized. The number of mosques in various parts of Indonesia, both institutionally and physically, is a strategic means as a center for saving people from disasters, so that they become interesting objects for research. This study aims to describe the strategic role of planning and designing mosques to reduce disaster risk. The results of this study indicate that planning and designing mosques to reduce disaster risk can be carried out through three stages as follows: (1) Pre-disaster stage through planning: mitigation programs (non-physical), infrastructure planning (physical), site selection, building planning and environment. (2) In the emergency response stage, the design of the mosque must be adaptive to readiness as an information post, volunteers and logistics, medical service facilities, refugee shelter facilities, refugee sanitation facilities, public kitchen facilities, and trauma healing facilities. (3) Post-disaster stage through metal/trauma healing rehabilitation, community economic empowerment program, evaluation, and capacity building to deal with disasters. Keywords: Disaster, Mitigation, Disaster Management, Disaster Response Mosque.
CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE IN TYPOLOGY OF CAR WORKSHOP AND SHOWROOM BUILDINGS
Authors: Tanzil Keng Sukaria
Published: March 2024

In the era of the 2000s, revolutionary building typologies emerged, with mass forms of buildings that developed beyond the usual boundaries of existing building typologies. For example, the typology of hospital buildings at this time may follow the typology of hotel buildings, or the typology of traditional Lombok buildings, which was originally a typology of rice barns, changing its function to become a full-fledged residential building which is still in the typology of rice barns but has made adjustments to the details. shape, opening, and use. As well as building materials. Likewise, in the development of the building typology of showrooms and car repair shops, typology can change by adopting other building typologies that experience adjustments regarding the function of space and design details that can accommodate the needs of showrooms and car repair shops. So that in the era when the building was designed and built, the showroom and car repair shop would become a building with a contemporary architectural typology. This is because there is a desire to make showrooms and car repair shop buildings different from showrooms and car repair shops of the same type so that they will become icons and attractions for users and consumers as well as entrepreneurs who have an interest in car affairs. This study aims to analyze the application of contemporary architecture to exhibition buildings and car repair shops.
ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF SUBANG EXIT TOLL ON CHANGES IN COMMERCIAL LAND USE AND TRAFFIC VOLUME IN OTTO ISKANDARDINATA ROAD CORRIDOR, SUBANG DISTRICTA
Authors: Ahsana Andika
Published: March 2024

The development of highway infrastructure and Exit Tolls is very important for regional development. The existence of toll road infrastructure and Exit tolls provides easy access by land route so it is expected to have an impact on accelerating regional economic growth. Since the construction of the Exit Toll access in Subang City, the area around the Exit Toll has become an important area for regional development, especially community economic activities such as trade, industry, and public services. Over time, the area around the Subang Toll Exit has developed into a center of commercial activity marked by changes in land use along the corridor of Jalan Otto Iskandardinata. This study aims to analyze the impact of land use change and its relationship to traffic volume that has occurred along the Jalan Otto Iskandardinata corridor since the opening of the Subang Toll Exit access. Land use change analysis is carried out by comparing satellite imagery data obtained from Google Earth and through field surveys. The correlation with traffic volume was obtained through linear regression analysis with land use change as the dependent variable and vehicle activity in the road corridor as the independent variable. The results show that land use changes that occur along the corridor of Jalan Otto Iskandardinata Subang are dominated by commercial land uses. The change in land use also has an impact on changing the visual image of the road corridor.

Published: March 2024

Garbage is produced from various types of human activities and is one of the environmental problems that have an impact not only on the environment but also on human health, such as environmental pollution, death of animals or plants, and the emergence of diseases caused by vectors. One of the efforts to reduce is by sorting waste based on its type so that it is easier to determine the next processing method and implementing 3R (reuse, reduce, and recycle) to prevent and reduce waste generation. Palakali Creative Art Space already has trash cans based on type (organic, non-organic and Hazardous Toxic/B3), but the practice of sorting waste according to these criteria has not been carried out.

