Published: January 2021

Rapid development of Islamic banks leads to the requirement to compete in order to show the best performance. Performance assessment can be seen from the profit information. Income smoothing through the use of Financing Loss Provision (FLP) is one method that can be applied in Islamic banking in an attempt to get income based on their goals. This research aims to investigate income smoothing practice by using FLP at both Indonesia and Malaysia’s Islamic banks by applying mixed-method approach. In this regard, quantitive method was used to measure panel regression by using Eviews in order to analyze income smoothing practice through FLP in both Indonesia and Malaysia than qualitative method was used through interviews with practitioners and sharia supervisors in Indonesia to get the data about the practice. The data in this research were taken from 11 Islamic banks in Indonesia and 19 Islamic banks in Malysia from 2011 to 2016. The results of the research reveal that  Islamic banks in both Indonesia and Malaysia apply income smoothing by using FLP. The findings imply that Earning Before Taxes and Provision (EBTP) has significant positive effect on FLP. Moreover, the results of interviews indicate that Islamic banks in Indonesia do not apply income smoothing. However, there is an indication that they will lead to this condition. Therefore, it is suggested that the regulators will supervise the application of FLP by developing the investigation of this account in financial statement of the Islamic banks.

Published: January 2021

The horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) design with low wind speed requires blade geometry selection. The analysis uses the potential flow panel method and the integral boundary layer formulation to analyze wind flow around the airfoil. The blade design with the blade element momentum (BEM) theory has an aerodynamic coefficient value along the blade. Power wind calculates to model the wind shear pressure at each blade. This research aims to determine the wind turbine rotor based on the performance, including the power coefficient, tip speed ratio, power, and rpm. The simulation uses an airfoil NACA 4412 which has optimal coefficient lift (Cl) = 1.92 at 190 pitch of angle, coefficient drag (Cd) = 0.0635 at 130 pitch angle and Cl / Cd = 155 at tilt angle = 40. Five models of 2.5 m diameter blades with different angles for each chord. The test results show that the change in the speed ratio affects the power coefficient so that the optimal power coefficient on NACA 4412 in experiment 5 is 0.56, and change in rotation per minute affects the output power so that the rotation per minute and the optimal power in experiment 4 with a value of 374 rpm and 553 W.

Published: January 2021

A retrospective analysis was performed to sigmoid cancer cases in the digestive surgery division of Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital during the period of 2008–2011. Fifty–two cases were analyzed for metastases, stages and histopathology; mortality and morbidity were calculated for anastomotic leakage, 3–year survival, and incidence of local recurrence. Three–year survival analysis was performed using Kaplan–Meier based on staging and histopathology. The overall operative mortality was 1.9%, and the anastomotic leakage incidence was 8.1%. The incidence of local recurrence was 9.1%. The 3–year survival rates based on Dukes Staging were as follows: 100% survival for Dukes A, 95.5% for Dukes B and 61.1% for Dukes C and 0% for Dukes C. The 3–year survival rates in sigmoid cancer according to histopathology were 73.5% for well differentiated, 63.6% for moderately differentiated and 100% for poorly differentiated (sample size was one patient, could not be assessed), with 50% survival for mucinous histopathology. The overall survival in this sigmoid cancer study was 69.2%.

Authors: Damanik Fredy Rustomi , Abdurahman Maman , Rizki Kiki Akhmad
Published: January 2021

Background. Locally advanced breast cancer places approximately 40–60% from all the new cases of breast cancer in developing countries. And this kind of breast cancer requires a combined therapy, i.e. chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy. Nowadays, the response of chemotherapy is evaluated from the reduction in tumor volume. There is also another parameter. Since half of patients with breast cancer show abnormalities of routine blood clotting factors, D–dimmer which is a fibrin degeneration product from vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is used. There is an increase of plasma D–dimmer level among 86% of breast cancer patients. There is a strong relationship amongst serum VEGF and platelets count in breast cancer patient.

