Published: April 2020

Perkembangan teknologi yang memasuki era internet of thing saat ini semakin diminati di setiap elemen masyarakat. Salah satu perkembangan teknologi yang telah diterapkan adalah learning management system guna menunjang sarana pendidikan di Indonesia. Kesempatan pengembangan perangkat LMS masih sangat terbuka, namun para developer lokal di Indonesia masih belum dapat melihat peluang dan tantangan yang ada sehingga menyebabkan minimnya LMS lokal di Indonesia. Metode analisis penelitian ini menggunakan Framework Zachman yang merupakan salah satu metode Enterprise Architecture Planning (EAP) yang digunakan untuk perancangan sistem dengan cara menyajikan langkah yang sistematis, mudah dipahami, dan dapat dijadikan kontrol untuk pengembangan sistem dimasa mendatang. Penelitian ini menghasilkan blueprint learning management system yang dipetakan kebentuk matrik Zachman yang mewakili sudut pandang penggagas AKRB Yogyakarta, sudut pandang pemilik yaitu instansi pendidikan, dan sudut pandang pengembang yaitu sistem analis sehingga menghasilkan arsitektur data yang disesuaikan dengan aktifitas proses pembelajaran yang berjalan di AKRB Yogyakarta yaitu mencakup data dosen, data mahasiswa, data mata kuliah, data materi kuliah, dan data tugas perkuliahan, serta desain jaringan yang telah disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan. Kata Kunci — Teknologi Informasi, Learning Management System, Framework Zachman The development of technology that has entered the internet of things era is increasingly in demand in every element of society. One of the technological developments that has been implemented is the learning management system to support educational facilities in Indonesia. The opportunity to develop LMS devices is still very open, but local developers in Indonesia still cannot see the opportunities, leading to the lack of local LMS in Indonesia. The method of analysis of this study uses the Zachman Framework which is one of the Enterprise Architecture Planning (EAP) methods used for system design by presenting steps that are systematic, easy to understand, and can be used as controls for future system development. This study resulted in a blueprint learning management system that was mapped to the Zachman matrix which represented the viewpoint of the Yogyakarta AKRB initiator, the owner's point of view, the educational institution, and the developer point of view that the system analyst produced a data architecture adapted to the learning process activities in the Yogyakarta AKRB includes lecturer data, student data, course data, lecture material data, and lecture assignment data, as well as network design that has been tailored to the needs.

The paper considers the phenomenon of social me-dia as a factor that causes an ambiguous impact on the electoral process. The authors analyze this prob-lem on the example of the Western democratic state – Great Britain. It is particularly emphasized that the electoral legislation of this country needs to be changed, since in this configuration of the model of the electoral system it is difficult to prevent the dis-tortion of the will of British voters, especially when converting votes into mandates. It is noted that the development of Internet technologies and their use as information support for the conservative party of Great Britain during the 2006 election campaign con-tributed to the mobilization of the younger genera-tion. Attention is drawn to the fact that the subse-quent electoral cycles are no exception, that is, so-cial media is increasingly involved in the UK's elec-toral process. The paper analyzes the features of using social media (advertising, etc.) in the election campaign on the example of the case of early par-liamentary elections in the UK in 2017. It is empha-sized that, despite the significant influence of tradi-tional media, the Internet is the key communication channel for young people. It is noted that the phe-nomenon of «youthquake» is not so much related to the technical component of social media, but rather to the convergence of populist ideas and the net-work component, which allowed the Labour Party to improve its position in the UK Parliament. Working with young people through social networks allows them to be involved in the electoral process. The authors emphasize that the new phenomena of the digital age require appropriate legislative regulation (correction of electoral legislation on a number of issues).
Utopia of Monarchical Ideology in Modern Russia: the “Romanov Empire” Project and Its Prospects
Authors:   Syktyvkar State University, Kuzmin Aleksandr Gennadyevich
Published: April 2020