Authors: Sulistyarso Wahjuadhi
Published: March 2024

The level of customer satisfaction with the quality of parking services is viewed from five aspects, namely tangible, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. The survey method in the field (field research) is direct observation around UNIKOM BANDUNG CAMPUS through the deployment of surveyors at observation points (cordon count). The survey results were analyzed using the Microsoft Excel program. Data collection by recording the number of motorized vehicles entering and exiting at a certain time. The parking capacity for use in calculating the parking capacity survey (existing) is 176 SRP for motorbike parking in place A and 186 SRP for motorbike parking in place B. The results show that the maximum volume of parking reaches 188 motorbikes for parking A and 190 motorbikes for parking B. The highest accumulation reached 190 motorbikes for motorcycle A parking and 305 motorbikes for parking B. The use of parking space in terms of Parking Turn Over reached an average of 0.964 for parking A and 1.416 for parking B. If the need for parking space is greater than the available capacity then the number of parking spaces is not sufficient. And vice versa, if the need for parking space is less than the available capacity, it means that the number of parking spaces is still able to accommodate the vehicle that will be parked.

AbstractThe issue of Jalabi among teachers of Islamic studies in Ilorin metropolis is a socio-religious practice that needs to be properly scrutinized and checked due to the technicalities involved in the teaching-learning process, cultivation of good morals, discipline and character building which are the ultimate aims of the Islamic studies as enshrined in the National Policy on Education. The study examines the impact of Jalabi on the teaching of Islamic studies in senior secondary schools in Ilorin metropolis. A simple random sampling technique was used to sample 30 senior secondary schools across the three senatorial districts of the state and 260 teachers of Islamic studies as sampled in Kwara state. The researcher-designed questionnaire tagged “Impact of Jalabi on Teaching Islamic Studies Questionnaire (IJTISQ)” was used as an instrument for the study Descriptive statistics in the form of tables and percentages were used to describe the demographic data of the respondents and analyze the results obtained from the questionnaire administered. The results showed that a majority of respondents agreed that teachers who engage in Jalabi neglect regular teaching and that it hinders teachers' effectiveness. Additionally, most respondents disagreed that Jalabi practices lead to impressive teaching of Islamic studies. The survey also found that Jalabi practices prevent Islamic studies teachers from marking students' assignments, tests, and other tasks. However, only a small percentage of respondents agreed that teachers who practice Jalabi fail students arbitrarily. This implies that the practice of jalabi among senior secondary school teachers negatively affects the teaching of Islamic studies in Ilorin. It was concluded that the commercialization of Jalabi practices among senior secondary school teachers of Islamic studies hinders effective and efficient teaching of the subject in Ilorin metropolis, Kwara state, Nigeria.

Traumatic Posterior Hip Dislocation in a Child: When is an Anterior Open Reduction Indicated? A Case Report
Authors:   Department of Orthopedics & Traumatology, Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Jalan Yaacob Latif, Bandar Tun Razak, 56000 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Published: March 2024

Traumatic hip dislocations in children are uncommon, occurring in about 5% of all dislocations in children. Neglected hip dislocations are rarer and pose a serious threat to the normal development of the hip with complications of avascular necrosis and unstable gait. Open reduction is usually required, but the most appropriate surgical approach has not been clearly defined. We reported a child with a traumatic posterior hip dislocation who was successfully treated through an anterior approach after a previously failed posterior open reduction. An anterior open reduction of the hip following a previous failed posterior open reduction is a safe procedure and avoids the likelihood of an iatrogenic injury to the sciatic nerve. Pre-operative imaging with a CT scan or MRI is required in neglected cases to visualise intra-articular bone fragments, which can prevent a concentric reduction.

Published: March 2024

The birth pandemic has created major challenges to the quality and efficiency of health care systems, maternity care providers and women’s childbirth experiences. This study was conducted to determine maternal satisfaction with intrapartum care and its relationship with intrapartum mothers in a teaching hospital in Kuala Lumpur. This cross-sectional study was conducted with 300 intrapartum women using systematic random sampling. Maternal satisfaction was examined using 26-item questionnaires with a Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.88. Data were analysed using SPSS version 26. The results of this study showed that the majority of respondents were between the ages of 31 and 36 years, Malay, housewives (93.8%), had secondary education (93.1%), and had an income between RM4000 and RM4999 per month (97.6%). In addition, the results of the study found that 94.7% of respondents had a high level of satisfaction with intrapartum care, and 86.7% had a positive overall perception of intrapartum care. In addition, a weak but significant positive correlation was found between maternal satisfaction and mother’s perception of intrapartum nursing care (r = 0.371; p ≤ 0.001). Understanding the mother’s satisfaction with intrapartum care can help to optimise her well-being and prepare her for infant care.