Method. To analyze the correlation, we did an evaluation of the tumor volume, platelets count, and plasma D– dimmer among patients with locally advanced breast cancer, before and after cyclophospamide, doxorubicin, 5–fluorouracil (FAC) combined neoadjuvant chemotherapy. This was a prospective study enrolling 36 subjects. The data is obtained from the history, physical examination, laboratory and or radiological exams as it found in medical record. To have a normal distribution of the subjects, a Shapiro–Wilk test was done. Pearson correlation test was applied in evaluation of the relationship of tumor volume, platelet count and plasma D–dimmer level after chemotherapy. Data was analyzed using the SPSS program ver.19.

Results. Tumor volume decreases till 153.811 cm3, the platelet level decreased till 4,958.333/mm3 and the plasma D–dimmer level also decreased up to101.389 ng/ml after FAC regimen. A significant relationship was found in platelet counts and tumor volume after chemotherapy with r of 0,391 (p=0,018). The relationship amongst the change in platelet level and plasma D–dimmer level showed a plateau which is quiet high with the value of r=0,473 (p=0,024).

Conclusion. There is a positive correlation of the tumor volume, the platelet level, and plasma D–dimmer level after combined FAC neoadjuvant chemotherapy

Published: January 2021

Pendahuluan. Cedera tulang servikal merupakan cedera tulang belakang yang paling ditakuti, baik bagi dokter, pasien dan keluarganya. Semua pasien dengan cedera tulang servikal subaksial yang tidak stabil, harus segera dilakukan fiksasi menggunakan traksi servikal. Foto polos servikal lateral masih merupakan standar dalam menganalisis stabilitas stuktur tulang servikal dan masih memiliki nilai diagnostik tinggi dalam menge- valuasi keberhasilan traksi servikal pasien cedera tulang servikal. Keberhasilan traksi servikal dapat diprediksi dengan melihat tercapainya realignment tulang servikal berdasarkan evaluasi foto polos servikal lateral serial pada pasien cedera tulang servikal subaksial.

Metode. Penelitian ini merupakan studi retrospektif yang dilakukan terhadap 30 pasien cedera tulang servikal subaksial yang masuk Unit Gawat Darurat (UGD) Rumah Sakit dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung (RSHS) periode 2009–2013. Studi ini menggunakan metode statistik logistik regresi dengan kemaknaan berdasarkan nilai p < 0,05 dan confidence interval sebesar 95%.

Hasil. Studi ini menunjukkan bahwa dari semua karakteristik pasien cedera servikal subaksial yang dilakukan traksi servikal (closed reduction), didapatkan interval kedatangan ke rumah sakit dan facet lock (FL) merupakan faktor utama suatu kegagalan traksi servikal. Interval kedatangan pasien ke RSHS pada keberhasilan traksi servikal bermakna signifikan secara statistik (p=0.015; 2–sided tail dengan Pearson's chi–square) dan distribusi FL pada keberhasilan traksi servikal bermakna signifikan secara statistik (p=0,001; 2 sided tail dengan fisher's exact test). Odds ratio untuk ada atau tidak adanya FL adalah 3,8 dengan 95% confidence interval 0.5–27.1; dengan p=0,001.

Kesimpulan. Disimpulkan bahwa dalam penanganan dan terapi cedera servikal subaksial > 24 jam perlu di–informed concent–kan akan kegagalan upaya traksi, serta bilamana terdapat FL tidak perlu dilakukan suatu upaya traksi servikal (closed reduction) percobaan, melainkan harus langsung dilakukan terapi definitif (opened reduction) serta stabilisasi