The paper discusses one of the options for Russia’s state system in the theory of modern Russian mon-archism, which is proposed by Anton Bakov, leader of the Monarchist Party of Russia. The concept is investigated on the basis of a study of a number of program documents of the “Russian Empire” pro-ject itself. The model of the new state, called the “Russian (Romanov) Empire” or the Sovereign State of the Imperial Throne, aims to restore the Romanov dynasty in modern Russia by introducing to the throne one of the heirs of the Romanov’s house – Nikolai Kirillovich Leiningen-Romanov under the name of Nikolai III. Unlike most theoretical construc-tions of other Russian monarchists, Bakov’s scenar-io means the obligatory presence of a certain territo-ry. According to the plan of the “neo-imperials”, these lands are supposed to be acquired from vari-ous countries in different parts of the world. The article analyzes the main parameters of the project and the specific features of the new state. Conclu-sions are drawn about the real prospects of the ac-tion plan proposed by Bakov to create a new state entity.

Authors:   Siberian branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Maklashova Yelena Gavrilovna
Published: April 2020

In this paper, the author considers the effectiveness of State ethnic policy implementation in the region in terms of the dynamics of interethnic relations assessment in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The results of the sociological data on the question of interethnic relations state in dynamics (from 2014 to 2017) and in the administrative-territorial context are presented. There are districts with a favorable inter-ethnic relations climate and districts requiring spe-cial attention from the authorities in Yakutia. The impact of the ethnic structure of the districts on the perception of the ethnic situation by the people is evaluated in the paper. To increase the effectiveness of regional State policy, the author offers to use the results and pay attention to differentiated situations in interethnic relations in conditions of different density of ethnic diversity in districts.
Balkan Peninsula: National Identification as a Dominant Separatism Factor
Authors:   Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Fadeyeva Inna Avenirovna
Published: April 2020

Balkan separatism has deep historical roots, and its modern size and forms are the product of numerous local, regional and global events. Today, the Balkan Peninsula has become synonymous with extreme fragmentation. It is the countries located in this terri-tory that are characterized by a contradictory com-bination of modernity with the past, which leads to the emergence of socio-economic and political mul-tiplicity, exacerbation and overlapping of heteroge-neous conflicts. As a result, in the end there are pro-cesses of redistribution of borders and the for-mation of new independent states. In particular, this concerns the problem of determining the status of Kosovo and the settlement of interethnic and re-gional confrontations. In view of these circumstanc-es, the paper discusses the features of the people’s ethnic identity formation on the Balkan Peninsula and its influence in shaping the destructive pro-cesses. The main factors of national identity that contribute to the development of separatist tenden-cies are also identified. Special attention is paid to the content of the Westphalia system, which today is no longer an effective tool for ensuring the sover-eignty of states. The contradiction of Westphalia principles, which formed the basis of wars in the former Yugoslav republics, is also indicated. It was found that, in fact, the separatist movements and the breakup of Yugoslavia were due to objective problems in the development of common statehood, which consisted in the fact that the idea of the Yu-goslav national state did not take place in the coun-try, because the political and cultural identity of the country's population was not ensured. Particular emphasis is placed on economic factors that stimu-late the emergence of conflicts between ethnic groups and provoked separatist movements.
The Problem of Historical and Cultural Heritage Preservation in Kosovo: the World Politics Aspect
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Bulatova Alina Sergeevna
Published: April 2020

The purpose of this work is to identify the relation-ship between world politics and culture in the con-text of the concept of sustainable development. As an example, the author analyzes the situation in Kosovo, where cultural and historical objects have become hostages of the ethno-confessional conflict and the subject of bargaining by actors in the inter-national arena. The relevance of the paper is deter-mined by the presence of ongoing terrorist attacks against cultural heritage sites in the region and the world. During the conflict in Kosovo, there was a mutual cultural and ethnic genocide, which the con-flict parties are not willing to admit. Moreover, given the primary responsibility of the state for the preser-vation of historical and religious sites, the question arises about the future of heritage sites in Kosovo with an unrecognized status. In this regard, the in-ternational community needs to be more actively involved in the situation in Kosovo.