Published: March 2024

Respiratory virus infections pose a significant public health concern, contributing to increase morbidity and mortality rates. This study investigated the determinants of hospital length of stay (LOS) for patients with Influenza-like illness (ILI) and Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI). A quantitative study was conducted in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from 1 September 2022 until 28 February 2023. Demographic data, viral infection status (influenza A, influenza B, and COVID-19), and environmental factors (temperature, humidity, wind speed, and particulate matter levels) were collected for 632 patients. The data were analysed using ordinal logistic regression in Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22.0. The results revealed that older age and higher body mass index (BMI) were associated with longer hospital stays, highlighting their significance as risk factors during respiratory outbreaks. Unexpectedly, patients tested positive for the investigated viruses experienced shorter LOS, indicating potential comorbidities or co-infections. Environmental factors played a critical role, with temperature, humidity, and wind speed significantly influencing LOS. These findings provided valuable insights for healthcare resource allocation during epidemics and underscored the need for comprehensive diagnostic tools and further research to enhance prediction accuracy.
Challenging Silencing in Stigmatized Neighborhoods Through Collaborative Knowledge Production
Authors: Dijkema Claske
Published: March 2024

Researchers are always potential traitors when they represent what they see or hear. This is of particular concern in the case of people in subaltern positions, who lack the power to challenge possible misrepresentations. This article deals with an old dilemma in critical social science: How to use language when research objects are silenced through dynamics of domination? Is it possible for research to create space for marginalized people to speak for themselves? This was one of the questions of the Université Populaire, a group initiative by actors in a marginalized social housing neighborhood in Grenoble. The community‐based people’s education initiative was created in a double context of violence and silence. As a result of incidents of violence, media coverage participates in depicting the neighborhood as a place of danger and otherness, which impedes voices from the neighborhood from being heard. The initiative of the Université Populaire made space for speech in this marginalized and racialized area of Grenoble dealing with the consequences of terrorist violence in France. It is an initiative the author has been involved in since its inception in 2015. This article explains how the author sought ways to reduce power asymmetry in research relationships, why she steered away from using interviews for data collection and organized public debates instead, and how this made space for speech.
Unpacking Silencing to Make Black Lives Matter: Ethnographies of Racism in Public Space
Authors: Wilopo Claudia , Dijkema Claske
Published: March 2024

This article focuses on the debates surrounding decolonisation and antiracism in the wake of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests in Switzerland. They sparked new discussions within Swiss institutions, particularly city governments, about racism, colonialism, and physical changes to the material environment for which activists have advocated. Based on an empirical example in Zurich, the article examines the dynamics of (un)silencing when city governments respond to demands by local antiracist groups who ask for the removal of racist street names in public spaces. We draw on postcolonial and subaltern studies to examine practices of silencing and being heard, combining it with Rancière’s understanding of depoliticisation. The empirical case study shows that the actions and voices of people directly affected by racism were key in advocating for institutional change as well as addressing colonial remnants in urban spaces. This case shows how the demands of social movements can amplify marginalised voices and how they can also lead to new forms of silencing. This article explores the complexity of silencing practices that disregard the plurality of voices, and political movements focusing on the depoliticising of interpretations of antiracism in public debates while simultaneously neglecting the diversity of voices affected by racism. It contributes to debates on how racism is voiced and silenced in progressive and liberal urban institutions.
Közösségi munkavégzési terek és kreatív gazdaság egy periférikus nagyvárosban
Authors: Horeczki Réka , Bálint Dóra , Lux Gábor
Published: March 2024