Liver disease has emerged as a critical issue in the management of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) victims. This study was carried out to investigate the derangement in indices of liver function in HIV-infected patients in Makurdi, North Central Nigeria. One hundred and fifty males and females adults within the age range of 21- 50 years were enrolled for this study. One hundred of these participants were confirmed HIV positive, out of which fifty were on various antiretroviral drugs including the nucleoside / nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors and the non-nucleoside transcriptase inhibitors classes of antiretroviral drugs. The remaining fifty persons who were HIV- negative served as the control group. Blood samples from the studied persons were analysed for alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, total protein, albumin, total bilirubin and conjugated bilirubin using automated clinical chemistry analyser, Hitachi 902 (Roche Diagnostic GMBH, Germany). The HIV- patients with or without antiretroviral drugs had their serum levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase significantly raised (p< 0.05) compared with the control subjects. A significant rise (p< 0.05) was observed in serum level of total protein in the HIV patients who were yet to commence antiretroviral drugs when compared to the control subjects. However, the albumin levels of the HIV patients on the antiretroviral drugs and those who were yet to commence the antiretroviral drugs decreased significantly (p< 0.05) when compared with that of the control. The total bilirubin level of the HIV patients on antiretroviral drugs showed significant increase (p< 0.05) compared with the control subjects and the HIV patients who were not on antiretroviral drugs. This study reveals that both HIV infection itself and the antiretroviral drugs cause hepatic malfunction

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ON MANUFACTURING MICRO, SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES (MSME) IN LUSAKA: A CASE OF MANDEVU AND KALINGALINGA MARKETS
Authors: Demberere Jeffrina , Kasongo Richard Mwale
Published: January 2021

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to find out the state of supply chain management within MSME’s in Zambia by investigating the Supply Chain Management (SCM) practices, its benefits and challenges using some selected manufacturing micro, small-medium enterprises in Mandevu and Kalingalinga markets of Lusaka.

Methodology: The study used descriptive research design and chose questionnaire as the tool for data collection. Purposive sampling technique was employed to obtain information from both the management and staff of the MSMEs. One hundred (100) questionnaires were distributed to the respondents. The obtained data were then analysed using the descriptive method.

Results: The study found out that the manufacturing MSME sector appreciates good supply chain management practices, but does not practise it. The study discovered that the sector has not established long term relationships with its customers and suppliers. The sector was found to face several challenges which threaten its long term growth and survival, the most worrying challenges being the lack of financial resources, failure to practice continuous quality improvement, low integration of process technologies and forecasting challenges. The study also revealed that when implemented SCM practices deliver a number of benefits to the MSMEs. For example, increased response to the customer, cost-cutting on service delivery, improved information sharing and improved capacity to offer after-sale services.  It is evident that MSMEs would perform well if supply chain management activities are improved. This, however, can be accomplished, if the MSMEs engage in strategic partnerships, customer relationship, high level of information sharing, information quality, as well as continuous quality improvement.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study could be replicated in other industry sectors of the economy and also in other developing countries to help build on the body of knowledge.
EFFECT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON BEE FARMING. A CRITICAL REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Authors: Kimani James
Published: January 2021

Purpose: Climate warming affects the phenology, local abundance and large‐scale distribution of bees. Despite this, there is still limited knowledge of how climate affect plant‐pollinator mutualisms and how changed availability of mutualistic partners influences the persistence of interacting species. This article reviews the evidence of climate warming effects on bee farming and discuss how their interactions may be affected by change in climate. Bees provide the majority of biotic pollination and are at risk from a multitude of factors; changes in land use, intensive agricultural practices, mono-cropping (growing a single crop year after year on the same land), and the use of pesticides have all contributed to large-scale losses, fragmentation and degradation of bee habitat. The general objective of the study was to establish the effect of effect of climate change on bee farming.   

Methodology: The paper used a desk study review methodology where relevant empirical literature was reviewed to identify main themes and to extract knowledge gaps.

Findings: The study found out Climate change is causing temperature shifts which are leaving bees unable to pollinate in time. Bees are severely vulnerable to extreme weather and climate change has caused flowers to emerge and bloom earlier. Changing temperatures have also reduced the size of their wild range by approximately five miles.