Published: April 2020

This study examines the effectiveness of the TPSACK courseware which was developed with artistic skills practice to discover the Technological, Pedagogical and Content Knowledge components in the design of the courseware. The courseware was developed based on Dick and Carey Instructional Design Model (2009) to address instruction as an entire system and focusing on the inter-relationship between various factors such as context, content, learning and instruction. A total of 130 respondents Art and Design Education (ADE) group were selected to analyse the TPSACK courseware. The courseware is aimed to develop the students’ artistic skills using technological assistance. The artistic skills included in the courseware are vital for students in preparation of becoming a future art educator. The TPSACK courseware was evaluated using questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale comprising elements of interface design, content, artistic skills practice and the usability of the courseware. The findings revealed that the courseware indicated satisfactory and appropriate practices of artistic skills for Art students to improve their personal skills. Not only that, the study also suggests that the Dick and Carey Instructional model (2009) will be an ideal model to provide an instructional framework for courseware development.
LECTURER’S FEEDBACK AND ITS IMPACT ON STUDENT LEARNING: A STUDY OF A PUBLIC UNIVERSITY IN SARAWAK, MALAYSIA
Authors: Singh Kuldip
Published: April 2020

Feedback is an essential part of effective learning. It helps students understand the subject being studied and gives them clear guidance on how to improve their learning. Feedback is one of the most powerful influences on learning and achievement, but this impact can be either positive or negative. Providing students with meaningful feedback can greatly enhance their learning and achievement. Lecturer’s feedback plays an integral part in enhancing student learning in higher education. While effective feedback has frequently been identified as a key strategy in learning and teaching, little known research has focused on students’ perceptions of feedback and the contribution feedback makes to students’ learning. This study examined the impact of lecturer feedback on student learning. This study involved both Degree and diploma students studying in various fields in a local university in Sarawak. The sample size used for the study was 370 students. Lecturer feedback was measured using a scale developed by Susan Brookhart (2008). The results of the study show a significant and positive relationship between lecturer feedback and student learning. Another finding of the study is that motivational feedback is the main determinant of student learning followed by mode of feedback. This study also highlights how feedback can enhance student learning in higher education. Limitations and recommendations are discussed.
ASSESSMENT AND MODULATION OF STUDENT BEHAVIOR THROUGH PERSUASIVE DESIGN
Authors: Ismail Mohamad Izwan , Abu Bakar Nur Ain , Mohamed Mawarni
Published: April 2020

The education system has existed for centuries. However, despite the rapid change in our technology, lifestyle and needs in the workforce, it has failed to adapt accordingly. The current system relies heavily on industrial-age values where students are expected to follow instructions and are stripped of their agency rather than being encouraged to actively participate in their learning process. As a result, students end up lacking motivation and engagement. Persuasive design focuses on influencing human behavior to improve long-term engagement through various mechanisms. Here, we have embedded the design in the form of gamification elements into the classroom mechanic to aid in the assessment and modulation of student behavior. “ExP”, a points-based incentive system tied to all aspects of the classroom mechanics was designed to work in tandem with existing student behavior. Accurate balancing of the system effectively grants students agency and allows more clarity in their classroom interactions and stratagem. The study assesses the effectiveness of the system in improving the academic performance of Diploma-level students. A group of 21 repeating students was observed for an entire semester. A paired sample t-test using SPSS was performed to draw the results. The final exam scores indicates a significant difference in the scores before (M=42.52, SD= 3.82) and after (M=50.14, SD=11.23) the implementation the gamification system with p=0.004. It can be concluded that the incorporation of persuasive design in the form of gamification has potential to significantly improve students’ academic performance.
IMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE OF MUET STUDENTS IN REPORT-WRITING: FROM EXPERIMENT TO ACTIONS
Authors: Voon Boo Ho , Teo Ai Kiat , Voon Joyce E.C.
Published: April 2020

Students always need sincere and kind guidance from the teachers. Hence, a true customer orientation is instrumental in teaching English as it is always good to understand the students’ needs to improve their performance.  This paper addresses the requirement to understand the students’ needs and then teach accordingly to improve the quality of MUET report-writing. A class-room based experiment was done on 40 students in a government school. The students were briefed on the requirements for report writing in MUET. There were experimental and control groups in this study. This research found that the format-driven teaching (FBT) had significantly improved the writing performance of the MUET students. The results indicated that the overall mean score of the students before the FBT teaching stood at 18.50 (out of maximum 40.00), but the score significantly increased to 23.95 after the students were briefed and taught based on the format and requirements of the report-writing. The quality of their writings was much better than before. This research suggested the need of putting the interests of the students first in teaching. The students might have different needs such as not knowing the expectations of the examiners or teachers. Implications and direction for future research were also discussed.
A Study on the Use of Humour in Motivating Students to Learn English
Authors: Salmee Sufi Amin , Mohd Arif Marina
Published: April 2020