A városi terek átalakulása a kreatív gazdaság értékteremtő szerepének felértékelődéséhez vezetett, amely többek között a kreatív munkavégzés új formáiban jelent meg. Az elmúlt másfél évtized a közösségi munkavégzés modelljének rohamos terjedését és számos formájának kialakulását eredményezte. A kreatív terek erősen kötődnek a globalizáció rendszereihez, ám egyben a lokális terekhez is szorosan kapcsolódnak, a glokalizáció sajátos formáját képviselik. Ugyanakkor a kreatív gazdaságot erős centrum-periféria megosztottság jellemzi, és bár formái a földrajzi és gazdasági perifériákon is megjelentek, ezekben a terekben léptékbeli, hálózatokhoz kötődő és intézményi hátráltató tényezők nyomják rá bélyegüket a fejlődésre. A sikeres kulturális ökoszisztémák felépítése jelentős nehézségekbe ütközik, amely a városfejlesztési politikák elé is akadályokat gördít.
Ehhez kapcsolódva a tanulmányban Pécs, egy periférikus helyzetű nagyváros, ezen belül a közösségi munkavégzési terek (coworking központok) példáján keresztül elemezzük a periférikus kreatív gazdaságok formálódását és sajátos kihívásait. A nemzetközi és hazai szakirodalom tükrében a megosztáson alapuló gazdaság keretein belül vizsgáltuk a coworking jelenségét és annak térbeli hatásait, különös tekintettel a térségi perifériákra, majd három fázisban, a pécsi kreatív miliő felmérése és szakértői interjúk felhasználásával empirikus kutatást végeztünk.
A hazai vidéki nagyvárosok között Pécs a kreatív városfejlesztési stratégiák és a coworking mozgalom bölcsője, ugyanakkor ez a fejlődési pálya számos nehézséggel küzd, a város kreatív értékeinek termékesítése elmarad a várakozásoktól. Kutatásunk eredményei azt mutatják, hogy a városban a coworking központok sokszínű ökoszisztémája jött létre. Működésükben a nemzetközi mintákhoz hasonlóan meghatározó a belváros kulturális vonzereje és az egyetem szerepe; a pandémia utáni években pedig új bővülési hullám jeleit és a digitális nomádok újkeletű megjelenését láthatjuk. Ugyanakkor, bár ezek a központok katalizátorszerepet játszanak a kreatív gazdaság fejlődésében, még nem került sor érdemi klaszteresedésre, a tudásmegosztáson és kollektív tanuláson alapuló előnyök megjelenésére és a közösségi reziliencia kialakulására. Alacsony a tradeable kreatív termékek jelenléte, a szektort pedig számottevő fenntarthatósági problémák – bizonytalan üzleti modellek és a külső forrásoktól való függőség – jellemzik. A centrum–periféria viszonyok erős érvényesülése tehát a coworking, és a szélesebben értelmezett kreatív gazdaság lassú fejlődését vetíti előre Pécs városában.
Fertility Trends and Population Policy in the Canton of Sarajevo
Authors: Reményi Péter , Haris Gekič , Aida Bidžan-Gekić
Published: March 2024

The demography of Bosnia and Herzegovina fits into the Southeast-European trends with sub-replacement fertility and high emigration rates. At the national level, natural decline started in 2007, while migration is influenced by the war and its aftermath, as well as several economic and political push factors (low wages, corruption, high unemployment, etc.), and also has a serious impact on birth and death rates. On the other hand, demographic trends in the Canton of Sarajevo differ from the national pattern. It reached sub-replacement fertility more than a decade later (2019), and migration still has a positive balance: besides significant emigration rates, immigration to the Canton, especially from the other parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is higher. Since migration involves younger generations, it is also a factor behind the more favourable fertility rates, and can be evaluated as a consequence of better socio-economic development in the capital and its gravitational area.
In the Canton, there have been several factors that contributed to the decline of birth rates in the past decades. Changing functions of family and children in the society, increasing women's employment, educational level and career aspirations, growing individualism and rationality, the changing social climate in relation to children, higher personal standards, and other socio-psychological factors should be mentioned. Birth rates were also (positively) influenced by other factors. One of the most important points is that the Canton has certainly one of the best support policies in Bosnia and Herzegovina including financial support and allowances for newborn children, subsidies in preschool education, primary and secondary schools as well as scholarships for pupils and students. Positive economic trends such as new constructions of residential buildings, business, and shopping centres, as well as an even stronger concentration of attractive institutions and activities should be emphasised.
In 2021, the total fertility rate accounted for 1.38 in the Canton, while it has shown a great variation among the municipalities. The municipality with the lowest total fertility rate (Novi Grad) had the highest total number of live births in the Canton, while the municipality with the lowest total number of live births (Trnovo) was the only one with total fertility rate values above the replacement level. Due to its demographic, economic and political significance, the Canton of Sarajevo is a key area for population revitalisation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Therefore, local measures have national significance, and can act as a model for the rest of the country in terms of population policy as well.
Limited Evidence of Late Quaternary Tectonic Surface Deformation in the Eastern Tennessee Seismic Zone, United States
Authors: Thompson Jobe Jessica , Briggs Richard , Gold Ryan , Bauer Laurel , Collett Camille
Published: March 2024