Recommendations: The study recommends that the local community needs to be enlightened on the need to form self-help group. These will provide them a platform to access more incentives and be able to share more information in relation to honey yield and to put more emphasis on providing food and water to bees during dry season

From year to year, Palm Mart mini-market stores have experienced an increase but it is very limiting for sellers to place their merchandise in Palm Mart Stores, thus impacting on the amount of data processed and the quality of service to consumers. The solution to the problems that exist in Palm Mart Stores is by creating a multi-tiered sales information system to help employees at the Palm Mart. At this writing the author uses descriptive research methods and uses the method of developing the waterfall system and uses Unified Modelling Language analysis.
The deep gluteal (piriformis) syndrome
Authors: Pearce JMS
Published: January 2021

Piriformisa syndrome is a subgroup of the deep gluteal syndrome, an important differential diagnosis of sciatica. Piriformis is a short external rotator muscle of the hip joint passing close to the sciatic nerve as it passes through the great sciatic foramen. Compression causes numbness, ache or tingling in the buttocks, posterolateral aspect of the leg and foot. The causes of sciatic nerve entrapment in the deep gluteal syndrome are best shown by endoscopic exploration. The frequency of anatomical variants in normal subjects however, should caution that such anomalies are not necessarily the cause of symptoms.
SPECIOUS PRESENT AND THE UNREALITY OF TIME OF J. M. E. MCTAGGART
Authors: Zaykova Alina
Published: January 2021

Argumentation by J. E. McTaggart uses among others the concept of "specious present", which describes the phenomenal experience of the present and the recent past. McTaggart argues since an event may be in the past for one, and inside the specious present and, therefore, in the present for another, we get a contradiction that illus-trates the unreality of time. However, since the apparent present can only include the past factualy, this argument cannot be applied.
Environment, diseases and Indian History
Authors: Kumar Ranjan
Published: January 2021

One can state that in studying environmental change, it is true that most human activities have environmental consequences, and that change in the natural systems, whether induced by humans or by nature itself, almost inevitably affects human beings. Environmental history is a multidisciplinary subject that draws widely on both the human influences and nature. There are many components of it, i.e., physical impact of human on earth, human and their exploitation of the nature, settlements and colonial expansion etc. Many of these components of environmental history examine the circumstances that produce the environmental problems. Apart from it there is separate line of study which is more cantered around historical perspectives and is specific toward environment and its impact on historical change.

Published: January 2021

En el presente trabajo, se exponen los resultados de la aplicación de una secuencia didáctica en cursos de primer año de secundaria de adultos y adultas, pertenecientes a diferentes escuelas de la ciudad de Buenos Aires. Las actividades fueron confeccionadas desde la perspectiva del Enfoque Cognitivo Prototípico (ECP) (Langacker, 1987, 1991; Lakoff, 1987), que sostiene que la gramática es un sistema de tendencias que refleja la concepción del mundo de una sociedad. Partimos de la hipótesis de que el enfoque discursivo que plantea el ECP supera las limitaciones que implica operar en un nivel oracional, y, por lo tanto, permite a los y las estudiantes una mejor comprensión de las categorías gramaticales que en los casos en los que se utilizan formas descontextualizadas. En el análisis de las secuencias, concluimos que las actividades planteadas desde un enfoque discursivo contribuyeron a mejorar la comprensión del tema gramatical y la interpretación del texto.

La escritura académica en las universidades es un indicador fundamental de desarrollo, requiere la adquisición y aplicación de competencias que satisfagan las demandas sociales y profesionales que le son inherentes. Específicamente, en la formación de profesionales de la Educación adquiere una connotación especial la práctica de competencias para la escritura como garantía para producir nuevos significados y para el tratamiento didáctico. A pesar de que se han hecho esfuerzos por mejorar la escritura académica persisten las dificultades en la producción escrita de los estudiantes universitarios, por ello el objetivo general de la investigación es: describir la dimensión sintáctica en los textos elaborados por los estudiantes de la carrera de Educación de la Universidad Pedagógica Experimental Libertador, Mérida-Venezuela. Se realizó un estudio mixto que dio preeminencia al paradigma cualitativo y empleó las técnicas del Análisis del discurso. La investigación se llevó a cabo en cuatro fases: I) estudio del estado del arte, II) diseño y construcción de los instrumentos de recogida de datos, III) proceso de validación de los instrumentos y IV) análisis de los resultados. Las debilidades encontradas en la muestra analizada demuestran un uso muy precario de competencias lingüísticas básicas (dimensión sintáctica), que en el nivel universitario deberían estar consolidadas. Estos resultados permitirán concebir acciones concretas desde el punto de vista didáctico, que actúen en favor de propuestas innovadoras para el mejoramiento del proceso de escritura en la formación de profesionales de la Educación.