Throughout the years, a lot of research has been looking at the significance of effective atmosphere in second language classrooms. We often overlook the fact that humour is a vital element in attaining a supportive learning environment that can benefit students. There is limited research conducted on the effectiveness of the use of humour in ESL classroom, especially in the context of motivating the students to learn, in which the students are used as the indicator and method in gaining insights as they are the ones who experienced the learning process. Thus, this study was conducted to look at students’ views towards the effects of humour on their intrinsic motivation to learn English. A survey was conducted using questionnaires adapted from Deci & Ryan’s (2003) Intrinsic Motivation Inventory Test (IMI) on 70 students of various programmes from the Faculty of Education, UiTM. The acquired data were then compared based on each of the programmes in the Faculty of Education, UiTM. The findings from this study revealed that majority of the respondents strongly agree that humour has positive effects on students’ intrinsic motivation in learning English. The positive responses received from the respondents indicate that humour is indeed an effective teaching tool in promoting intrinsic motivation in learning the second language.

Published: April 2020

There are challenges in teaching research methodology as highlighted by many researchers. Among the challenges are strategies for putting material in context. For achieving this purpose, students’ engagement in the learning process needs to be re-looked. This paper shares a practice in engaging students in a research methodology class. The practice aims to assist active learning among the students as informed by the constructivist learning theory. Specifically, a teaching philosophy focuses in applying The Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) is highlighted. An action research was conducted to investigate how the students learn a topic of research methodology within the practice of ZPD. The action research aims to bridge the gap between research and the practice of putting material in the context of learning. The findings of this study showed that students found research methodology a difficult subject, but they experienced good discussion and engaged themselves in the classroom discussion. The discussion assists them in recalling and memorising as well as creating more examples for the context of learning. Nevertheless, they need more meaningful materials to support their learning.
SOCIO-CULTURAL INTERPRETATION OF PERSON’S PSYCHOLOGICAL RESOURCES IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS
Authors: HAKOBYAN Naira , KHACHATRYAN Anna
Published: April 2020

A person lives and works in society. Out of the socio-cultural environment, it is impossible to imagine any aspect of a person's life. In many cases, the characteristics of the social environment expressed in the appropriate cultural forms depend on the means and interaction of the person's psychological resources.

A person uses different resources at different stages of life. A good share of these resources in the majority of cases are not appreciated and perceived as ordinary means of life. In some cases these resources cannot be reached because of conflict with negative psychological phenomena, whether it is a traumatic or negative past experience or an irrational thinking. This is why the appropriate trainings for reducing the impact of these negative phenomena and providing stress-resistance are of much importance. On the other hand, the knowledge and skills gained during the trainings can be useful and applicable in process of overcoming possible conflicts and coping with potential emergencies. Due to psychological resources, helping to adapt to stress, and formating of positive socio-cultural environment it is easier to get out of the stressful situation.
Zespół rozdęcia torebki soczewki – rzadkie powikłanie po operacji zaćmy
Authors: Kanclerz Piotr , Przewłócka Katarzyna
Published: April 2020

Zespół rozdęcia torebki soczewki jest rzadkim powikłaniem po operacji usunięcia zaćmy, które może się rozwinąć nawet wiele lat po zabiegu. Do głównych objawów zalicza się nagłe lub stopniowe przesunięcie wady refrakcji w kierunku krótkowzroczności, a w przypadku zmętnienia płynu wewnątrztorebkowego również pogorszenie ostrości wzroku. Optyczna koherentna tomografia przedniego odcinka oka może potwierdzić rozpoznanie, pomocne może być także obrazowanie kamerą Scheimpfluga bądź biomikroskopią ultradźwiękową. Za złoty standard leczenia uznaje się kapsulotomię tylną (ewentualnie przednią) laserem Nd:YAG. Korzyścią z leczenia chirurgicznego jest możliwość całkowitego usunięcia płynu wewnątrztorebkowego. W poniższej pracy przedstawiono współczesną klasyfikację, metody diagnostyczne i zasady postępowania w zespole rozdęcia torebki soczewki.