The ∼300-km-long eastern Tennessee seismic zone, United States, is the secondmost seismically active region east of the Rocky Mountains. Seismicity generally occurs below the Paleozoic fold-and-thrust belt within the Mesoproterozoic basement, at depths of 5–26 km, and earthquake magnitudes during the instrumental record have been moment magnitude (Mw) ≤4.8. Evidence of surface deformation may not exist or be difficult to detect because of the vegetated and soil-mantled landscape, landslides, locally steep topography, anthropogenic landscape modification, or long, irregular recurrence intervals between surface-rupturing earthquakes. Despite the deep seismicity, analog models indicate that accumulation of strike-slip or oblique-slip displacement at depth could be expected to propagate upward through the Paleozoic section, producing a detectable surficial signal of distributed faulting. To identify potential surface deformation, we interrogated the landscape at different spatial scales. We evaluated morphotectonic and channel metrics, such as channel sinuosity and catchment-scale hypsometry. In addition, we mapped possible fault-related topographic features on 1-m lidar data. Finally, we integrated our observations with available bedrock and Quaternary surficial mapping and subsurface geophysical data. At a regional scale, most morphotectonic and channel metrics have a strong lithologic control. Within smaller regions of similar lithology, we observe changes in landscape metrics like channel sinuosity and catchment-scale hypsometry that spatially correlate with new lineaments identified in this study and previously mapped east–west Cenozoic faults. These faults have apparent left-lateral offsets, are optimally oriented to slip in the current stress field, and match kinematics from the recent focal mechanisms, but do not clearly preserve evidence of late Pleistocene or Holocene tectonic surface deformation. Most newly mapped lineaments might be explained by either tectonic or nontectonic origins, such as fluvial or karst processes. We also reevaluated a previously described paleoseismic site and interpret that the exposure does not record evidence of late Pleistocene faulting but instead is explained by fluvial stratigraphy.

Authors: Torres-Álvarez Yudelis Leonardo , Gamardo-Hernández Pedro Felipe , Miarka Bianca
Published: March 2024

This study aimed to examine the impact of sexual maturation on the anaerobic performance of male adolescent wrestlers. Methods: We included a sample of 29 freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestlers from various clubs in Barinas, Venezuela. Their physical characteristics were as follows (mean ± SD): age, 14.99 ± 1.83 years; body mass, 54.68 ± 16.80 kg; height, 161.06 ± 12.78 cm; body fat, 12.09 ± 4.11%; body mass index (BMI), 20.58 ± 3.79 kg/m2; and training experience, 3.66 ± 2.27 years. Sexual maturation was evaluated using Tanner's criteria, while anaerobic performance was assessed with the 30-second Wingate test for both lower and upper body. Results: There were moderate to strong significant correlations between maturation development and both peak power (PP) and average power (AP) — for both absolute and relative measures — for the lower and upper body. The fatigue index (%FI) for the lower body did not show any correlation with maturation development or with the pubescent and postpubescent maturation categories. Conversely, the %FI for the upper body demonstrated a significant moderate correlation with maturation development and with the postpubescent maturation category. Additionally, a strong significant correlation was observed between the pubescent maturation category and both PP and AP (absolute and relative) for the lower body. A moderate correlation was found between the postpubescent category and PP (absolute) for the upper body. PP (absolute) and AP (relative) for the upper body had a moderate correlation with the pubescent maturation category, while the postpubescent category showed a strong correlation with PP (absolute), AP (absolute), and AP (relative). Conclusion: The stages of sexual maturation significantly influence the anaerobic capacity of adolescent wrestlers, potentially affecting their training adaptations for peak performance. Future research should explore the physiological responses to training protocols tailored to specific stages of maturation.

Vüs’at O. Bener, 1950 sonrası Türk edebiyatının dikkat çeken isimlerindendir. Bener, roman ve öykü başta olmak üzere pek çok alanda eserler vermiştir. Bener’in öyküleri modern tarzda ve varoluşçuluk anlayışı merkezinde; yalnızlık, huzursuzluk, yabancılaşma, ruhsal sıkıntılar ve benlik arayışlarıyla dikkat çeker. Yazar, hikâyelerinde bireyin iç dünyasına eğilmiş, sosyal meselelere değinmemiştir. Bu nedenle toplumsal temalar –ekonomik sorunlar, sınıfsal farklılıklar, kuşak çatışmaları gibi temalar – onun öykülerinde ön planda yer almaz. Vüs’at O. Bener, bir durum hikâyecisidir. Bundan dolayı öykülerinde psikolojik tahliller ve yansımalar ağırlıktayken olaylar ve mekânlar geri plandadır. Bener’in öykülerinde mekân çoğu zaman belirsiz veya soyut kalmış, kimi zaman da birkaç cümle ile geçiştirilmiştir. Bener’in öykülerinde mekânın tasvirinden ziyade mekânın tasarımı dikkat çeker. Yazarın öykülerinde otobiyografik izler oldukça belirgindir. Büyük kentlerin yanı sıra anlatıcı yazarın subaylık mesleğini yaptığı taşra kasabaları Bener’in hikâyelerinde nitelikli dış mekân olarak karşımıza çıkar. Yazarın öykülerinde dış mekân ağırlıklı olarak ismi verilmeyen Anadolu şehirleri veya kasabalarıdır. Yazarın öykülerinde olaylar genelde iç mekânlarda geçer. Bu mekânlar, yemekhaneler, hastaneler, oteller, ceza evleri, dükkânlar veya evlerdir.
CRIAÇÃO DE SOFTWARE WEB PARA INDEXAÇÃO DE PICOS CRISTALOGRÁFICOS ASSOCIADOS ÀS DIFRATOGRAMAS DE RAIOS X UTILIZANDO O ALGORITMO SEARCH-MATCH
Authors: Moreira Moraes da Silva Felippe , De Oliveira Magnago Roberto
Published: March 2024