Published: January 2021

Introducción: La metodología CHECK-ALL-THAT APPLY (CATA) es un método simple de obtener información sobre la percepción hedónica de los consumidores. El objetivo fue identificar, mediante metodología CATA, los atributos que podrían emplearse para optimizar formulaciones de hamburguesas con compuestos que aumenten su funcionalidad. Materiales y Métodos: Se utilizó un diseño experimental completamente aleatorizado 32 para definir 9 formulaciones de hamburguesa de carne caprina, con diferentes niveles de adición de perejil (Petroselinum crispum) y albahaca (Ocimum basilicum) evaluándolas organolépticamente utilizando 80 consumidores potenciales, que identificaron los atributos presentes en cada formulación. Los resultados fueron procesados mediante el paquete estadístico SPSS. Resultados: La validez interna (alfa de Crombach) fue 0,81, indicando que las respuestas fueron consistentes. Los atributos Dureza, Sabor intenso, Jugosidad, Regusto, Consistencia y Picante son los que establecen las diferencias sensoriales entre fórmulas. Para los atributos señalados, la percepción fue significativamente notable, excepto para picante, importante para muy pocos jueces. La detección de sabor intenso y sabor picante fue mayor en fórmulas con menor condimentación. Esto puede indicar que los consumidores en realidad detectaban el sabor característico de la carne caprina, el cual se enmascara parcialmente por la acción de los condimentos empleados. En todas las formulaciones, los jueces declararon regusto, lo que puede asociarse al sabor característico de la carne caprina. En general los jueces consideraron que los dureza, consistencia y jugosidad, eran detectables en todas las formulaciones. Conclusiones: Los atributos dureza, sabor intenso, jugosidad, regusto, consistencia y picante son los considerados diferenciantes entre formulaciones.
(Dis)Empowerment of Native Americans in Orson Scott Card’s The Tales of Alvin Maker
Authors: Łaszkiewicz Weronika
Published: January 2021

The aim of this article is to analyze the portrayal of Native Americans in Orson Scott Card’s The Tales of Alvin Maker (1987-2003). The series is an alternative history of America in the early 19th century, which allows Card to condemn the country’s colonial history, particularly the institution of slavery and the plight of Native Americans. Nevertheless, in spite of his obvious sympathy for Native Americans, Card does not manage to avoid all of the traps awaiting a non-Native author writing about Indigenous people. The following article examines the series’ portrayal of Native Americans, demonstrating how the author both empowers his Indigenous characters and undermines their empowerment. The framework for the proposed analysis is provided by Gerald Vizenor’s theories regarding the simulation of Native presence in dominant culture, the persistence of stereotypical indians, the concept of survivance, and the possible retrieval of Indigenous sovereignty.
Uma visão filosófica do ser: A vida dos animais e o conto “The glass abattoir”, de JM Coetzee A Philosophical Vision about being: The Life of Animals and the short story The “Glass Abbatoir”, by JM Coetzee
Authors: Oliveira Marilia Fatima
Published: January 2021

Este artigo analisa “The glass abattoir”, um dos contos de Moral tales (COETZEE, no prelo b), entendido como uma sequência de A vida dos animais (COETZEE, 2003), ambos escritos por JM Coetzee. Buscaremos compreender o movimento do autor na direção da ética em favor do direito à vida dos animais, questionando os códigos morais que justificam o consumo de carne. Coetzee transita pelo discurso filosófico em ambas as obras, refutando a existência de uma superioridade humana sobre esses animais. Em ambos os textos, a personagem principal é Elizabeth Costello, considerada alter ego de Coetzee. No conto, ela assume o inconformismo do autor com relação à forma que nós, indivíduos onívoros, tratamos os animais que comemos e estabelecemos um “equilíbrio ecológico” ao decidir quais, como e quando morrem. Mostramos que, em “The glass abattoir”, a personagem rompe com os discursos e planeja tornar fisicamente visível o que ocorre dentro dos abatedouros.
Vozes Ameríndias das Américas: Literatura, Descolonização e Autodeterminação
Authors: Walter Roland
Published: January 2021