Published: April 2020

Introdução: A bronquite e a bronquiolite aguda são infecções de vias respiratórias causadas principalmente, pelo vírus sincicial respiratório, que apresenta sua maior incidência em menores de 6 meses. É uma das causas mais frequentes de internação hospitalar em lactentes, sendo um acometimento associado à grande morbidade. Objetivo: Identificar o perfil epidemiológico da bronquite e bronquiolite aguda em menores de 1 ano, na cidade de Ribeirão Preto/SP, e propor estratégias para redução na gravidade dos casos e número de internações. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo observacional transversal com levantamento de dados sobre bronquite e bronquiolite no Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do SUS, no período de agosto de 2018 a agosto de 2019. Além disso, foi realizada uma revisão sistematizada nas bases de dados: Scielo, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) e PubMed. Resultados: No período avaliado constatou-se um total de 322 internações de menores de 1 ano em Ribeirão Preto, com maior prevalência para o sexo masculino e uma tendência de aumento no tempo e valor médio das internações, o que, consequentemente, gera custos elevados com esse agravo. Discussão: A literatura se baseia no benefício do aleitamento materno para redução da gravidade dos quadros respiratórios e, como resultado, do número de internações desta faixa etária. Conclusão: As intervenções propostas apontam uma necessidade de promoção da amamentação, por meio de campanhas escolares, capacitação dos profissionais de saúde e conscientização das famílias para reverter e/ou pelo menos melhorar a situação atual.

Comparison of speed of onset and analgesic effect of 2% mepivacaine hydrochloride deposited within or outside the neurovascular bundle at the level of the proximal sesamoid bones in horses with naturally occurring forefoot-related lameness
Authors: Schumacher John , Cole Robert C. , DeGraves Fred J. , Cofield Lawrence G.
Published: April 2020

OBJECTIVE

To compare the speed of onset and analgesic effect of mepivacaine deposited within or immediately outside the neurovascular bundle at the base of the proximal sesamoid bones in horses.

ANIMALS

6 horses with naturally occurring forefoot-related lameness.

PROCEDURES

In a crossover study design, horses were randomly assigned to receive 1 of 2 treatments first, with the second treatment administered 3 to 7 days later. Trotting gait was analyzed with an inertial sensor–based motion analysis system immediately before treatment to determine degree of lameness. Afterward, ultrasound guidance was used to inject 2% mepivacaine hydrochloride around the palmar digital nerves of the affected forelimb at the level of the base of the proximal sesamoid bones either within the subcircumneural space or outside the circumneural sheath. After injection, gait was reevaluated at 5-minute intervals for 45 minutes.

RESULTS

Mepivacaine deposition outside the circumneural sheath did not resolve lameness in any horse; for 3 horses, the mean time to 70% reduction of initial vertical head movement was 13.3 minutes, and the remaining 3 horses had no such reduction at any point. Mepivacaine deposition within the subcircumneural space resulted in a mean time to 70% reduction of initial vertical head movement of 6.7 minutes and mean time to resolution of lameness of 21.7 minutes.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Results suggested that when peripheral nerves of horses lie within a sheath, local anesthetic solution should be deposited within the sheath for an effective nerve block. If local anesthetic solution is deposited outside the sheath, the nerve block may yield erroneous results.
Comparative Shear Tests of Bolt Rods Under Static and Dynamic Loading
Authors: Pytlik Andrzej
Published: April 2020

This article presents the methodology and results of single shear tests of bolt rods under dynamic impact loading generated by means of a drop hammer. Comparative analysis was also performed for bolt rod load capacity, stress and shear work under static and dynamic (impact) loading. The developed method of single shear testing of bolt rods under impact loading makes it possible to obtain repeatable test results concerning maximum bolt rod shearing force, shear stress and shear work values.