Diffractometer is a device that measures the intensity of the diffraction of X-ray beams applied to a sample at an angle of 2θ and records it in files that allow the generation of a linear graph, called diffractogram. Much information can be obtained by analyzing this graph together with the crystal lattice parameters of the studied sample. These data are obtained by submitting the results to the comparison with other diffraction patterns, and this is currently done using a software that performs the processing, analysis and refinement of the diffractograms. Nonetheless, most of them do not support the Portuguese Language, they are costly and, especially, depend on installation particularities, making the research expensive or unfeasible. This work proposes a national alternative, creating a web software that performs the indexing of a diffractogram using the search-match algorithm for the comparison with an open crystallographic database. The software successfully indexed already known diffractograms, comparing the results obtained with those derived from other methods and proprietary software, such as OriginLab and TOPAS, in addition to the software used as a basis for the development. It is concluded that the offer of this system will be relevant for the academic community, especially for the institution that will make it available
SEMIOTICS OF HARLEY-DAVIDSON ADVERTISING THROUGH STYLISTICS AND PRAGMATICS

Published: March 2024

The article explores the semiotic construction of consumer identity through the stylistics and pragmatics of Harley-Davidson discourse, actualizing semiotic codes of its advertising. The findings provide evidence of the role of metaphorical expressions encoded in slogans and other stylistic devices in actualizing the hermeneutic code of the brand's advertising. The antitheses underlying the juxtaposition of brand values against mainstream ones underlie the symbolic code of the slogans' messages. The actional code relies on directives that stimulate the behavioral model, and implicit commissive acts, promising to fulfill the consumers’ needs. The obtained data demonstrate the semiotic function of the key signified Freedom and its derived sub-concepts in constructing the target brand identity

Published: March 2024

Rice bran (Oryza sativa) is a by-product of rice processing that contains bioactive terpenoid compounds such as oryzanol. This compound has many pharmacological effects such as antioxidant, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, etc. On the other hand, the essential oil of pomelo peel (Citrus maxima) has a refreshing aroma and also contains a variety of phytochemicals that are efficacious as antioxidants. This study aims to identify optimal formulations of shampoo with a combination of acetone extract from rice bran and essential oil of pomelo peel. Rice bran was extracted using acetone solvent, while essential oil from pomelo peel was obtained by distillation. Phytochemical screening of acetone extract showed the presence of terpenoids, flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and saponins. The extracts and essential oil were formulated into shampoo into 4 groups (FI, FII, FIII, FIV), which respectively contained 0%, 10%, 15%, and 20% extract. The results showed the evaluation of the best physical shampoo in Formula III because volunteers preferred Formula III and its better foam stability. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the acetone extract of rice bran and the essential oil of pomelo  peel could be formulated into good shampoo.