O trabalho analisa como escritores ameríndios desenham um mapa de uma geografia crítica ao delinear a inter-relacionada brutalização dos seres humanos e do (meio) ambiente na interface colonização/ descolonização. Baseado numa abordagem teórica comparativa e interdisciplinar, embutida nos Estudos Culturais/ Pós-Coloniais e na Ecocrítica, o ensaio problematiza a questão da identidade ameríndia atrelada à terra e à prática da cultura e língua dentro de contextos de (neo)colonialidade e revela a relação quebrada entre sujeito, língua, lugar e mundo que constitui uma das fontes principais do entre lugar em textos de autores ameríndios do Brasil, do Peru e dos Estados Unidos.
Mourning the Troubles: Anna Burns’s Milkman as a Gendered Response to the Belfast Agreement
Authors: Santos Brigida Marcela , Pinho Davi
Published: January 2021

The past two decades have produced extensive criticism of the Good Friday/Belfast Agreement’s (1999) progressivist logic in its proposal of a “fresh start” as the best way to honour the victims of the armed conflict that took place during the Troubles (1968-1998). In this paper, we argue that, by refusing to forget and to move on without exposing its grief, Anna Burns’s novel Milkman (2018) mourns the Troubles in the public arena, undoing the Agreement. With special interest in Burns’s narrator and protagonist who evades the reality of violence by “reading-while-walking”, we read Milkman as a gendered response to this enforced forgetfulness. If walking the city frames this young woman’s trauma within the collective trauma of the Troubles, it also offers the nomadic possibility of refusing the sectarian identities available to her.
Glue, the Trainspotting novels and transition from working-class solidarity to neoliberal entrepreneurship
Authors: Santos Neto Amaury Garcia
Published: January 2021

This article discusses some of Irvine Welsh’s novels considering the period of transition from industrial to post-industrial society. We focus on the effects of this shift on fictional characters who originate from the working classes in Edinburgh, as represented in Welsh’s Glue (2001) and the Trainspotting Novels. As such works cover the period from the early 1970’s to the late 2010’s, Welsh evidences the move from the traditional working-class ethos, typified by Union solidarity, to the neoliberal culture of entrepreneurship and its related negative aspects. We propose to discuss how Welsh depicts neoliberal practices either rendering workers redundant for the new circumstances or creating new ways to exploit labour.
No bosque ficcional de Tristram Shandy: leitor e narrador nas entrelinhas
Authors: Trigo Aline Candido , Brito Luciana
Published: January 2021

Este trabalho analisa as figurações do leitor em Tristram Shandy, de Laurence Sterne a partir das ideias de Umberto Eco, Gerard Genette e Maurice Blanchot, com foco na relação entre narrador e leitor e o efeito estético decorrente das técnicas formais. Frente a um narrador-autor-personagem autoconsciente, os jogos com os limites do real e do imaginário são recorrentes, e desafiam aos mais variados tipos de leitores ainda na contemporaneidade. Tais experimentalismos refletem as ações do leitor, que se vê constantemente instigado e desafiado. Considerada por Virginia Woolf a precursora do romance moderno, a obra recebe pontos de vista distintos no que tange à interpretação de sua forma, conforme será discutido aqui, ao ponto de ser, por vezes, melhor compreendida pelos escritores shandianos que lhe seguiram e ainda seguem o influxo de ressignificação da mimesis e da forma literária.
Intermediality, intertextuality and parody: resonances of Jane Austen in John Fowles’s The French lieutenant’s woman
Authors: Azeredo Genilda
Published: January 2021