Comparative shear tests of four types of bolt rods under static and impact loading showed that the APB-type bolt rods made of AP770 steel, which was characterised by having the highest strength, exhibited the greatest shear work. AM22-type bolt rods exhibited a very similar work value. Though the AM22-type bolt rods made of A500sh steel demonstrated lower strength than the APB-type bolts, as well as a smaller diameter and cross section, they dissipated the impact energy better thanks to their higher plasticity. This could indicate the direction of optimisation for bolt rods in order to increase their impact strength.

Mathematical relationships were also formulated for selected tests, describing the real single shear courses F d =f(t) of bolts under impact loading. The obtained relationships could be applied in the load assessment process of bolt rods intended for use under roof caving, tremor and rock burst conditions.

Published: April 2020

Diabetes is defined as a chronic hyperglycemia which should be countered by the effective, safe and readily available hypoglycemic agents. Herbal is among alternatives that has been used by society for years but lacks of documented evidences. Tinospora crispa (TC) is enriched by phytochemicals which potentially reduce blood glucose thus is useful for diabetic patients. This study aimed to investigate the potency of TC inreducing blood sugar and body weight. It involved 30 healthy rats divided into 5 groups namely: normal control, normal fed with TC extract, diabetic, TC-treated diabetic (dose 500 mg/kg w/w), and vitamin E-traeted diabetic rats (60 IU). The body weight and fasting blood glucose were measured each week for 1 month. The administration of TC extract 500 mg/kg (w/w) helps to maintain body weight in diabetic rats and reduce the fasting blood glucose. TC is highly potent as hypoglycemic agents therefore needed to be explored further.
Recitation of sacred text in rites of passage among the Muslims of Volga-Ural Region (XIX – XXI centuries)
Authors: Sokolov Oleg
Published: April 2020

The subject of this research is the rites of passage among the Muslims of Volga-Ural Region in historical perspective. Ritual practices of the Muslim population of Volga Region are of particular interest since they developed in the conditions of continuous contact with non-Muslim population, and religious was often a key factor of national self-identification. Examination of the patterns of inclusion of the sacred text fragments into Muslim rituals in Volga-Ural Region has not previously been a topic of separate research within the Russian and Western anthropology. Analysis of functionality of the sacred text in rites of passage among the Muslims of Volga Region was conducted within the framework of methodology of diachronic analysis through comparing the records from Arabographic manuscripts and modern editions of prayer books. It is underlined that the prayers presented in manuscript of the XIX century are formulaic and repetitive, consisting usually of brief repeating fragments – epithets of Allah, names of prophets and chapters Ayats. Modern prayer books contain the whole Ayats and Surahs, or citations from Hadith. Such difference can be explained by widely accessible printed literature and expansive increase in the literacy level among population of the region comparing to the XIX century. The author notes that the great majority of prayers in both types of sources are in Arab language, which emphasizes a sacred significance of Arab language in the Muslim culture.
Candidature of Ivan the Terrible for the throne of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the Polish political pamphlets of the period of first “free election” (1572-1574)
Authors: Eylbart Nataliya Vladimirovna
Published: April 2020

This article analyzes the Polish political pamphlets published during the time of first “free election” (1572-1574), the candidature of Ivan the Terrible or one of his sons was nominated for the throne of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The main goal consists in answering the question: did the Russian Tzar have a substantial number of supporters among the Polish-Lithuanian ruling elite, and did he have a chance for being elected as the king of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1573. The author applies the following methods of research: analysis, synthesis, comparison, induction, deduction, problem-chronological, historical-genetic, objectivity, and historicism. The author translates the fragments of these pamphlets, as well as introduces them into the Russian scientific discourse for the first time. The conclusion is made on the significant support of “Moscovian candidate” by the Polish public opinion, and under the certain circumstances, his great chances to be elected for the Polish-Lithuanian throne. The author refutes the thesis presented in the modern Polish historiography on “miniscule” chance of Ivan the Terrible to become the king of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

La análisis es basada en el registro de las unidades de información que hablan del tema alimentación, e evaluación de su frecuencia de diferentes categorías con producción y uso de software específico. La metodología posibilita que diferentes temas en un mesmo texto sean categorizados y clasificados distintamente, minimizando fallas. De los 341 artículos, se observó 1.668 unidades de la información, observando el foco en las recomendaciones y efectos de los alimentos, com más frecuencia de los alimentos naturales. La origen de los textos es brasileña, y las fuentes identificadas son en gran parte, especializadas; el engajamento de los textos es favorable a la salud.
THE QUESTION OF THE OTHER IN TELEJOURNALISM: notes on ways of representation of alterity in in-depth reporting
Authors: Mendes Lobato José Augusto
Published: April 2020