i Inga Iwasiów przywołują własne doświadczenie, by przełożyć je na heterogeniczną relację dotyczącą
życia społecznego. Autorka analizuje rozproszone artykuły, wykłady, recenzje, relacje ze
spotkań, felietony i eseje, w których intelektualistki wyrażają swój sprzeciw wobec rugowania
kobiet z przestrzeni publicznej, a przy tym odnotowują daty powstania swoich tekstów. Wybrane
pisarki łączy pozycja intelektualistki i feministki. Ich działalność w sferze publicznej wpisuje się
w akademicki, intelektualny aktywizm, o który apelowała socjolożka Patricia Hill Collins, badając
możliwe ścieżki transferu wiedzy wypracowanej na uczelniach wyższych do środowisk, w których
ta wiedza ma znaczenie praktyczne. Autorka artykułu ukazuje, jak ze splotu tych rozważań tworzą
się projekt zmian i interwencja w sprawie wykluczonych, słabych, skrzywdzonych. Kronikarskie
zapiski przypominają w tym wymiarze nie tyle zaangażowaną w rewolucję publicystykę, ile mają
formę typową dla pisanych przez nie powieści: autorki stawiają w nich nieoczywiste pytania
i nie podsuwają gotowych rozwiązań.
Nostalgies of posthistory, scars of postmemory – (re)marking absence, (re) writing loss in Barbara Sadurska’s "Mapa"
Authors: DĄBROWSKI BARTOSZ
Published: March 2024

W artykule badam formę narracyjną powieści Mapa Barbary Sadurskiej, sytuując jej problematykę
w kontekście badań z zakresu postpamięci, studiów nad traumą i widmontologii. Na podstawie
spostrzeżeń Dominicka LaCapry i Victorii Aarons dotyczących poetyki typowej dla utworów fikcjonalnych
trzeciego pokolenia stawiam tezę o podwójnym charakterze opracowania autobiograficznego
doświadczenia nieobecności za pośrednictwem narracyjnych trybów charakterystycznych
dla fabulacyjnej prozy postmodernistycznej i postmemorialnej powieści generacyjnej.
Sadurska podejmuje próbę opowiedzenia/oznaczenia nieobecnej historii, wykorzystując z jednej
strony praktykę kodowania traumy typową dla pamięci protetycznej, z drugiej zaś odwołując się
do motywu postmemorialnej blizny, traumatycznego punctum będącego śladem etnicznej przynależności
i znamieniem rodzinnego dziedziczenia – formy jednocześnie materialnej i symbolicznie
niedookreślonej, a zatem bliskiej paradoksom widmontologii.
Biographemes in popular literary biofictions: the case of Edgar Allan Poe
Authors: BRAID BARBARA
Published: March 2024

Niniejszy artykuł omawia pokrótce praktykę narracyjną zwaną biofikcją, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem
biofikcji popkulturowej i jej specyficznego wcielenia, jakim jest biofikcja literacka, dokonująca
fikcjonalizacji znanego pisarza lub pisarki. Po zdefiniowaniu biofikcji jako takiej omawiam
rolę elementów referencyjnych, które nazywam biografemami – rozumianymi tutaj jako biograficzne
memy – oraz wyodrębniam biografemy literackie pełniące specyficzne funkcje w popkulturowej
biofikcji literackiej. Wszystkie wymienione cechy biofikcji sytuują ją jako praktykę postautentyczną
i typową dla współczesnej kultury remiksu. W końcowej części artykułu przedstawiam
przykłady biofikcji dotyczących Edgara Allana Poego, wskazując na emblematyzację głównego
bohatera i metafikcyjną naturę biofikcji.
Emprendimiento y empresa familiar en España: Análisis de sus principales características y perfil de los emprendedores familiares
Authors: Rivera Berta , Siaba Casais Sabela , Casal Bruno
Published: March 2024

Las empresas familiares desempeñan un papel clave en la economía, suponiendo en torno al 89% del tejido empresarial de nuestro país, con una aportación al PIB del 57,1% y la creación de un 67% del empleo privado. La actividad emprendedora tiene un papel crucial después de la pandemia de COVID-19 al ser uno de los principales indicadores de recuperación económica en períodos de recesión. Con datos del Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) para 2021, se han analizado las principales características sociodemográficas de los empresarios familiares emprendedores, considerando sus principales diferencias con respecto al resto de negocios que no poseen esta naturaleza. Los resultados muestran que el 86,37% de los encuestados manifestó que su familia había participado en el inicio del negocio bajo la figura de copropietario y/o coadministrador, siendo la forma más común de participación la de cogestión y copropiedad familiar. La figura predominante fue la del autoempleo y el género que presentó mayores niveles de emprendimiento familiar fue el femenino. Estos resultados son de especial relevancia, dado que las familias desempeñan un papel importante en la creación de empresas y de empleo estable. Asimismo, conocer el perfil del emprendedor familiar puede facilitar el diseño de incentivos al emprendimiento.