This essay aims at investigating the significance of Jane Austen in JohnFowles’s The French Lieutenant’s Woman. References to Austen’s Persuasionappear three times in Fowles’s novel, and the resonances of this intertextualdialogue substantially affect the politics of characterization and space(mainly the Cobb) in The French Lieutenant’s Woman. This discussionis theoretically based on the relationship between intertextuality,intermediality and parody, so as to consider the relevance of Persuasion(a pre-Victorian novel) in a work which has been generally considered bycritics as a parody of values and tenets of Victorian society and literature.What relationships are produced, in terms of both poetics and politics,when we think about the Austen-Fowles association?
One Day at a Time: The Political Limits of the Domestic Sitcom
Authors: Carvalho André , Dantas Tenório Leite Marília , Da Cunha Nichele Paola
Published: January 2021

Most critics argue that the television comedy One Day at a Time (2017), produced in the United States, is a progressive show, mainly due to its cast, its attempt at faithfully representing an ethnic minority, and its courage in advancing relevant, sensitive topics. In order to qualify such assumptions, we will review the history of the sitcom formula, particularly the genre often defined as domestic comedies of the 1970s, and argue that its formal constraints impose unsurmountable limits on a progressive agenda. Finally, we proceed with an aesthetic analysis of the first season, which further demonstrates that the genre’s need of family stability—what we call a hierarchy of values—compromises the dramatization of political content. We hope that by examining the genre’s history and analyzing the show’s aesthetic, we can contribute to a better understanding of its inherent shortcomings and compromises.
Sin Nombre, Babel, and the Conflicts in Contact Zones
Authors: Ayres de Menezes Mousinho George Alexandre
Published: January 2021

Contact zones can be understood as spaces where cultures meet and establish relations of power based on historical processes of domination and inequality. In such spaces and under such circumstances, power dynamics are sometimes resulted from the act of geographic dislocation, executed either by the individual from a central culture who is seen as the tourist or expatriate, or by the subaltern subject who travels to an imperialist nation in search of better prospects, who is seen as the – sometimes illegal – immigrant. The objective of this article is to examine Sin Nombre (2009) and Babel (2006), two films that bring representations of both instances of transit and the inequity of power, through the lens of the postcolonial concept of contact zones.
A Odisseia Segundo Penélope, por Margaret Atwood
Authors: Silva de Freitas Daniela
Published: January 2021

Este artigo analisa a re-visão que Margaret Atwood faz da Odisseia em A odisseia de Penélope. Para tanto, partimos de Bakhtin (1993) para mapear a subversão operada pela versão de Penélope dos traços constitutivos do épico. Ao destronar Odisseu e dar voz, em primeira pessoa, à Penélope e às doze servas enforcadas no retono de Ulisses à Ítaca, Atwood rompe com a linguagem épica sagrada, desmistifica a lenda e atualiza o passado épico absoluto, oferecendo, no lugar da narrativa grandiosa, a experiência pessoal e privada da vida das mulheres. Analisamos também algumas das implicações da reescrita do mito homérico por uma escritora canadense contemporânea. Argumentamos que, ao matar Homero enquanto Autor, Atwood tanto inscreve sua obra no cânone quanto abre espaço para o reconhecimento de outras versões da história.
"Finnegans Wake", de James Joyce, é musiscritura
Authors: Ferreira Luis Henrique Garcia , Fabbri Renato
Published: January 2021

Este paper propõe abordar as relações de Finnegans Wake com a música, especialmente com a música erudita eletroacústica, a qual se desenvolveu a partir da década de 1940. Não obstante a predileção de Joyce pela música erudita tradicional, aqui desenvolve-se a hipótese de que a escrita experimental do modernista irlandês, mais do que aplicar formas típicas da música, criou um tipo específico de musiscritura e antecipou procedimentos que os compositores só conseguiram alcançar com o uso de fitas magnéticas e sintetizadores. Assim, pelo uso sistemático de trocadilhos multirreferenciais, justapostos em dezenas de línguas e dialetos, Joyce colocou-se à frente da vanguarda musical de sua época, a qual chegou à síntese aditiva de densas camadas sonoras apenas algumas décadas depois das publicações iniciais de partes da Work in Progress, ainda na década de 20.