This article aims to discuss the processes of representation of the other in interpretative journalistic television narratives. In particular, we focus on in-depth reporting and its potential of construction of what we call narratives of alterity – cultural texts that lead us, at the same time, towards the discovery of the unknown and its familiarization. Anchored in the sciences of language and studies on journalistic genres, as well as in results of a research on techniques of construction of alterity in television, we propose an analytical approach by categories of difference (geographical and sociocultural) and representation strategies (the construction of borders, the authentication and production of the effect of reality, and the interaction between fictionalization and factualization). Once combined, these axes offer tools for analyzing the formation of discourses of alterity in contemporary telejournalism.Este trabalho tem como objetivo discutir os processos de representação do outro em narrativas televisuais jornalísticas de caráter interpretativo. Em específico, lançamos foco sobre a grande reportagem e seu potencial de construção do que denominamos narrativas de alteridade – textos culturais que nos conduzem, a um só tempo, rumo à descoberta do desconhecido e à familiarização. Ancorados nas ciências da linguagem e em estudos sobre gêneros jornalísticos, bem como em resultados de uma pesquisa sobre técnicas de construção da alteridade na televisão, propomos um enfoque de análise por categorias da diferença (geográfica e sociocultural) e estratégias de representação (a construção de fronteiras; a autenticação e produção do efeito de real; e a interação entre ficcionalização e factualização). Combinados, esses eixos oferecem chaves de análise para a formação de discursos associados à alteridade no telejornalismo contemporâneo.Este trabajo tiene como objetivo discutir los procesos de representación del otro en narrativas televisivas periodísticas interpretativas.

AN ANALYSIS OF NAMING IN JOURNALISM: sexual and gender dissidence in Folha de S. Paulo
Authors: De Santana Eder Luis Cordeiro
Published: April 2020

This article is part of a study which establishes naming as a foundation of journalism. Two objectives are worked on: (1) identify how LGBTQI+1 people were named in Folha de S. Paulo in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries; (2) present a three-stage methodological proposal: content analysis (Bardin, 2016), observation of framing and sources, an statement analysis based on the Foucaultian perspective of discourse. The corpus is a collection of content published in the month of June from five different decades: 1969, 1979, 1989, 1999 and 2009. The period from which the material was selected used the Stonewall riots2 as a historical milestone.Este artigo faz parte de uma pesquisa voltada a pensar a nomeação como fundamento do jornalismo. São trabalhados dois objetivos: (1) identificar como pessoas LGBTQI+  foram nomeadas na Folha de S.

Virtual Screening Enabled Selection of Antiviral Agents Against Covid-19 Disease Targeting Coronavirus Endoribonuclease NendoU: Plausible Mechanistic Interventions in the Treatment of New Virus Strain
Authors: Joshi Gaurav , Poduri Ramarao
Published: April 2020

SARS-CoV-2 is the seventh coronavirus that is reported to cause infection in Homo sapiens. Considering its pandemic nature, development of newer and effective therapeutic strategies, drug repurposing in combination with target validation approaches has led to the identification of new antiviral molecules. In current work, we performed virtual screening and molecular docking of 8548 ligands on target protein coronavirus endoribonuclease NendoU (3VWW). The molecules selected includes FDA approved drugs along with investigational or experimental drugs recommended for anticancer, antiviral, antimicrobial, and antiprotozoal properties. The thorough selection and their rationality with Covid-19 led us to propose that FDA approved drug DB00876 (Eprosartan), Investigational drugs DB15063 (Inarigivir soproxil), DB12307 (Foretinib) and DB01813 an experimental drug may be repurposed for treatment of Covid-19 disease.
Treatment of rat wounds using plasma-jet parameters (Exposure time and gas flow rate)