La empresa familiar centenaria: algunas claves para su eterna supervivencia
Authors: Jung Andrés , Peña-Legazkue Iñaki
Published: March 2024

No son muchas las empresas familiares que logran superar el siglo de actividad mediante la transmisión de un patrimonio, tangible e intangible, que pasa de mano en mano durante más de cuatro o cinco generaciones en una familia. A falta de una teoría de la empresa familiar que pueda explicar por qué algunas empresas sobreviven eternamente mientras otras perecen en el camino, en este trabajo se aporta una reflexión parcial sobre el papel que desempeña el emprendimiento a la hora de contribuir a la renovación estratégica de la empresa familiar primigenia, y por lo tanto, a la ampliación de su longevidad.

Depressive and Anxiety Disorders in Adolescents. A Psycho-spiritual Approach and Statistical Contextualization
Authors: Neagu Oana-Andreea
Published: March 2024

At the beginning of the third millennium, depression is under a lot of debate and specialist studies, literature, artistic manifestations and people's testimonies highlight this form of mental disorder that is growing and giving rise to complex and various problems. Depression means a state of pathological sadness and, at the same time, is a permanent negative state, an emotional pain overwhelming an individual in moments almost normal of life, but which are perceived disproportionately. Besides sadness, cognition, thought process, will and decision-making power are also impaired. Usually, depressive states do not have an organic cause, but some existential causes, linked to the absence of perception of life meaning and the connection to God.Depressive disorder is a real public health issue, with a major impact on the cognitive, psychological and social development of adolescents. Therefore, this work aims to identify, from a theoretical perspective, the factors that generate a context favoring the triggering and amplification of some forms of depressive or anxiety disorders in adolescents, and also to highlight some multidisciplinary methods of understanding and intervention proposals.
Variations in the frequency of streptococcal tonsillopharyngitis among children after COVID-19
Authors: Nas Yunus , Gözüküçük Süveyda
Published: March 2024

Aim: Comprehensive data on the variations in the frequency of Streptococcus pyogenes (GAS) tonsillopharyngitis before

and after the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic are still insufficient. This study aimed to investigate the changes in the frequency of GAS in children before, during, and after the COVID-19 period.

Material and Methods: This retrospective study included 13,061 patients diagnosed with a pre-diagnosis of bacterial tonsillopharyngitis based on clinical findings, between June 2018 and June 2023. All patients were administered the Strep A antigen test, and throat swab samples were collected. Patients were divided into three groups based on their hospital admission dates. Group 1, pre-COVID-19 pandemic period (1 January 2018 – 10 March 2020); Group 2, during the COVID-19 pandemic when strict measures were enforced (11 March 2020 – 30 June 2021); and Group 3, the period after the lifting of COVID-19 pandemic measures (1 July 2021 – 30 June 2023).

Results: The prevalence of GAS in the entire population was 23.2% (n=3024). Among the groups, Group 3 had the highest ratio of GAS cases, followed by Group 1, and then Group 2 (Group 1: 18.1%, Group 2: 6.0%, Group 3: 29.6%, p < 0.001). During the period characterized by stringent measures against the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant reduction in the frequency of GAS was observed in comparison to the pre-COVID-19 era. However, with the relaxation of COVID-19-related restrictions, particularly in the last quarter of 2022 and the spring of 2023, there was a marked increase in the frequency of GAS. Conclusion: In children, the frequency of GAS significantly decreases with COVID-19 isolation measures. However, a rebound increase is observed following the relaxation of these isolation measures.
Examining components of attitudes towards mathematics among senior secondary school students in Nigeria
Authors: AWOFALA ADENEYE OLAREWAJU
Published: March 2024

The study investigated the components of attitudes towards mathematics among 1500 senior secondary school students from 20 co-educational public schools in the Lagos State of Nigeria using the quantitative research method within the blueprint of the descriptive survey design. Data collected using the component of attitudes toward mathematics scale (Cronbach alpha coefficient α=0.96) were analysed using the descriptive statistics of frequency count, percentage, mean, and standard deviation and inferential statistics of independent samples t-test and factor analysis. Findings revealed that senior secondary school students’ level of components of attitudes toward mathematics was at a moderate level. Components of attitudes towards mathematics scale was a multi-dimensional construct consisting of cognitive, behavioural and affective elements. Gender differences in components of attitudes towards mathematics among senior secondary school students were significant and in favour of the males. Based on this study, it was thus, recommended that future studies in Nigeria and elsewhere should investigate further the confirmatory factor analytic structure of the components of attitudes towards mathematics scale among senior secondary school students.