Published: April 2020

Worldwide, an estimated millions of patients seek medical care for wounds annually. Different methods and treatment materials have been examined and developed to promote wound healing. Recently, new technology, plasma medicine, has emerged to offer new solutions in wound care. To investigate the efficacy of non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma jet (NAPPJ) for the treatment of wounds, they were performed 1 cm long and 0.5 cm wide using a surgical scalpel. Treatment was done immediately after the wound operation using an argon plasma jet with different gas flow rates (2.5, 5, 7.5,10 and 12.5slm) and exposure time (3, 6, 9 and 12 min). The treatment was donein a second day. After treatment done the wounds left for one day and in the third day, rat skin tissue has taken and tissue sections had made. The results showed that the mechanical strength of the wound repaired in the plasma treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group. In addition, evidence from histological studies suggests that wound epithelium is significantly accelerated compared to the control group; vascular and fibrosis (collagen synthesis) increased significantly and the inflammatory stage in wound healing was shorter in the plasma treatment group. The percentage of the necrotic area was higher in the control group than in the plasma treatment group.  Furthermore, exposure to voids within the NAPPJ resulted in a significant reduction in the number of neutrophils infiltrated. NAPPJ exposure to interstitials has a positive effect on wounds that lead to wound healing by limiting the progression of the injury.Also, the results show that the speed of gas flow increasesthe wound healing process andthe speed of gas flow increasesthe active species and accelerates the healing process.
Crime au féminin et guerres contemporaines : corrélations
Authors: Fontaine Kathryne
Published: April 2020

La criminalité au féminin doit se penser à travers les discours historiques, anthropologiques, sociologiques, linguistiques et littéraires, lesquels constituent la matière même de la connaissance d’une époque. Plusieurs ouvrages publiés au cours des deux dernières décennies décortiquent la figure de la femme criminelle en l’inscrivant dans un cadre heuristique précis : le contexte des guerres contemporaines. La guerre fournit des perspectives singulières depuis lesquelles envisager la place et les rôles qu’une société, en un temps donné, concèdent aux femmes, voire lui imposent ; en retour, l’angle féminin dans la recherche sur la guerre permet de saisir des enjeux jusqu’ici souvent occultés par l’histoire officielle. Forts de leur dimension narrative capable de recréer des univers et des situations complexes, les romans d’Ahmadou Kourouma (Allah n’est pas obligé, 2000), de Gil Courtemanche (Un dimanche à la piscine à Kigali, 2004) et de Yasmine Char (La main de Dieu, 2008), ainsi que la pièce de Wajdi Mouawad (Incendies, 2003), interrogent, sur fond des principaux problèmes que posent les guerres d’aujourd’hui, les paradigmes dominants associés à la violence au féminin. En ce qu’elles mènent à reconcevoir les catégories mêmes avec lesquelles nous pensons traditionnellement le recours féminin à la violence en situation de guerre, les variantes de la criminelle que ces œuvres présentent forment un angle inédit à partir duquel envisager les guerres de notre époque.

Violence et crime dans deux romans mauriciens : tactiques d’esquive ou stratégies politiques ?
Authors: Magdelaine-Andrianjafitrimo Valérie
Published: April 2020

La littérature contemporaine de l’océan Indien, et de l’île Maurice en particulier, livre des portraits marquants de femmes violentes et/ou criminelles. Cette violence est d’autant plus saisissante qu’elle émane d’espaces post-esclavagistes et postcoloniaux dans lesquels les femmes ont été victimisées et leurs corps réifiés. Peut-elle être lue comme une reprise de pouvoir paradoxale qui déferait les assignations de genres et troublerait l’ordre des dominations ? Considérer la violence ou le crime commis par des femmes comme simplement réactionnels risquerait toutefois d’aboutir à une dépolitisation de leur acte. La littérature contemporaine, en insistant sur une intersectionnalité des rapports de classes, de couleurs, d’âges, met en exergue la colère qui gronde chez ces femmes. Le crime peut-il être l’une de ces « tactiques » qui consistent à trouver une place pour soi dans un lieu imposé et configuré par l’autre, voire comme une stratégie politique qui aiderait à la constitution d’un nouveau langage pour dire les mondes postcoloniaux ? Nous nous posons ces questions à propos de deux romans mauriciens, Le Journal d’une vieille folle d’Umar Timol et Blue Bay Palace de Nathacha Appanah.
